The Stone In the Road.

There was a duke once who disguised
himself and placed great rock in the mid
die of the road near his place. Next day a
peasant came that way with his ox-cart
Oh, these lazy people :" said he, "thare is
this stone lying right in the middle Of the
road, aud no one will take il out of the way"
And so Hans went on, scolding about the la
ziness of the people. Next came a gay sol
der along. His head was held so far back
that he didn't notice the stone, and so he
stumbled over it, lie began to storm the
country people around there for leaving a
huge rock in the road. Then he went on
Next came company Of merchants. When
they came to the stone, the road was so mar
row that they had 10 20 of in single file on
the other side. One of them cried out :
Did anybody ever see the like Of that big
stone lying here the whole Of the morning
and not single person stopping to take 1t
away ?"
1t lay there for three weeks, and no one
tried TO move IL. Then the duke sent
around TO all the people on his lands to meet
where this stone lay, as he had something
to tell them.
The day came, and a great crowd gath
cred, Old Hans, the farmer, was there, aud
so were the merchants. A horn was heard,
and splendid oavalcade came galloping up.
The duke got down from his horse, and be-
gan TO speak to the people gathered there
My friends, it was who put this stone
here three weeks ago. Every passer-by has
left it just were it is, and scolded his neigh
Dor for not taking it out of the way"
lie stopped down and lifted up the stone
Directly underneath II was a round hollow
and In the hollow was small leather bag
lie held it up that all might see what was
written on it For him who lifts up the
stone" lie united the bag turned it up
side-down, and out upon ths stone fell a
beautiful gold ring and twenty largo, bright
coins.
So they all lost the prize, because they had
not learned the lesson, or formed the habit
Of diligence.

The Passions that Induce Disease.

The passions which act most severely on
the physical life are anger, fear, hatred and
grief. The other passions are comparatively
innocuous. What is called the passion OF
love is not injurious until 1t lapses into grief
and anxiety on the contrary, it sustains the
physical power, What Is called ambition is
of itself harmless for ambition, when it
exists purely, is a mobility lifting its owner
from himself into the exalted service of
mankind. 1t Injuries when it is debased by
its meaner ally, pride, or when, stimulating
a man to too strenuous efforts after some
great object, it leads him TO the performance
of excessive mental or physical labor, and
10 the consequences that follow such effort.
The passion called avariOe, according TO my
experience, tends rather 10 the preservation
of the body than TO its deterioration. The
avaricious man, who seems TO the luxurious
world to be debarring himself of all the
pleasures of the world, and even to be expos
ing himself to the fangs of poverty, is gener
ally placing himself IN precise conditions
favorable TO long and healthy existence
BY this economy he is saving himself from
all the worry incident TO penury by his oau-
tion he is screening himself from all the
risks incident 10 speculation or the attempt
TO amass wealth by hazardous means by
his regularity Of hours and perfect appropria-
tion OF the sunlight in preference to arti-
fetal illumination, he rests and works in
periods that precisely accord with the perl
odicy of nature by his abstemiousness in
living he takes just enough to live, which is
precisely the right thing to do according to
the rigid natural law. Thus, in almost every
particular, he goes on his way freer than
other men from the external causes of all the
induced diseases, and better protected than
most men from the worst consequences OF
those diseases which spring from causes that
are uncomfortable.

The BOYS Room.

We wish especially to urge upon mothers
the propriety Of giving to the boys, as soon
as they reach the age of twelve or fourteen
years, one room mot bed-chamber), for
whose (reasonably) good order they shall be
responsible, and which they shall consider
wholly their own. The floor should be I'M
carpeted, of oiled wood the furniture Of the
same material. let it be papered, curtained,
decorated according TO the boys own fancy;
If the taste is bad, they will be interested
after a whils in correcting it, There should
be plain bookcases, big solid table in the
csntra, hy all means an open fire, and room
after that for Joe's printing press, or Charley's
box of tools, or Sans cabinet of minerals F,
for chess and checker-boards, or any other
game which is deemed proper. To this room
the boys should be allowed TO invite their
friends, and learn how to be hospitable hosts,
even 10 the extent of an innocent little feast
now aud then. Father mothtr, and sisters
should refrain from entering it except as
guests and our word for it, they will be
doubly honored and welcomed when they de
come - Scfibuer

Watch the Chlldren,s Feet.

AT this season of the year, of frosty morn
ings and damp evenings, the following ad-
vice from the New York Post is very import
ant " Lifelong discomfort, and sudden death
often come to children through the inatten-
tion or carelessness Of the parents. A child
should never be allowed to go to sleep with
cold feet the thing to be last attended to is
to see that the feet are dry and warm. Neg
lect Of this has often resulted in a dangerous
attack of Group, diphtheria. or fatal sore
throat. Always on coming home from school,
on entering the house from visit or errand
in rainy, muddy or thawy weather, the child
should remove its shoes, and the mother
should herself ascertain whether the stock
ings are the least damp. II they are they
should be taken off the feet held before the
fire aud rubbed with the hands till perfectly
dry, and another pair of stockings and an.
other pair of shoes put on. The reserve
shoes and stockings should be kept where
they are good and dry, so as to be ready for
use on minutes notice"

is doing her best, and no woman can endure
that best to be slighted. Remember the long,
weary nights she sat up with the little babe
that died; remember the love and care she
bestowed upon you when you had that long
spell of sickness. Do you think she is made
Of cast-iron 7 Wait-wat in silence and
forbearance, and the light will come back to
her eyes-the old light Of the old days.
Wait, wife, before you speak reproachfully
to your husband when he comes home late,
weary, and out of sorts" lie worked hard
for you all day, perhaps far into the night

Our Burdens Lightened.

A young student once inquired Of DIR. Sam
uel Taylor, Of Phillips Academy, with how
large school he should begin his life.work
as = teacher,
Young man, said he, stake all you can
upon yourself. 'Tisn't hard work that kills
man it's vexation."
How true this principle holds in the mat
ter Of housekeeping, every earnest worker
knows. A general outline Of our work
should be made, so that every duty shall
come forward In Its time aud place but the
heart should not be oppressed with to-tnor-
rows duties, since to-day has, or should have,
all we can well attend to.
A little incident Of my early years taught
me lesson for which | find frequent use in
my domestic life. My mother, with the care
of large family OF children, and farm work
on her hands, added to her other labors that
of weaving coverlets OF difficult patterns, and
said it was restful to betake herself to her
loom from the more distracting duties OF the
household.
One day, Immediately after washing the
dinner dishes. | went into the weaving-room.
"Mother, what are you going 10 have for
supper ?" asked
"Mercy sake, child | don't know I'm
not going to worry about supper till supper
time comes"
Supper time brought the usual supply Of
well prepared food Cor we had warm sup
pers in the busy season), but the mind Of the
housekeeper had been refreshed by an entire
change of thought and labor When the
hour for returning to the cook room came,
she was more ready for it than if her
thoughts had run on in the same channel the
whole day through. So, when find myself

anxiety about those that are to follow, re
cur to the wisdom Of my mothers example,
and say, Don't worry about supper till sup.
per time comes" Thus my head is often
relieved Of a large share Of its burdens, and
90 on my way with cheerful courage.
A few years since, visited the family Of
a cousin, whose domestic duties were Of the
most onerous and distracting nature. With
the care of large family of boarders, she
had also her sick and aged parents to provide
for Everything was carried forward with
the utmost cheerfulness and when in.
quired, =" How do you live, with so much "a
do ?" she replied;
cousin Lydia, live 10y the hour"
81 do hope and pray that you will not al
ways have 10 work SO hard, said |.
Pray, rather" said she, that may have
grace given me to go through it all. There
is a little chamber in the attic that | go "a
once day at least, and there | renew my
strength. lneyer lay my head upon my pill
low, however late the hour, till have gone
there for my daily food"
Here, then, lay the great secret of her sue
cess. Leaning upon the promises of Hin
who caleth the heavy laden with their bur
dens to rest in Him, she went cheerfully on
taking no anxious thought for the morrow.
