ends with their days work aud the employo

CARDS as already insufficient wages
Many regard change as the sovereign
remedy; and so are always employing or
working for strangers
Mr. Francis Bush, who recently died in
Boston, solved this question ia his business.
and left a very high example for other EN-
poyers
Mr. Bush commenced the manufacture of
hats in Aliddlescx village more than half a
century ago, before Lowell had even a name.
When he removed to Boston as the head Of
the firm Of Bent x Bush, so h0norably known
here, he brought several of his employees
with him, and kept them tin his death.
We should like those women who always
complain of employers and low wages to
converse with q worthy woman who began

enteen, and has done so ever since, although
now yergiug towards three score years and

NAMED with them forty years
When his son was old enough to learn the
business he took him there also, and the two
wrought side by side. Others in the store
have been there ten and twenty years and
some who went into the business as little
boys are now the principal statesmen there.
The influence Of Mr. Bush over his em-
ployes was always on the side of strict tenn
perance and virtue. While be regarded
strictly his own business interests. lac was
rigidly just with his employees, If one of
them took to evil ways he labored to save
him, took the interests Of his family on his
own heart, and dismissed him only when for
bearance ceased TO be a virtue
Mr. Bush was not known abroad as phil
anthropist; bnt in his own sphere he did,
with a true and noble generosity, all he
could 20 train young men in honorable busi-
ness habits and moral lives and TO relieve
the suffering around him. Beyond his own

4 Family Experience.

IteY. H. :. kcdzie, OF Dowagac. Nlchi.
gan, furnishes a narrative of the steady in.
fluence Of parental prayer through a series
OF years. Having described his fathers
prayeriul character and household pietv, as
exhibited in the commencement of q new
settlement in Michigan, hc continues thus
Two years alter our settlement in Deer.
field my father died. His children then
were all under sixteen years of age. For
my mother to take his place, as the religions
instructor of the family, was q great trial (;
but her husbands faith was in her, and She
would not stand in the way Of answers 10
her husbands prayers. Her timidity could
not do this IN the presence of the hired
men So She detained the children after
breakfast, and called them in before tea.
aud had family worship, in the absence Of
the hired men. So mother went Oh for a
year. Then a four days meeting was neld
at lpsilanti Mother took my oldest brother
20 the meeting, and the confident expecta-
tion of the family was that he was 10 be
converted. The case was stated, that q
widow had brought her eldest son forty
miles TO be converted. PRAYER was offered
in his and her behalf. When they returned.
we did not dare ask James if he was a
Christian but we knew the question would
be answered when the time came for family
worship. After tea mother brought ont the
family Bible aud asked James to take his
fathers place in conducting family worship.
which he promptly did We younger boys
preserved our gravity till the close, when we
scudded to the barn, and screamed with de-
light, chiefly from sympathy with ourmother.
Other four days meetings were held at
Monroe and elsewhere, and TO these one af-
ter another of the children went, with the
same expectation on the part Of the family,
and with the same result. And our mother
was spared in life till she found answer 10
her own and husband, prayers, and TO see
her five sons and two daughters members of
evangelical churches three of the sons sus-
tanning official relations, one as a ruling ell
der in Presbyterian church, one as a pastor
in Congregational church, and one as q
class-leader in Methodist church,
To this narrative Mr.. kedzie appends this
true remark Here is illustration of the
commonest office and the largest work of
prayer. Little provision is made to Justify
prayer to the sceptic by frequent, startling,
visible, and ndeniable issue Of PRAYER in
answers which, in silencing the sceptc
would foster fanaticism in our weak nature
Instead, in millions of hearts it keeps alive
the sense Of spiritual things lying back OF
sense. In prayer, these hearts seek right ad-
justment to those spiritual forces, and so it
serves vaster interests than scepticism can
comprehend"

The Business of the Church.

Now, then" eXclaims the first and great
est missionary TO the heathen, in a letter tc
the Corinthians, "we are ambassadors foi
Christ, as though God did beseech you by
us we pray you in Christ's stead, be We rec
onciled TO God" This principle underlies
the very existence Of the church, that those
who are already "reconcied to God should
preach the ministry Of reconciliation to
those who are not. The church is not a
close corporation, as the ancient Pharsees
supposed, its business in this world being
solely to carry ont the great commission,
And no purity Of orthodoxy or perfection of
organization can make that q church OF
Christ which refuses obedience. There may
be everything else but this-creeds, rituals,
traditions machinery, wealth, learning, mum
bers architecture, music, millinery, and all
manner of human upholstery as substitutes
Tor a church but TO take no part in the
eyangelization of the heather is 10 be out of
sympathy with Christ, and out of harmony
with His plans, The true successors of the
apostles are those who obey, as much as in
them is, our Lords command, Go We into
all the world, and preach the gospel to every
creature. '-Ir. 4. q. HdpgO0d.

The grand infrmity Of family prayer, or

Is that IL stands alone in the house and has
nothing in agreement with IL. Whereas, il
II Is TO have an honest reality, as many things
as possible should be soberly and deliberately
put in agreement with II; for, indeed. it is a
first point of religion itself that by is very
nature it rules presidingly over everything
desired. done, Thought, planned and prayed
for in the life. II is never 10 finish itself up
by words, or applications, or even by sacra-
ments, but the whole customs Of life and
character must be in it by consent Of the
man. And more depends on this hundred
times than upon any occasional fervors. or
passionate flights or agonizings. The grand
defect WILL in almost all cases. be in what is
more deliberate, viz. in the want of any
downright honest casting Of the family in

cepted at the first
See just what is wanted, by what is so
commonly not found First of all. the mere
observance of a kind of piety, that which
prays in the family TO keep up n reverent
show or acknowledgment Of religion, is not
enough. II leaves everything else in life to
be an open space for covetousness and all
the gay lustings of worldly vanity. 1t even
leaves out prayer, for the saying of prayers
is in no sense really the same as to pray.
Contrary to this, there should be some real
prayer, for the meanings sake, and not for
the she'll of religious decency, in which the
semblance may be kept This latter kind
looks, indeed, for no return of blessing from
God, but for only certain religious effect,
accomplished by the drill of repetitional OBJ
servance. There is also another kind of

Patterning after Mother.

Oliver Crosby was a youth sixteen OF
eighteen years of age. lie was the youngest
of a large family of children, From very
early life he manifested unusual sensibility
and tenderness ON the subject of religion
and the friend whom he made his principal
counselor, and 10 whom he ever unbosomed
his feelings on the subject with the utmost
freedom, was his own dear mother
One day he was reading some work on
education, and his mother was sitting neal
him. At length he stopped, and, addressing
himself TO her said
Mother, you do not know how much You
have been wdtchcd. When | was small,
used TO watch you in everything YOU did
so rs to see what it was right for me TO do
If | ever wanted to do anything that
thought might be wrong, ! used to devise
every plan to find out what goa thought OF
it and if you approved, | always felt safe
in doing it. ! never thought Of going to
faher | used TO think that he had to see
about supporting the family, and that you
had everything TO do about the soul so |
used TO pattern gfier you'
"Why my son, said the astonished
mother, "what did you think when you saw
me do things that were wrong
81 knew replied the son, " that you used
TO sdy that you were a sinner, like other peo-
pie but used to think that everything was
rigli that you did. could not believe that
mother did anything that was wrong"
The effect Of these remarks on the feel
ings of that mother was of course almost over
whelming. She was ready to give herself
up to bitter weeping when she found how
great her influence over her children had
been, and how little she had realized it.
" Had only known" she said, " that was
oJserred IN his uag how differently should
have felt, especially when indulging in feel
ings that were wrong And yet there are
few mothers whose feelings were more uni
form, and whose influence was more salu-
tary, or who have witnessed greater blessings
on their children.

cases, children do pattern gtier their parents,

tions, in all their intercourse with each other
