Teach Children.

Teach them that true lady may be
found in calico, quite as frequently as in
velvet.
Teach them that common school educa-
tion, with common sense, is better than a
college education without il.
Teach them that one good honest trade,
well mastered, is worth a dozen beggarly
"professions."
Teach them that "honesty is the best
policy that It's better TO be poor than 10
be rich on the profits of "orooked whiskey,"
ETC. and point your precept by examples Of
those who are now suffering the torments Of
sie doomed
Teach them TO respect their elders aud
themselves. Teach them that, "a they ex-
pect to be men some day, they cannot too
soon learn 10 protect the weak and helpless.
Teach them by your own example that
Smoking in moderation, though the least Of
the vices 10 which men are heirs, is disgust
ing TO others and hurtful TO themselves.
Teach them that TO wear patched clothes
IS no disgrace, but TO wear black eye" is.
Teach them that God is no respecter of
sea, and that when he gave the seventh com.
mandment lie meant it for them as well as
for their sisters
Teach them that by indulging their de
PRAYED appetites in the worst forms Of dissi-
patton they are not fitting themselves TO be
come the husbands Of pure girls.
Teach them that It's better to be an honest
man seven days in the week than to be
Christian CD one day aud a villain six days.
Teach them that God helps those who
help themselves"

shall be very glad of half a crown to get
drop of beer
ale took the half crown, aud promised
never TO pray as long as he lived. lie went
10 his work and when he had been digging
for little while, he thought TO himself,
that's queer thing I've taken money and
promised never 10 pray as long as ] liye.
lie thought il over aud IL made him feel
wretched He went home TO his wife aud
told her of it. Well, John said she, you
may depend upon it, it was the devili you've
sold yourself 10 the devil for half crown.
This so bowed the poor wretch down that he
did not know what TO do with himself. This
was all his thought, that he had sold himself
TO the devil for money, and would soon be
carried off 10 hell.
" lie commenced attending places OF wor-
ship, conscious that il was of no use, for he
had sold himself TO the devil but he was
really i'll, bodily ILL., through the fear and
trembling which had come upon him. One
night he recognized in the preacher the very
man who had given him the half crown ;
and probably the preacher had recognized
him, for the text was, What shall it profit
man, if he shall gain the whole world, and
lose his own soul 2 The preacher remarked
that he knew a man who had sold his soul
for half crown. The poor man rushed for
ward and said, Take it back take it
back 2 You said you would never pray
said the minister, il gave you half a crown.
DO you want TO pray 2 'Oh yes; ! would
give the world 10 be allowed 10 pray That
man was a great fool TO sell his soul for half
a crown bat some of you are a great deal
bigger fools, for you never had the half
crown, and yet you do not pray, aud dare
say never will; but will 90 down TO hell,
never having sought God. d."-SPWgeon.

Admiral Hope and the Swearer.

Admiral Hopes Christian frmness in re-
buking swearing and Improper language
when uttered in his presence is familiar 70
many. Not many years back a gentleman
in London omnibus was using very vio-
lent language, swearing and taking the
name Of the Lord Jesus Christ in vain, when
he was quickly rebuked and requested TO
desist by am elderly gentleman sitting oppo-
site. The first named having resented the
interference, the old officer added, "Well,
sir ! am extremely sorry you resent my
words, simply requesting you TO forbear in
sulting a very dear and precious name which
| honor and love; aud ! can only say that if
you are dead TO all feeling or consideration
Of common courtesy, and will persist in
using the language you have done, you will
compel me to do that which shall be sorry
to be obliged TO do"
Upon this the angry man broke out afresh,
and defied him, when the admiral stopped
the omnibus and got out, the other watching
him, expecting he would call policeman
but seeing him walk quietly away, he re
marked to another passenger about his i'm
pertinence when the person whom he adj
dressed asked if he knew who it was that
had been induced 10 remonstrate with him.

lent man and gallant officer, who was quite
incapable Of any mean act.
What right had he 10 threaten Inc
Did he not say he would do something If

Yes" replied the gentleman, but that
was no idle threat, and he did what he said
he would be obliged to do
And what was that p asked the angry
man.
"Why, get out aud walk, which his age
aud mfrmities would hardly allow him 10
do, for he spends a great part of his income
IN succoring the afflicted aud the destitute,
aud he would not like 10 throw away even a
sixpence"
"You don't mean to say that was what he
meant ?' asked the angry man. What Is
his name 2"
" I am quite positive it was all he meant, -
replied the other "and his name is Admi-
raj llope-a true-hearted Christian man"
The angry man looked puzzled, then
thoughtful, and at last cried out, " God for
give me What fool have been Give
me his address, in case | should miss him

hoped il would make a new man Of him, foT

day Of his life. This anecdote was related
by the gentleman himself, who became a
humble follower Of the Lord Jesus, trusting
only in that blessed name which he had st

Beware.

Some good mothers fly TO the camphor or
peppermint bottle on the slightest provoca-
tion. Camphor is the more dangerous drug,
but both are capable of destroying life. As
generally used in the form of AN alcoholic
tincture, their potency is in no wise dimin-
ished, but rather increased, by the addition
of another poison.
Peppermint oil, from which the essence is
made, is powerful stimulant, and its ca
pacity for harm is by no means inconsidera-
bic. liberation of the stomach has been in-
duced by it, and many diseases have fol-
lowed its habitual use.
Camphor is a poisonous gum-resn, capa-
BILE of readily inducing great nervous irrita-
ton. When taken in small doses it has
much the effect of alcohol or opium. la
large doses it occasions spasms aud death.
In any appreciable amount it irrtates the
mucus membrane of the stomach, and leads
TO constipation and liberation. Even few
doses of this drug may lead 10 incurable
Dyspepsia. Yet thousands of families fly TO
the camphor bottle for relief from every va
riety of pain.
Ii were thousand times better that every
camphor bottle in the land should be broken
rathor than that its contents should be indis-
criminately employed. The potent drug
ought never 10 be administered internally,
except by competent person, familiar with
its power.
1t would be good thing If mothers could
learn 10 depend upon water-cold, tepid or
hot--to relieve very large percentage of all
bodily pain. There is nothing so innocent ;
nothing so efiectual. Copious draughts of
very hot water, aided, II need be, by hot
water enemies, and hot water externally ap-
Piled will speedily relieve nine eases in ten.
Cold water is the most powerful local anes-
thetic known. The pain of sprained limb
is quickly relieved by ice-cold water, The

Like Jesus.

DO We really wish to be like Jesus We
should be Mortified at the answer No" but
can we truly respond Yes Christs
spirit was one of prayer. DO we desire to
spend the whole night in prayerP Christ's
spirit was one of love. DO we wish 10 love
everybody as Jesus loved usY Christ's
spirit was one of generosity. 10 we want
to make such sacrifices as Jesus made when
lie gave up heaven for us Christ came not
TO be ministered unto but to minister Do
we long to have appointed to us life of
hard work for others-to be acquainted with
grief, so that those who neglect and defame
us may have brighter lot, and those who
cast out our name as evil may gain glory
and honor and Immortality 7 Let us beware
of mocking God. We cannot deceive Him
with prayer that is insincere. Sand and
ashes can be fashioned into a sparkling mir
ror, but what furnace heat they must en-
dure l-C Christian AdUoedfe.

NOah's Faith.

There was something wonderful and di-
vine in Noah's faith-I mean his patience.
lie knew that a flood was to come he set
to work in faith TO build his ark, aud that
ark was building for one hundred and twenty
years. One hundred and twenty 1t seems
at first past all belief. For all that time he
built, and all the while the world went on
Just as usual and before he had finished
old men had died and children had grown
into years and great cities had sprung up,
perhaps where there was not cottage be-
fore, and trees which were but yard high
when the ark was begun, had grown into
mighty forest timber and men had multi
piled and spread. And yet Noah built, and
built ON steadfastly. believing what God had
said would surely one day or other come 10
pass. For one hundred and twenty years he
saw the world 20 on as usual, and yet he
never forgot that it was a doomed world.
lie endured the laughter and mockery Of all
his neighbors, and every fresh child who was
born grew up TO laugh at the foolish old man
who had been toiling for hundred years
past on his mad scheme, as they thought it,
And yet Noah never lost faith, and he never
lost love either for all these years, we read,
he preached righteousness TO the very men
who Knocked him. and preached in vain.
One hundred and twenty years he warned
those sinners of Gods wrath, of righteous
ness and judgment TO come, and no man lis
tened To him That believe, must have
been, after all, the hardest of his trials
