Act From Principle

How few persons there are whose lives
are governed entirely from principle rather
than INCLINATION. Even those of US who
may have been endeavoring to live for high
purposes, come far short of their aspirations;
alas! how very far short. How often we
find our convictions of right and duty ques-
tioning if it might not be as well for US to
yield to inclination, just for the the time,
promising our disturbed consciences that
we will make up for the present indulgence
by more vigorous self-denial and strict at
tention to duty. Vain, fallacious reasoning
of a weak nature We can never make up
for one neglected opportunity, one mis-
spent hour, one wrong, selfish act. Once
passed, the opportunity unimproved, the
hour wasted, the act committed, it is be-
yond our reach to recall, except in thoughts
of regret. We may atone for it, but we can
never change the past. Alas how pain full
ly we are aware of this fact Then should
we all endeavor the more earnestly to make
our lives embodiments of principle; for we
all know that, after all, the path of duty,
though sometimes rugged, is not without
sweet pleasure; and let US never follow our
inclinations, if they wauld lead US away
from right. Then shall we be permitted at
the last to look back upon our lives with
satisfaction, feeling that we have done wha
we regards US with approval.

The Kind of Religion we Want.

We want religion that softens the steps,
and tunes the voice to melody, and fills
the eyes with sunshine, and checks the i'm
patient exclamation and harsh rebuke; a
religion that is polite and defferential to
superiors courteous to infeHiors, and consid
crate to friends, religion that goes into
the family and keeps the husband from
being cross when dinner is late, and keeps
the wife from fretting when the husband
tracks the newly washed floor with his
muddy boots, AMI makes the husband
mindful of the scraper and the door mat;
keeps the mother patient when the baby is
Cross, and amuses the children as we'll as
instructs them; cares for the servants be-
sides paying them promptly, projects the
honeymoon into harvest moon, and
makes the happy home like the eastern
fg-tree, bearing in its bosom at once the
beauty of the tender blossom and the glo-
~ of the ripened fruit. We want relig-
ion that shall interpose between the ruts
and gullies and rocks Of the highway of
life and the sensitive souls that are travel
Ing over them.
