Everything has its own center, round
which it moves; 30 that our true wisdom
lies in in our keeping in our own walk in
life, however humble or obscure, and
being satisfied if we can succeed in it,
The best Of us can do no more, and we
shall only become ridiculous or unhappy

cause we are at a loss in things to which
we have no pretensions, and try to REM
edy our mistakes by committing greater

in truth often at the bottom of weak

restricting it within due and moderate

The Three WIsa Women.

Three lac Old women were they, were they,
Who went on A walk on winter day
One carried basket 10 hold some berries;
One carried a ladder, to climb for cherries
The third and she was the v sest one,
Carried fan to keep of the sun
80 dear, dearp' said one "A bear see
think we'd better all climb trtem
But there wasn't q tree for miles around.
They were too frightened to stay on the ground.
So they climbed their ladder up to the top
And sat there screaming, Wen dRp we'll
drop"
But the wind was strong as wind could be,
And blew their ladder Iisht out 10 sea
Soon the three wise women were all anoat
la a lfaky ladder, instead Of boat
And every time the waves rolled in
OF course the poor things we're wet to the skin.
Then they took their basket the water 10 BALL
The! put up their fan, to make a sail
But what became Of the wise women thin
whether they ever got home again,
whether they saw any bears or no
You must find out, for don't know.

ON Choosing Newspapers.

The Christian Inteligencer says: care
fathers and mothers and heads OF families
1uStitiabIe in taking those papers which are
daily filled with matter which is only tit for
a police gazette or dime novel OF the worst
class? Is that the stuff on which to feed
young boys and girls? Is that the pabulum
for the young ladies OF the household? Is
il surprising that any who have such vile
and wicked trash presented to them should
themselves catch the contagion OF eprosy ?
The conductors OF newspapers say that
the people demand what they supply.
The truth is that the papers have
made and stimulated and are increasing
the demand, and that the people whom they
arc corrup.ing will rot in the impurity in
which they live. The remedies are in both
directions. The papers and the people must
reform. 1t matters little at which end the
reformation begins. But il the decent and
religious people OF the country will stop
taking and reading these papers which Of
fend, and will patrcnize only those which
are decent, the neediul change will soon be
wrought. a purified and decided public
opinion will compel managers and editors
OF papers which circulate among the better
classes to respect the moralities of life and
the laws OF behavior in the homes OF the
land" '3 s
