Unborn Virtues.

THE Rev Dr. G. B. Wilcox, in The Advanced
Some men are naturally lovable. All
there is in them that is good they get
from their birth. 1t has cost them
nothing and it will never grOU. There
is no development in that sort of virtue.
And it will be well if old age and dis
ease and shattered nerves do not, by
and by, fret it out of them and leave
them surly and mOrose. But here is
man of another sort. There is nothing
to fascinate you in him, but much to
stir very different feeling. He is
cross and sour. He makes sharp speech
es against his neighbors. He is narrow
in his notions. He vexes you and tries
your patience. But there is good in
him nevertheless. He is like root
just dug from the ground. 1t is a
crooked, scraggy root. 1t soils your
hands as you touch it, and a foul smell
is on it from the mire. But it is a
grape root The germ of all richness
and luscious fruitfulness is in it Plant
it. Train the shoot from it. Spread
out its growing, generous branches,
gather your children under it, and feast
your eyes and your lips on the purple
clusters it will yet swing over you
This crusty churl, as he seems to be,
has a germ in him of something else
than yet appears. God has implanted
it. And it grows, slowly but steadily
And, as the root has a power to take
hold, through its buds and leaves, OF
the best elements in nature-On the all
and sun and rains, and all the sweet in.
fluences of the skies-sO this divine
life in a soul takes hold on God himself
and, through him, will rise into new
beauty of all the virtues forever!

A GOOD WIFE.-In the eighty fourth
year of his age, DR.. Calvin Chaplin
wrote of his wife: My domestic enjoy

lection as the human condition permits.
She made my home the pleasantest
spot to me on earth. And now that
she is gone my worldly loss is perfect"
How many poor fellow would be
saved from suicide, from the peni-
Tertiary and the gallows every year,
had he been blessed with such a wife
"She made my home the pleasantest

tribute to that woman's love, and piety

A Quaker Temperance Lecture.

A few years ago several persons were
crossing the Allegheny Mountains in a
stage-coach. Among them was an hon
est, earnest, sturdy Quaker. AS con-
siderable time was on their hands they
naturally entered into conversation,
which took the direction of Temperance,
and soon became quite animated. One
of the company did not join with the
rest. He was large, portly man, well
dressed, and of gentlemanly bearing.
There were sharp thrusts at the liquor
business and those in it. Indeed, the
whole subject was thoroughly canvass
ed and handled without gloves. Mean
while this gentleman slowed himself
away in one corner and maintained a
stocial silence. After enduring it as
long as he could, with a pompous and
magisterial manner he broke silence and
said Gentlemen, l want you to I'M
derstand that l am liquor seller. 1

would have you to know that have a
license, and keep decent house. |
don't keep lOafers and loungers about
my place, and when a man has enough
he can't get no more at my bar. l sell
to decent people and do respectable
business" When he had delivered
himself he seemed to feel he had put a
quietus on the subject, and that no an
swer could be given. Not so thought
the Quaker said he: "Friend, that il
the most damning part of the business
If thee would only sell to drunkards anG
loafers, thee would help to kill eff the
race, and society would be rid of them
But thee takes the young, the pure, the
innocent, and makes drunkards and
loafers of them; and when their char.
acter and money are gone thee kick
them out and turns them over to othe
shops to be finished off; and then the
ensnares others and sends them on tn
same road to ruin"
