Punctuality.

Punctuallty.
One of the many forms of selfishnesl
is want of punctuality, the root of al
evil. If your father is man wht
counts much upon the pleasures o
having ell his family with him at hi:
meals, you may, by your dilatoriness
quite spoil them for him. any proof ol
q child's Indifference being poor ap
petizer. Nor is it merely with the en-
joyment of his meal, that you may in
terfere, but with its digestion; since
the most material functions of ouI
material bodies are greatly assisted. OF
greatly hindered, by moral agencies.
The unpunctual man is apt to think
that the greatest evil he occasions, by
his special intirmity, is temporary in
convenience or disappointment. Blu,
this is not 30. If one of his delays
should disturb only the arrangements
for one day of single person, he may
congratulate himself. Order is heavens
first law, and the second regula,
routine, is like unto it. If the earth
and the moon were to loiter in their
course. and accomplish their revolu.
tions at uncertain times, and in uncer.
tain periods. everything here would he
out of Joint. And 80 is everything out
of joint that is in tho sphere of duty
and occupation of the procrss.inator.
If the duties that belong to one hour
be deferred to another, they seem sub
jected to process that merges ono in
another, until all are reduced to q
single vanishing point. and leave no
record behind them. What bitter dis
appointment, and what serious annoy
ance and loss, may como from letter,
little too late for the mail-a bill paid
after the promised time--an appoint.
ment not kept-a commission deferred
Note for yourselves. aud think on these
things.
Punctuality is essential to. another
virtue-reliebleness. Do all that You
promise to do, and oil that you are
rightfully required and expected to do,
as certainly, so far as it depends upon
yourself, as the sun rises and sets. so
that the hearts of all with whom you
are in any way connected may l." safely
trust" in you. Then you will become
"pillars of support in the family and
in society, instead of broken reeds.
The comfort and satisfaction of deal
ing with the truly reliable is immense,
as, OF course, also is the misery of all
intercourse with the unreliable. Go
when you say you will go; come when
you say you will come; do this and
that when you will do it, even if it be
q little thing, without being deferred
by any but insuperable obstacles.
