in the familiar text as given on Sunday

Train up child in the way be or she

women loved more. for verify believe IL
they did they would keep healthy, young

But the cares and trials CT life are deep
and wearing, and we women are so crowd

nnobling our lives in any direction. In
fret, we are too tired to even love, unless
it is our babies, whose little lives cling so
close to our own that they are part of it /;
and the songs and kisses they call out of
us tend to tighten the daily task. so that
the back bends under its burden instead OF
breaking.
The loving and happy wife and mother
is the handsome and healthy one, usually.
As old age overtakes her, she still keeps
the love light in her eye. for 1t has become
habitual TO her. and the world is her fam

THE OLD CROWS LAMENT" :"

THE OLD CROWS LAMENT"
An old crow sat. one winters morn,
High up on q sapless limb;
There was no refuge from the storm
That worried and pelted him.
Ills eye was dim with unbldden tears,
And chattored his beak with ciid;
Ills plumaIe was torn by the wear OF years.
His talons were weak and old.
In low sad notes he made his plaint
To the bowling Of the blast:
He scarce was hsard-his voice was faint
BY the rude winds whirling past
They lifted his plumage tothe sleet,
And shrieked with demoniac glee,
Pressed him to leave his checrless seat
oh, wretched and sad was he
81 merit" said he, a better fate
I've kept the creed Of my kind:
Have ever provoked the farmers hate,
And strewn his hopes to the winds:
al pluck his corn that springs from earth;
gather the wheat he soWs;
Have pestered him from my very birth
Apd that's the religion Of crows."

An INDIAN LEGEND.--The following
story. selected from an eastern teacher,
may be applicable in all climes and by all
people:
There was once beautiful damsel up
on whom one of the good genii wished 10
bcstow blessing. He led her to the edge
OF large field Of corn, where he said to
her:
Daughter, in the field before us, the
ears of corn, in the hands of those who
pluck them in faith, shall have talismanic
virtues, and the virtue shsll be in proper
ten to the size and beauty Of the ear
gathered. Thou shalt pass through the
field. and pluck ono ear. 1t must be taken
rs thou goest forward, and thou shalt not
stop in thy path nor shalt thou retracc a
single step in quest of thine object. &c.
lect m car full and fair, and according to
Its size and beauty shall be its value to thee
asa taisman."
The maiden thanked the good gonius,and
then set forward upon her quest. As she ad.
vanced she saw many ears of corn, large,
ripy and beautiful, such as calm Judgment
might have told her would possess virtue
enough; but in her eagernoss to grasp the
+ very pest sue lGlL IuGSc lulE Calo uCuiuuiuOP-
ing that she might find one still fairer. AT
length as the day was closing, she reached
part OF the field where the stocks were
shorter and thinner, and the ears very thin
and shriveled. She now regretted the grand
ears she had left behind. and disdained to
pick from the Door show around her, for
hero she found not an car which bore
perfect grain. She went on, but alas only
to find the stalks more and more feeble
and blighted, until as the end of the day
was closing, and the night coming on, she
found herself at the end of the field with
out having plucked an ear of any kind.
No need that the genius should rebnke
her for her folly. She saw it clearly when
too late. as how many in all olimes and in
all ages, in the evening Of life call sadly
and regretfully to mind the thousand gold
ed opportunities forever lost because they
were not pluoked In their season."

AN ANGELS ToUCH.-1he San Francisco
Itcus Letter tells this touching incident:
One evening not long ago, 4 girl of nine
or ten entered place in which is bak-
cry, grocery and saloon in one, and asked
for five cents worth of tea.
"How's your mother?n asked the boy
who came forward to wait on her.
Awful sick, and aint had anything to
eat all day"
Iho boy was Just then called TO wait
upan some men who entered the saloon.
an,; tIis girl sat down. In five minutes
sh. VAS nodding, and in seven she was
soHn1 asleep and leaning her head against
barrel, while she held the poor nickel in
IL tight grasp between her thumb and
finger. One of the men saw her as he
came from the bar, and after asking who
she was, said:
"Say, you dfunkarlS, see here. Here
we've been pouring down whiskey when
this poor child and her mother want bread
Here's two dollar bill that aays I've got
some feeling left,
And l can add dollar" observed an.
other.
And I'll give another
They made up purse of an even five
dollars. and the spokesman carefully put
the bill between two of the sleeper's fin
geis,drew the nickel away, and whispered
to his comrades
Just look a there-the gals dream
ing"
So she was. A big tear had rolled out
from her closed eyelid, but her face was
covered with q smile. The men tip-toed
out, and the clerk walked over and touched
the sleeping child. She awoke with n
laugh, and cried out:
"What beautiful dream Ma WASH t
sick any more, and we had lots to eat and
to wear. and my hand burns yet where an
angel touched it!"
When she discovered that her nickle
hnd been replaced by bill, a dollar of
which loaded her down with all she could
carry, she innocently said
We'll, now, but ma won't hardly be-
lieve that you sent up to heaven and got
an angel to come down and clerk in your
srorery."
