THE COURSE OF LIFE.

Our life glides not with equal pace
From infancy to later years,
But flies more swiftly in the race
As nearer the bright goal appears.
The days of youth are shallow streams,
That softly flow through rush and sedge
And purposeless as idle dreams
They loiter by the grassy edge.
The strength of manhoods glowing noon
That opens wide the fairest flowers,
And promises richer boon,
Gives feetness to the winged hours.
To growing age years seem a day;
The seasons CLEAN with rapid flight;
And life so quickly fits away,
1t envies not the speed of light.
'Tis ever thus. The gladdest day
Flies faster than the saddest time;
And age, that moves in wisdom's way,
Darts quickest to the realm sublime.
Fly swifter, swifter, latest years,
Mature in virtue, truth, and love;
Set free from sorrow, doubt, and fears,
Oh! speed US to the home above
-Epher Vhitdker, ID. ID.

FREED.

Thank God! a spirit in prison
Has burst its bars to-day,
A winged soul arisen
From it's chrysalis of clay.
The former things have vanished,
The peace of God has come;
He hath recalled his banished
To rest and joy at home.
For weary days Of anguish,
For nights Of lonely pain,
When faith and courage languish,
And life is sad and vain;
For the silence and the sorrow
In the depth of midnight's hour,
For the waking on the morrow
To grief's renewing power,
Now comes the day of heaven,
Immortal in its glow;
Redeemed, set free, forgiven,
Past every pain and woe.
High on the hills Of glory,
Forever young and strong,
She tells her raptured story,
And sings the sweet new song.
With all the loved and living,
To us the lost and dead;
The crown of His own giving,
Set on her patient head.
OH dear and faithful weepers.
If she could come once more,
From mid those tranquil sleepers,
To tread on stormy shore,
Would you call back her spirit,
BY prayer or loves strong spell,
It's old life to inherit,
In chains once more to dwell?
The true hearts answer 'tNeveri"
Through all their streaming tears;
For love is love forever,
And life thing of years.

DON'T PUSH THE CHILD.

There is no more important part in
the work of wise training, than the
holding back good and bright
child from over study and from over
interest in study. The better and
brighter the child, the greater the
danger in this direction. And the
more the parents of a child value
knowledge, and delight in intellectual
attainments and progress, the larger
their liability to err in over stimula-
ting that child in the pursuit of
knowledge. There are, doubtless,
children who need strong pressure
to make them study at all but the
parents of such children are least
Likely to exert that pressure, and such
children are themselves least likely
to be affected by the pressure.
When parents are pleased and proud
that their children are at the head of
their classes, that they have high
''marks," and that they win prizes
at school, then there is danger to the
children. The children of such par
ents commonly need holding back
rather than pushing ahead in their
studies. 1t requires some courage,
it is true, and some self denial also,
for parent to see his neIghbor's
children going ahead of his child,
winning praise and honors that a
little pressure on his child might
secure to that child; but not to eXer-
else that courage and that self denial
is often wrong to the child, and is
likely to prove cause of bitter re-
gret by and by. This is real prac-
teal evil. one that is most prevalent
in the better class of families, and
that is operative chiefly against the
more deserving class of children 1t
is pre-eminently an error in America,
where almost everything runs to
high pressure; yet it is not unknown
elsewhere. Prof. Huxley has said
pungently: "The educational abomi-
nation of desolation of the present
day is the stimulation of the people
to work at high pressure by incess-
ant competitive examinations. Some
wise man (who probably was not an
early riser) has said of early risers
in general, that they are conceited
all the forenoon and stupid all the
afternoon. Now whether this is true
of early risers in the common ac-
ceptation of the word or not. / will
not pretend to say; but it is too oft
en- true of the unhappy children who
are forced to rise too early in their
classes. They are coneeited all the
forenoon of life, and stupid all its
afternoon. The vigor and freshness
which should have been stored up for
the purposes of the hard struggle
for practical life. have been wasted
out of them by precocious mental
debauchery, by book gluttony and
lesson bibbing.' Bright children
need curbing rather than squirting IN
the school race. Many parent
looks well to the duty of stimulating
his child in study. Parents do not,
so commonly as they should, consid-
er the duty of holding their children
back from high standing and sue
cessful effort in school competitions.
