The Mother and Her Children.

/ am sadly conscious that thousands
of mothers are so overburdeDed that
the actual demands of life from day to
day consume all their time and strength.
But " of two evils choose the less"
and which would you call the less, an
Unpublished stove or an untaught boy?
Dirty windows, or a child whose conf
dence you have failed to gain? Cobwebs
in the corner, or son over whose soul
n crust has formed so strong that you
despair of melting it with your hot tears
and your fervent prayers? / have seen
a woman who was absolutely ignorant
of her children's habits of thought, who
never felt that she could spare half
hour to read or talk with them-I have
seen this woman spend ten minutes in
ironing a sheet (there were six in the
washing), one hour in fluting the ruffies
and arranging the puffs of her little
girls sweet white suit -; thirty min
utes in polishing tins that were already
bright and clean; forty minutes for
frosting and decorating cake for tea
because company was expected"
When the mother, a good orthodox
Christian, shall appear before the great
white throne to be judged for "the
deeds done in the body" and to give
in her report of the Masters treasures
placed in her care, there will be ques-
lions and answers like these: "Where
are the boys and girls gave thee ?"
Answer: Lord, l was busy keeping
my house clean and in order, and my
children wandered away!" Where
vert thou while thy sons and daughters
were learning the lessons of dishon-
esty, malice and impurity?" Answer:
Lord, was polishing furniture, ruff
fling dresses, making beautiful rugs"
what hast thou to show for thy life
work 20 Answer: "The tidiest house,
Lord, and the best starching and ironing
done in the neighborhood" Oh, these
children! these children!-the restless,
eager boys and girls, whom we love
more than our lives! Shall we devote
our time and strength to that which
perisheth, while the rich garden of our
child's soul lies neglected, with foul
weeds choking out all worthy and beau
tiful growths Shall we exalt the Incl
dentals of life to the rank of purpose,
to the shutting out of that work whose
results reach beyond the stars ? Fleet
ing, o mother, are the days of child
hood! Speckless windows, snowy linen,
the consciousness that everything about
the house is faultlessly bright and
clean, will be poor comfort in that day
wherein we shall discover that our
poor boys feet have chosen the path
that shall take him out of the way to
all eternity. Observer.

Self.Made Poverty.

/ would not say hard words against
poverty; wherever it comes, it is bitter
to all; but you will mark, as you notice
carefully, that while few are poor
because of unavoidable circumstances,
a very large mass of the poverty of
London is the sheer and clear result of
profuseness, want of forethought, idle
ness, and, worst of all, drunkenness.
All, that drunkenness! that is the mas
ter evil. If drink could be got rid of
we might be sure of conquering the
devil himself. The drunkenness Gre
ated by the internal liquor dens which
plague-spot the whole of this huge city
is appalling. No, did not speak in
haste or let slip hasty word; many of
the drink-houses are nothing less than
internal; in some respects they are
worse, for hell has its uses as divine
protest against sin, but, as for gin
palace, there is nothing to be said in its
favor. The vices of the age cause
three-fourths of the poverty If you
could look at the homes tonight, the
wretched homes where women will
tremble at the sound of their husbands
feet when he comes home, where little
children will crouch down with fear
upon their little heap of straw, because
the human brute who calls himself :" a
man " will come reeling home from the
place where he has been INDUCING
his appetite-if you could look at such
a sight and remember it will be seen
ten thousand times over tonight,
think you would say, " God help us by
all means to save some.n Since the
great axe to lay at the root of this
deadly upas is the gospel of Christ, may
God help us to hold that axe there, and
to work constantly with it till the huge
trunk of the poison tree begins to rock
to and fro, and we get it down, and
London is saved from the Indebtedness
and misery which now drips from every
bough. III. Sturgeon.

Edmund Burke's Idea of a
Perfect Wife.

She is handsome, but it is not beauty
arising from the features, from the
complexion, or from shape. She has
all three in high degree, but it is not
by these that she touches the HEARTH
is all that sweetness of temper, benevo-
lence, innocence and sensibility which
face can express, that forms her
beauty. She has a face that Just
arouses your attention at first. Her
eyes have a mild light, but they awe
when she pleases, they command, like
a good man out of office, not by author
ity but by virtue. Her stature is not
tall; she is not made to be the admira-
ton Of every one, but the happiness of
one. She has the firmness that does
not exclude delicacy-all of the softness
that does not imply weakness. Her
voice is soft, low music, not formed to
rule in public assemblies, but to charm
those who can distinguish a company
from a crowd; it has its advantage, you
must come close to hear it. To de-
scribe her body, describes her mind
one is the transcript of the other Her
understanding is not shown in the
variety of matter it exerts itself upon,
but the goodness of the choice she
makes. Her politeness flows rather
from a natural disposition to oblige
than any rules on that subject, and
therefore never fails to strike those
who understand good breeding, and
those who do not.-Selected.
