Good Reading.

A taste for good reading has long been
observed as one of the most effectual
safeguards to young men against vice and
crime. In the first place, 1t serves to
give employment In those hours of leisure
and freedom from work which would be
likely otherwise to be worse than wasted.
To the young man who has no taste for
reading, the evening hours become loaded
with temptation. 1t is tiresome to sit
moping by the stove, and he naturally
drifts to the street or the card table.
There he finds others like himself, with
vacant hours to while away and thus
grow up those habits and associations
which soon eventuate in dissipation or
lead to crime. We doubt if one in
stance in a thousand can be found of a
young mans making shipwreck Of hopes
and character who was accustomed to
spend his evening at home reading good
books; and we say to any parent that a
well stocked library and an abundant
supply Of newspapers and magazines,
with the habit Of reading on the part Of
your boy, IS worth more to keep him out
of mischief, and to make man out of
him, than any other single influence at
your command.

Recipe for Happiness.

Go out under the bright, glad sky;
listen to the songs of the happy birds, the
shout of the dancing brooks; see how the
sunlight glorifies hill and meadowland
and comes shimmerlng down through un-
counted forest leaves, these mellow,
golden summer days. Turn your faces
from the thronged towns and cities, for
get little while busy care, and let your
soul thrill and glow under the wondrous
touch of divine harmony that fills all ma.
ture. The glad earth seems ever calling
to an enjoyment of the all-true and the all
beautiful. Morning after morning we
know the rills clap their hands for Joy,
away off in the greenwood, and the hearts
of the tiny birds thrill and thrill, again
and again, because they are glad. And
we have SO much more to make US happy
than they have-so many hopes and loves
that bird-hearts never know. How can
we go up and down the highways with
sad countenane when the whole earth
seems so happy 1t seems like ingrati-
tude to God to do so. And our smiles and
pleasant faces will bring such sunlight to
other faces!

Rich Without Money.

Many a man is rich without money
Thousands of them with nothing in their
pockets, and thousands without even a
pocket, are rich. A man born with a
good sound constitution, good stomach,
a good heart and good limbs and pretty
good head-piece, is rich. Good bones are
better than gold, tough muscles than
silver, and nerves that flash fire and
carry energy to every function, are better
than houses and land. 1t is better than
landed estate to have had the right kind
of father and mother. Good breeds and
bad breeds exist among men as really as
among cattle and horses. Education may
do much to check evil tendencies, or to
develop good ones, but it is good thing
to inherit the right proportion of faculties
to start with. That man is rich who has a
flaver of wit and fun in his composition.
The hardest thing to get along with in
this life is mans own self. A cross,
selfish fellow. a desponding and COM
planning fellow, timid, care-burdened
man, these are all born deformed on the
inside. Their feet may not limp, but
their thoughts do. A man of fortune on
the brink of the grave would gladly part
with every dollar to obtain a longer lease
of life

That Sweet Song.

The secret longing of nearly all who
are wanderers or whose abiding place is
temporarily among strangers. is expressed
in the words of that sweet song "Write
me letter from home." The one thing
that the heart needs is word from those
around the old hearthstone. Especially is
this so in the care of young men. No
boy goes out from the home circle without
sense of loss. For time, at least, the
motherly presence is sadly missed, the
sisterIy affection warmly cherished. Then
ifthe mothers letters reach him often,
filled with all that a mother most clo-
quently expresses, love, hopefulness and
prayer, he is still surrounded by a holy
influence.
If the sister writes frequently, manifest
ing her pure affection in such ways as her
heart naturally prompts, he can hardly
run into sin. And If home epistles come
seldom, what then? The loss in the
young mans life must be made up. He
finds his leisure hours dull and they must
be enlivened. There is no call for long,
heart-fuii letters in return for similar ones.
The evenings he might give to penning
these, he spends in amusements Of doubt
full character. Wanting the tenderness Of
mothers love, it is not strange if he falls
victim to wiles. So he forsakes his
better self and takes to his bosom pleas
ures that sting him to death. And ere
long he becomes thing for the mother
and sister to weep over, and his promising
young life fades out in darkness. A sad
picture this of course. But it is only a
sad picture of even sadder realities.
There are hundreds of young men in every
great city, in the very lowest depths Of
degradation, whom the home influence,
carefully and prayerfulIy extended though
tender, affectionate, womanly letters,
might have saved. There are hundreds
of others, just taking their first lessons in
vice, who may be be brought back to
purity by loving words from mothers,

Swift Destruction.

We have sat upon the sea shore and
waited for its gradual approaches, and
have seen its dancing waves and white
surf, and admired that He who measured
it with His hand had given it life and
motion; and we fingered till its gentle
waters grew into mighty pillows, and had
well-nigh swept US from our firm footing.
So we have seen some of the needless
youth of our town gazing with curious
spirit upon sweet motions and gentle ap-
proaches of inviting pleasures and sins,
till they have detained their eyes and inn
prisoned their feet and they have been
swept to destruction.

Truth of Science.

If you will look into the early life of
truly helpful men, those who make life
easier or nobler to those who come after
them, you will almost invariably find that
they lived purely in the days of their
youth. In early life the brain, though
abounding in vigor, is sensitive and very
susceptible to injury, and this to such a
degree, that brief moderate indulgence
in vicious pleasures appears to lower the
tone and impair both the delicacy and ef-
fciency of the brain for life. This is not
preaching, boys, it is simply the truth of
