Revenge is the only debt which it is
wrong to pay.
1t is very nice to be handsome but il is
great deal handsomer to be nice.
Men, ike the fire. is apt to torment
women by going out at night
A step taken for mother is pearl
dropped into your future diadem.
When we are dead the veil of charity
is thrown over our faults, aud only our
virtues are remembered Would TO God
that the world would be so merciful
while yet we live.
Strict attention to business. self culture,
and an eye to the future, are the key
notes TO success in life, and it behooves
every young man if he wants TO get on
TO bear this in mind
There is a kind of fondness that
ruins children as surely as there is a
fondness that blesses them There is
some times more real sweetness in
gentle repreSsve rebuke than in the
warmest praise, oftentimeS more love in
a reward. We help our children most
when we help them TO take an honest
view of themselves, and this we can
never do by hattering their too easily
flatered self conceit."
One of the greatest mistakes made by
the young men at the present day is not
looking to the future. So long as the
present is pretty comfortable they let
the future take care of itself
He that observeth the wind shall not
SOW, and he that regardeth the clouds
shall not reap " Though chilly winds
PREVAIL and dark clouds hang over the
way and unpropitious seems tine weather,
vet our duty, and our work is now before
us, and we hesitate to perform it until
the time that we deem more auspicious,
our labor then may go for naught, and
i'll rain we may strive for the harvest,
but the vel" Sow in the morning thy
seed and blight the grain not yet ma
tured and our reaping will be the re
gres for lost opportunities that we did
not grasp, because they appeared to us
to be premature, and we were led to cry
time enough yet" Sow in the morning
thy seed, and it will be ready for the
bright sunshine soon to come, and the
harvest great will be thy reward for thy
labor will not have been in vain"

WHY DO THk CHILDREN LOVE YOU?
| AS we look at some families where the
children Just seem to worship their par
ents. and again we see others where the
children seem to think more of every
body else than they do of their parents,
and we pause and exclaim "why is it?'
Parents do YOU wish for your children to
love and respect you? If YOU do, when
your child comes to you for advice be
sure to give good advice; don't say,
"Oh, go way, don't bother me, go ask
YOUR mother or some such answer
Or if they come to their mother perhaps
she says go to your father, am busy :"
The child Will soon get afraid to ask
advice for fear of being rebuked, and it
will be apt to seek advice some where
else If you take an interest in your
children then they will take an interest
in you. We have seen little children
while running at play, or perhaps on an
errand for their parents, get fall and
bump on the head or skin finger and
when they would go to their parents for
kind word OF comfort they would say:
Well the next time look where YOU are
| going and don't be so awkward; go long
now, and hush" That child will GER
tainly find out sooner or later that its
| parents have no love or sympathy for it.,
| and it will grow up without any kind
feelings towards that parent But on
the other hand let the child come to the
| parents for its advice, and if kind words
| are spoken the child will never forget
il. and it will also look with respect on
that parent. If the little child gets a
bump or fall, or a cut or a skinned
finger, mother will say Come here to
me, little one, and let her pet you,' and
she will kiss the bumped head and
wrap up the cut finger with few kind
words Then the child knows that you
| love it, and it will love you and respect
you, and when the years have passed
and gone and they have grown to man
hood and womanhood they will look
back to their childhood days as the hap
| pest days of their lives.
A word of comfort kindly spoken,
| Will many moment cheer
A word of scorn to a heart that's broken,
Will cause grief for many year.

Hard thought it be to love those who
/ hate you, it is harder still to hate those
who love you.
HOME INFLUENCES.
We laugh at the manly ways Of our
boys, and make merry over their at
tempts TO copy our own actions, but
when we reflect that with the manners
of childhood, they have lost its innocence,
our laughter will al once yield to bitter
tears. The precocious dissipation and
vice of our youth is frequent theme Of
our pastors and moralists, and is one
worthy of all of their efforts. There is
something more required, however, than
the sermon and the lecture this some
thing more is the influence of homes and
