In a letter inclosing i birthday present, he w^ote: My son will be just about your age vhen you are about mine, and he will inter the paper when you are about vhere I am. I have got to looking at ,'ou as a sort of prefigurng of what i ny son may be, and of looking over ,'ou and rejoicing in your success, as I ( hull want you to feel toward him.

This time gone unimproved, ife's best hour is passed. This era in j diild-life comes and goes as the clover! blossoms, and then heat, drought and ,vaste. The summer is ended.

Josiah Allen's children have been brought up to think that sin of any kind is just as bad in a man as in a woman ; and any place of amusement that was bad for a woman to go to was bad for a man. Now, when Thomas Jefferson was a little ieiier ne was oe witched to go to circuses, and Josiah said : "Better let him go, Samantha ; it hain't no place for wimmeu or girls, but it won't hurt a boy." Says I : "Josiah Allen, the .Lord made Thomas Jefferson with just as pure a heart as Tirzah Ann, and no bigger ears and eyes ; and it Thomas J. goes to the circus, Tirzah Ann goes too." That stopped that. And then he was bewitched to get with other boys that smoked and chewed tobacco, ami that Josiah was just that easy turned that he would have let him go. with 'em. But, says I: "Josiah Allen, if Thomas Jefferson sjoes with those boys, and gets 1o tihewin' and smokin' tobacco, I shall buy Tirzah Ann a pipe." And that stopped that.

The girl in question was incited by her lover, to whom she had ust become betrothed, to take a drive behind his fast horse. This animal was perfectly docile with his owner, jut not to be depended upon when jther hands manipulated the ribbons. After a spirited trip down the Coney Tsland road the lover informed the lovee that as he had a cold he thought he would stop for a moment and brace jpon a cocktail, if she felt that she had nerve enough to hold the reins. "Certanly," said tlieyoung lady. "I im not in the least timid. Get your cocktail by all means." The thirsty traveler stepped to the curb, carefully covered the quivering beast, ind was soon lost to sight. Tiievoung woman tliu* deserted quietly waited i moment, then deftly drew in the blanket, turned the horse's head, and lit the risk of her hie siarieu iur uoiuc. But any thing was preferalile to the companionship of a man who would leave her at the entrance of a public house while he drank a gin cocktail [it the bar. She arrived safely at the tables, gave the horse into competent hands, and then proceeded to the telegraph office. This was her message: "Horse, carriage and driver safe. A word to the wise is sufficient." Naturally the young man tried to make excuses and plead his cause, but every etl'ort was useless.

"Why, you are not going out, are you?" "Oh, no. I only like to get things ready beforehand; that's all." And this little thing that had been persisted in by Hose until it had become a fixed liabit, saved her more trouble than she herself ever had any idea of; more time too. Ready beforehand -try it.

For those with narrow incomes laying up to about synonymous with going without. One can't have his cake and eat it, too. If one who has $100 a week spend $100 a week, what is there left to put in bank? The great fortunes in this country have been begun on small savings. The fortunemakers went without a great many tnings their fellows indulged in. Not very long ago a young man mnrriea ana set up ins own liome* He had a good Income from his profession, and could live In modest elegance : but the temptation to spend kept growing, and he found that at the end of the year there would be nothing laid aside for a rainy day. 80 he and his wife bad a consultation, and decided that so much should be putin bank every month, and they would live on the remainder. Of course, this meant inexpensive excur- sions on holidays, non-indulgence in high-priced amusements, plain clothes, a plain table, and cheap luxuries. It meant, also that they should find their < friends, so far as possible, not among , those for whom during one twoor three life-times somebody had been laying up. It meant that they should find their greatest happiness in each other, in their home, and in such recreations ' as could be had without any large pecuniary outlay. ui course, it requirea courage to decide upon such a scheme of liviug, and it required persistence to the point of ^ V; nhatinacy to carry out the scheme of 'j. living; but they were sure the position they had taken was sound and sensible and one never to be reviewedA or regretted, aud they held to it steadily. Wise investments of their savings enabled them after a few years to live ' $ in a house of their own :but the scale of living was not increased. The simple habits they had formed were suffi- ' cient for their happiness, and had presererved them in health and vigor ; and they looked forward to declining years without apprehensions of having to work beyond their strength or of ..'.J) ?uiug wiiuuut ueueasary uouiioru*. ?

When one is tired, sick, !K cross, restless, out-of-sorts, he or she ought to sleep alone and not comaaunicate by proximity the maladies that effect him. The brute creatures when sick go away by themselves till they die or get over their troubles, and this inptinct a great many human beings have ; those that have it are best if indulged in it not to the slightest decree of neglect, howeve. Left to themselves, they can compose their internal dissensions, recover their lost equilitn ^ rium, and get back their habitual rate of "vibration wheras, if continually disturbed and "crossed" and interrupted, they are a long timein getting back H to the normal. Where two children in a family must ' share the same room, in a great many cases they would be better off to have two single beds rather than one wide double bed.

If it be true that the "corner-stone ill. il l i-U or me tommonweaLin is me uearmstone," hew important is the work of every woman, even in that sphere of family life which many are tempted to despise as too narrow for their ener- ** gies. Every woman should, indeed, aim at doing good in wider regions of life, and should endeavor by the irresistible force of sweet and silent influence, if in no other way, to raise the whol^ tone of national thought and porwlnpt * "Rut, even if a woman. whether married, or unmarried, be "never heard of half a mile from home," the purity and loftiness of her ideal, the devoted unselfishness of her life, may tell with immense and continuous power upon every member of her family. The bright invisible air produces effects more stupendous when no whisper of a breeze is heard than all the fury of the passing hurricane ; and the influence, conscious and uncouscions, of thousands of women, entirely unknown to fame, may go to the ennoblemeut of the moral being of generations yet unborn.

I have never seen a man, where cruelty to animals was the habit of earl}' yeare. who was other than cruel and tyrannous to all within his power. At the same time, I have never seen children, who were brought up to be kind to domestic animals, who did not continue to be generally kind and considerate to all. I venture the assertion tnai mere wouia oe no surer way of improving society than by systematic efforts to induce the development of kindness to . animals among children. 4 4^ Rules for Using Books.?Never hold a book near the Are. Never drop a book upon the floor. Never turn leaves with the thumb. Never lean or rest upon an open book. Never turn down the corners of leaves. Never touch a book with damp or soiled hands. Always keep your place with a thin book-mark. Always turn leaves with the middle or fore-linger. To continual watchfulness and prayer ought to be added continual employment. For grace flies a vacuum as well as nature, and the devil tills whatever God does not fill. I'm no fool myself; I'm forced to : wink a good deal, for fear of seeing too Jmucu, for a neighborly man must let j himself be cheated a little. I Felix Holt, #1 ' Jk;
