Many a parent's heart has been wrung with anguish by hearing of the dangerous illness ot iv beloved son. lie is at a dis tance from the paternal roo/, and circum stances forbid thc Yearning father from hastening to him. Day after day follows -oh, how heavily ! and perhaps no ti dings come to relieve the distressing anxi cly. At Jeogth a letter is received. How tremblingly it is opened! but how his heart leaps with joy if it contains the remedy for his teats-tilt; annunciation Thy son liveth !" There is another sense in which these words may convey tidings of higher import and minister.to a far higher joy. lt fre quently happens that the son goes forth to engage in the 'labors, and meet tl;e temptations, and suiter the sorrows ni life, with no interest in Christ, no hope of an unfading inheritance above. Some times God linds him among strangers, and brings conviction home to his soul. The sense of danger and of guilt, the earnest inquiry tor thu means of deliver ance, the struggles, the tears, the prayers which precede his entrance to r. new life, are ail experienced among strangers. The news comes to thc anxious father, "Thy son liveth." Ile is no longer' dead in trespasses and sins; he is no longer at variance with God ; he has no longer be-, fore him thc prospect of an undone eter nity. Christian father! have you a son away from your immediate influence, and is he a stranger to God? Has he gone forth into the world without th?% ble?s?ng of God? Is he the enemy of God? ls he condemned already and is al! his prosper ity owing to the forbearance of that God whose clemency he is abusing every day? How great must be your desire to hear not merely of his success in business, but that he liveth unto righteousness und eternal life! How constant and fervent must be your prayers for his conversion ! Is it not so? Arc not your chief anx ieties respecting his spiritual health and spiritual prosperity ? Do you not believe that souls aro converted in answer to prayer ? And does not every considera tion of affection, as well as of duty, urge you to pray? If you do not pray for your own son, can you expect others to pi ay for him ? Sometimes the parent is conscious that Iiis own prayers are lacking in fervency and earnestness. He feels that such prayers will not prevail ; but he comforts himself that other and better men are praying for his son-that thc church is praying for him. It may be so. lt may be that some man of God cares more -for the soul of the young man than his father does. It is doubtless true that the church, tbjit is, the praying members of the church, are offering their supplications for the salvation ol' men. But may not the parents hinder those prayers ? Wc read of prayers being hindered. What is more likely to hinder the prayers offered for the conversion of ti son than the neg lect of the weightiest responsibilities hy the Christian parent ? Baxter says, that if parents were faith ful to their children, there would be few unconverted adults to preach to. If there were c church in every house-if every parent were a devout, consistent and grow ing Christian-how different would be the prospects of the rising generation ! The chilling reserve cn the subject of re ligion would be banished. Parental ex ample would not nullify the effect of pa rental admonition. The ministry of the sanctuary would be aided by the ministry at home. Families would be ^hat they were designed to be, nurseries for beaven; A Good Story. Judge Ray, the temperance lecturer, in one of his efforts here, got off the fol lowing : " All of those who in youth acquire a habit of drinking whiskey, at forty yeans of age will be total abstainers or drunk ards. No one can use whiskey for years in moderation. If there is a person in the audience before me whose experience disputes this, let him make it known. I will account for it, or acknowledge that I am mistaken. "Atajllarge man arose, and folding his arms in a dignified manner across his breast said : "I offer myself as one whose experi ence contradicts your statement." "Are you a moderate drinker?" said thc Judge. "lam." "How long have you drank inmod eration ?" "Forty years." " And were never intoxicated ?" " Never." " Well," remarked the Judge, scanning his subject closely, yours is a singular case; yeti think it is easily accounted for. 1 am reminded by it of a HttJe story : A colored man, with a loaf of bread and a botde of whiskey, sat down to dine by the bank of a clear stream. In breaking the bread some of the crumbs dropped into the water. These were eagerly seized and eaten by l he fish. The circumstance suggested tu the darkey thc idea of dipping the bread into thc whis key and feed it to them. Ile tried it. lt worked well. Some of thc fish atc it, became drunk, and floated helpless on the surface. lu this way he easily caught a great number. But in the. stream was a large fish unjike the rest, lt partook freely of the bread and whiskey, but with no perceptible effect. It was shy of eveiy effort to take it. He resolved to have it : at all hazards, that he might learn its 1 name and nature* He procured a net,* and after much effort, caught it, carried it to a colored neighbor and asked h?3 opinion in the matter. Ti:e other survey ed the wonder a moment, and theo said: "Sambo, I understand dis case. Dat fish is a mullet head ; it aiiCt got any bruins." In other wordsj added the Judge, alcohol affects only the brain, and, of course those having none may drink without in jury! '.The storm of laughter which followed drove the moderate drinker suddenly from the house." Husbands ana Wives. We would like to have every-man, married and single, says one of our ex changes, read the following, and profit by it. As it contains sound'and wholesome advice, and many telling truths, we will give our readers an opportunity to pe ruse it. ro THE MEN*. 4 The transformation worked in a lover after marriage has long been a pet subject with satirists. Before the nuptial knot is lied, the. suitor is nil devotion. No busi ness engagement is permitted to infringe on the evenings consecrated to ??sj?anee. If she drops her fan, misplaces a glove, ur needs help in putting on her shawl, he .is instantly nt her side, the most patient, the most delicate of servants. She has only to express a wish to go ro church, or to visit some pl.-lee of amusement, and j lo! he waits upon her even before break fast, though it rains us if a deluge had came. Bat when the in-ecovera"blc vows are said and the honey-moon comfortably over, a change too often comes over the obsequious cavill ter. The latent selfish ness of the " male animal," begins to de velop itself. The wife has to pick up her own fan, search for her own gloves, shawl herself unassisted, go to church .alone, ?jet to concerts when she can. Some times thc poor creature is happy to win even a civil answer from her rudo", dog matic lord. Men who wouid be civil to even a strange servant, if a woman, think it quite natural to be impolite lo their .wi vos. Yet lhere is nothing by which even a selfish mau can more easily benefit him self than by being respectful, well bred ami considerate to her he has sworn to .' love and- cherish." Sooner or later an imperious or exacting husband makes an indifferent or careless wife. Talk of lo^e as you may, eulogize the forbearance of woman till the language rr* praise is ex hausted, and stiil the fact remains that as our sex has not a monopoly of human [ nature, feminine flesh and blood feels in justice filially quite as acutely as ourselves. As thc truest happiness which a well reg ulated mind enjoys is in the family rela tion, so there can bc no true domestic felicity where there is injustice on one ?side and its consequent alienation O:? thc other. It may be said that if a husband love ? his wile sincerely there is no necessity for these little acts of politeness. They arc trifles we arc told. But life is made up of trifles. Did ihe lover despise them once because they were trifles ? Was not something of his earlier sueec-s at tributable to the assiduity and delicacy with which he plied his gratified mistress with these trifles ? Has his wife ceased to like such attentions? Will she. ihink the less of her husband because he shows how thoughtful he is of her comfort, even in these trifles? Believe us, if a woman's affections are retained undiminished, in spite of the rudeness of her husband to wards her, it would be vastly increased if he exhibited a little of the lover's cour tesy-if he was considerate of her in trifles. It seems the strangest and most incomprehensible thing in the world, if we look at it dispassionately, that selfish men think thr. only persons they can neg lect with impunity are those^ on whom their happiness principally depends. They are too stupidly blind, to use one of their own pet phrases, to see that politeness to wives " pays.". For it is only of selfish husbands-that we speak. Those who re spect, love and reverence woman as true womanhood ought to be respected, loved, and venerated, need no incentives to bc courteous and considerate to their own wives. So much for the men. And now let us add sor? FOR THE WOMEN. Much of the neglect which husbands evince, towards their wives, is caused by the wives themselves. There are many women who, previous to marriage, take pride in personal appearance, cleanliness, and neatness of apparel : and who, after marriage, become negligent of their charms, grow indolent in their parlors, and slip shod in tht.-ir kitchen. No woman can expect to retain the affections of her husband after she hts ceased to make herself attractive and agreeable-when she neglects her personal appearance and apparel-rises yawning from her bed in the morning, goes to the breakfast table unwashed, and with uncombed locks-has not the ambition to see the house kept- in order, becomes indifferent whether her husband is at home or not, and "neglects all those little, but beautiful, arts which she used in courtship to win him. Her love must be calm and sublime-her de votion calm and serene. If his income be limited, her desires above the necessa ry-home comforts of. lifo, should be in proportion. If he be wealthy, let her be rather charitable than showy. When his spirit is vexed with outside cares, she should soothe him. Ff slander touches him, she should defend him. If in a petu lant humor he uses a harsh word, she should not reply with "bitterness. Many a man, who would otherwise make an ex cellent husband, is driven from his home, and becomes neglectful of his family, solely because his wife is indifferent of himself and his interest-has tro word of cheer for him at any time Wives make yourselves agreeable and lovely to your husbands. Work*! "'~ There can be no doubt of tho fact that in earnest, energetic effort lies the true secret of success. Our people talk a great deal of the scarcity of labor, the necessity of labor, and the importance of procuring it from other quarters of the globe. All sorts of ?migration projects are proposed, and from the poor means of the impoverished people of the South, vast sums have been voted to invite emi grants from abroad to come in and share with us the peculiar advantages of our position. Our legislative Solons appear to entert lin so poor tm opinion of Ihe in dustrial powers of our own brave South ern men that they place on them no reli ance whatever. Foreigners can work, and their services ns laborers are highly prized, but to put our own shoulders to the wheel and becoine our own "hewers of wood and drawers of water" is regard ed by many among us as utterly prepos terous. Now we opine that public opin ion oil this matter should be. reformed, and wie sooner the better. Our people must learp to depend upon themselves; they cannot all be masters, and make a living on th? labor of others. Franklin used to tell us that " Ho that by tho plow would thrivo Himself mast either hold or drive.-" in this couplet there is mach more truth than poetry. B/servite labor our planters used to jct on in a hap-bazard (hshion ; tut they were at the constant mercy of overseers and creditors, and as soon as failure came they were utterly helpless. The truly independent man is the one who can help hiinsolf^whose .hands, like those of Pauline font-maker, cati minister to his own necessities. Nor should there be such an efi'ort among the needy of our people to obtain easy occu pations. Hard work carries with it no degradation. Labor is indeed one of ?he truest of humanitarians-one of the most effective of civilizers-it gives that inde pendence without which' no man can be thoroughly -free. Young men by thou sands are .flecking from the country, where their services are needed as tillers of the soilr and in our cities arc wasting their substance and their chances of ulti mate independence as thoroughly as did i he prodigal son who wandered away from home and was al length reduced to thc sad ' necessity of'.partaking of the fond which wits meted out to swine. The free, healthy life of ajo agriculturist is des pised, because slaves once tilled the fields, and the'siavery of the yardstick is accept ed in its stead as a boon for which the measurer of tape must thank his gener ous employer! Such puerility is un worthy of any person who is possessed of n sound mind in a sound body. Let us hike advantage of our own position, and instead of coaxing other people to come and work for us, go to work for ourselves. If this be not done, nota single generation will pass away before the estates of our land-holders- will pass into other hands. Those who are now afraid to put their hands to the plow will become the helpless mendicants of the future. Ile wjto will not help himself deserves help from no one else.-N. 0. Times. . Not at Church for. Eleven Years. '"I havn't been to church for eleven years !" So wc accidentally heard a young man say to his companion, as we passed him in the street last Sabbath. The mellow chimes of the church bells were floating out on the clear, cool air and a throng of people, were lwrrying to the house of God. Age with its silvered locks and trembling limbs ;. manhood, in ibs .strhng anoVsturdy-prime ; youth, with sunny brow and smiling lip ; and child hood, willi bright eye ami buoyant, were all wending their way to "the place where prayer is wont to be made." That was a pleasant sight, but the groups of idlers gathered here and there; "the ragged, bare-foot, filthy little children 'at play on the pavements, and the coarse jest and boisterous, laughter, which occa sionally greeted our ears, sent a regretful thrill through our whole frame. But nothing pained us more than this remark of the stranger-" 1 haven't been'to church 'for eleven years !" Startling confession ! It haunts us. What kept him from the sanctuary ! Was it some disease, which so enfeebled him, that he could not obey the call of duty? No; it could not have been that, for he was hale and vigorous. We have no doubt that it M-as his own will, combined with evil influences. Poor fellow ! We pity him. We think of him, moving on in, his Iife-journcy, unsoothed, untaught by the blessed ministrations of the house of God. We think of thc darkness that must have gathered about him ; of the hundreds of misimprov?d Sabbaths, for which ho must one day give au account, and from the depths of our heart goes up the earnest prayer, God pity him ! Hoto he has spent the Sabbath for that long period, we cannot tell, but the All Seeing knows, and the record is written in Heaven. Ile spoke carelessly, boastingly, as if proud of his indifference, but it may be that there are hours, when in the silent watches of the night, he lies restless and wakeful, reflecting on golden moments wasted, and priceless opportunities, gone io return no more. Perhaps, memories of brighter, better days crowd back upon him-memories of a time when he was "an innocent, enre-free boy;" and he sees himself kneeling beside his mother at eventide, or sitting with her in the old country church, listening in childish won der to the touching prayer, solemn ser mon, and hymns, sung by the village choir. Ile forgets for a moment that he has wandered so far astray from the fold of the Good Shepherd, and that she has Iongr ested under the shadow of the tomb stone ; he seems to hear her blessing once more, and watch the approving smile, which breaks liku sunshine over her fair, meek face. Then the- vision fades; he awakes from dreams of the past to the reality of the present; a sense of his guilt weU-nigh overpowers him and he asks with a shudder-" What would she say, if she !:T:?W'I had despised her coun sel, and for these btig years, had never been among the hallowed influences of the sanctuary V God pity him, we repeat: God pity all who have thus sinned, for this is by no means a solitary instance. Alas! we have reason to fear that there arc many, many in our land, who have not been to church for more than eleven years. They are divided into several classes. Some are avowed Sabbath-breakers, having neither the fear of God or man before their eye?. They assemble in the gambling hall, and try to drown the sweetly solemn chant, that comes floating to them from a neighboring church, in .loud laughter,;-Bacchanalian songs, and horrid oaths. Tjiey stand in knots around the doors of stables and dram-shops, pol luting the air with their brandy-scented breath and rude talk, and marring the serenity of the Sabbath by every means in their power. This is one class ; there ??another quite as large. They would not like to be called Sabbath-breakers,. but they are, to all intents and purposes. They work hard during the week ; Sun day is set apart for a day of rest, and therefore ought to be enjoyed. Thus'they reas?n and being too weary to go to church, they take a sail down th? harbor, and now and then draw in a few fish ; or ride out with a friend to look ata new piece of land they have bought, or idle away the hours over a trashy novel. There is yet another class, hiore nu merous than either of these-a class of peopje, who couldn't think of going to church if it were the feast bit stormy, and who have a headache so often as to suggest the idea of " Sunday sickness.*' 0 ! there are thousands that, thus slight the privileges of the Sabbath; but we sincerely hope none of our readers wilt swell the number, or ever make the mel ancholy boast-" I haven't been to church for eleven years !"-Olive Branch." OCT An anonymous writer says :-" On making a call, the other day. at the house of an American missionary in Jerusalem, I saw a little boy, in the Turkish costume, setting on a sofa. My first thought w.-is, " What an enormous' turban the boy has on !" and my second, " How very" small he is !" Judge of my surprise when I found he waa a hus band,"being little atore than tea years old;, and his wife not nine.'
