TUB OLD CLOCKO, (he eld, old clock, of (ho household stook, Was the brightest thing and neatest; f Its hands, (hough old, had n touch of gold, ( And its chimes rang still the sweetest. 'Twasa monitor,-too, though its words were few, ' Vet they lived, though nations altered : t And its voice, still strong, warned old and young, i When (he voice of friendship faltered. j "Tick, tick," it said?"quick, quick to bed, ( For ten I'vo given warnig; Wp. up, and go, or else, you know, ' You'll never riso soon in the morning." J A friendly voico waa that old, old clock, As it stood in the corner smiling, And blessed the lime with a merry chime, ' The Winter hours beguiling ; J Dm a cross old voice was that tiresome clock, ? As it called at the daybreak boldly, l When the dawn looked gray on the misty way, And lite caily air blew coldly ; "Tick, tick," it said?"quick nut of bed, For live I've given warning; I You'll never have health, vou'II never-'el wealth, i Unloss you're up soon in tlie morning." Still hourly the clock goes round and round, V ith u tone that ceases never ; Wliiie tears nrc shed for bright days lied, And the old friends lost forever; It" heart heals on. though hearts tire gone That warmer heat an I younger ; Its hands still move, though hands we love Are clashed 01 earth no longer ! " . "Tie)*, tick," it said?to the churchyard*bed, 'i lie grave hath giveu warning ; l ]>, upland rise, and lank to the skies, And prepare for the heavenly morning. * GIRLS CONFIDE IN TOUR MOTHER. Tho titotm;tit a girl It.is :t secret from Iter mother. or lias received a letter she dare not let her mother read, cr has a friend of whom her mother does not kfrow, she is in danger. A secret is not a good thing for a giri to have. The fewi r seeftts that lie in the hearts of women at any age, the better. It is almost a test of purity. She who has none of her own is best and happiest. In girlhood hide nothing from your mother; do nothing that, if discovered by your father, would make you blush. When you are married, never, never, conceal any thing from your husband. Never allow yourself to write a letter that be may not know all about, or receive one that you are in t <|itite willing that he should read.? Have no mysteries whatever. loll those who are al>ont you where you go ami what you do. Those who have the right to know, I mean, of course. A little secret iveness has set many a scandal afloat; and much as is said ahout Women who tell too much, they are much better olT than the women who tell too little. A man may be reticent and lie under no suspicion ; not so a woman. The girl who frankly says to her mother. ul have been here. I met so and so. Such i and such remarks were made, and this or that was done," will he curtain of receiving 1 good advice and sympathy. If all was! right. no fault will he found.

A IJiM T \ W'FI.L-WUJTTKN I NSrttll'TIO.N ? -Whatever pleasure 1 have felt during ' toy travels, at the sight of a statue or a monument of antiquity. I have felt still more in reading a well-written inscription. It seems to me as it .a human voice came Irotn the stone, and making itself heard through the lapse of ages, addressed man in the midst of a desert, and told him that he was alone; that other men. on that very spot, had felt and thought, and suffered like himself. It' the inscription belong to an ancient nation, which no longer exists if leads the ,-oul through infinite space, and ; <1. . r 1 ...- r . o. . . ii. ivi iiii^ ui us 11c1111<>iia111y, ny | showing (hut ; thought has survived the ru'nj; of an empire"?I'mtf <ni<!

The unwritten lessons of home and home intlu illco have far more effect in shaping character, than the drill and study of the school room. What father docs, what mother says, is full license in the minds of the young to Jo and say likewise. No school can prop irly train u child whoso homo associations ire positively bad. Healthful children arc lull of life, buoyancy, steam. Don't depress the youthful mind ; don't discourage lie boy who thinks he can roll a snow hall gathering size at every revolution, until it iliull be as large as a hogshead. Dot him :ry his powers and learn his weakness.? His failure will set him to thinking, reasoning, knowing. The little fellow's education is well advanced when he has commenced Lo think, reason and argue for himself. 1'arents are too chary of their confidence The natural instinct of most children is t( do'right. Tli jy nee 1 encouragement and explanation, rather than rebuke and fault finding. Their little steam engines ncci regulators rather than collisions ; they neei t<i keep the track more than they ncet stuash-ups. The instinct of industry i; natural to children ; if you don't find cm ployment lor their activity, it develops it self into pencil-drawing oil pdint and walls or destruction of cane-scat chairs. Tin perpetual motion of hands and feet am tongue, so wondoilid to the adult mind may become a Niagara of power when bal uueed and controlled. The impulse of curiosity throbs in tin little fellow's brain ; he is lull of new <1 is coverics and searching in<juiries. If yoi don't give attention to his little questions and satisfy his mental cravings at home, In seeks the servant, the hostler, the cornc loafer, and from them gains his first noli incuts of morals, his first knowledge o facts, and his first lessons iu living am thinking.
