THE OLD CLOCK.
O, the old, old clock, of the household stock,
Was the brightest thing ami neatest;
Its hands, though old, luid a touch of gold,
And its chimes rang still the sweetest.
'Twas n monitor,-too, though its words were few,
Vet they lived, though nations altered :
And its voice, still strong, warned old and young.
When the voice of friendship faltered.
"Tick, tick," it said?"quick, quick to bed,
For ten I've given warnig;
Up, up, and go, or elso, you know,
You'll never rise soon in the morning."
A friendly voico was that old, old clock,
As it stood in the corner smiling,
And blessed the lime with a uicrry chime,
The Winter hours beguiling;
llut a cross old voice was that tiresome clock,
As it called at the daybreak boldly.
When the dawn looked gray on the misty wuy,
And the caily air blew coldly;
"Tick, tick," it said?"quick out of bed.
For five I've given warning ;
You'll never have health, you'll never get wealth,
Unless you're up soon in the morning."
Still hourly the clock goes round aud round,
V it It a tone that ceases never ;
While tears nre shed for bright days lied,
And tlie old friends lost forever;
lis heart heats on, though hearts arc gono
That warmer heat and younger ;
lis hunii^ Mlill innvff lliniifrli limwla u*o lnvn
Are chisptd oa earth no longer !
. "Tick. tick," it said?to the churchyard*bed,
'rite grave hath given warning ;
Up, up?iuul rise, and lank to the skies,
And prepare tor the heavenly morning.

QIRL8 CONFIDE IK TOUR MOTHER.
The moment a girl lias a secret from her
mother, or has received a letter she dare
not let her mother read, cr has a friend of
whom her mother docs not N&v, she is in
danger. A secret is not a good thing for
a girl to have. The fewi r seoftts that lie
in the hearts of women at any ago, tho 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 arc married, never, never, conceal any
thing from your husband. Never allow
yourself to write a letter that he may not
know all about, or receive one that you are
not quite willing that he should read.?
Have no mysteries whatever. Tell those
who are about you where you go and what
you do. Those who have the right to
know, I mean, of course.

scandal afloat; and much as is said about
women who tell too much, they arc much
better off than the women who tcdl too little.
A man may bo reticent aud lie uudcr
no suspicion ; uot so a woman.
Tho girl who frankly says to her mother.
"I have been here. 1 mot so and so. Such
and such remarks were made, and this or
that was done," will be curtain of receiving
good advice and sympathy. If all was
right, no fault will be found.. If tho mother
knows, out of her great experience,
that something was improper or unsuitable,
she will, if she is a good mother, kindly
advise against its repetition.
It is when mothers discover that their
girls are hiding things from them that they
rebuke 01* scold. Jnnoccut faults are always
pardoned by a kind parent.
You may not know, girls, just what is
wrong yet. You can't he blamed for mak(
^ ing little mistakes, but you will never do
anything very wrong if from tho first you
have 110 secret from your mother.? Western

Til K Lotto's I'it ay Kit.?Did you ever
think, short enough though it may he, how
much there is in it? Oh ! it is beautiful.?
Aud like a diamond in the crown of a queen,
it unites a thousand gcuis in one.
It teaches all of us, every one of us, to
love God as our parent?"Our Father."
It teaches us to raise our thoughts and
our desires above the earth?"Who art in
Heaven."
It tells us we must reverence our Heavenly
Father?"Hallowed bo Thy name."
It breathes the saint's reward?"Thv
Kingdom come."
And a submissive and obedient spirit?
"Thy will be done 011 csirtli as it is in
lleaven."
And a dependent, trusting spirit?' Give
us ibis day our daily bread."
And a forgiving spirit?"Forgive us our
tresspasses as we forgive tboso who tresspass
against us."
And a cautious spirit?"Lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil."
And lust of all an adoring spirit?"For
thine is the kingdom, and the power and
the glory foruver. Amen."

About a Wpxl-Wbittkn Inscription.
?"Whatever pleasure I have felt during
l.iy 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 if a human voice came
from the stone, and making itself heard
through the lapse of ages, addressed man
in the midst of a desert, aud told him that
he was alone; that other men, on that very
spot, had felt and thought, and suffered like,
himself. If the inscription belong to an
ancient nation, which uo longer exists it
leads the soul through infinite space, mid
inspires the feeling of its immortality, by
showing that a thought has survived the
ruins of an empire."?Paul and Virginia.
To Cook Beefsteak.?Slit the outside
or fat part, say every four inches, cutting
through to the lean, which prevents contraction
and increases its tenderness. Have a
bright fire and gridiron hot before putting it
on ; turn over to prevent burning. A steak
an inchand a half thick will he cooked iu
from seven to ten minutes. To fry, prepare in
the samo way. put a little butter on pan or
griddle and let it get brown beforo putting
on the meat; cook quickly, and whether
broiled, fried, roasted or baked in the oven,
il you want juicy, tender beof. never salt it
before it is rooked. Beefsteak should be
served the minute it is cooked, otherwise
it loses its flavor 1
EDUCATING CIULDBENThe
mind of a child is a plastic mould,
sensitive to the slightest impression. The
unwritten lessons of homo aud homo influ
ouce have far moro effect in shaping charactor,
than the drill and study of the schoolroom.
What father doos, what mother says,
is full license in tho minds of the young to
do and say likewise. No school can properly
train a child whoso home associa'ious
arc positively bad. Healthful children aro
full of life, buoyancy, steam. Don't depress
the youthful mind ; don't discourage
tho boy who thinks he can roll a snow ball,
gathering size at every revolution, until it
shall be us large as a hogshead. Lot him
try his powers and learu his weakness.?
Ilis failure will set him to thinkiug, reasoning,
knowing. The little fellow's education
is well advanced when he has commenced
to think, reasou and argue for himself.
Parents aro too chary of their confidence.
The natural iustiuct of u.ost children is to
do'right. They need cncouragcmcut and
explanation, rather than rebuke aud faultfinding.
Their little steam engines need
regulators rather than collisions; they need
to keep the track more than they need
smash-ups. The instinct of industry is
natural to children : if vmi fin/1 Am.
, -- yw- ?.VU V MUX* WU.ploymcut
lor their activity, it develops itsell'
into pencil-drawing oti paint and walls,
or destruction of cane-scat chairs. The
perpetual motion of hands and feet and
tongue, so wondeiful to the adult mind,
may become a Niagara of power when balanced
and controlled.
The impulse of curiosity throbs in the
little fellow's brain ; he is full of new discoveries
and searching inquiries. If you
dou't give attention to his little questions,
and satisfy his mental cravings at home, ho
seeks the servant, the hostler, the corner
loafer, and from them gains his first rudiments
of morals, his first knowledge of
facts, and his first lessons in living and
thinking.
Mothers, did the thought ever occur to
you that your indifference to their many
questions would drive your little ones to
questionable sources of information, to
impure fountains of inspiration, to low standards
of manhood and womanhood ? Did
you ever reflect that the little mind and
heart that yearns for your care and love,
that is so susceptible to your shaping and
moulding in its youthful days, will soon
pass on into the cold world without, beyond
your reach, beyond the gentle hand, the
loving heart that would fain obliterate some
ugly feature in the once beautiful image,
whose lines have now grown too cold, too
hard, too sordid, ever again to be warmed
and moulded and fashioned hv a mother's
love or lather's hope ??ExvJittmjfi.

of no man's mistakes. He is ashamed oi

or lie open before him in unregarded
exposure, are secret to hi in. lie profanes

and respect. In short, whatever he judges

He is not always dressed in broadcloth ?
'Some people,' says a distinguished bishop,
'think a gentleman means a man of independent
fortune?a man who fares sumptuously
every day ; a man who need not
labor for his daily bread. None of these
makes a gentleman?not ons of them?nor
all of them together. I have knowu men
of the roughest exterior who had boon used
all their lives to follow the plow and to look
at'tcr horses, as thorough geutlcmcn iu heart
as any nobleman who ever wore a dueal coronet.
I mean, 1 have kuown them as unselfish,
1 have known them-as truthful, L
have known them as sympathizing ; and all
these qualities go to make what 1 understand
by the term 'a gentleman.' "
