PARENTS. . To Parents. Parents can never know nor fully appreciate, in this world, the power and influence of their example on their ’ children. It becomes all pa- reuts to ponder well and pray much over their duties to their children. The following is suited to excite reflection in the paternal bosom: The intrinsic mine of every child invests the parental relation with surpassing interest. Immortality Ls the birthright of every child; and it is a birthright of which he can never be defrauded. Man can make him a cripple; a lunatic; a slave; a cor]wo; but, in his nobler nature, he can never make him mortal. It is in the power of hnmnn selfishness to inflict sickness, and poverty, and madness, and servitude, and death; but anni hilation is beyond its reach. The glories of creation, which have given us so mneh delight and rapture, we weep to think that they must all pass-away. Yonder tree lias stood in the forest since the days of the flood, and drank its nourishment from the dust of a thousand genera tions; but the hand of death is on it, and the next blast will bring it to the earth. And those stars too, which, “scattered like flowers through the bine fields of heaven,” have bloomed and gladdened us so long, must fade, and droop, aud fall. And that great king of day, who has looked down so lorig npon onr sorrows and joys— l«is eyes most grow dim, his hour must come, death si.nil cast a pull over hia burnished throne. Bnt the noul—when shall it die, when Shall it be carried to tlie tombf After ages . liave passed away, countless as tlie leaves of the forest, countless as the sands on the shores of eternity, that hoy will still be alive, and will either be a seraph or a fiend, a glorified saint or a damned spirit. My soul is overwhelmed within me, when I think of the height of glory or the depth of shame to which each child in every family is destined. Take a child from a hovel and put him on a throne, and how greatly you have exalted him! how- wonderful tlie change! You can only stand still ami lift your hands in dumb aston ishment. And yet, what have you done for himT Will he weep less than other nient Will he suffer less ! Will he live longer than other men ? Crowns can keep away neither sorrow, nor pain, nor death —those may have th«?in who want them. Bnt that boy—Oh! that boy shall be a priest and prince where tears, apt! groans, and knells are not known. The crown which he shall wear will be an eternal diadem.— That boy may be a king—ah! he may be a fiend! His career may end in heaven—alas! it may end in hell! Instead of a crown, he may pillow his naked head on the rocks of perdition. And, father, mother, uincli of the responsibility of this alternative is cast on yon. Y'ou may settle the question: “What manner of child this shall be f” Yonr faithful ness or unfaithfulness may make him a peer of angels or a companion of devils. God give yon grace to appreciate yonr responsibilities, and be faithful to your trust.—Mother’s Magazine. YOUTH. Seeking a Situation. In these “times which try men's souls,” Uow many are there in our fair Southern land, which were raised in affluence, who are now earnestly seeking situations, where they may, by honest industry, obtain the moans of supporting lift. Even in ordinary times riches, often very unexpectedly, “take to themselves wings uud fly away,” how much more iu these days of revolution. Sadly true it is that there Is little Wealth now left in the “Sunny South” to “fly away.” It is very important then that all mtr beloved youths should endeavor to fit themselves for some ixmition in which they may gain an honest and respectable living; not only for themselves, but, if need be, for oth ers. Tlie heart of many a promising youth in onr land, beats high with the purpose of being, ere long, the stay and support of a widowed mo ther and helpless little brothers and sisters. Aud nutuy a refined and gentle maiden is even now toiling for the same noble eml. Now, iu order to secure a gin si situation, it is necessary for a young man to produce, from those who know him, testimonials of his pre vious good character, and of his |hw sensing such attainments as are req uisite for the desired ]K»st. Bnt how are these recommendations to Ik* procured ! “I)r- , will yon recommend me t" The gentleman addressed was at the head of an iiii]M»rtunt educa tional institution. The speaker was a recent graduate of the same, who, not being in many of the ITnfideut’s classes, hail not come mneh under his personal observation. Before re plying, the doctor o]>ew*d a book, which lay on the table before him, and turned to the pages on which were marked the grades of the class to which the young man , belonged. Finding then* the evidence that his record, for both eoudiiet and scholar ship, was high throughout his entire course, he turned to the applicant and replied. With emphasis : “JVs, J trill,"—and immediately wrote him a strong puper. Two other graduates stood by, who looked as if they too would like to be n*e- ouuuended ; but they did not venture to ask it—and why T Because they kuew that their record would not bear inspection; and, as tliey had, while at school and college, sowed the seeds of idleness aud neglect to duty, so now they must reap tin* fruit—no capital to start iu life ; for a good character is the best capital a young man can have. We heard the gentleman alluded to s]H*aking of the n*s|M>nsibility he felt in having such cases to deal with. He said he did not feel, as many do, that it was a fa ror he was bestowing npon n yotuig man, when he gave him such a paper, lie held thut* if a youth hail attended faithfully to his duties us a student, and hud made a fair record, he had a right to the certificate of his character, upon starting out iu lift. On the other hand, faithfulness to truth, and to employers, imbued him to lie scrupit lously careful to recommend only according to merit. Bo well was this known, that a strong recommenda tion from Dr. was almost cer tain to secure the fortunate possessor the desired situation. Now, beys ami girls, what we wish to impress ujsjii you, is that yon an* now writing your diameters for future life. As you go to m*1ioo1 your teachers are, day by day. taking notes (whether they do it with jien and ink, or only in their own minds, makes little difference) ft your con duct, your studiousnesa^iwtr relia bility. We do not wisli any of our young readers to have to take up, a few years hence, the lamentation so often heard—“I did not appreciate iny privileges when I was at school, and did not improve my time ns I onght to have done; and now it is too late to remedy the evil.” As you move about among yonr ncqttain tanees, the eyes of men of iiitclligem-c and influence are upon yon, and they too, when yon least think of it, an* “taking notes." This is especially true of yonr pastor, and your teach ers. Even among .voting yourplay-inatoK, yon are niak i n g vonr record. 1 u a few years they will be the men and women of the land. Many of them will rise to jMisitions of influence, where it may lie in their power to serve yon. It may then be an im portant matter to you to have in their memories the record of the diligent, faithful, earnest student; the kind, pleasant and reliable friend, the honourable, npright, and courte ous playmate. Said a gentleman, who was enquir ing for a suitable person to fill a position in his employ : “I want one who is reliable. I want to feel that when I order a thing to be done,- it will be attended to without my having to think any more about it. I don’t want a clerk that will have to be looked after to see that he attends to hifiS duty. Now, there is H.; I can rely ujsjn him. He has been with me a year, and I have never caught him in a blunder yet.” Such a character as that is above price to a young man. This is what every employer wants above every thing else—reliability; in other words, faithfulness in the discharge of every duty, however irksome; and this, to be genuine, must bt founded on Christian principle. Young readers «lo yon uot wish to gain such a character t Thou begin, while you are young, to be faithful in little things; for our Saviour tells us that he thut is faithful in that which is least, is fuithftil also in much ; and he that is unjust iu the least, is also unjust in much; a truth which we daily see illustrated.—Ex change. CHILDHKN. Taught by the Bee*. l.ittle Lottie Millwood was suit! to haw* a “good heart.” I will tell you how she earned that reputation.— She, like n vast number of jssiple, Imd two sets of manners. One wet sin* employed when from home, the other she used when In her own family ciivle. She has a very bright fat-**, much grace, a pleasant manner and flue natural abilities. These features favorably impressed all strangers anil won her many frit-mis. If she was invited nut to h|m*ii,1 an afternoon or eve, she niudc every effort to gain the love of those shout her. Indeed, her eunuitig hud too mueli of hypocrisy—one of the most hateful of sins. She would insist on willing the dishes, nursing the Imliy, ironing, sewing |mteli work or enrjs*t rugs—in fine her fit of industry prompted her to do anything she could perform. Kcmcmlier all this was for “other folks,” and tliese “other folks” said that she was lovely, charming, gotsl, industrious or that she was a “good girl." Now, my little renders, let us take it view of 1 sit tie Millwood as she up|M*nrvd at home, ller |Nireuts were ill moderate eirmiiistanees uud could not ufford to'liin- a servant. Her mother hud spinal disease ami daily suffered from great deliilit.t. What ditl (pttie dot Dili sin* show a very strong desire to render service to tfuit kind amt sickly mother t Not she! Tlu* coal hod might stand empty all day for ull site rared. \*oti never found her offering to go into the tellur for rual. (Hi! tsi— ••mother will do that if I don't.” Tlie net of that tmithcr almost erased her with |uiiii. Du you say Lottie was “gotsl hearted f* I ilo not. How sltout tin* dish waslirtfg at home? This undutifVd child would manage to give her unit her the sli|t. Hhe would pi into the field or lam* to play, uud the labor was is-rfornietl by out* who should have Urn in Iter lied. There was a little laibv in this house, but Lottie seldom Hunted it although she wns eleven years okl. l’uor Mrs. Millwood might rout- plain ami even weep, but Isittte was like stoue. If she rocked the cradle, it was tltine with an ill until red kick that gave her mother sorrow. Do you say site wns “pitst heart ed r I do not. If slit* was, w hy didn't she show it when it was most needed: Then* wen* many waya Lottie could have relieved her moth er, lint her idea wits to let her imnnita wait on her. “Good hearted P I any away with such a heart! No child Inis u good heart w ho does not try to tin those simple acts of duty. Y'ou may ask why her parentis did nut whip her. Indeed sis- often deserved it, bnt the mother hud not the strength of body to cope with her stout daughter. Then she, like many parents, was so easy that she preferred what she called “pence” to any family trouble. Tlie futln r, at work nil day, saw hut little of his child, and that little Uittie mnnnp-d to have of a lietterunalitv. I know the girl mn a good face in tlie pietnre, bat really I must say she was lmd. That is just what she was—bad. (hie <lay her ppor mother thought she would do something to enn* her of her laziness nnd indifference.. An idea stmek her. “My child,” said she, “I wnnt you to go into the yanl nnd stand by the beehive. But use caution and do not approach too near, or the bees will sting yon.” “Why do yon wisMMne to do that r said she. “Isittie," replied her mother, “yon oblige me by doing us I request, and I will explain my motive after yon retnm. Now observe whnt I ask. Stand near the hive, anil for some mtnntea, watch the bees. After you have done so, (mine and tell me what you thnnght and then ! will give my reason for the request.” Lottie complies). While on her way to that hive, yon see in the picture, mid she to herself, “I wonder what mother means! I never heard of such an otld wish. However, I will look for some min utes. There is one thing certain- while looking, I will not be* work ing.” The hive was approached by Lot tie with a basket on her arm. For a long time she seemed absorbed by the steady labor of the industrious, little honey makers. She saw there was no idleness in their residence After a While an idea struck this way ward girl. “I have it now!” she exeluimed. “I have it uow! 1 clearly sec why- mot her wanted me to watch the bees.” Theu site thought and thought again, ller conscience w u» beginning to iustruct her. .After u jionse she left, say lug, “I will now pi to mother aad see what she meant.” “Well, mother, I watched tin* lies**.” “What did you see, my dear T” “I saw them at w-ork making honey.” “You saw them at what f cried the parent, anxious to impress her lesson. “I saw them at trork making hooey." “Tell uie, Lottie, did they try to shun their work! Did uny seem to lie luzjj f” “Not one!” replied the girl. “Theu, my child, tlie bees ” “Mother, dear motlu-r,” cried site, throwing her arms ulsiut tlie uerk ! of her iinn-nt, “I see it all. 1 know , shut you will say. Yon will tell uie that the lives an* more industrious than 1. I have learned a lesson uud I tliuuk yon for it.

Tlie first thousuud dollars that a young man, after going isit into the world to act for liimarlf, earns and •ares, will generally settle the quee tion of bmuucas life with him. Then- may Is* exception* to this statement, yet for a rule wr think that it will liold true. The first condition is that the .vising uiun actually earns tlie, thou sand dollar* iu question, lie does not inherit this sum. It does ms issue to him by a streak of past luck, as the remit of a fortunate venture in tin* puivli4.w aud sab* of a hundred dm res m stock. It is the fruit of I* rson" industry, lie gives bis time ami hi* hdmr fur it. While hr is thus earning ami sating it, he must rani two or three, or |wrha|i* four time* as much, to |u\ Ins cur rent ex|M>nar*. He is ruuarquenlly held sternly t« the task of industry Air a very rnii«iih*r*Wi- |s*rind. The direct rutisrqocner to him is a steady, eisitinmnw, and solid discipline in | the habits of industry, in |sstieut, per sistellt, forecasting uitd self denying efforts, breaking up all the tendencies to indolence and frivolity, and mak iug him a w atchful economist of time. He not only learn* how to work, lKit lie also acquire!-- tin* love of work ; and nun cover, be learns the value of the sum which In* has thru saves! out of liis earnings. He has toiled for it; lie lias iiliamesl its slow iurresuw* from linn- to time; anil in his esti mate it nqm-aent* so many months or years of |irartical labor, ills ideas of life ore shaped, by his own experi ence. These natural effect* of earning the first tlMKiaund dollars we hold to la- very large iM-nefit*. They at4 just the qualities of mind and lusty which an* most likely to secure business ' success la after yefirs. They consti tnte tlu* I test practical education which a man can have as a worker iu this warring world. They an* gained in smijkui for lift’s purism*, at the o]ieniug i**ri<*l. Just when they are wunted, when foolish notions an* most likely to mislead an inexpe rienced liniin, nnd when, too, then* is a Ail! op|*irtnnity for their expansion und development in later years. Men have bnt one lift .to live, and hence they start from opening manhood but once. And (be manner in which they start, the pnr|Mmrs they have hi view, and the habits they form, will volun tarily determine the entire aeqnel of i their rnrecr on earth. To succeed, men most hare the elements of anc cess to themselves. (hie great reason why tlierc an* an many useless, ineffi- 1 eient and poverty- stricken men on earth—or, rather, boys seeming to j be men—K-onnist* ill the simple fact they- did not tOprt right. A promi nent remain why tlie children of the rich so frequently amount to nothing i may be found in the luxury, ease, and indolence which marked the com meneeuient of their lives.
