PARENTS.
The Child that wm Lent to the Lord.
tt* *dWa*d a, tAWtsace, t>.».
Samuel was the son of Elkanali
and Hannah. He was a child of
many prayers and tears before bis
birth and after. “For this child,”
says the mother, “I have prayed,
and the Lord hath given me my pe
tition which 1 asked of him. There
fore, also, 1 have lent hint to the
Lord: as long as he livctli, be shull
be lent to the Lord.”
By lending him to the Lord, she
ujeant consecrating, or giving him
to liis service. For she had said,
“If thou wilt give unto thy hand
maid a mau child, I will give him
hnto the Lord all the days of his
life.” Iu accordance with the cov
coant, she brought him very early
to Eli, that be might be trained
for the temple service. How beau-
tiful is this maternal carefulness,
this so early devoteiucnt of her
child! And how worthy the im
itation of every Christian parent!
To whom shall we lend our children,
but to Him who lends them to us,
nud who calls for them alien he
pleases. * -
Eli had become old, and his sons,
the young priests, because not duly
restrained, made themselves vile.
The word of the Lord was precious
in those days, and there was no o|ien
vision. There were few to speak
that word, and still fewer that re
garded it The prophetic spirit was
withheld from those sons of Belial,
for the sacred service and sacrifices
Were dishonored by them in the eyes
of all the people.
It was one of those dark periods
through which the Church of God
has frequently been called to pass
in Its history. But for this period
some providential preparation had
been made. A child of prayer and
of faith had lx-on lent to the Lord.
Ho had been iu the process of reli
giou-s training in the temple by good
old Eli. And the Lord was with
him, and in that signal night to the
young prophet, commissioned him as
a messenger to his venerable tutor.
A burden of heavy woes it was to
the house of Eli, yet be told it all,
and hid nothing.
.r And all Israel from Han to Beer
sheba knew that Samuel was 8
prophet of the Lord. He was the
lust end most eminent of all the
judges of Israel. He wrote the book
of Jodges, the book of Ruth, and
nearly all of the book of Samuel.
Loved and revered by the people,
lie was also in favor with heaven.
The desfinatiod of Samuel was
fixed by the faith, and prayers of
his mother, as the character and
fate of almost all children are, for
evil or for good, by their mothers.
In his elevation to the work of the
priesthood and judgeship, he liad no
voice, until he was of snffieient,age
to approve of his destination,, to
thank his motlier for her eonsecra
ting act, and his Maker for its ac
ceptance. His training was almost
entirely iu the temple, began in his
earliest childhood, watched over by
his consecrating mother, and cootin
ucd during the large part of the
ninety years of his eventful life.
For all purposes of permanent
influence, no period is like childhood
and youth. And a man’s youth, for
moral improvement, lasts tie whole
of his allotted life time on earth
Some young people grow old too
fast for their highest advantage
They think they have finished their
education while yet in their teens.
Ami some mothers foolishly grant
, practical admission to the idea. But
education ia never finished so long
as opportunity continues, however
early it may commence. The whole
of this short life may be called the
period o£«youfch for purposes of im
provement. It is the period that
determines the weal or woe that
comes after it And of this brief
probation the first half is generally
decisive of all that follows.
The shape of the tree is that
which it took when a twig.
The child is father to the man,”
simply because the man is formed
tu childhood. Old age is generally
the ripe fruit of which childhood am!
youth are the seed-time find period
of blossoms. So if youth to wasted,
to the purposes of tflental' amt
inoral culture, old age will be cheer
less and barren, or It will be rank
with all the weeds and wastes of
moral evil.
Lord Shaftesbury stated hi a re
cent public meeting in London that
he had ascertained from personal
observation that of the adult male
criminals in that large dty, nearly
all had fallen in a Course of crime
between the ages of eight ami sis
teen; and that if n young man lived
an honest life up to twenty years,
there were forty nine chances in favor
and wily one against him as to an
honorable life afterwards.
And what is true in 1/omloo to
equally true iu New York, in Boston,
and to all our cities and towns. The
character of our children in a grefit
degree is fixed before they are six
teen. No policy to more ronnter to
sound reason, or more perilous, than
that which leavss the minds of chil
dren unprejudiced, as it to cnlled,
by religions teaching till they are of
an age to choose for them selves. It
overlooks the Ihct of a powerful
native bint to evil, which early ope
rates to prejudice those thus negiert-
ed against nil that is true and pure
and good.
“That to ray botauieal garden,”
said Coleridge to a frieud who had
maintained tlie correct nos* of such a
policy, pointing to a plot of ground
whh-h was all overgrown with weed*,
thistles, ami various noxious plants.
“That to’ my botanical garden.”
“Yonr botanical garden!■
“Yen. You see I have left it un

or flowers, and when it has come to

YOUTH.
A Valuable Hint.
The youug men of oar country
will find in the biography of the late
Gen. John E. Wool many acts wor
thy of imitation, but none store so
than hto economical habit, and bis
determination through life to secure
pecuniary independence for hto de
clining years. At the time of tin-
war of 1812, General Wool was
taken home to lie treated for terrible
wounds received in battle. When
be was eoovalearcut, lie had to |<ay
surgeon's bill, whieh left him al
most without a dollar. As soon a*
he was well enough, the government
sent him on a military mission to
the West, where Iu- remained five
yean, and never drew his pn\ to
frill, bat took enough only to defray
his actual expenses. At the close of
liis appointment, tin* United States
owed him $30,000. “This,” said
General Wool, just before he died,
“was tlie only money I ever made
in the whole course of my life! But
I always kept tlmt oat in sate invest
incut, ut good interest. Iu fifty
veins, this $20,000 has grown to
$700,000!” Here, then, was the
secret of hto great wealth, which not
only astonished his friemla, but the
hundreds of military men who served
with him, and who hud su|>erior
opportunities for mnktog money. If
any of our yonng readers can pat
away $1,000 now, they will find
themselves rich When old snd feeble,
even if they add nothing to the
lindens after the first investment.
CHILDREN.
Always b* Civil
“My youug friend,” said a gentle'
man on horse hack, on# day to a
tod who was standing near p well,
“will you do me the fovor to draw
a pall of water for my borne, aa I
find it rather dlflkmlt to get off!”
Instead of giving a gruff reply, as
utnny boys would do, the bay drew
the water and gave it to thu borne.
His mnnuar was so pleasant and
cbeerfttl that the stranger, delighted
with his spirit, asked hto Bums and
residence, anti than after thanking
him, rode on. ’
The goad Matured hid thought uo
more of hto act hf civility, till, acme
months. later, ho received a totter
from the gentleman, offering him a
clerkship in hto store. The offer was
accepted. The tod prospered, and
finally became chief magistrate of a
large city.
Thus yon see that litUe set ef
civility to a stranger was the find
round in the ladder by which that
boy clhnbcd to honor and wealth.
Now, i do not roy that civility wiM
always lead to such honor, bat I say
that it alwaya raises its poaocamir in
the opiuioiia of others, and ia liis
