Now this is what your papa meant; these cards appear, pinnies*, and pretty to play with, but when yon know their names, and a few games which people call ianoorat, there arises a desire to play for some thing, as boys play marbles, ‘for keeps.' This leads to gambling, late hoars, and dissipation, and thus this quicksand swallows up many a young man who thought a simple game of cards was *aft, ootid ground. I have known many handsome for tunes 'and plantations lost in this quicksand. There are moral quick sands all along your pathway of life, my son, which are to be avoided and shunned, if you would escape de struction.* “Mother, take these cards ami bam them.up. I don't want to get into that qnicksand, and tell me some more quicksands if you please,* said Willie. “Do you see George Jones on the other side of the street f* said his mother. “How he staggers I and his clothes, see how ragged they are ; his face bloated^ red, and sense less. Well, he was once a fine young man; he had a fine form, a kind mother and sister He fell into a terrible qnicksand; he began to take a glass of wine once in a while—it seemed sa/s, solid ground, to take a little trine. When I used to tell him of his danger, he would say, “I am all safe/ After a while he would take a "dram every day, he said for dyspepsia—but it was because the qnicksand of drunkenness had al ready gotten hilh fast In a month or two he went off with some young men on what he called ‘a spree,' ftnd after that he began to drink openly. His mother died heart-broken; be paid 110 attention to his farm, and has now drank up that; his sister has gone away, unable to bear his disgrace ; he is almost swallowed np in this dreadful quicksand.* “Did nobody try to help him out, mother F ' iff ? 5 ■ * * “Oh yes, his friends held out to him the pole of the .Temperance pledge; he took 1 hold of it, but broke it up. Then the pole of Love and Friendship was held to him— that he threw away. Then the pole of Respectability, and that he laugh ed wt. Last week he had the <fottr- fern tremens, and now the poor fellow will not last much longer. There is another qnicksand here, the dancing school of Monsieur La Fitte.* ^Why, mother, that can't be one; that looks so safe and solid, and makefi the boys * mid girls graceful, improves their manners, and fits them for society,* said Willie. “Well, my dear, if that was the end of the dancing school, it would not be patronised very well. Tree, those are the reasons usually given, but when the young ladies learn the dances taught, there are balk and parries given. This leads to late criminate society. No choice Is per- mttted at a bait ; you mast dance with young men and women yoo would blush to associate with at your own home. This quicksand of gaiety driven away all serious thoughts, and what appears safe, solid ground is nothing but a quick sand of immorality, after all* “1 am glad that there are but few qufekaands for girts,* said Lucy, who sat by the window listening to her mother. Mrs. Edwards smiled and said, “Do yoo remember what I was talk ing about yesterday, Lucy t* “Yes, mother, Annie told a story —what she said was only a ‘white 1W aud you told her to wb*t ‘white lying* led." “Yea, that is the most dangeron* and. deoeitAil quicksand of all,* said Mrs. Edwards. “It seems nothing wrong—all m/e, seHdgrown*—fruit to tell a little fib that ‘don't hurt any body.* Of course, no oae expects to tall a downright lie, when they ves ture npon that unstable ground, but a fib, to evade the truth, to get out of trouble, to equivocate, to exag gerate, to make a story ‘Mg'-three are all different ways of lying.* “Oh I mother,* exclaimed Lucy, “is that not too hard to say r • “No, my child 5 young i*ople do 'Wot have the sin of lying property shown to them, and that is why they say, ‘it is no harm to tell n story.* I have heard yaur papa say that, when a boy, he one day threw a stone and hit a bird that was sitting on a fence stake; be waa slated with his skill, aud picking up the bird, ran to show your grandma what a marksman he was. He told her how he had killed it, but embellished hie story by saying, ‘When I found the burd on the ground, the stone was lying on top of the bird.' Instead of laughing at the absurd story, his good mother's face became very grave. She took him by the band, fixed her clear gray eye upon him, and said, ‘(’barite, you have told me a lie; was that exactly so f Then, when he confessed that be added that part to ‘make his story tell nice,' she talked to him about what a terrible quicksand ’lying' was, how hard to get out of, bow the efforts of friends could hardly save a poor boy or girt that got Uito it, and how, finally, the word of a liar coaid not be trusted, even if he toki the thing that was true.

It does not seem so bad to take nn apple or a peach that ia not yours, to pick up a wbip-lnsh or strap some one ban lost, and keep It, or to slyly pocket a stray emit found oa the floor; but that ia the thin top emot. This is a very shaky and watery qnicksand; those who got into it most generally do not rail fbr any help; it swallows them up fast, and the end is the gallows or the peni tentiary. Then there is the quick sand called ‘swearing.' Some boys and girts nay, ‘(Vmfoond it? ‘Hang it P ‘Dogs take It P and such low expressions, who would be aston ished if you told them that they were standing on the edge of this quicksand. This soon leads to the name of God being used, and you know the commandments, WiHle, about taking the fiord's name jn vain. This qnicksand holds those that get iuto it very fast and tight Sometimes the pole called the Church is not strong enough to pull them out, and the pole of Prayer is the only effectual one.* “Mother, how non I ever avoid these quicksands,* said Willie.— “How will I know, when all looks safe and solid ground, that it la soft and shaky f* “My boy, the Psalmist says, ‘Thy Ward is a light unto my path f that will show you the quicksands.
