In heaven he has such beautiful man and gifts prepared for all good When Lin mods, the great Swedish botanist, was a boy, be took much pleasure in his little garden. His father, wbo was a clergyman, al lowed him to till a piece of ground for himself. Liunmus was very* thoughtful and industrious $ be took great {wins with his plants and flowers, and watched them as they grew, so that he might gain aa much knowledge of the vegetable kingdom as {Mtasible. Sometimei* bis father would walk out to see what the boy was about, and bow his flowers and plants were growing. He told the boy all he knew about botany; and It was not long before the lad knew more oil tbe subject than any one in tbe town aud surrounding country. He often went to the fields and woods to pluck and study the flowers in their wild state. The family were poor, and the lad was often made to work in his father's garden. Tet be liked this so well that be never objected; to him It was aa g od aa play. Eveu when be was sn infant, Uunmus sjwut much time in this garden, aud it is said he showed his love for flowers long before lie could speak. If tbe boys and girls who read this would make up tbeir minds to study every lesson well, sod to do what they have to do with all tbeir might, some of them would, no doubt, be great and good like the famous Hwediah botanist. I do not suppose all wbo try would be great uieu aud women, but no doubt some of them would.* But If they seek after knowledge with a view to knowing more of tbe works of Ood, and tbe beauty of bis trnth, asking that tbeir eyes may be ojieued to see not only the baud ol God in nature, but the love of God in hia word, they will be more than great.

The presence of the contin ual danger diminishes fraf, the sight of constant suffering lessens pity, a protracted round of excitement at length foils to excite, and leaves ns wearied and insipid. But actions, on the other hand, repeatedly per formed, strengthen into habits, and acquire a firmer and firmer hold upon us. Any course of action re sulting at first from certain motives or impressM>us,%ill gradually develop and acquire Streugth if persevered in, even while the motives and excite ments which gave it birth, fode away. Thus it happens, that many, who have outlived the keen excitements and fiery passions that once led them into sensnal and vicions indulgences, yet continue wedded to their iniquity, while ceasing to derive even the low pleasure once enjoyed. There are those, on the other hand, who living noble, virtuous, and self-denying lives, yet mourn a lack of feeling and censure themselves, because their emotions are less strong, and tbeir impressions less vivid, than in former years. Did they bat recog nize the law which governs these emotious, they would cease to lament its inevitable operation. In them, tbe great purpose of all pure emo tions has been accomplished, and is shining forth in their worthy lives. As the frequent repetition of vol untary acts form habits, so these habits firmly fixed aud taken together form character. The impressions which precede actions are involun tary—we have no direct coutrol over them; bat the actions themselves can only be performed by an imme diate exercise of tbe will. We may thus be said to have the making of our characters in our own bands, for they are but the accumulated results of reiterated deed*. Good habits, when thoroughly woven iuto the nature, do not demand the repeated recognition of the principle* from which they first eminated. We do not always pause to consider the rightfulness of certain actions; we have done them so often that we do them without thinking. Bat they were none the less commendable on this account, for they indicate past efforts and uniform continuance in well-doing. Bo habits of vice or neglect, or mil-doing of any kind, are perpetuated without any acute con sciousness of wrong. We have $om- h» bghy, Who had a curious it *> him.
