There is no use putting up the motto, ''God bless our home," if the father is a rough old bear, and the spirit of discourtesy and rudeness is taught by the parents to the chil i reu and by the older to the younger There Is no use in putting up the motto, "The Lord will provide,"' while the father is shiftless, the boys re fuse to work, and the girls busy themselves over gewgaws and littery. There ia uo use \ Utting up the motto. ''The greatest of these is charity," while the. tongue of the backbiter wags in the family, and silly gossip is dispensed at the U a table. There is no use in placing up couspicuoiisly the motto, "The liberal man deviseth liberal tilings," while the money chiuks in the pockets of "the head of the household/' groaning to get out to see the light of lay. and there are dollars and dimes for wines and to bacco ami ot her luxuries, but posi tively not one cent for the church. In bow many homes are these mottoes standing?lot us say hanging?sar casms which serve only to point a jost and adorn a satire?

"What nils dis bcoples of Ameri ca," says an obi traveller from Ger many, "is dot doy walks mit der legs too much in der shttcetgars out, und don't got some muscled some more'-" A TOUCHING STORY. One rarely meets with a more touching romance than is found in the following story which comes from Wales: "A number of years ago some mi ners in exploring an old pit that had long been closed, found the body of a young man dressed m a fashion long out of date. The peculiar action of the air of I he mine w as such as to pre serve the body so perfectly that the body appeared asleep rather than dead. The miners were puzzled at the circumstance; no one in thedis trict had been missed within their remembrance, and at last it was re solved to bring the oldest inhabitant ?an old lad^ long past her eightieth year who had lived single in the vii (age tile winde of her life. On being brought iutothe presence of the body a strange scenee occurred. The old lady fell on t In* corpse, kissed it, and addressed it by every term of endear ment, apoken in the language of a by gone generation, lie was hef only love, she had waited for him during her long life. She knew he had not forsaken her. The old holy and the young mull had been betrothed sixty years before. The lover hail disap peared mysteriously und she had kept faithful during the long interval. Time had stood still with the young man but had left it.s mark on the wo man. The millers who were pre sent, were a rough set, but very gent ly and with tearful eyes they remov ed the old ladv to her house, and i thai ni^lit her faithful spirit rejoined that of her long lost lover." CONSCIENCE. Not luauy years ago, a student in Princeton Seminary desiring to rise early iu the morning, bought nil alarm dock. For a few days il Vj>,-U?'d well. But one morning, after being aroused by its alarm, he turn ed over and went to sleep again. On subsequent mornings the clock fail ed to awake him. He placed it under the lo ad of his bed in close proximity io his cur. There it awoke him till .he uext time he disobeyed its sum mons; ever afterwards was fail ire. lie slept through it> call with perfect regularity. Yet, on I he other Hand, many a mother wakes on the fai litest voice of her child, and many a watcher on the slightest movement of the patient. They Ijavu trained themselves to heed such calls. In like manner thy conscience may be dead cued or trained. Let the Christian disregard its voice, ami soon it will become unable to arouse him :it all. Let him carefully heed its faiutest remonstrance, and it will become to him u most valuable mentor, 'l ake j good care of your conscience; it is tt most delicate apparatus.?Christian () bse'rver.

A squeez ing, wrenching grasping* elutching, covetous old sinner! The cold with in him froze in his old features, nip ped his pointed nose, shriveled his cheek; tnude his eyes red, bi,s lips bine, and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. He curried bis low temperature always about with him: be teed his olllce in dog-days; and didn't thaw it out Ollu degree at Christ mas. Once upon a time, '.hi Scrooge sat busy in the count ing-ho.iso. He could hear the people in the court outside go wheezing up and down, stamping their feet upon the pavement stones to warm them. The fog came pour inginat every chink and keyhole' and was so dense without that the houses opposite were mere phantoms. *A merry Christinas, unole! Cod save you !' cried a cheerful voice. TJah !' said Scrooge. Humbug!* 'Christmas a humbug, uncle! You don't mean that. I nin sure?' T do,' said Scrooije. 'Merrv b Christmas! What right have you to bo merry? You're poor enough 1 'Come, then, returned the nephew, 'what right have yon to be dismal? You're rich enough.' 'What else caul he when I live in such a world of fools as this?

If I could have my will every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' c>u his lips should be boiled with his own pudding ami buried with a stake of holly run through his heart. Keep Christinas in your own way ami let me l.eej) it mine' FF.ITT VToTu*itS~ What a blessed thing it is that we can forget! To-day's troubles look large, but a week hence they will be forgotten and buried out of sight. Saysone writer: Ifyou keep a book, and daily put down the things that worry you. and see what becomes of them, it would be a benefit to you. You allow a thing'to annoy* you just as you allow a ll\ to settle on you and plague; and you lose your tem per (or rather gel it), for when men are surcharged with temper they are said to have lost it: and you justify yourselves for being throw it off your balance by causes which you do not trace out.'But ifyou would see what it was that threw you oil" your bill atlcc before breakfast, and j>ut it down in u little book, and follow it up. and follow it out. and ascertain what becomes of it, you would sec what a ford you were in the matter. The art of forgetting is a blessed art, but the art of overlooking is quite us important. And if we should take time to write down the original pro gross aud outcome ofn few of our troubles, it would make us so asham ed of the fuss we make over thein, I that wo should be glad to drop such [ things, and bury them at once in eternal forgetfulnc***. Life is loo I short to be worn ottt in pett.\ worries, fret tings, hatred and vexation. THE HAPPY CHRISTMAS HE UNION.

With what mingled cmo lions ofjoy .and sorrow are these bap py reunions looked buck upon in after years by partioipnnts thinking of those dear oner, now, perhaps, i separated from them forever. Let us make a Christmas picture: The sleighride to the house, the wel come at the door, the bounteous feast with accompany ing jokes and humor, the stories, games and other pastimes that follow, the unveiling of the children's Christmas tree in the evening, and finally the farewell for the night. Then there is the jolly mystery of famous old 'Kris Kringle,' who comes in his sleigh drawn by reindeer, over the tops of houses, pops down the chimneys, never spoiling with soot ' t he pr*t ly t h i ng^ he bri a gn, to x utS lull the row of stockings that hung from the inant. 1 Let us imagine for tin iustnat the little ropy, laughing, happy faces that peep into these stockings in the morning, ami shout gleefully as each treasure is brought tO llLrllt.
