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? The beauty
of quiet lives, of trustful* hopeful,
free handed, free hearted, charitable
lives is one of surpassing loveliness,
and those lives shed their own in
comparable fragiaece, and tl c world
knows where to lind them. And the}

the colors of pigment and the worst

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out of date.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

A TIGHT-FISTED MAX'S CllltlSTM AS.
?Mi! but he was n tight listed band
at the grindstone. Scrooge! 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?'

'Come, then, returned the nephew,

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.
On Christmas it is customary for
all the member.* "fa family to col
led and unite in merry making, feast
ing and otherwise enjoying them
selves. 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.
Christmas hns many happy memo*
ics to set against the sad onr t that

I Once 11]>>>ti a time an Arabian prin
cess was presented by her teacher,
with an ivory casket, exquisitely
wrought, with the injunction not. to
open it until a year had rolled round.
.Many wore the speculations as to
what it contained, and tho time im
patiently wailed for when the jeweled
key should disclose the mysterious
contents; rt came at last, and the
maiden went away alone, and with
trembling haste unlocked the treas
ure; ami htl reposing on delicate
satin linings, lay nothing but rt
shroud of rust; the form of some
thing beautiful could be discerned*
and tin* httatity had gone forever.
Tearful with disappointment) she did
hot ai lirst sec a slip of parchment
containing these words:
'?Dear pupil: .May you learn from
this a lesson for your life. This
trinket, when inclosed, had upon it
only a .tingle spot of rust; by tit gleet
it lias become the useless thing you
now behold, only a blot on its pure,
surrounding. So a little stain on
your character will, by inattention
and neglect, m?rn bright aud useful
life, and in time will leave only the
dark record of what might have been.
If you now place within a jewel of
gold, and after many years seek the
tesult, >-oii will lind it still as spark
ling as ever. So with yourself; treas
ure up only the pure, the good, and
you will always be an ornament to
society, aud a soureejoftruepleasure
