RELIGION, MORALS AND PHILOSOPHY. Rev. CX C. BROWN, Editor. LIVING AND LOVING. "I live but to love I" is the baby's confes? sion, As fondly it leaps to its mother's embrace, And all the deep rapturous joy of possession Is seen in the glow that illumines it face. *1Hve but to love!" with caresses and kisses It heals all the blows and the bruises of strife, And all through theday'not a chance ever misses Of proving that love is the sweetness of life. The Sky may with ominous clouds be o' erla den, And out of the darkness no blue banner flings, Bat love, like a bird, in the heart of the maiden ? Of courage and hope still contentedly sings. There's always some honey to gather from Sowers. That bloom in our path ; always comfort to give To those who are wounded with thorns. That life's hours May yield ns more bliss, let as love while we live 1 With love by the hearth, though the fuel be scanty, There's warmth and much happiness, spite of all ills: For affection will often thrive well in a sban Ami in sumptuous quarters die off with the chills. Too cautious- in loving, too stingy in giv? ing, The miserly cynic good angels repels, And daily declaring life not worth the liv? ing, Ia sadness and solitude evermore dwells. Though trouble and sorrow have greivously tried us, Leaving scars on the heart time can never efface. If only a friend or two linger beside us, Earth is not a dreary and desolate place. Eternally blest the affectionate mortal Who gires of the grace he is nourished upon! . j Be says as he enters the glory-girt portal ' iCl have lived ! I have loved I" and he lives and loves on. -Josephine Pollard. Three Good Lessson. I was eleven years old said Mr. S., an eminent American' merchant, when my grandfather bad a fine flock of j sheep, which were carfuliy tended dur? ing the war at those times. I was the shepherd boy and my business was to watch the sheep in the fields. A boy who was more fond of his book than the sheep, was sent with^jne' but he left the work to me, while he lay under the trees and read. I jild not like that, and finally went to pay grandfather aod complained of it. A shall never forget the kind smile o/the old gentleman as lie said; i 'Nevermind', Jonathan, my boy; if yon walch %hc sheep, you will have the sbeep^* J^ha*' does grandfather mean by gs thabT I said to myself. 'I don't ex ^ipect te have the sheep.' My desires were moderate. I could not exactly make out in ?DJ mind what it was, but ie had been to Coi igress, in Washing Sngtoa's ?time, so I concluded it was all "g^Vano1 ? went back contentedly to *H sheep. After I got ia the? field I could not UtO?p his words out of my head. Then l^th?ttglit'df Sund ay's lesson : 'Thou 'hast been fei th ful o>ver a few things; 1 will -mt&e thee? ruler over many ?things * i began to see through it. "Never y?u mind who neglects his duty ; be you faithful, and you will have your reward? I-received a second lesson soon after X came to New York as a clerk to the late Mr* Il A merchant from Ohio, who knew me, came to buy goods, and "?Make yottrsetf SO useful that they Catinot do Without you/ I took his meaning quicker than I did that of my grandfather's. Well, I worked npon these two ideas until Mr. R., offered me a partnership in the business The first morning after the partnership was made known Mr. G., the old tea merchant, called to congrat? ulate me, and he said : *You are all right now. I have but one word of advice to give you. j Be careful whom you walk the streets with.' That was lesson number three. And what valuable lesson they are ! Fidelity in all things ; do your best for your employers ; carefulness about your associates. Let every boy take these lessons home, and study them well. They are the foundation stones of char? acter and honorable success. Good Advice. 9 t a P I h 0 a c b h 1 c X h b d d n b b v tc ii a si it cl rc h w a is ti bi w 1 A young lady writes to 'Brick. Pom? eroy as follows: 'Would I?be safe in marrying a young, man whom I love and who professes to love me, and is handsome, well educated and has plen? ty of the World's goods, but is addict- ?, ed to strong drink, but says he will ab- i stain after marriage, when he bas j ? sowed his wild oats V I am an orphan, j, and write you as a friend for advice.' I < Pomeroy answers about as follows : ; i Yon can better get into your coffin, pull j , down the lid yourself, and be consecra- j ; ted to your mother earth, than marry ;1 a man who drinks. There arc thous- ! ands cf poor women whose lives are j ] wretched by listening to the promise of j ? reformation after marriage. If you do \ ? not want to get into your coffiu, take j the most obnoxious pieces of old meat j j that you can find and take it to your bosom for a husband, ratber than mar? ry a man who is debauched, degraded and debased by strong drink. . mm i I mm True grace is having God in us. Grace is not a quality tranfased ; it j, is the presence of a person. Growth j i in grace is the being more utterly self- j j lost in God ; it is the being more and ? more conscious that in me dwelleth no j good thing and consequently, being J more and more receptive aud rceipient of ; the only possible good thing, which is j < the indwelling of the good oue, that is, j ? God.-Dean of Landojf. The truly gifted and learned man is I j seldom vain of his gifts or acquire- ! ments. But he whose natural parts i1 are but feeble, and whose achievements ? ; are but slight, is often eaten up with ! i the most inordinate vanity. j j Personal Habits of Children. If children are expected to grow into refined, cultivated people, nothing caa be more important tb.au commencing very early tc train them into habits of gentle, sensible human beings, lt may seem a very trifling matter to many mothers whether her boy comes to the table with his hair neatly brushed, his finger nails cleaned, or his collar on awry or not; or whether the little daughter is taught to knock at her sis? ter's door for admittance, or bursts right in, taking the elder one quite unawares. But these things are not trifling matters at all. Many worthy people who would not knowingly intrude upon others, or offend them in any way, are constantly, through lack of early training, committing offences against taste and propriety ; for good breeding is like the aroma of the spice or the perfume of the flower-something that belongs to a person. It cannot be put on as a dinner dress or travelling cos? tume can be, aud taken off at pleasure. Particularly should all the little per? sonal habits which go to make up the sum total of neatness and propriety in children, be so ingrained in their early training, as to become a part and parcel rf themselves. A child does not like to ase a tooth-brush with regularity, nor submit to have its nails evenly and regularly pared, nor its hair washed ; but a child needs to be taught that these .ittie matters are a part of its regular existence-no more to be neglected than sating when hungry, or drinking when ihirsty. Among the very wealthy who ?n afford to keep a nursery governess, >art of whose duty it is to specially at end to these little matters on the part >f the children, they are not usually ipr to be neglected ; but in a large fami y where the mother is housewife, and * ill too frequently maid-of-all-work in iddition, somehow or other the children ire sometimes neglected. It may seem lecessary they should be ; yet of all )laces to slight duty, here is the very ast surely to begin or even to end. They ought not for one sing e day to >e so left out of sight, that their per onal habits are not a matter of great Doment to the mother. From the day he little one first comes into the home, t has a claim to attention which grows tronger and stronger all the time. If he infant does not eat and sleep proper y, trouble in after life will eusue. If be little child bites its nails, it may ive to regret the habit. And taken in j eason, any habit can be broken or ac [uired at the will of the parent. In his matter of forming habits of person 1 neatness and order in the little ones, larents are very often very neglectful, t is a subject any mother may well take tome to herself. Do not permit a child to wear a boot r a shoe either too short or tight in ny way. It will deform the foot and ause corns and bunions, which are ard to cure. Frequent bathing of the air in warm water, with or without a it tie castile soap or borax, keeps it lean. It should be well dried. To rash long hair, part it evenly over the ead, braid the tresses in quite small raids, not too closely to the scalp, and 0 not unbraid until the bair is nearly ry. Frequent brushing improves bu tan hair. Little folks should go into a ath at least twice a week, if every day e impracticable. In summer time it is ery refreshing to a tired, soiled cbild ) give it a good washing before getting ito bed. Then, with clean sheets and free conscience, any child ought to eep well and get up bright and happy 1 the morning. Teeth should be leaned immediately after eating, to re love any particle of food which may ave collected about them. It is not ell either to work or play directly after full meal. It hinders digestion, and i a fruitful cause of after tronbles. ?either should food be bolted down. If ie meal be but an apple and a bit of read, it should be eaten slowly and ell masticated before swallowing. %e Mother's Treasury. Something to Ponder. The closing of A. T. Stewart & Co.'s lusiness, suggests mach thought. Alexander T. Stewart was a 'great hop-keeper'-perhaps the greatest hop-keeper the world has seen. But utstdc of this line his mind appears 0 have be'jn narrow, his thoughts scat ering, and his plans characterized by adecision. From his death till to ay his schemes have languished, their tate is a graphic illustration of >f the ancient words 'In that very day lis thoughts perish.' 1,5000 men were thrown out of ?mploymeot. It is said that .salaries lave always been moderate, but posi? tons have been looked upon as perma? nent y The closing of the business was 1 great shock to most of the employees Put not your trust in princes ;' mer? ill ant princes are as uncertain as others. The mansoleum built for his body Is supposed to be empty, and greater locertainty from this side the dark river * nay be felt concerning the condition of bis soul. Over his palace on Fifth Avenue, his great hotels and greater store over factories, his, viliages, his churches and his lands, might with pro? priety be written, 'Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth * * but lay up for yourselves treasures in beaven * * For where your treas? ure is, there will your heart be also.' When his secular confessor, who en? tered so wondrously upon his posses? sions, barred out the Jewish banker, Seligman, and all other Jews from the Grand Union Hotel, Seligman, with the wrath of Mordecai of old against Haman, declared that tho house of A. T. Stewart & Co. would not last five years. His prophecy is in substance Fulfilled, though there may bc no con? nection between that act of arrogance and the end. Yet there may be. On the whole, the toppling of over? grown fortunes and the disintegration >f enterprises of portentious dimensions bode no ill to the people,-N. Y. Ad? vocate. Christian virtue can only be the virtue of a Christian. It cannot be 3augbt by imitation, but must express the character of a reneweJ heart. To follow Christ we need the spirit of Christ.- Watchman. Let not any man deceive himself i with the thought that, because the gen ?ral spirit of his life is right, his miuor j >hort-comings shall bear no bitter fruit, j Nro mau sins and does not suffer ior it. j Toward our infirmity God has infinite j tenderness ; but he*-never lets us do | wrong and escape the evil consequence, j This is his kindness toward us-that j by his chastisements he forever seeks to j turn us back into the way that leads us j blessedness.-George Merriman. Power of Unselfishness. I The best bred people never think of j themselves-or do not appear to do so i -but ody of the pleasure they give to ! others. In all French history no woman ' had a stronger fascination for who I ever came within reach than Madame \ Kecamier. She was called beautiful; < but her portraits proved that her beau? ty was not to be compared with that of many less charming women. And even when attraction of person had long passed away, and she was an old woman, her sway over the hearts of others was as powerful as ever. What was her secret ? It was this one thing sole? ly-ber genuine and unaffected interest tn the good and ill fortunes of her friends. She was ever ready with ber sympathy and counsel. Authors came to her and read her their books; painters came to her with their pictures; statesman with their projects. She was sweet and simple, unconsciously, as a rose is sweet. She rearly cared for the happiness and success of others, and they felt the genuineness of her sympa? thy. It surrounded her with an im? mortal charm. Let any girl try Madame Recamicr's experiment. Let her go into society thinking nothing of, the admiration she may win; but every? thing of the happiness she can confer. It matters little whether her face ie beautiful, or her toilet costly. Before the end of three months she will be a happy girl herself; for the world likes sunshine and symyathy, and turns to them as the flowers bask in the san of June. The heart that is fullest of good works has in it the least room for temptations of the enemy. -?>-??? - Live by the day ; you will have daily trials, and strength according. Leave to-morrow to the Lord. ~o~o Wherever we travel, we can never judge of the height of any hil! but from the vale beneath. The height of God's eternal love is only to be discov? ered from the vale of humility. It is one of the highest tributes to music that religion can ase it. It is one of the highest proofs that religion brings joy to the heart that when men have found God they want to sing. It is no slight authentication of our Lord that the angels sang at his birth.-Dr. F. A Nolie. Disease is an effect, not a cause. Its origin is within; its manifestations without. Hence, to cure the the disease the cause must be re? moved, and in no other way can a cure ever be effected. WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE is established on just this principle. It realizes that 95 Per Cent. of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys and liver, and it strikes at once at the root of tbe difficulty. The elements of which it is composed act directly upon these great organs, both as a food and restorer, and, by placing them in a healthy condition, drive disease and pain from the system. For the innumerable troubles caused by un? healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs; for the dist lessing Disorders of Women; for Malaria, and for physical derangements gen? erally, this great remedy has no equal. Be? ware of i m posters, imitations and concoctions said to be just as good. For Diabetes, ask for WARNER'S SAFE DIABETES CURE. For sale by all dealers. H. H. WARNER & CO., Rochester, N. Y.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR Diseases of tte Tamal asi Lungs. J?V J? In diseases of the pal JAI ?AAV?> rnonary organs a safe and reliable remedy is invaluable. AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL is such a remedy, and ao orb L-r so eminently ml.? its thc confidence nf the public. It is a sci? entine combination of the medicinal princi? ples and curative vir? tues of the finest drugs, chemically united, of such power as to insure the greate3t possible ^ efficieucy and uniform DEV* TAO ff* ity of results. It strikes r ?Sv 1 V?lrii?. a- the foundation of all pulmonary diseases, affording prompt relief and rapid cures, and is adapted to patients of any age or either sex. Being very palatable, the youngest children take it readily. IA ordinarv Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat, Bronchitis, Influenza, Clergyman's Sore Throat, Asthma, Croup, and Ca? tarra, the effects of AYER'S CHERRY PEC? TORAL are magical, and multitudes are an? nually preserved from serious illness by its timely and faithful use. It should be kept at hand in every household for the pro? tection it affords in sudden attacks. In Whooping-cough and Consumption there is no other rfmedy so efficacious, soorhiug, and helpful. Low prices are inducements to try some of the many mixtures, or syrups, made of cheap and ineffective ingredients, now offered, which, as they contain no curative qualities, can afford only temporary relief, and are sure to deceive and disappoint the patient. Diseases of the throat and lungs demand active and effective treatment; and lt is dan? gerous experimenting with unknown and cheap medicines, from the great liability that these diseases may, while so trifled with, become deeply seated or incurable. Use AYSR'S CHERRY PECTORAL, and yon may confidently expect the best results. It is a standard medical preparation, of known and acknowledged curative power, and is as cheap as its careful preparation and fine ingredients will allow. Eminent physicians, knowing its composition, prescribe it in their practice. The test of half a century has proven its absolute certainty to cure all pul? monary complaints not already beyond the reach of human aid. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
