As we look abroad, and heboid the
multitude of ohildreo, who bouyant
with life and spirit throng the busy
streets and villages throughout our
country, and while witnessing their
present condition so joyous and tree
from care, when a few years shall pass
away will they be important and busy
actors on the stage of lite, and aid in
improving and extending the civil, re-

It Is an Important question with
every parent, to ascertain how the lat

mighty and powerful -stream, it does
not commence with the alphabet. It
begin with mother's look; with
fatber'e word of approbation or bis
sigh of reproof; with a sister's gentle
pressure of the hand, or fn m some
kind act from brother; with handful
of flowers from the murmuring brook
side, with birds' nests admired bntnot
touched, and thoughts dlreoted In
sweet and kindly words and pleasant
tones, applied to deeds of virtue and
to th source of good, and all pure
thinking. For thoughts make acts,
acts form babita, habits prove our
obaraoter, and character proves our
destiny. Oh, that every ohild bad a
true mother! One that would teach
him to worship tbe true Lord of para
dise, and pray to Him to deliver bis
soul from lying lips and deceitful
touguee. So that all may live noble
lives, that would be acceptable to the
God from which ail blessings come.
