The tablet and that history will remain indellible when tiuie shall be no moro. That his tory each mother shall meet a^ain, and read a*;ain, with eternal joy or unutter' able grief, in the coming ages of etern ity. This thought should weigh upon the mind o f every mother, aud render her deeply circumspect and prayerful aud faithful in her solemn work o f training up her children for heaven and immortality. The minds o f children arc very sus ceptible and easily impressed. A word, a look, a frown, may engrave an tmpres ¿don on the mind o f a child which no lapse o f time can efface or wash out. You walk along the seashore when the tide is out, aud you form characters, or write words, or names, in the white, smooth sand, which is spread out so clear and beautiful at your feet, accord iug as your fancy may dictate : hut the returning tide shall, in a few hours, wa-h out and efface all you have written. Not so the lines and characters of truth wid error which your conduct im prints on ¿he mind of your child. There you write impressions, the ever lasting good or ill o f your child, which neither floods nor the storms of earth can wash out, nor death’s cold finger erase, nor tho slow moving ages o f eternity obliteiate. Ilow careful, then, should each mother be in the treatment o f her child ! How prayerful, and how seriona and how earnest, to write the eternal truths o f God in his mind— Chose truths which shall be his guide and teacher when her voice shall be aileot in death. / asked a girl what she wanted most, and she re plied. *‘ a lover!” W e asked a wife what she wanted roost, and she said, “ kind words from guy husband, and children to bear his name !

There is glory in the thought that you have resisted tamptation and conqured. Your bright ex * tuple will be to the world what the light house is to the mariner upon a sea shore; it will guide hundreds to the point of virtue and safety. “ Remember who you are talking to, s it !” said an indignant parent to a frac tious boy ; “ I ’ m your father, sir !” — “ W ell, who’s to blame for that !” said young impertinent ; “ taint mo !” S IN G A W A V j r o U H G J U fiF . D E F IN IT IO N O F C H A H A C T E R . W e can sing away our cares easier than we can reason them away. Sing in the morning. The birds are the earliest to sing; the birds are more without care than any thing else I know of. Sing in the evening. Sing ing is the last thing that robius do. When they have done their daily work, wheu they have fl .wn thoir last flight and p eked up their last morsel of food, aud cleansed their bill on u napkin of a bough, then on a top twig, fhey sing one song o f praise. I know they sleep sweeter for it. They dream music; for sometimes in the night they break forth in siugiug, aud stop suddenly after the first note, startled by their own voice Oh ! thut we might sing evening and morning, and let song touch song all the way through. A s l was returning from the country the other evening, be tween six and seven o’ clock, bearing a basket o f flowers, I met a man that was apparently the tender of a mason. He lo»>ked brick and mortar all over. He hud worked the entire day, and he had the appearance o f a man that would not be afraid of work. He was walking on with light s-ep, and singing to himself as he passed oiwn the street, though ho had bee. w< king the whole day, and nearly the vh» e week. Were it not that my go >d thi tights always come too late, I should he >e given him a large allotment ot my flowers. I f he had not been out of sight when the idea oc curred to me, I should have hailed him aud said, “ Have you worked all day ?” “ O f course I huve,” he would have said. “ Are you singing ?” “ Of course l am.” “ Then take the flowers home and give them to Your wife, and tell her what a blessing she has in you !” Oh ! that we could put songs under our burdens. O h ! that we could ex tract the sense of sorrows by song. Then these things would not poisou so much. Sing in the house. Teach your children to sing. When troubles com»*, go at them with songs When griefs arise sing them down. Lift the voices of praise against cares. Praise God by singing; that will lift you above trials of every sort. Attempt it. They sing iu heaven; and among God’s people upon earth it is the appropriate language of a Christian feeling.— Beecher. Fine Fellow— The man who adver tises in your paper, the man who never refuses to lend you money, and the fel low who is courting your sister. Gentle People— The young lady who lets her mother do the ironing tor fear of spoiling her hands, the young gen tleman who is ashamed to be seen walk ing with his father, and the youiiw lady who wears thin shoes on ft rainy day. Industrious People— The young lady who reads romances in be<J, the friend who is always engaged when yon call, and the correspondent who can never find time to answer y«»ur letter Unpopular Personages— The fat man in an omnibus, a tall maD in a crowd, a short man on parade. Timid People— A lover about to pop the questiou, a man who does not like to be shot at, and a steamboat company with a case o f cholera. Dignified Men— A midshipman on a quarter deck, and a school committee on examination day. Unhappy People— Old bachelors and old maids. Humble Persons— The husband who does his wife’s churning, the wife who blacks hor husbands boots, and ¿he man who thinks you do him too much honor. Mean People— The man who kicks people when they are down, and the subscriber who refuses to pay for his paper. Sensible people— You and I. F l i r t a t i o n . — It takes two to make a flirtation, it must be remembered; and the ordinary practice o f society— to blame the girl whenever a flirtation- copartnership is broken up— constantly produces cases of great hardship Why mu>t it necessarily be the girl that is in wrong T At present, flirtation is ac» cepted as a fashionable amusement. It is far more interesting than bezique; it is not limited by conditions o f time and place, like eorquet; and it has just that spice o f danger which heightens oue’s enjoyment of any pastime. When two charming young creatures begin to flirt with each other, don’ t they know perfectly well what they are about? Falliogseriously in love is quite another matter, and is known by its very differ ent symptoms. There is a fine, airy, theatrical appearauce about a flirtation which the more solemn busiuc-s of love-making invariably lacks. A true lover fears to meutiou his mistress’ name. He is half afraid lest his secret should be known to herself. He is si lent. He is moody, and given to long and vacant staring at the table-cover or carpet. He secretly watches the too sweet faco which has enthralled him ; and he has a terrible inward qualm when her eye catches his. He is mis erable when he is beside h er; he is un utterably wretched when he is away from her. The stars are his confidants; he abhors the faces o f meo, and turns away in disgust from the smoking room o f his club. Bat the man who is only carrying on flirtation is a very different creature. He plays at making love in aserio comic manner which is meant to be amusiug. He is great in the matter o f c o m p l i m e n t s ,;i s easy in manner, jocular, and occasionally witty (with such brains m Providence has given him) even witty. W ith-him the trag edy o f love making is turned into a clever burlesque, with plenty of light, brilliant dreaseVgood music aud merri ment. « B A N D C E L E B R A T IO N 1776 OF o r a -IN - a .

There are some who deprecate their condition, and some who have a false pride in it, because they demand more consideration than they merit. A want o f intelligence upon all the aubjects o f the day and o f a refined education is no more excusable in a country than in a town-bred girl, in these days of many books and newspapers. “ Many girls are discouraged because they can not be seut away from home to boarding schools ; but men o f super ior minds und knowledge o f the world, would rather have for wives womeo well and properly educated at home.
