Team Esq. 684 When you see a boy- that stays away from theatres, grog-shops, ball-rooms and gambling-houses, it is a sign that he will grow up a man in principle, knowledge and goodness. When you see a boy practising the virtues of” morality and Christianity, you may know that he will become an honor to himself and family, useful to his country, and the glory of his Maker. When you‘ 'see a. boy that loves his Bible, and is well acquainted with it, it is a sign of great future‘ blessing from Alinjghty God. But when you see boys that are kind and obliging to each other, obedient and respectful to their parents, attentive to their studies and duties, it is a sign that they will become good and useful men. Although great Ehafiges .sometiuieé take place in 'the character, these signs ' as a general rule, hold gag}. { When you see boys ,rude to each other, you may know they will become disagreeable men. When you see boys panting and grumbling when told to do anything and always displeased when they have any work to perform, it is a Sign they will be good~for nothing men. When you hear a. boy usmg profane language, you may take it for a Sign that be will become a wicked and profligate man. When you see a_boy anxious to spend money, and who spends every cent as soon as he gets it, you may know that he will be a spendthrift. When you see a boy hoarding up his pennies, and unwilling to paft- with them for any good purpose, you: may set it down that he will be a misery ‘ When you sée a boy; looking out for himself, and unwilling to share good things with others, it is a sign that 116 will grow up a selfish man. i When you see 9. boy willing to taste strong drink, you may rightly suppose that he will become a drunkard. When a boy is disrespectful to his‘ parents, disobedient to his ,teachcr, and unkind to his friends and playmates, it is a sign that he will never be of much account; Solomon said, many centuries ago, that “even a child is known by his work, Whether it be good or ev11.” Therefore, when you see a boy slow to go to school, indifferent about learning, and glad of every opportunity to neglect his lessons, you may take it for granted that he will be a blockhead. The question is often asked by parents in regard to \their sons, and by the friends of many young insn ; and, although these is no definité l'r'ule for ascertaining! we may get some idea of what a young man will become by observing his actions and works. Married the Old-fashioned Way. ‘rneuut To marry a man today, Then, for some trivial work or not, Undo the thing straightway. He never made n law like that ; For how can your flesh or bone, No matter how much ’tia tainted, Re any but your own? , We touch with‘ a tender hand the sore Of 9. limb just severed apart, So only the eyes we love shall look At tho wounds that crush the heart. No outside help is wanted there, Such things should sacred be; Just a little patience, a little care. Would make it all rightâ€"you see We’re none of us angelsâ€"don’t expect Too much from a. tempted soul, For many a. good and noble mind Haslost its self-control. Yes even you and I, dear Joe, Have said what we should not say, Although we did get married In the old-fashioned way. Then laws were not as easy and loose, Nor dollars as plenty as now, And our hearts were wed, not our hands, The day we took that vow. And we’ve always loved each other yet, As true as we love our God. And the first divorce we get, will be When one lies under the sod. I said, I never mistrusted you, Joe, And that’s where the secret lies; For a woman or a. man who begins to doubt Looks through a great many eyes. And every one has a different hue, But the principal shade is green, And it doesn’t come from things you know Nor yet from things you have seen. But just perhaps from an idle word Some demon has whispered low. I’ve seen such sorrow born of this No human heart should know. I’ve seen a home where children smiled, Left desolate and lone. For when love has turned to hute,then life Goes with a sorrowful moan. And'it’s my opinion if folks would think 0f the words, “for better for worse,” And ask God to join as well as men, They wouldn’t want a divorce. Yes, Joe, ’tis over thirty years Since the minister made us one, And many a marriage vow, since then, Divorce law has undone. “ Whose fault?” not God’s; he never What Will He Become. fixlminm Egmtxg. I Yes, dying words are those most snught :after and cherished by the human heart; iAmid all the Cams and disappointments ;that may surround us in life, we never 'cap fpfget- the last faint whisperings of if“ dying. ‘Tbe sweet sister of a shipwrecked brother impatiently awaits the arrival of some one rescued from the wreck to learn if her brother, as he was swept beneath the dark waves, sent her a dying word. _ As a young lady reads ovér the list. of the slain in battle. and her weeping eyes rest upon the name of her lover, almost her first thought is, “ Did he leavezme a dying message ? The husband, through weary clays and nights, had been watching at the bedside of his darling wife, until now the dread moment approaches when she will be Wafted beyond the river of death. Under no pretence whatever will he leave her now, and Why '3 Ahl he is waiting and and listening for the last whisper. As she speaks her words echo and re-eo‘no through the chamber of his soul, and re- main {there throughout the mystic future. The mother, bending over the couch of her dying child, eagerly listens for its last w'ords. As the heart’s pulsations grow feeble, the respiration becomes la- borious, she silently listens. Now the pale lips are fmrted, and she draws nearer until her ear comes in contact with the cold breath, when she catches the last faint murmur of the dying one. Oh how she treasures in her pure heart that last “ Good-bye,” that last token of going home to heaven! The last words of the dying are eagerly sought after, and enshrined in memory’s bosom by loved ones. The hero, stand- ing upon the field of battle, amid the booming of cannon, and the rattle of mnsketry, is stricken down; and dying,he utters some sentiment which tells the living he fought bravely, and died loving his country. His words, this uttered, are chanted in his praise, pass imme- diately into history, and are preserved to be handed down from generation to generation. ' Suppose you resolved at the beginning of the week, that you will not make an unkind remark against 'any one that though this or that may be true you will not repeat it; depend upon it, you will be happier when next Sunday comes round, for even having made the resolu- tion, though you have not wholly kept it. But after a time you will be able to carry it out. The habit of restraint and maintaining silence, will ultimately be formed, so that you can withold your fling when others are pulling people's character _to_ pieces. l The habit of criticising grows upon what it feeds upon, until those who yield to it- not unfrequently become confirmed railers or back-biters. From force of habit they look for the faults and flaws of others, and seem to take satisfaction in detecting and exposing thorn. Did it ever occur to you, reader, to keep an account for a single day of the many persons you have spoken against jnstliy or unjustly. Generally speaking, the individual whom everybody likes is the one who speaks kindly of every body, who instead of retailing scandal or unpleasant- facts concerning persons, always has a. good word or keeps quiet. ‘He never says anything against anyone. ’He was never known to breathe against a soul,” are remarks which we occasionally hear made of persons. We have two such acquain- tances now in mind, and we never wit- 13853 everywhere rec'eived, Without thinking that it pays to keep a bridled tongue. If there is one human fault more common than another, it is that of re- flecting upon people behind their backs. Every variety of defamer is ererywhere ‘found, from the malignant calumniator, who libels with poisoned tongue, to the careless gossiper who habitually talks about and criticises others. There are some persons, wrote Wollaston in his Religion of Nature, who carry their stories from family to family and propa- gate them very fast, like little insects. There are very few, who have the will and the ability to represent things truly."
