One of the most intelligent women I had ever known, the Christian motlier of a large fam ily of children, used to say that tlie education of cliildren was eminently a work of faith. She never heard the tramping of her boys’ feet in the house, or listened to their noisy shouting in their play, or watched their uiiconcious slumbers, without an inward, earnest prayer to God for wisdom to train them, and for tlie spirit of the Highest to guide them. She mingled prayer witli counsel and restraint; and tlie counsel was tlie wiser, and the restraint was stronger, for this alliance of the luiman iind Divine elements in her instruction and discipline. And at lengtli, when her children liad become men and women, accustomed to the liard strife of the world, her name was the dearest One could speak ; and she who “liad fed their bodies from lier ovvn «|)irit’s life,” who had taught their feet to walk, their tongues to speak and pray, and illumined their consciences with the great lights of righteousness and duly, held their reverence and love, increased a thousand fold by the remembrance of an earlv education that bad its inspiration in htith in God, and its fruit in the noble lives of up- rio-lit, faithful men.—Selected. nARK THIS, BOYS. “Dill you ever know a man who gi-ew rich by fraud, continue successful through life, aud leave a fortune at death J” This question was put to a gentleman who had been in business forty years. After reflecting for awhile, lie replied; “Not one. I li-ave seen many men be come rich as by magic, gain golden opinions, when some little thing led to an exposure of their fraud, and they Irive fallen into disgrace and ruin. Arson,- perjury, murder, and suicide are common crime.'r with those who make haste to be ricirreg-ardlessoftlic means.” “He that hasteth to be rich Irath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.” Prov. xxviii, 22. One of the exquisite wonders of the Sea is called the Opelet, and is about as large as the German sister, looking; in? deed, very much like one. Imagine a ve ry large double aster, with a great many long petals of a liglit green color, glos sy as satin, and each one tipped with rose color. These Icnrely petals do not lie quietly in their pbtees, but wave about in the water, while the opelet clings to a rock, How innocent aud lovely it look.s on its rocky bed! Who would suspect that it would eat any thing grosser than .lew or sunlight 1 But those beautiful waving arms, as you call them have uses besides looking pretty. Tliey have to provide for a large, open mouth, wliich is hidden down deep among them—so hidden that one can scarcely find it. Well do they perform the duty, for the in stant a foolish little fisli touches one of the rosy ti])s, he is struck with poi son as fatal to him as lightning. He immediately becomes numb and ill a moment stops struggling, and then the other arms wr.ip themselves around him and he is drawn into the huge, greedy month, and seen no more. Then the lovely arms unclose aud wave again in the water. I have found that with all cliil dren it is iiecesary to throw 5’our- self into tlieir pursuits, and when “ 7.5 dlfi, Grassy Creek church “ tl efs, Hiram □, No 98. IN' KIND. Cdllected by Mrs. E. .1.

Nothing helped our boys in the garden like going out myself with a hoe. Soon all would follow, and then when once they were started and inter ested I could leave. It was far better than finding fault with them. But the trouble was I would become so interested myself that I could not stop. The exercise certainly was good, and the boys loved to have my Interest in the growth of every vegetable. Tliey measured a water-melon so often to sec its daily growth, that tliey broke its stem by constant lifting. I had to look every day at tlie marks on the jioles, which showed the growth of the beans, a gen eral interest being felt to see which would reach to the top first. Selected A5IOTUER YATERAl, BRIDGE. A natural bridge, far more wonderful than that in ’\’irgiuia, has recently been discovered in Elliott county, Kentucky. It is of solid stone, and forms a mag nificent ai-oh 162 feet long and 15 feet wide at the top, tlie river, the Little Chaney, rolling 100 feet below. Fifty yards above the bridge is a waterfall 60 feet high, and the view fi-om the bridge is said to be extremely beautiful. Adopted Dec. 8d, 1875. EesoWed, 1.
