Of the terrible disaster which hap pened on the first of April, 1873, I1 suppose you have all heard ; how a great steamer struck at night on the rocks of Halifax, and carried down to a watery burial some six hundredpeople. Many bodies have been found and identified, but many more will never be seen again until the sea gives up its dead. Among the numbers marked as "missing is one widow s son, who lives inpetrfit. She clings to the hope that Willie will yet eome back to her. The papers have never told her. that he was '.lost,' an i she feels that by some means be was saved. Every day shts sets his plate on her table, that all may be in readiness if he does arrive ; and every week searches the papers for tiding from the sea. 1 I haven't beard from Willie yet,' she says in answers to the neighbors' queries , " but I hope I shall, this week." I How long her faith will hold out we cannot telirbut doubt ess for y ears to come she will be an anxious watcher. A sudden knock at her door will make her start and her heart throb quick; and when the door opens she will al most unconsciously look for Willie , to come in. ": ' ' . ... O I how many other mothers are watching, hoping, and praying for their boys to come back, boys who are wreck- ed almost as hopelessly and fearfully as weie the passengers of the Atlantic wrecked on land in Che fearful dram shops that destroys more bodies and souls than the most cruel reefs on our coasts ! But a mother never forgets them. Said an ajjed mother to me of her intemperate son now a gray -haired daneing attendance in sitting-room man: "There isn't an hour of the day hours; already feels savage because that nay poor boy is out of my mind. the dinner is getting cold, and spirit And the bitter tears coursed down her begins to rebel against the mother of furrowed cheeks. HU wife and broth- his Amelia. Amelia presently de ers bad cast him off, but bis mother's sceuds, looking very charming; bus heart clung to him still with all a mo- band brightens up, dinner put on the ther's love. ! table; mother-in-law drinks, and is O, how can a son slight such love? affected lo tears ; Amelia cousoles her How can he resist a mother pleadings? The hour will comb when its memory will sting like a viper, but often when it is too late to make preparation for past neglect and unkiudness. ' When we hear men boast of their own talents, we incline to think that their talents should be reckoned as the East Indians reckon rupees by the lack. I am told,' said a geutleman to Lis friend, 'that Ned has married the girl that dcarded jou.' 'Oh! I am so glad I am so delighted ! Hut, iio whj should I be? Th poor fellow nev er did mc any harm !' 1 Ask the Old Lady. ' j - . A gentleman traveling out west re lates the following amusing incident : Riding a horseback just at night tlno' the .woods in Saginaw county, Michigan,- caaie into a clearing, in the middle of which stood a log house, its owner sittinff in the open door smoking I bis pipe StoDoins mr horsa h before him, the following i convemtiun en- sued : Good-evening sir,' said I, 1 Good-vening.r Can I get' a glas3 of milk from you to drink? Well, I don't know. Ask the old woman.' By this time the 'wife was standing at his side. Oh yes, said shft of course you can.' While drinking it I asked : 4 Think; we are going- to have a storm? i Well, I really don't know- Ask the old woman she can tell,' - . 4 1 guess wesball get one right awty raid the wife. i ... x Again I asked :' - How much land have you got clear ed here? . Wr ell,' I really don't know. 'Ask the old woman she knows.' About nineteen acres,' s.id she, again answering. , JustTtben,'a troop ofchildfeo came running and shouting around the cor ner f the shanty. r Are these yo .r children ? said I. Don' know." A. the old woman she knows est. I didn't wait to hear the reply, but drew rein, and left immediately. TU Honey JCoon. j '! By one who has been throughout the ' misery.'.

Wlio in ix Gcntlomunl A gentleman is a person not merely acquainted . with certain lorms and etiquette of life, easy aud self-p9ses-sed in a iciety, able to speak and act and move in the werld without awk wardnees, and free from balits ahich are vulgar and in bad tate A gentle man is somethiug beyond thie ; that which lies at the root of every Chris tian Ttrture. It is tho thoughtful de- (fill rn 1874. sire of doing in every instance what other should do unto him. He is constantly thinking, not indeed bow be may give pleasure to then for the mere sense of pleasing, but bow be may avoid hurting their feelings. When he is in ssciety be scrupulously a.cet tains the position, and relations of every one with whom be comes in contsct, that be may give to each his due honor, bis proper position. Ha studies how be may avoid touching in conversation upon any subject which may needlessly hurt their feelings, bow he may abstain from any allusions which may call up a disagreeable or offensive association. A gentleman never alludes to,' never even appears conscious of .any persons defect, bodi ly deformity,' inferiority of talent, of rank, of reputation in the person in whose society be is placed. He never assumes any ' superiority to himself, never ridicules, never sneers, never boastp, never makes a display of hid own power, or rank, or advantages, J such as is implied in habits, or tricks. or inclrnations which may be offensive to others. ! Io ' lil-irt J3vory vrliev . Man's only safety is in doing right at all time, and under all circumstan ces. It is Satan's trick to make onr doing right depend on persons and J places. He who does wrong because no one will know it, will be terribly disappointed when his sins shall find him out. He who ceafes to be watch ful and circumspect in the presence of bis Jrhnds, will d..d that thase friends in whom he thus confided in an unguar ded hour, ' will betray his confidence and become his foes, will rebuke what tiny before have jutified and accuse him of the very acts which they aided and encouraged him in. To right every where. There is no safety in sin. Confide in no one; pre sume upon nothing.tufficient to do that which is wrong. Tue watching eye ef God is upon U9, and when we depart irora Him, He has ten thousand rods with which to chssten us and correct our fnults. Trust vot in friend; trust not In secrecy; trut not in lies; do right everywhere, and trust in God to give victory and reBt. Do nvt follow the multitude to do1 evil. Do not be a .time server nor a tool, stand boldly up for . truth and righteousness and ever live with a solemn consciousness of direct and personal responsibility to God. Make no compromise with error, sin, and wrong; strike no bargains with Satan; erery thing which he proposes a traP eTerJ hiog that he promises is a delusion and a snare. Man is w:ak. Satan wily, only God is true. Trust in Him; do right every where, and He shall protect, dirtcr, aul savo y u at the end.- Ex. Speaking of delinquent subscribers and newspaper borrowers, our atten tien was drawn to the following extract from Will Carleton's Farm Ballads. It bits the nail squarely en the bead : Gooi morning sir : Mr. Editor, bow is the folks to day? I owe you for next year' paper ; I thought rd come in and pay. And Jones is going to take it, and this is the money, here ; I shut down on lending it to him, and coaxed him to try it a year. ' And here is a few little items, thst happened last week in our town : I thonghtthey'd look good for the paper, 1 and so I just lotted them down : And here's a bucket of cherrns, my wife picked expressly for you ; And a small bunch of flowers frem Jen nie, she thought she must send some thing too. And now you are chuck full of business, and I wont be taking your time. Fve something of my own to attend to good day sir, I believe I'll climb." The Editor sat in bis sanctum, and brought down hU fist with a :huap God bless this ..Id farmer, he mut tered 'he's a regular editor's trump.'
