of it the more puzzled I am."

these words was middle-aged, his hair

gray. Ho was tall, stalwart uud strong,
but he longed for a bit of mothering as in

He was burdened with the cares of
life perplexed with its unsolved ipies

heart was how blessed it wuuld be to
once more bear the kindly words nf his
mother's gentle voice, and to feel the
loving, soothing touch ot her hand in

gathered iu her piotecting, loving arms
close to her breast. But the mother had
long ago passed into the skies; the sale
shelter of the home nest had gone, and
ihe stem realities of tho life of a grown
up man were about him.
Many a man, and woman too, have
wished again for the mothering child

Jacob thought himself sltotig so
strong that he could wrestle with an
angi-l and prevail. As loug us he did
so, and did prevail, he received uolhiug
from the hand of (iod. It was necessary
fjr (iod to reduce him to the posiiion in
which he might he save). I'utliug forth
his hand he touched the sinew of his
thigh. And when he was iu danger of
falling to the ground, an 1 only steadied
himself by catching w ith his arms around
the angel's neck, when he had been re
duced to weakness tho angel bent over
him and said, "Then bast power with

and he blessed him. So with the woman
of Kyropheuieia. She came to Christ
strong in the idea lie was able imme
diately to help her, and she had to be
reduced, to be content to take the crumbs
from the table. When she said, "True,
Lord," aud was prepared to take the
least piece, she received the healing of
her child.
A great many here arc too strong for

them, instead of asking (iod to allow

THE RIGHT WAY TO LIVE.
MOHONOilH S "lit: LES FOB THE Ul'ID
ANl'E OF MY LIKE IN ISO t.
The following rules, written by John
Mcll.iiiogh, the philanthropist, for tho
guidance of bis life, bears dale; New
Orleans, March d, ISO I.
They were preserved by him, aod he
aiieiiipted to live by them until the hour
ol bis deal li
Ufiui'iubcr always that labor is one of
the conditions ol our existence.
Time is L'old: throw not one minute
away, but place each one to account.
Ho unto all men as you would be done
Never put off till to morrow what you
can do to-day.
Never bid another do what you can
do yourself.
Never covet what is not your own.
Never think any mutter so trivial as not
to deserve notice.
Never give out that which does not
first come in.
Never spend but to produce.
Let the greatest order regulate the
transactions of your life.
Study iu the course of your life to do
the greatest passible amount of good.
Depriveyourself of nothing necessary
to your comfort, but live in honorable
simplicity and frugality.
Labor then, to the last moment of
your existence.
Pursue strictly the above rules, and the
Divine blessing and riches of every kind
will flow upon you to your heart's content;
but, first of all, remember that the first
aud great study of your life should be
to tend by all means in your power to the
honor and glory of tbe Divine Creator.
The conclusion at which I have ar
rived is that without temperance there is
no health; without virtue, no order; with
religion, no happiness; and the sum of
our being is to live wisely, soberly and
lightcously. N. C. Journal of Educa

brings joy or pain. It'a for the

and a Btroitg womanly organism,
motherhood but adds to a woman's
