Do not starve to-day, either I body, mind or soul thinking that J , poverty will knock at your door j I to-morrow. Don I hoard and 1 scrimp through all the best years , of your life that you may be gen j erous in your will. Lite is uncer ; tain, and is better to make your : children happy while they are ; under the home roof; to call to ! that home every agency that will make their lives sweeter and bet- ; ter, than to deny them these that ; you may leave them a large ae- j i count when you are gone. It will be too late for them to return kind-' ness to you then. Don't keep the ; parlor shut up and live in the I kitchen, unless you want the boys : and girls to be anxious to leave you. Don t ttntiK they must nod go anywhere but to Sunday school and prayer meeting; remember you were young once yourself. Do not ask them to walk two miles to a singing or lecture after work-, ing hard all day, when there arc 1 two or three horses in your barn that would enjoy the trip as much as they. For God's sake show them ! you think as much of them as you ! do of your beasts if no more. Take time to enjoy the society of your friends, especially the con-1 panionship of your children; it will I only be a few years at the best that ' they will be with you, and these ought to be years of happiness to 1 both you and them. Would you ! not rather have them look back i when out in the world to that I ' blessed home (though it may not have been a mansion) where they i received more joy and comfort . than the world can afford, than to have them forget home in a week and hardly return to your burial? If we are happy in this life we must enjoy what every day brings. We should be grateful and glad for all the good that comes into our lives and patiently bear our trials, be lieving that all things if rightly used will lit us for the enjoyment of per fect happiness hereafter. DON'T QIYE I'R Among some skaters was a boy so small and so evidently a begin ner that his frequent mishaps ; awakened the pity of a tender hearted, if not wise, spectator. "Why, sonny, you are getting all bumped up," she said. "I would not stay on the ice and keep falling down so; I'd just come off and watch the others." The tears of the last last downfall were still roll ing over the rosy cheeks, but the child looked from his adviser to the shining steel on his feet, and answered, half-indignantly, "I did not get some new skates to give up with; I got 'em to learn how with." The whole philosophy of earthly discipline Was in the reply. Life S j hard tasks are never sent for us "to give Up Will):" they are always intended to awaken strength, skill and courage in learning how to master them Forward.

Do You Pray for Tai'i Child nrately, nnd h.v Name? A young moihtr made it her daily practice to carry her little ones in supplication to the throne of grace, ami yet complained of a want of faith and definiteness in asking lui them the influence of the I Inly Spirit. "lo you pray for each child separately, and by name?" in quired the pastor. "No, that has never been my habit," was the reply. ' I think it of much importance as a help to our faith and to the clearness and intensity of our de sire in their behalf. You prny with them, I trust, as well as for them?" "Sometimes I do, but not of ten." "Let me persuade you, then, to take your liule son and daughter, each separately, to the place of prayer, and kneeling with them before the Lord, tell Him the name, the daily history, the spe cial need of each, and see if your heart is not opened to plead for them as you have never done be fore." Tears were in the eyes of the young mother as she said, with trembling lips, "I'll try." As evening came she had not forgotten hir pr inNc. 1 4. ..s .. saw that Sarah, her daughter, w unusally peevish, she thought it best to take her little son first to her chamber. Willie was a bright and pleasant boy of five years, and when his mother whispered her wish to pray with him he glai'ly put his hand in hers and knelt by her side. As he heard his name mentioned before the Lord a ten der hush fell upon his young spir it, and he clasped his mother's j fingers more tightly as each peti ; tion for his special need wasbreath ! ed into the ear of his Father in : heaven. And did not the clinging 1 to that hand warm her heart to new and more frequent desire as she poured forth her supplication to the Hearer and Answerer of pray er. When the mother and child rose from their knees Willie's face was like a rainbow smiling through ! tears. i "Mamma, "said he, "I am glad you j told Jesus my name; now He'll i know me Vi'lien I get to heaven. 1 And when kind angels that carry little children to the Saviour take tne and lay me in His arms, Jesus will look at me so pleasant and say, "Why, this is Willie Huston! his 1 mother told me about him; how 1 happy I am to see you, Willie!" Won't that be nice, mamma?" Mrs. Huston never forgot the . scene. And when she was per mitted to see not only her dear Willie and Sarah but the children afterward added to her family cir cle, each successively consecrating the dew of their youth to God, she did indeed feel that her pastor's plan was "the more excellent way. she Mas resolved to rec-; ommend it to praying mothers by telling them this touching inci-, dent.
