LooKEr On. ; For the PnoniBiTioxisT. i - . Habit. When we stop and look upon our fellow beings in the various occupations of life and see one here who is prospering and making ' a success of everything " he I in ¬ clines hi- attention to and see an ther yonder who hasmade one failure after another t-nd seems now to be going down the much traveled road of destruction and delation, we pause here to ask the ques tion, what is the cause of this vast degree of difference bet wees two human beings who are to the outward world apparently alike. But to answer this question we can on ly say it is in nine cases ont often due to the habits formed in early life; for as the youth is so will be the man. W e are con stantly forming habits either good or bad, and they are at first like, the gentle brook flowing from the fountun which at nrst may be stopped by a handful of sand , but as it rolls on, running noiselessly through the beautiful green meadows many times unnoticed by the passers by, grows con tinually m strengtn till it becomes , so powerful that it laugh to scorn the gen ius of man striving to invent some work by which he may still its raging b llows or command its constant flow to cease. Such is the mode bv which habits are formed; they steal upon us unaware and many times we are unconscious of leing their fatal victims till we wak up. as it were, from a seemingly state of insensibil ity to find ourselves bound by the strong bands which thus "mighty demoa, habit, has woven around us. The bad habits which the youth of sur land are liable to fall into and theredy be wrecked on the road of time are almost . innumerable bat one of the most lametable of these is the kabit of drinking that deadly po'son "al cohol in its varions forms, thus dafiling the temple eftho soul, which God has given us to bs used to glorify him instead of degrading it to the similtude of a beast. Oh! hw many a youth who has reached the stage of manhood looks over his past life with regret instead of with pleas ure, and remembers how easy it. w ould have been to have . st pped . the ha it of drink sfterthe first few glasses, but hav ing continued in his sinful custom he now finds himself bound by the. irresistible bands of intemperance and doomed to et ernal destruction unless the merciful hand of God interposes. . : w -'-Ci how since we have een the deplorable condition the victim is in over whom the power of habit reigns supreme, how care1 ful we should be to form such habits s will be an honor to ourselves to our coun try and to our God.
