ISA a mother, not long since, whose son had enlisted in tke army.. I expected tu load her sad and disconsolate, for tke .young.sol dier was an only son, and was very much be loved at home. But, to my surprise, she was cheerful and happy. " Merwin lice gone," said she, and I may never see him again ; but I can not make myself unhappy about it. I have given him to God, and wherever the Lord's service takes him he must go. I know he will distinguish , himself wherever he is, for he has already proved himself a great con queror." "So young as he is I" I exclaimed ; "how ?" "He has cotquered ;limey," replied the mother, " and you know what the Bible says about that; "Oh, yes, indeed," said I; " but I thought your Merwin was one of those who, find it very easy to be good.. There is a great dif ference in children. Some are so amiable and gentle, that when they become Christians *you see but little change in their outward conduct, and some—" " But my son. was not one of those," said she, interrupting me. He was born with a hot, lery temper. It used to frighten me almost, when he was Nothing but a baby, and I hardly dared to think what would become of him when he grew older. I prayed a great deal . abourit, and talked, and labored to help him to overcome his naughty, pas sionate spirit. An d he began. very early to try to govern himself. I recollect, when he Sgas not more than four years old, he had been very much provoked about something, and I could see the fire kindling in his eye and the color rising in his cheek. But he kept very still until his anger had subsided, and then he came running to me, threw his arm's - around my neck, and bursting -into tears, he cried, Kiss me, mamma—kiSs`me —Tve overcome.' "That's beautiful?" I exclaimed. " Many a time," the mother continued, "have I seen him struggle with his hasty, angry feelings, until by degrees it grew ea sier for him to control his temper ; and now I can truely say I believe, by the grace of. God, he has conquered himself. And among the qualifications for good soldiership, that is one of the very best, I think." I thought so too, as I repeated to myself the words of the Bible to which Merwin B.'s mother had alluded. You will find them, lit tle reader, in Prov. 16 82. "He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and, he that ruleth hiS than he that taketh a city." And I felt as if I. wanted the little boys to become conquerors in this same sense. No matter if you are not called to be sol diers, to arch at the call of your country to the battle field and fight. You may be called of Godto conquer enemies elsewhere. You lily be called to govern and - direct others. Whatever may be your duty in life, the best preparation you can make is to learn to govern yourself. An angry spirit is a terrible enemy. It comes upon ;you so suddenly that it takes you unawares, throws you off your guard, and has vanquished you before you have time to think. Then, if you are on the watch, it is so strong, so furious, so unwilling to listen to the Voice of reason, that if you are not well armed, and if:you have not helpers close by, you are most likely to be beaten. So, dear boys, it becomes you te , he on the look out all the while for it. As Jesus said, " Watch and pray, lest ye enter into temp tation." You must have your armor on, too, always. Never venture to lay it aside for a moment. If you do, you will, lam ;sure, be overcome. And more than all, do not live very far away from God, who alone is able to make you conqueror over this dreadful enemy. If you live near him, he will pro tect you. He will teach'your hands to war, and your fingers to fight ; will encourage you in the heat of the conflict with his smile and whispers of comfort and love, and will give you victory. Better than all, he will bring you at last up to his own home, put a crown upon your head, and seat you upon a throne of glorious triumph in the heavenly kingdom of Jesus Chriit ; for hear what Jesus has said: " To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me on my throne, even as I also over came, and am set down with my Father in his throne."—Aunt Winnie's Stories. 'Tis better to have the work of Christ in our hearts, than the person of Christ in our houses, —N. Y. Evening Post THE LITTLE HYPOCRITE. A PIECE of cake was lying on the corner of the sewing Machine, and two littlB chil drenf Mary and Willie, were sitting close by, at an open window, eating the bread-and-but ter part of their noon luncheon. "Mamma," said Willie, may we have that cake when we have eaten all our crusts up ?" "Yes, my dear," answered his mother ; " I will break it for you." So saying, she took the cake, and broke it in two pieces. She meant to have divided it evenly, but by mis take one bit happened to be larger than the other. There was not much difference, only just enough to be noticed distinctly. Then she offered the cake to the children. * The small piece was nearest. Mary; hilt when the child put out her 'Wind to take her share, in stead of taking what was next her, she reach ed over for the other piece. The selfishness of the action diapleased her mother, and she quickly withdrew her hand, and divided the cake herself, giving the larger portion tolit tle Willie, and the smaller to Mary. At the same time she asked, looking into Mary's face, "Why did you not take the piece nearest to you ?" Why did you reach over for the other Mary colored, and was evidently disap pointed ; but she answered her mother quite promptly..." Wasn't that the smallist ?" said she; "and isn't it generous to take the small est piece ?" " You did it for the 'sake of being gen erous—was that it r'asked her mother, look ing at her little girl, with, great seriousness. Then she paused a moment, but added; " Well, generous children- ought to be rewarded ; so I have given you thelarger." Mary understood very well what her moth er meant, and she too loeked very Sober. She knew she had not spoken thetrath in her heart. She knew that she ,had fried to get the larger piece of cake, and was going to leave the smaller for her little brether ; and she was dissatisfied, besides, feeling that she had clone very.wickedly. She did not raise her eyes, hut went on eating her lunch with out a word, arid when her little brother asked her to look out of the window to; seer something very funny, she did hot seem take much notice. That night, when she was going to bed, her mother said to her, " Have you been a good child to-day, Mary 7" " Yes'm, I guess so, pretty good,". was the reply. " Can you think of any wrong thing you have done ?" . "Nothing in particular," answered. Mary " Have you been truthful ?" ailed her mother, speaking that word trutlifta with a good deal of solemnity and emphasis:. The little girl dropped her eyes, but she did not (peak a word. ' "Mary, did you really think you vfere taking the smaller piece of cake-to-day ?1, " I didn't say it was the smallest," in siered Mary. "Was that a he?" ";You tried to make me think that yoli considered it the smaller," replied her moth " and that you were acting very gene-, rously to take it. That was a double sin. You were selfish and deceitful , too. You were a hypocrite." "What. 18 that mamma ?" " A hypocrite is one who tries to make other people think he is better than he really is. Sometimes he succeeds in decefiring others, and sometimes not, but he never 8110- ceeds in deceiving God. You didn't succeed; in deceiving me to-day, for I saw through it all. And, Mary, what do you think God thought of your conduct ?" "I don't know," said Mary, beginning to look more troubled. " And in addition to the selfishness and the hypocrisy, you really told a lie," added her mother, "or rather you didn't speak the truth, for you said, Wasn't that the small est piece ?' Now, God was looking right into your heart,' and he saw just, what you thought. He saw that you did not speak the truth in your heart. Oh, my dear child, I can not tell you hoW much displeased he is with such wickednetis. If you are a. hypocrite and a deceiver, you can never go to heaven. There is 0 passage inthe Bible I want you to learn to-morrow, Mary." So in the morning before breakfast, Mary got the little Bible, and her mother found these verses : "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle ? Who Shall dwell in thy holy hill ? Ile that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh, the truth, in his heart."—lbia. TRAINING CHILDREN. " TRAIN up a child in the Way he should go, and when he is old he will not, depart from it." There is a, natural prinCiple re cognized here: Nowhere is the close con nection between cause and. effect more fully illustrated than, in family government and its consecfnences. Facts, that should encour age to parental ,fidelity and unwavering faith, are, occurring every day. Of one hun dred 'theological students gathered at one time, within a few years, in the Seminary . at Andover, ninety-eight were the sons,of be . lieving parents. What a, testimony Two fellow-pilgriins to the Heavenly City, both of themlarents, were conversing in my hearing seine " three days since. The looks of one of them are bleached 'with the snow of almost SeventY winters, and as he speaks of the companion of his youth,,; who entered;' upon her rest a dcizen years age, it is evident that his heart beats with a quicker pulsation at the thought of soon joining her in celestial mansions. "I have five children," said he • to his companion, a clergyman in middle life ; " three of my sons and my Only daugh ter give`gooci evidence that they are born from above ; the youngest is very virtuous—per fectly moral,,but I want to, see him experi ence that great Change,, without which no man can seethe kingdom of God." " And," continued he, after a little pause, "I am not without faith that I shall. I have faith in the efficacy of his pious mother's prayers, that they will prevail. "I," responded his companion, "am one of nine children, all now in mature life. With two exCeptions we are professors of religion. One of these ap p ears to be a Christian. I have never known the remaining onekto be under deep religious conviction, but my father always said he bi- Revd he would be brought into the fold." Yes, sainted father, we too believe that you will see all your jewels adorning your Sa viour's diadem. A Christian father was, two oethree years since, speaking of sending his two sons to college, when they should be old enough. "13 tit, said the person whom he • 14s ad , dressing, " do you not fear to expose them to the temptations of colle,ge-life without the safe-guard of piety ? " " They will be Christians;. I have no dinbt of it," was his earnest reply, given with such manifest con fidence as no one would have wished to distrust. An hour since, ':I learned that these ;two boys, Anittiritit. gr,c,.oqttriait litli::.-0!:11..t:-0...t..;!.(;-:f.v.,4„„iftft,...0--t. one of whom is expected to enter college next autumn, are both deeply interested in the subject of their personal salvation. Yes, " they will be Christians," and may this prove to them the'acceptedlime and the day of salvation. Forty years ago there lived in a retired hamlet of New England a man who professed to .be an infidel. He never prayed in his family; he never visited the sanctuary. Eight sons and daughters surrounded his family-board,, and, strange as. it may seem, he not only trained them with scrupulous care and. fidelity in habits of the strictes morality, but taught them to respect religion and its ordinances. He required of them proMpt, unquestioning obedience to parental authority, and used this authority to enforce more careful attention to the precepts of the Bible, than, it is feared, some Christian pa rents exact. He required them to keep the. Sabbath by refraining from play, while children, and from all labor, as they ad vanced in years. He expected them to at tend church regularly, both in the morning and afternoon. A falsehood, an oath, or any other open violation of the moral law brought his severe punishment' upon' the offender. What was the result? These children hon ored their father, and not one of them was ever known to b'e guilty of any gross immo rality. They are all living to-day, and are respected in the various neighborhoods Where, they reside. • Not only so,—every one of them is connected with some evangelical church, and several - of.thein are regard.dflas eminent 'Christians. If such be, the - result of training children in the way they should go .braparent , who never himself walked in that way, what may not be expected. from fidelity accpm pani.ed by the,powerful influence.of holy ex, -ample, and with the blessing of *God-secured by covenant ? • Surely` as a man soweth, so shall he reap, and none may, labor with fuller expectation of the golden harvest than they who cast the good seed of the kingdom into the fertile soil of youthful minds and hearts. The promises of God are all yea and amen in Jesus Christ. Christina' parents labor on,—let =your faith never, falter. When you gather 'your 'chil dren at the family altar, when you lay your hand in blessing on their young heads, and. !whisper in their ear your yearning desires that they may love and serve your Saviour,— when you.teach thein the 'great principles of the Bible remember that you are building around them walls, of defence which they can -not `easily bver-legi , 41 to walk in the couns - el of the ungodly, and to stand in the way of sinners."--Boston Recorder.
