“Honot father and thy mother,” is the
, first commandment with promise—promise fts

its conception. ..A, mother’s lips first breathed
into, our cars those words of Holy writ, nndex
! minified 1 their general : Import: and from the
i time when the’story of gray-haired Elijah and
i his .youthful mockers first excited my young
imagination. the ren inspirit! for the white
■'haiiteof age, has grown with my growth and
strengthened'With'my strength. We sigh
i as we .think of the days When tile young were
„)Vppt to, bow before the - hoary head, and by
gpotTo. uncalled-for assiduities, strew roses in
. thb old man’s tottering path.
1' But those kindly customs have passed away.
I Thc:world grows selfish as it grows old: and
Age dimmed . eyes must turn homeward for
.site’s trembjing hands and tottering limbs.—

‘commandment with promise.
•No true - womanly Soul ever withdrew her
gentle hand from her poor old father and moth
er; no manly heart ever forgot the home loves
of his wayward childhood, or censed to hear
the echoes of a fond mother’s prayer. Often
Iht cares of this world and the decoitfiilness of
■riches may choke up the in bom aftectiona of
narrow souls; tut fes and far between is the
fondly.lovod child, who can bo so untrue to
himself Or his Maker as wholly forget the
mother who bore him.
Yet even with the holiest dictates of our
reasons and spUls, as with the wider applica
tion of the'totouiahament, has Fashioned in
sinuated her poisonous influence; and' the son.
fterchance, who his fond parent’s home re
uctantly and tearfully, to make his way in the
world, forgets, when fortune favors, to welcome
his rustic mother to his own luxury with the
same cordial embrace with which ho left her in
his childhood' holitc. Her dim old eyes, per
haps do- not catch readily the meaningless
courtesies of life, tmt theviook none the less
lovingly upon, her child, than when they
watched over his helpless infancy- Her with
ered hands may be larfee and -bony, and never
have Wno\tn a jt-wel; but none the less gently

WHO SHALT HAVE IT!
nr übiail it. Judah,
There is a Goddess, ami her name is Fame.
Slio had a crown of glory to bestowed.she as
sembled around her several applicants for so
grand an honor. Encb was anxious to bo the
■lucky rocipont, but it was reserved for him who
could present tho highest claims.
The first who approached was a venerable
man of long told years, bland in his nmnneVs
and mild in bis aspect. “And what my friend,
entitles you toll/ “asked her Lodyship. •»!
have devoted almost piy entire life (replied the
aged speaker) to study; I’Ve written and pub-
Ushed various philosophical works, my narao
and fame have been heralded through tho old
and now world, and man pays homage to my
genius.” “If is well,” (replied the Goddess,)
“t/our claims will bo duly considered.”
And ho who next approached, was a young
man of-quiet and genteel hearing, find it was
thus he presented his claims for the glorious
boon.
“ Lady, although not stricken In years, and
but just entering on the active scones of life, ns
short as has been my span, I’vo accomplished
something. lam the author of the well known
poem on ‘lmmortality,’ and the ablest editors
In the country have re-copied and eulogised my
productions.”
And there stood in the presence of (ho God.
dess one of military attire, bearing the honor
able scars of many a well fought battle, —who
spoke of “the dangers ho had braved, and how
lie had preserved untarnished the glorious stars
and stripes of Columbia’s banner.”
There came another applicant for the prize—
a plain blunt man attired in the garb ol a sailor,
whoso rough visage denoted that he had con
tended with many a storm on (ho fathomless
deep.
“ And what wonderful things have yeti per
formed /” asked the Goddess.
“Please your ladyship, from boyhood I’vo
boon n ranger on the ocean ; born, I might say,
on the mighty deep, the sea lias been my home;
often have I seen the lightning level onr spars,
and in many a violent gale I’ve heard the thun
der In its tremendous roar; I have rescued mauv
tVom a watery grave, and saved the infant us it
clung to the neck of its dying mother.”
lie who next appeared was of a careworn
brow; meagre was his looks, tattered were his
clothes mid chill penury had almost worn him
to bones.
II was thus he spoke to the Goddess: “Lady! 1
lam an author, a poor and ill-fed, 111-clnd mi- 1
thor? in my miserable garret I live a miserable '
existence for I nave not .wherewith to tcitisly
the cravings of hunger. It is the fate of genius 1
to contend with poverty, for ns a brother cllrig
cth to a brother, so the Ills of life cling unto me.
One half of my years hive been devotbdltoXlt
crature; long has been my struggle for‘a local
habitation ami a but us yet I have fviuul
neither; ami lady If thou woulcbt Jo an ad of
mfcfcy. bestow on wie thy crowh of glory, and
lamo andjortuno will bo mine.”
And next there camo onb of gay attlro and
lofty bearing,, who urged /lu.elapns cs tollows;
. '»« A merchant, Lady, extensively, engaged ip
commerce;'my Vrirehohies nto dOwucd with
merchandise, and my shlpr float on every sea;
‘ my crod)t.ls unbounded,, and my: responsibility
has never been doubted;.l’ve extended (ho
'hitherto taslfiefcd limits of tiado and over
stocked (lib countries of tlio earth with the com-
Ijmbditfoa.orrny own.”. ’
I Aad'lnsUy, thurc a)mo forward one.wbostood
abashed in (lie prcscpco’of (bo Goddess; lio
spokVvcry low and with greiit (hindlfy:-- . ’ I
“Lady, my claims arc very trivial,'and ridh
worthy to relate. I tun the friend of tho pfeof.
(lie unprotected, and the iatlierlets. 1 ’vo placed
bread _ou tho .empty tables ol Hie tamlßblng.oml
over hnvtrbucn (bo champion of tho weak against
(ho strong, over the foultsfmd failings of erring
humanity I. liato thrown tho broad mantle of
charity; and as 1 would that others should do
unto mo, have I done unto them. I'liavo clad
ond comforted the sorrow stricken orphan and
caused the widow’d heart to rejoice; I’vbplnD
god into tho midst of pain and sickness, and
bound up with the sweet words of pity tho ach
ing brow ; and liaVo spread the healing balm of
commiseration on the bleeding heart. Vet, la
dy, I claim no merit fur these things, in the do
ing uf which 1 but discharged my duty to my
follow creatures and my God, and hud 1 not boon
summoned to your presence, I should not have
appeared os (| competitor for a prixo, to which
f l am not entitled.”
And bo was about modestly withdrawing from
her presence, when the Goddess arrested his
press.
“Sir, to you alone bclongsray-crown of glory,
for you have richly earned it. > J bestow It on
(lie good man in preference to him who is great.
Great genius or groat talents, if not allied to
greatness of heart , avoileth nothing. True tame
consists In deeds of charity and brotherly love:
The Philosopher, (ho Poet, the Author, the
Mariner and the Merchant, may each ond at)
make (heir mark on (ho ago in which they live
and illustrate the truthfulness ol the beautiful
lines of my friend Longfellow, (hat:—
Lives of great men all remind us
Wo can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind ns
Footprints on tho sand of time;
Footprints (hat perhaps another,
Sailing o’er lire’s, solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again,

earthly crowns of glory shall wither and decay,

—which awaits the pure in heart nt (ho final
day.”

A few days since wo. happened (dcdnvcrfto
with two old-politicians, who,‘ln years gone by,
hnd beta zonlonaly opposed to each other, t As
they parted, wo expressed surprise ta olio, es
pecially as (ho other had travelled out" of his
way to assail'him with nidfo'fluth ; ordinary
warmth. Tho reply ;wns, “I never murscniy
, enmities. Life has troubles andonxleticscnough
in tho present, without hunting updtib ditlfcuU
ties of tho past.** Tho remark was full of wis
dom and philosophy. If wo keep constantly
before us, all the anxieties of former years—if
wo never forget or forgive an offence—if wo vex
and perplex ourselves in relation to thlngd that
have gone by—if.wo recall, revive and rcraourn
| the buried feuds of other periods—memory will
become a curse to us, and tho darkness of 'tho
pud will constitute a perpetual shadow, arid
chill, depress and annoy. If, moreover, wo do
not forgive others, how can we hopo for forgive
ness ourselves! If again, wo magnify Into seri
ous errors tho thoughtless indiscretion of a niHn
ol passion, of pique or ol prejudice, hnd foster
such errois for years—how cun wo look lor.a
more generous judgment in relation to our 6t\u
infirmities.
That frame of mind is most to be envied,
which is-ut peace with all the world,—which
feels that it Ims never wilfully committed n
wrong or Inflicted nt\ Iqjnry—and-that therefore
(here exists no Just cause or reason for hostili
ty or ill-will. Of course perfection cannot jbo
found on earth. AH are certain to err more.dr
less, but it is in (ho power ot all, cither to' ex
plain an unintentional wrong, or to maKo repa
ration; and (bis done, the cause for anger ofl
the part of the injured should cease. But how
often do wo hear individuals exclaim, ; ovcn.fo
tho rocelp^of ; n,slight injury. Unit they “will
never forgive”—nay, that they-“will pursue tho
olfendet to tho grave.”’•‘They,forget their owh
errors dud infirmities, and often mistake orimi
opprnhqnd tho fact*. Difficulties frequently dfc
cur, because of contrary views. One person
