THE GERMS OF THE BEAUTIFUL.
“Scatter the germs of the beautiful!
By the wayside let them fall.
That the rose may bloom by the cottage
gate,
And the vine on the garden wall.
Cover the rough and the rude of earth
With a veil of leaves and flowers,
And mark with the opening bud and
cup
The march of summer hours.
“Scatter the germs of the beautiful !
In the holy shrine of home;
Let the pure, the fair, and the graceful
there,
In their lovliest lustre come;
Leave not a trace of deformity
In the temple of the heart,
But gather around its heart the gems
Of Nature and of Art.”
The girl who is ‘the flower of the
family is the one who knows how to
use the flour of the family.
Whatever happens, don't become a
sour old man or woman. Old age
should be a cheerful period of life, wheh
the lengthened shadows are softened
by the setting sun, when quiet twilight
steals on apace, soon to be followed by
the long night of rest which remains to
all living.
The first person to whom Christ ap-
peared after the resurrection, was a
woman. During all the ages that have
come since that first Easter morning,
whenever there: was a word to be
spoken for the Master, a tender ser-
vice to be performed in His name, a
cup of cold water tobe given to some
wayfarer, or a prayer to be offered for
some sin-sick soul, woman has always
been the first on the scene.
Jesus called a little child to repre-
sent who should be the greatest in the
Kingdom of Heaven. No long-faced
elder of the church was brought, nor
smileless member of the monastery,
but a prattling child in all its innocence
and mirth ; and unless we are convert-
ed from our austere ways, and become
in habits and tastes like unto a child,
it is declared the door will be barred
against us.
If young men wishfto succeed in bus-
iness, they must not spend their time
and money in simply having a good
time. They must not be discontented
with the little place in which they are
in, because they think they are too big
for it. The way to get into a large
place is to outgrow the one you are in,
grow until it is so smal that it will not
hold you any longer. A man who sits
shrunk up and worthless in a little
place, because he thinks it is not worth
while to grow enough to fill that, has
little prospect of getting into larger
ones. Fill the place that you are in.
Fit yourself for higher usefulness. To
do that you must do something besides
play.
Infancy and innocence are synony-
mous. The tiny child does not speak
in vulgar or profane language, does not
drink rum or use tobacco, does not
cheat or wrong its companions,—it only
grows into these evils as it learns them
from its elders; and the teacher is not
unfrequently some member of ‘the
household, maybe a religious professor
with his mouth stained with narcotics
and his breath stained with alcohol,
and his words unchaste, and his habits
What a happy
world this world would be if the inno-
cence of childhood’s tender years could
be carried through age. So while we
are training them in the way they
should walk, let us watch our own
footsteps, and not cut off their harm-
less mirth to suit our tastes that have
grown sombre with age and care. Let
us not mistake gloom for piety, or a
broken spirit for gentle submission to
lawful authority.
Never be ashamed of your early sur-
-roundings because you are living in a
more refined place at present. Do not
be ashamed of your old father and
mother when they come to visit you,
because their manners are a little old-
fashioned, don’t try to smuggle them
in and out of your house. Call in your
best friends, and say to ‘them,
my father and my mother.” Have you
forgotten what a hard time your father
and mother had in the early days of
life, depriving themselves of the neces-
sities of life in order to save and leave
something for their children when they
are ready to lay off their earthly toil.”
A RECORD OF BLOOD.
The disaster on the Pennsylvania
railroad at Mineral Point, near Johns-
town, on the 22nd inst, gives special
point to the record of railroad wrecks
recently compiled by the New York
Tribune. The period covers only six
months, but the list is a frightfully
long one. It is a record of incompe-
tence or-negligence, or both, that is ap-
palling, and it fully justifies the deter-
mination of legislative bodies through-
out the country to bring the railroads
under decent restraint. The Tribune’s
catalogue of the killed and maimed in
recent railroad “accidents,” including
the wreck at Mineral Point, is as fol-
lows:

Pennsylvania officials have persist-
ently claimed, and the claim has been
generally allowed, that for safe and
conservative management their corpor-
ation stands at the head of American
railway systems, in a class by itself.
But this claim will have to be aban-
doned. An analysis of the wrecks and
casualties above enumerated shcws
that this model railway has to its credit
practically one-seventh of the injured
and considerably more than one-sev-
enth of the killed in this frightful sum-
mary. Only the Baltimore and Ohio
can claim a bloodier distinction, while
the New York Central and all other
lines fall far below it.
The situation, bad as it is,is aggra-
vated in the present instance by the
boorish inhumanity of the officials in
withholding information of the disaster
from the press. Instead of promptly
taking the people into their ‘confidence
and frankly avowing the determina-
tion to place the responsibility where it
belongs, they have recourse to the
familiar policy of concealment and
evasion, and the public is expected to
once more exonerate this model com-
pany from blame and set the harrow-
ing affair down to the account of Prov-
idence. :
