That which contains thegreatest import- rnco, that which encloses the most tremend- ous opportunities, that which of earthly things is most watched by other worlds, that which has beating against its two sides all the ctomitlss, is the cradle 'The grave is nothing in importance compared with it, for that is only a gully that wo step across in a : second, but the cradle has within ita now cternity, just born and newer to cease. When three or four years ago the ObSo river over- flowed its banlcs and tho wil} frethets swopt down with them harvests and cities, one day was found floating on the bosom of the waters a cradle with a child in it all unhurt, wrapped up snug and warm, and its bluoeyes looking into the blue of the open heavens. It was mentioned as something extraordinary. But overy cradle is, with its young passenger, floating on the swifé current of thecenturies, deep calling to deep, Ohlos and St, Lawrences and Mississippis of influence, bearing it on- ward. Now what shall» be done with this new lifo recontly Inunched? Teich bim an eventing prayer? Thatis important, but not snough. Hear fiim as soon as ho can recité gome gospel hymn or catechism? That is im- portant, but not enough. Every Sabbath afternoon read him a Biblostory?t That is important, but not enough. Oncein a while a lesson, once in a while & prayer, once in a while arestraining influencat All theso are importimt, but not enough. Each one of these influences is only a link, and it will not hold him. in the tremendous emergencies of life, Leb it bo constant instruction, constant prayer, constant application of good influ- ences, a long line of consecutive Impressions, reaching from , his first year to his fifth, an from his fifth year to his tenth, and from his tenth year to his twentisth \Mike a chain |\ . Spasmodic education, paroxysmal disci+ plize, cceasional fAdelfty, amount to nothing. .You can as easily hold an anchor by one 1 as hold a child to the right by tsolated and in- termittont faithfulness, The example must connect with the instruction The conver- sation must combine with the actions, 'The week day consistency mush conJjoin with the Bunday worship. Have family prayers by all means; but bo petulant and inconsistent - and unreasonable in your household, and your family prayers will bem blasphemous farce, So greatin our times aro the temp- tations of young men to dissipation and oung women to social follies, that itis most {mportant that tho first cighteen years of their life bo charged witha religions power that will hold them when they get out of the harbor of home inte tho stormy ocean of active life. There is such a thing as Impressing.children so powerfully with good, that sixby years will have no more power toofface it thansixty minutes, What arough time that young man has in doing wrofg, carefully nurtured as be was!

If ovil is contaglous, I am glad to say that good is also catching. People goup into the hill country for physical health; so if you would bp strong in your soul get your- self up off the lowlands-into the altitudes of high moral association. For many of the cireumstances of our life we are not responsible. Torour parentagewearenotre- sponsible, For the place of our nativity, not responsible; for our features, our stature, our color, not responsible; for the family ro- lation in which we ware born, for our nat- ural tastes, for our mental character, not responsible, But we are responsible for the associates that we chooseand the moral in- fluences under which wo put ourselves. Character seeks an equilibrium. A. B. isa good man, V. Z.isa bad man, Let them now voluntarily choose each other's society. A. B. will lose a partof his goodness, and 'Y. Z. a part of his badness, and they will grad- ually approach cach other in character, and will finally stand on the same level. Ono of the old painters refused to look at poor pict- ures because, hosaid, it damaged his style. 4A. musician cannot afford to dwell among discords, nor. can a write afford to peruse books of inferior style, nor an architect walk out among dispropor- tioned structures, And no man or woman was ever so good as to be able to afford to choose evil associations, Therefore I said, have it a rule of your life to go among those better than yourselves Cannot find them# Then what a pink of perfection you must bol When was your character completed? What a misfortuno for the saintly and angelic of heaven that they are not onjoying the im- proving influence of your society! Ab, if you cannot find those bettor than yourself, i# is because you aro ignorant of yourself,. « Woe unto you, Beribes and Pharisees, hypo- crites! But, as Iremarked in the opening, in sacred and in all styles of literaturo achain means not orly adoroment and royalty of nature but sometimescaptivity. And Isupposo there are those in that sense deliberately and per- sistently making m chain. Now here is a young man of good physical health, good manmers and good education, How shall he: put together enough links to makes chain for the down hill road? I will give himsome directions. Firstlet him smoke, If he cannot stand cigers, lot him try cigarettes. I think cigarettes will help him on this read a little more rapidly because the doctors say thero is more poison in them, and so he will be helped along faster, and I have the more confidence in proposing this because about fifty of the first young men of Brooklyn dar ing the last year wers, according tc tho doctors' reports, killed by cigarettes, Let him drink light wines first, or ale or lager, and gradually ho will be able to take something stronger, and as all styles of strong dring are more and more adulterated, his progress will boe facilitated, With the old time drinks a man seldom got delirium tremens before 80 or 40 years of ago; now he can got ths maduess by the time beis 18. Letliim play cards, enough money pub up always toadd interestto the game, If the father and mother will play with him, that . willEholp by way of countenancing the habit, . And it will be such a pleasant thing to think over in the day of judgment, when the parents give account for the elevated man ner in which they have reared their chil dren, Every plensont Sunday afterncon take a carriage ride and stop at the hotels on either side tho road for Sabbath refresh ments, Do nob lot the old fogy pre- judices against Babbath breaking domk nate you.

So, Lurge | you to. precipitancy, rather than slow deliberation, and I will write all over your soul tha words of Christ Xsaw inscribed on the monument of Erincess Elisabeth in the Tele of Wight, the words to which her index finger pointed in the open Bible whon she was found dead ih her bed after adifetime of trouble: \Come unto me, all ye who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.\ Is theroa drunkard here?

You have looked at your hand and' arm only as being useful now, and a curious | \; pleco of anatomy, but-there is something about your band and arm that mniake me think they gro an undeveloped wing. And if you would know what possibilities ara suggested by that, ask the eagle that has looked close into the eye of the noonday sun; or ask tho alabatross that has struck its claw into the black locks of thoe tempest; or ask the condor that this morning is descending to the highest peak of Chimborazo. Your right hand and arm and your left haud and arm, two undeveloped wings, better get ready for the ompyrean, Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wing, Thy better portion trace. There bave been chains famous in the world's history, such as the chain which fas toned the prisonerof Chillon to the pillar, into the staple of which I have thrust my hand, on the isolated rock of the Lake of Geneva; such as the chain which the Russian exile clanks on his way to the mines of Si- berin; such as the chain which Zenobia, the captive queen, wore when brought into the presence of Aurelian. Ays, thero have been races in chains, and nations in chains, and there has been a world in chains; but, thank God, the last one of them shall be proken, and the Hbera power of the omnipotent Gospel the shackles shall fall from the last neck and the last arm and tho last foot. But these shattered fet. ters shall all be gathered up again from the dungeons and the work houses and the mines and the rivers and tho fields, and they shall again boe welded and again strung link to link, and polished and t: ormed until this world which has wandered off and been a re- creant world and a lost world, shall by thab chain be lifted and hung to the throne of God, no longer the iron chain of oppres sion, but the golden chain of redeeming love, There let this old ransomed world swing for ever! Roll on, yo years; roll on, yo days; roll on, yo hours, and hasten the glorious consummation! * In a Bowory Resiaurant. Four young men walked arti in arin up the Bowery tho other day about noon. They enteréd a restaurant, sat down at a table with four chairs and looked over a bill of fare, They all ordered vegetabfe soup, roast beef with macaroni, and rice pudding, One of them had a bronze complexion and glossy black locks; the second very light skin and hair; the third freckled face and red hair; the fourth dun complexion, dark brown hair and full beard. The black haired and the light haired spoke English with a broken ac- cent,. The first man called for half a bottle of claret, the second for a glass of lagor, the third for whisky straight and the fourth for a mint julep, I6 was ascertained that the first was an Italian, the second a Saxon, the | third an Irishman and the fourth an Amer- fean, They wore the four salesmen in a clothing store not far from Chatham squhre, kept by an enterprising Hebrew, who draws the main part of his business from people belonging to the five races represented by them and himself, As far as possible eve customer is waited on by a salesman of own blood. It is said, however, that they are all vory often mistaken in the selection of their customers, and find that it is hard to judge a man by his appearance.-Now York un. A Country Girl in the Clty.
