THE FAMILY CIRCLE.
From the Baptist Family Magazine.
The Flight of Human Hours.
BY WELCOME DRYER.
What is life ? ask the aged—
With a feeble moan,
Pointing backwards, he will tell thee,
“ ’Tis an evening gone.”
What is honor, wealth, or fame ?
What is earthly power ?
The shadows of a storm-beat wing, ’
On some lonely tower.
Friends and kindred, where are they ?
Gone ! like sweetest dream ;
Meeting, parting—now they beckon,
From across Death’s stream.
Mark, frail man, the dial’s face,
Fast the shadows creep,
Warning thee of pwlfcents passing,
And the grave’s long sleep.
Swiftly glide the precious grains,
From Time’s wrinkled hands ;
Write the record of some action
On the priceless sand.
Action which thy heart approves;
Action kind and just;
This, alone, survives the mortal,
Blossoming in dust.
Brookside Cottage, Ind.
A WORD TO GIRLS ANDBOYS—
GOOD MANNERS.

heaven! and may Igo there too! O
Jesus, pity a poor child, and pity my
poor dear mother, and help me to say,
‘Thy will be done!’ ” He ceased, and
the visitor opening the door, approach
ed the bedside of the poor woman.
“Your child has been praying with
you,” said he : “I have listened to his
prayer.” .
“Yes,” said she, making an effort to
rise, “he is a dear child ; thank God
he has been sent to a Sunday school.
I cannot read myself, but he can, and
he has read the Bible to me ; and I
hope I have reason to bless God for it.
Yes, I have learned from him that I
am a sinner ; I have learned from him
of Jesus Christ; and I do—yes, I do,
as a poor sinner—put my trust in him.
I hope he will forgive me ; I hope he
has forgiven me. lam going to die;
but I am not afraid. My dear child
has been made the means of saving my
soul. Oh, how thankful am I that he
was sent to a Sunday school!” Such
was the hope full of immortality, with
which the sufferer awaited death ; and
thus in the providence of God, this
dear child, educated at a Sunday
school, became the spiritual parent of
his mother.
If yon will see the sinfulness of sin
look upon Christ crucified. Christ on
the cross is a glass wherein you may
see the sinfulness of sin.

Parents should never put away their
own youth. They must never cease to
be young. Their sympathies and sen
sibilities should be always quick and
fresh. They must be susceptible.—
They must love that which God made
the child to love. Children need not
only government, firm and mild, but
ItenstaMifthec-mpathy warm, and tender.

elaborate. Instructors in Seminaries and Colleges

REASONS WHY THIS MACHINE IS UNIVER
SALLY PREFERRED OVER ALL OTHERS.
1 BECAUSE it is the only Sewing Machine in
• the world ever invented, so constructed as
to fully meet.the demands of families, for general
use.

of order.

e very third stitch is cut.
4. It is not a Shuttle Machine.
6. Itsews with two needles, making any length
stitch desired.

all trouble of winding thread is avoided ; while the
same Machine can be adapted at pleasure, by a
mere change of spools, to all varieties of work.
7. The same Machine runs silk or linen thread,
and common spool cotton, with equal facility.
8. This Machine will sew in the slieves of a coat
with the same ease andfacility that it sewsa straight
seam.
9. This Machine can be run to make one thou
sand five hundred stitches per minute.
10. The seams are elastic as the most elastic
fabric, so that it is free from all liability to break in
washing, ironing or otherwise.
11. The stitches made by this machine are more
beautiful than any other made either by hand or
machine. For sale by
