The ant, within tho eavern deep, Who would bid ua labor, too, And writea upon ita tiny heap— " There's work enough to do.” To hare a heart for those who weep, Tho sottish drunkard win ; To rescue all the children, deep In ignorance and sin ; To help the poor, the hungry feed, To give him coat and shoe, To see that all can write and read, "Is work enough to do." The time it short—the world is wide, And much has to be done ; The wondrous earth, and all ita pride, Will vanish with the sun ; The moments fly on lightning wings, And life's uncertain, too ; We’ve none to waste on foolish things, “There’s work enough to do." The planets, at their Maker’s will, Move onward in their cars, For Nature’s wheel is nevsT still, Progressive as the stars ! The leaves that flutter iu the air, And summer’s brettea woo, One solemn truth to man declare— “ There’s work enough to do.” Who, then, can sleep when all around Is active, fresh, and free ? Shall Man—creation’s lord—he found Less busy than the bee 7 Our courts and alleys are the field, If men would search them through, That best the sweats of labor yield, And “work enongh to do.” Children at Play.—•* 1 never was so mortified in all my lire,” said a mo ther, “ as once when I heard one of my little girls, a make-believe mother, scold ing a doll, word for word, and tone for tone, as I was scolding Tom the day before. It wa3 certainly not a pleasing reflection.” Yes, go to the children at play, if you want to learn what influences are really educating them, for they act out the im fressions most strongly made on them. t is not the more positive forms of train ing which at first or more influentially teli upon their young minds, but our unconscious selves, our habitual looks, acts, tones, expressions, which like the air they daily breathe, daily mold and vitalize them. If you want to under stand your child, see him at play. What variety, what heartiness, wbat soul on the playground 1 How bound ing, free, outspoken, for good or for evil! Two things about play. 1. Children can play on very small capital. A little girl had nothing to play with but two empty spools. She named them Anne and Jane; and the endless diversity of character and con duct they took was marvelous. Tho e children are not the happiest who have the fullest baby houses. The scantier the material, the more the mind draws upon itself, and its very activity becomes a spring of unfailing enjoyment. 2. Let children make what they want as far as can be. A box of tools, a ball of twine and a shingle, will educate more than a year’s schooling. Our boys never enjoyed their gift of a check board —a gfad surprise, quickly over — as we in our childhood enjoyed con structing one; marking off the squares, papering them, hunting the wood pile for a crow stick, and sawing off the men with nil necessary finish. It took days of most enjoyable work. Nor do our little girls enjoy their doll's bedstead as ■we did, who manufactured one. Give the constructive faculties room and opportnnitv, and your children have a perpetual fund of healthy excitement to draw on. Happiness. —Now let me tell yon a secret —a secret worth knowing. This looking forward after enjoyment don’t pay. From what we know of it we would as soon chase butterflies for a living or bottle up moonshine for cloudy nights. The only true way to be happy is to take the drops of happiness as God gives them to us every day of our lives. The boy must learu to be happy while he is plodding over his lessons; the apprentice while he is learning his trade ; the merchant while he is making hi3 fortune. If he fails to learn this art, he will be sure to miss his enjoyment when he gains what he sighs lor. So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, that movos To that mysterious realm, where ea:h shall take His chamber in the silent balls ol death, Thou go not like the quarry slave at night Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who draws the drapery of hie conch About him and lies down to pleasant dreams Patino Debts. — One of our religious exchanges has the following strong remarks on this subject. They drive the nail on the head and clinch it: Men may sophisticate as they please. They can never make it right, and all the bankrupt laws in the universe can not make it right for them not to pay their debts. There is a sin in this neglect as clear, and as deserving church discipline as in stealing or false swearing. He who violates his promise to pay, or withhold the payment of a debt, when it is in his power to meet the engagement, ought to feel that in the sight of all honest men he is a swin dler. Religion may be a very comfort able cloak under which to hide, but if religion does not make a man deal justly, it is uot worth having.
