SATURDAY MORNING, NOV. 28
TOO LATE.
Too late, too lale was never said
Of morning sun, or bud, or (lower
The light is true to hill and glad".
The rose-bud opens to the hour;
The lark ne'er arks the da.v to wait.,
But man awakes too lute, too late - !
Too late, too late our anger burns—
The sun goes down before the (lame
To gentle words to kindness turns,
And we are scourged with inward shame
To think our breasts have harbored hate.
And pride bows down—to late, too late!
Too late, too late for public prayer,
• And words of worship have begun—
Onr cheeks are (lushed with hastening there,
We enter as the chant is done;
And, pausing at the temple gate,
We stand and say—“ Too late, too late !”
“Too late, too late!’’ who has not said l
The post is ont—the train has gone—
The time is fled—thwdebt not paid—
The aid not sought the work not done.
Neglect makes up life's weary freight.
And then wo cry—“ Too lale, too lale I”
——
To Parents.
The following has been published
before, but as it is seldom we meet
with so much truth and good sense,
comprised in so small a space, it will
do no harm to duplicate it:
A child beginning lo read becomes
delighted with a newspaper, because
he reads of names and things which
are very familiar, and ho will make
progress accordingly. A newspaper
in one year (says Mr. Weeks) is worth
n quarter’s schooling to a child, ami
every father must consider that sub
stautift) information is connected with
this advancement The mother of a
family, being one of its heads, and
having a more immediate charge of
children, should herself be instructed.
A mind occupied becomes fortified
against the ills of life, and is bred for
any emergency. Children amused by
reading or study, nre, of course, con
siderate aud more easily governed.
Ho w many thoughtless young men
have spent their earnings in a tavern
or grog shop, who ought to have been
reading! How many parents, who
# lmvc never spent twenty dollars for
books for their families, would gladly
have given thousands to reclaim a sou
or daughter who had ignorantly and
thoughtlessly fallen into temptation.
Don’t Po It! —Don’t linger where
your “love lies dreaming.” W T ake
her up and tell her to get breakfast.
Don’t turn up your nose at light
things of bread and taxation.
Don’t insult a poor man. His mus
cles may he well developed.
Dou’t put on a : rs in your new
clothes. Remember that your tailor
is suffering.
Don’t stand Still and point the way
to Heaven. Spiritual guide-boards
save but few sinners.
Don’t ask your pastor to prcacb
without notes. How else can he pay
his provision bill ?
.Don’t fret. The world will move
On ns usual when you are gone.
Don’t bo too sentimental. A dead
heart properly cooked will make a
savory meal.
Don't write long obituaries. Save
some of your kind words for the liv
ing. .
Don’t depend wholly on Spauld
ing’s glue. It wiil not mend a bro
ken promise.
recent medical writer pays:
“Sleep wherever von can—anywhere
when yon can get a chance; the great
want of the age is sleep.” This is not
always safe advice to follow, as one of
our townsmen (says a Northern co
temporary) knows to his sorrow. Ho
was recently afflicted with a bad cold,
and to core himself of it resorted to
the remedy of patting his fret in hot
water and drinking a tumblerful of
strong whiskey toddy, prescribed by
an aged and respected friend of the
family. Having got everything in
order for carrying out the prescrip
tion, he sat down by the fire, his feet
immersed in warm water and a tum
bler of smoking toddy by his side.
In this condition a sense of enjoyment
stole over him as he sipped the ex
hiliarating liquid, and he fell asleep.
His wife had gone to bod, and, on
awakening about three o’clock in the
morning, wondered why she was
alone, Going down stairs, she was
horrified to find her liege lord asleep
in his chair, the tire ont, his feet still
immersed in the water, over which a
cake of ice was forming, and an
empty tumbler on the chair beside
him. His cold isn’t a bit better.
JJST'This is an item not to be print
ed in the Sunday school books: A
crowd of bad boys went bathing in
Skunk river, lowa, on the Sabbath
day, and while in the Rev. Jubez
Lynne was reproving them and vain
ly endeavoring to induce them to
come out. A thunder storm came up
and the minister was killed by a flash
of lightning. None of the boys were
drowned.
Sleep. —The hours of sleep are thus
expressed in. a rhyme, the source of
which is doubtful:
Nature requires five,
Custom gives seven,
. Laziness takes nine,
* And Wickedness eleven.
BtaT'Toombs says he wishes his rec
ord was as good with his God as it is
with his country. We wish it was;
but if it is no better, we fear the old
man will neel his summer c ollies
hereafter.
