§mt\\ Simbev 6;ueth\ ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION $2 50. 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. J. A.
