POETRY. Duty. Look not mournfully back to the past, Th• present’s the hour of duty; And life, be it ever so dark, Has moments of sunshine and beauty. Look up, for the sun is still shining, Although a black cloud may be there; Remember the bright silver lining From under the cloud will appear. Sit not with thy hands idly folded; Each one has a duty to do; And if life has its struggles for others, Why have only pleasures for you ? Seek not to pluck only the roses. Faint not in the heat of the strife; Rut put on the armor of courage To tight in the battle of life. Look round on the highways and gather Not only the flowers so sweet, Rut take up the stones that are bruising Some weary, worn traveller’s feet. Seek out some cool spring in the desert, And give to the lips that are dry; Speak a kind word of hope or of comfort To each sorrowing one who goes by. Pluck a thorn from some poor bleeding bo- [srau, Make strong some faint h-art for the strife. Rouse up the weak ones who have fallen Ah ! this is the mission of life. Ask not if the world will applaud you; No matter, since duty is done; There is one who will better reward you With the crown vou have faitbfullv won. it was before Him. And when I came up here with my father, she kissed me and told me to remember the ninth commandment, and that God would hear every word I said.” “Do you believe this?” asked the judge, while a tear glistened in his eye and his lip quivered with emo- | tion. “Yes sir,” said the child, with a j voice that showed that her tion of it was perfect.

The following account of asingnlar transaction in a court of law furnish es a beautiful and touching illustra tion of the importance (and the prac ticability. as well,) of imparting to children, at a very early age, a knowl edge of the great truths upon which are founded all real integrity of char acter—from the recognition of which springs all true beauty in the life and conduct of the individual. It first appeared in the Weekly Record, but deserves repul ilicution in every peri odical of the land: A little girl, nine years of age, was witness against a prisoner who was on trial for a crime committed in her father's house'. ••Now, Emily,” said the counsel fertile prisoner, upon her being put into the witness box, “I desire to know if vou understand the nature of an oath.” “I don’t know what you mean,” was tin* simple reply. “There, your honor,” said the coun sel, addressing the court, “is there anything further necessary to show the force of my objection? The witness should be rejected, she does not know the nature of an oath,” “Let me see,” said the judge. “Come here, my little girl.” Assured by the kind tone and man ner of the judge, the little child step ped towards him and looked up con fidingly in is face with a calm, cleat- eye, and in a manner so artless and frank that it went straight to his heart. “Did you overtake an oath ?” asl - ed the judge. T^Jic little girl stepped back witii a look of horror, and the red blood mantled in a blush all over : her face and neck as she answered— ; “No, sir.” . The Power ol a Word. A mother on the green hills of Vermont was holding by the right hand a son, sixteen years old, mad with the love of the sea. And as he stood by the garden gate one ; morning she said:—“Edward, they tell me—for I never saw the ocean— that the great temptation of a sea man’s life is drink. Promise me, i before you quit your mother’s hand, that you will never drink.” “And,” said lie, (for he told me the story,) ; “I gave the promise, and I went the globe over, Calcutta and the Medi terranean, San Francisco, and the 1 Cape of Good Hope, the north pole and the south ; I saw them all in : forty years, and I never saw a glass filled with sparkling liquor that mv , , , , ,, , r i ,y . i-i *. pect, he has venturt mother s form by the gate cud not I 1 - rise up before me, and to-day I am innocent of the taste of liquor.” Was not that sweet evidence of ; the power of a single word? Yet! 1 that is not half, “For,” said he, , | “vesterday there came into my count- | | ing-room a man of forty years.” “Do you know me?” “No.” “Well,” said he, “I was once ! brought drunk iu your presence o.i j shipboard; you were a passenger; i they kicked me aside ; you took me ’ to vonr berth and kept me there till I had slept off the intoxication; you then asked if I had a mother. I said I had never known a word from her lips. You told me of yours and the garden gate, and to-day I am master of one of the packets in New : York, and I came to ask you to ; come and see me.”’ How far £liat little candle throws its beams! That mother’s word on the green hills of Vermont! God be thanked for the mighty power of a single word! . disciplined youths and send them forth with a culture commensurate S with the advanced state of knowledge ! in all its departments, is a question j demanding the most serious thought i of our primary assemblies, and the represetatives of the people in their ... legislative halls.
