DUTY OF PARENTS
IN SUSTAINING
Sabbath Schools.
BY ItKV. JAMES A. CLEMENT.
PAUT VI).
“The sanctions of religion alone can
give stability to the institutions of a na
tion, and establish a national morality,
and the purest national character. The
whole solid frame work of our govern
ment —our extensive facilities of trade
and commerce —skill and success in agri
culture—our free and noble institutions
our press —our growing population—our
liberty—our dignity—our prosperity—
and our endless prospects are the fruits
of the Christian religion. While civil
legislators are enactii g penal laws, and
devising plans for prisons and dungeons
and death, pious parents and Sabbath
schools are aplying all their energies to
render these civil arrangements tinriec ;s
--sary —and not in vain, for scarcely any
piously instructed in childhood have been
condemned and disgraced by crime, or
died a felons death. Parental instruction
of this nature is founded upon the eternal
basis of Divine truth, and corresponding
results will follow. Let it not be supposed
that this law of Heaven was applicable
only iu the Old Testament times. God
has the same regard for children now,
that he had and expressed then —children
have the same interest in the atonement
now, that they had then—they have the
same need of instruction now, that they
had then—and parents are under the
same obligation now to train up their
children properly, as they were then.
The l’salmist says, God “established a
testimony in Jacob, and appointed a la-.v
in Israel, which he commanded oui
fathers, that they should make them
known to their children, which should he
born, who should arise arid declare them
to their children; that they might set
their hope in God, and not forget the
works God, but keep his command
ments.” —J’sa. Ixxviii: o—7;0 —7; Deut. vi:
4—7; x: 18 —21. And so Paul exhorts
parents, that they “bring up their chil
dren in the nurture and admonition of
the Lord.”—Kpl). vi: 4. And so the
apostle bears testimony to pious training
in the care of Timothy; “But continue
thou in the things which thou bast
learned and bast been assured of, know
ing of whom thou bast learned them, and
that ftom a child thou hast known fire
lio[y Set'iptnrcs, which aie able to make
thee wise unto salvation, through faith,
which is in Jesus Christ.”
Now all these duties, namely, of a godly
example, faithful, earnest, and constant
prayer and pious instruction, are involved
essentially :n parental relations; and
parents or men and women solemnly and
formally pledge themselves to discharge
them, whenever they voluntarily assume
the marriage relation, which naturally pre
supposes the corresponding relation of pa
rent and child.
An illustration Is found in the case of
Hannah and Famuel. She solemnly
vowed that she wculd dedicate her child
to God. IJer prayer was heard and
granted, and the child of prayer and
promise formally consecrated to God, and
duly trained, and none under the Old
Testament dispensation was more dis
tinguished than Samuel for piety and
usefulness.
But “the neglect of parental obligation
is exceedingly displeasing to God, of
which we have an impressive instance re- !
corded in the ca.se of Eli: ‘And the Lord ■
said to .Samuel, Behold, l will do a thing j
in Israel, at which both the oars of every ■
one that hoarcth it shall tingle. In that :
day 1 will perforin against Jail all tilings
I which I have spoken concerning his house;
when 1 begin, 1 will also make nil end.
For l have told him that 1 will judge his
house forever, for the iniquity which lie
I knowctli; localise Ids sons made tncm
selves vile, and he rest mini J them tint.
And therefore 1 have sworn unto the
house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s
house shall not he purged with i nerifice
nor offering forever.’ ”
From all these tilings we learn, that
puiental responsibility is of vast moment,
and fraught with eternal consequences;
i and cannot he transferred to other par
( tics; that parents should seek to obtain
! all the aids within their reach in enable
thorn to discharge those responsibilities;
j and as the church lias so magnanimously
stepped forward, and offered an aid in
her Sabbath school system, it seems hut
reasonable, that ail parents should be
; more than willing and ever ready to seize
{ upon it as an auxiliary to the faithful dis
charge of duty. Should you not evince
your gratitude to the church every re
■ furring Sabbath morning by taking your
| children with you to the place where they
may be taught the truth that will make
them wise unto si lvati ii? ()! tarry not
| yourselves at home, saying to the chil
| dren, i/o, but manifest an interest your
selves by attendance on the school, and
1 thus by your presence encourage the
cause. Remember, your example speaks
loader than your words io its praises and
effects, I'U! ever hear in mind, this insti
tution is not designed to substitute your
responsibility, hut on’y te aid you in the
discharge of the same.
0! that parents would arouse from
their lethargy and sluuiberings over this
important subject, ami use their utmost
diligence to promote a cause that links
the present interests and destinies of pa
rents and children to (hat eternal state of
existence to which we are all fast tending.
Gould parents hut realize the fact that
those little ones who have gone before,
rnd numbr-d now with the family above,
may nowho hovering around them, whi -
poring in their ears words of comfort and
encouragement to labor on, and be faith

bath school cause. Shall we not return

A Fool
The man who marries a woman for her
beauty, or her “style,” or her money, and
finds out, alter he is firmly tied, that he
has wedded a fool, is surely to he pitied.
We know some men have survived such
an error, and have alter-ward shown that
they had same energy, hut men rise or
fall with their ehoi: of a wife, and it is
generally beyond their power to eoiiUgil
effectually all the circumstances iflnli
which they surround themselves by a
false step. We know many men who
have been struggling a whole life against
the influence of an unlucky marriage, hut
vainly. A fool cannot learn wisdom; and
if a woman has not common sense, she can |
he in no respect a fit e nnpanion for a res j
sonable man. On the contrary, her whole j
behavior must he disgusting and tiresome
to every one that knows her, especially to
a husband, who is obliged to be in her
company mere than any one else, and
therefore must see more of her folly than
anyone else and must sulfer more from
the shame of it, as being more nearly con
nected with her than any other person,
ll a woman ha- not . ome small share of
ease what means ekn a husband use to
set her right in any error of conduct into
in any of which she w ill naturally run 7
No argument, for a fool is proof against
that; and if the have not a little good na
ture to attempt to udthsc her will he only

Love's Devlofcs.
A queer affair was reported at the
mayor's office. An elderly woman with
tears in her eyes, hud a lengthy story to
toll how hard she was trying to raise her
granddaughter in the path of rectitude.
Thus far she hadsuccei ded very well, but
the your.g girl was up to so many tricks
and ways of deception that the old woman
feared something would happen one of
these days. “The girl is too young to
have a beau yet” said the grandmother,
and as she is my son’s child —he is now
dead and gone- 1 don’t want her to have
com puny. She promised me she wouldn’t.
\V< II last night after supper, she said she
was going to have company. One other
Sunday school class -a young woman —
was coming around. Of course I had no
objection. It was nine o’clock before she
come. They were in the parlm# alone,
and about ll) o’clock 1 thought the girls

the other girl, and I noticed the strange
girl had very short hair. They jumped

I iomid out that the other woman was a

A Louisiana Heroine.
We were the witness of a tender and
beautiful scene in 1801. It was early in
'lay, and a fair young Louisiana girl was
bidding her soldier good-bye. Her head
was bowed upon his breast., and he was
wee ping bitterly. But when lie besought
her to dry up her tears and display a brarn
heart, she lifted her head and looking
him proudly in the face said: ‘1 am weep
ing became you are going where there is
I danger and probably death, hut,’ and the
blood mantled lo her white cheeks, ‘if
j you were not going, you would see me
bhnli and bow mv head in shame.’ Once
■e sin we saw that girl. A division of
Federal troops were attacking a body of
G nfc lerate cavalry in full view of her
house, and the shells and round shot
hissed over the village and plowed its
structs. There she stood gazing eagerly
ai the battle, heedless ol shot and shell.
lln hands were clenched; her cheeks were
whiter Ihun lilies.-; her whole form seemed
to leave ith excitement, and there was
a battle iire in her blue eyes. By heavens!
we believe that had it been possible, she
diouhl have dashed into the tide’.cat of
the fight. That girl had the heart of
Billiard Gieur de Linn. But she faded
with the strength of i lie Confederacy, and
then I hey dres ed her in white robes,
folded her hands tin her besom and laid

The Sister.
No household complete without a sis
ter. She gives the finish to tlio family.
A sister’s love, a sister’s influence—what
can he more hallowed? A sister’s watch
ful care -can any tiring he more tender?
A sister’s kindness—does the world show
us any thing purer? Who would live
w ithout a sister? A sister is a sort of
guardian angel in the home-circle. Her
pro 'live condemns vice. She is the
qiiiclu rof ki 1 resolutions, the sun
shine in the pathway of home. To every
brother -he is li lit and li‘e. Her heart
i the treasure-house of confidence. In
her he finds a sale adviser, a charitable,
forgiving, tender, though often severe
friend. In her lie finds a ready compan
ion. Her sympathy is as often ns day
in J sweet as the fragrance of flowers.
We pity the brother who has no sister, no
si.- tor's love. Wr feel sorry for the homo
which is not enlivened by a sister’s
presence. A sister’s oilieo is a noble and
gentle one. It is hers to persuade to vir
tue, to win to wisdom’s pays; gently to
lead where duty calls; to guard the citadel
of home with the sleepless vigilance of
virtue; to gather graces and strew flowers
ar iiii I the home altar. To he a sister is
to hold a sweet place in the heart of
home. It is to minister in a holy office.
Chicago Journal of Commerce.
The world is filled with people who
know everybody’s business hut their own.
They are always ready to give advice on
any and all subjects, and it their advice
isn’t taken, they are ready to denounce
those who refuse it, in (he most unsparing
terms. They can’t edit a newspaper, but
they know just how it ought to he done,
flier cau l preach, but they are always
ready to tell ministers of the Gospel what
ito say, and how to say it. They know no
I more about teaching than a monkey
knows of Hebrew, and yet they have
views on the subject of teaching which
they never cease to give whenever they
can have an audience. They are as
ignorant of fanning as a Gannibal of
Christianity, but they will roll out chunks
of advice to the farming community by
the hour. Providence had a wise purposo
in the creation of such bores, wo presume,
hut it is one of the mysteries that we
cannot fathom.

rolled the cloth, taking hold of one end of

then said, “Pull, Adam, pull.”
“I cannot, sir.”
“Why?” said the master.
“Beeattsc it is wrong, sir,” said Adam;
and lie refused to pull.
