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 ful a little while longer, methinks, you would see anew energy and vitality springing up all over the land in the Sab bath school cause. Shall we not return toour labor of love, with a renewed <h> termination to work mere faithfully and energetically in this great and glorious cause. (THE ESI).) 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 arguing with a tempest or rousing a fur}.

' 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.

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 b t away: and when the, last ragged Gon icdeiate.- had in Tendered their guns, li -r s nil had vanished from tile earth. —New Orleans /temnerat.

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. There was a lad in Ireland, who was put at work in a linen factory, and, while lie was at work there, a piece of cloth was wanted to he sent out which was short of the quantity it ought to be; hut the mas ter thought it might be made the length by a little stretching. lie therefore un rolled the cloth, taking hold of one end of it himself, and the boy at the other. He then said, “Pull, Adam, pull.” “I cannot, sir.” “Why?” said the master. “Beeattsc it is wrong, sir,” said Adam; and lie refused to pull. Upon this, the master said he would not do for a linen manufacturer, and sent him home; hut the boy become the learn ed Rev.
