the volcano was at rest, and the village

A thousand wonders in nature are
lost to the human eye, and only revealed
to dividing us through the mi roicope. Think
of a single spider’s web iato a
thousand strands, or counting the arter¬

moth. Yet, by the aid of the powerful

der is furnished with four little lumps,
pierced with tiny holes, from each of
which issues a single thread; and when
a thousand of these from each lump are
joined together, they make the silk line
of which the spider spins its web, and
which we call a spider’s thread. Spi¬
ders have been seen as small as a grain
of sand, and these spin a thread so fine
that it takes 4,000 of them, put together,
to equal in size a single hair.

I have known professing Christians to
raise children anil not one of the children
would care a fig for Christianity. Why?
Because we are not all of Israel that are
iu Israel. Sometimes children grow up
without knowing the ten commandments,
neither can they repeat the Lord’s
prayer.
I have never yet ssen the gambler
who had confidence enough iu his pro¬
fession hi teach it to his children, and so
it is with some people, they have not
faith enough in their religion to teach it
to their children.
Teach them to love good associates.
Love commences at home. I never saw
| a mail who would abuse his mother, but
, would abuse his wife also, if he were
1 ucky to get one; and so it is with a young •
woman. I like to see those who respect
and obey their parents. I .believe this is
one of the highest commandments, and
one of the first to be obeyed.— Corres¬
