Hard to do Good.
Tortrtnv Wilson came home one day
with tears in hts eyes ; he ran and laid
his head in his mo'hei’s lap and sobbe I
aloud. She pushed the curls back fiom
his head, kissed him, and said; —
“What is the mutter, my son ?
“O, ma,” he answered, “it's so hard
to be good!”
“What makes you think so. Tom
my ?”
“Witv, you know, mamma, yrster.
day vvas Sabbath, ami you talked to me
in the evening about hiving anew
heart, and told me that I must pray to
God, and He would give me one, and,
that then 1 would love every body, and
always feel happy, and not be afraid
to die. And I thought that 1 would
like to have such a heart ; and 1 pray
ed when l went to bed, and kept think
ing about it until 1 fell asleep, an 1 as
soon as 1 woke in the morning, ! re-j
membered about it, and prayed again;
and it seemed to me as if I hud anew
heart—[ felt so happy; and when 1
went to school I tried to be kind to all
the boys, and learn my lassons well,
and be good. But this noon, U- org.
Johnson snatched my ball, and 1 got ]
angry and called him n thief. And;
when we were playing, Charley Smith’
struck me, and before 1 thought, I
struck him ba“k again. Aral coming t
home this afternoon, James Eewis
ealled nm a coward, and I called him
alia:-. And bo, ma, I kept forgetting;
and doing wrong, and tio matter how
hard I try, I oan’t be good. It is so
easy to gut ang'v, and bad vvo-ds come
out s qutok. \VCat's ho reas m. ina,
that we can’t be god when we w ant to;
be?”
Mrs. though’ mm it-, -itrl
ilieii said, “Do you remember, Tommy,
riding down on your sled, lust winter/
“0, yes, inummu, the lull was cov.
ered with *now, and it was beat down
until i; was almost us smooth as ioe; and
went down so fast’ that n nlmost took
away mv breath !”
“Well, my son, but did you go up so
fast Z”
“O no, ma ! It was slow, bard work
getting up. We would slip at almost
every siep, and we eotild’ut got up at
all, in.the place where we slit down,
but hud to round to the other side,
where the snow was not worn so smooth
and slippery.”
“Then it was easier lo gO down than
to go up, u as it?’
“O yes, it’s always so with intis.”
“And the ofiener you went down on
your sled, the smoother the snow got,
and tlie faster you could go ?”
“Yes, mamma.”
‘•Well, Tommy, when God made
Adam and live, and put them in the
garden, it was as easy for them to do
right as to do wrong. It was like
walking on ievel ground; iliey could
no one wav as well us the other. But
1 i
! they chose to do wrong, and ever since
| then ihe world lias been like ihe side ol
!a n ouutuin. It is up bill toward lieav
; en, and it is down hill toward hell. I
‘cannot tell you my son, why it is so,
| any more than i can tell you why God
made a hill out there instead of a level
, p.ain; but every body finds it so. An*’ .
Alien I*v doing wrong, we make the j
down bill more ami more slippery all ,
the time. Our evil habits are like your I
sleds, they smooth the way, so that we |
igo taster and faster. It’s hard work
; even to stop doing wrong, just as hard
is for uiu to stop your sled when hali ‘
way and ovn, and g.-ing like a race horse, j
! And it is still harder to go up. We;
j are all the time slipping up. We find j
; our old habits tripping us up at every j
step ! , j
• Then, mu, we might as well give:
un trying,” said Tommy, ill a sad and |
tatter tone.
••Did my little hoy say si last winter,!
! when ho vv.is climbing up the hill to j
j ride down on hts sled? He slipped a
great many times, and onc'i or twit',
1 tell quite down in die simw ; hut he’
sur,untile 1 up again and kept oy trying,
| because be wanted to have the pleas- \
\ ore of riding down so swiftly over the!
! smooth snow. Will Tommy care more j
for a f w minutes’ snort than for being
good U.. dotting 10 heaven ?”
j uimiiy felt ashamed ol what he had
sail. He laid Ins head in his mother’s p
J ap, and wnai lus llioughts were 1 cm
not (til. But after awlule lie looked;
up, as earnest as a hero, and said :
•‘.Via, I’ve been u tool is 1 bnv. 1
thought I uou and he good light oIF, and
wim uardl v any trouble. But I sue |
!io v that it is uot so, and l mean to try
‘with all my might; and I knew, mu,
dial I ahull be happier even while 1 am
tt\iug; and Hoi vwll help me, won’t he j
ma ?”
j “Yes, my soft, if you are humble
and do not think that you can be good of |
yourself vvidiout Ids help. You have
burned to-day how weak your own j
smugth is; and 1 hope that you will
pray every day, and often every day
j ibr (J et (o wuicil over you, and keep
you from fulling, and raise vutt up when [
you fall, and that \ott will watch yotir.;
self, my dear hoy, and try to oveic mie |
id 1 your wicked habits, and remember
what a down lull slippery world litis is,
amt that we must expect hard work in
getting through it to heaven. But that
heaven will be worth all the ell'iris of a
thousand such Uveal's this!”
And Tommy followed his mother’s
advice, and he is now a good man. He
says lie often remembers that Mondiy,;
when he thought it was so hard lo lie
good, and the liiil, and the snow, and
the sled ; and he hopes that the story l
will lead some little boy who reads it
to quit slipping down, and try to climb
up, and persevere, and pray to God; and
so hopes Dude Jesse.— Christian Her

Longevity of Quakers. —Quakerism
is favorable to longevity it seems. Ac
; cording to late English census returns,
the average age attained by tnainbers of
this peaceful sect in Great Britain is
fifty-one years, two mouths, and twenty
days.-Half of the population of the court
trv, as it seen bv the same returns, die
before reoching the age of twenty.one,
and the aver-,gr I'urttion of humui lile
the world over is but thirty three years.
-Quakers, therefore live a third longer
than the rest of us. The reasons are!
! obvious enough.-Quakers are temper
; ate and prudehl, are seldom in a passion.

business —on Wednesday morning—

i Extraordinary Love Letter. —ln a col
lection of ancient tracts wild manuscripts
; by Gluts. Clark, is the. following curious
and quaint love letter which was
addressed to a lady of Malden, England,
■in the year 1614. As it is a remarka

mode of inditing such compositions, we
! give it entire:
i To the most choice Gentlewoman and
ornament of her sex, Mrs. Elizabeth
■ Goode, daughter of Mr. Sebastian
j Goode, Esq are, at Maluen.
Mrs. Elizabeth: I have long bee no
i an earnest suitor to your honour and
I deserts, that 1 might be admitted an
! humble suiioor to your sweete self: now,
’ after many strivings and wrestlings, I
have almost prevailed. My next suit
! is, that your dearest selfe would com
j ply with your dearest parents desires
, and mini: they are mast ready to part
: wiili a great purl of their estate fir you;
sake, and I most willing to place all
my joyes and delights in you alor.e.
Now it is, c will sodainlv be ir: your
soio power to dash and frustrate, or
’ crowne all my endeavors: herby you
will make in ; a mast happy man, and
; your self (1 hope) a no less happy
spouse.
Well, sweet Mi's. Elizabeth, be not
afraid to venture on me; as you have a

Known, this is my virgin request,
the first rtquest in earnest that ever

have seen many young gallants and
virgins, but Mrs. Elizabeth is the de
j light of my eyes. Gibers ofydur se.xe
liavt been acceptable, and some pre

Amongst all the works of Go I, I

such is yours nr none in these parts of

Bearded Citilitation. —Beards are
very singularly connected in histrrj’
wiili the progress of civilization. The
early history of all nations naturally
exhibits a he.ardeJ p-ople, for the beard
itsflfis an ordinance of nature. The
early Greeks and the Rimuns did not
shave. Tho Greeks and Homans
about the tim* of Alexander, who com
manded ail his soldi is to shave, lest
their beard should uiTjrd a handle for
liieir eneinle ’ I nis was i-ulr* mute
titan 300 years before the Christian era;
ami thirty years after Alexader, Tioi
nius introduced the habit of shaving
amongst tho Romans. The Gothic
invaders of the Western empire revived
the habit of wearing the heard. The
Anglo-Saxons were n bsarded race
when William the Conqueror invaded
Bnglaiid, and therefore Die Conquero”
and his Normans’ ever after wore the
chin smooth, in order to disinguish them
fpotn tlte vanquished; and thus, even
in the Norman invasion, the shaven
chin became the emblem of un advan
ced civilization. In like manner, amid
ail the long controversies between the
Eastern and ihe Western Churches,
ihe Western Churyli has invariably
espoused the cause of the razor, whilst
the Greek or Ensure Citurch as re
solutely defends the cause of the heard.
Civilization has marched in tho West,
[and remained stationary in the East,
in tilt land of beards. When Peter the
Great determined to civilize his Rusian
subjects, one of tho means which he
considered indispensable was use of
the razor; lie therefor'’ commanded his
soldiers lo shave lay man who refused
to do it himself, and lure sport they
hail with stubborn old patriarchs who
persisted in retaining their much cher
ished emblems of age and wisdom. The
civilization of the west is decidedly em
blemed by tho shaven chin; and there,
fore it seemed an ominous and remark
able circumstance that in tho late con
tinental revolutions, the resumption of
the beurd should have borne so conspic
uous and important a part.
Florida Faint Hoot. —This root
grows in great abundance in the flit
woo Is, near the ; - .mis, and in the j
savannahs of tin utmes of Levy, i
Marion, Bumpier, and perhaps many I
other counties of East and South
Florida. It has a top similar to the
llag, and a root about the size of a
mail’s th tilth, of various lengths, riming
horizontal, not far below the surface.
It is juev, and of a deep red color.
Hogs are exceedingly fond of it, and
fallen on it rapidly,if they utv black, or
have black hoots. It is said by the old
settlers that hogs with white hoofs
seem t> founder, and their hoot comes <
off, wliicit causes them to perish uu-1

when the animal lias only one white
the others black, the white hoof comes 1
oir. The root colors the 11-s i, bones
and murrow, ol hogs lliut feed upon if, j
and tile uiine becomes of the c dor ol j
blood. There is do doubt this root may
he substituted fir madder, uiid become
a source of no inconsiderable I radio to;

in grunt abundance and may be culti

Mame Law Illustrated.— -At a tem
perance meeting somewhere, Mr.
Kellogg, the Buckeye Orator, said,
when Out people of Bangor turned into
tho street several casks of wine and
orumiy, many stood mid gazed upon the
stream as it ran down end mingled with
’he water* of the Penobscot; some
su) ing what a waste’ and others re
j being in its desti u :tion. The circum
i stance reminded him of a southern lady
j and her slave Dinah. Tho lady was
very pious, and told Dinah that she
must pray that Satan’s kingdom might
be destroyed. “1 doesn’t know bout
dat.” replied Dinah. “What, not piay
i for tiie destruction of Satan’s kingdom?”
I demanded the mistress, “Don’t you
desire it/’ Dinah, being brought up
in habits of strict economy, “1 dosen’l
Missus, lub to see anything wasted ”
And so say these rummies, especially
when such streams of liquid poison are
running down tho gullies.
‘l’lie difficulty of convicting rum
i sellers by the testimony of rilm-tlrink
lers, under the old law, is about as
i great as to convict u dog of steling sheep
by .lie testimony of tiic puppies who
’ ate carcasses; or to convict a man of
[stealing bacon in Ohio,ns in tho follow,
ing case: A man lit Ohio, indicated
for stealing bacon, went to a lawyer
and told him Ii is case, and the lawyer
i advised him to settle as the proof was i
i strong against him. “No” said the i
man, “I’ve a right to a trial by jury,
j and you defend me, and I’ll p.<y you
for it.” I’he lawyer did defend him;
i and although the proof was full against
i him, yet he obtained a verdict acquittal,
and walked out of the court house us
large as life. The lawyer was aston
ished that his client got the case. Tho
next day the attorney asked the man
how under the heavens he got thut
verdict.“L >ok here, ’Squar,’ ” tie re
plied, winking very slyly; “I’ll tell
you how it was done, hut you mustn’t
say anything about it.” Tiie attorney
1 promised secrecy. “Now, ’Sqnar,’ ”
said i lie man, ‘‘eleven of I hut jury had
a part of tho bacon.” The lawyer’s
doubts were ut once clear up, and he
saw illroutili the inysterv. These an
ecdoles are fair illustrations of the old
laws on the subject of licenses, and the
difficulties in executing them.
Don’t ba Lengthy.
1. In your calls of courtesy ori busi
ness men and Ministers of tlie Gospel.
2. Especially regard this caution in
the office of an editor. Editors have
work lo do, and they bate most emphat
ically to huve men call lo read their
exchanges, and lay around und talk
about nothing.
3. Regard it also in that interesting
story you are fond of telling. A npliii.
cation dilutes, and the dish is injured
because tho cook is so long over it.
1. Don’t make that editorial uriidn
too long. To many, a column is
frightful, even of your good thoughts.
That good deal which you wish to say
will he more acceptable in short urti.
cle.s, and perhaps with diiferent tides.
5. L*ok out, too, about that long
sermon. Cun’t you squeeze out s one
of the superfluities, and by condensa
tion, give much mutter in a smaller
compass? “No, i don’t think such u
sermon as mine can be so used.”
Well, then, add more precious thoughts,
and muke two of it. Your own good
opinion of it will be elongated by such
u process.
(5. Don’t be long about ptying that

by your promptness. Perhaps tic lias
showered some inverted blessings upon
you already , for your delay. Prevent
another drop.
7. Don’t be so long in getting to the
house ol God. Better wait there than
lie waited for. I’eople who are lengthy
in the in itter of their progress to the

Head it ye mothers.
Mothers; you no doubt have bean
entrusted by heaven with children.—
Whut a delightful charge ! What a
soul stirring interest it should awaken
in your breast ! when you recollect that
for every child you give birth to. there
is a soul which will, eventually, ting in
heaven or howl in hell ; and it greatly
depends on you, the mother , which plaeo
ol the two will bo the finul goat of tfro
soul; no doubt the bosun of many
swells with hope and fear alternately.
8o it should. Show me a mother who
is not ut ali interested übjut the eternal
welfare of her offspring, and I wi I in
return, show you one who is not at all
a kind and loving, a sympathetic and
tender-hearted mother. It is the lady
aljtie who cares for the spiritual wel
fare of her progeny, that can cure deep
and affectionately for their present wel
fare. To the proof: we will take for
example two rno'hers of opposite tenets.
One cares not for the future of her
child ; she inde and manifests a great de
sire to s. e her cut u “ big figure” in tha
world ; tiieiefore, none but tiie wealthy
dare approach the sacred person of
semi-goodness. He may be a gambler,
a tipler, a debauchee, and in luo', any
thing that is not right, yet If life ia rich,
tl he has men-servants and maid serv.
aula, lands und money, he is the yarn,
he is tiie very “puppy's foot.” The
mother is as blind as u leuthei-winged
bat to his imperfections and unworthy
traits of character: “Ca’ch him daught
if you esn, he is a prize,” is the modi
er’s unwholesome, unholy advice.-
Die mother might know if she would
think, that he would in all probability,
not only spend all hit own, but hers too,
and then what will become of the tJol
ized daughter / Do you believe that
mother cared for the daughter’s world
ly welfare evenly ? indeed you do
•lot, you cannot, you should not, you
may not, you shall not! All! moth
ers, you of tills class, tfull be enraged
against the writer of this, for his senti
ments and instruction, but ull I have to
say to you, if you will not turn your
course, is, just exactly be mud and wel
[com#; you k.aow it ia the truth, and o.<
exceedingly fearful truth it is. If you
I will insist on jour daughters to murry
| drunkards, who can you blame for it /
No one ! Who can blame you? AI
-1 mighty God can and will. Again take
[notice of a mother who cares for her
sou!. Pioperiy ia un irb--
! ponderable ugent in her estimation.—
-She looks ut the man, the principal of
tiie man, ut the habits of the limn, at the
■ walks of tile man. It is true sue will
not instruct her daughter to shun a
, mail only because he is rich; she
teaches her to look ut the intrinsic
