The Children’s Honr.
BY HENRY WABBWOHTII LONGFELLOW.
Between the dark and the daylight,
When tho night is beginning to lower,
Comes a pause in the day’s occupation,
That is known as the Children’s Hour.
I hear in the chamber above mo
Tho patter of little feet,
The sound of a door that is opened,
And voicos soft and sweet.
From my study I soe in the lamplight,
Descending the broad hall stair,
Grave Alice and laughing Allegra,
And Edith with golden hair.
A whisper, and then a silence :
Yet I know by their merry eyes
They are plotting and planning togethor
To take me by surprise.
A sudden rush from tho stairway,
A sudden raid from the hall,
By three doors left unguarded
They enter my castle wall.
They climb up into my turret
O’er tho arms and back of my chair }
If I try to osenpo, they surround ine—
They seem to be everywhere.
They almost devour me with kisses,
Their arms about me entwine,
Till I think of the Bishop of Blngcrt
In his Mouse Tower on the Rhine.
Do you think, O blue-eyed banditti,
Because you have scaled the wall,
Such an old mustache as 1 am
Is not a match for you all ?
I have you fast in my fortress,
And will not let you depart,
But put you down in the dungeons
In the round tower of my heart.
Ami there will I keep you forever,
V, - C.- 1 „ .In..
Till the wall* shall crumble to ruin,
And molder in dust away.
The Toil-Gate of Life.
We are all on our journey. The world
through which we are passing is in some
respects like a turnpike—all along vice

accommodation of those who choose to call
as they go,—and there are very few of all
the hosts of travelers who do not occasion
ally stop a little at some ono or other of
them—and consequently pay more or less
to tho toll-gatherers. Pay more or less,
we say, because there is a great variety
as well in the amount as in the kind of toll
extracted at these different stopping places.
Pride and fashion take heavy tolls of
the purse—many a man has become a
beggar by paying at their gates—the or
dinary rates they charge are heavy, and
the road that way is none of the best.
Pleasure offers a very smooth, delight
ful road in the outset; she tempts the trav
eler with many promises, and wins thou
sands—but she takes without mercy ; like
an artful robber, she allures till she gets
her victim in her power, and then strips
him of health and money, and turns him
off a miserable object, into the worst or
most rugged road of life.
Intemperance plays the part of a stur
dy villian. He is the worst of all toll
gatherers on ihe road, for he not only gets
from his customers their money and theii
health, but he robs them of their very
brains. The men you meet on the road
ragged and ruined in frame and fortune
are his visitors.
And so we might go on enumerating
many others that gather toll of the unwa
ry. Accidents sometimes happen, it ii
true, along the road, but those who do no
ilirnncrh nt least tolerablv well, voi
may be sure have been stopping by thi
way at some of these places. The plain
common sense men, who travel straight
forward, get through the journey withou
much difficulty.
This being the slate of things, it be
comes every one, in the outset, if ho in
tends to make a comfortable journey, t
take care what kind of company he keep
in with. We are all apt to do as cornpar
■ ions do—stop where they stop, and pa
• toll where they pay. Then the chance
‘are ten to one but our choice in this pa;
ticular decides our fate.
Having paid due respect to a choice i
1 companions, the next important thing is'
observe how others manage ; to murk tl
good or evil that is produced by evei
course of life—see how those do who mai
3 ages well j by these means you learn.
’ °Be careful of your habits; these mak
the man. And they require long ai
careful culture, ere they grow up to a s
^ cond nature. Good habits we speak <
" Bad habits are more easily acquired
they are spontaneous weeds, that ftouri
rapidly and rankly, without care or ci
0 lure. _ __
Things you must not do.—Never abi
one who lias been your busoin friend, no
ever bitter an enemy he may be now.
Never abase poverty.
Never speak contemptuously of woman.
Never abose age.
v, Never neglect to pay the printers.
1 And don’t neglect to vote for BreiKI
ridge and Lane.

Young Man, You’ke Wanted.—A
woman wants you. Don’t forget her. Don’t
wait to be rich. If you do, remember
thai, ton to one, you are not fit to get mar
ried. Marry whilo you are young, and
struggle up together.—Exckange.
But mark, young man! The woman
does not want you if she has to divide her
affections with a cigar, fancy dog, fast
horse, or a whiskey jug. Neither does
she want you because you are a •* nice
young man*," the definition of which,
now-a-days, is too apt to be an animnl that
sports an immense hirsute appendage, a
lot of jewelry, kid gloves, a fashionably
cut coat, a gold-headed cane, a stove-pipe
hat on an empty head, drives a fast nag,
drinks like n fish, and swears like a
trooper, and is given to all manner of li
centiousness. She wants you if you have
learned to regulate your appetites and
passions; in fact, she wants you if you
are made in the image of God, not in the
likeness of a beast. If you aro strong in
good purpose, firm in rcsistence to evil,
pure in thought and action as yofi require
lier to be, and without which inward and
outward purity neither of you are fitted
for husband or wife. If you love virtue
and abhor vice—if you are gentlemanly,
forbearing anti kind; not loud talking,
exacting and brutal—then, young rnan,
that woman wants you; that fair, modest,
cheerful, bright-looking, frank-spoken
woman—we mean one who fills your ideal
of maiden and wife—it is she who wants
you ! Marry her when you like, whether
you are rich or poor; we will trust you
both on the conditions named without
further security.
Sagacity op the Akctio Fox.—In a
recent lecture upon his experience in Arc
tic life, Dr. Rae said : "On the journey I
saw a very curious instance of the sagaci
ty of the Arctic fox. Conscious that I was
aiming at him, he tucked his tail between
his legs, cocked up his cars, and endeav
ored to look as like a Imre as possible,
(which is nn animal comparatively worth*
less.) Another fact of this kind occurred
to me, whilst being detained at a particu
lar place, where our favorite .amusement
was trapping wild animals. Our mode of
doing this was with a spring-gun connect
ed with a bait, which, when touched, pro
duced the explosion. One instance show
ed ua that a fox, either from observation
of a companion’s fate, or from hard-e&rn*
&A IfWaS'ft % CP/
and, the danger beingine
ate the meat in undisturbed comfort. Ana
it is a common occurrence for the fox to
make a trench up to the bait, seize it, and
permit the charge to pass over his head.”

Beautiful Extract.—Beautiful is old
age, beautiful as the slow drooping mellow
Autumn of a rich, glorious Summer. In
the old man, nature has fulfilled her work;
she loads him with fruits of a well spent
life ; and surrounded by his children, she
rocks him' away softly to the grave, to
which he is followed by blessings. God
forbid that we should not call it beautiful.
There is another life, hard, rough and
thorny, trodden with bleeding feet and
aching brow, a battle which no peace fol
lows this aide of the grave; which the
grave gapes to finish before the victory is
won; and strange that it should— this is
the highest life of a man. Look back
along the great names of history, there is
none whosedife is other than thi».-*-[ West
