If I value myself in any th ing, sajd the lonely Hawthorne, 'it is on having a smile tlat children love.' They are such prompt little beings, too; they require so little prelude. Hearts are won in two minutes at that frank period, and so long as you aro true to them, they will be true to you. They nave a hearty appetite for gifts, no doubt, but it is not for these that they love the giver. Take and lavish it with the wealth of counterfeited affection; I will win all children's hearts away from you by empty-hande- d love. In visiting a house where there are children I xlo not like to take them presents! '"M is better to forego the pleasure of the giving than' to divide the welcome between yourself and the gift. Let that follow after you are gone. T. V. Higginsori. The, Thief's Victory.A good many years ago one of the most notorious thieves in the United States had a confidential conversation with a gentleman, who is now one of our most efficient detectives, and expressed a desire to reform "Why do you wish to live so much oh tho square?", said the the-wor- ld. -- , gentleman. "Because,", replied the :thief, "I have a wife and children to whom t am very much attached ; they have no jdea of the mode in which l am making my living; the children are growing up, and are beginoften, ning to wonder Why I leave hometosoreform am ever I and what I do; and if The now is the time." gentleman warmly approved the idea, and to further it, loaned the man several hundred dollars with which to begin an honest business. The reformed man at once Broke' off all his associations, livprl Tiprffictlv honest, would have no dis honest person call on him, devoted himself for years closely to business, raised his fam-'fif- rl a firp.it manv acts of unostentatious charity, and' died not long since esteemed by all who knew mm. ins children are doinir welt and are highly re spectable. The money advanced was long ' J since repaid. first principlo in the religion pf Jesus Christ. Therefore without faith tt is impossible to find God or to please Him. It is the moving cause of all our actions, and by diligently seeking after God we exercise faith or belief in reward for all the good we do, and that if we dp no good we merit no reward. Tho faith that wo enjoy is the same as that enjoyed by the former day Saints; thus, we understand our duties" towards God and each other tho same as the ancient' Saints did. . When true faith is planted. in good soil, it grows and gathers strength; and this living, grbwinfaith vis that which? begets knowledge, wisdom, '.power and wealth, because of our laithj we search for those things we ivish to possess, and bur pursuit will be, as Christ said, according to our faith.
