' For; weary face and faded hair ' Fair milliner, ! pray you, Evoke such colors, style and grace As shall beloved make you. No that won't do 'tis well enough, TO PRACTICE. .In the Book of Books it is written, "God said 'Let there, be light' and there was light. ' ' An abstract truth is herein set forth, but the whole sum of the matter is hot expressed.' Reason teaches that there were agencies who understood and obeyed the mandate of divine authority and thus the purpose of the Lord was fulfilled. Not words alone, but works; brave, detenu ined , incessant effort, wields the power which will eventually revolutionize the world. The world in its grand old age lias grown very wise, and, contains, many teachers. lIso many vho aspire to be teachers with out the necessary preparation and qualifica-- . ; tions. : Of the latter class the unwary should beware, lest "the blind lead the blind, and, both fall into the ditch. " 7 It is good to desire, with great and strong desire to be a teacher of truth. And it is possible Tor almost every one to become a true teacher; not-- : an imaginarr or mislead-- ; : Piled up with flowers and cherries.

While of all the millions of hearts which may be thrilled by the sound-- , of the tliousand ser- or the perusal of the many volumes, not one, by those means, independent of self exertion, will ever secure saltation. And again, .the object lesson presented by a worthy life, to those who are. fortunate enough to come within the circle of its lighU is of greater practical value than the mere" listening to the most eloquent sermons, or reading of the most instructive ;; works, can be. For ; one" is the positive demonstration of exalted truths;' the others are simply oral and book lessons. The present era is one of general education.

Or is there, within the breasts - of many, underlying this high and holy object, a reaching after, ' vai n glory - y ea rn i ng for adulation , a love of praise? And in many instances, coupled . with these polluting tendencies, is there not an undue and selfish longing for world-- , ly wealth?'

Where there is no dross to be consumed, the. fire need not be dreaded. If, however, the evils here mentioned are really prevalent,- to what cause may such lamentable effects be traced? Does it not give rise to reasonable apprehensions that something is at fault with the general manner, or matter, by which the public "mind is nourished?; Let us look into this ' ;; subject. Children attend; school and are over-fementally, as a rule, in this generation. Often vanity and love of praise are engendered, fostered aiid highly developed in the innocent child, to sharpen the appetite aud increase the thirst for learning Thus the is capacity of the brain expanded at the to' and the neglect of the heart. expense Thus .knowledge is eagerly sought anrl V " obtained through selfish motives, for world- ly honor and gain; instead of in tlxe spirit of; generosity, to do good and diffuse light ".
