was the birth of Samuel,: Althoug-h

the angels of God stooped it the com-
ing ot so wonderful. a prophet As

took him to Shiloh, and took three bul-
locks, and an Obeli of flour, and a
bottle of wine, and mucie an offering
of lacrifice unto! the Lord„and there,
according to a previous vow, she left
him; for there: he Was to stay all the
days of his life, and minister in the

guished people, no doubt, or their
natmes would not 'have:been mentioned.
- Hannah might have seated hertelf in
her family, and, with folded arms and ,
dishevelled hair, read novels from year
to year, Stele had lbeen any to read;
but when I see her imakbag that gar-
ment, and taking :sit over to Samuel, I
know she is industrious from principle
as well as froth pleasure. God would
not have a mother \become a drudge or
a alave ; He. would have her employ
the helps possible in this day in the
rearing of her children. But llatinah
ought never to be ashamed to be
found • making a coat for • Samuel.
Most mothers need no counsel in • this
directton. ;the wrinkles on their
brons the pallor on their cheek, • the
thimble -mark on their finger, attest
that they are faithful in their mater-
nal duties if'he bloam, and their
brightness, and the vivacity of girl-
hood have .gtven place for the grander
dignity, and usefulness, and industry
of motherhood. But there is a heath-
eniat iilea getting abroad in same of
the families of Americans ; there are
mothers who banis,h themselves froin
, the hoaue cirole. For three-fourths of
their maternal duties they prove them-
selves incompetent. .They are ignor-
ant of what their children wear, and
viliat their children: eat, and what their
children read. They entrusit to ir-
responsible persons these young im-
mortals, and allow them .to be under
influences which may cripple their
bodies, or taint their purity,,or spoil -
their manners, or destroy their souls.

WHAT COUNTS MOST. '
It is really the unconsidered triflea .
that count in packing -the various
bottles and boxes, combs -and brushes,
shoe polish, articles for the bath, etc.,
that make going away a weariness to
the flesh, and awaken Wondering rec-
ollections of a certain English weman
who arrived for a summer sojourn in
a Maine village, attended by three
trunks and t3vo formidable boxes - .
though all wete "boxes" in her voca-
bnlary. Likewise, a large tin hat for
bathing purposes. And on being '
commiserated, in prospect of her de-
parture, for the labor she would have
in getting her belongings ready, she
declered that "if she couldn't pack
'em all in an hour she'd eat 'eml"
To return to the bottles and other
brittle ware, the safeseway to manage
them is to prootire a tin box large
enough far all that 'one needs to take,
wrap each one separately inthia sheet
wadding or other soft material, and
pack closely enough to prevent their
moving. Wrap and tie the box
ecurely, ahd the liquids will make the
trip without damage to themselves or
their neighbors. The tin box will

wadding in the trunk to be in readiness
when needed.
