Coleridge, ono of the finest .poets of
time, battled for twenty years be-
fore be could emancipate himself
from his Tyrant, opium. Ho hired
to man to watch bum day and night,
and keep him by force from touching
the pernicious drug. He formed
resolution after resolution. Yet,
during all the best years of bis life,
9re wanted his substance and hie
health, neglected his family, lived
accursed becauee be had not resole
tion to abstain. He would even lay
plans to cheat the man whom he bad
paid to keep the drug from him. His
ease is an extreme one, yet how often
we see men bound so firmly by the
chain of strong drink that they make
shipwreck of themselves, and drift
about the sea of life, the prey of every
wind and current, vainly shrieking
for help, till at last they drift away
into darkness and death. Young
man, take care how you are drifting.
3f you give way for one moment you
may drift hopelessly to ruin. It rests
with yourselves alone, under God,
whether you reach the port triumph.
aptly or drift to ruin. Habit makes
no figure during the vivacity of
youth ; in middle age it game, and
in old age;governs without control.
Evil habits must be conquered, or
they, will conquer us, and destroy
our peace and happiness. Young
neon, starting out in life let your
motto be, "Taste not, Touch not,
Handle not."
Gem. of Thought.
He who receives but does not give
is like the Dead Sea. All the fresh
floodeof Jordan cannot sweeten its
dead, salt depths. So all the
streams of God's bounty cannot
sweeten a heart that has no outlet ;
ie ever receiving, yet never full and
overflowing.
There is no real victory but that
wlnoh_ is won both by God and
MAD.
A man has need, if he be plenti•
fol, in some kind of expense, to be as
saving again in some other.
There is always more misery
among the lower classes than there
is humanity in the higher.
Religion is not a thing of noise
and spasm, but of silent self eacrifice
and quiet growth.
There is no fit search after truth
which does not, first of all, begin to
Bee the truth which it knows.
Habits are to the soul what the
veins and arteries are to the blood—
the courses in which it moves.
Move is the refreshing water ; the
taw is the channel for it to flow in,
and •the spring is the bosom of
'God,
Every great and commanding
'movement in the annals of the world
• is the product of enthusiasm.
Wherever souls are being tried
and ripened, in whatever common.
place and homely way, there God
• is hewing out :the pillars for his
temple.
It is foolish to try to live on past
experience. It is very dangerous,
if not a fatal habit, to judge our-
selves to he safe because of some-
thing, that we felt or did twenty'
years ago.
Keeping Christ's commandments
- sleeps the eye clear and the temper
sweet and the will submissive and
the affections pure ; in these lie the
rich reward.

Bones. IN TEG LAUNDRY.—The ex-
cellent washerwomen of Hollaud
and Belgium, who get up their linen
so beautifully white, use refined
borax instead of soda in the pro-
portion of one largo handful of pow-
der to about ten gallons of boiling
water. Borax, being a neutral salt,
docs not in the slightest degree in-
jure the texture of the linen. Those
who try this will be pleased with
the results. It is also nice to wash
blankets or woollen goods in this
manner, •

ions of articles especially enitable
for the sterner sex, but among the
presents which will do equally well
for either father or mother, brother

brella cases ; chairs of more or less
elaborate workmanship, from the
pretty winker or rattan chair to
those which are profueely carved or
richly upholstered ; opera glasses,
gloves, handkerchiefs and handker-

Many of the large publishing
Louses keep on Bale picturse of
authors. Twenty-five Gouts will
buy the portrait of almost any well
known author. These are usually
wood -engravings and excellent of
their kind, well printed, on good
paper, in size about ten by twelve
inches. For the same picture on
India paper (which, of course, is
more durable and admits of a finer
impression) oue dollar may be asked
and the extra money will be well
spent. A neatly framed portrait of
the favorite author of a friend will
make a charming gift at but small
cost.
Many make it a practice to sub-.
scribe to some favorite magazine or
