Itolls up his eyes anderies, " Ah, me! How dreadful wicked sinners be !" And most intensely disapproves Of all sits save the siti he loves ; Is he the christian ? Bless you, he Ts just a snuffling Pharisce ! Who is he, then, the Christian man, How shall we know the blessed man t Is It he who feeds the poor with prayer, And gives them cant for clothes to wear! Is it he who with a solemn whine, Exhorteth me, but stealeth mine? Who, casting Satan out on Sunday, Invites him in again on Monday, And deems the foulest wrong is wright If it be covered well from sight? 1s he the Christian 7 Not a whit ; He's but a canting hypocrite ! Who is he, then, the Christian man? Come, let us see this wondrous man. Is it he who, ere the east is red, On week days blithely leaps from bed, And marches on with cherry song, To toil for memmon all day long; But Sundays sleeps till noon, and then Lolters to church and sleeps again ; Returns a visit, takes a ride, And deems his God Is glorified Is he the christian! Nay, I paint The feathers of a modern saint. Who-is he, the Christian man? Point out the noble-hearted man. Is it he, the pious soul, who pays For preaching by his chants of praise, And gives for fuel and repairs His exhortations, psalms, and prayers ! Then sits and sings with holy glee, "I'm glad, I'm glad salvation's free :" Nor of the wealth which heaven hath lent, Will ever yield the Lord a cent ? - Is he the Christian? If he be, Salvation must, indéed, be free! Who is he, then, the Christian man? plan?" Is it he who gives the Lord his pelf, And therefore lives to suit himself, ing the builded synagogue Absolves him from the Decalogue ? Who never fasts and seldom prays, But then how like a prince he pays ! And holds it cause for just complaint, Unless you reckon him a saint ; Is he the Christian? Nay, I guess Tlie Lord regards him something less. Who is he, then, the Christian man Bring forth at last the righteous man, It's he who, with a soul sincere, Loves God and holds his neighbor dear ; Denies himself, nor swerves from right In darkness more than in the light ; Who renders God and man their due, Even when no law compels him to, And builds his life upon the plan That serving God is blessing man ; Such men are Christians, but I fear They are not over numerous here. $ rhestions.

"Why do you keep him I" said Uncle John,| pouring out a glass of ice-water and leisurely sipping as he spoke, | " He must be an actual loss to you. Do you ' pay him full wages ? or do you deduct his ab- sences I" "" Oh, that would never do. His tei- per, when excited by liquor, is terrible.-- He would stop at nothing. The hext fire- alarm would sufely sound my fiumber.-- You know little about such men to ask me that." | "I hope that I do, and 1 shall never de- sire to know more," quietly answered the old gentleman." 'Do your apprentices and workmen go on by themselves indus-4 triously, or are they in the habit of wait- img for his return to get the wheels in mo- | tion?" | [ "Ihave been into the shop dozens of | times and seen every one idle, or playing +some game to wile away the time.

The men of his class all drink some--will have an occasional spree in spite of everything-- lager beer, 1 suppose, hurts no one.

But I sup- | pose T must make the best of it!" | The elder Warren bit the end of his pencil reflectively, while his nephew ex- i claimed: |" You give me the blues, Uncle | { John, bringing to my thouihts the way | that I am hampered.

Cigars 'are abom- { inably high ; I would not dare to tell you | what I paid for that last box ; but then I can't endure an inferior of al] cigar, things." Unele Jphn said nothing, but turning his face from the puffs of blue smoke curl- | ing lazily around the head of his disturb- { ed nephew, and toward the sunset, he | | watched the rosy glow in the west, . deep- | : | ening and | fading, for a time in perfect { silence. Glancing round at Bert's face, | he saw lLis!eyelids half drooping and his | features settling into an expression of re- | pose of an! extremely unintellectual pa. | ture. So, judging that any rhs ies concerning the beauties of the scone be. fore them would meet a .dull ear, he | brought him back to things mundane and | practical by observing: '"Can you ecaleu- late how many days in a month Higgins i is | generally absent 1" '""Always on Mondays.

Having thus refreshed himself, Albert, oras he was familarly called, ' Bert" | Warren, proceeded. " Harry don't work Sahar mY, has | three children and I but one, while youn have seen the finery his wife indulges her- self in. She is a'smart, capable woman, it is true, but how she dresses! I can't af- ford silk for my wife, nor a piano for my Jennie, and I know she has as much talent as Harry's girls. I can't understand it." "' Do you not like so see a woman dross as Harry's wife does? Her style always appeared to me. as the result of taste rather than extravagance. She bas silks, it is true, but exercises a judicious econo- my in the selection, and care in the use of her finery, as you call it. Being an old bachelor myself, perhaps I am not to be counted as an authority' upon such mat- ters, but 1 like to see 8 woman becoming- . |'ly dressed, and the best fabrics are the cheapest." Uncle John drew forth alittle memotandum-book and idly pencilled sun- dry itefns, 'as he continued. '"I have heard Harry rather boast of his wife's good management, and imagine that some of these silks you speak of were. a sort of roward. for the same." "I don't know about that ; bit I. can't » | afford it, that 1 know, and my wife is as good an ecoonomist. as his--it is all his" luck," rather hotly responded Bert, net- tled at what he considered a covert re: proof.

If he were only to be trusted I "would take Jennie and her mother aq I never could bear | i | involnntary laugh, which lacked any mer- | riment, however. | "Twodays in a week, them, and an | hour each day, besides occasional gala- | days;" says Uncle John, 'scribbling a few | | more items in his note-book. "Bah! that cigar has no flavor," and | | away went the stump into the dew-laden | grass beyond, as the speaker's chair came down upon its fore legs. '*' Come, let us go down town, uncle. Ifeel out of sorts, to-night, thanks to your. catechism." "I am sorry for you, but you will have to excuse me this evening, ps, I must ful- | fil an engagement I have made with Jen- nie to show her a little about shading her last drawing. She is coming on finely, and would make something mor: than a dabbler, if under the hands of a compet- ent instructor." " Yes, but my purse 'is too shallow.-- | Confound the luck, I can't aftord it!" And the two separated, pursuifig an en- | tirely distinct train of thought, evolved from the same circumstances. ~ Bert and Henry Warren were brothers, blessed with energy, brains, and health, each with a Helpmate after Solomon's pat- tern, " who looketh well to the ways of her household." Uncle John was at present an inmate oi the family of Albert. He was a bach- elor, and possessed of a comfoftable share of this world's goods, obtained by his own prudent management ani skill.: . ° An hour or 50 of the evening on which we make their acquaintance was spent most pleasantly by Jennie and her uncle over her drawing. 'Butas thé hour for retiring approached, and the head of the household returned jot, interest lagged, and the pencils were finally laid aside. -- They were beginning to ..cast anxious glances at the face of the venerable time- piece ticking away so sobetly iri' the corn- | er, when "his footsteps were heard ap- proaching : with a rapidity quite out of keeping with his usual deliberation, { As he enterell the parlor, his face wild and whole appearance agitated, they ex- claimed = tis the matter? Why are you so dn you ill, dear father?" and Jennie sprang toward him as he sank into the nearest seat, and, covering ' his face with his Fands, groaned o out rather than spoke: Ea "I have.seen ) man's hand lifted against i then his own life t.

They had | some ; for, bnick as thought, their hands: were upon each other. A pistol was | drawn, and one shot through the head.-- No sooner did the brother see / his work than he turned the revolver against him- self, and before any could ingerfefe he was in eternity." "Did you know the (parties 7" asked Uncle John, with a look on_his facé as if some personal hazard was inivolved in the answer he was to receive. "Oh! yes, I have met them frequently | at the place. They were men of pan hie position, in the reception of wn add Sogrg lal Ss /quiet--indeed, never very talkative, unless they had taken a glass or two--and much liked by all who knew them." ¢" Is the place an orderly ome 1" queried Uncle John, persistently. , ¢¢ Certainly," and Albert lifted his head with a look of some indignation, "I never ything contrary to the rules of pro- phiety there before, and I stop in nearly | every night on my way down town and get a glass of lager beer. I consider it an excellent tonic." : No reply was made to this, and few more remarks being passed, the group soonseparated for the night. Several days went by, after this occur- rence, with no allusion jal matters, One evening, as they --- after tea, on the piazza enjoying the coolness of the summer twilight, Jennie, at her "| father'srequest,sang several simple ballads. Her voice was clear," sweet, and, for a With cultivation, she J ng a high vy A a gave promise of r | Her father sighed heavily as she passed into the house, intent upon fulfilling some direction of her mother, trilling a merry song as she went. "If I was only a richer man, I would spare neither money or pains. That voice should be cultivated and her musical tal- | ent developed. But it is useless to talk, | there is np way opened." 1 think that I see a way to reach that | and some other privileges also, Bert, if you will listen to me and not be offended | at alittle plain speaking. I have been | taking notes, and have arrived at certain conclusions therefrom." Bert turned his eyes upon his uncle in | wonder, but held his peace, and waited further developments. '"T have a sum of money subject to my order, now lying idle, which would furnish a good and suitable instrument. This 1 | will place at your command for any length of time you may require, if you wish, and | will indulge me by trying an experiment. | Don't answer me to-night. Hear me through calmly and without any feelings of vexation." 'I am all interest to know your plan, Unéle John--or your experiment, as you term it." "You pay your foreman one hundred dollars per month, do you not 1" "Yes, I do." '* Because he is not steady, or faithful either to his own interests or those of his employer, your loss out of - that averages eight dollars per week from his negligence --this directly ; indirectly, you cannot es- | timate it ; and T know that the sum of | four hundred dollars per year must be far | below the actual figure; Dismiss him.-- Understand me, I should be the last to condemn for a single fault, or for many lapses ; T would strive by every means in my power to encourage the erring, if re. @entent ; but [.would no longer set a premium on vice.

Your workmen will" soon feel a change in the atmosphere, which will work a radical reform. Then comes, perhaps, a harder task" still--to .put the axe to the root of your pleasures. : These little selfish gratifications seen' trifles in themselves, but they sum up 'in a fearful aggregate, even in the light of dollars and cents; but in their influence upon the character, in their weight upon the soul, (which requires help, not hindrances,) who | can estimate it 1 Looking at the matter | merely in a pecuniary light, your two or three glasses of lager each night for a tonic, your two or three cigars, (for a sedative, I. suppose,) amount in the course of a year to a sum sufficient to secure the services of able instructors in both music and draw- ing. Thus Jennie could be provided for, and the path could be dpened to her and yoursell, not only for present enjoyment but possibly immense benefits in the future. | That page is mercifully closed to us; but | it often tarns darkly; and resources like 'these would keep the 'wolf from the door, 'and's feeling of independence in the heart. But I will bring my little lecture to an end; only asking you to think without offence of Uncle John's plan, and give me your decision in a dsy or two. Good- | night." 3 And he loft His somewhat nephew to his own thoughts. What these { were we must judge by the results. The conclusion was not reached without some effort and 'sonie stings of remorse, particularly as he remembered of a rather | sarcastic remark he indulged in once re.' garding *' Brother Harry's squeamishness" in employing none but strictly temperate men, and never needing tonics, or stimu- lants, or soporifics® himself. 'The good wife was taken info the ** council," and, lke a true woman, her influence . was thrown into the right scale.

It taught him to look to a higher source for strength, to trust in Providence, not in luck, and in the light of spiritual blessings which flowed in upon them, as well as enjoyments.
