Through love to light! Oh, wonderful the way
That leads from darkness to the perfect day!
From darkness and from sorrow of the night
To morning that comes singing o'er the sea!
Through love to light! Through light, O God, to Thee
Who art the love of love, the eternal light of light!

WORDS OF WISDOM TO THE YOUNG.

The history of heroes is the history of youth.—Dis

RAELI.

The age of chivalry has gone. An age of humanity has come. The horse, whose importance, more than human, gave the name to that early period of gallantry and war, now yields his foremost place to man. In serving him, in promoting his elevation, in contributing to his welfare, in doing him good, there are fields of bloodless triumph, nobler far than any in which the bravest knights ever conquered. Here are spaces of labor wide. as the world, lofty as Heaven. Let me say, then, in the language once bestowed upon the youthful knights, scholars, jurists, artists, philanthropists, heroes of a Christian age, companions of a celestial knighthood: "Go forth. Be brave, loyal and successful." And may it be our office to light a fresh beacon-fire sacred to truth! Let the flame spread from hill to hill, from island to isl

and, from continent to continent, till the long lineage of fires shall illumine all the nations of the earth, animating them to the holy contests of knowledge, justice, beauty, love. -CHARLES SUMNER.

Would to God some one had taught me, when young, the names of the grasses and constellations.-Carlyle.

Young men, terminate, I beseech you, in your own experience, the sad divorce which has too often existed between intellect and piety. Take your stand, unswerving, heroic, by the altar of truth; and from that altar let neither sophistry nor ridicule expel you. Let your faith rest with a child's trust, with a martyr's grip, upon the truth as it is in Jesus.-WM. M. PUNSHON.

You have often heard it said of such and such

"He is burning the candle at both ends." Spendthrifts waste both capital and interest; and by both neglecting business and wasting their substance on expensive pleasures, they burn the candle at both ends. The vicious not only exhaust their daily strength, but they draw upon the future of their constitutions, so that when a few years have gone they are old men before their time. Beware of burning the candle at both ends. It will go fast enough if you burn it only at one end; for your stock of strength and life is very limited.—SPURGEON.

A youth thoughtless, when the career of all his days depends on the opportunity of a moment! A youth thoughtless, when all the happiness of his home for ever depends on the chances or the passions of an hour! A
