LORD CHATHAM'S ADVICE. The distinguished Earl of Chatham said to his son, "I would have inscribed on the curtains of your bed, and the wal of your chamber, If you do not rise early, you can never make progress in anything. If you do not set apart your hours of reading, if you suffer yourself, or any one else, to break in upon them, your days will slip through your hands unprofitable and frivolous, and really unenjoyed by yourself." " FORGIVE AND FORGET. One of I heard two little girls talking under my window, them said, in a voice full of indignation: "If I were in your place, I'd never speak to her again. I'd be angry with her as long as I lived." I listened, feeling anxious about the reply. My heart beat more lightly when it caine. "No, Lou," answered the other in a sweet and gentle voice; "I wouldn't do that for all the world. I'm going to forgive and forget just as soon as I can. "" GOOD HUMOR. Our advice to all is, indulge in good hearty soulful laughter when the opportunity offers, and you will derive benefit therefrom. A merry heart, a cheerful spirit, from which laughter wells up as naturally as bubbles the springs of Saratoga, are worth all the money-bags, stocks and mortgages of Wall street. The man who laughs is a doctor, with a diploma endorsed by the school of Nature; his face does more good in a sick room, than a pound of powders or a gallon of bitters. A DESOLATE VALLEY. War has made the once beautiful Vale of Roses, and neighboring valleys south of the Schipka Pass, a desert filled with horrors. A correspondent of the London Times writes: "All the way from Schipka to Yeni Saghra, at which place we took the rail, the air is polluted with the remains of the killed. The bodies of men, women and children are to be met with in all stages of decomposition at the roadsides, in the cornfields and gardens, on the banks of streams and in the beds of rivulets. Some hundreds were choking the shallow river within a quarter of a mile from where we camped at Yeni Saghra." Desolation and ruin appeared along the whole way. The remains of formerly prosperous villages, which it was impossible to pitch tent even near, rippling mountain streams in which our horses refused to drink, the howling of wolves around us at night, brought down from the mountains earlier than usual by the horrid feasts prepared for them (the largest I have ever seen lay dead, evidently recently shot, by the side of the road) not far from Yeni Saghra, and, worse, the occasional shrieks from human beings, followed by solitary rifle reports, which made one shudder more than the damp night air-all these sights and sounds went to form one great horrible phantasma- PUBLICATIONS OF THE AM. PEACE SOCIETY goria, which none of us are likely to live long enough to remember without pain." THE LITTLE PEACEMAKER. Little Mary was on her way to the Sunday-school, when she saw two ragged boys fighting. She at once went to them and said, "You must not fight Strange to say, she succeeded in putting an end to the quarrel. Having done so she said to the two boys, "I am going to Sunday-school; will you come with me?" After some gentle entreaty on her part, they were induced to go with her to the Sunday-school. Twenty years after this occurrence, a minister was addressing a large gathering of children. Among other things he told then what Mary had done twenty years before. He then said, "Would you like to see Thomas, who was one of those two ragged boys twenty years ago?" "Oh, yes," cried the children. Pointing to a gentleman on the platform, he said, “That is Thomas, and he is a minister " Now," he said, "would you like to see James, who fought with Thomas? "" 99 was the response. Yes, yes,' "Well," he replied, "I am Ja nes, and I am a minister, too." Now would you like to see Mary who took the two ragged boys to the Sunday-school?" The children, now quite interested, at once cried out; " Yes, yes; let us see Mary.' Pointing to a lady sitting in front of the platform, he said, "That is Mary with a blue ribbon on her bonnet, and she is my wife." Sir Isaac Newton, a very wise and godly man, was once examining a new and very fine globe, when a gentleman came into his study who did not believe in God, but declared the world we live in came by chance. He was much pleased with the handsome globe, and asked : he "Who made it ?" 66 Nobody," said Sir Isaac: "it happened here." The gentleman looked up in amazement at the answer, but soon understood what it meant. ANGEL OF PEACE, four pages, monthly. 5 00 Friends of Peace.......... PEABODY. Thomas Stimson LAWRENCE W. I....

In a natural and well-told English story, the course of a truly conscientious disciple of the Master, at the sacrifice of worldly station and substance, is portrayed with much power. It is not always that the reward comes so quickly and richly in the present life, as in this tale; often it is bestowed in the city that hath foundations," but its bestowment is always certain.

BIBLE CHRONOLOGY MADE EASY! Two numbers of the ADVOCATE are combined in this issue. We trust our worthy patrons will not complain when we assure them, that we are doing the best we can, with the funds at our control, to give them in condensed form columns crowded with the most excellent and freshest peace matter. We hope the time is near when we shall be able to send out the ADVOCATE more promptly. More money, more promptness The American Peace Society has an honored history, and is entrusted with one of the greatest reforms of the age. We see the need and value of Peace principles in our own, and in other lands. A few years since, our beloved land was deluged in fraternal blood. A severe strain is upon us at this hour. The cry comes from all quarters, "Give us honest dealing and Peace." Can there be any possible doubt, that Peace Societies and Peace efforts have been advanced; and crowned with the how to use it, sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of Divine blessing? We think not. Universal Peace will come, and in that day, will it be nothing to have had a part in hasten ing the grand consummation? Let each friend of our holy cause, at once, contribute something as an offering on the altar of Peace and good will. Yours in the great work, ADVERTISEMENTS. THE MESSENGER OF PEACE is published monthly by the Secretary of the "Peace Associa tion of Friends in America." It is filled with facts and arguments to prove that war is unchristian, inhuman and unnecessary. That if men and women of intelligence were as anxious to find a remedy as they are to find an apology for war, this self-imposed scourge of our race would soon be banished from the civilized world. It advocates the brotherhood of mankind, and that we cannot injure another without injuring ourselves. Terms, 50 cents per annum, in advance, or 5 copies sent to one address for $2.

It has already accomplished much good, and would doubtless accomplish vastly more, if it possessed adequate means. We think it deserves, as it certainly needs, a large increase of funds. The American Peace Society, charged with the care of this cause in our own country, and whose management has deservedly secured very general approbation, we cordially commend to the liberal patronage of the benevolent."
