Co,r.rp,am.Psace Women.

Heaven knows how many simple letters
from simple-mlndcd women have been kiss
ed, cheri.hel, ,or wept over by men OF far
lofier intellect. Therefore it was no mar
vel that the childish epistle of Hope Ansted
was read and re-read, with lingering eyes
and throbbing heart, So it will always be
to the end of time. 1t is lesson worth
leaning by those young creatures who seek
TO allure by their accomplishments, or to
dazzle by their genius, that though he may
admire, no man ever loyes woman for
these things. He loves her for what is es-
sent;ally distinct from, though not positis-
ely incompatible with them-her womai's S
nature and her woman's heart. That is
why we so often see man of high genius
or intellectual power pass by the De Stacls
and the Corinnes, to take unto his bosom
some way-slde flower who has nothing on
earth to make her worthy of him, except
that she is, what so few Of your 'lcmale

Kindness to Animals.

Kindness to animals is no unworthy eX-
ercise of benevolence. We hold that the
life of brutes perishes with their breath, and
that they are never to be clothed again in
consciousness. The inevitable shortness
then Of their existence should plead for
them touchingly. The insects on the sur
face Of the water, poor ephemeral things
who would needlessly abridge their dane
ing pleasure of to-day Such feelings we
should have towards the whole animate
creation. To those animals over which we
are masters, for however short time, we
have positive duties to perform. This seems
too obvious to be insisted upon; but there
are pefsons who act as though they could
buy the right of lii-treatng any of Gods
creatures.
We should never in any way consent tc
the ill-treatment Of animals, because the feai
of ridicule prevents our interfering. As tc
there being any thing really trifing in any
act of humanity, however slight, it is mora
blindness to suppose so. The few moment;
in the course of each day which man alb
sorbed in some worldly pursuit may careless
ly expend in kind words or triAing charities
to those around him, (and kindness to an ami
NAL is one of these,) are, perhaps, in the
sight of Heaven, the only time that he ha.
given to any purpose worthy of recording

Short Sermon Oh Honesty.

In all things willing 10 live honesy-Heb. viii le.
To live honestly is to live justly and
without reproach. 1t Is so to live that no
man, who knows how we live. can truly
say any harm of us. Nothing is honest
which is against justice or honor.
One may be able to keep odt of Jail, and
vet not "live honestly.' All stealing is dis
honest. 1t may be but pin, or marble,
or an apple, that we steal, but if we take it t
slyly, it is stealing. 1t is wicked to steal
from a brother, or sister, or parent. We
NAV not steal anything, even if we need it.
The eighth commandment is, "Thou shalt
hot steal"
We may also be dishonest in borrowing.
First, when we do not need what we Dor.
row and then when We keep it longer than
we need it, or do not take good care of it
and then send it home. If you purrew-a any.
thing, take good care of it, ,and send it hope
as soon as you have done with it. ''In 4
things live honestly"
Some are not honest in buying and sci.
ling. Their rule is to buy at all times a:
cheap as they can, and sell as dear as they
can. This is wicked rule. We offer
trade with those who do not know the
worth Of a thing bought or sold. 1t is
cheating them,t to make the best bargain we
can. Sometimes We trade with those who
are in great want, and we fix our own Prl'
ces, and make them much too high II we
sell or much too low if we buy. ihere Il

able young peasant woman of Ambo,ise
had been the wet-nurse of little Arab

helpless infant whom she had tended, till
from a half dying plant, it had become

more than quarter OF an hour the mother
Of the babe and its nurse remained in an
agony of grief, mutually embracing and
consoling each other, while the innocent
object of their care wept for company. AT

scenes to go through, as the little Arab

WonhIi and Home.

We clip the following from an exchange
without knowing its origin: 'Heaven did
not intend women to be the inmates of
boarding houses. They are out of their ell
cment in all such abiding places. There
are erratic exceptions to the general rule,
but the true sphere of really womanly
woman is her own home-her true "mis-
sion" to make her husband and her chill
dren happy. Her heart, more than her
head, "marshals her the way that she should
CO." Her affections, her wifely and moth
erly love, instruct her intellect, sharpen her
perceptions, and give force, energy, and
precision to her plans and purposes. Such
a woman prateth not for her sex's rights
mourneth not over its wrongs. She attends
no conventions, covets not the double-bar-
relied garment, demands not seat on the
bench, post in the State,or vote through
the ballot-box. Content with the position
assigned to woman by the Almighty at the
creation, and which the prophets, patriarchs
apostles, and the Saviour himself, have de-
clared to be most meet and seemly for the
weaker vessel" the good wife never at
tempts to overstep the limits of her appro-
pirate sphere, but makes that sphere a
charmed circle, within which the husband
and father is disburdened of his business
cares, and enjoys fullness of placid hap
piness which the outside world can neither
give nor take away. Fortunate is he who
hath such women to wife for she shall
not only smooth the roughness of his earth.

Tl,e Lungs.

On examination the lungs will be found
full ofinnumerable little holes. like sponge.
These holes are the cells into which the air
enters when we breathe. So great is their
number, they have been calculated to d.
mout to 170,0O0,000, forming surface
thirty times greater than the human body.
Every one Of these cells is provided with
a network of blood vessels, by which means
every portion of the blood is brought into
immediate contact with the air. When this
great amount Is taken into consideration
we shall at once feel how necessary it is to
supply pure air to the lungs with every

Parental Teaching.

If parents would not trust child upon
the back of wild horse without bit or
bride, let them notpermit him to go forth un-
skilled in self-govenment. If child is
passionate teach him by gentle means to
curb his temper. If he is greedy, culti-
vate hberality in him. If he is selfish pro-
mote generosity. If he is suky, charm
him out of 1t by frankness and good humor.
If he is indolent, accustom him to exertion,
and train him so as to perform even oner-
Gus duties with alacrity. If pride comes
in to make his obedience reluctant, subdue
him by council or discipline. In short give
youl children the habit of overcoming their
besetting SINS. Let them acquire from ex-
perience tha. confidence in themselves
Which gives security to the practised horse
man, even on the back ola high strung
steed, and they will triumph over the DIFF
6cultcs and dangers which beset them in
the path Of life.

Blessed are they that Mourn.

BY WILLIAM c. BRYANT.
o. deem not they are blest alone
Whose lives peaceful tenor keep;
The Power who pities man has shown
A blessing for the eyes that weep.
The light of smiles shall fill again
The lids that overflow with tears;
And weary hours of woe and pain
Are promises of happy years.
There is day of sunny feet
For every dark and troubled night;
And grief may hide an evening guest.
But joys shall come with early light.
And thou, who o'er thy friends low bier
Sheddest the bitter drops like rain,
Hope that brighter, happier shore
VIII give him to thy arms again.
Nor let the good mans trust depart,
Though life its common gift deny,
Though pierced and broken be his heart,
And spurned of men, he goes to die.
For God has marked each sorrowing day,
And numbered every secret tear;
And heavens long age of bliss shall pay
For all its children suffer here.

AnecdOte Of Burns.

Andrew Horner and Burns were pitted
against each other to write poetry. An ep.
igram was the subject chosen, because An
drew internally argued, 'it is shortest OF all
poems." In compliment to him, the COM
pany resolved that his own merits should
supply the theme. He commenced:
''In seventeen hunder thretty nine,"
and he paused. He then said, eye see, /
was born in 1889, (the real date was some-
what earlier, )so that make the commence
ment." He then took pen in hand, folded
his paper, with a conscious air of author
ship, squared himself to a table, like one
who considered it no trife even to write a
letter, and slowly put down, in good round
hand, as If he had been making out bill
of parcels, the lines
"In seventeen hunder thretty-nine,"
but beyond this, after repeated attempts. he
was unable to advance. The second line
was the Rubicon he could not pass. At
last, when Andrew Horner reluctantly adj
mitted that he was not quite in the vein,
the pen, ink and paper were handed to his
antagonist. By him they were rejected, for
he instantly gave the following, riua uoes !:
':In seventeen hunder thretty-nine,
The dell gat stuff to make swine,
And put it in a corner:
But shortly after changed his plan;
Made it to something like man.,
And called it Andrew Horner"
