CLEANING THE LIPS.

No feature in the face OF child is
lovolicr than the lips, with rows of
pearl white teeth playing hide and
seek behind them. But all some
times mouths which look like rose
buds, send forth words unfit for a
mothers ear--unft for the Ear in
Heaven. Some boys, who would not
dare to take Gods name in vain, say
what is coarse and impure, forgetting
that this, also, is sin.
We knew dear old lady. who,
many years ago, taught little pri-
vate school in certain town. Her
heart was pure, and, therefore, her
words were sweet. She loved the
blessed Savior, and cared most ten
derby for the lambs Of his fold. She
seemed to live in the little children's
world, rejoicing and suffering with
them. She had always something
pleasant to say, and a flower or kiss
to give so that the scholars loved
the school-housc next best to moth
er's room at home.
They never had to be sent to school
but ran off chcerfully before nine
o'clock that they might speak to hel
before the little bell rang. She be
lievcd what Solomon said about the
"rod of correction )" but, in some
way, she got along without using II
very often. Once her heart was deep
" wounded by hearing that little
fellow had spoken unclean words
when out at play. When forced t'
punish very little ones, she used tc
take them on her lap but as Mastel
Charlie was nine years old, she cailct
him to stand before her. Taking
both his hands between her own, an'
looking into his blue eyes, she asked
Have you been using wickct
words to-day, my dear ?"
Il didn't s,rear," whimpered Char
lie.
"Are you willing to go home ant
repeat all you have said in your moth
er's presence
Charlie hung his head and colore(
deeply, and whispered
"No ma'am, because it would Srlevt
her.

boy, that One who is far hoiier than
she. has heard in Heaven the naught,

CUTTING ROBBIE'S HAIR.

And so this little household flower

There is no denying that the curls
need trimming they are too many
and too thick, and they make the lit

The South CarOlinianS.

The Colonial Flag" we read in
the newspapers, was "hailed with in
tense enthusiasm in Charleston" We
do not doubt this fact-the "Coloni-
al Flag" was always popular in
South Carolina, and during the Amer
lean Revolution that State, with a
Northern army to assist her, could
not even preserve her capital from
falling into the hands of the British.
The inhabitants of Charleston, as a
body, preferred to return to their allie
glance to the British Crown, rather
than to aid Gen. Lincoln to save it.
So general was the detection to the
patriotic cause, and so many of the
people of South Carolina bowed their
necks anew to colonial" vassalagc,
that sir Henry Clinton considered his
triumph complete, and communicated
to the British Ministry the intelligence
that the whole State had yielded sub
mission to the royal army, and had
become again a part of the British
Empire.
Soon after the fall of Charleston, and
when disaifection to the American
cause was 50 general, two hundred
and ten persons, who styled them
selves to be the "principal inhabi,
tants" of the city, signed an address
to Sir Henry Clinton, in which they
stated they had every inducemcnt to
return to their allegiance, and ardent.

wiped them dry with soft napkin,

A WESTERN LANDLORD.

A gentleman and lady were travel
ling in Michigan, and having missed
the stage, were compelled to take
private conveyance from the town OF
Scuderi to Thomastown. The lady
had with her beautiful lap dog,
which she carried in her lap on an en-
broilcrcd mat. During the ride, the
husband discovered that he had no
handkerchief, when the lady lent him
hers, which was fashionably scented
with musk. About half way between
the two towns, the carriage broke
down, in the midst of a hard rain, and
they were obliged to take refuge in
the halfway housc-a "one-horse
log cabin, consisting Of two rooms
bar-room and lodging room. The
lady laid her lap dog on its mat be-
fore the fire, and herself and husband
took seats. In short time the gen
tleman had occasion to use his hand
kerchief, and took it out, leaving 1t
on his knee when he got through with
| it. In a few moments the landlord
opened the door, put his head in, look

at the dog nostrils all the while
