The Large Umbrella.

Not long ago, great drought prevailed 10
some OF the midland counties of England
Several pious farmers, who dreaded lest their
expected crops should perish Tor lack of
moisture, agreed with their pastor and others
to have special prayer, to petition God to
send the needS2'a rain, They met according
~; and the minister coming early, had time
to exchange kindly greetings with several of
his flock. He was surprised to sec one of his
little Sunday scholars bending under the
weight of huge old family UMBRELLA
Why, Mary" said he, CIV hat made YOU
bring that umbrella on such lovely mornino
as this I " The child gazing on his face with
evident surprise at the inquiry, replied.
" Why, sir, thought as we were going to
pray to God for rain, I'd be sure to want the
umbrella" The MINISTER smiled on her and
the service soon after commenced Whilst
they were praying, the wind rose, the sky. be.
fore so clear and bright, became overcast
with clouds, and soon, amidst vivid flashes of
Lightning, and heavy peaIs Of thunder. a
storm OF rain deluged the country. Those
who attended the service, unprepared to re-
ceive the blessing they sought, reached their
homes drenchcd and soaked, whilst Mary and
her minister returned together under the fam
lily umbrella.

CONSTANT EMPLoYMENT.-Th man who is

port his family, knows not the unhappiness
he prays for when he desires wealth and idle.
ness. 10 be constantly busy is to be always
happy. Persons who have suddenly acquired
wealth, broken up their active pursuits, and
begun to live at their ease, waste away and
die In very short time. Thousands would
have been blessings to the world and added
to the common stock of happiness, if they
had been content to remain in an humble
sphere, and earned every mouthful of food
that nourished their bodies. Persons who
are always busy, and 60 cheerfully to their
daily tasks, are the least disturbed by the
fluctuations of business, and at night sleep

Romance Of the Needle.

What a wonderful thing is this matter of
sewing! 1t began in Paradise, and was the
earliest fuit of the fall. Amidst the odor
of flowers, and by the side of meandeiing
streams and under the shade of the dark-green
foliage, the covering forms of the guilty pro-
genltors okour race bowed in anguish and
shame, as they took their first lessons in that
art which has ever since been the marx Of
servitude and sorrow y And yet the curse has
not been without its blessing.
The needle with the thimble has done moro
for man than the needle of the compass. The
needle-work Of the Tabernacle is the most an
cient record Of the art. Early used to adorn
the vestments of the priests, it was honored
by God himself, and became type of beauty
and holiness, 1.-The kings daughter is all
glorious within; her clothing is of wrought
gold she shall be brought unto the king in
raimeDt of needle-work." The magnifcence
of kingly pomp, the imposing spectaces Of
religion or wealth, the tribute Of honor to the
great, the charm of djgnifed society, the re-
fined attractions of beauty, are dependent up
on the needle,-ChriSti0n IntelHgemcer.

The RIGHT KIND OF A No1sE.-Rigid dis
ciplinarians 10 the army are often annoyed Nv
the religious zeal OF Christian soldiers, but
great generals, like Cromwell and Yelling
ton, know how to turn this zeal to good SER
vice. Here is characteristic anecdote of
Gen. jackson
An officer once complained to General
jackson that some soldiers were making
noise in their tent
" What are they doing? 2" asked the Gen.
eral.
They are praying now, but have been
singing" was the reply.
"And is that crime ? " the General de-
manded.
1.-The articles of war order punishment fo;Y
any unusual noise" was the reply.
God forbid that praying should he Al
usual noise in my camp" said jackson,
much feeling, and advised the officer to
them.

grcA must haves abundance DC


lsPostant part Of the dutyof thea1pfse-
maid is to take the children out several hours
every fine day, including the infant. One of
the most beautiful pictures in the London
parks, and, indeed, everywhere all over En-
gland, is the innumerabe nurse maids, them
selves radiant with health, with their still
more radiant children. Thus the English
girl is early trained to habit and love of
walking that she never loses, and in this way
secures round limbs, and expanded chest, and
ruddy countenance while still child. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that the shoes Of En-
glish children have thick soles, and that their
clothing throughout is very carefully adapted
to the season and the weather
l am afraid that American mothers will
laugh when say the mothers Of England
are very particular not to allow their children,
before they are old enough to walk, to sit
much on the carpet as it is posture unfa-
vorable to erectness and fulness of figure,
They are therefore taught, with especial pains,
to roll themselves on the carpet, and to lie on
the stomach all of which has direct tenden-
cy to secure a perpendicular spinal column,
and broad, full chest.
1t is beautiful feature of English families
that the children, instead of being pushed in
to prceocious maturity of dress, and man
ners, and habits, are children all along their
parents love to have it so--smple, free, joy
Gus, playing, laughing, romping all they can
1t is not the least Of the advantages Of this
that when womanhood comes, as come it will
in spite of everything, it sets easily and grace
fully upon them.
English children do not go to fashionable
parties, or keep late hours. 1t is specia
study provide for them abundance ofhe0hhs
sports, and above all to make home radiant
with cheerfuness through the day; and wher
the night comes, the young misses, instead o
staying up and being called ladies', are called
girls, and sent to bed.-Happy Home.

Make Home Bright and Plea

More than building snowy mansions
More than dress and fine array
More than dome and lofty steeples--
More than station, power and sway
Make your home neat and tasteful,
Bright and pleasant, always fair,
Where each heart shall rest contented,
Grateful for each bounty there.
More than lofty, swelling titles
More than fashions lurid glare
More than Mammon's gilded honors--
More than thought can well compare,
See that home is made attractive,
By surroundings pure and bright,
Trees arranged with taste and order,
Flowers with all their sweet delight.
Seek to make your home most lovely,
Let it be smiling spot,
Where in sweet contentment resting,
Care and sorrow are forgot!
Where the flowers and trees are waving,
Birds will sing their sweetest songs,
Where the purest thoughts will inger,
Confidence and love belongs.
Make your home a little Eden,
Initiate her smiling bowers,
Let neat and simple cottage
Stand among bright trees and flowers.
There, what fragrance and what brightness
Will each blooming rose display,
Here, a simple y1ne-clad arbor
Brightness through each summer day.
There each heart will rest contanted,
Seldom wishing for Il roam,
Or, if roaming, still will cherish
Mem'res of that pleasant home
Such a home makes man the better,
Pure and lasting its control
Home with pure and bright surroundings
Leaves its impress on the soul.
