pAID IN YOUR OWN com.


'Grandmothor, hate to 60 away from
you; you like me, nobody else does. Last
night George Bodin and had quarrel
struck him and he struck me. Nobody likes
me-" Peter Jones said this as he was sitting
on his trunk ready to start for home.
"EIe only paid you in your own coin, said
grandmother people generally do.-a blow
for blow, cross words for cross words, hate
for hate
al don't know but it is So" said Peter,
looking very sorry, but it is poor sort of
coin.
GLOW different it would be ifyour pockets
were full of the right sort of COIN said
grandmother.
"What kind" asked Peter.
1.-The coin of kindness" said grandmother.
"If the great pockets of your heart were full
of that sort of coin, the more you d get back,
for you are generally paid in Your own coin
you know then how happy you would be-"
1.-The coin of kindness repeated Peter
slowly; "that is good coin isn't it? l
wish my pockets were full Of it, grandmoth-
er. If I'd be kind to the boys, they'd be
kind 20 me-"
"Just sc" said grandmother.
Peters own mother had died. After that
he was sent to grandmother's for he had a
quarrelsome, fretfui temper, and his aunt could
not manage him with the other children
His grandmother dealt kindly and patiently
with him, and helped him to improve him
self. Peter now had new mother, and his
father had sent for him to come home. Peter
did not want TO 60 He felt sure he should
not like his new mother, and that she would
not him. "Ihat depends upon yourself,
Peter" said grandmother carry love and
kindness in your pocket, and you'll find no
difficulty" The idea struck the boys mind
He wished no could, he said.
"And the best Of IT is" said grandmother,
''if you once begin paying it out, your pockets
will never be empty, for you'll be paid in your
own coin. BE kind and you'll be treated
kindly love and you'll be loved"
IL wish could said Peter.
All the way home he more or less thought
OF it. ! do not know about his welcome
home, or what his father or new mother said
to him. The next morning he arose early,
as he was used to at grandmother's, and came
down stairs, whore everything being new, he
felt very strange and lonely ~ know
shan't be contented here" he said to himself,
81 know shant. I'm afraid there's not a
bit Of love in my pocket"
However, in little while his now mother
came down, when Peter went up to her and
said, "Mother, what can do to help you -
my dear boy" she said, kissing him on
the forehead, chow thoughtful you are" |
thank you for your kind offer and what can
do to help you for am afraid you will be
lonely here at first coming from your dear
good grandmother's."
What a sweet kiss was that. 1t made him
so happy. "That's paying me in more than
my own coin, thought Peter. Then he knew
he should love his new mother; and from
that good hour Peters pockets began to fill
with the beautiful bright coin of kindness,
which is the best "small change" in the
world. Keep your pockets full of it, boys
and girls, and you will never be in want

We have experimental carefully on the

Before pressing the juice from currants pass
them between pair Of rollers to crush them.
after which they may be placed in a strong

by light pressure, such as common screw,
weight, &c. To each quart Of juice add three
pounds Of TRIBE refined loaf sugar-single re-
fined is not sufficiently pure-then add as
much water as will make one gallon. Or, in
other words, suppose the cask intended to be
used be 80 gallons. In this put 80 quarts of
currant juice, 90 lbs. Of double refined sugar,
and Gil the cask to the bung with water roll
it over until the sugar is all dissolved. This

placing the car TO the bung-holc. a slight
noise will be heard such as may be observed
when carbonic acid il escaping from cham

tinuo for few weeks converting the sugar
into alcohol. As soon as this ceases, drive
the bung in tightly, aud leave the cask for six
months, at the end of which time the wine
may be drawn off perfectly clear and with
out any excess Of sweetness.-M Massachusetts,

THE WEST POINT INVESTIGATING
COMMISSION

Our readers may rocollect good deal of
discussion, at the last session of Congress,
in regard TO the questions of five or four
years course Of studies at West Point The
present programme occupies five years.
About six years ago it superseded one of four
years, and was introduced to supply want
sensibly felt in the insufficient carly prepare
tons Of many Of the candidates for admission
into the institution. An effort was made in
the House Of Representatives last winter, by
an amendment to the Army Appropriation
Till. 90 return to the old four year system,
but was rejected by the Senate, and the mat
ter was compromised by the appointment, at
the recommendation Of committee Of con
ference Of n Joint commission, to consist OF
six members-two from the Senate, two from
the House and two from the Army--to re-
port upon the organization, discipline and
studies Of the academy at the next session Of
Congress.
The members Of this commission arc Sena-
tors Davis of Mississippi, and Foot Of YER
mont; Winter Davis and John C5chrane OF
the House, and Major Anderson and Captain
Humphreys Of the army The board conven-
ed at the library rooms at the Academy at
West Point on the l 18th inst, and the coun-
try will be interested in the result Of an in
quiry, so extensive in its range, into the con-
dition Of an institution which has earned its
reputation through the labors Of more than
half a century, and given to our army char
acter which compares favorably in every re-
spect but in numbers with that Of any in Es-

Hour by hour the days are hssting.

More and more the strength Is wasting
Soon the spirit will depart.

Pour fresh rapture on the soul

THE SUNDAY SCHooL CAusE.-The Sun
day School enterprise is receiving at the pre-
sent time more attention from the Christian
world than ever before. Ministers and lay
men Of all denominations are turning their
attention to the religious education of the
young. We see this in the growing prospect
ty Of the different Sunday School organize
tons. SO far as we can discover, all arc pros
porous. The American Sunday School Union,
one of the grandest instrumentaities ever
put in operation for the extension Of religious
truth, has, within the past year, established
over two thousand Sunday Schools where
none existed before, and gathered together
over $4,000 children. This is great work
for one year, and greater than the Unicn ever
before accomplished. Representing, as does,
different denominations, it can 60 into
waste places where there are people of all
sorts of religious belief and organize Sunday
schools. In the course of time these schools
will become connected with some church or,
as in many cases, church will grow out of
the school,
In our State many Of these schools have
recently been organized by the missionary of
the American Sunday School Union, in places
where none prcviously existed. 1t would be
Of no avail to disguise the fact that we have
many places in Massachusetts that need such
help. The best way often to establish a
church is to start in the first place Sunday
school. In one town, which the missionary
alluded to above visited little time since, for
the purpose of organizing n school, we are in
formed that the people began to catechise
him relating to his UNCONVENTIONAL views I;
for, said they, "if you come here with sec
tartan preiudiccs YOU can do nothing We
have Baptists, Cungregrationalists, Unitari-
ans, Spirituals, &c, among us, and we can't
unite, but If you want to start a Union school,
we are ready So a school was started and
is now one of the most fourishing in that
section. This work will, of course, commend
itself to every Christian man, and we wish
it the largest measure of success.-Bosion

CONSTANT EMPLoYMENr-The man who
is obliged TO earn the ueoessarios of life and
support his family knows not the unhappi-
ness he prays for when he desires wealth and
idlcness. To be constantly busy is to be al
ways happy. Persons who have suddenly ac-
quired 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 tho world, and
added to the common stock Of happiness, if
they had been content to remain in an humble
sphere, and earned every mouthfu Of food
that nourishod their bodies Persons who
are always busy and 20 cheerfully to their
daily tasks, are the least disturbed by the
fluctuations Of business, and at night sleep
with perfect composure.
