The EUe of the Nec1le.-T

The Eye of tie NecdIe.-The
scriptural simile, that it is harder
for a rich man TO enter the kingdom
of Heaven, than for a camel to
60 through the eye Of a needle, has
puzzled many an unlearned head,
but is clearly explained by a mod
ern traveller.
In the East, all walled cities have
a small gate along the side of the
great gates, which is called, in the
tigurative language of that region,
the eye of the needle" When it
is understood that the large gates
are closed at night and that a
person entering afterwards, must
pass through the "eye of the nee
de-" through which he can take
his camel, if he desires to do SO,
only on divesting him of his bur-
den, and causing him to kneel
down, the metaphor is as clear as
it is simple and beautiful.

Lying to Chldrea.-The Rev.
Robert Hall had SO great an aver
sion to every species of falsehood
and evasion that he sometimes
expressed himself very strongly
on the subject. The following is
an instance stated in his life by
DR.. Gregory: Once, while he was
spending an evening at the house
Of a friend, a lady, who was there
on a visit, retired, that her girl
Of four years old might go to bed.
She returned in about half an
hour, and said to a lady near her,
"She is gone to sleep; put on
my night cap and laid down by
her, and she soon dropt off" Mr..
Hall, who overheard this, said,
excuse me, madam, but do you
wish your child to grow up a liar?''
ooh dear, no, | should be shocked
at such a thing" '|Then bear
with me while l say, you must
never act a lie before her; chill
dren are veiy quick observers,
and soon learn that that which
assumes to be what it is not, is a
lie, whether acted or spoken. -
This was uttered with q kindness
which precluded ofense, yet with
a seriousness that could not be
forgotten.

To Care Scratches.-When the
horse comes in at night, his legs
should be washed.clean and rub
bed as dry as may be, then apply
good vinegar, rubbing it well to
the skin. Two applications a day

found it a sure preventive and a
certain cure. If the legs have be-

vinegar freely and add piece Of
