for Just comparing ideas as TO the weather.

"Safe TO steer By.''

When the great Teacher first pronounced
the memorable comparison Of a good man
with conspicuous city, his eyes may have
been looking to the ancient town of Saphet
which stood upon lofty elevation, high
above the waves of Galilee 1t was in full
sight and seen from afar. Itwas if He had
said, ''Ye are like yonder city of Saphet,
set upon hill" That city is always there,
always in one place, lifting its white domes
to the morning sun, and flashing back his
evening rays from his high battlements. 1t
is an object to take the compass by-an OBJ
,iect by which the traveller from Syria and
Lebanon may guide his steps. The fisher
man, as he pushes his light shallop over
the placid bosom of Genesareth, knows
which way to steer his little craft, for. yon,
der looms up Saphet, the city on hill.
The dwellers hard by knew which way wa
north, and which way was south, by look
ing toward the lofty city. 1t was Away
on hilly throne.
So it is with a man of Bible principle; ht
is moral Saphet. Other men can steer b.
him. Other men often judge of the Wis
dom or righttulness Of things by the posi-
ton which he occupies. He is on hill
firm, well established, not seeking to b.
conspicuous, but yet not ashamed to be seen
1t requires u sound conscience to be all this
1t requires grace. 1t requires holy ant
consistent living. This controlling and di
recting goodness of character is not attain
ed but by prayer, watchtulness, self-denlai
and careful walking with God.

The Mystery.

Two darkies had bought a quantity Of
pork IN partnership; but Sam having no
place to put his portion he concluded to en-.
trust the whole to julius keeping. The
next morning they met, when Sam said

The German Generals.

in command Of the Army of Potomac,
showed less gencralship than was displayed
BY any other General at the head Of an ar

Fredericksburg, he is still retained in an
important position. The same may be said
OF Hooker and other Generals, noted more

Kindness to Animals.

Gentleness, like charity, is twice blessed,
the effect of which on the animals around
the homestead, are scarcely less noticeable
than upon the family of your house hold
Noman can be truly kind to thelatter without
letting his cattle feel the influence of his
spirits. Soft words and kind looks turn
away wrath among the cattle as among
mankind. Harshness has its curse in the
hatred which brute beasts feel though they
can only show their scorn by occasional kicks
or bites, and by general ''ugliness, as it is
called. An ear of corn, or little salt, or lock
of hay, or even kind look or gentle action,
such as patting your horse, has influence
more or less in making your appearance al
ways a source of plasure to the animals
around you. It is cheap luxury, this
rendering even the brute beasts comfortable
around your homestead.

Hard on Brigadiers.

Orpheus C. Kerr, in one of his letters
from Washington, is severe on Brigadiers.
He says;

Every day is written this little sentence
died yesterday, so and so. Every day
the flower is plucked from sunny home, q
breach is made is some happy circle-a Jew
ell stolen from some treasury Of love. Each
day from the sunny fields of life, some har-
vester disappears; yea every hour some SEN
tlnel falls from his post, and is thrown from
the ramparts Of time into the surging wa
ters Of eternity. Even as we write the
tunerel Of one who died yesterday, winds
like shadow along the street.
''Died yesterday . Who died? Perhaps
il was gentle babe-one whose laugh was
the gush of a summer rill, lettering through
a bower Of roses, whose life was per-
petual litany-a May-time, crowned with
the passion flowers that never fade. Or,
mayhap, it was youth, hopeful and gen
erous whose path was hemmed with flow
ers, with not u serpent lurking underneath;
one whose soul painted for communion with
the great and good, and reached forth in
an earnest struggle for the jordan in the
distance. But that is still now, he ''dieC

Queer Little Incident.

In the great fair at New York the police.
when they arrest pickpocket, march him
around the whole extent of the passage
ways, with big label pinned on him
'pickpocket. Among those arrested were
couple of " ladies', and they too were thus
treated. They couldn't stand it and bursted
out crying before they had marched half way
round; and there arose cries of shame"

If all thieves are to be thus treated, there
are two or three hundred loyal Office
holders at Washington, TO say nothing of
scores in other places, who ought to be
conspicously iubeled, in front and rear and
marched around the country on exhibition.
