a CoMMAsDaEST CRAcKEp.-A little girl, who
vas tempted By the sight of basket Of oranges, ex
posed for sale in store, and quietly took one; but
Afterwards stricken by conscience returned it. At
ter her return home she was discovered In tears and
on being asked the cause Of her sorrow, replied,
sobbing, Mamma, haven't broken any Of the com
m2ndments, bat think I've cracked one g little.
TIE GREAT DEFENSE OF CHRIsTIAEETE.-So one
having made Just observation deny that the Cos
pie elevates all who are IN anyElse obedent 70 KS
feats principles or spirit While all other religions
debase Christianity alone has proved Itself able 70
exaf and ennoble its disciples. 1t has raised en-
tire nations out ofthe horrible darkness ofbarbaTsm.
Ii has aroused the duest minds 20 the putting forth
Of marvellous powers; and it has duickened souls
dead ia tresspasses aud IN sins with the fame Of a
new Life These are facts incontroyerlble. They
contain the argument and demonstration of the d.
vine origin and power of our religion which no
sophistrg can refute.
MAID SERyAxrs.-The only way for q Eomau to
secure peace and comfort in her household IS to have
"a fex other women around her as possible, espeel-
ally m Dependant position. There Is natural an
tag0nism between them which viii assert itself m
thousand ways. How mauy Irish girls go grumbsIng.

WHEs AyD How TO FIsD FsULr.-Find fault, when
yoa must find fauls IN private, if possible, and some
time after the Oense, rather than at the time The
blamed are less inclined 10 resist when they are
blamed without Witnesses Both parties caIner,
and the accused person may be struck with the for
5earalce Of the who has the faHlt aud
watched for private and proper time for mention
ing It. Never be harsh unjast with your children
or servants Elrmuess- with gentleness of demeanGr
and regard to the feelings, constitute that authori
ty which Is always respected and valued. Ii you
have any cuse TO complain Of servant never speak
hastily wait az all events, until you have had time
to reflect on the nature Of the ofease; and If you
must then reproye i win not be under the inhenee
Of anger.
TIE EsB AND Flow or BEAUTY.-Beaaty makes
its own fashions when it comes: and we must re.
member that It is not once a beauty and always q
beeuty. People are continually being disappointed
IN children IN this respect; cheFubs grow Up into
ogrsst-mouths widen most pOrsentfousy about four
teen years DID, dImples about that time often vanish,
and noses then can lengthen or crook, or even snab
and it Is fortunately the same the other way too
thai faces ugly in the cradle may quite change by
twenty. Some peoples beauty comes very late IN
deed. and those who have been repEguaut In their
youth and maturity may look splendid in old age
Gray hairs and white heards become some folks Won
