INGRATITUDE TO PARENTS.

There was once a father who gave up
everything to his children--his house, his
goods-and expected that for this his chill
dren would support him. But after he had
been some time with his son, the latter
grew tired of him, and said to him:
Father, had son born to me this
night, and there, where your armchair
stands, the cradle must come. Will you
not, perhaps go to my brother, who has a
larger room p
After he had been some time with the
second son, he also grew tired of him, and
said
Father, you like warm room, and that
hurts my head. Wont you go to my broth
er, the baker 2"
The father went, and after he had been
some time with the third son, he also found
him troublesome, and said to him
Father, the people run in and out here
all day, as if it were a pigeon-house, and
you cannot have your monday sleep
Would you not be better off at my sister
Kates near the town wall 2"
The old man remarked how the wind
blew, and said to himself: Yes, | will do
so l will go and try it with my daughter.
Women have softer hearts" But after he
had spent some time with his daughter, she
grew weary of him, aud said she was al
ways so fearful when her father went to
church, or anywhere else, and was obliged
to descend the steep stairs, and at her Sis
ter Elizabeth's there was no stairs to de-
scend, as she lived on the ground floor
For the sake of peace the old man went
to his other daughters. But after some
time, she too was tired of him, and told
him, by third person, that her house near
the water was too damp for man who
suffered from the gout, and her sister, the
grave-digger's wife, at ST. Johns, had
much dryer lodgings. The old man him
self thought she was right, and went out
side the gate to his youngest daughter,
Helen. But after he had been three days
with er, her little son said to his grand
father
Mother said yesterday to cousin Eliza
beth, that there was no better chamber for
you than such one as father digs"
These words broke the old mans heart,
so he sank back in his chair, and died.

NUMBER A.

There were burns, and broken limbs, and
black eyes, but there was no death and
soon | saw Richard Janes-pale and faint
but out of danger-standing before me-
couldn't believe God had been so good to
me.
Then that old white-haired doctor mount
ed on pile of burned logs and lifted his
hat, and there were three such cheers as
were never heard before, and at dozen
boys sped in to Baldwin to ring the joy
bells and women came crying to thank
me for helping to save their dear ones-so
that for shame | went and hid myself in
BaIdwin's Woods and CRIED with my head
hidden in my arms, on the old log where
the violets were.
Then somebody came softly up the path
and sat beside me, and bent over me, and
took me singed and smoke-stained as | was,
in two white arms--and only one of all the
world could do that--and without looking
knew it was Annie.
"My noble, brave darling" she said ;
"my own dear that | am so proud Of !" and
sobbed and kissed me.
"They are so happy, too" she said ;
"and Mr. James is only scorched and burn
ed very little, and old Mr.. Redford is re-
conciled to old Mr. Williams, and they will
be married after all They are SO fond of
each other, Seth--as fond as you and l."
And then | stood up and put her gently
from me, and made atonement for my sin
by an awful sacrifice. | told her the truth
what | was, and what had done, and
why, and waited to hear her renounce me.
She did not do it. She was shocked and
grieved, but she pitied me, and | dared to
take her in my arms and call her mine

been an evil spirit in my breast, and that
he left me forever at that moment.
1t was some time before the factory was
rebuilt, and some had been injured, and
many were out of work. knew my du-
ty. To those in need came little gifts of
money every week. with no clew to its
donor, until my savings were all gone.
So we did not buy the three-roomed cot
tage, and perhaps never shall but penni-
less as l was, she married me, and we are
happy
Mr.. James and Miss Redford are married
too and when we sit in church she smiles
across the pews to that little wife of mine,
and l think, with a pang of terror even yet,
from what Gods mercy saved me.

CANT CooK-It is a sad defect when young
ladies are incapable Of directing their own
servants-shoes without soles or wrist
bands without a shirt are not more useless
than one of these One day, shortly after
his marriage "a young merchant went home,
and seeing no dinner ready, and his wife
appeared anxious and confused asked
"What is the matter 2"
Nancy went off at ten o'clock this
morning." replied his wife, "and the cham
bermaid knows no more about cooking
dinner than a man in the moon"
couldn't she have done it under your
direction inquired the husband, very cool
ly.
"Under my direction? l should like to
see dinner cooked under my directions"
"Why SO ?" asked the husband in sur
prise.
"You certainly did not think could" re-
piled the wife chow should l know any
thing about cooking 2"
The husband was silent but his look of
astonishment perplexed and worried his
wife
/" You look very much surprised" she
said, after a moment or two had elapsed.
"And so | am," he answeed, "as much
surprised as l should be at finding the cap
tain of one of my ships unacquainted with
navigation. You don't know how to cook,
and the mistress of family janet there
is a cooking-school anywhere in the city,g
to it and complete your education, for it is
deficient in very important particular"

A WORD to MINIsTERs.-The ministry
should be wide awake to the dangers which
threaten to counteract their influence and
oppose their word. AS an important part
of the Gospel morality, they should preach
temperance, warning every man and pledg-
ing every child and youth to eternal Wig
lance against the insidious foe The min
istry, closely followed by the church should
lead off in this work and there should not
be an hour of needless delay. The same
zeal which patriots have manifested in put
ting down the shareholders rebellion, should
be shown in putting down the rebellion
caused by strong drink. Rum, if not de-
throned, will curse this nation more than
slavery ever cursed it, for intemperance is
the slavery of the soul, and is infinitely
worse than chattled slavery. We give
you a fair warning, brethren. The enemy
is organizing for the conflict. If you love
God or, man, grid yourselves for the bat
tie, and fight for religion, humanity, and
victory Leave no work undone, no instru
mentality urtried for temperance is the
great work of the hour-ZiOn'S Herald.

LONG AND SHORT HA1R-Many customs
have prevailed among the fair sex respec-
ting the mode of arranging the hair, and
they have right to adopt a variety of
changes but cutting the hair short, and
wearing it like boys, is not commendable.
Men heve, at different times, worn the hair
long. This has ever been condemned as an
unscriptural custom In the days Of Charles
the First, of England, the cavaliers who
despised close religious forms, wore long
hair, while the Puritans cut theirs short,
and were called Ground heads" 1t has
been calculated that, by continual cutting
and shaving of the hair, about seven feet
length is removed from a man in twenty
five years Some writers assert that the
practice of close cutting and shaving tends
to weaken the body. Such writers draw
powerful argument from old Samson, who
when all unshorn slew several thousand
Philistians with the jaw bone of an ass.

WELLD1GGING IN CHINA.-There is story
of tipsy fellow who attentively examined
cane. .bottomed chair, and wondered who
around those little holes. In China they
dig well somewhat as this fellow suppos-
ed they made cane-seats They make a
hole first, and then dig place to put it in
"a pit twenty feet deep is dug, by which
time water is nearly reached Boards
about an inch thick are then placed at the
bottom in the form of circle, in the centre
Of the hole, its diameter being seven feet,
which is to be the width of the well at its
bottom. Round this wooded circle cylin-
der ofbrick is then constructed to the height
of ten feet, the bricks being carefully joined
by mortar. The outside Of this cylinder is
then covered with mating and tightly
roped round. Poles are then driven into
the ground at short intervals all round the
outside of the cylinder, and in close op-
position with it, These are secured by ad-
ditional lashing of rope applied round and
over them The inside Of the cylinder is
then lined with mating, which is secured
by ropes passed down vertically and
brought out underneath the cylinder, where
the two ends are fastened and the rope
frightened. By these means any dislodg-
ment of the bricks is physically impossible,
and the structure is rendered as compact
as if it was made of metal The strength
ening of the brickwork having been com
pleted, they commence to dig inside Of it,
and as the earth is removed from the in-
terror, the cylinder gradually sinks by its
own weight, the excavation being contin-
ued until the upper margin of the cylinder
has reached the level Of the original hole
twenty feet deep The well of thirty feet
is thus formed, and rapidly finished in the
most complete manner by building up
continuation of the brick cylinder until it
reaches the level of the ground

CoURAGE-Man cannot come to his full
growth of character and influence without
courage The term is from coeur, "heart, "
soul" 1t is not mere physical instinct.
1t is not the spirit that animates those men
of whom it may be said, They are brave
in proportion as they are without though" "
Courage is rather that deep conviction, or
that solid purpose, which gathers strength
by delay
We are told that icebergs in the north
ern seas are sometimes seen moving north
ward, in the face of strong winds and tides
setting toward the south This movement
is explained by the fact of deep undercur-
rents drifting along at the base of the ice
mountain, and moving it with irresistible
power So the real courage of the soul is
power which stems and goes counter to su-
perfcial tides. 1t is principle of self-pro-
pulsion moving in the direction of reason,
aud conscience, and heart 1t is that rare
power of the soul which is able to say of a
proposed Undertaking, ut may be difficult,
it may be costly, it may be odd, but it is
right and I dare to do it One of the
greatest triumphs Of courage is to dare to
be ones self-to stand in ones own shoes,
accepting ones own personality, addressing
ones self to ones own responsibilities, en-
vying none, initiating none.

TIME.

Though centuries after centuries pass,
And earth is deep with human clay,
The Traveller with his scythe and glass
Pursues his even way
Onward. still on, in change and death,
We trace his steps in every cline,
And natious tremble at the breath
Of stern old conqueror Time.
He points his fingers to the walls
Oftemples towering to the skies,
ind DER their dust his footsteps fall,
And loftier ones arise;
Tie rules supreme Ger earthly things
The great, the glorious, the sublime;
The august dome, the throne Of kings,
All own their conqueror, Time.
He stills the forum and the mart,
He fills a thousand sculptured urns,
And they in ages roll apart,
And dust to dust returns.
And genius, with thy pallid brow,
Thy naughty lip, and eye of fire
Old Time shall conquer even thou.
The pencil and the Tyre.
And Ger those grand ancestral piles
Where ivy ever green is spread,
And through those dark and solemn aisles
Where sleeps the mighty dead,
And DER the proud triumphal arch
Where erst victorious chiefs We're crowned,
He passes in his silent march,
And hurls them to the ground.
Well let his ivy banner wave
Ger palace dome and castle tower,
And let him trample on the grave,
EyUItant III his power;
There IS a realm beyond the tomb
purer cline, fairer shore,
Where Time comes not to blight the bloom,
And death shall be no more.
