Two Sundays Every Week.

The United States of America always
was the greatest nation in creation, y
as everybody who has listened to a
Fourth of July grafton we'll knows
But since our annexation of the Russian
possessions, we have taken one.more step
ahead. Other, and less happy, great and
powerful nations have their peculiar
points of which to boast. England brags
that the sun never sets on her flag; France
that her eagles have flown in every capi-
tai of Europe. But the United States
can now boast of the most wonderful
fact of all "a fact that no other nation
can ever approach, and may not hope to
rival. We have now in this happy Re-
public, two Sundays every week. AS
now may be seen by the following extract
from Mr Summers pamphlet of our new
Russian purchase GAS the settlement
of this coast came. eastward from Russia,
bringing with the Russia flag western
time, the day is earlier by twenty.four
hours with them than with us, so that
their Sunday is our Saturday, aud the
other days of the week are in corresponds
ing discord. This must be'rectified ac.
cording to the national meridian, so that
there shall be the same Sunday for all,
and the other days of the week shall be
in corresponding harmony.

How We Act, and Not How We Look.


80 Tommy, what a funny little wo-
man come and see p cried Harry Wilde,
as he stood at the window of his fathers
house in pleasant English town. Tom
my ran to the window and looked out, and
laughed louder than his brother. 1t was
indeed funny sight to see. In the
midst OF pelting rain, through mud and
running water, there waddled al ong the
queerest, quaintest little rolypoly figure
you can imagine. 1t was dwarf woman,
who though no taller than a child of sew
en- or eight years, wore an enormous bon
net, and carried an overgrown umbrella.
Her clothes were tucked up about her in
queer way, and altogether she was
very laugh atable little creature.
AS she passed, she looked up, and such
an odd face as she had The nose was
large and long, as though it had kept on
growing after the other features gave out.
Indeed it was so big that the eyes had
got into way of looking at it constantly,
which did not improve their beauty
The hair was bushy and lively red, but
humored, and the little crossed eyes had
a merry, kindly twinkle in them
"Well," said Harry, "if was such an
absured- looking body as that, l wouldnat
show myself. I'd hide by day, and only
come out by night, like an owl wouldn't

eyes," said the little boy, and then
asked
'Did God make her Harry ?"
"Why, yes; He made what there is oe
her, suppose, but it wasn't worth while
to 60 on with her %
Il should like to know of what use
such poor wee thing be" said Harry.
Struggling his shoulders.
"God knows" said Mrs. Wilde, and
He did not make her in vain"
The next day was Christmas. The
rain was over, and it was clear and cold.
"Hurrah !" cried Harry from the win
dow "here's our wee bit woman again.
Her hair is as fiery as ever. [ wonder
the rain didn't put it out. She might
warm her hands in it, if it were not for
carrying that big basket"
"Mrs Wilde, reproving Harry for his
thoughtless speech, looked out The
dwarf was trudging slowly along, bearing
heavy basket. The good lady was seiz-
ed with strong desire to know more
about the strange little creature so she
hurried to her room, put on bonnet and
cloak, went out and follow ed after her,
quietly. She had to go long way be-
fore her curiosity was satisfied; but at last
she saw the dwarf enter miserable house,
in the suburbs of the town. Mrs. Wilde
stole up to window, and yentured to
look in.
She saw the dwarf surrounded by
crowd Of shouting children, to whom she
was giving Christmas cake, toys, and
clothes from her basket. She saw her
give food and medicine to poor woman,
who lay on bed in corner. She heard
her say, "Haye the Goals come 2" and the
woman answered, "Yes apd the blankets;
God bless you p' She saw her take up
the baby, feed it, and play with it-so
! big baby that Mrs. Wilde thought it
ought to take turns in tending, with the
good little dwarf.
Then the lady turned away in tears,
and went home When she had told
Harry what she had seen, he blushed
deeply, and Tommy said, ''God knew bet

was good for didn't he %

his addresses to lady for some time, pop
ped the question )" the lady, in freigh-
tened manner, exclaimed, "You scare. me
sir" The gentleman did not wish to
frighten the lady, and consequently re-
mained quiet for some time, when she
exclaimed "Scare me again !" We did
not learn how affairs turned out, but
should think that it was pretty near his
turn to be scared.
