M1scE11ANHoUs READINGS.

TRUE CHAHITY.-The late Archbishop of
Bordeaux was remarkable for his tolerance
and his benevolence. The following anec-
dote will not be read without interest. "My,
lord" said u person to him one day, here
is poor woman come to ask for charity
what do you wish to do for her7" +" How
old is she ~ - Seventy" Is she in great
distresse" "She says So" "She must be
relieved: give her twenty-five francs."-
Twenty francs is too much, my lord,
especially as she is n Jewess." "a jew
ess ?" !" Yes, my lord" ooh, that makes
a great difference. Give her fifty francs,
then thank her for coming"
DoN'T BE ExTRAvAGANT.-If the poor
house has any terrors for you, never buy
what you don't need. Before you pay three
cents for jewsharp, my boy, ascertain
whether you can't make just as unpleasant
n noise by whistling, for which nature fur
nishes the machinery. And before you pay
seventy five dollars for coat, young man,
find out whether your lady-love would not
be just as glad to see you in one that would
cost half the money. If she would not, let
her crack her own haZel-nuts and buy her
own clothes.
When you see IL man spending two or
three dollars Il week foolishiy, the chances
are five to one he'll live long enough to
know how many cents there are in dollar,
| and If he don't, he's pretty sure to bequeath
that privilege to his widow. When a man
asks you to buy that for which you have no
use, no matter how cheap it is, don't say
yes until you are sure some one else wants
it in advance. Money burns in some folks
pockets, and makes such big hole that
everything that is put in drops through,
past finding.
Four IMPOSSIBLE THINGs.-First, to es-
cape trouble by running away from duty.
Jonah once made the experiment, but he
soon found himself where all his imitators
will, In the end, find themselves. There
fore, manfully meet and overcome the diff
culties and trials to which the post assigned
You by Gods providence exposes you.
Second, to become II Christian of strength
and maturity without undergoing severe
trials. What fire is to gold, that is Attic
ton to the believer. 1t burns up the dross
and makes the gold shine forth with unal-
loyed lustre.
Third, to form an independent character,
except when thrown upon their own re-
sources. The oak, in the middle of the
forest, If surrounded on every side by trees
that shelter and shade it, runs up tall and
sickly; but away from it's protectors, and
the first blast will overturn it. But the
same tree, growing in the open field where
it is continually beat upon by the tempest,
becomes its own protector. So the man

-THE-M0NKEY-AND-F HE-HAWK.-The
cook of a French nobleman, whose chateau
is In the south of France, had o monkey
which was allowed the free range of the
kitchen, and which was SO intelligent that
by pretty severe training, its natural pro-
pensity to mischief had been subdued, and
it was even taught to perform certain use
full service, such as plucking fowls, for in
stance, at which it was uncommonly expert.
given to it to pluck. The monkey took
them to an open window of the kitchen,
which looked directly upon the park, and
went to work with great diligence. He soon
finished one, which he laid on the outer
ledge of che window, and then went quietly
watching his proceedings from a neighbor-
ing tree, darted down upon the plucked
partridge, and in minute was up in the
tree again, greedily devouring his prey
The CONSERVATION of the monkey at this un-
toward adventure may be easily imagined.
for losing it. He hoped about in great dis
tress for some minutes, when suddenly
bright thought struck him. Selling the re-
naming partridge, he worked with great en-
ergy,. and stripped off the feathers. He
then laid it on the ledge, just where he had
shutters, concealed himself behind it. The
hawk, which by this time had finished his
meal, very soon swooped down upon the
partridge; but hardly had his claw touched
the bird, when the monkey sprung upon
him from behind the shutter. The hawks
hoo or /
with a triumphant chuckle, proceeded to
strip off the feathers. This done, he car
ried the two picked fowls to his master, with
a confident and self-satisfed air, which
seemed to say: "Here are two birds, sir
just what you gave me-" What the cook
said on finding one of the cartridges con-
verted into hawk, is more than we are able
to tell.

tic of the mode of life. The hunter insect
which leads a wandering life has his eyes
brought near ON an eminence in such
manner that he can look around him and
which remains habitually in an open place
has the eyes wide apart.
/ RIRD ARcHIrEcrURE.-M. Pouchet has
lately published book which treats of the
architecture of birds. M, Pouchet has had
drawn from nature n great number of nests
of a very curious construction which are
preserved in the museum of Rouen The
Sylria Sutoria. Latham.l copied from a
representation i'm the possession of the mu-
scum of London. This nest is very rare ;
it is composed of two or three leaves, very
long and lanceolated, the edges of which
the bird hens carefully together with the
aid of a flexible blade of grass which serves
as thread. The female afterward fills with
cotton the species of little bag formed in
this manner, and lays it's pretty progeny in
this soft bed which the winds cradle. What
one would hardly believe is, that birds do
not cOnfine themselves always to construct
shelters for the protection of their family !;
there are some, it appears, which sacrifice
to luxury, and build for themselves pleasure
houses and groves destined for amorous
promenades. The speckled chlan,yder, de-
scribed by Gould, offers us the unexpected
example. This is an exotic bird, which re-
sembies our partridge; it is distinguished
from it by its deep color, relieved by clear
spots, and by its neck, which is adorned
with Il red collar. To construct their
nuptial dwelling, the couple proceed
methOdically. For it's location they choose
an open place, exposed to the sun and to
the light. Their first care is to make a
path Of round pebbles; when they deem it
to be sufficiently thick, they begin by
planting in it little avenue of branches.
They are seen for this purpose to bring
from the country slender shoots of trees Of
about the same size, which they thrust
solidly, by the thick end, into the interstices
of the stones. These branches are disposed
in two parallel rows, convergng little in

LITTLE THINGS IN RELIGIOUS LIFE
Little words, not eloquent speeches nor SER
mons; little deeds, not miracles nor battles,
nor one great act or mighty martyrdom,
make up the Christian life. The little. con-
slant sunbeam, not the lightning; the wa
ters of Sloan, "that>go softly" on their
meek mission of rcfresfment, not "the
waters of the river great and mighty" rush
ing down in torrent noise and force, are the
true symbols of holy life. The avoidance
of little evils, little sins, little inconsistent
cies, little weaknesses, little follies, little
| indiscretions and imprudences, little foibles
little indulgences of self and the flesh, little
acts of Incidence or indecision, or slovenli-
ness or=cowardice, little CONGREGATIONS or
| alterations from high integrity, little bits
| of worldliness and gayety, little indiffer-
| ences to the feelings or wishes of others,
little outbreaks of temper and crossness, or
selfshness, or vanity the avoidance of such
little things as these goes far to make ZIP at
least the negative beauty of n holy life
And then attentions to the little duties of
the day and hour, in public transactions or
private dealings, or family arrangements I;
to the little words or tones little benevo-
lences or forbearances, I~tendernesses :
little self-denials, self-restraints, and self
thoughtfulness; little plans of quiet kind
ness and thoughtful consideration of others :
punctuality, and method, and true aim in
the ordering of each day; these are the
active developments of holy life, the rich
and divine mosaics of which it is composed.
