\ TRoTrING MATCH.-At certain
splendid evening party, a naughty beau
ty turned to student who stood neal
her, and said
Cousin John, understand your &C.
centric friend l. is here. Do bring
him here and introduce him to me.
John went in search Of his friend
and at length found him lounging on a
sofa.
Come, l. said he "my beauti.
ful cousin Catherine wishes to be introdu
ced to you"
"Well, trot her out, john" drawled
l., with an affected yawn.
John returned to his cousin and ad.
viscl her to defer the invitation to more
favorable time, repeating the answer he
had received.
The beauty bit her lip, but the next
moment said "Well, never fear, insist
upon being introduced.
After some delay l. was led ur
and the ceremony of introduction per.
formed. Agreeaby surprised by the
beauty and commanding appearance OF
Catherine, l. made a profound bow
but instead Of returning it, she stepped
backward, and raising her glass, surveyed
him deliberately from head to to foot
then, waving the back of her hand toward
him drawled out

Still more she needed all she earned in

"And has been till now making itup 2"
"Shc has worked little beyond her

looked poor and jaded, clear tired out"
81 paid her all she asked"
All she asked What a shameful pre-
varication to hide a shameful meanness.
Yet woman calling herself christian
was guilty of it, And others have been
guilty of the same meanness, and thought
it would lie hidden. As if it could be.
As If it did not stain the sonl, pinch the
features and hamper the gait, As if the
generous Giyer of all things would not
stamp it everywhere with shame.
Mrs. Mills new black silk went to
church on Sunday, rustling bravely along
the aisle and into every pew, drawing
much attention and observation, much to
her qualification. In prayer Mrs. Mills
bowed her head with an air of solemnitv,
and the new silk rusted low, but in sing
ing time Mrs. Mills stood up and the silk
rustled loud and shonc lustrous for the
edification of all the vicinity. The cler-
gyman read the words of the apostle
81 will that women shall adorn themselves
in modest apparel, with shame-facedness
and sobriety, not with broidered hair, or
gold, or pearls, or costly array" But
Mrs. Mills never thought that his COM
mand was addressed to her. Did anyone
else? | wonder who? Why is not this
part Of the scripture obsolete? ? Have we
not new Christianity which admits of
pride and vanity, self-seeking, unkindness
and expressions, or are there very many
calling themselves Christians who have
never learned Of Christ, and are anything
but Christians save in name?

The Beggar Woman.

During time of death poor beggar-
woman, miserably clad but very clean,
went through a village asking aims.
From some doors she was driven away
with harsh words, from others she received
few crusts or other refuse, too mouldy
Or decayed to be eaten by the family.
One poor laborer, however, noticing her
destitution, invited her into the house,
made her sit by the stove, and his wife
cut off from a fresh baked loaf liberal
slice. The poor old woman enjoyed the
warmth and food, and with many thanks
went on her way. The day following all
the villagers We're invited up to dine at
the castle. As they entered the dining
room they were astonished to observe that
on the great table were many dishes,
with here and there bits of mouldy bread,
raw turnips, and a handful of bran
nothing more. On small table at-the
head Of the hail was spread an array of
all sorts of nice things
The lady of the castle stepping for
ward, welcomed her guests, and then
said
Il was the disguised beggar woman who
yesterday passed through the village,and
| was anxious to know how, in these hard
times, the poor Jared, and thus put your
benevolence to the proof OF all, these
two poor people shared with me their
