both BY precept and example, may we
study that our words may be all powerful.
Nor is this the only Improvement this
century can boast OF. Love of country
and liberty has risen to the grandeur and
power OF a national passion. The Union
has been made doubly precious by the
blood it's maintainance has cost, and has
attained a strength that no mortal force
can destroy. The chains of the weary
bondsmen have been loosed and he is
now enjoying that liberty which he has
SO long longed for Freedom, formerly
the abstract political theory, has become
household benefit, out ofwhose content
ment flow peace and happiness, and we
now live amicably under one common
nationality.
As we look back into the vista Of past
ages we have seen the light of knowledge
gradually dawn, growing brighter and
more resplendent; but our rivulet has not
become Niagara, nor has it yet reached
the ocean of intelligence And what
mighty agent has accomplished all this !?
Education both moral and intellectual
Then how important that we should be
interested in the education of the youth
Exertions should be constantly made to
elevate the standard of public education.
Men Of education and influence in this
great Republic, if you wish to see peace
and plenty reign, and the bright hopes of
the future realized, look well to the edu-
cation of the youth in our land uphold
and sustain our public schools-manifest
an interest in them, and ace, who hold
the responsible position of cultivating
these immortal minds, these great store
houses into which thoughts must be gar
nered, let US try to preserve that liberty
which our fathers through Gods
blessing, have won, and aim to impress
upon their minds the lessons Of truth and
justice, and our land may yet be blessed
with true loyal sons and daughters, whose
watchword will ever be ''God, immortali-
ty and Progress"

THE DOOR STEP.
BY f. C. STEDMAN.

The Conference meeting through at last
We boys around the vestry waited
To see the girls come tripping past,
Like snow birds waiting to be mated.
Net braver he that leaps the wall
By level musket flashes litten,
Than | stepped out before them all,
WHO longed to see me get the mitten.
But no, she blushed and took my arm!
We let the old folks take the highway,
And started toward the Maple Farm
Along kind of lovers by-way.
| can't remember what we said,
Twas nothing worth song or story;
Yet that rude path by which we sped
Seemed all transformed and in a glory.
The snow was crisp beneath our feet,
The moon was full, the fields were cleaning
BY hood and tippet sheltered, sweet
Her face with youth and health was beaming
The little hand outside her muff- -...z
Q Sculptor, if you could but mold It'll
So lightly touched my jacket cuff,
To keep it warm had to hold it.
To have her there with me alone,
Twas love and faar and triumph blended;
At last we reached the foot-worn STONE
Where that delicious journey ended
She shook her ringlets from her brow,
And with q "Thank you, Ned" dissembled
But yet knew she understood
With what daring wish I trembled.
A cloud passed kindly overhead,
The moon was slowly peeping through it,
Yet hid its face, rs if it said, ..
"Come, now or neyerl do it do ii P'
Ny lips till then had only known
The kiss of mother and of sister,
But, somehow, full upon her own
Sweet, rosy, darling mouth kissed her.
Perhaps twas boyish love, yet still,
y, listless woman weary loveri
10 feel once moro that fresh, wild thrill
I'd give-but who can live life over

READING ON MISUNDERSTANDING per-
sons injure their eyes by reading on
swiftly-moving trains: So much litera-
ture is sold on the cars; we are so pressed
for time; it is SO convenient to peruse our
morning and evening paper as we come
from or go to our homes in the suburbs;
that, in spite of warnings to the contrary,
we yield to the temptation. It may do
no harm to glance at the headings, and at
the loaded print, but let any one, taking
days Journey ON the cars. as from New
York to Boston, undertake to read a book

PEOPLE OF THE ORKNEYS.

The following is from Daniel Gorrie's
"Summcrs and Winters in the Orkneys"
The peasantry as class are frugal and
industrious, grave in demeanor, and
quiet in their ways. It is rare to find
one of their number who can neither read
nor write, and they seem all to have been
we'll grounded in the facts and doctrines
of the Bible. Their piety is Of old, simple,
sincere, undoubting, unquestioning type.
A certain rudeness ofspeech and manner
which once characterized the people, has
disappeared under the influence of wider
culture, and earnest evangelical preaching
in the multiplied churches of the islands
The celebrated visit of the Haldanes,
towards the close # the last century, pro-
duced beneficial results, and helped the
formation Of religious habits. Whatever
may be the case in other parts of Scotland,
Sunday is still kept with integrity. In foul
weather or fair the people troop from their
cottages regularly as the day returns,
and the families that live farthest from
the church are generally first in their
pews. An increase in the number of
churches has made Sunday sailing le IS
common or necessary than in former
years; but fisher boats, laden with wor-
shippers-gray hared old men and white
hooded matrons--may still be seen gliding
across the ferries between Egilshay and
Rousay, or Papa Westray and Westray.
While high tone of morality aud religion
pervades the mass of the Orcadian peas
antry, it must be acknowledged that the
ghost superstition has not yet been finally
laid IN the old realm of the Valkyre.
'Trow tax thee may be set down as an
innocent bogy phrase, intended to frighten
children, and indicating no real belief in
the existence of a nineteenth century
malignant race of fairies or dwarfs. The
fantastic notion, still preserved in curious
legends, that drowned people were changed
into seals, has also passed away.
Old women, however, still retain an un-
accountable aversion to turbot, and avoid
naming this excellent and respectable fish
when crossing sounds and bays in boats
Some people also deem it unlucky to call
things by their proper names at particular
times, and there is strange prejudice
against turning boat 'widdershius,' or
contrary to the sun, at the beginning of
voyage. In certain districts the people
only marry when the moon is growing,
believing the waning moon is fruitless-
a superstition which recalls the words of
Theseus in the Midsummer Nights
Dream"
"Chanting faint hymns to the cold, fruitless
moon"
Thursday is also esteemed the luckiest
day in the week for marriage In former
years the belief prevailed that if COW
were killed when the moon was waning,
the beef wo'd dwindle in the pot Should
the first lamb of The season be white, the
omen is good; but the appearance of a
black lamb is deemed unfortunate. So
late as 1914 there lived an old beldame
in Stromness, named Bessie Miller, who
sold favorable winds to mariners at the
low charge Of ofsixpence.

An Ohio editor is getting particular
about what he eats, and expresses him
self after the following fashion: "The

had too much hair in for butter, aud not
quite enough for waterfall. There is

SLURS on WOMEN.

At recent meeting IN this city, at
which no ladies were represented, man,
in responding to the toast on Woman, !,
dwelt almost solely on the fralitg of the
sex, claiming that the best among them
were little better than the worst, the
chief difference beingin the surroundings
At the conclusion of the speech gentle.
man present rose to his feet and said ;:
Il trust the gentleman. IN the applica-
ton of his remarks, refers to his own
mother and sisters, and not to ours"
The effect of this most just snd time
ly rebuke was overwhelming-the malig-
ner of woman was covered with confusion
and shame. o-
This incident serves an excellent pur'
pose in prefacing few words which we
have for long time had it in our mind
to say. Of all the evils prevailing among
young men we know of none more blight
ing in its moral. effects than the tendency
to speak slightingly of the virtue of
women. Nor is there anything in which
young men are so thoroughly mistaken as
the low estimate they form of the integri-
ty of women-not of their own mothers
and sisters, thank God, but of others,
who, they forget, are somebody else's
mothers and sisters.
AS rule, no person who surrehder5 to
this debasing habit is safe to be trusted
with any enterprise requiring integrity OF
character. Plain words should be spok-
en- on this point, for the evil is general
one and deep rooted. If young men are
sometimes thrown into the society of the
thoughtless, they have no more right to
measure other women by what they see of
these than they would have to estimate
the character of honest and respectable
citizens by the developements OF crime IN
our police courts.
Let young men remember that their
chief happiness in life depends upon their
utter faith in women. No worldlywls-
dom, no misanthropic philosophy. no gen.
eralization, can cover or weaken this fun
damental truth. It stands like the re-
cord of God himsclf-for it is nothing
less than thi8-and should put seal upon
lips that are wont to speak slightingly OF
women-Packdr6'S Monthly.

TRADE IN SCOTTISH PEARLs.-1t is
! chiefly during the last seven years that
pearls of Scotland have bulked largely
in our gem commerce, although desul-
tory kind Of collection had been carried
on for half century. Many a peasant
used to have a few of these exquisite
gems slowed away, perhaps in an old pill
box, or disused teapot; these the guide
wife would dispose of to chance travel
er for a few shillings, obtaining maybe
a pound note for the lot, or she would
barter them with a packman for a shawl
or gown. But now, good ready money
can be obtained for any quantity of Scot
tish pearls, there being no lack of buyers;
and, as most newspaper readers will see
from occasional paragraphs, considerable
sums are occasionally paid to the finders
of marketable pearls. A quarter of q
century ago, fve-pound would have
been considered munifcent reward for
the finding of any single pearl, however
beautiful in shape or pure in lustre; but
specimens have been taken within this
year or two that brought ten times that
sum-indeed, it has been whispered that
one or two gems have been found in Scot
tlsh waters which were sold for mora
than hundred guineas each, and any,
body can read that in ireland at one time,
specimens of pearls were frequently OBJ
tanned of the value of from four to eighty
guineas. - CdSSeWs Mdoazi1,e.
