ARE THE ANGELS WHITE.-A
little boy having said that the
snow was beautiful because it was
white .like the angels, bis mother
asked him, "Wbat makes you
you think the angels are white ?"
"Why, mamma" he replied,
"don't the Bible say Of the angel
who rolled away the stone from
the sepulchre, that his countenance
was like lightning and his raiment
Dhite as snow?
| love that little boy for his
thoughtfulness. He might have
given another reason for his be-
lief that angels are white. They
are sinless creatures, and white is
the color which represents purity.
If children are pure, they, too,

sight of God. They also will DO

Every boy should have his head,
his heart and his hand educated.
Let this never be forgotten. By
the proper education of the head,
he will be taught what is good
and what is evil, what is wise and
foolish, what is right and what is
wrong. BY the proper education
of the heart he will be: taught to
love what is good, wise and right,
and to hate what is evil, foolish
and wrong. And by the proper
education of the hand, he will be
enabled to supply his wants, to
add to his comforts, and to assist
those around him. The highest
objects of . good education are,
to reverence and obey God, and
to love and serve mankind.-
Everything that helps us in at
tanning these objects is Of great
value, and everything that him
ders US is comparatively worth
less. When wisdom reigns in the
head, and love in the heart, the
man is ever ready to do good !;
order and peace reign around, and
sin and sorrow are almost un-
known.

Feminine Beauty.

Men in society have, from time
immemorial, so raved about beau
ty in woman, and poets in rhyme
and romance have so sung its
praises, that it would be natural
to conclude only beauty lovable in
the sex. And the proverb, "Men
lose their, hearts through their
eyes, and women through their
ears" not only corroborates the
the idea. but makes it appear that
in our sex, the senses-and in the
opposite sex, the intellect-pre-
dominate. Men set sufficient store,
the godslknow, upon physical come
illness in woman. But, after all,
it appeals to them as an effect
rather than a cause, and is out
weighed by a dozen other qualities.
-Beuty commands, but it does
not win; it attracts, but it does
not hold. And if it be not ans
wered by some inward beauty, it
soon disappoints; and may, by
constant suggestion of disharmony,
at last repel, just as fair flower
invites US. We admire its form,
its color, it's daintiness. But
when we pluck it and find it scent
less, q reaction comes that borders
on disgust. We feel we have been
cheated by a counterfeit, and the
flower looks homelier than if it
were less fair. "
So there must be something
more-a vast deal more.-than
personal beauty in woman, to
make her, for any length Of time
pleasant in our eyes, much
less grateful to the heart. What
that something is, it is difficult to
say; but it is expressed in the
word interest-which to convey
the exact idea, should be inter-
estingness. How or why any one
interests US we can not determine.
Ofthe fact we are convinced be-
yond argument, but we are in
capable of annalyzing the subtle
agencies that produce the effect.
This eapaclty to interest is not
a necessary concomitant of per-
sonal eomeliness, but, 90 the con-
trary, is Independent Of it-at
least, in many cases.

A SENSIBLE ENGLISH NOBLE
MAN.-The New York Commercial,
noting the fact that the Duke Of
Argyll, Secretary for the British
Indian Department, fully recog-
nizing that there is no opening
for young men in the civil service,
has placed his youngest son in a
commercial house, in the tea trade,
thinks this is an example that is
worth following. 1t is a rebuke
to the snobbishness Of parents,
that applies with just as much
force on this as on the other side
of the Atlantic. The Duke of
Argyll's course is in mortifying
contrast with the action Of too
many OF our officials in the "medel
republic" Some of our public
men really seem to think that the
public service is q sort Of huge
crib especially established for the
benefit Of their relatives and de-
pendants. There is also another
view. Fathers frequently do their
sons a positive injustice in training
Them up for the oyer-stocked pro-
fessions for which they are mani
testify unsuited, and at which they
can seldom obtain a decent living.
Many a good tailor and shoe
maker has been lost to society in
this way. There is kind of false
pride that fills parents with the
idea that it is better that their
sons should half starve at some of
the out-of.elbow professions, than
learn q trade that will insure them
a competence in any part Of the
world.

NEL1y's TEMPTATION

NELLy's TEMPTATION AND
PRAYER.-Little Nelly was FIVE
years old: Her motherahad taken
great pains to instiHinto her mind
principles of right and truth: - :.
One day she stood at the door
Of the dining.room, looking with
great earnestness at u basket OF
fine peaches which was on the
table. Nelly knew she should
not touch them without leave,
but the temptation was strong.
Soon her, mother, who was watch.
ing her from another room saw
her bow her head and cover her
face with her little hands.
"What ails you, Nelly2" she
said. a..'
The child started, not knowing
she was watched.
20, mother" she exclaimed, 81
wanted so much to take
one of the peaches; but. first I
thought I would ask God if he
had any objections"
"Dear little Nellyl what a path
of integrity and honor will be
yours through life, if, in all your
conduct, you seek to know your
Heavenly Fathers will, do no &C.
tion upon which you cannot seek
bis blessing"

He Has NO MoTHER.-Sitting
one day in the school-rootn; I
overheard a conversation between
a sister and brother. The little
boy complained of insults or
wrongs received from another lit
tie boy. His face was flushed
with anger. His sister listened
for q while, and then, turning
away she answered. 81 don't
want to hear another word.
Willie has no mother" The
brothers lips were silent the re-
buke came home to him, and
stealing away, he muttercd: ~
never thought of that" He
thought of his own mother, and
the loneliness Of "Willie" COM
pared with his own happy lot.
"He has no mother" Do we
think of it when want comes to
the orphan, and rude words assail
him? Has the little wanderer a
mother to listen to his little sor=
rows2 Speak gentle to him then.

A True Friend

Can always be found in a sensi.
BILE, good woman. Ifa man wants
a correct adviser, a sympathetic
counsellor in any circumstance or
situation in life, we believe o wo-
man will coz nsel more prudently
than many of the sterner sex. 1t
is 9 we'll established fact, that no
married man can have such q
friend, as a pure, true hearted wo-
man-her love will make her more
scrupulous of his honor-more
sensitive Of his good name, and
more proud of his character-her
natural timidity assists her here,
by rendering her more cautious,
and her tact and judgment are
generally greater in comparison,
than that of the wisest man. If
this is acknowledged to be true, OF
q married man, it is also SO Of a
single one. The brother will find
in the sister the friend he so much
needs, and writers have not yet
exhausted the theme of a sisters
influence. To young man who
has no sister, we sill advise the
cultivation of female friendship,
and we have often met with in
stances where the man is many
years younger than his female
friend. 1t is best so, where no
question of falling in love can be
thought of-indeed many have
had female friends even younger
than themselves, who yet welded
a powerful influence over their
whole lives. Young men, seek
pure females for your friends, lis
ten to their advice, heed their
counsel, let their influence be ex-
erted for your good, and you will
find such friendship the pride of
your life, the protecting shield
against evil, and the crowning
glory of your future years. ...

CHILD TRoUBLEs.-This is fol
parents. and worthy Of two read
ings: . a.. .-" -. ... F. -. -.
. The disappointments Of chill:
dren are as hard to bear as those
Of adults. The hopes and plans
of child often refer to what his
elders esteem trifles it is. true:
still he values his little possessions
as highly and c!ings to his aims
as tenaciously as older persons do
to theirs. But they remember
that all human affairs are uncer-
tain, and lay their plans hoping
for success, but at the same time
more or less apprehensivs Of fail
ure. The child, on the contrary,
sees nothing but suubeams; and
when the sudden darkness comes
he feels even more disappointed
than those older when their i'm
portant projects come to nought.
The child has not learned to rea-
son coolly upon matters and
things. as men do, and is moved
by impulse rather than by delib-
ate Judgment. Children very Of
ten. suffer real injustice. Some
times the wrong comes from their
play-mates, and sometimes from
the parent or teacher, who does
not take time to ascertain facts,
reasoning that the thing under
consideration is such a trife that
it is not worthy of inquiry. Pa
rents and teaches should always
remember: that the trials which
seem trihes to them are often very
often serious to the little ones in
their charge, and in dealing with
children should help them bear
their burdens rather than sco!d
them for beingirritated or grieved.
One Of the most important lessons
that can be taught them is to bear
their trials and troubles in a prop
er way.

Slight Circumstances.

Sir Walter Scott, walking one
day along the banks of the Yar-
row, where Mungo Park was
born, saw the latter throwing
stones into the water, and anx-
iously watched the bubbles that
succeeded. Scott inquired the OBJ
ject of his occupation.
II was thinking" answered
Park, chow often I had tried to
sound the rivers in Africa, by cal.
culating how long a time had
elapsed before the bubbles arose
to the sur6ce."
It was a slight circumstance,
but the travellers safety frequently
depended upon it.
Ina watch, the handspring forms
a small portion of the works, but
it propels and govern the whole.
So it is in the machinery of hu-
man life; a slight circumstance is
permitted by the Divine Ruler to
derange or alter; a giant tails by
the pebble a girl at the door Of
an inn changes the fortune Of an
empire.
"If the nose of Cleopatra had
been shorter" said Pascal, in his
epigrammatic and brilliant man.
ner "the condition of the world
would have different"
The Mohammedans have o ira
dition that when their prophet
concealed himself in Mount Shur,

Cheering Influences.
BY ANNA CLEAVES.

How it cheers and g'addens the
heart to have something pleasing
for the eye to rest upon no mat
ter if it be but a simple engraving;
or a bunch ofautumn leaves tackled
up here and there on the bare
wall: A few sea-shells, little
statuette, or even q pot of green
moss growing on the window sill,
give an air of taste and refinement
to the most homely cottage. And
how true it is that the silent in
fence of these little surroundings
helps to make up the great whole
that purifes and uplifts the soul
to something higher and better!
I remember once to have called
on a poor sick woman, who lived
iu miserable lodgings, and with
out many of the necessaries of life;
yet noticed on the rickety stand
near her bedside a flower-pot con-
tanning pansy, rich in its tints
of purple and gold. "Oh!" I ex-
claimed, "what a beautiful pansy"
eyes," she replied, her pale count
enance iighing up with tender
ness and joy, ut is very beautiful
to me, as it often leads my thoughts
away from myself, from my suf-
ferings and sorrows. Somehow,
I never feel half so poor when |
have something pretty to look at.
No matter how humble our
station in life, there is always
something to cheer the heart and
make us happy if we would but
accept it. The pure air of heaven,
and the glad sunshine, are they
not for US all? The sweet clover
blooms, and scent Of the pine
trees, the warbling Of the birds,
the ripping ofthe brooks, do they
not speak to US of love, hope, and
happiness? Yes, there are many
beautiful things lin the world, if
we would but see them. Yet how
many men and women live in con.
tinual discomfort and repinings,
seemingly unmindful. of the gifts
with which God surrounds them!
Show me a person who hears
music in the song of the cricket,
or the humming Of the bee; who
sees beauty in the lowly flower,
the fallen log covered with moss
and ivy. the Jagged rock, OF the
pebbles beneath the feet; ono who
loves to listen to tho winds, be
they mover 80 wild, and will show
you a person who can never be
entirely miserable or alone. The
beautiful soul-light within will re-
veal in amber tints some spots
whereon tie weary heart may
rest, and natures voice will ever
whisper of joy and peace, no mat
how fercely the storms of life
may sweep around.
