Boys and Girls.

Boys and girls are not the same They
are born different and show it while they are
infants. The hoy-hahy is restless aud uneasy
in his mothers arms He is never still ex-
cept when asleep and even then tumbes
from side to side in his crib with sudden filings
of arms and legs. When he grows beyond
baby-hood he plays differently Without
ever being told Of it he instnctively turns
away from dolls lays them aside in indiifer-
ence, and freely donates them to whatever
little girl will have them. IIedomanls balls
and bats and drums he turns down chairs
for horses lays hold on all the strings of the
house for lines, wants all the little sticks
made into whips, mounts lounges and drives
four in hand he asks for guns, and wants
you to tell him stories Of bears and lions and
| tigers and is amused beyond measure at their
leaping upon and eating up COWS and oxen --
The girl-baby is gentle even from the first,
and looks quietly out of the blue eyes, or
laughingy out of the dark ones. She takes
naturally to her dolls, and never wearies of
dressing them and arranging the playhouse /;
she is gentle in her plays, aud would be
frightened with what would fill her brother
with paroxysms Of delight; she loves fairy
tales and will not laugh and ask some absurd
question about the babes in the wood, but
rather cries over their sorrows. The sister
will smooth pussy aud hold her lovingly in
her lap, while the brother wants to see if the
cat can jump, and when she tries to get out
of his undesirable company, will detain her
by the leg or tail. And these same diycrgen-
cies of disposition and character perpetuate
themselves as the boy or girl grows older
There are exceptions, it is true some boys
have all the tastes and genteness Of fem
mime nature and some girls have much that
Is masculine do not regret seeing it in
each The gentle boy will not make any the
less noble man because there was so much
that was grl-like in his childhood, nor will

more, a true and lovely woman.-Dr. Ak

We are not made ourselves by great events,
nor do we make others by separate events and
determinations Il was the glory and beauty
Of the great and good DR.. Arnold, Of Rugby,
that whether he bathed with his scholars at
evening or walked with them at MONDAY, or
preached to them on Sunday, they felt at all
seasons the gentle influence Of good and true
Christian man. There was no trying to be a
power. Zig let his iJe-work speak, and the
result is known Little by little is the law
of natures influence 1t is the motto Of the
dew, the lesson of light; and in the manifold
quiokenings Of the spring, and the glorious
uuloldings OF the summer, you cannot watch
the steps Of progress-it is here a little, and
there little Thus we influence others, and
are Influenced by them. So the son becomes
like his father, aud the schoolboy like his
classmate, and the daughter like her mother.
Seek for some great thing to do; and where
will you discover itl Set to work at a great
reading, great visiting, great writing, and
what have you accomplished ? Yet try 81
lent and steady working and then how vast
the achievement
When the good Samaritan gave his loving
help to the man who had fallen among thieves,
he evidently obeyed only the law Of his ma
ture, and did that which he was accustomed
to do. 1t was a little act, an unobtrusiye
deed, done in a quiet way; consequently, the
record of his deed has moulded the lives OF
many more. just a word here and a word
there a visit here and another there little
kind deed here, another there, and you are
a missionary of Christ, friend Of the sorrow.
full a helper Of the needy
Alas how we all seek for some great
thing to do, forgetful of the fact that an earn
est aud holy life acts like quiet sunlight and
gentle air, and that in ourselves everything
in our life has been a telling quantity, though
we may not see it so to be. No Christian
man would ever be, or could be, what he is,
without those little meditations, prayers, sub
missions and self-conquests, which have been
all blended together in the formation Of his
Christian life.

bird as much as to say, We are all ready
shall we beginW Then one launches out
but has not uttered two notes before a score
of birds strike in, and then from the fields,
the forest edges, from orchards and gardens,
from the ground, the fences and the air, there
comes such a Babel of sweet sounds, running
into each other clashing, overlaying, and
surging together, that one cannot distinguish
any single songster pote, but only a wild
mingling of hundreds of birds, all singing at
the top Of their power, as if fired by an costa
cy of gadness. This great gush Of song lasts
from twenty minutes to half an hour, and
then ceases as simultaneously as it began,
The birds seem then to occupy themselves
with their toilet and breakfast, After which,
but in a far less general way, they sing of

How Long will it do to waItl

DIR. Nettleton had come from the evening
service in some country town to his home for
the night. The good lady Of the house, rather
an elderly person, after 6ustling about to pro.
vide her guest with rcireshmcnt, said directly
before her daughter, who was in the room:
Dr.. Netteton, ! do wish you would talk
to Caroline. She don't care nothing about
going to meeting nor about the salvation of
her soul | have talked and talked, and got
our minister to talk, but 10 don't seem to do
no good. wish you would talk TO her. Dr.
Netteton." Saying which She soon went out
Of the room.
Dr. Neuleton continued quietly taking bis
rcpast, when he turned round to the young
girl and said
Now, just tell me, Miss Caroline don't
they bother you amazingly about this thing2'
She, taken by surprise at an address so I'M
expected, answered at once
Yes, sir, they do; they keep talking to
me all the time till am sick of it,"

see--how old are you ?"
Eighteen, sir

Yes, SIR
The fact is,' said DR.. Nottloton, "relie-

all the time troubling young creature like
you with it, and you're in good health, you
say. Religion Is a good thing twill hard
ly do to die without IT, wonder how long

Let The children Alone.

Let your children alone when they gather
around the family table. It is cruelty to
hamper them with manifold rules and regula-
tions about this, and that. and the other. As
long as their conduct is harmless as to others
encourage them in their chcerlulness. If
they do smack their lips, and suppings Of
milk and other drinks can be heard across the
street, it docs not hurt the street let them
alone What if they do take their soup with
the wrong end of the fork, it is all the same
to the fork; let them alone.
Suppose a child does not sit as straight as
ramrod at the table, suppose a cup or tum-
bier should slip through its little fingers and
deluge the plate of food below, and the COB
let is smashed, and the tabecloth is ruined,
do not look thousand scowls and thunders,
and scare the poor thing to the balance Of its

glass slip through your fingers since you was
grown Instead of sending the child away
from the table in anger, if not even with a
threat, for this or any other little nothing, be

rior guest, to whom you would say, with a
more or less obsequious smile: It's Of no

Boys Vacations.


They have a delightful custom in the Swiss
schools for boys which might be adopted with
great advantage to all concerned in this
country During the weeks of summer vaea-
ton, it is the habit of the teachers to make,
with the pupils pedestrian tours among the
sublime mountains and charming valleys of
that land of beauty and grandeur. Squads
of little fellows in their blouses, with their
tough boots drawn on, and knapsacks on their
back, may be met, during the season, on all
the highways and in the remotest passes Of
the Alps, as chirrupy as the birds on the
boughs and as light and bounding as the
chamois who leaps from crag to crag. They
are perfect pictures of health and happiness,
and the treasures Of fine sights that they lay
up in their memories during these preambula-
tions, it would be difficult to describe. Their
tramps are made without danger and without
much expense, and the life is one Of enjoy
ment and rapture. But why could not the
same thing be done here where we have the
Catskills, the Adirondacks, and White Noun
tains, the exquisite lakes Of the North, the
river st. Lawrence and the rapids, Niagara,
and the lovely scenery of Western Virginia,
which, we are told, is scarcely surpassed on
the continent2 Over the long stretches the
railroad will bridge the distance, whilo the
country inns are not expensive, and the
country fare wholesome aud nutritious. -

Qualification of Old Age.

Old age is often querulous. 1t is one of
its defects to be so but let not this occasion
al weakness deceive you, You may be as
sured that naturally it has qualifications Of its
own, which fully balance those of earlier days,
and which, if cultivated, would carry on the
stream of happiness to the grave. If life has
been rightly employed, it will also have the
vsioned recollection Of its preceding COM
forts to enhance the pleasures which it is ac-
tually enjoying My own experience, in the
sixty-seyeuth year Of my age, is, that notwith-
standing certain ailments and infrmties, and
the privatons they occasion, it is just as
happy as all the preceding seasons were,
though in a different way-so happy as to
cause no regret that they have passed and no
desire to exchange what is for what has been,
If youth has hopes, and prospects, and wishes
that enchant it, age has no inferiority even
in this respect. .-ISuner.

BEEcnER AND Da. SroRRs.-A very good
story is told Of these two gentlemen. On
some public occasion Dr. Storrs was to preach
in Plymouth Church. After the celebrities
had got into the pulpit, Mr.. Beecher said
(" Brother Storrs, directly under where you
will stand to preach is baptistry of the most
approved pattern. 1t was built by Jealous
baptist, and is just the orthodox length and
depth. The platform is controlled BY spring
near my foot. There is at this time about
three feet of water in the tank. When .
