do, Reub," said sister Lucy. "The fact is, We
never 90 nowhere, nor see no body, and
no wonder we feel so awkward when we do

The remarks of this brother and sister were
but echoes of the sentiment Of many other
farmers boys aud girls, when invited out to
spend social evening But poor Lucy had
not hit the true cause Of the difficulty. Ii was
not because they so seldom went TO any place,
but because there was such u wide difference
between their home and company manners

wear it often. Ifthe pleasing garb Of good

Girls Should Learn to Keep House,

No young lady can be too well instructed
in anything which will affect the comfort of a
family. Whatever position in society she oc-
cupies, she needs practical knowledge Of
household duties. She may be placed in such
circumstances that it will not be necessary
for her to perform much domestic labor but
on this account she needs no less knowledge
than if she was obliged to preside personally
over the cooking stove aud pantry. Indeed,
have thought 1t was more difficult 10 direct
others and requires more experience, than to
do the same work with our own hands
Mothers are frequently so nice and particu-
lar, that they do not like to give any part Of
the care to their children. This is great
mistake in their management, for they are
often burlened with labor and need relief
Children should be early taught to make
themselves useful to assist their parents
every way in their power, and to consider it
privilege to do So
Young persons cannot realize the import
ance ota thorough knowledge Of housewitery
but those who have suffered the inconvenience
and modification OF ignorance eau well appre-
ciate it, Children should be early INDUCED

THE TWO WATCHERS.

A flock of sheep on the high hills often
stroled down into the valley and some Of the
more daring put their heads through the
broken palings of Dame Jones's garden and
uibbed her cabbages.
"Cbarley,n said she, one day, am going

Mason's cook, so you and Toby must keep
watch, and see that The sheep do not again

" just leave it to me, and | will be sure TO
make all safe. You may take Toby with
you, for can do without him. He is not
wanted. | know how to keep guard"
The old lady then went on her way, and
Charley and the dog took their place on the
step Of the cottage door. 1t was not long
before the boy felt the sleepy effects of a
warm south wind that blew. Two Of the
sheep came down from the hills, and put their
noses through the open palings Charley,
half asleep shook his hands at them aud
drowsily called on them to 90 away. AT
length Charley began to nod, and he nodded
till he was fast asleep. But Toby pricked up
ais ears, aud kept his eyes, like good sehil-
mel, towards the place Of danger And as
soon as he saw that the bold invaders were at
hand, he gave a loud bark, and springing uf

TWO KINDS or RICHES.

A little boy sat by his mother He looked
long in the fire and was silent Then, as the
deep thought began to pass away, his eye
grew bright, and he spoke Mother want
to be rich"
"Why do you wish to be rich, my son
And the child said, because every one
praises the rich The stranger at our table
Yesterday ssked who was the richest man in
our village. At school there Is boy who
does not love to learn He takes no pains to
say his lessons. Sometimes he says evil
words But the children do not blame hun,
for they say he is a wealthy boy
The mother saw her child was in danger Of
believing wealth might take the place Of
goodness or be an excuse for Incidence, or
cause them to be held in honor who led un-
worthy lives. So she asked him, what is
it to be rich D."

and said, ' Today, if we will hear his voice

And the child said, Teach me how may

Then she looked tenderly on him aud said

Wasn't Pushing Him.

Some time ago on Sabbath, we wended
our way to one of the churches, and instead of
II sermon, heard an address upon some mis-
sonary or other benevolent object. The ad-
dress concluded, two brethren were sent around
to collect contributions. Parson l.. was one
of the basket bearers, taking the side upon
which we sat. Immediately in our front and
upon the next seat negigontly recined friend
Bill A., gentleman of fin6nte humor and full
of dry jokes. Parson l.. extended the basket
and Bill shook his head.
"Come William, give us something" said
the parson.
Cant do it," said Bill.

The Old, Old Story.
BY ABBY HUTCHINSON PATTON.

Two children wandering hand in hand by
the sea, singing songs of praise. The wind
blowing fresh in their faces, and the beauti-
ful green waves dancing in the light of the
morning sun. No sound came from the rude
world not even the song birds note was heard
only the voices of the noble youth and the
pure and truthful maiden. At their feet
were white and lovely shells, which they
gathered and tossed into the sea- Yet no
shell was whittier than the souls of the youth
and maiden, aud no water purer than their
words to eaen other. When the sweet song
of praise ended, the youth said, Little
maiden, shall tell you very old, old sto-
ry2' and the maiden, looking iuto his deep,
honest eyes, replied, "Tel me the story"
In voice low and musical he repeated to
her the old, old story She bent low to catch
the words, and at the sound her own voice
died away and she heard his voice alone and
her own beating heart-but the little waves
listened and caught the words intended for
the maiden's ear, and they ran down to the
large waves, and said, " We heard the old,
old ry,"-aud the large waves said, Tell
US, and we will take it to every shore" The
winds also, that played in the hair of the
maiden heard and said, ave too will carry
this story on the wings Of air to all the
worldn And the sunbeams said ave will
travel faster than wind and waves, and flash
this truth into the hearts Of all mankind" "
And the waves and winds and sunbeams
danced in glee, as if new life had possessed

PITCH srICKsi

h" Oh, dear, how it sticks y cried Willie
who while passing through street where
men were laying new pavement, formed of
asphalt, ran against one Of the workmen who
was carrying kettle of the boiling pitch
some of which made great black patches on
his clothes.
Pitch is not the only thing that sticks.
There are bad habits-oh how they stick
and the little everyday sins that you do not
think anything Of and bad companions
oh how these stick Far better, children,
that you be covered with pitch from head to
foot, than to consent to 60 with bad compa-
ny, or learn bad habits, or read bad hooks, or
say bad things. Remember that there are
many other things as black as pitch.
