sooner than all your logic. The wit Of
woman has been praised, but her instincts
are quicker and keener than her reason
Counsel with your wife or your mother or
sister and be assured light will fash upon
your darkness. Women are too commonly
adjudgcd as verdant in all but purely
womanish affairs. No philosophical stu
dent Of the sex thus judges them. Their
intuitions, or insights, are subtle, and if
they cannot SEQ cat in the meal, there is
no cat there. In counselling man to tell

REVENGE The noblest revenge we can
take upon our enemies is to do them a kind
ness for to return malice for malice, and
injury for injury, will afford but tempo
rary qualification to our evil passions, and
our enemies will be rendered the more bitter
against US. But to take the first opportuni-
ty of showing them how superior we are to
them, by doing them kindness. or by rem
dcring them service, the sting of reproach
will enter deeply into their soul; and while
unto us it will be a noble retaliation. our
triumph will not unfrequently be rendered
complete, not only by blotting out the NAL
let that had otherwise stood against US, but
by bringing repentant hearts to offer them
selves at the shrine of friendship.

A HARD BED.-sir George staunton
visited man in India who had committed
murder, and in order not only to save his
life, but what was of more consequence, his
caste, he submitted TO the penalty imposed
this was, to sleep seven years on bed
stead, without any mattress, the whole sur
face of which was studded with points of
iron, resembling nails, but not so sharp as
to penetrate the flesh Sir George saw him
in the fifth year of his probation and his
skin then was like the hide of rhinosceros
but more callous at that time, however, he
could sleep, comfortably on his "bcd Of
thorns," and remarked that at the expira-
ton of the term of his sentence he should
most probably continue that system from
choice which he had been obliged to adopt
from necessity.

THE LoRp's PnAYER-A maiden knelt
in the twilight hour and clasping her hands
fervently breathed forth: "Our Father
who art in Heaven. hallowed be they
name."
4 mother iq great grief and agony gazed
on her child, sleeping her long last sleep, a
smile wroathed her soft lips. and with hands
folded across that still and pu!seless heart,
and kneeling there, the living beside the
dead, she prays ''Thy will be done"
As early beams Of the orient gid the
sleeping land, a widow with her suffering
little ones chilled by poverty and woe, bows
at the throne Of grace and fervently prays :
Give us this day our daily bread"
An aged father as his loving boy goes
forth from his parental care to brave the
cold frowns of life, kneels beside him, on
the eye of his departure, pleads: LEAD
him not into temptation, but DELIVER him
from evil, for Thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. -
