Finger Marks.

A GENTLEMAN employed mason to do
some work for him, and, among other
things, to thin-whiton the walls of one
of his chambers. This thin whitening is
almost colorless until dried The gentle
man was much surprised, on the morning
after the chamber was finished, to find on
the drawer of his bureau, standing in the
room, white finger marks. Opening the
drawer, he found the same on the articles
in it, and also on a pocket.book. An
examination revealed the same marks on
the contents of bag. This proved clearly
that the mason, with his wet hands, had
opened the drawer, and searched the bag,
which contained no money, and had then
closed the drawer without once thinking
that any one would ever know it. The
"thin whitening" which happened tn be
on his hands, did not show at first, and he
probably had no idea that twelve hours
driving would reveal his wickedness.
Children, beware of evil thoughts and
deedsl They all leave their finger. marks,
which will one day be revealed. Ii you
disobey your parents, or tell falsehood,
or take what is not your own, YOU make
sad stains on your character. Aud so it
is with all sin. 1t defiles the soul. 1t he
trays those who engage in it, by the marks
it makes on them. These marks NAV be
almost, if not quite, invisible at first But
even if they should not be seen during
any of your days on earth (Which is not at
all likelyE yet there is dav coming in
which every sin will be made Manifest

done much mischief remember Will
Crusty, who was sent TO mill by his father
with the horse and wagon. As he left
the door.yard his father said
"Will, don't ford the river to day. The
water is too high. Go round by the
bridge"
viii cracked his whip, and drove. of
muttering: 81 shall do justas I've mind
TO about that, old gentleman"
Then he drove straight to the ford. An
old farmer saw him and shouted:
"Will, don't cross the ford faint safe"
al shall do just as I've mind to about
that, old gaffer, said Will
SO he drove into the river at the ford.
But the water was very high, the current
was strong The horse lost his foothold
and was carried into the deep water.
Will was frightened and falling into the
deep water, was carried over the mill dam
and dashed to death among the rocks.
The Just.as.I've a-mind to killed him as
certainly as any loose tigress would have
done.
Nor is Will the only hoy which this fierce
creature has killed. Millions L mean mill
lions-have been ruined by 1t. 1tloves to
drive children into ruin. Isn't 1t dread
ful creature?
You wouldn't like TO meet itH ] sup
pose not. Yet l fear some of you have
met it and have even given IT lodging
in your bosom-for mark, the Just-as-Pve-
a-n ind-to is neither more nor less than
stubborn will in chil7's heart.

Marriage Maxlms.

THE following marriage maxims" are
worthy of more than hasty reading.
Husbands need not pass them by, for they
are designed for wives and wives should
not despise them, for they are addressed
to husbands:
The very nearest approach to domestic
happiness on earth is in the cultivation
on both sides of absolute unselfshness.
Never talk at one another, either alone
or in company
Never both be angry at once.
Never speak loud to one another-un-
less the house is on fire.
Let each one strive to yield the oftenest
to the wishes of the other.
Never find fault unless it is perfectly
certain that fault has been committed I;
and always speak lovingly.
Never taunt with past mistake.
Neglect the whole world besides rather
than one another.
Never make remark at the expense of
each other; it is a meanness.
Never part for a day without loving
words to think of during absence.
Never meet without a loving welcome.
Never let the sun go down upon any an
ger or grievance.
Never let any fault you have committed
go by until you have frankly confessed it
and asked forgiveness.
Never forget the happy hours of early
love.
Never sigh over what might have been,
but make the best of what is.
Never forget that marriage is ordaine
OF God, and that His blessings alone can
make it what it should ever be.
Never let your hopes stop short of the
eternal home.

The "Just.as.pve.a-mind.tO."

SAW a tigress little while ago. She
was in a cage gnawing bone. A man
put his umbrella against the bars of her
den, and oh how madly her eyes glared.
She showed her white teeth, growled, and
sprang towards the man in way that
made him start back in a hurry.
"Well," thought l, half aloud, " If you
were loose, mistress Tigress, and in the
streets, should not like to meet you.
You'd make mince-meat of the boys and
girls 'mazing quick"
"But there is a creature as dangerous
as the tigress running loose among the
children" whispered friend at my ell
bow.
"Ah," cried /, looking round with sur
prise in my looks. "What is itS"
The "Just as Pve-a-mind-to," said he
laughing, and leaving me very much puz'
zled for the moment.
"The Just-as -I've-a mind.to," exclaimed
l. "He is joking, guess, And yet II
seems TO me I've heard that name before
Oh, I've got il. He means the spirit oi
willfulness and obstinacy which leads a
boy or girl to despise good counsels and
to say, IN do just as l have mind TO.

WILLIE AND THE APPLE


LITrLE Willie stood under an apple tree old
The frut was all shining with crimson and gold,
Hanging temptingly low; how he longed for
bite,
Though he knew if he took one IT wouldn't be
right
Said he, II don't see why my father should say,
Don't touch the old apple tree, Willie, to-day
shouldn't have thought, now they're hanging so
low,
When asked for just one he would answer me
NO
HE would never find out II took but just one,
And they do look SO good shining out in the sun ;
There are hundreds and hundreds, and he would
mt miss
SO paltry little red apple as this"
He stretched forth his hand, but low mourning
strain
Game wandering dreamily over HE brain;
In his bosom beautiful harp had long laid,
That the angel OF conscience quite frequently
played:
And he sang, 'Litile Willie beware, oh beware
Your father is gone, but your Maker is there:
How cad you would feel If You heard the LORD
This doar little boy stole an apple today"
Then Willie turned round, and as still as a mouse
Crept slowly and carefully into the house;
In his own little chamber he knelt down pray
That the Lord would forgive him, and please not
to cay,
Little willie almost stole an apple to day"

A Battle between Robin and 10
Squirrel

We witnessed battle the other day so
singular in its nature as to deserve men
tion. On one of our principal streets, q
robin had built its nest in a tree. In the
nest were three or four eggs, which tempt
ed the appetite of squirrel who CHANGED
to spy them. He made raid on the nest,
and was just about preparing for sump-
tuous feast, when the proprietor OF the
invaded domicil arrived. Seeing what
was going on, the robin made dive at the
squirrel, inflicting wound with his beak.
Then ensued one of the most lively scrim-
images ever witnessed Up and down the
tree, with the rapidity OF lightning, ran
the squirrel, the robin In hot pursuit.
From one limb and branch TO another,
they both darted, both chattering and
chirping in utmost excitement. The robin
would fly off rod or 30, and then dart,
like an arrow from bow, for the squirrel,
