How A CAMEL Co.'s THRoUGH THE
EYE OF NEEDLE.-The passage from
the New Testament, at is easier for
came" ect., has perplexed many cool
men, who haveread it literally. In Orien-
tai cities there arc in the large gates
small and very low apertures called me,
taphorically needles eyes," just as we
talk of windows on shipboard as "bulls
eyes" These entrances are too narrow
for camel to pass through them in
the ordinary manner, or even ii loaded
camel has to pass through one of these
entrances, it kneels down, its load is
removed, aud then it shuffles through
on its knees. yesterday" writes lady
Duff Gordon, from Cairo, 81 saw u
camel go through the eye of a needle
that is, the low.arched door of an inclo.
sure. He must kneel, and bow his
head, to creep through; aud thus the
rich man must humble himself"

ADVICE TO WIvEs-A woman,
whom her husband used frequently to
scold, went to a cunning man TO inquire
how she might cure him of his barbar
ity. The sagacious soothsayer heard
her complaint; and after pronounciug
some hard words, and using various
gesticulations, while he filed phial
with colored liquid, desired her, when.
ever her husband was in passion, to
take mouthful of the liquor keep it
in her mouth for five minutes. Tie
woman, quite overjoyed at so simple
remedy, strictly followed the counsel
which was given her, aud by her silence
escaped the usual annoyance. The
contents Of the bottle being at last ex.
pended, she returned to TIE cunning
man and anxiously begged to have
another possessed of the same virtue
" Daughter" said the man, "there was
nothing in the bottle but brown sugar
and water. When your husband is in
a passion, hold your tongue, and, my
life on it, he will not scold you in
future"

KIND WoRDs-They never blister
the tongue nor lips and we have never
heard Of any mental trouble arising
from this quarter Though they do not
cost much. They hold ones own good
nature and good will Soft words soften
our own soul. Angry words are fuel to
the flames of wrath, aud it makes it
blaze more 6ercely.
Kind words make other people good
natured Cold words freeze people, and
hot words scorch them, and bitter words
make them bitter, aud wrathful words
make them wrathful There is s:ch a
rush for all other kind of words in our
ways, that it seems desirable to give
kind words chance among them
There are vain words, and idle words,
and hasty words, and spiteful words,
and silly words, and empty words, and
boisterous words, and warlike words.
Kind words also produce their own
image in mems souls. And beautiful
image it is. They soothe, aud quiet.
and comfort the hearer. They shame
him out of his sour, morose, unkind
feeling. We have not yet begun TO
use kind words in such abundance as
they ought to be used.

Why Women Cannot Enter Masonic
Lodges.

Frequent complaints are made by
ladies' in relation to Masonry, and their
principal arguments, that their hus.
bands have no business to do anything
that they cannot tell their wives that
which is secret must be wrong--thut is
only mean excuse, and so on. One
branch of the subject seems, however.
to be capable Of legendary explanation,
and the Norfolk Journal publishes
thereon the following paragraphs:
When King Solomon was still a
young man he had married his seventh
wife. She was beautiful young Am-
monitcss, with locks as black as the
ravens wing, and eyes as bright as the
eagles 1t was believed that she was
the favored one among all the sultanas

to her other qualities, she was as in.

earth.

stayed out somewhlt late. When he
returned home he found the fair Am.
monitess in the dumps and pouting Just
like the dear wives of Masons do some.
times now when their lords stay out too
late at the lodge. She upbraided him
with neglect to her, insinusted that he
hadn't been at the lodge as he pretended,
and insisted that in the future he
should give proof that he went there
by having herself initiated, SO that she
might 20 there and watch him.
Daughter Of Amon,' replied the
King, thou hast behaved thyseIf as one
of the foolish women, in presume to
question thy lord aud master. Thou
are not SO angry with me as thou pre-
tendcst to be; for the true reason of
this behavior is thy Unsuitable curiosity
in which thou excellest Eve herself
Know then that ] here ordain that
neither thou, nor any of thy iuquisitive
sex after thee, ever enter the portals Of
Masonic Lodge; but | shall enjoin
the Tyler to pierce through with his
sword any woman that shall attempt to
enter the lodge; aye, even thee, Queen
Of lsra Il though thou be And the
ordinance of this wisest of monarchs

MARRIED MEN.-There is an ex-
preston in the face Of q good married
man who has good wife, that bach
elor's cannot have. 1t is indescrbable.
He is little nearer the angels than the
prettiest young fellow living. You can
see that his broad breast is a pillow for
somebody's head, and that little fingers
pull his whiskers. No one ever mistakes
the good married man. II is only the
orratic one who leaves you in doubt
The good one eau protect all the un.
protected females, and make himself
generally agreeable to the ladies, and
yet never leave doubt on any mind
that there is precious little woman at
home worth all the world to him.

SUNDAY MORNING IN BED.

When the tlresome week Is over,
Wearied limbs then ask for ease;
No grim task Is then before you,
No one but yourself to please.
How delicious, then, the feeling
That dawns through the drowsy head,
or rest unbroke, unsummOned,
Sunday morning in the bed.
And such fancies throng around you,
Half asleep and half awake,
Dim defined, yet all so pleasant
FraDcies like the down, opaque.
Waking, dreams Of love and fortune,
Brighter far than can be said,
Give foretaste of Elyrium,
Sunday morning in the bed.
And the early sounds contrasting,
Add still more TO the repose,
Praise who will the early risers,
SwPeter stills the morning dozei
Labor, hustle, care all banished,
And the only sound you dread
Is the breakfast bells rough clamor,
housing from tn. Sundays bed.
Poets sing of early morning,
Healthful, active, fresh and fair,
Riches reaped, iDdustry's harvest,
In the mornings early air
Well, in week days let's admit it,
Think how soon ones life is sped,
Let poor mortals' joy, unhindered,
Sunday mornings in the bed.

At first Jim was enraged, and give
vent to sundry unrepcatable sentences
threatening prosecution to Phillips,
Hopkins and myself for false arrest.
But the timely banter and universal
laughter of our friends soon cooled him
down. So calling for drinks for all, he
acknowledged the joke fair retaliation,
joining iu the laugh against himself.
Jim kept his promise, and was never

DUTY.-No mans spirits were ever
hurt by doing duty on the contrary,
one good action, one temptation resisted
and overcome, one sacrifice Of desire or
interest, purely for conscienee's sake,
will prove a cordial for weak and low
spirits, far beyond what either indul-
genee, or diversious, or company can
do for them.
