How to Treat SANDER.

We once heard story of two men who
started together one morning for whole
days journey. They soon became sepa-
rated. The one reached his destination
before the sun had sunk behind the western
hills, where he made himself comfortable
at the inn. His only trouble was concern
for his laggard companion. He thought
sure some evil must have befallen him.
Long after dirk his fellow companion
arrived. When asked the cause of his de-
lay, he replied:
81 was obliged to stop at every other
house to whip off the unmannerly dogs
that barked at me. Didn't they bark at
you?'
eyes, replied the other, "but did
not stop to whip them. 1 simply told
them that they were ill-bred ours, and drove
on
We are generally losers in the end, if we
stop to refute all the biting we may
hear by the way. They are annoying, it is
true, but not dangerous, so long as we do
not stop to expostulate and scold. Our
characters are formed and sustained by
ourselves, by our actions and purposes, and
not by others. Always bear this in mind,
that "calumnies may usually be trusted to
time and slow but steady justice of public
opinion"

The Traveller in the Snow,

A traveller was crossing mountain height
alone, over almost untrodden SHOWS
Warning had been given him that if Sum-
Der had pressed down his weary eyelids,
they would inevitably be sealed in DEATH
For time he went bravely along his dreary
path. But with the deepening shade and
freezing blast of night, there fell weight
upon his brain and eyes which seemed to
be irresistible. In vain he tried to reason
with himself, in vain he strained his utmost
energies to shake off that fatal heaviness.
At this crisis Of his fate his foot struck
against heap that lay across his path
No stone was that, although no stone could
be colder or more lifeless. He stepped to
touch it, and found human body half
buried beneath fresh drift of snow. The
next moment the traveller had taken
brother in his arms, and was chatting his
hands, and chest, and brow, breathing
upon the stiff, cold lips the warm breath of
a living soul pressing the silent heart to
the beating pulses Of his own generous
bosam.
The effort to save another had brought
back to himself life, warmth, and energy.
He was man again instead of weak
creature succombing to despairing help
essness, dropping down in dreamless
sleep to die. "He saved brother, and
was saved himself

Visiting in China.

A visit Of ceremony is conducted with
great politeness. Your card must be sent
on before you by a special herald-a citing
coai," (the Chinese are well up in the fash
ion of cards. which they have long prac
tised)-who should be dispatched in good
time to allow of proper preparation by
those who are to receive you. Your rank
being stated on your card, you are received
according to it by the gentleman upon
whom you call. He comes out a certain
distance, in proportion to your rank he
bows and you bow, while each says "Chin
chin,' and you are invited in; but at every
doorway he pauses and politely proposes
you should precede him, which you decline
as politely; and at last, after many protes-
tations, he goes first, with some pretty
apology. When the room is entered, and
each is seated, attendants enter with cups
of tea and sweetmeats, and the customary
compliments are passed, beginning with,
"Qua shing 9''-"W What is your honorable
name?' g What is your honorable age?''
and fifty questions which seem to lis half
rude and almost insulting but this curl
osity toward an honorable acquaintance is
not considered at all so-indeed, it would |
be in Chinese gentleman's eyes very rude
not to make all these inquiries The ortho-
dox half hour having passed, and the bust
ness Gf any to be transacted being over,
the guest is conducted away toward the
door with the same ceremony and if of
superior rank to his host, and he wishes to
show him great respect and honor, he sees
him to his sedan and waits as he moves
away, bowling profoundly, and exclaiming,

dark as much as it explains; that the future
is certain to give us something that might
be decently called a philosophy of the sub
Iect.
We close with the remarkable case given
by the Archbishop of Bordeaux in the
" Methodical Encyclopedia, of a young
priest who used to rise in his sleep and
write sermons, read them aloud, and make
corrections. He would continue to write
when card was held between his eyes and
the paper. Nor was this writing done by
sight, for, blank sheet being substituted
for his sermon paper, he made his cerrec-
lions on that exactly where they should
have been in the original sheet More than
that: he asked for certain things, and
understood only the replies which related
to these thoughts. Nor did he remember
anything of what had occurred when he
awoke, but at the next attack lived over
this second life exactly as before.
The Chancellor Of our largest University
has recently stated in public that this sub
ject required an attention it had nowhere
received; and all rejecting men in all coun-
tries, especially in ours, will join heartily
in this opinion: the present essayist hopes
to help, not hinder, so interesting discus
sion

Dickens Us a Reporter.

A large sheet was started at this period
of his life, in which all the important
speeches of Parliament were to be reported
cerbdtim for future reference. Dickens was
engaged on this gigantic Journal. Mr..
Stanley had spoken at great length on the
condition of Ireland. 1t was very long
and eloquent speech, occupying many
hours in delivery. Eight reporters were
sent in to do the work. Each one was re-
quired to report three quarters of an hour,
then to retire, write out his portion, and
to be succeeded by the next. Young Dick
ems was detailed to lead off with the first
part. 1t also fell to his lot, when the time
came round, to report the closing portions
of the speech. On Saturday the whole was
given to the press, and Dickens ran down
to the country for Sundays rest. Sun
day morning had scarcely dawned, when
his father, who was a man of immense
energy, made his appearance in his sons
sleeping-room. Mr.. Stanley was SO dissat-
isfied with what he found in print, except
the beginning and ending of his speech
Gust what Dickens had reported, that he
sent Immediately to the Office and obtained
the sheets of these parts of the report
He there found the name of the reporter.
which, according 10 custom, was written
on the margin. Then he requested that
the young man bearing the name of Dick
ems should be Immediately sent for. Dick
ens's father, all aglow with the prospect of
probable promotion in the office, went i'm
to his sons stopping place in the
country and brought him back to London.
In telling the story, Dickens said: 81 re-
perfectly to this day the aspect of

gentlemen in it, Mr.. Stanley and his father.

Beautiful Child.
BY MAJOR VIM. A. II. SIGOURNEY, AUTHOR
OF "BEAUTIFUL SNOW

Beautiful child by thy mothers knee,
In the mystic future what wilt thou be?
A demon Of sin, or an angel sublime
poison of Upas, or innocent Thyme
A spirit of evil, flashing dozen
With lurid light of fiery crown
Or gliding up with a shining track,
Like the morning star that meier looks
back,
Daintiest dreamer that ever smiled,
Which wilt thou be, my beautiful child?
Beautiful child in my garden bowers,
Friend of the butterflies, birds and flowers,
Pure as the sparkling crystalline stream,
Jewels of truth in thy fairy eyes beam,
Was there ever whittier soul than thine
Worshipped by Love in mortal shrine?
My heart thou hast gladdened for two
sweet years
With rainbows of Hope through mists of
Mists beyond which the sunny smile
With its halo of glory beams all the while.
Beautiful child, to thy look is given
A CLEAN serene, not of EARTH but of heaven,
With thy tell-tale eyes and prattling tongue,
Wolld thou couldst ever be young.
Like the liquid strain of the mocking-bird,
From stair to hall thy voice is heard
How oft in the garden nook thou'rt found,
With flowers thy curly head around!
And kneeling beside me with fingers SO
quaint
Oh! who would not dote on my infant saint ?
Beautiful child, what thy fate shall be
Perchance is widely hidden from me.
A fallen star thou may'st leave my side,
And of sorrow and shame become the
bride
Shivering, and quivering through the cold
street,
With curse behind and before thy feet
Ashamed to live, and afraid to die;
No home, no friend, and pitiless sky.
Merciful Father, my brain grows wild,
Oh, keep from evil my beautiful child!
Beautiful child, may'st thou soar above,
A warbling cherub of joy and love,
A drop on Eternity's mighty sea,
A blossom ON LIES immortal tree
Floating, Towering evermore
In the blessed light of the golden shore;
And as | gaze on thy sinless bloom
And thy radiant face, they dispel nv
gloom,
feel He will keep thee indebted,
And His love protect my beautiful child.
