Then mother came and read the pretty
stories in his paper, pausing now and
then for kiss or loving word, or to
let the little boy hold the paper in his
own hands to see the pictures better.
Last came the story Of poor ragged
Tim, who toiled early and late to help
his widowed mother and send his little
sister to school, Ralph listened eager
", and when Tim could not get quite
enough money to buy his mother the
nice warm shawl he wished, the tears
stole down his plump cheeks, and he
whispered, ''Oh, mother, if Tim would
come here I'd give him all father gives
me for candy.
But when kind gentlmau gave Tim
dollar for catching his horse, Ralph's
eyes glowed with delight as he Rugged
his mother in his gladness.
"What would You do, Ralph, asked
Mr.. b., off you had no father to buy
anything and your mother was poor and
sick2 Would you work like kind Tim
to keep her from being cold and hun

He pondered this question for some
time. He knitted his little brows, and
looked as sober as if he we're deciding
the destiny of nations, but soon his
face smoothed out, and he answered
promptly,

it would be easier to pass around the
hat
His father smiled as if to say that
was satisfactory, and Ralph ran for
some milk for himself and kitty, as the
hired man was just coming in with the
pals full of the frothing liquid.
Afterward he leaned his head on the
table, and remarked that it was "hard
work for a man to go to church all
day. so mamma heard the childish
prayer, which the great God above
heard too, and laid him to sleep in his
crib. She watched his blue eyes close,
and kissing his fair cheeks, she left
him to the watchful care of the good
angels.

Influence of Good Models.

Reading the achievements of great
men, and listening to brilliant orator.
cal efforts, have an elevatin9 influence.
The talents and culture which are dis
played, strikingly contrast with our
own, and stimulate us to new resolves
and efforts, to the end that we may
grow out of our httleness into more
perfect men and women. Thus it is
that we leave public Hall, recalling
talents unimproved, opportnn ties lost
and precious time squandered, and re-
tiecting that We, too, might have held
audiences spell-bound as has the orator
of the evening, had we but willed it.
Then follows the determination to COM
mence work at once, and make up, if
possible, for lost time. The lives of
great men are perpetual reminders of
what we may become while the imme-
diate presence of those achieving great
ness imparts a direct stimulus to us.
When brought in contact with high
bred people, persons of gentle birth
and refined, agreeable manners, we
instinctively modify our own manners.
From this we may know how beneficial
it is to keep models before us, and to
seek as much as possible the society
and companionship of our superiors,
those whom we know will exert a
healthy, elevating influence upon us.
The character of children is very much
determined by means of this kind,
Those born In poverty, and living in
squalor, have their ambition aroused
by reading the labors and exploits of
persons who have distinguished them
selves in one way and another. Es-
pecially is this true in Republic, where
in caste or lneal distinctions conhne
people to the conditions of life in which
they are born. Benjamin Franklin
used to maintain that he was prompted
when lad to try and accomplish some
thing in the world by reading Cotton
Mather's Essays to do Good. Aud
Samuel Drew declared that Franklin's
example, in turn, animated him to
choose the lie upon which he entered.
Smiles very truly observes that our
character and careers are, to great
extent, determined by the models
around us. 1--WE mould ourselves I'M
consciously after the characters, man
ners, habits, and opinions of those who
are about us. Good rules may do much,
but good models far more; for in the
latter we have instruction in action
wisdom at work. Good admonition
and example only build with one hand
to pull down with the other. Hence
the vast Importance of exercising great
care in the selection of companions,
especially in youth"

sided at all the yearly concours of the

The great composer enjoyed an in
come of hundred and fifty thousand

and always ready to oblige. The nu

the lodge was at least seventy to sew

George for thirty yeass or more.
He never left Paris, which he loved,

Floating Islands in Victoria.

Gippsland is province of Victoria.
1t is bounded by the Australian Alps
on all sides except on the south, which
the sea washes for over one hundred
miles. 1t may be called the Piedmont
of Australia, rich fertile plains inter
sected by rivers flowing into lake sys-
TEN extending all along the coast, and
separated from the sea by sandy
ridge, with one navigable opening. A
local paper, the Gippsland Times, con-
talns the following description of
floating islands on the lakes:
Gas one of the Gippsland Steam
Navigation Company's steamers was
recently crossing Lake Wellington, the
man at the wheel suddenly observed
land right in the track of the steamer,
apparently only short distance from
the straits separating Lakes Wellington
and Victoria. He called the captains
attention to the strange sight, and on
coming up close, the land was discov-
cred to be small island, about thirty
yards in length by twenty broad. 1t
was covered with rich coating of lux
uriant grass, and small trees, tea
tree, and bush shrubs appeared to be
growing in profusion. The only occu-
pants of this remarkable apparition
We're few pigs, feeding away content
edly and apparently enjoying their
novel journey by water. A second
island of the same description,
but much smaller, was noticed
little farther on, but this had evident
ly detached itself from the larger
piece of land, or most probably had
been separated by the roofing depre-
dations of the porkers. From what
portion of the main land this floating
island came is, of course, matter of
conjecture, but it is known that por-
tions of the soil at Marley Point, on
the southern shore of Lake Wellington,
became detached recently, and floated
miles across the lake with some twenty
or thirty heads of pigs aboard. As
long as the wind drove it in that direc-
ton, the island drifted towards M Len
mans Straits, but a change of wind
brought it back again, after three
days trip, within mile of the spot
from which it had broken away. "

NATURAL PERFUME FOR RooM.-
A small, wide-mouthed glass Jar, such
rs used by museums for specimens of
natural history, should be filled with
ether, and closed with glass stopper
dipped in glycerine to thoroughly ex-
clude the air Fill this jar during the
season with the fresh blossoms of any
fragrant plant, cut after the dew is dry,
and stripped of leaf and stem as well as
calyx. The petals alone of roses, vio-
lets, tuberoses, or pinks should be
used; heliotrope should be cut close to
the pauicle of bloom. OF course Jar
is allotted to each kind of blossom.
The ether has the property of taking
up the fragrant particles from flowers,
and when evaporated leaves the essen
tial oil of the plant behind, very few
drops of which i'll deodorized alcohol
gives q delicious extract Quantities
OF flowers are required, and the petals
in the jar should be changed tor fresh
ones every day. Only skill and pa
thence will succeed in the perfumer's
art but one success is worth many
failures.
