The Dusty Room

A young girl was sweeping room one
day. when she went to the window shade
and hastily drew it down. 1t makes the
room dusty she said,'t have the sun
shine coming .!
The atoms of dust which shone golden
in the sunbeams we're unseen in the
DINNER light. TIE untaught girl imag-
ined it was the sunshine which made the
dust.
Now many persons imagine themselves
very good people. One poor old man
who had lived all his life without thought
of love to God. and he was all ready TO
die.-'He didn't owe any man cent.
If the Spirit of God should shine brightly
into such heart, how do you suppose it
looked? It would show them sins enough
to crush them!
This light of the Spirit is like the sun.
shine in the dusty room. It reveals what
was before hidden. When We begin to
feel unhappy about our sins, let US never
try to put away our feeling. Don't let US
put down the curtain. and fancy there is
no dust. Its the Holy Spirits voice in
our hearts. He is showing US ourselves;
aud better still. he will show us the true
way of happiness.

A Romance OF the East.

Louise Mulbach, iu her Letters frsm
Egypt" tells very romantic story about
the wife of Coun: Benedict. the French
Minister Plenipotentiary at the Prnssisn
Court before the outbreak of the present
war. A very rich Greek merchant, resi-
dent in Alexandria. had two black wives.
whom he loved dearly, and9for whose ser
vice he provided large retinue of beau
tiful girls. One of his wives. one day.
CHANGED to see beautiful white girl, and
was so pleased with her that she coaxed
her husband into buying her.
The beautiful slave became confident
servant and companion to her negro miss
tresses, and conducted herself toward
them in such manner that she became
indispensable to them. Sh sang to tbem
and gossipped and frolicked so gracefully
that ennui was .banished completely. She
won their affections, and through them also
the affection of her master, the venerable
Greek merchant.
But unfortunately the black wives sud
denly fell ssck one day, and before night
fall they were both dead. Their disease
was known to nobody, and they were hast
lily buried. The beautiful young slave
who had not left their side for moment
during the few hours of their illness SEEM
ed inconsolable. She did her best, bow
ever, to assuage the grief of the ancient
merchant, and in this way so endeared
herself to him that he adopted her as his
child and heir, since he was just little
too old to marry her. In course Of time.
the venerable sage rejoined his swarthy
wives in the other world, and the fortu-
nate nymph came into possession OF his
millions. At this stage of her existence.
Count Benedict, who was then only a
penniless attache to the French consulate
in Alexandria, offered her his hand and
heart, and having married her, with tho
aid of wealth. cut for himself road of
fame. In this way. she who was once
slave to slaves, became star in the cir
c!es of the French world of fashion.

Many child goes estray, not because

but simply because home lacks sunshine.
A ch lid needs smiles as mucn as flowers

yond the present moment. If thing

Agricultural and Domestic.
Agricultural and Horticultural Sci.
ence In Common Schools.

There was time when Agriculture,
Horticulture and kindred sciences could
not be taught in our public schools, from
the facts that there were. in the FIRST
place no suitable text books, and second,
comparatively few competent teachers.
But that day has passed there is no
longer any sound excuse that can be off
fered for the neglect of these important
studies, and the interest of the whole
country demand that in our public schools.
a system shall be adopted which will give
to evey one who desires it an opportunity
of becoming acquainted with the elements
of the leading sciences. This should
specially be the case 10 relation to Agri-
culture and Horticulture, and we're it
adopted, the benefits that would flow from
it would be almost incalculable.
1t has always appeared to US that in no
one particular have our farmers and fruit
growers been so remiss, as in their want
of attention to the claims of science. We
can find an apology for the man, who ad-
vanced in life. does not deem the acquisi-
ton of scientific knowledge of his voca-.
ton matter ofany great moment to him;
but he is wholly inexcusabIe when he With
holds the means of obtaining this knowl-
edge from his sons. If it be urged in his
defence that the requisite means are not
within convenient reach, the reply is,
that the fault if not entirely, is at ..eass par
TALLY his. If q properly directed effort were.
made by the farmers and fruit growers Of
every rural school district, there would be
no difficulty in procuring the services of
competent teachers If it were an adopt
ed and enforced rule in such districts,
that amongst other requirements on the
part of a teacher, knowledge Of the
scientific rudiments must be regarded az
absolutely essential. there would speedily
be found men qualified, or would qualify
themselves for the task.
Science is no longer hidden beneath
sbstruse technicalit:es, which none bus
the student Of lifetime can comprehend.
Able and suitable men have so simpli6ed
it that those of the most ordinary COM
prehension can readily understand it.
With such facilities as these, why should
not farmers sons and farmers daughters
too, have the advantages which are thus
held out to them? There Is no good rcas-
on why they should not.
We do not hesitate for . moment to
assert that if properly combined effort
we're made, as we have suggested. the
great object could be accomplished it
would prove ten thousand times more val
liable to the general national interests,
than all the high-falutin colleges that ev
er have been, or are ever likely to be es-
tablished in the United States.

FEEDING SHEEP.-A person to succeed
in sheep feeding must do it because he
likes to do is--because he prefers to feed
sheep and see them eat, to any other bus
mess done in the winter aud although
he may not be able or willing to do the
work himself, still he must take delight in
seeing it well attended to ifhe expects to
prosper. He should be sure tot see every
sheep he has, at least once a day. when.
if he understands his business, he can tell
at glance whether they have bsen prop
erly cared for.-Ohio Farmer.

A FROSTY DAY.

A FROSTY DAY.
Grass afeld wears silver thatch,
Palings are edged with rime,
Frost-fowers pattern round the latch
Cloud nor breeze dissolve the cline.
When the waves are solid floor,
And the clods are iron bound,
And the boughs are crystalrd boar
And the red leaf naild a. ground.
When the feldfare's fight is slow,
And a rosy vapour rim,
Now the sun is small and low,
Belts along the region dim.
When the ice-crack flies and flaws,
Shore to shore with thunder shock,
Deeper than the evening DAVIS,
Clearer than the village clock.
When the rusty black-bird strips,
Bunch by bunch, the coral thorn,
And the pale day crescent dips
New to heaven slender horn.
Good Words.
