Young men who go to see the girls,
have adopted a new way Of obtaining
kisses. They assert, on the authority
OF scientific writers, that the cOncus-
sion produced by kiss will cause the
flame of a gas jet TO flicker, and easily
induce the girl to experiment in the
interest of science. The first kiss or
two parties watch the flame TO see it
flicker, but soon become so interested
in the experiment as to let it flicker if
it wants to. A kerosene light will do
just as well, or even ION a pinch) a
talloW candle.

Wedding Cards.

The newest wedding envelope re-
tains the pocket-bOob dap, but is a
trifle smaller and squarer than its pre-
decessor. The outside initials are also
slightly diminished in size. Multi
farioas cards accompany the invita-
ton. There is, first, the brides card /;
secondly, the bridegrOOm's; thirdly,

in full, and the day on which they
will receive in their new home; sew

present this at the door" engraved
thereon, which is designed TO keep un-
invited guests from crowding the
church, and pickpockets from elbow
ing the silver. The whole might be
styled the "cOupon" invitation, and
its weight and cost must cause the
heart Of the card printer TO leap for
iOy.

The Popular" Teacher.

The mere fact that children are deeply
interested in what they hear from their
teacher does not certify that teacher to be
either faithful or successful-if We take sue
cess in such connection in its proper signif-
canoe. There is plenty of "clap trap" in
the Sabbath School, as well as in the pulpit.
And if multitudes of men and women are
allured by it, no wonder that youth should
be susceptible to its influence. Give the
teacher-rather, we would say one who takes
the place of teacher-sprightliness, glib
tongue, lively imagination, fund of stories
and it is easy enough for him to hold the
fixed attention of a class of children for
thirty or forty minutes. At the same time
he may utterly fail to unfold single scrip
tural truth, to say one word for Jesus, to
warn or invite, or even to impress moral
lesson. He may interest, yet not profit.
He may be exceedingly popular with his
pupils, yet recreant to his duty, and staining
his skirts with the blood of their souls. Who
would look seriously at the matter and wish
to be such a teacher?-S s. Worker.

The Gospel in India.

Sir Bartle Frere said at the London Mis-
siOnary meeting:
cit was very few years ago, compare
lively, as men speak-It was only the time
when as young man [ went out to India,
less than forty years back-when, l will
answer for it, there was not one thoughtful
politician, not one statesman, however much
he might be imbued with the spirit of Chris
tianity, who did not feel that the preaching
of the gospel was attended with political
dangers of which no man could measure the
intensity or the possible results. 1t was not
merely cold and formal officials who felt
this, but I speak most confidently when l say
that the feeling of dstrust and fear was
shared in by men who above all things valued
the gospel of Christ, and who sincerely and
from their hearts believed that nothing bet
ter could have been given by England to
India than the knowledge of that gospel.
And now, my brethren, how are things
changed in that empire At this present
moment-I do not speak of possible results ;
God forbid should attempt anything in the
shape of foretelling what may happen to
morrow-but do say that the Indian peo-
pie themselves have come to regard this COS
pei which we bear among them, this gospel
which has sent US therefor after all We
have been sent by the Christianity which we
profess, and by the Christian nation which
sends us-they feel that that gospel is the
greatest of all boons which England can
confer upon India, and that whether it be
for veal or for woe, whether it be for war
or for peace, as things appear to the tempo
raj eye, that there is nothing in all our hearts,
in all our civilization, in all our legislation,
in all our military domination, in all the
protection we afford to life and property and
opinion, there is nothing that compares with
that which is the great secret of all our sue
cess-the truth of the gospel as it is in
Christ"

The Richest Boy in America.

The papers are telling about a boy In New
England, now fourteen years of age, who is
supposed to be the richest boy in the United
States because he has great deal of money.
To our mind, the richest boy in America is
the one who is good hearted, honest, intelli'
gent, ambitious, willing to do right. He is
the one who loves his mother, and always
has a kind word for her; who loves his sister
or sisters, and tries to help them with true
affection. He is the boy who does not call
his father the "old man. but who loves
him, speaks kind nd tries
to help him as IL gather
fast upon his brow.
The richest boy is the one who has pluck
60 fight his destiny and future. He is the
one who has the manhood to do right and be
honest, and is striving to be somebody; who
is above doing mean action, who would not
tell a lie to screen himself, or betray friend
He whose young mind is full of noble
thoughts for the future, who is determined
to win name by good deedS-this is the
richest boy in America. Which one of our
readers is it?
This boy we like, we would be glad to
see, would like to take him by the hand and
tell him to 60 on earnestly, that success
might crown his efforts. And if he is a poor
boy we could meet him at the threshold, bid
him enter, and give him good advice, well
and kindly meant That other rich boy in
New England we don't care any thing about,
for there are fools and snobs enough to wOr
ship, fatter, and spoil him.

S err Eating.


We eat to D warm and to sustain
strength, and all articles of food have those
two elements in varying proportion. Oils,
tallow, and whale blubber are almost wholly
of the warming element; hence in Green
land, where the thermometer is many de-
grees below zero, and great deal of heat is
required, native will drink half dozen
gallons of oil every day, or eat ten pounds
of tallow. In the hottest climates of the
world the inhabitants live to great extent
on fruits and vegetables, which have but
very little of the heating qualities. In our
climate, which is between the two, meats,
vegetables, and fruits are eaten all the year
round: but if eaten judiciously, if eaten ac-
cording to the season,-more of fruits and
vegetables in summer and less of meats and
fats,-an incalculable amount of sickness
would be prevented every year. We would
think man deranged who should keep as
large fires burning in his house in summer as
in winter, and yet we all persist in eating
meats and fats and butter all through the
summer. Meats and butter are on our ia
bles three times day, when in reality they
ought to be sparingly used during the sum
mer months, at least by the young, the old,
and the feeble, and by all who are the most
of the time indoor, or who have no active
employment For the classes just named, a
very appropriate diet for the summer would
be as follows: -.
Breakfast,-coid bread and butter, slice
of cold meat, or in its place couple of eggs,
or saucer of berries or stewed fruit without
milk, cream, or sugar. The same for din
ner, with one vegetable; no other dessert.
For supper, some cold bread and butter and
cup of hot drink, and nothing else; moth
ing whatever between meals. So far from
starving on such diet, the class of persons
above named would thrive on it, would grow
stronger every day, would have more bodily
vigor, more mental elasticity, and greater
flow of animal spirits, and for the reason
that few would eat too much; there would
be nothing to overtempt the appetite, hence
the stomach would not be oyerworked; what
work it did perform, would be well done;
the blood made would be pure, life-giving,
and energizing. Any man or ordinary in
teliigence and observation, who will give a
fair trial to the above system of feeding, will
scarcely fail to be convinced of its value
within week after he begins it.-HaWs

The Course of a River Reversed.

The small and much evoked" river from
which Chicago takes its name is just now in
these hot June days the source of every hor-
rible smell imaginable, as some of the late
attendants upon the General Assembly can
personally testify But, to put it very mild
ly, its non-fragrance is not to continue. The
course of the sluggish stream is to be re-
versed. It's mouth is to become its source,
and Lake Michigan and the contiguous great
bodies of water its original fountains. Chi
cago could be nothing without her river,
which affords some eighteen miles or more of
harbor and dockage accommodation through
the very heart of the city-an inestimable
commercial advantage. But the river has
threatened, nevertheless, to be the death of
the city. Its stagnant, offensive waters,
carrying the contents Of the sewers and the
waste of distllleries and packing establish
ments, have been for years perpetual men
ace of pestilence. People who have never
been here, naturally suppose the river emp
ties into Lake Michigan. 1t ought to do so,
but it does not, except when there is fresh
ct. At all other times it exhibits the most
swinish obstinacy and sluggishness. 1t will
neither be driven nor coaxed. To overcome
this unwillingness seemed to be and was i'm
practicable. What then was to be done?
If the river would not run outward, then the
stubborn, foolish thing should be made to
run the other way, and they would send its
foul waters down into the Gulf OF Mexico
Accordingly enormous pumping engines were
made to lift the waters of the south branch
over into the Illinois and Michigan canal,
which flows into the Illinois river, branch
of the Mississippi But this proved to be an
expensive process, and was necessarily inter
mitted The remedy was only partial
Then, surveys having demonstrated its feast
blity, they set to work to cut down the
"Summit Level of the canal, SO as to es
tablish natural flow, dispensing with the
pumps and with locks also. During the pre-
sent summer the work will be completed, and
the clear, sweet waters of Lake Michigan
will pour into and through the river channel
and the south branch forever. The north
branch will not share equally with the river
and the south branch the benefit of this ar
Whatever additional engineer
ing may become necessary for that branch
will in due time be undertaken.

How to Pray.

One of the most beautiful Illustrations Of
believing prayer which have ever known
was furnished the other day by little boy
some four years old. His grandparents were
talking about the drought.
Eyes, said the grandmother, "my flow
ers viii all be burnt up, and we shall have
no strawberries. Little Bozzy listened
with deep interest, but said nothing. A few
minutes afterward he was seen kneeling in
one corner of the room, with his hands to his
face, and was overheard praying thus: 20
Lord, send down rain, so that grandma
flowers sha'n't be burned up, and so we shall
have plenty of Strawberries. F."
He then arose and came to his grand
mother, saying,
"Your flowers won't burn up, grandma.
We are going to have rain"

co." said little Bozzy, 81 have been
praying for it, and it will come He seemed
to have no doubt of it.
The next morning the first thing the lit
tie fellow did, when he came down stairs, was
to 90 to the back door and open it to see if
it rained. According to his prediction, the
rain was falling upon the thirsty flowers and
the perishing berries. As soon as he saw it
he joyously shouted, cts come, it's come !
I knowed it would. prayed for it. -
We may learn from this interesting Incl
dent, first, the Importance of parental in
struction. This little boy has pious parents,
and they have taught him the nature and
duty of prayer-that it is talking to God,
and that when he needs any thing he should
90 and ask the Lord for it. Hence he is in
the habit of praying for what he wants. One
day when his mother was having her hand
dressed, ION which there was sore, and
complained of pain, Bozzy went off by him
self, kneeled down and prayed, go Lord,
heal mas hand, so it sha'n't hurt her." At
another time he went away and prayed, 90

Lord. send me trumpet" In all this we
see the Importance of parental instruction.
We see, in the second place, the nature OF
faith. 1t is believing that what we ask Tor
we shall receive, according to the language
of Jesus, "What things soever ye desire
when ye pray, believe that ye receive them
and ye shall have them" A brother related
at public meeting an interesting case of
conversion, adding, owe had prayed for 1t
for years, but we were not expecting it. -
That surely was not the prayer of faith.
And yet how many prayers are of that
character
1t is not believed that Jesus will keep his
own word, and therefore the blessing asked
for is not expected. The promise is, "What-
soever ye ask in my name, believing, ye shall
receive" Faith is the condition of success.
It's absence secured failure. Initiate Bozzy.

Trials of Sabbath School Teachers.

Desiring to ascertain the peculiar trial of
my Sabbath School teachers, asked them
some time since to express in writing their
various difficulties, and as their answers may
interest others l venture to transcribe few
extracts herewith: From teacher of an
infant class: Every member of my class is
a little darling. have no complaint except
against myself l do the best l can, and
leave the result with our Father" Another,
a teacher CT class of boys, says: "The
indifference of some of the mothers who al
low their children to come without lesson
is the chief difficulty with which I have to
contend. Another faithful student and
earnest worker says: 4 am troubled with
the levity and Indifference of those old
enough to know better, and by i'll prepared
lessons. At times have been inclined to
give up the class, but now l am determined
to keep them and pray for them till they are
converted or ruined. Still another, the
teacher of a class of restless lively boys
says: The boys are not always as attentive
as 1 should like them to be, but it is my
fault not theirs. Of course they will not
be attentive unless 1 compel their attention

Visiting Farms.

SO manage work as if possible to gain
time between hoeing and haying, to make
a.trip or two to other localities than your
own, to see how crops are worked, what i'm
provements are going on, what new imple-
ments or modes of management have been
introduced, and generally to pick up what
you can that may be useful to you. Don't
start from home with the idea in your head
that all knowledge was born with you, and your
father before you, and his father before him,
so that what has not been handed down in
your family as to farming is not worth the
knowing. The day of traditional wisdom is
over; men live now days and learn, farm
ers among the rest. One way to learn is to
go round with your eyes and ears open to
what other farmers are doing, how they are
doing it, whether to a loss or a profit, and
whether it will pay for you to adopt the
methods of crop growing that succeed with
them. You must of course look before you
leap, look where you are to land on the other
side of the ditch. try to find out the draw
backs to every thing new and promising !;
don't change too suddenly from the old we'll
known pathway to a road wholly unknown
to you. Switch off the old track, if you do
at all, by degrees, so as to risk but little in
the experiment. But if once convinced that
you have found better way than that here
tofore practi8ed by you, don't hesitate and
hesitate as to adopting it, till the golden OPP
Portunity has gone by, and you are too late
to overtake it. Be wisely conservative, but
be progressive, keep moving, even if you
make mistake. Your mistakes will teach
you as we'll as successes. So live and learn
and you will be young even in old age; it
will be green old age.-COngregatioaazist.
