WHIT A SLIDER CAN DO.

Let me put spider into lady's hand. She
is aghast She shrinks The nasty ugly
thing Madam, the spider is perhaps shocked
at your Brussels lace, and although you may
be the most equisite painter living, the spider
has right to laugh at your coarse daubs as she
runs over them. just show her your crochet
when YOU shrek at her. 81 Have you spent
half your days." the spider, if she be spiteful,
may remark" have you spent half your time
on these clumsy ottoman covers? My dear
lady, is that your web? If | were big enough,
| might with reason drop you and cry out
against you. Let me spend day with you
and bring my work. / have four little bags
Of thread--such little bags In every bag
there are more than 1000 holes such tiny
holes Out of each hole thread runs, and
all the threads-more than 1000 threads
spin together as they run, and when they are
spun they mako but one thread of the web
weave. / have member of my family who
is herself no bigger than grain of sand.
Imagine what slender web she makes, and
of that, too, each thread is made of 1000 or
5000 threads that have passed out of her four
bags through four or five thousand little holes.
Would you drop her, too crying about your
delicacy9 A pretty thing for you to plume
yourself on your delcacy, and scream at us.
Having made such a speech we may suppose
that the indignant creature fastens rope
round one of the lady's hands, and lets herself
down lightly to the floor Coming down
stairs is noisy, clumsy work, compared with
her way of locomotion. The creeping things
we seorn are miracles of beauty. They are
more delicate than any ormolu clock, or any
lady's watch made for pleasures sake.

ENGLISH LANDOWNERS.

1t is sometimes confidently asserted, both
in this country and in England, that five
hundred people own half the soil of Great
Britain. The statement is entirely untrue.
There is another statement also quite popu-
lar which appears to be more worthy of be
lief, because it is taken from official figures.
The British census of 1861 gives 1925 as
the number of landed proplietors in the
United Kingdom. The inference, if there
were no more facts to be learned, would be
irresistible, that less than 30 600 persons own
the entire territory of the British Isle. But
it was discovered by some one who took pains
to investigate that more than half the persons
set down as landowners were women. 1t was
also discovered that thousands Of persons who
own land were set down as "private gentle
men, or as farmers" The untrustworthi-
ness of the figures was thus absolutely proved,
but they have, nevertheless, done duty in nu-
merous speeches of land-refonners for ten
years.
The Duke of Richmond, in debate during
the session lately closed in the House of Lords,
exposed the extent to which the above state
ments were wide of the truth. According to
the census, there were but 245 landed proprie-
tors in Hertfordshire AS there arc 391, 141
acres of land in the county, this would leave
an average of almost 1,600 acres to each
owner. But the Duke took pains to go through
the rate-books, and found that the owners OF
land in Hertfordshire number 1888, which is
forty -four and one-third acres of land to each
owner, and an owner to every twenty-five per
sons of the population by the census of 1871.
The same rate for England alone would make
the number of proprietors almost a million
1t is not, however, pretended that Hartford
shire is a fair test of the whole country. The
Earl of Derby gave it as his opinion that the
number of proprietors was in the neighbor.

spUaG Eoy IN THE PULPIT.

On Sabbath morning last heard Mr.. Spur
Qeon, in his colossal Tabernacle. So did about
four thousand five hundred people. 1t seats
that number; and nearly six thousand can be
wedged into it when the aisles are filed with
" stand ups" As had heard from Spurgeon

pairing his sermons lin a half hour Of jotting
down heads on a bit of paper). | listened to
him with all the more of professional in
terest. His subject then was the Glory of the
Grace of God. 1t was rich, old fashioned
doctrinal preaching, freshened by lively illus
tration. If Robertson was perfect in the style
to read Spurgeon is almost perfect in the style
to hear. After listening to brother Spurgeon,
several times, and conversing with him freely,
| am persuaded that the secret of his marvel
Gus success lies in three things q magnificent
voice, his strong, racy Saxon English, and u
prodigious eanestness in preaching Jesus
Christ right home to sinners hearts. He
beIieDes, with all his soul, that men are sim
ners and that unless they repent they will
be lost. Doubts never trouble Spurgeon. He
never stops to defend the out-works of Reve-
lation he plants his guns on those redoubts,
and fires red hot truth with unerring accuracy
of aim. As a preacher of the living gospel,
his is the nearest to. John Bunyan of any

There can hardly be a greater sign of pros
perity in a community than disposition to
help one another, to lift a little when a neigh
boris wheel gets stuck in the mud.
We know of place where mans barn,
with all his winter stores of grain and hay
were consumed in one night. Immediately
all the men of the country side mustered and
hauled up timbers for a new barn, and then a
big raising came off. After that the sound
of twenty or more hammers was heard until
the whole was shingled and sided. But their
deed of kindness was not done yet one or
two offered to take head or two of his stock
and winter them for him, thus greatly lreduc-
ing his loss, and assuring his heart of the
more durable riches of brotherly love and
neighborly good will. No one can compute
in money the value of one such example of
noble liberality in community. Especially
in its influence upon the young. Where this
spirit prevails there is sure to be progress in
a place, even if all improvements are in their
infancy. People will like to come and settle
in place which bears such good name.
Now if you desire to see your place growing,
popular one, do what you can to show your
self a good neighbor, especially to those who
need little extra help.
If man starts tin shop or blacksmith
shop in your place, don't harness up and drive
off five miles to buy your pans and get your
horses shod, just because you have been in
the habit OF doing so. Patronize the new
conner when you want anything done in his
line. Speak encouragingly to him, and well
of him to your neighbors Little words of
approval or censure go long way, and when
once you have spoken them, you cannot call
them back.
Help the sick, especially if they are poor,
for poverty and illness are indeed heavy bur-
den. Perform acts of loving charity which
fail day by day in your path. remembering
who it is that has said, eye shall in no wise
lose your reward. "-Erchange.

CARE FOR THE EYES.

Multitudes of men and women have made
their eyes weak for life by the too free use of
the eyesight by reading small print and doing
fine sewing In doing these things, it is well
to observe the following rules in the use of
the eyes
Avoid all sudden changes between light and
darkness.
Never read by twilight or on very cloudy
day.
Never sleep so that when waking the eyes
shall open on the light of the window.
Do not use the eyes by light so scant that it
requires an effort to discriminate.
Never read or sew directly in front of the
light of window or door.
1t is best to have light fall from above, OBJ
liquely over the left shoulder.
Too much light creates glare and pain,
and confuses the sight. The moment that
you are sensible of an effort to distinguish,
that moment stop and talk, walk or ride.
AS the sky is blue and the earth is green, it
would seem that the ceiling should be blush
tinge, the carpet green, and the walls OF some
mellow tint.
The moment that you are instinctively
prompted to rub the eyes, that moment cease
using them.
If the eyelids are glued together on wax
ing, do not forcibly open them, but apply the
saliva with the finger, and then wash your
eyes and face with warm water.

.ARCHIrEcTURAL VIEW YORK.

Great old times were the honest eras of the
doughty burghers--of knee breeches and shoe
buckles--of long stemmed pipes and ancient
cooked hats, when New Amsterdam rejoiced
in the dominion of their High Mightiness, who
held sway over the key to the Hudson, and
who floated the greasy Dutch flag over their
actual colony and the embryo City. The
landmarks of those good old times of ancient
honesty are few--the footprints of time are
being stamped out by progress, and the New
York of to-day is an ornament to the whole
world. The same Manhattan Island which
once stood as an undeveloped problem of semi
national existence stands where it then stood
the same restless waters sweep down from
He'll Gate and the Hudson-but save these
waters, there is little of the old Dutch times,
"when Broadway was path for cows,
And all the streets were lanes,
And the houses looked so quaint and queer
With their bulls eye window panes."
And yet, the New York of to-day overtops
in its general magnfcence the vaunted cities
of Europe. Strip the historical and modern
cities of Europe of their palaces and their
kingly follies, and there is no such city as our
own New York. There is more money ex-
pended in the business portion; the elabora-
ton of the buildings used for mercantile and
financial purposes is more decided than in any
city of the Old World, perhaps without ex-
ception. And this fact alone marks the pro-
gress of New York, as the ultimate greatest
Architectural City of the world. We have
neither the room nor the disposition for the
erection of palaces-we have no need of any
monument of monarchical extravaganza, or
mistaken so-called Republican folly-the resi-
dence of our honored merchants-the long
streets of elegant buildings which line the
avenues and cluster about the Central Park
are the handsomest, taken as a whole, that
the world presents and we may be proud of
architectural Manhattan Island as fair APP
plicaton of what the good old Dutchmen
probably wanted us TO do, and which, though
perhaps not in obedience to their legacy or
request, we are doing-with speed which
betokens progress, and betrays energy with
out neglect of caution. Commercial.

JAMES MONROE.

An iconoclastic writer in Old and New paints
a by no means flattering sketch of the fifth
President of the United States
There are no sadder questions, as poet and
statesman know alike, than those which ask,
what might have been. What might have
been--and what might not have been--if, in
1920 and 1921, we had had man of purpose
in the Presidency, instead of James Monroe
Here was feeble piece who in the Revclu-
ton had deserted his country, had played all
of a traitors part that coward could play;
who, by the accident of Virginian birth, had
been translated into official position by great
men who thought they could conveniently
manage him who, on every occasion when he
had a chance, had managed to do wrong. But
this man having been, for Mr.. Madison's con-
venience, made Secretary of State, happened,
we must say, perhaps, to the President when
the Missouri question came along If only
John Adams had been in that place If even
Thomas Jefferson, to whom we owe, they say
the confirmation of Nathan Danes great
edict, had been in power If any man, COM
petentsto read the future, or even to look in
the future, could have held the power which
the President of the United States, when he
is a man, holds in such a crisis Instead of a
man, there was a James Monroe. There is
not, so far as we know, in the whole discus
sion, public or private an allusion to the poor
creatures opinion. He was there to be used
by the slave-dealing coterie and he was used
by them. After they had used him, they for
got him, and the country has forgotten him to
this hour. But we cannot help saying,

A PRErry LITTLE Essay ON THE " TuR-

A PRETTY LITTLE ESSAY ON THE TUR-
KIE. AT the last school exhibition of town
in Maine, the following essay received the
prize On the Turlxle. This animal is found
most always in the water and then he comes
on dry land. The turkle cannot fly. If he
was the right kind of a bird he could fly but
if he was goose bird or an ostrich he could not
fly The turkle has four paws and mouth
like the American eagle, which makes the
British Lion and the uniform tremble. The
turk1e has a shell, and sometimes folks put
fire on it and the turlkle crawls out. When
the turkle crawls out of his shell he is very
wet and sickly. There are two kinds of
turkle mud-turkle and the other kind. We
don't have any other kind in our pond.
French and Irish people eat turl<le and frogs
but | should not like to. ] caught a turkle
once, but it did not do me any good, for
swopped it off for jack-knife and cut my
fingers. Father said it was judgment, but
thought it was a knife. | don't know much
about turkles, but am for Grant.

MISCELLANY.
BROTHER ANDERSON.
BY THE REV. THOMAS X. BEEcHER.

was to preach for brother Anderson. He
was a good pastor. Almost the last time
saw him he had just called upon lamb of
his flock to ask after her spiritual welfare, and
for fifty cents toward his salary. lie had left
his tub and brushes at the foot of the hill,
and he resumed them when he made his call i;
for, like the great apostle, he used to labor,
working with his own hands.
Four years had met him, but had not
known him; he was silent and constrained.
He never seemed to know, much less resent,
the caste prejudice that weighs so heavy on
his race. All this was long ago He has
preached his last sermon, and is, doubt not,
restfully awaiting the resurrection of the just.
Punctual to the hour, brother Anderson
came rolling across the street, and up to the
door, and we went in together. After the
usual songs and prayers, l took for my text
Paul's counsel to the Corinthians as to their
disorderly meetings and meaningless noises.
The sermon was, in the main, reading of
the fourteenth chapter of Paul's first letter,
with comments and applications interspersed.
/ spoke for half an hour, and while showing
lOl bic Ioioy ways VI my dudi-
ence, exhorted them to cultivate intelligence
as well as passion.
"When you feel the glory of God in you,
let it out of course. Shout Glory, clap your
hands, and all that. But stop now and then,
and let some wise elder stand up and tell what
it all means. Men and boys hang round your
windows, and laugh at you and religion be-
cause they don't understand you. Some men
have religion all in the head-clear, sharp,
dry and dead Others all in the heart. They
feel it in their bones. Now, / want you to
have religion in your hands and hearts. Let
all things be done decently and in order"
was very well satisfied with my effort at
the time it seemed success. As | sat down
brother Anderson got up and stood ON the
pulpit step to give out hymn:
Let saints below in concert sing.
am not certain that he could read, for he
stood book in hand and seemingly from
memory gave the number of the hymn, and
repeated the first two stanzas with deep and
growing feeling. Of the third he read three
lines
