The briefness Of the period 10 which a

IsmaiIia, which was built in 1859, at
the time Of the opening Of the Snez
Canal. 1t then had 10000 inhabitants.
1t is now almost deserted, miserable
remnant of 600 people only being left.
Even the palace built by the Viceroy to
entertain his royal guests is becoming
diapidated and the court yard is half
full ofdrifting sand. Trains between
Cairo and Ismaillia are often sand bound

When Not to Do 1t.

Look we'll to the time doing for
things there is time for all things
Choose the right time for sayings.
If your wife looks wearied and
worn out, be sure II is not the right
time to tell her that the dinner is
not hot. or that the bread is sour.
Comfort her--cheer her up. Use
the ten thousand little stratagems
YOU were want to handle SO skill
fully in the old days, to bring out
the smiles around her lips.
Ifyou are annoyed,or vexed at
peopiG, Just remember it is not the
right time to speak. close your
mouth, shut your teeth together
firmly, and it will save you many
a useless and unavalling regret,
and many bitter enemy.
If you happen to feel little cross
and who among us does not, at
some time or other?-do not select
that season for reproving Eyour
noisy household flock. one word
spoken in passion will make scar
that number of smiles are hardly
heal over.
If you are a wife, never tease
your husband when he homes
home, weary, from his days bust
ness. 1t is not the right time. Do not
ask him for expensive outays when
he has been talking about hard
times; it is most assuredly the
wrong time.
If he has entered upon any ur,-
dertaking against your advi, @ sdc
not seize on the MON" mt of its
failure, to say, 81 '.old YOU so ~
In fact, it is never the right time
for those four monosyllabies.
If people knew enough ito dis
criminate between the right time
and the wrong, there would be less
domestic unhappiness, less silent
sorrow, and less arrangement o
heart! The greatest calamitie'
that overshadoW our lives have
sometimes, their germ in matter
as apparently slight as this. If you
would only pause, reader, before
the singing taunt, or the bite
sheer, or the unkind scott passes
your lips, pause just long enough
to ask yourself, "Is it. the RICH

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT

The editor of the Knickerbock
er attributed the following TO TX
Marvel, and it is certainly worthy
of him. Read it without tears If
yOn can:
Last evening we were walking
Rasurely along, the music Of ehoirs
in three churches came floating
out into the darkness around us,
and they were all new and strange
tunes but one. And that one-it
was not sung as we have heard ii
but 1t awakened a train Of long
buried memories that rose to us
even as they were before the GEM
etery of the soul had tomb in it.
1t was sweet 'Corinth they were
singing-strains we have seldom
heard since the rose color of life
was bIanched; and we were i'm a
moment back to the old village
church, and it was summer af-
ternoon, and the yellow sunbeams
were streaming through the west
windows, and the silver hair OF
the old deacon, who sat in the put
pit was turned to gold in its light,
and the minister, whom we used
to think could never die, so good
was he, had concluded 'applica-
tien' and 'exortation,' and the
village choir was singing the last
hymn, and the tune was 'Corithn.
II is years-and we dare not
think bow many-since there are
the prayers of David, the son of
Jesse, are ended and the choir
are scattered and gone. The girl
with blue eyes that sang alto. and
the girl with black eyes that sani
air-the eyes Of the one were like
the clear June heaven at noon
They both became wives, and
both mothers, and they both died.
Who shall say they are not sing
ing 'Corinth' still where Sa J.
baths never wane, and congrega-
tons never break up: There they
sit Sabbath after Sabbath, by the
square column at the right of the
leader,and to our young ears their
tones were the soul of music
That column bears still their pen
ciled name as they wrote them in
those days of life's June, 1S3-, be-
fore dreams of change had over.
