Inexpensive Happiness.

The,most perfect home I ever
saw was, in a little house into the
incense.of. whose fires went no
costly things. A thousand dol
lars served for a years living OF
father, mother, and three child
ren. But the mother was the
creator of a home; her relation
with her children was the most
beautiful l have ever seen; even
a dull and commonplace man
was lifted up and enabled to do
good work for. souls by the at
mosphere which this woman
created; every inmate of her
house involuatarily looked into
her face for the keynote of the
day; and it always rang clear
From the rose bud or clover-leaf
which,in spite of her hard house
work, she always found time to
put by our plates at breakfast,
down to the story she had on
hand to be read in the evening,
there was no intermission of her.
Influence. She has always been
and always will be my ideal of a
mother, wife, home maker. If to
her quick brain, loving heart and
exquisite face had been added
the appliances of wealth and the |
engagements of wider culture.

Relative Weights Of Men ana
Woman.


A recent writer offers certain
interesting facts regarding the
relative weights of men and wo-
men, from which We condense as
follows: The average weights of
boys. at birth range a little over
six pounds and a half, while girls
fall a little below this figure. Fer
the first twelve years the two
sexes increase in weight in about
the same ratio, after which time
the boys take the decided lead,
the result being that young men
of twenty average about one hun
dred and forty three pounds, while
the average for Women of the
same age is twenty-three pounds
less. Men reach there heaviest
bulk at the age, thirty-five, their
average-weight at that time be-
ing about one hundred and fifty
two pounds. The maximum of
weight is attained by woman at
the age Of fifty years, and is about
one hundred and twenty-eight
pounds. The weight of the aver
age man or woman at full growth
is about twenty times that at
birth, y ~ GAAB y =

Preside Department.


She was enc of the kind called
unconverted teachers. That is to
say, she was not a member of the
icfurch. never having made pro-
fession.
From one and another,and an
other of the classes around her,
scholars were being converted.
She looked on with interest, but
had no particular expectation
that any of her own scholars
would experience a change of
heart. She never thought much
.abont renewed hearts.
The many conversions in the
school were the subjects of free
conversation, and from the pull
pit and the superintendent's desk
the harvest was spoken of in
terms of great hopefulness and
joy.
Two girls came to this teacher
one bright morning. and told her
that they wanted her to talk with
them about their souls; that they
were troubled, and wanted her to
lead them to God for light, and
tell them about Jesus Christ.
What coald.s dog She had
no idea that any Of this work of
conversation would come SO near
her. ,Gl2Hfla saE @fp1S
She had a short and rather un-
satisfactory conversation with
them, and they left her.
Then she went to the superin-
tendent.

She processes faith in Christ, and
she rejoices in it. Whatever was
formerly her unfitness, she now

practical knowledge; but now she
is happy.-Koman's Hork.

A Swearer Alone With God.

Acarrier in a large town in
Yorkshire heard his carter one
day in the yard swearing dread
fully at his horses The carrier
was a man who feared God, spent
his LORDS day as teacher in Sun
day School, and endeavored to
promote the spiritual good of his
fellow-men. He was shocked to
hear the terrible oaths that re
sounded through the yard. He
went up to the young man, who
was jest1setting off with his cart
for Manchester, and kindly ex-
postulated with him on the ener-
nifty of his sin, and then added,
.But if thou wilt swear, stop till
thou get through the turnpike on
the moor, where none but God
and thyself can hear
The poor fellow cracked his
whip and pursued his journey,but
he could not get over his masters
words. Some time after,his mas
ter observed him in the yard and
was very much surprised to see
him SO much altered. There was
a seriousness and quietness about
him which be had never seen be-
fore; and he often seemed as if he
had something to say that he
could not get out. At length his
master was SO much struck with
his manner that he asked him if
he wanted anything. W = =
"Ah! MASTER" said he, "do Won
know what you said to me about
swearing! l was thunderstruck.
l went Ten the road, and got
through the moor; and then I
thought that, though l was alone,
yet God was with me; and i
trembled to. think how he had
been With mesand had known all
my sins and follies all my life
long. My sins came to nv re-
'membrance, and l was AFRAID that
he would strike me dead; and l
thank God that l have been
aroused to seek after the saliva
ton of my soul"
The master, as may be suppos-
ed, was noyeUoyed to hear the
young inan's confession; and tits
gratifying to know that his sub.
sequent conduct gave proof of
his having ceased to be slave to
