Children.
HOW THEY ARE TAKEN CARE OF.

HOW IifE1 AXE CARE OF.
1t is simply astonishing how soon young
children pick up slang words, vile words,
profane words, and attach to them mean
ings. 1t is equally surprising how instinc-
lively they conceal all this knowledge from
their parents, and while the mother thinks
her little girl model of innocence and
purity. her neighbors may know that such
is very far from being the case. Therefore
it is not possible for the mother to cult
vate too great an intimacy with the child.
She should have the juvenile heart spread
out before her as mirror, rejecting every
thought, every feeliug, every passion of
the child. Thus she will be able Judi
ciOuslv to administer antidotes to vice and
build up safeguards TO virtue Girls are
As Il general rule brought up in ignorance
of very much which it concerns them to
know. Many young lady dances on the
verge of Il precipice, not knowing her
danger. and many fall from virtue because
their mothers had not the courage to warn
them of the pitfalls in their pathway, and
the steps leading thitherward. The love
of purity. like the love of fame, grows by
what it feeds. and dies if it have not suit
able nutriment. The girl and boy who
have steadily held up before their eyes an
ideal of high and pure womanhood and
manhood, who are taught from early child
hood that their bodies and their souls are
alike sacred to purity, will hardly fail to
realize in maturity the highest wishes of
their parents in these respects. Heroic
virtue is never the result of ignorance in
man or woman. We who know the shoals
along the entrance to mature life. should
build lighthouses on sunken reefs, plant
buoys in dangerous places, and build life
boats for the rescue of the shipwrecked.

A Fox STORY-A certain Norwegian
hunter, who was one morning keeping
watch in the forest, saw a fox cautiously
making his approach toward the stump of
an old tree. When sufficiently near he
took high and determined jump on to the
top of it. and after looking round awhile
hoped to the ground again. After Rev
nard had repeated this knightly exercise
several times he went his way, but pre-
sently returned to the spot, bearing pret-
ty large and heavy piece dry oak in his
mouth and thus burdened, and. as it would
seem for the purpose of testing his vaulting
powers, he renewed his leaps on 20 the
stump. After a time. however. and when
he found that, weighted he WAS, he
could make the ascent with facility, he de-
sisted from further efforts, dropped the
piece of wood from his mouth, and coiling
himself upon the top of the stump. remain
ed motionless, as if dead. At the approach
of evening an old SOW and her progeny,
five or six in number. issued from 4 neigh
boring thicket, and pursuing their usual
track, passed near the stump in question.
Two of her sucklings followed, somewhat
behind the rest, and just as they neared his
ambush, Michel, with the rapidity of
thought, darted down from his perch upon
one of them, and in the twinkling ofan eye
bore it i'm triumph to the fastness he had so
cunningly prepared beforehand. Con-
founded at the shrieks of her offspring the
old sow returned in fury to the spot, and
until late in the night made repeated des-
perate attempts to storm the murdcrer's
stronghold; but the fox took the matter
very coolly and devoured the pig under the
verv nose of its mother.

The Wife of AgaSSiZ.

1t may be a fact less familiar to the pub
lie, but it Is one we'll known to Prof
Amassiz's friends that his wife, was his
complement and in every sense a help
mate What the professor lacked in or
der method or business habits was album
dainty supplied by Mrs Agassiz. 1t was
her graceful and assduous pen that recast
and put into more classic mouds the pro-
fessorS ready English 1t was her con-
stant encouragement and stimulus that
supported the professor in new and difficult
undertakings. Her counsel was always
listened to with respect. 1t is safe is say
that we should not have had so MANY of
his works put i'll permanent form in Eng
lish if it had not been for her earnest CO.
operation. The professor, as all know,
was ready lecturer and always delivered
his addresses without manuscript. In all
his lectures and speeches near home Mrs
Agassiz accompanied him whenever possi-
bic and took copious notes and thus pre-
served the thought for future use All his
communications for the press passed
through her hands. She wrote much from
his dictation, attended to a great many of
his business details, and in thousand WAYS
forwarded his work. Every word of praise
we bestow on the silent dead is an unutter-
ed recognition of her who shared alike his
labors and his rewards. Let us hope that
she who knew him better than any or all
of us, may crown this life of devotion bv
completing and giving to the world her
own record-long since begun-of the
genius and work of him whose departure
has left such a void in our hearts.-Boston

Destruction of Works of Art i'm Jerusalem

During the recent disgraceful squabble
and riot of the monks around Jerusalem
there was one incident that should especial
ly pain all lovers of art. This was the
destruction of the two pictures by Murillo
in the Bethlehem Church that fell a victim
to ecclesiastical fury. They were true
Murillos, and masterpieces; and what is
worse, having been dispatched TO the
church Immediately on their execution.
and there retained. it is believed that they
have never been engraved. They were
unusually well preserved, too, for, on be-
ing placed in the oratOry of La Creche,
both canvases had been covered with glass
TO protect them from candle-smokc. One
of the subjects was the Nativity, the other
the Alteration of the Magi. In reading
with involuntary Indignation and disgust
of this barbarous instance of iconOclasm,
one is reminded of what Thackeray wrote
on the same scene and topic nearly thirty
years ago In his Journey from Cornhill
to Cairo, speaking of the leading Christian
sects in and around Jerusalem, he says:
These three main sects hate each other;
their quarrels are interminable; each bribes
and intrigues with the heather lords of the
soil to the prejudice of his neighbor. Now
it is the LatinS who interfere. and allow
the common church to 60 to ruin, because
the Greeks purpose to roof it; now the
Greeks demolish a monastery on Mount
Oivet. and leave the ground to the Turks,
rather than allow the Armenians to possess
it. On another occasion, the Greeks hay-
ing mended the Armenian steps which lead
to the (so-called) Cave of the Nativity at
Bethlehem. the latter asked for permission
to destroy the work of the Greeks. and did
so. And So round this sacred spot, the CEN
ter of Christendom. the representatives of
the three great sects worship under one
roof, and hate each other" The church
of La Creche is, rs its name implies, the
church of The Manager" G.e., the reput-
ed place of the nativity of Christi and to
this spot, and the furious wrangles of
which it has been the scene. we may there
fore apply the exclamation which Thack-
cray makes regarding the tomb of Christ:
What place to choose for imposture,
good God.-to sully with brutal strug
giles for self-aggrandizement or shameful
schemes of gain" The Germans had the
grace to try to spare with their bombs the
spire of Strasburg cathedral. Rligious
fanaticism in the Middle Ages directed it
self to the destruction of - pagan art, no
matter how beautiful; but in these en-
lightened days for ecclesiastical fury to
take up the barbarous role of destruction,
which even savage war discards. is pitiable
indeed.-LippincOt'S Magazine.

BY THE EVENING LAMP.-Some of the
most cheerful, happy-looking evening home
circles which we have been permitted to
see were those where there was an effort
made to have reading for the benefit of all
one reader-while others were devoted
to what tasks they might do. Some good
book or pamphlet was the order. Now
and then father would put in some word
of comment and mother would make an
inquiry And thus the evening passed
happily and proftably along. Where the
harmony of the home circle thus collects
there must be some light Of pleasure burn

Christmas i'm Spain,

There is no civilized country on earth in
which children are not made happy by the
promise of the coming Christmas, But in
every country the festival is called by a
different name. and its presiding genius is
painted with a different costume and man
ner. You know all about our jolly Dutch
Santa Claus, with his shrewd, twinkling
eyes, his frosty beard, his ruddy face and
the bag of treasures with which he comes
tumbling down the chimney, while his
team of reindeer snort and stamp on the
icv roof The English Christmas is equal

German miracle-tree, the first sight of
which no child ever forgets. But you are,
perhaps not so familiar with the spirit of
the blessed season of advent in Southern
Europe, and so l will tell you some of the
pleasures and fancies of the Spanish Christ
mas.
The good cheer which it brings every
where is especially evident in Spain. They
are a frugal people; and many a good
Spanish family is supported by less than
the waste of household on Murray Hill.
But there is no sparing at Christmas.
This is season as fatal to turkeys as Thanks
giving in New England. The Castilian
farmers drive them into Madrid in great
droves, which they conduct from door to
door, making the dim old streets gay with
their scarlet wrattles, and noisy with OBJ
streperous gabbling. But the headquarters
of the marketing during those days are in
the Plaza Mayor, where every variety oi
fruit and provision is sold. There is moth

LIVING WATERS.

LIVING WATERS.
Weary and faint in the sultry nom,
Half blind with the burning sun,
plodded along the dusty road,
And wished that the day was done.
The skies were brazen above my head,
The earth was ashes below,
The cattle lay stretched in the scany shade,
Where the brook had ceased to flow.
Weary and faint as turned my eyes
To the woods upon my right,
l caught through the boughs glimps. beyond,
That never had met my sight.
And there, in the forest depths, found,
But step from the broad highway,
The daintest bit of enchanted ground
Where my feet ever CHANGED to stray.
Tall evergreens, wavei by an unseen brcez,,
Encircle this hid len dell,
And there, in the midst, living spring
In sivery rppies fell.
My feet sank deep in the feathory moss
As gazcd with delight around,
Then there struck to my he ART . sen Sc of loss
At this beauty SO newly found.
Yet the birds and the beasts my spring had known
For path was worn smooth and hard,
And gauze-wnSed flies lowered over the ferns
That around its waters kept guard.
The GOODNESS entered my heated brain,
The stiffness rested my soul.
And chcerfully turned to the roal again,
For Nature hal male me whole.
Then there rose a scene from the misty past,
OF burning Eastern sky.
Whence the MONDAY sun smote 0erccly i own
On hiyh-road winding by.
As weary traveller paused to rest
On the stones of Jacobs we'll,
Way-worn and faint with care oppressed;
+ is the Oil. old tale / tell
How the precious words so lightly read,
And forgotten long ago,
Came Suddenly back IN angel bani,
Never, never again to go.
opened my heart to the gift of God,
Transcending my utmost need
If Jesus the Christ lad made me whole
Then should be whole indeed.
But sa ~ that the path hal found so Late
Had by many foot been trod;
Not far from my weary, dusty road
Had been beauty and peace and God.
And still the thirsty travellers go
Through the worlds heat and strife
And pass uuheeded the streams that now
From the crystal River of Life.
