The Photograph Album.

There is a sort of delirious JOY in looking over
a family album, especially if it is a very old al
bum with a sprained back, which occasionally
and Unexpectedly drops through your fingers,
three aunts in the other, and the balance of the
family under the chair. The first picture is of
an old gentleman with an expression of wary
cautiousness in his face as if he was engaged in
lodging a wild bull, and was omewh doubtful
of the result. Opposite him is the grandmother,
a patient looking lady in a black dress, with a
book in one hand and a pair of spectacles in the
other. There is u feeble but well meaning effort
to look safe in her face. On the next leaf is a
middle aged man looking as if he had been sud
denly shot through the roof of a starch factory,
and had landed in a strange country. Opposite
is the picture of his wife, who, having heard a
rumor of the catastrophe, has made up her mind
to be prepared for the worst. Then follow the
children-little girls looking so prim as to make
you squirm, and little boys with their eyes turned
on their noses, and with an expression on their
face of unearthly solemnity. Then follow uncles,
taken in their overcoats, with a spreading incii-
nation in their clothes, hair and face, as if they
were bound to get their moneys worth and
aunts with warts on their noses, and varnish in
their hair, and preposterous lace collars about
their necks. Then there is the bashful young
man penned opposite an aggressive young lady,
whom heaven and some married woman have
designed for each other. There are also the
pictures of Cousin Aleck and his young wife,
who stopped here when on their tour, and no
young man looks at him without retiring at once
and registering a terrible VOW never to get mar
ricd. Besides these is a picture of the man who
lived next door for eight years, at the end of
which time his wife died, and he moved to Illinois
with his children, and is now worth some fifty
thousand dollars. He has been photographed in
his hat, which is one size too large for him, and
which gives him the appearance of having muir
dered bis aunt and concealed the body. Then
there are two or three fine looking eorsairs of no
particular identity, and several broken spirited
women with babies in their arms-directly or
indirectly related to the owners of the album
and the exhibition closes.-Dan6ury Nelcs.

A NEW MOVEMENT IN CHINA.-The Chinese are
preaching their system and setting up benevolent
institutions I! The following strikingly shows how
strong must have been the impression on the pub
lie mind Of the preaching of the gospel and the
working of Christian Institutions. when the Chinese
leaders resort to the course thus indicated -
1.-The Rev. J. Chambers, of the London Mission
airy Society. writes from Canton The influential
part of the community seem to have changed their
tactics entirely for the present. Instead of direct
or violent opposition they resort to works of be-
nevolence and public preaching of their favorite
doctrines. in imitation of us. They are establish
ing hospitals and schools and preaching halls in
the city and in the country. There is now a be-
nevolent institution in the western suburbs of
Canton. for which tens of thousands of dollars are
subscribed by the officials and gentry. Medicines
are dispensed and prescriptions written gratis,
widows and orphans and aged poor are helped,
collins are provided for those who die in poverty,
and free schools established or are TO be established
by this institution throughout the city and suburbs.
But a most remarkable fact is the public preach
ing-a new thing in China, at least. in modern
times, and evidently in imitation of Protestant
missionaries. Not long ago there was an examin-
alton of candidates for the Office of preacher, held
by a committee of the gentry, at which some two
hundred preached trial sermons. in a hall open to
the public, each being allowed half an hour. and
called to halt when the time was up by the ringing
of a bell. Somewhere about sixty of these are
said TO have been selected. TO be paid each thirteen
dollars a month. for preaching in different halls in
the town and country. This movement is, on the
whole, very encouraging in regard TO mission work.
1t shows that a deep impression has been produced
by Christian preaehing.'"-N. y. Independent.

Assyrian Discovery.

Mr.. George Smith writes to the London DAILY
Telegraph, 1.-The collection brought home by
the expedition confded 10 nv charge includes
over 400 separate inscriptions, besides various
objects OF art, domestic economy, implements,
&c. The inscriptions throw new light on the
history, politics, astronomy, mythology, geogra-
ply, and language of ancient Assyria but it
would be tedious TO your readers to inHict on
them a critical and minute examination of all
these texts. l will, therefore, select a few as
characteristic specimens of the collection, and |
shall ommene with a text that has attracted
most attention-that, namely, which belongs TO
the Deluge series. When last year l published q
translation of the text in question, l was obliged
to note with regret that IN the first column Of the
inscription there were about fifteen lines entirely
lost. The lacuna occurred at a point of high
interest 10 students and the world in general-for
the Divine Instructor Of Sisit was about to give
orders for the embarkation in the ark. Ii is
needless, therefore, 10 say with what satisfaction
| lighted upon the welcome tablet which fills up
this very important gap. The fragment | found
during the DAILY Telegraph expedition belongs 10
the first column of the Deluge series of inscrip-
tons it continues the speech of the God Hea,
the commencement of which is on the portion of
tablet already in the Museum. On the fragment
of the old collection, Hea tells Sisit to warn the
world, because of the wickedness of the people :;
on the Daily Telegraph portion Hea continues
by predicting the food, and then commands Sisit
as follows
ION the coming of the food which l shall
send, thou shalt enter into the ship, and the door
of the ship Turn, thou shalt send into the midst
of it thy corn, thy furniture and goods, thy gold
and silver, thy male slaves, and thy female slaves,
the sons of the army, the beasts of the field, the
animals Of the field, all that thou nearest thou
shalt do they shall spread, and
they shall guard the door of the ship. Sisit
attended and opened his mouth, and spake, and
said to the God Hea, his Lord" Five lines of
this speech of Sisit follows this. They are too
mutilated for exact TRANSACTIONS and then in the
answer, Sisit refers to the difficulties in the way
of the work. 1 need not dwell upon the interest
of placing this account side by side with that
contained in the book of Genesis.

SPEAKING ENGLISH.

They had live lord at the Westmin-

With an imperturbable countenanee
the clerk blandly responded
Rather late in the season for flies, sir ;

The Briton stared for minute at the
serious face of the hotel man, and then,
with CLEAN of pity breaking over his
ruddy countenance, said:

SOMETHING WORTH KNowING.-Every
little while, writes a correspondent, we
read in the papers of some one who has
stuck rusty nail into his foot, or knee,
or hand, or some other portion of his
person, and that lockjaw has resulted
therefrom, of which the patient died. If
every person in the world was aware Of
a perfect remedy for all such wounds,
and would apply it, then all such reports
must cease. But although we can give
the remedy, we cannot enforce the appli-
cation Some will not employ it because
they think it too simple; others have no
faith in it when they read it; while 9TH
ers often think such wound Of small
account and not worth fussing over, un-
til it is too late to do any good. Yet
all such wounds can be healed without
such fatal consequences as follow them.
The remedy is simple, almost always on
hand, and can be applied by any one.
and what is better. it is infallible. 1t is
simply to smoke such wound, or any
wound or bruise that is infamed, with
burning wool or woolen cloth. Twenty
minutes in the smoke of wool will take
the pain out of the worst wound, and
repeated once or twice, 1t will allay the
worst case of inflammation arising from
wound we ever saw. People may sneel
at the "old woman's remedy" as much
as they please, but when they are affiict-
ed, just let them try it. 1t has saved
many lives and much pain, and is wor
thy of being printed in letters Of gold
and put up in every home.

THOUGHTS FOR SATURDAY

Prudent men lock up their motives !;
letting familiars have a key to their

spect for honesty, in whatever guise it
appears, and your contempt for dishon-

PRAISE THE CHILDREN.-Therel is an
idea that praise is too good thing to be
given to children; that it is too rich for
their mental and moral digestion. Some
parents are so afraid that child will
grow proud that they never praise him.
and this course is often disastrous. It's
apt to produce too much self-assertlon-
for self-assertion is a legitimate out
growth of withholding eommendatlon
from one who is entitled to it, or it will
engender self-distrust or melancholy
hopelessness of disposition. Praise IS
sunshine to child. and there is no child
that does not need it. 1t is the high re-
ward Of. ones struggle to do right.
Thomas Hughes says that you can never
get mans best out of him without
praise. You certainly can never get a
/ child's best out of him without praise.
Many a sensitive child, we believe, dies
of hunger for lack of kind commendation.
Many a child starving for the praise a
parent should give runs off eagerly after
the designing fattery of others. Towith-
hold praise where itsis due is dishonest,
and in the case of child such course
often leaves singing sense of injustice.
Motives of common justice as well as a
regard for the future of the child should
influence the parent to give generous
praise to all who deserve it. OF course
there is difference in the constitution
of children some cannot bear SO much
praise as others. and some need great
deal 1t should never be indiscriminate.

PARENTAL INTERFERENCE

We all know how it Jared with the
bean that, after being planted, was dug
up every morning to see if it had began
to grow, and which, after having made
a brave struggle for life and gotlts head
above ground, was declared out of order,
and ruthlessly pulled up and turned up
side down. Much of our interference
with children is no less impertinent, and
in its results no less mlschievous Ma
ture abhors meddling to reverent coop
GRAFTON she yields her happlest results
but she will not be diverted from her
purpose by your homilies, nor submit
her plans for your revision. Handmaiden
of the great Architect, she never loses
sight Of the original intention. If you
thwart her, it is at your peril, and she
leaves on your hands the work you have
spoiled. The child in his normal con-
dition is an embodied Interrogation. He.
cannot wait for the eyes alone to report
the objects about him; every finger-tip
is pressed into the service and made to
convey tidings to the eager intelligence.

impressions, stunned by the music of the
spheres, blinded by excess Of light. His

the important and the unimportant, the

questions, allowing the keen intelligence

! the glowing enthusiasm to be damped
by our apathy, the buoyant hope Grip

see not, having ears we hear not, and
standing before the great wonder book

To RESTORE PAINTING PERsoNs.-It is
altogether wrong to hold up fainting
person and especially to keep the head
erect. Painting is caused bya want of
blood in the brain, the heart failing to
act with sufficient force to send the
blood against the laws of gravitation.
If then, you place person sitting,
whose heart has nearly ceased to beat,
his brain will fail to receive blood; if
you lay him down with the head lower
than the heart, blood will run into the
brain by the mere force of gravity; and
in fainting, sufficient quantity, generally.
to restore consciousness.

ExTRAyAGANCE.-Next to the evil of
living beyond ones means, says DIR. Tai
madge, is that of spending all ones in
come. There are multitudes who are
sailing so near shore that slight wind
in the wrong direction founders them.
They get on we'll while the times are
usual and the wages promptly paid; but
panic or a short period of sickness
cause them to droop helpless. Many a
father has ridden in a carriage till he
came to- his grave; then he has lain
down, and his children have got out of
the carriage, and not only been, eempeH-
ed to walk. but to 60 barefoot Against
parsimony and niggardness we proclaim
war; but with the same sentence we con-
denim those who make a '.grand splash
while they live, leaving their families in
destitution when they die.

An old soldier in Sicily gave his wife
silk dress. His wife died and was bur-
led in the dress. Some weeks after the
old soldier saw this dress on a woman
in the country, and, making inquiry, was
told she had purchased it from the Ca
puchin monks, who had the custody of
the village cemetery. He reported the
case to the police, who investigated, and
made the discovery that regular trade
was carried on in effects taken from dead
bodies. There was even trade in hair.

TAKE TINE TO REsT.-Most men and
women must keep in the traces, and keep
pulling, the year round. All the more,
therefore, it is their duty to take things
easier as the hot weather comes on. Take
longer rest at noon. Put On less steam
when you are at work. Snatch Sunday
now and then from the middle of the
week. You can't? You can. People
find time to be sick and to die. They
can just as easily find time to rest and
keep well. Everything does not depend
on finishing that dress or fencing that
field; on putting up" SO much fruit or
catching so many customers. Better that
the children should wear old clothes
than that their mother should be laid
aside by fever. Better that the corn
crop be little lighter than that there
should be no one to harvest it. Let US
have shorter sermons and fewer Of them
on Sunday; longer recesses for the chill
drcn at school on weekdays. Put up the
store shutters earlier at night prepare
palmer meals in the kitchen. Take a
MONDAY nap yourself. and give your
employees a chance to 60 a-fshing Of an
afternoon now and then. That only is
duty which the Lord lays upon US, and
he is not SO hard master as we some
times suppose.
