cRANMER.s BURNING.

You saw him how he passed among the crowd;
And even as hewalked the Spanish friars
Still Piled him with entresty and reproach
But Cranmer, as the helmsmsn at the helm
Steers, ever looking to the happy haven
Where ne shall rest at night, moved to his death.
And could see that many silent hands
Came from the crowd and met his own and thus,
When we had come where Ridley burnt with Latimer,
He, with cheerful smile, as one whose mind
Is all made up, in haste put off the rags
They had Knocked his misery with, and all in white,
His long white beard, which he had never shaven
Since Henry death, down sweeping to the chain
Wherewith they bound him to the stake, he stood,
More ike an ancient father of the church,
Than hereto of these times. And still the triars
Piled him, but Cranmer only shook his head,
Or answered them in smiling negatives;
Whereat Lord Williams gave a sudden cry:
"NIake short make shor!r and so they lit the wood
Then Cranmer lifted his left hand to heaven,
And thrust his right into the bitter flame;
And crying, in his deep voice, more than once,
"Thou hast oaended-this unworthy hand"
So held it till it all was burned, before
The flame had reached his body. l stood near
Marked him-he never uttered moan or PAIN
He never stirred or writhed but like statue,
Unmoving in the greatness of the flame,
Gave up the ghost and SO passed, martyr-hke--
Martyr | may not call him-passed-but whittier?

The Brain Left Sided.

The superior size of the left side of the
brain, as well as the fact that it receives q
larger share of the blood than the right,
shows that it is predominant in our system.
This fact is also shown by the prevalence Of
right-handedness among all races of men,
There is no left-handed race among all the
races that people the world. But also the
left-handed individuals of every race have
the brain correspondingly unequal, only that
in their case the right side of the brain is
more developed, and the right side, instead
of the left, controls the faculty of expressing
ideas, whether by language or by gesture,
and acts chiefly in intellectual operations.
The connection between the greater develop
ment of the brain, and the control of reason
and its expression by the side of the brain so
developed, seems conclusively established
The side of the brain which chiefly guides
our actions has the greater mass of gray
matter, the greater number of convutions,
the most plentiful supply of blood.-Corn

Respect the Boys.

How much Of the carelessness, reckless
ness, and want of selfrespect that are mani
tested by boys at school or in the family,
are due to the fact that teachers and parents
do not pay proper respect to them? This
is a question that is worthy of some thought
on the part of educators of youth, whether
their function is exercised in the family or
in the schoolroom.
One very important ingredient of self
respect is the recognition by others that We
are worthy of their respect. The teaching
of the old adage "give dog bad name"
is exemphfed among boys in families and
schools without number. They are not
treated with the consideration and respect
that is their due, and they become unworthy
of both. Courtesy is disregarded toward
them, and in return they send courtesy to
Coventry. Acted toward as if they were
of no consequence and commanded no de-
ference, either as TO their opinions, prefer
ences, desires, or personal dignity, they sink
down to the value at which they are rated,
and respect neither themselves nor others.
And thus they lose all sense of reverence or
veneration; for it may be set down as an
axiom that bOy-and for that matter,
man-who does not respect himself will have
but slight feelings Of reverence or veneration
for others; or, by an easy graduation, for the
law, human or divine.
1t should be the rule in every family, and
should be rigidly required of every teacher
in our public and other schools, that children
must be treated with outward demonstrations
of respect. A certain Difference should be
paid them, and they should be made to I'M
derstand that they are not insignificant or
troublesome nobodies, but important some
bodies. They should invariably be treated
with politeness, dignity, and genuine loving
courtesy.
An excellent story was recently told by
Rev. DR.. Legge, at Grammar School Ex-
hi6ition in London, which is illustrative of
the principle that we would enforce, and
which We respectfully commend to the notice
of parents, teachers, and all who are engaged
in the education of yOuth-mOre especially
of boys. DR.. Legge's story was of the cele-
brated John FrebOl ils, one of the masters

Alone With God.

. A carrier in large town in Yorkshire
heard his carter one day in the yard swear
ing dreadfully at his horses The carrier
was man who feared God, spent his Lords
days as teacher in the Sunday School, and
eudeayored to promote the spiritual good Of
his fellow-creatures. He was shocked to
hear the terrible oaths that resOunded
through the yard. He went up to the
young man, who was just setting off with his
cart for Manchester, and kindly expOstulat-
ed with him on the emornity of his sin, and
then added: But if thou wilt swear, stop
till you get through the turnpike on the
moor, where none but God and myself can
hear"
The poor fellow cracked his whip and
pursued his journey, but he could not get
over his masters words. Sometime after,
his master observed him in the yard, and
was very much surprised to see him so al
tered. There was seriousness and quiet
ness about him which he had never seen be-
fore; and he often seemed as if he had some
thing 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.
"Ah master" said he, edo you know
what you said to me about swearing? l was
thunderstruck. | went on the road, and |
got through the turnpike and reached the
moor; and there 1 thought that though l
was alone, yet God was with me; and l
trembled to think how he had been with me,
and had known all my sins and fOllies all
my life long. My sins came to my remem-
brance; and 1 was afraid he would strike
me dead; and | thank God that have been
aroused to seek after the salvation of my
poor soul"
The master, as may be supposed, was ever
joyed to hear the young mans confession;
and his subsequent conduct gave proof that
he had ceased to be slave to sin.

The Minister'S Wife.

1t should be clearly understood that the
minister's wife is the wJe of the minister and
not Of the congregation ; that she is the
mother of his and her children, and not OF
all the children in the parish who have poor
or thriftless or ignorant parents; that she
has first and ceaselesS duty to perform
for those of her own household, just as others
have to theirs, neither more nor less. II
other wives and mothers will gauge the in
roads that these home and family relation
ships, honestly and faithfully responded to,
make upon their own time, and thought, and
physical and financial resources, they will be
able to estimate the extent of like demands
upon the wife Of the minister; and consci-
entious balancing of these considerations will
probably lead, as it certainly ought to lead,
to an equitable apportionment of the care
and toll of Christian work among all the
members of congregation. 1t an unjust,
and even a dishonest evasion of individual
du4y and responsibility, to shift them as an
additional, unshared burden, upon the should
ers of the minister's wife. The true rule is
that each must carry his own load, though
not forgetting to help one another. If this
be done, none need be laden above his
strength or ability. But if all throw their
burdens upon one, no mortal can be expected
to stand the strain. AS the ministers wife
may not shuttle off the burden of her duties
and responsibilities to God, the Church, her
family, the poor, the sinful, and the wretched,
upon the wife of the layman, SO neither may
the wife of the layman shift her share of the
burden and heat of the day upon the wife of
the minister.
Those who demand so much from the min
ister's wife, who expect her to make up for
their own shortcomings or neglect, and who
are dissatisfied unless she is the vigorous and
inspiriting handspring of a thousand activi-
ties where they themselves are listless or
mere dead-weightg, should always bear in
mind that ministers as well as laymen relish
the charm and are prOfted by the enjoyment
of home life. The parsonage has its domes
tic altar as we'll as the house of the merchant
or lawyer, and the ministrations of the wife
are as essential to comfort and happiness
and rounded life, in the one case as in
the other. If the minister's wife is to be alb
sorbed exclusively with outside affairs by
being made to bear burdens alone which she
should only share with other wives, there
will be little time or opportunity left her,
and none of the electricity and freshness,
which are needed to make the home life of
the minister that remnant of paradise on
earth that it ought to be.-Christ'an Intel
6gencer.

Learn A Trade.

never look at my old steel composing
rule that l do not bless myself that while
my strength lasts, 1 am not at the mercy of
the world. If my pen is not wanted can
90 back to the type case and be sure to find
work, for I learned the printers trade thor
oughly-newspaper-work, job work, book
work, and press-work. l am glad l have a
good trade. 1t is a rock upon which the pos
SCISSOR can stand firmly. There is health and
vigor for both body and mind in an honest
trade. 1t is the strongest and sureSt part OF
the selfmade man. Go from the academy
to the printing-Ofice, or the artisans bench,
or, if you please, to the farm-fOr, to be
sure, true farming is trade, and grand

and after that branch off into whatever pro-
fession you please.
You have heard, perhaps, of the clerk who
had faithfully served Stephen Girard from
boyhood to manhood. On the twenty-frst
anniversary of his birthday he went to his
master and told him his time was up, and he
certainly expected important promotion in
the merchants service; but Stephen Girard
said to him:
every well. Now go and learn trade, D."
"What trade, sir ?"
"Good barrels and butts must be in de,
mand while you live. Go and learn the
cooper's trade, and when you have made
perfect barrel bring it to me"
The young man went away and learned
the trade, and in time brought to his old
master splendid barrel of his own make.
Girard examined it, and gave the maker
two thousand dollars for it, and then said to
him:
"Now, sir, l want you in my counting
room; but hencefOrth you will not be de.
pendent upon the within of Stephen Girard
Let what will come, you have a good trade
always in reserve"

Take Care of Your China.

The Boston Journal Of Chemistry gives
the following very excellent practical advice
for the treatment of China and glassware,
which we copy for the benefit of our young
lady readers, some of whom, as We know by
experience, make sad havoc though uninten-
tionally, with the crockery.
In common dinner service it is great
evil to make the plates too hot, as it invari-
ably cracks the face on the surface, if not
the plate ITSELF We all know the RESULT
comes apart. "Nobody broke it, sit was
cracked before" or "cracked long time"
The fact is, when the glaze is injured,
every time the things" are washed the wa
ter get to the interior, swells the porous clay,
and makes the whole fabric rotten. In this
condition they will also absorb grease; and
when exposed to further heat the grease
makes the dishes brown and discolored.
If an old, ill-used dish be made very hot
indeed, teaspoonful of fat will be seen to
exude from the minute assures on it's surface.
These remarks apply particularly to common
wares.
AS rule, warm water and soft cloth
are all that is required to keep glass in good
condition but water.bottles, in order to
keep them bright, must be rinsed out with
little muriatic acid, which is the best SUBJ
stance for removing the fur" which collects
in them. This acid is far better than ashes,
sand or shot, for the ashes and sand scratch
glass, and if any shot is left it by accident
the lead is poisonous.
Richly cut glass must be cleansed and pol
ished with q soft brush, upon which very
little fine chalk or whiting is put, by this
means the luster and brilliancy are preserved.

Cannot Keep Them.

1t has been stated in the leading papers
of Europe that, in order to stop emigration
from Germany, Prince Bismarck has been
offering imperial lands for sale in small lots
at low prices. This, it was hoped, would stop
the tide by showing the working classes of
Germany they could live as we'll there as in
the United States. But the plan did not
succeed. The lands were not taken. Even
the agricultural hands that remain at home
are not disposed to till the earth, when they
can find more remunerative employment A
letter was lately received in New York upon
this subject from highly intelligent gentle
man in Prussia, in which the writer says that
field hands just now can make more in work
ing upon forts and railroads than in using
the pillow and scythe, and, therefore, the sale
of land is extremely dull and languid. Not

Do What You Can.

A case of sorrow is before you. You can
not restore the joys that are fed, nor bring
back the bright face and dear form now for
ever absent; but you can repeat some sweet
promise of the Comforter, rehearSe some
grief of your oyn, on which there fell a
heavenly balm; or if your tongue falter, give
a loving grasp of the hand, and drop tear
of sympathetic grief.
In the life of che home it may seem to you
that you are the humblest and least impor-
tant element of the household circle. 1t may
be so. You have not so large a power to
guide and strengthen others as many anoth-
er member of the group. But you can bring
always a gentle presence upon the same, the
light of a loving smile, the calmness of pa
thence, the Inspiration of hope, the charm of
an unsef,h spirit. You can take burdens,
perhaps, if you cannot give gifts.
And everywhere in general society you
can move not as one for whom the world was
made, proclaiming by look and gesture,
"Give me room" but as one made to serve
the world, making way for others, giving,
not claiming room, allowing others share
of the sidewalk and crosswalk, standing up
in the street car that infrmity may sit, CIV
ing your place there to what we call the
" gentler sex" and every where seeking the
happiness and comfort of others at cost of
your own.

of the Church, that you have part to per-

The Method of Preserving Grapes.

A French vine-dresser preserves grapes
through the entire winter, their freshness
beauty and SAVIOR remaining unimpaired even
until the month of April. He for long
time kept secret the process, but has lately
given it to the world. The grapes are left
upon the vine as long as possible, care being
had, however, to cut them before the first
frost. The bunch, in cutting, is not de-
tached from the stalk or cane, but the latter
is cut so that the cluster has attached to it,
after cutting, two or three knots and joints
below the cluster and two above. The up
per end is then covered with wax, to prevent
the evaporation of the fluids contained within
the pores of the wood All grapes not abso-
lutely healthy are carefully removed from
the cluster, after which the lower end of the
stock is thrust through the hole in perfo-
