Each particle of matter is an immen-
sity, each leaf world, each insect an in
explicable compendium.
The fawning courtier and the surly
squire often mean the same thing-each
his own interest.
High Office is like pyramid only two
kinds of animals reach the summit-rep-

Dance as long as you can; we must
travel through life, but why make dead
march of it?
A grain of sand leads to the fall of a
mountain when the moment has come for
the mountain to fall.
Contempt is kind of gangrene, which,
If it seizes one part of a character, cor
rupts all the rest by degrees.
Life is short day, but is a working
day. Activity may lead to evil, but in
activity cannot lead to good.
A man who loves only himself and his
pleasures is vain, presumptuous, and
wicked even from principle.
Most arts require long study and ap-
plication; but the most useful art of all
that of pleasing requires only the desire.
1t is very natural for young friend
and young lover to think the persons
they love have nothing to do but to
please them.
The selfish man suffers more from his
selfshness than he from whom that sell
fishness withholds some important bene-
fit.
Railway travelling is not travelling at
all; it is merely being sent to a place,
and very little different to becoming a
parcel.

Building q Home.

A good architect says that no man has
a right to build house until he himself
knows what he wants. The tastes OF
every family are different, and the houses
should express them. If a household is
musical and not literary, it is of good
deal more importance that there should
be convenient nook for a piano than
unlimited space for book.shelves. But
why should people who care nothing for
the concord of sweet sounds pay to gen.
tility the tribute of a music room 2
Furniture, too, should take its color from
the taste and the necessities OF each
household. People who make their liv-
iug-room their sole parlor do not want it
furnished with silk or satin, which must
either be shrouded in unsightly brown
linen, or else soon becomes so marred and
disfgured as to be torment to the eye.
For such comfortable living -rooms-an
they are the pleasantest rooms in which
any one can ask guest TO sit down
give us good strong woolen reps, or even
old fashioned haircloth, rather than
silken dilapidation. Take any good
sized room, and put paper on the walls
of subdued yet cheerful tone; hang up
a few good photographs or engravings
let few flowers bud and blossom in the
sunniest window have plenty Of tables,
and plenty of books and papers on them
soft chairs and convenient footstOols, and
the king himself would enjoy passing an
hour there-or else the king is person OF
poor taste.

Bishop Simpsons Life Saved by
Prayer.

indianapolis Sentinels report Of Sermon by Bishop
Bowman)
remember once when there was a con-
ference at Mt. Vernon, in this State, at
which l was present. Bishop Jayne was
presiding on one afternoon, and after
reading a dispatch stating that Bishop
Simpson was dying in Pittsburgh, asked
that the Conference unite in prayer that
his life might be saved. We knelt down,
and Mr.. Taylor, the great street preacher
prayers. After the first few sentences,
in which joined with my whole heart,
my mind seemed to be at ease, and did
not pay much attention to the rest of the
prayer, only to notice its beauty. When
we arose from our knees, l turned to q
brother and said, "Bishop Simpson will
not die, feel it," / then told him how
the feeling had come over me, and he
assured me that he had experienced the
same impression. The word was passed
around, and over thirty ministers, who
were present, said they had the same
feeling. / took my book and made a
note of the hour and circumstance.
Several months afterward ! met Bishop
Simpson and asked him what he did to
recover his health. He answered that he
did not know, but that the physician
had said it was miracle. He said that
one afternoon, when at the point of death,
the doctor left him, saying that he should
be left alone for a half hour. At the
end of that time the doctor returned,
and Immediately noticed great change
in the patient He was startled, and
asked the family what they had done for
the Bishop, and they replied nothing at
all. That half hour found, by making
allowances for difference in localities,
was just the time when we were praying
for him at Mt. Vernon. From that time
on he steadily improved, and has lived
to bless the Church and humanity. If
the Lord could touch the vitality in one
direction, he could i'm another. Bishop
Simpsons case, and ten thousand others,
are living examples of that to-day. God
does answer prayer for physical good. /
know He dees. On the God who has 40
often answered my prayers, / will still
rely, scientific men and philosophers to
the contrary, Notwithstanding. Amen.

The Horn Book.

Down to the time of George H., there
was perhaps no kind of book SO largely
and universally used az the horn book I;
at present there is no book of that reign
it would be more difficult to procure a
copy of. 1t was the primer ofour ances-
tors-their established means of learning
the elements of English literature. 1t
consisted Of single leaf, containing on
one side the alphabet, large and small
in black letters or in Roman with per-
haps small regiment in monosyllables
and copy of the Lords Prayer; and
this leaf was usually set in frame of
wood, with slice ofdiaphanous horn in
front-hence the name. horn book
Generally there was handle to hold it
by, in which there was usually bolc for
a string, whereby it was slung to the
girdle of the scholar. The alphabet on
the horn book was invariably prepared
with cross, whence it came to be
called the Christ Cross Row, or by cor
ruption, the Criss Cross Row, term
which was often used instead of horn

A Story Of the Iron Manufacture.

Toward the close of the last century o
great improvement was introduced Oi
making bars and rods by passing iron
through groove rollers, instead ofsimply
hammering it on an anvil. Until this
invention all bars above three-quarters
of an inch square were thus subjected,
while sizes below that limit were pro-
duced by splitting, which superseded a
much less efficient process.
How this was brought about in Eng
land is very curious. A man named
Foley, who was fiddler, living near
StOurbridge, was often witness of the inn
mense labor and loss of time caused by
dividing the rods of iron necessary in the
process of making nails. The discovery
Of the process called splitting, in works
called splitting-mills, was first made in
Sweden, and the consequences of this
advance in art were most disastrous to
the manufacturers of iron about StOur-
bridge.
Foley, the fiddler, was shortly missed
from his accustomed round, and was not
again seen for many years. He had
mentally resolved to ascertain by what
means the process of splitting the bars of
iron was accomplished, and without COM
municating his designs to single human
being, he proceeded to Hull, and thence,
without funds, worked his passage to the
Swedish iron port.
Arrived in Sweden, he begged and fid-
died his way to the iron foundries,
where, after long time, he became a
universal favOrite with the wOrkmen
and from the apparent entire absence Of
intelligence, or anything like ultimate
object, he was received into the works, to
every part of which he had access. He
took the advantage thus offered, and
having stored his memory with observa-
tions on all the combinations, he disap-
peared from among his kind friends as
he had appeared, no one knew whence
or whittier.
On his return to England he COM
municated his voyage and its results
to a Mr.. Knight and another person in
the neighborhOod, by whom the necessa-
ry buildings were erected and machinery
provided. When at length everything
was prepared, it was found that the ma
chinery would not act; at all events it
did not answer the sole end of its erec-
tion, for it would not split the bar of
iron.
Foley disappeared again, and it was
supposed that shame and modification
at his failure had driven him away for
ever. Not so. Again, though somewhat
more speedily, he found his way to the
Swedish iron works, where he was re-
ceived most joyfully; and to make more
of their fiddler, he was lodged in the
splitting-mill itself.
This was beyond his utmost hope. He
examined the works, and very soon found
out the cause of his failure. He now
made drawings and rude tracings, and
having stayed long enough to verify his
observations, and to impress them clear
ly on his mind, he made his way to the
port and once more returned to England.
This time he was completely successful,
and by the results of his experience ell.
riched himself and greatly benefited his
countrymen.

NUMBER II.
A Quiet Fisherman.

He didn't ask the boys for the best
place to dig worms, and he didn't Offer
to bribe any of them to show him the
best fishing spot. He suddenly appeared
among them with long selection from
the cane-brake over his shoulder, and,
after q silent survey of the shore, he
walked down to where an old log was
lying with one end half buried in the
bank, and there took seat.
"Want to catch whale~ yelled one
impudent boy.
"Oh he's after Goldfish !" shouted an
other.
He didn't mind them. Some old men
would have spit on their hands, and
shaken their fists, and thrown SOlomon's
injunction up TO the boys, but he con-
tinued calm and unruffled. He removed
the pole from his shoulder, attached a
grub to the hook, and flung the line far
out. Then he crossed his legs, got firm
hold of the pole, and CON menced to fish.
1t was early in the morning. The boys
threw stones, which fell beside the old
mans hook with deep ker-chunk," !"
and they SHE'D pieces of dirt, which
came within an inch of the old mans
hat, but he would not even turn his
head. He sat up straight, kept his eyes
on the spot where the fish-hoOk went un-
der, and he had no care for what was
passing around him.
Some men going down the river in a
skiff asked him if he was intending to
supply the market with fresh mackerel,
but he never raised his eyes. The "wash"
from passing steamer ran over his boots
and up to his knees, but he did not move
an inch.
At noon the boys went home, unable
to stand the broiling sun any longer.
Sweat was to be seen on the back of his
coat, and running down along his wrin-
kled cheeks, but his coat tails still
dangled in the river, and his lonesome
looking eyes were still fastened on the
fish-line. He was there at one o'clock,
at three, at five. Once he seemed about
to pull up the line to see il the hook was
all right, but he thought better of it, and
the pole settled back to its original posi-
ton.
AS the shades of evening gathered, the
old man uncrossed his legs, and an exult-
ant smile played across his face. He rose
up, stepped over the log, and began to
haul in on the pole. The smile grew
broader-victory could be read in his
eyes. The line came in foot by foot, and
by and by he gave it twist and flop,
and landed hook and "catch on the
shore. The smile faded away; the exult-
ant look was replaced by the same old
sorrowful, wOe-begone expression. He
bent over, unfastened the hook from an
old hat, wound the line around the pole,
shOuldered the latter, and was lost in the
deep shadow of night as he toiled up the
honly

Domestic Barbering.

You can always tell boy whose
mother cuts his hair. Not because the
edges of the hair look as though they
had been chewed off by an absent
minded horse, but you tell it by the way
he stops on the street and wriggles his
shoulders. When fond mother has to
cut her boys hair, she is careful to avoid
any annoyance and mess by laying a
sheet on the carpet. 1t has never yet oc-
Cured to her to set him on the floor, and
put the sheet around his neck. Then she
draws the front hair over his eyes, and
leaves it there, while she cuts that which
is at the back. The hair which lies over
his eyes appears to be on fire. She has
unconsciously continued to push his head
forward until his nose presses his breast,
and is too busy to notice the snuffling
sound that is becoming alarmingly fire.
quent. In the meantime he is seized
with an irresistible desire to blow his
nose, but recollects that his handkerchief
is i'm the other room. There is fly lights
on his nose, and does 1t 80 Unexpectedly
that he involuntarily lodges, and catches
the points of the shears in his left ear.
At this he commences to cry and wish
he was man. But his mother doesn't
notice him. She merely hits him on the
the other ear to inspire him with conf.
dence. When she is through, she holds
his jacket-collar back from his neck, and
with her mouth blows the short bits from
the top of his head down his back. He
calls her attention to this fact, but she
looks for new place on his head, and
hits him there. Then he takes his aw-
ully-disfgured head 10 the mirror and
looks at it, and, young as he is, shoulders
as he thinks of what the boys in the street
will say.

WE MET.

Twas In q restaurant we met
still recall the glance she gave,
And how enthralled was, as il
That glance had made yly soul her slave.
How quick shesturned and deeply blushed,
As II she would avoid my eye;
And hung her head and went to work
Upon plate Of chicken pie.
How more and more confused she grew,
1t was my duty sad to note,
Until, with such dispatch she ate,
A chicken-bone stuck in her throat.
How, then, she started, chok'd and gagged,
never, never, can forget,
And dropped her teeth-I think they were
At least a fifty dollar set
So paled my hopes, as pales the light
That Fancy lends her fairy scenes
She grabbed her ivories up and lied,
And resumed my pork and beans.
