The "Preaching Rose"

The rectory of Ogie-bank was an
old gabled house, made up. so to
speak, of a number of little pieces,
all added en- some time or other.
What the original piece was which
made the rectory, it would have
puzzled any one except perhaps a
frst-class architect to tell. That
wonderful person, who is supposed
to know everything-the Oldest in
habitant-never remembered seein.
it without all its little odds and
ends of pieces, and what we might
call its outside furniture-all its
weathercocks above, and scrapers
below.
The living Of Ugie, bank brought
in but little to old DR.. Jacobs |;
but as he had a good fortune of his
own, he did not mind that-indeed.
he spent more on the people than
he got from them.
The worthy Doctor was unmar-
ried, and yet always called himself a
''family man." "You see" said the
little man, his merry eyes twinkling
under his broad, bald forehead, III
have all the parishioners, and all
the flowers, and the pigeons and
lambs. and half a dozen orphans, all
for children-and plenty, l can tell
you, it gives me to do to look after
my family"
But the Doctors great delight
was to act father, or rather grand
father, to set of romping children,
who came down to the Ugie-bauk
rectory every year.
As surely as the summer came,sO
surely came with it these topsy-tur.
Wy folk, who lost hats, tore frOcks,
split milk, pulled flowers, knocked
over the haycocks, spun about like
teetOtums, and were generally out
of their wits in a small kind of way.
Strange to say, Docter Jacobs
smiled benignantly through all these
terrible things; although his house
keeper Betty shook her head, and
prophesied that the whole batch of
youngsters would never come to
ANY good.
And now, on lovely June morn
ing, the whole troop had beset jim
the gardener to get some flowers.

"Nice you bet it is. Let me show

here on the step, and you all go
down there and come up when you

The girls retreated and gathered
in group about fifteen feet off,
while the boy got on his knees,
his head over the candy, aud began
to call and strut and flap his arms
like a ROSTERS wings.
Cluck, cluck, rat, rat, rap, cluck," !"
and all the girls came running up
and bent to pick up the candy, wheu
the little fellow opened his mouth
and took it in at one gulp.
"Oh, you mean boy" they cried,
''yOu have taken all our candy"
"That's cause l played rooster"
said the boy ; ''rOosters always call
the hens up when he finds a grain
Of corn. and then picks it up him.

the people; but when they prepare
designs so complicated rs to defy or.
dinary ingenuity, and requiring dou,
bic material, they do great mischief.
When the sewing-machine came in
it was hailed as a blessing, but like
many things good, it has been per.
verted into the service of mad fash.
ion. With the aid of the machine
more time-and time il money--is
consumed in making a dress than
before it was invented. Society is
tottering by reason of the exactions
Of the tyrant Fashion. The church
exchequer is low, missionary contri-
buttons are behind, and the demand
tor philanthropy is disregarded.
Sumptuous living and fine linen are
very apt to petrify the heart. Who
is responsible for all this inhumani.
ty ? We answer, not the world, but
the Church, into which this enemy
worse than the money-changer or
dOve-trader hath entered.

Tho NcstiimO S,V0ltosCs.

The summer day was spoiled with fitfu
dropped
With lulling murmer, and the air was warm
And all the tumult and the trouble stopped
We sat within the bright and quiet room,
Glowing with light and flowers and friendll'
ness;
And faces in the radiencc seemed to bloom,
Touched into beauty as by a carcss.
And one struck music from the ivory keys
Beethovcn's music and the awful chords
Upbolcs lis like the waves of mighty seas
That sing aloud, "All glory is the Lords! y
And the great sound awoke beneath the caves
The nesting swallows; and their twitter'
ing cry,
With the light touch of raindrOps on the
leaves
Broke into the grand, surging melody.
Acrost its deep. tremendous questioning,
Its sol, mn acquiescsnce, low and clear.
The ripping notes ran sweet, with airy ring,
surprised, eIqurius. but devoid OF fear;
Lnpsing to silence at the music's close,
A dreamy clamOr, "A contented STIR
at made no discord.' smiling as he rose,
Said the great masters great interpreter.
No discord truly Ever Nature wcaves
pain:
The asking thunder through high heaven
that clcaves.
10 lost in the low ripple of the rain.
About the edges OF he great abyss
The innocent blossoms laugh towards the
SUM-
Questions of life and death, of bale or bliss,
A thousand tender touches overrun.
Why should chronicle so slight thing
But such things light up life like wayside
flowers,
Aud memory like bird with folded wing.
Droods with still joy DER such delicious
hours.
Dear unfortunate time; fair summer night
Thy ncstling swallows and thy dropping
rain,
Thy golden music and the faces bright.
Will steal with constant sweetness back
again.
A Joy to keep when winter darkness comes
a living sense of beauty to recall;
A warm bright thought, when bitter cold be
numbs,
70 make me glad and grateful. That is all.

l. Il IT'S PLAY

Oh the blessed and wise little children,
What sensible things they say
When they can't have the things they wis
for
They take others and cry, "Let's play!"
"Let's play that the chairs are big coaches,
And the sofa railroad car,
Aud that we are all taking journeys
And travelling ever so far.
Lets play that this broken old china
Ia dinner set rare and fine,
And our tin cups filled with water
Are goblcts Of milk and wine!
Lets play every one of our dolies
Is alive and can 20 to walk,
Ard keep up long conversations
With us if we want to talk.
Lets play that we live in palace,
And that we are the queens and kings;
Let's play we are birds in q tree top,
And can fly about on wings.
Lets play that We are school keepers,
Aud grown people come to our school;
Ard then punish them all most soundly,
If they break but single rule
Oh! the blessed and wise little children,
What sensible things they say;
And we might be happy as they are,
If We would be happy their way.
What odds twixt not having and having,
When We have lived out our day
Let us borrow the chiluren's watchword-
The magical watchword, "Lets play"

A Curious Example of the
Use of Money.

Use of Money.
Ownership of a thing does not
depend on how long it remains
ones own. The fact is enough and
the owner can dispose of his right
rs he plesses, in minute or twenty
years. Bearing this in mind, and
also the other principle that debt
is paid when the creditor is satifed,
our youthful readers will find in the
following ter table incident, which
is given in On exchange, a lively
illustretion of the exceeding infu-
encs of money. An eyewitness re-
lates the occurrence.
One evening took tea with On
intimate friend of mine. While ue
were seated at the table, Ar. Ba
ker, my friends husband, while ab-
sently feeling in his vest pocket,
found a c5 note which he had no
recollection Of putting there.
"Hellow he exclaimed, "thst is
no place for you. Ishould have put
you in my poctet-book. HerA wife,
don't you want come ready money Z"
and he threw the note across the
table.
"Many thanks she replied :
''money is always acceptable, al
though l have no present need of
it," She folded the note and put it
under the edge of the tes-tray, and
then proceeded to pour out the tea
and attend to her guests.
At her right sat Mrs Faston, or
Aunt Susan, whom we all knew as
an old acquaintance, who from time
to time spent week with Mrs. Ba.
ker. Her visit wss just at Oh end,
and she was about to return home
that evening. As Mrs. Baker was
pouring out the tea it occurred to
her that she was somewhat in her
aunt'S debt for certain small mat
ters, and when she had the oppOr-
tunity she pushed the note under
her plate saying:
"Here, aunty, take this e5 in part
payment of my debt"
every WE'LL" sue replied, "but tho
money does not belong to me. l
owe you o15, my dear Grace, which
you leut me last Saturday. l had
to pay the taxes on my little house,
and had not the ready money at
hand, and Grace lent it me-" e1.
planned Aunt Susan. Grace, an
orphan, was cousin to Mrs. Baker.
She and her brother Frank boarded
with her, and made very pleasant
addition to the family circle. She
was studying music nd her brother
was in a mercantile establishment.
AS soon as Aunt Susan received
the note, she handed it to Grace,
saying, "I'll give you this on ac.
count, and the rest as soon as l get
it,"
"All right" answered Grace laugh
ing, "and since we all seem to be in
the humor for paying debts, l fol-
low suit. Frank l owe you some
thing for music you have bought for
me; here is part of it," and she
threw the bank note to her brother
who sat opposite.
We were all highly am used to Sc
how the note wondered around the
table.
"That is a wonderful note," said
Mr.. Baker. ~ only wish somebody
owed me something, so that l could
come into the ring"
"You can," said Frank, ~ owe
Mrs. Baker or you, it's all the same'
for my board. l herewith Fay you
part of it,"
Amid general laughter, Mr.. ba'
ker took the note and playfully
threw it again at his wife, saying
..It,s yours again, Lucy, because
what belongs to me belongs to you.
