stopped, threw his ears forward, gave furi-
ous snort, and refused to go further. The
driver urged him to go, and finally struck
him with halter, the strap end Of which

dropping out aud becoming lost. The horse
jumped forward in a frightened manner, but
before he had taken three steps huge pan

Drinking parents beget imbecile or insane
children DIR. Howe, of Boston, tells us that
out of three hundred inmates of the asylum
there, he knew that one hundred and forty
seven had drunken parents. In addition TO
degrading the mental power of otherwise
perfectly sane persons, drinking develops
tendencies to insanity that already exist.
As there are grades in insanity, so there are
grades between perfect mental soundness aud
insanity. Every Que knows people who are

Alcoholic liquors readily affect such, and
numbers nf the inmates of our asylums are
people OF this class, who have had the totter-

anxiety, on account Of losses and caused by
intempermcc. In Great Britain and in

grand one. From the church door to the
sidewalk there was an awning, and the pave

man who married them wore a gown, and
read the service from a book. Then at the
house there was great display Of flowers
and presents, and the bride and groom, sur
rounded by their attendants, stood in state

wines and ices and wonderful confections
were served and after the guests had left.

How to be Miserable.

and then to You nothing will De pure. Nou
will spoil everything you touch YOU will
make sin and misery for yourself out OF ev-
elythiug which God sends You YOU will be
as wretched as You choose on earth or in
heaven either.
In heaven either, say, For that proud,
gresdy, selfish, self-seeking spirit would turn
heaven into he'll. 1t did turn heaven into
he'll for the great devil himself. 1t was by
pride. by seeking his own glory-so at
least, wise men say--that he fell from
heaven TO he'll. lie was not content to give
up his own will aud do Gods will, ike the
other angels, lie was not content to serve
God, and rejoice in Gods glory lie would
be a master himself, and set up for himself,
and rejoice in his own glory and so, when
he wanted to make a private heaven Of his
own, he found that he had made hell.
When he wanted little god for himself, he
lost the life of the true God, TO lose which is
eternal death, And Why Because his
heart was not pure, clean, honest simple, I'M
selfish Therefore he saw God no more, and
learned to hate Him whose name Is Love-

ForRroLD.-A little kailir girl, in South

brought him four sixpences, saying, This
money is yours" No. said the mission
ary, . it is not mine" " Yes" persisted the
little girl, "you must take it. At the ex-
animation Of the school you gave me six
pence as a prize for good writing but the
writing was not mine got some one else

She had read the story of Zaccheus, in the
nineteenth chapter of Luke, and went and
did likewise" How much better was this
than hiding her sin would have been
