TRUE WORD FOR MRS. GRANT.

From the Philadelphia Times, (Dem.)
The public viii not take kindly to re-
Elections or innuendoes against Mrs.
President Grant She may have accept
ed a watch from Gen. Ingalls,, and if so,
committed what proves to be an indis-
cretion, as it is judged by the light of
present events; but in all the flood of
debauehery that has been surging about
the administration, Mrs. Grant has
borne herself with true womaniy dignity
and propriety. Considering the shoddy
social surroundings of power, and the
reign of greed that has made the highest
authority the plaything of its purpose,
the rare prudence and entirely blameless
demeanor of Mrs. Grant is just cause for
the sincere eongratulation of the coun-
try. 1t is evident that neither General
Ingalls, nor any other person has ever
implicated the wife of the President 10
any interference to advance speculative
or political interests, and it is most un-
just to assume that an intended or actual
present to her by an old comrade in arms
of her husband, was either given or re-
eeived with any corrupt purpose. For
seven years Mrs Grant has been the
mistress of the White House, and her
name has uniformly and justly escaped
the scandals which have spared SO few
in their sweep. She has been model
of a modest, sensible woman for the We
men of her country, and commands the
universal respect of the nation.

LOVE OF THE WORD OF GOD.

There never was truly converted
person in the world that did not love
the written word of God. Every living
thing that God has created requires food.
And the divine life that God imparts to
the soul needs sustaining. When the
Holy Ghost raises man from the death
of sin and makes him a new creature in
Christ Jesus, it is the written word
that constitutes the proper food for that
soul. When see professor of religion
who slightly esteems Bible-reading or
Bible preaching, 1 am persuaded that he
is not yet converted, or that the new
life is sickly and nigh unto death. A
man may be a jealous ecclesiastic, a
great stickler for forms and ceremonies,
may be dilligent in attendance upon the
sacraments, but if these are more pre-
cious to him than the Bible, he is still
walking in darkness. Love of the word
has been a prominent feature in the his
tory of all the saints, of whom We know
anything, since the days of the Apostles.
Job could say, 81 have esteemed the
words of his mouth more than my neces-
sary food" And David, so. how love
thy Law" Let us study the Bible till
it makes us wise unto salvation.

/ WILL FEAR NO EVIL.

Alasl how many evils do zoe fear?
What would we give, what would we
not give, could we honestly adopt
David's words? We know that fear is
base, that it disarms and paralyzes us
just when we most need to quit us like
men, to show ourselves strong and brave
And yet, though it be SO base motive,
is there any motive by which we aIe
more constantly animated and betrayed2
To what absorbing and degrading cares
and tolls do men devote themselves be-
cause they fear want! OF what shame
full sins are they guilty because they fear
pain! What torments do they suffer
because they fear death! And how often
do they sink into want by the very
crimes to which their fear of want has
impelled them! How often do they fall
into keener and more insufferable pangs
through the very sins which the fear of
pain has prompted! How often do they
go all their lifetime in bondage to the
fear of that death which brings them an
immortal freedom and blessednessl
1t is only too probable that most of
us have suffered far more from fear of
i'll than from all the ills that have be-
fallen us. As we review the past we can
see that not title of the calamities we
apprehended have come upon us; that
our lives might have been calm and
happy but for these fretful and fore
boding hearts of ours, had we put our
trust in God and been content to wait
on him from day to day, Nevertheless,
though we see how groundless most of
our fears have been, and what needless
torments we have inflicted on ourselves,
how many of us, untaught by the past,
are at this very moment looking forward
with apprehepsive eyes, and peopling
with grim threatening shadows future
which, bat for these unsubstantial fore
bodings, might be fair and brightl-Rec.

PENMANSHIP.

Bad handwriting is great bore to the
various unfortunate people who have to
read it, but where it deals with a subject
of which-as it usually happens-the
person addressed has some knowledge a
little patience generally surmounts the
difficulty, unless, indeed, the writing he
of that supremely bad character which
caused Sidney Smith to write to his
friend Jeffrey: II have read your letter
from left to right, and Mrs. Smith from
right to left, but neither of US can make
one word of it." The exasperating feat
ure, par excellence of bad writing, lies in
tHegibLe signatures, and strange to say,
signatures are more badly written than
any other portion of a letter. We imag-
Inc that a ridiculous sort of vanity, viz:
the idea of having "a characteristic sig
nature" must underIie this exceeding
great folly and stupidity. A signature
ought, of course, to be the very clearest
part of letter, hrt it often happens
that person receiving letter from a
total stranger has the utmost difficulty
in getting the correct name of his CORES
pondent out OF an obscure conglomera-
ton of twirls and dashes. A frequent
result is that the postmen are driven half
frantic in a vain effort to find out the
man with what the writer wrongly con-
lectures is the name appended to the let
ter he answers, and thus very often the
return letter never arrives.

sPosT-MoRTEM LOVE-"

If you're ever going to love me,
Love me nov while | can know
All the sweet and tender feelings
Which from real affection flow
Love me now while / am living
Do not wait till | am gone,
And then chisel it in marble
Warm love-words on ice-cold stone.
If you've dear, sweet thoughts about me,
Why not whisper them to me?
Don't you know 'twould make me happy
As glad as glad can be.
If you wait till am sleeping
Ne'er TO waken here again,
There'll be walls of earth between us,
And l could't hear you then.
If you knew some one was thirsting
For drop of water sweet.
Would you be so slow to bring it?
Would you step with laggard feet?
There are tender hearts all round us,
Who are thirsting for our love;
Shall we begrudge to them what Heaven
Has kindly sent US from above:
/ won't need your Kind caresses
When the grass grows DER my face:
/ won't crave your love or kisses
In my last, low resting-place;
So, if you do love me any,
If it's but little bit,
I'd rather know it now, while
Can, living, own and treasure it.

GLEANINGS.

No one can truly help another with
out helping himself. The reflex action
of doing good brings good to the actor.
Value the friendship of him who stands
by you in storm. Swarms of insects will
surround you in sunshine.
We should learn not to interpret duty
by success. The opposition which as
sails US in the course of obedience is no
evidence that we are emistaken.-Neao-

The SCENE WHEN LINCOLN Was
SHor.-Walt Whitman, in his forth
coming book, describes the scene in the
theater at Washington after Lincoln was
shot: "A moments hush. incredulous-
a scream-the cry of murder-Mrs. Lin
coin leaning out of the box, with ashy
cheeks and lips, with an involuntary cry,
pointing to the retreating figure: He
has killed the President And still
moments strange, incredulous suspense
and then the deluge.-then that mix
ture of horror, noises, uncertainty-[the
sound, somewhere back, of horses
hoofs clattering with speed the people
burst through chairs and railings, and
break them up-that noise adds to the
queerness of the scene-there is inextri-
cable confusion and dterror-women faint.
quite feeble persons fall and are tramp
led on-vmany others try to Chamber up
ETC., e'c., etc. And in the midst of that
night pandemonium of senseless hate,
infuriated soldiers, the audience, and
the crowd the stage, and all its actors
and actresses, its paint pots, spangles,
and gaslight-the life blood from those
veins, the best and sweetest of the land,
drips slowly down, and deaths oose al
ready begins its little bubbles on the
lips"

HOWEVER false or unhealthy religious
feeling may sometimes be, the great
truth still remains behind, that feeling
is the secret of doing. The heart must
be engaged for Christ or the hands will
soon hang down. The affections must
be enlisted into his service, or our obe-
dience will soon stand still. 1t will al.
ways be the loving workman who will
do most in the Lords vineyard. .-Ryle.

GATHERING HOME.

Gathering one by one;
Their brOws are enclosed in golden crowns,
Their travel-stained robes are all laid down,
Gathering hOmeward from every land,

Gathering one by one;
Others are going for evermore,
Gathering one by one;
Our sisters so gentle, our brothers so brave,
The beautiful children DER the wave.
Gathering homeward from every land,
Gathe-ing one by one.
We, too, shall come to the riverside
Gathering one by one;
Nearer It's waters each eventide,
Gathering one by enc;

The waves of that river are dark and cold;
Gathering homeward from every land,
Gathering one by one.

Then boldly we'll come to Jordan's side,
And fearlessly breast its swelling tide,
Gathering homeward from every land,
Gathering one by one.

Do we really want the non-church
goers in our Churches2 If we a0ant
them the desire will effect revolution
among us. 1t will overturn our church
architecture; it will put an end to our

it will take pew doors off their hinges,
and it will drive out the notion that
carpets are worth more than souls

an ounce is wasted. Digestion requires

work done by their pupils. Needlework
from knitting and samplers to the
most exquisite point lace to be worn by
Princess Margarita, the patroness of the

specimens of writing as suah, and of
composition. All were most creditable
to pupils and teachers.

HOW TO GAIN ATTENTION,

By giving information in a manner
which the scholar will count it worth his
hearing.
Interest the scholar in a subject and he
will cheerfully give attention.
BY telling the child something which
pays him for giving attention.
Awaken the scholars sympathy with
the subject and he will give earnest at
tention.
Excite curiosity in the mind and cheer
full, earnest attention follows.
Curiosity in children is but an appe-
tite after knowledge. doubt not but
one great reason why many children
abandon themselves wholly to silly sports
and trife away all their time insipidly,
is because they found their curiosity
banked, and their inquiries neglected.
Locke.
Bring distinctly before your own mind
the well known fact, that children de-
light as much in exercising their minds
as their limbs, provided only that which
is presented to them be suited to their
capacities, and adapted to their strength.
-Du'an's Principle Of Teaching.
Under some circumstances, children
are capable of vigorous and long sus-
tanned attention. Nor can we find a
better illustration of mental absorption
than the schoolboy engaged in a match
of cricket or football-W. II. Grocer.
<s%
ITmay appear tritiing to criticise meth
DDS of adding and subtraeting; but we
have weekly evidence that addition and
subtraction are still spelled out under
the direction of the teacher, instead of
being read of, as they should be. "Three
and two are five; five and four are nine;
nine and eight are seventeen. Five
from four we can not, but five from
fourteen leaves nine" What a waste of
words and timel What a misdirection
of mental energy. No instruction is
more valuable to primary children than
drill in rapid addition, and when pupils
get facility therein there is no ability of
which they are more proud. Columns
of 2's, 3's, As and SIS placed on the board
for Second Reader pupils, and of 6's, rs
SIS and 9's for those in the Third Reader,
the sum limited to 80 in the first case
and 60 in the second, give pleasant and
profitable employment to the children.
By placing single different number at
the foot of the column the necessary
combinations are made and variety of
drill afforded.
