LETTING Goa gentleman and his wife
were taking sea-bath, when receding
wave drew them from the shore and sud
denly plunged them into deep water. The
gentleman could swim, but his wife could
not, and she instinctively threw her arms
about her husbands neck, her struggles,
meanwhile, rendering it impossible for him
TO assist her or save himself. My dear,
said he, this will never do. In this way
we must both 60 down. Unclasp your hold,
and allow me to save you in my own way.
Trust me, and | will assuredly do So" In
a moment she was in his arms, helpless as
an infant, and he bore her to the shore, where
they knelt to thank God for such signal
deliverance from sudden death.

The EVENING OF LIFE.-When the sum
mer day OF youth is slowly wasting away
into the nightfall of age, as life wears TO its
close, it is pleasant to look upon the sorrows
and felicties Of our earlier years. II we
have home to shelter aud hearts TO rejoice
with us, and friends have been gathered to-
gether around our fresides, then the rough
places of our wayfaring will have been worn
and smoothed away in the twilight of life,
while the sunny spots we have passed through
will grow brighter and more beautiful
Happy indeed are they whose intercourse
with the world has not changed the tone oil
their feelings or broken the musical chords OF
the heart, whose vibrations are so melodious
so tender and touching in the evening Of
Knickerkocker.

Sin is TO be overcome, not so much by
maintaining direct opposition to it, as by
cultvating opposite principles. Would you
kill the weeds in your garden, plant it with
good seed il the ground be well occupied,
there will be less need of the labor of the
hoe. If man wishes to quench FIRE, he
might fight it with his hands till he was
burned to death the only way is to apply
an opposite element.

TIE NEED OF CHRISTIAN lIoMEs.-You
return from the out-of-door vexations, for
peace, to your home. But remember that
even home, where virtue generally makes its
last retreat, is no safer than the exchange or
the street, Marriage loses its sacredness, and
along with its sanetity, loses its joy. Do
nestle life is tossed into troubled, angry
strife. License and self-will, pagan deities,
stalk out of their old Pantheon, and become
the household gods Of degenerate and
heathenized Christendom. Men look al
women through a mist of passion, and women
look at men as rival claimants for privilege
and power.

FRETrISG.-One fretter can destroy the
peace of family can disturb the harmony
OF neighborhood, can unsettle the councils
of cities, and hinder in legislation of ma
tions. He who frets is never the one who
mends, who heals, who repairs evils more,
he discourages, enfeebles, and, too often dis
ables those around him, who, but for the
gloom aud depression of his company, would
do good work and keep up brave cheer. The
effect upon sensitive person of the mere
neighborhood of fretter is indescribable.
1t is to the soul what a cold, icy mist is to
the body-more chilling than the bitterest
storm And when the fretter is one who is
beloved, whose nearness of relation TO us
makes his fretting seem almost like per
sonal reproach, then the misery of it becomes
indeed insupportable. Many men call fret
ting minor fault, foible and not a vice.
There is no vice except Drunkenness which
can so utterly destroy the peace aud happi-
ness of home.

WHAT SHALL WE EAT AN unhappy
individual has discovered there is nothing in
the food or drink line actually healthful. lie
says potatoes produce fiatulency, water dis
tends the bowels, fruit relaxes them, bread
sours the stomach, cake destroys its tone,
rice depletes the blood, fish shrinks the mus.
cles, fresh meat produces biliousness, and
salt meat skin diseases. And so you can go
through the entire list without finding, ac-
cordng to the medical authorities, single
article but what is in some degree hurtful.
II is dreadful to think of and yet, somehow
or other, there are great many people man
age to exist seventy years or more, and the
average longevity of the human race Is IN
creasing in all civilized countries.

DUTIES OF MorHER.--She should be
firm, gentle, kind, always ready to attend TO
her child. She should never laugh at him
at what he does that is cunning-neyer al
low him to think Of his looks, except TO be
neat and clean in all his habits. She should
teach him 10 obey look-to respect those
older than himself she should never make a
command without seeing that it is per
formed in the right manner Never speak
Of the child's faults or foibles, or repeat his
remarks before him. 1t is a sure way to
spoil child. Never reproye a child when
excited, nor let your tone Of voice be raised
when correcting. Strive TO inspire love not
dread-respect, not fear. Remember you
are training and educating a soul for eter-
nifty. Teach your children TO wait upon
themselves, to put away thing when done

cans. We want piety that shall not be
ashamed to take vice by the hand, and lead
it up to its own level. We want honesty iu-
spired by something more than the fear of the
Jail. We want virtue, strong, tender and
self-poised enough to send hypocritical cru
city away when it draws its hateful circle
around the weak and the wicked, and TO
stand up and say through the length and
breadth of the land, D." There is hope for the
thief and the wanton in Jesus We have
have had enough Of words they have CON
tributed more to the fighting than they have
to the piety of the world. We want new la

affection for God and man. d" lie who tax
eth not his cross and followeth after me is
not worthy of me"-IV. H. II. Murray.

Con Knows Nh, ANYHOW Frank had
beautiful long hair hanging over his shoul-
ders, and his parents We're very proud of his
appearance One day he got his mothers
scissors, went to a looking-glass and cut off
all his fair locks. His father and mother
were much displeased with him for so doing,
and resolved to punish him in this way
When they were at the dinner-table, his
father, pointing to him, said to his mother,
" What little boy is that ?" " I'm your lit
tie Frankly, papa" he at once said, not Civ
ing his mother time to reply. Nonsense"
was the fathers answer, my little Frankly
has beautiful hair. would not give my
Frankly for a dozen boys such as you"
Frankly now turned TO his neither and said
" Amt your little Franky 2" but mamma
only shook her head. Matters were how
looking serious, and Frankly, becoming
alarmed, could not make any progress with
his dinner. He now appealed to his brother,
and asked if he were not little Frankly but
his brother only shook his head. He was
becoming so unhappy at the thought that
father mother and brother no longer reeog-
nized him, and at last he burst into tears,
saying as he did so, God knows me, any
how" Tears were now in other eyes as
well as Frankys. Those who are near and
dear TO us may no longer own us, but ii we
are His children, God knows u.s."

PEr BIRDS" No one" says writer on
bookkeeping, "who has not a kind heart,
thoughtful head, observant eyes, and gentle
hand, has the least right to keep birds. One
should weigh the matter OF keeping a bird
as ii il were the question Of adopting an
orphan" If careless person neglect a cat
or dog, it win make its wants known, and,
the worst coming TO the worst, 60 out on
foraging expeditions, and appropriate what
ever il finds 10 its own use But the poor
neglected bird has no voice TO tell its hunger !
all its notes are called singing" II cannot
escape from prison TO borrow, beg or steal
seeds from its neighbors, and can only beat
its little wings against the bars. Therefore
those who enjoy keeping birds should make
their care matter OF conscience.

The CmLDREN's HoUR.-No home with
young children in it should be without its
" children's hour" The hour after supper
cannot be used TO better advantage even by
father and mother, than to give itup to get
ting acquainted with the children" Play

zest it gives to their merriment If "papa

larks if all are children together Or if
stories or quieter games are desired how
happy and profitable may be the hour spent
around the table And then what famous
time for the little neutrality-suspicious. to ask
questions, knowing that they will not be
put off by preoccupation or the plea Of a
lack of time. The children will grow away
from parents wonderfully fast if there are
none of these sympathetic bonds to hold
them together. II you cannot spare more
time, mothers, take off little part of the
hour and reserve it to accompany your little
ones to bed. Little five-years-old Golden
Hair and eight-years-eld Charlie will get a
composure and happiness which shall launch
them into sweet sleep, from a chapter or a
story read to them after they are snugly
put away in their little cribs. Scarcely any
thing will extenuate sending children TO bed
grieved, or unhappy, or angry. Patience Is
hard childish freaks and outbreaks, and
even the exuberance of the blessed healthful
spirits are trying; but GOODNESS and petu-
lance and selfishness and unhappiness are
worse Have you a" children's hour in your
daily home calendar If not, suppose you
try the experiment Of setting one apart
