Rules for Making Bouquets.

First-lhe color of the vase to be used is
OF Importance. Gaudy reds and blues should
never be chosen, for they conflict with the
delicate hues Of the flowers Bronze or
black vases, dark green, pure white, or sill
ver always produce good effect, and SO
does a straw basket white clear glass is per-
haps the prettiest of all. Second-The
shape of the vase is also to be thought Of.
For the middle Of a dinner-table, a round
bowl is always appropriate, or a tall vase
with a saucer-shaped base. Or, if the cen
ter of the table is otherwise occupied, a
large conch she'll or shellshaped dish, may
be swung from the chandelier above, and
with plenty Of vines and teatheriug green,
made to look very pretty. Delicate flowers,
such as lilies of the valley and sweet-pease,
should be placed by themselves in slender,
tapering glasses violets should nestle their
fragrant purple in some tiny cup, and pan
sizes be set in groups, with no gayer flowers
to contradict their soft velvet hues. Third
Stiffness and crowding are the two things
to be specially avoided in arranging flowers.
/ What can be uglier than the great, tasteless
| punches into which the ordinary florist ties
/ his wares, or what more extravagant A
skillful person will unite one of these and,
adding green leaves, make the same flowers
into hall dozen bouquets, each more effec-
tive than the original Flowers should be
grouped as they grow, with a crowd of light
foliage in and about them 10 set off theil
forms and colors. Fourth--lt is better, as
a general rule, not to put more than one on
two sorts Of flowers in the same vase.
great bush with roses and camelias and
carnations and feyer.few and geranium,
growing on it all at once would be fright
ful thing TO behold just so monstrou,
bouquet made up of all these flowers i,
meaningless and ugly Certain flowers, sucl
as heliotrope, mignonette and myrtle, mil
well with eyerything but usually it is bet
ter TO group flowers with their kind-rose
ia one glass, geraniums in another-.and NO
try TO make them agree in companies liftl
When you do mix flowers, be careful moi
to put colors which clash side by side
Scarlets aud pinks spoil each other so dc
blues and purples and yellows and mauves
II your vase or dish is a very large one, u
hold great number Of flowers, it is gooC
plan to divide it into thirds or quarters
making each division perfectly harmonious
within itself, and then blend the whole witt
lines of green and white, and soft neutra
tint, Every groupof mixed flowers requires
one little touch of yellow to make it vivid
but this must be skillfully applied IL i.
good practice to experiment with this effect
For instance, arrange a group OF maroon
scarlet and white geraniums with green
leaves, and add a single blossom of gold
colored calceolaria, you will see at once that
the whole bouquet seems TO flash out aud
become more brilliant. -- 81 Nicholas t0i

An Ohiector Answered.

81 don't like so much talk about religion"
said a rude stranger in city boarding
house TO a lady opposite, who had been
answering some questions with regard to
sermon to which she had been listening.
" don't likeit. IT, something that nobody
likes. It's opposed TO everything pleasant
in the world. IL ties man mp, hand and

isn't natural We have the best authority
for SAYING so. The natural man receiyeth

can he know them, for they are spiritually

the stranger began again

about religion are queer, anyhow wish

think about them nobody likes them, for
they are like nobody they are so very pecu-

with the manner in which your language

has got a dose for everybody. Yet, ma am,

The Downward Course.

A denier of the original taint Of sin once
stood before two pictures, which hung side
by side upon a wall. The first was the por-
trait of a boy with open brow, and curls
that looked golden in the sunshine and
cheeks whose damask beauty shamed the
ripened fruit, wearing that happy smile
which can be worn but once in life-a
smile whose ripping waves are poisoned by
no weeds of suspicion and break upon no
strand of doubt, looking gaily up from the
lowered earth into the azure heaven with
out the slightest misgiying. From the can
vass of the second picture there glared out
wolllsh eye, the home of all subtlety and
malice and in the gloom of the dim-lighted
cell you might perceive the matted hair and
garments stained with blood chains clank,
or seem 10 clank, upon his fettered limbs
All tell Of the desperate character OF the
man. On these two pictures, hanging side
by side the denier of original sin fixed his
gaze, until the exclamation burst out at
length in half-concealed triumph What /
DO you mean to say that these two beings
were originally and radically the same DO
you mean TO tell me that any amount of
evil teaching could develop that guieess
child into that debased and goddess man 2"
The artist volunteered the information that
the portraits were taken from the life Of the
selt-same individual at different stages of
his history. You know the moral of the
tale. There is an aocelerating progress in
an ungodly course, increasing with the mo-
mentum of an avalanche when the first
stages OF its course have run. The descent
into perdition is easy when the striyings of
the passions are seconded by the dictates of

The Holy Spirit.

The Ignorance of the Holy Spirit which
prevails may well be regarded as extraor-
dinary, because our Lord was so entirely
explicit in His communications, in His con
versation with His disciples, just before lie
left them. "lf ye love me, said lie, " keep
my commandments and | will pray the
Father and lie shall give you another Com
forter that lie may abide with you forever ;
even the Spirit OF TRUTH whom the world
can not receive, because it seeth Him not
neither knoweth Him; but We know Him.

Selling His Soul.

A preacher was once down in part of
England where the greatest ignorance pre-
vailed along with a belief in witchcrait
One morning he got up early and met la
horer going TO his work and, after a variety
of questions he asked him if he had ever
prayed TO God. The mau said not as he
knowed of he never troubled his head about
such things as them. You're just the man
| want, said the preacher and ultimately
got him TO promise that he never would
pray if he gave him half-acrown. The man
promised and tool, the money, and the
stranger vanished. When the man got 10
work he turned the thing over and over
again. and growing more aud more troubled
with dark suspicious about the stranger he
finally left his work. went home, and told
his wife. The good dame, who was very
superstitious, was more troubled than Hodge
himself, and amongst other significant ques-
tions, asked if he noticed the strangers
head and feet No." said Hodge +" he
had hat and boots on" "Ah said the
woman, 81 see it all now; You don't know
what they might cover. | shouldn't wonder
if it wasn't am sure it was. You've sold
yourself body and soul to the devil, John
| know you have That settled the matter,
and John was knocked over altogether and
he fell i'll both in body and mind. His wife
persuaded him to go and hear man who
was to preach in Mr.. Piper's barn, and who
might possibly do him some good. The
man preached from the words, "'What shall
it profit a man, if he gain the whole world
and lose his own soul - And when he
told his hearers that he knew a man who
sold his soul for half-a-crown, adding "souls
are evidently cheaper now than they were in
those days Hodge saw it all then, and
when the sermon was over, he went to the
man, and, with tears in his eyes, besought
him to take back the half-crown, and after
some ado the man consented, and then knelt
down and prayed with the penitent peasant
One can scarcely commend the preacher for
using this stratagem, but perhaps he saw
further down into that poor mans heart than
we can imagine who only read the story
