81 Want the Heather to Have Them,

The spirit aud aim OF those who are send
ing the Bible TO the heather is beautifully
illustrated by an incident narrated of little
Miller Hssel, Of New York, a dear child Of
seven years Of age, whose early death oc.
CURED a few months since. He belonged to
a " Sunbeam Circle" company of little
children who gathered up in mission
boxes such gifts as they could, and who in
this way during the last year raised sixty
five dollars for the foreign field
Often during the week that Miller was 50
i'll did he ask 10 have his d" box opened,
that he might see how much he had for the
"poor heather children" Once, in opening
it, his mothers attention was attracted by a
little piece OF newspaper among the pennies.
Why, Miller, what is this 2" she said,
"you don't want this in" "Oh. yes." he
said, in his quick, bright way. ayes do,
mamma, why they are beautiful, beautiful
verses about God. do want the heaihen to
have them, too they are beautiful. know
they will like them And so the precious
little paper was put back to be sent with his
other treasures 20 the Lord. .
lie admired the verses and wanted the
heather 10 have them, too. This was genuine
henevolence, and it illustrates the nature of
true love which seeks to give to the heather
that gospel which is to us as the pearl of
great price.-Bb'e Society Record.

An Earnest Life.

Earnestness does not always move with a
clatter. There are other things in this world
which are quite as pleasant and edifying as
the rub-a-dub-dub of snare drum. In fact
this kind of melody is not generally the
highest style of music. Have you never
known a man bustling aud ofiicious, and
clamorous and loud, but who did not weigh
heavy after ala thing very well under
stood by every one except Just the man who
might have profited by that piece of infor-
nation And have You never known a man,
quiet and unostentatious and faithful, and
who was aperpetual blessing, golden man,
deep-souled and true, whose memory fingered
long after he was gone, like light upon the
hills after gorgeous sunset
The shallow stream rattles along its course
but when it is met and drowned by the ma
jestic tides rolling in from the seas there is
silence on the hills. In the great tide there
is the power of more than hundred rivu-
lets, yet its coming is almost as quiet as the
celestial forces that bring it. The tide flows
down, and shallow grows the stream, aud
again the empty clattering goes ON. And
this is what we wish to say that things
most potent, although demonstrative, as in-
deed they must be from their effects, are not
necessarily noisy. A strong and earnest life
need not make what people are in the habit
of calling a fuss" II is better to be known
by the lead that strikes, than by the bang of
the gun that sends it.--Seiecfed.

Keeping House on a Small Salary.

which may have for many of our readers an
interest both timely and practical

Wore Earnestness.

We have plenty Of stale, insipid, lethar-
gic, half-and-half religious life. The church
needs more caloric The stove must have a
dauper open and the CRATE shaken. and the

Suppose You had been sick for years aud

us, but il has always failed. Here is a di-
vine prescription. Take it and live. Re

TEUE MRN WANTEp.-The world does
need true men. IL needs them everywhere,
and never more than to-day. II needs men
in the pulpit who prefer substance to show.
II needs men at the bar, on the bench, and
in the Legislative halls, who can say, without
bravado, what revolutionary hero, tempted
by British gold is reported to have said
:" / am poor, very poor but poor as | am, the
King of Great Britain is not rich enough to
buy me-" And surely We want honest, ca
pable, and Christian men in every sphere.
We want them as physicians. We wantthem
in our business circles, We want them to
study the social problems of the time, as
laymen can, and mould public sentiment in
the right shape, without the prejudice that
the pulpit incurs in the attempt. 1t is in
deed a great matter that a man discover the
post where he can be most useful, but it is
by no means less essential that he cherish
IN his soul the resolve 10 be useful, faithful,
conscientious, and true, wherever his lot Is
cast.-Selecfed

How To EAT AN APPLE.-There is no
fruit more serviceable to the people than ap-
pies. They contain sugar, gum. much malic
acid and some valuable mineral matter. II
is true that apples often produce Indigestion
and flatulence, but generally the cause is the
manner in which they are eaten. Apples
contain great quantity Of fixed air, and if
eaten hastily the air passes into the stomach
becomes heated, expands and causes hatu-
lenee in persons with weak digestion. Such
persons should choose fresh, mildly tart
apple, then scrape it TO a fine pulp, and
thoroughly mix with saliva before swallow
ing II il is too troublesome TO scrape the
apple, then IL should be chewed till every
cell is broken down and the air is liberated.
Physiologically the apple acts as a stomachic
by prompting digestion, and when taken in
the morning ii becomes a laxative. Its ac-
tion on the liver is favorable 10 the health of
this organ. II also corrects the evils of too
much and too highly concentrated food
