Money havern.

There is general tendency 10 speak
slig htingly Of those who save money, and
TO extOl those who do not. 1t is not easy
TO indicate The precise grounds upon which
this is done; but there appears 10 prevail
an impression TO the effect that one class
are mean. souled, sordid, and greedy,
Will G the other are full of generous impul-
ses. This impression, however, does not
see M TO he justified by the facts of the case.
In many cases, those who spend reck less
ly are 10y no means philanthropic. They
throw about their money, 1t is true, but
they do so more in Il spirit of bravado than
from charitable impulses. Their benevo-
lence is, 10 say the best that can be said Of
ii, decidedly erratic, and unfortunate in
deed is the being who is dependent upon
them. Because they scatter their gold
with an apparently lavish hand wherever
they go, and when the eyes of the world
are upon them, it does not follow that they
are doing anything more than giving way
to a particular form of self-indulgence.
They may treat their friends 10 costly en-
terta inmeDls, but there is little charity in
olyed in the proceeding when the enter
tainments are given at the expense of cred
itors who are being defrauded of their
rights. or course, it may be held that 1t is
a rather clever thing 10 diddle ones credit
ors in order that one may be generous to
ones. acquaintances but the man who
does this inva riably fails TO stand the wear
and tear oil time. The probability is that,
sooner or later, he attempts 10 diddle you

creditors and the chances are that you
discover ere long that his promises are not
to be relied upon, and that it is hopeless to
ez pect him 10 keep his engagements. Nor
is this all. II will be found that, notwith-
sta nding all his grand show, he is indiHer-
ent who suffers SO long as he is not forced
TO deny himself On the other hand, the
man who saves money will generally be
proved to be man of his word. Unlike
the spendthrift, who readily promises 10
do everything but actually performs next
to nothing, the money saver is slow TO
pro mise, but what he does engage to do he
is quick TO accomplish. This arises from
the fact that when he makes an engage
ment he carefully calculates how far he
will be able TO fulfil it. He does not say he
will pay you a certain amount in certain
time on the strength of vague hope that
something will "turn up' betwixt now and
then, but upon carefully thought-out and
reliable calculations. He realizes his obli-
cations SO keenly that he is occasionally
lei, perhaps, TO be unduly cautious. At
the same time, if you want man TO do a
real serviceable act of charity you must go
to him rather than to magnificent being
who holds money in contempt. 1t is not
surprising that he comes 10 The front in So
cial life, and that he is placed in positions
OF power and responsibility. Self-denial
and integrity can never go unrewarded,
their influence is so powerful and endur-
ing. People may sneer at what they term
mlserliness. But providence is not miser-
illness, and the man who saves money is
not necessarily a miser

boys hardships.
"What a nice lot" said Aunt Patty.
Davie stared. "Isn't there something
else. Don't you want pitcher of waterH P"
"George brought one"
So Dave sat on tue doorstep with his fa-
ther and told him all about the 'nagerie,
and 1t was quite dark when his aunt called
him 10 go TO bed.
Martha hurried around the next morn
ing, and found time to sew one block of
patchwork. And she was in such gay
humor all day that Miss Lewis asked her
if she was bewitched.

ed me this morning." was the reply.
1t really was quite wonderful what a
change came over the Parker household.
The children were not angels, and they of
ten forgot in the midst of their best iuten-
tons, but there was more generous all
lowance made for them, q good weight
thrown into the balance. For sometimes
the kindly impulse, the ready will, is as
much as the deed itself. And she found
that the generous measure reacted upon
herself The pleasant temper Of her earli-
er years came back.
one morning Aunt Patty found beauli-
ful handkerchief case lying over her plate

worked in green, and around the edge a
puff of green ribbon. And inside were
two pretty handkerchiefs and some neatly
hem med rufliing for neck and wrists. The
donors names were attached. George had
given the material, Martha had done the
work, and their father had purchased its
contents.
Aunt Patty was 20 surprised that at first
she could hardly speak, and her impulse
was TO call it piece of fOolishness; then
she bent over aud kissed the little girl.
"ob, Aunt Patty. I'm so glad you like it,

Don't Take It To Heart.
There's many trouble
Would break like bubble,
And into the waters Of Lethe depart,
Did not we rehearse 1t,
And tenderly nurse It,
And give IT permanent place in the heart.
There's many sorrow
Would vanish tomorrow,
Were we not willing to furnish the wings;
So sadly intruding
And quietly broodng,
II hAtches out all sorts Of horrible things
How welcome the seeming
OF looks that are beaming,
whether ones wealthy or whether ones poor;
Eyes bright as berry,
Cheeks red as 4 cherry,
The groan and the curse and the heartache cure
Resolved to be merry,
All worry to ferry
Across the famed waters that bid us forget,
And no longer fearful,
But happy and cheerful
We feel life has much that's worth living for yet.

THE RULING PAsslON.-A few months
since lady who is very well known in
the French fashionable world happened to
see in the streets of London a monkey beg
ging pence from the public in the prettlest
manner for the benefit of his master, an
organ-grinder. The marquise took fancy
TO il, bought il, dressed it in the gaudiest
Of raiment, and made it pet. The lady,
the other day, had in Paris fashionable
reception, and of course her pet was the
wonder of the room. In the course of the
evening young lady sat down at the pil-
no, and accompanying herself, sang with
exquisite taste drawing-room song. As
soon as the lady had finished, the monkey,
who, though now partially civilized, had
not forgotten his former duties, seeing
something near him that reminded him of
his former occupation, seized it and trans
ferred 1t into a temporary hat and COM
menced a collection. The vocalist laughed,
the marquse looked vexed; but to the
amusement Of everybody, the animal went
The rounds and collected a large sum. His
task ended, he jumped upon the knee of
the singer, amid shouts of laughter, and
deposited the contents OF his hat in the la
dy's lap. To collection was, of course, de-
voted 10 q charitable fund.

More than half Of the ten years allotted
by the revisers of the Bible to the compile.
tion of their work have already passed, but
much more than half the Bible remains TO
be revised. In the Old Testament the COM
mittees have examined the Pentateuch, and
are now at work ON the Psalms, and in the
New Testament progress has been made,
we believe, through the Gospels into Acts.
No doubt the work will be pursued more
rapidly as the revisers become accustomed
to it, and possibly, though not probably,
we may have the new version by the close
of the year 1880. The English committees
print their corrections in the first instance,
and then submit them for further note and
comment TO the American committees.
Whatever changes the latter suggest areex-
amined in England, and so far they have
been generally accepted. If on the final
decision any serious difference of views oc-
ours, the disputed points will probably be
submitted TO a committee of conference for
settlement; in such cases marginal notes
may be made explaining the different IN
terpretatlons. From time to time notices
make their appearance in print assuming TO
state what corrections have been agreed up
on up to this time, but as the revision in its
present stage is entirely confidential and
provisional, these statements are TO be re-
ceived with considerable allowance. For
instance, there Is no authority, as we are
Informed, for saying that the committees

The June number OF the Record Of The
Year, edited by Frank Moore, justitles its
claim to be the record OF every important
event OF any nature worth preserving, to-
gether with q careful selection of the
choicest current miscellany. 1t is, indeed,
an abstract and brief chronicle Of the times,
with a freshness which comes from its con-
temporary character and fullness which
is remarkable considering the variety of
the topics treated. Its pages are enlivened
by characteristic, historical and literary IL
lustralions, and 1t is entitled TO the praise
of being an annual register in monthly
parts, divested OF the heaviness of ordinary
publications of the kind. 1t is pIbllshed

AN EASY WAY OF BEING WITTY.-Ori-
entail travellers say that Chinese gentleman
thinks it beneath his dignity TO manufac-
ture his own witticisms. He appreciates
wit, and is fond of tea, but he would as
soon grow his own tea as make his own
jokes. When he goes into society he car
rles in his pocket a package of prepared
witticisms and repariees, which he has pur-
chased at the nearest joke-shop. When
conversation flags, and he perceiS es an Op-
portunity for saying something brilliant,
he draws a humorous remark from the top
of his package, and gravely hands it to his
neighbor. The latter as gravely reads it,
and, selecting FROM his bundle OF repartees
the one which is appropriate, returns it,
with a bow, TO the original joker. The
two then solelnnly smile in courteous
and undemonstrative way, and resume
their conversation, feeling that they have
acquitted themselves with conspicuous
brilliancy.

So We Grow Old.

SO We Grow Old.
Abroken toy; task that held away
A yearning child heart from an hour Of play;
A Christmas that no Christmas idols brought;
A tangled Lesson, full Of tangled thought;
homesick boy; a senior gowned and wise;
glimpse Of life, when 10 the curtains rise
Fold over fold,
And hangs the picture, like boundless sea
The world, all action and reality
So we grow old.
A wedding, and tender wife's caress;
prattlug babe the parents life to bless;
A home of Joys and cares in equal part;
A dreary watching with heavy heart;
And deAth'stlread angel knocking at the gate.
And hope and courage bidding sorrow wait
Or loose her hold;
A new-made grave, and then brave return
To where the fires Of life triumphant burn
So we grow old.
A fortune and generous need Of fame.
Or direful ruin and tArnished name;
A slipping of Of week and month and year,
Faster and faster as the close draws near;
A grief to-day, and with to-morrow's light
pleasure that transforms the sullen night
From lead to gold;
chilling winter OF unchAnging storm;
spring replete with dAwns and sunsets warm
80 we grow DID,
Old to ourselves, but children yet to be
In the strange cities Of eternity.

Caarrh in its extent and destructive force, stands
next to Consumption and is closely allied to 1t for in
certain constitutions the transition from one to the
other is only question Of time. 1t is therefore
singular thing that those afflicted with it should not
