A recent article in the WAroHMAN Oh
sighting ironing. induces me TO add few
words on the same subject, hoping we may
hear more from practical housekeepers ON
housekeeping subjects. When commenced
housekeeping, | thought everything must be
ironed on both sides Then, as care aud
work increased, and ! was determined 10 do
without help, | found it easier to leave the
backs of common garments TO do without
ironing. Now, have way call hot
weather ironing, which | learned at an es-
tablishment where a hundred persons had
more or less of it TO be done every week. !
cannot endure the heat of an ironing fire,
in hot weather; Fold the sheets, table-coths
and towels, long and narrow, and all articles
having no plaits or gathers. the same Place
the corners evenly, and pull out the edges, if
rolled in. Have them damp, as for ordinary
ironing, and turn down the screws in the
clothes-wringer, pretty tight, if it is adjust
able Then fasten lton the side of tub, or
the back of a stout chair and with the chill
dren or the men-folks TO turn it during a
few spare minutes, run the clothes through,
as for wringing. Keep the ends square, and
corners even, and when hung on the bars to
air. there will be no wrinkles. in fronts or
backs either.
Stockings, flannels aud many articles Of
underwear, can be made smooth enough for
daily use in the same way, and it not only
saves time but the muscles of the back and
arms, and a heating fire in hot weather.
After ironing comes mending, but | am
by no means in favor Of sighting that. II
an article is worth mending at all, it is worth
doing we'll Boys clothes may be patched
in such a way that no decent boy will wear
them willingly, OF it may be done in a neat
and workman-ike manner. If the knees are
getting thin, put on patches as near the
color of the garment as possible, and on
both knees at the same time, taking pains to
have them of the same shape aud size. Sew
firmly, and press thoroughly If the back
side must be mended, don't cut out two round
pieces, suggestive of eyes, but cut out
square, evenly-shaped piece, sew it on care
fully, and it will soon get pressed, and no
boy or man will be ashamed of your work
If little girls print dresses get torn, aud
need piece set in, scald piece Of the ma;
terial in hot suds, to take out the new look
and it may be set in without being noticed
Old garments, If clean and well mended, are
plenty good enough for work or play, and "a
penny saved is as good as a penny earned"

There is an old story that viii bear fre-
quent reviewing. In one of the mission
congregations, in Jamaica, collection was
to be taken for missionary purposes. One
of the brethren was appointed 10 preside,
and resolutions were adopted az follows
First-Res0ired, That we will oR give.
Resoice1, That We win give as
he Lori has propered us.
Third Resolred, That we will give cheer
J0lg
Good rules, that might each be clinched
with Scripture text Then the contrihu-
ton began, each person, according to custom,
walking mp to the communion table 10 de
posit his gift under the eye Of the presiding
officer
One of the most wel-to-do members hung
back until he was painfully noticeable; and
when he at last deposited bis gift, the
brother at the table remarked, Dat is cor
din to de fust resolution, but not 'cordin to
de second" The member retired angrily to
his seat, taking back his money, but con-
science or pride kept working till he came
back and doubled bis contribution with
grabbed, " Take dat, dem" The brother at
the table again spoke Dat may be 'cordin'
to he fust and second resolutions but it isn't
'cordin' TO de third" The giver, after a lit
tie, accepted the rebuke and came upa third
time with a still larger gift and goodna-
tured face Then the faithful president ex-
pressed his qualification thus Oats cor
din 10 all de resolushuns."
Are our gifts according 10 all the resou-
tions 1t is one Of the great benefits Of
systematic giving, that when we give We
give cheerfully The money once conse-
Grated to the lord, is dispensed 10 each sew
eral charity without grudging. The person
who shows US a good place TO invest the
Lords money, is regarded a. doing us a IA
vor and is not avoided as a beggar,
Systematic giving also affords conscience
a fair chance to say whether we are giving
as the Lord has prospered us we know how
much we give. Proper system in the
churches will go far to secure the object Of
the first resolution: We viii all give

A Gentleman.

When you have found man, you have
not far TO go to find gentleman. You can
not make gold ring out of brass You can
not change a Cape May crystal TO dia-
mond. You cannot make a gentleman till
you first find man.
To be a gentleman is not sufficient to have
had a grandfather. To be gentleman does
not depend on the tailor or the toilet. Blood
will degenerate. Good clothes are not good
habits.
gentleman is Just a gentleman; no
mare, no less diamond polished that was
first diamond in the rough. A gentleman
is gentle. A gentleman is modest. A gen
tleman is courteous. A gentleman is slow
10 take offence, as being one who never gives
IL. A gentleman is slow 10 surmise evil, as
being one who never thinks it. A gentle
man subjects his appettes. A gentleman
refnes his taste. A gentleman snbdues his
feelings. A gentleman controls his speech. A
gentleman deems others better than himself
Sir Philip Sydney was never so much of a
gentleman mirror though he was Of Eng
lish knighthood-as when, upon the field Oi
Zutphen, as he lay in his own blood, he
waived the draught of cool spring water,
that was 10 quench his mortal thirst, in ia.

st. Paul describes a gentleman when he
exhorted the Philippian Christians What
soeyer things are true, whatsoever things are
pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatso-
ever things are Of good report, if there be
any virtue, and il there be any praise, think
Of these things" Aud DIR. Isaac Barlow in
his admirable sermon on the callings Of a
gentleman, pointedly says; 4" lie should labor
and study to be leader unto virtue, and a

CLEAvING TO CnRIsT.-Says Amot: al
have seen a heavy piece of iron hanging on
to another, not welded, not linked, not glued
to the spot, and yet it adhered with such
tenacity as to bear not only its weight, but
mine too, if choose to seize il and hang
upon it, A wire charged with an electric
current is in contact with the mass, and
hence its adhesion. Cut that wire through
or remove it by hairs breadth, and the
piece of iron drops dead to the ground, like
any other unsupported weight A stream Of
life from the Lord, brought into contact
with human spirit, keeps the spirit cleav-
ing to the Lord so firmly, that no power on
earth or he'll can wrench the two asunder.
From Christ the mysterious life stream flows,
through the being of disciple it spreads,
and 10 the Lord returns again. In that circle
the feebest Christian is held safely, but if
the circle be broken, the dependant spirit
instantly drops off"
