Doing GOOD.

Every human being has a mission to
perform. Every man has a part to act
in the worlds great drama-one of the
most unspeakable importance. But how
few are there who come fully up to its
standard, and endeavor by divine as
sistancs to fulfil it. Man was created
for a noble purpose, endowed with an
immortal mind, and is capable of per-
forming a good work. Consider how
great may be the influence Of single
individual, either for good or evil. If
we have been influential in reforming
one, a being made in the image of God,
but sadly misled by the communicating
influence of vice, we have performed
good work
There are various ways in which
good may be accomplished, but when
good resolution is formed, the work is
too often begun with lack of conf
dence and perseverance, and impatient
to accomplish the undertaking, we des-
pair at the first difficulty. This should
uut DOy Dub Win HOI6 laltQ, IQe more
distant the day of reward, the harder
We should labor and not let our arms
become palsied because we do not meet
with immediate and large results of our
labors but in time or eternity we shall
receive the reward.
Much good may be done with the
pen, and how much good has been done
in this way, by which the influence of
many still live while they have long
since gone to their final resting-place
But we would not have you Vainly am
bilious to render your name immortal,
thinking to make speck in the world
by figuring in the papers, or assume the
importance of fly that imagined itself
turning the wheel upon which it was
only turning round. But whatever you
do let it be done to the glory of God,
and remember that He that conVerteth
the sinner from the error of his way,
shall save a soul from death and hide
multitude of sins

A Bad Fire.

"Jones, have you heard of the fire
that burned up that mans house and

"No, Smith, where was it ?"
"Here in the city"
"What misfortune. Was it a good
house ?"
"YeS, nice house and lot-a good

What pity ! How did the fire

"The man played with fire, and
thoughtlessly set it himself"
Chow silly! Did you say the lot
was burned, too 2"
"Yes, lot and all. All gone, slick
and clean"
"That's singular It must have been
terribly hot fre-and then don't see
how it could burn the let"
"No, it was not a large fire, nor a
very hot fire. Indeed it was SO small
that it attracted but little attention" "
'But how could such a little fire
burn up house and lot ? You haven't
told me-"
"It burned long time-more than
twenty years-and though it seemed to
consume very slowly, yet it wore away
about one hundred and fifty dollars
worth every year, until it was all gone.
81 can't understand you yet. Tell
me all about it,"
"Well, it was kindled in the end of

Married or Single.
BY A MAFRoN.

1t is very hard to tell whether mar
ried people are happier than single
ones, or whether single ones are most
blest With the gout in his big tee,
and no one to find fault with, bachelor
is apt to envy Benedict; while, during
the progress Of curtain lecture, Bens-
dict dspreciates the joys Of welded life.
1t is nice to come home with a latch
key when one pleases, and to travel the
wide world over, if one chooses, with a
false collar and comb by way of bag
gage but then it is also nice to have
an adorning creature always keeping
watch over ones incomings and outgo-
ings (we are speaking ofmen, of course)
and believing one to be-what he knows
he is not-a man of mighty intellect
and Herculean strength-in shert, the
authority Of the world.
1t is comfortable (here we speak of
the softer sex) to be able to keep ones
hair in crimping-pins all day, but yet it
is delightful to have some one who cares
how ones hair looks.
1t is net agreeable to be up all night
with baby suffering from a combina-
ton of collie and crossness ; but it is en-
raging to bear the airs Of people with
lovely infants in skirts two yards long,
when you haven't one yourself
Single people certainly have more
peace and quietness, but now and then
they find themselves rather too severely
let alone.
Married people rejoice in the joys of
companionship, but as there may be too
much of a good thing they, perhaps,
sometimes envy St. Simon Stylites, who
lived on the top of a pillar, and chad
his meals sent up to him" in a basket.
On the whole, l should say, if fpushed
closely for serious answer, that those
who have been married would have been
much happier if they had remained sin.
gle, and that those who live and die in
a state of single blessedness would have
been more blessed had they married.

Honesty.

Everybody says that everybody should
be honest; but everybody is not honest
either at home or abroad. That we
should be honest in our trade, weights
and measures, dealing with our neigh
bors and with our strangers is clearly
right. That a strong principal of in
tegrity should govern US, is just what
every man not only admits but believes
and contends for. There is no such
thing as being too honest. Honesty is
virtue better than gold, richer than
rubies, and more precious than gems
and costly trappings- 1t is a much
richer adornment for mankind or Wo-
manhood than wealth can purchase or
place secure. To be honest is to be
like child and an angel, and Christ
said Of little children ''of such is the
kingdom of heaven" But we wish to
write wOrd-a strong Word-in be-
half of honesty. There are many peo-
pie who are honest away from home.
They make home promises only to break
them. As husband they make thou
sand and one promises to their wives,
and hint thousand good things and
raise many pleasant expectations that
they never seem to think of again. As
wives they practice a thousand little
dscsits, equivocate many times, when
straightforward honesty was just the
thing required. As parents they con-
ceal, go around the truth, deceive and
often falsify to their children, when the
truth is always the better, always the
best. The children see their parents
double dealings, see their want Of in
tegrity and learn to cheat, deceive and
equivocate. The child is too often a
"chip of the old block"

Beautiful Figure.

Two painters were employed to fresco
the walls of magnificent cathedral /;
both stood on a rude scafolding con-
structed for the purpose, some eighty
feet from the floor. One Of them was
SO intent upon his work that be became
absorbed, and in admiration stood off
from the picture, gazing at it with de-
light Forgetting where he was, be
moved backward slowly, surveying crit
ically the work of his pencil, until he
had neared the end of the plank upon
which be stood. At this critical mo-
ment his companion turned suddenly,
and, almost frozen with horror, beheld
his imminent peril another instant and
the enthusiast would be precipitated
upon the pavement beneath if he spoke
to him it was certain death-if be held
his peace death was equally sure. Sud
denly he regained hisPresence of mind,
and seizing a wet brush, flung it against
the wall, spattering the beautiful pic
ture with unsightly blotchss Of color
ing. The painter few forward, and
turned upon his friend with fierce i'm
precautions; but, startled at his ghastly
face, he listened to the recital Of dan
ger, looked suddenly over the dread
space below, and with tears of gratitude
blessed the hand that saved him. So
we sometimes get absorbed in looking
upon the pictures of this world, and, in
contemplating them, step backward, un-
conscious of our peril, when the Al
mighty dashes out the beautiful images,
and we spring forward to lament their
destruetiOn-into the outstretChed arms
of mercy, and are saved.

HARD WoRK.-Meu who use their
muscles imagine that men who depend
upon their brains are strangers to hard
work. Never was there greater mis-
take. Every successful merchant does
more real hard work in the first ten
years Of his business career than a
farmer or blacksmith ever dreamed Of.
Make up your mind to work early and
late, if necessary, SO that you may thor
oughly master the details Of the business
upon which you purpose to enter. The
habit of persistent rapid work once
formed, you have gained a momentum
that will carry you very satisfactorily
through pinch in business where a
leCs persistent worker. would find it
vastly easier to lie down and fail.

UTY.-Pretty women are spoken
Of as if they, of all others, were the
elect; as if woman's sole claim to ad-
miration rested on her having fine eyes
or luxuriant hair. els she pretty 2" is
the first question asked concerning a
new acquaintance. as though that en-
braced the whole subject. If a man
likes a woman he generally considers
her "pretty." for the term is merely
conventional. A pretty woman, in the
private lexicon of masculinity, signifies
woman interesting from whatever
cause. Who has not known women to
be called pretty that could hardly boast
of a single handsome feature. Who
has not been acquainted with those en-
joying a vide reputation for prettiness
that had almost any other than a physi-
cal charm? She who has distinctly
graceful manner, or an elegant air, or
fine tact, or a talent for conversation, or
quick Bympathiss, or cordial ways, or
the art of listening well, albeit plain in
face and of ordinary figure, is frequent
ly styled pretty, and the adjective is
repeated until il is fastened upon and
constantly associated with her. Merely
pretty women do not rule socisty-nsver
did and never will. When beauty is
allied to pleasant manners, OF accom-
plishments, aet,quick wit, then indeed
it is all-powerful; otherwise . really
plain woman who has conspicuous
graceS Of mind and manner viii prove
more than match for her beautiful, in
