Questionable PRAYERS.

happened once to be staying with gem
tleman-a long way from here-a very re-
ligious kind OF man he was, and in the
morning he began the day with a long fam
lily prayer, that we might be kept from sin
and might have a Christian spirit and the
mind that was also in Christ Jesus, and that
we might have the love of God shed abroad
in our hearts by the Holy Ghost given unto
us. A beautiful prayer it was, and
thought what good, kind man he must be.
But about an hour after happened to be
coming along the farm aud heard him hal
looing and soolding and going on, finding

The DAUGHTER AT HoME.-Do not think
that because there comes to you no great OPP
portunity of performing a wonderful work,
you will let the thousand little ones pass
you uuimproved. 1t is no small thing to be
the Joy of the domestic circle, the one whose
soft touch and whose gentle, fifty spoken
word avert disturbance and disagreement,
concliate the offended, and make alien ma
lures understand each other. 1t is no small
thing to possess the happy tact which makes
people pleased with themselves and which
insensibly urges people to appear at their
best. The young woman who is gifted with
this grace of touch, this swiftness of sym
pathy, and this beautiful unselfshness, may
not have fair face, nor trim figure, but
she will be endowed with dignity more
winning than either.-Mrs. NJ T.. Sangster
in Sunddy-SchoOl Times.

A FRUGAL WlFE.-It is astonishing to
see how well man may live on small in
come, who has handy and industrious wife.
Some men live and make far better ap-
pearance on six or eight dollars week than
others do on fifteen or eighteen dollars. The
man does his part we'll but his wife is good
for nothing. She will even upbraid her
husband for not living in as good style as her
neighbor, while the fault is entirely her own.
His neighbor has neat, capable. and ill.,
dustrous wife, and that makes the differ
ence. So look out, young men, before you
go into matrimony. 1t is a lottery in which
most men only buy one ticket, and if that
turns out blank your whole life had better
be blank too. Luckily, no one need &C
into the welded state with his eyes closed
as is the case with lotteries. and we judge
all who are sensible enough to use their eyes
may draw prizes.

The Training of Children.

Benjamin Hayden was painter, who,
with considerable talent, might have gained
fame and fortune by his profession but for
his self-will and obstinacy, which misled
his judgment, soured his temper, disap-
pointed his patrons, and turned his friends
into enemies. "Oh why did | not yield 2"
he bitterly cries on one occasion when he
had quarreled with his best friend, Sir
George Beaumont. "Why did not yield :?
1t was because my mind wanted the discip-
line of early training | trace all the mis-
fortunes of my life to this early and IRENE
diable want my will had not been curbed.
Perhaps mine is character in which all the
parts would have harmonized if my will had
been broken early" This was his bitter
lamentation; and he at last ended his un-
happy life by committing suicide. Richard
Cecil was not far wrong when he said that
"the most common of all human complaints
is parents groaning under the vices of their
children vices, too, which have grown up
under the very eyes of these parents, but
which they lacked irmness TO repress in
time Good laws, said Baxter, will not re-
form u.s. if reformation begin not at home
This is the cause of all our misdeeds in
church and state, even the want OF holy
education of children. No greater harm II
done to Chrstendom, writes Luther, than 10y
the neglect of children therefore, to ad
vance the cause of Christ, we must begiI
| with them.

Good Nature.

Men and women receive in this life much
of what they deserve. 1t is like a looking
glass, this big world grin and smile at it,
and it will smile back scowl, and it scowls
1t is but a confession of ones own unpleas-
antness at home if we air our grievances.
The nice people are not "nice" " without a
good deal of trouble on their part. That
pleasant fellow who always cheers his ac-
quaintances, and who carries an atmosphere
of good nature about him, is probably a hero
in his way, and most likely a good-natured
philosopher, who takes great deal of trouble
to be what he is. The amiable sister, who
never complains, has shown in little things
as much bravery as if she had won the Vic
toria cross. On the other hand, those young
persons who have always budget of miser-
les to pour into the sympathetic ears of their
friends, and who are totally-if they are to
he neutrality-suspicious. at home, will be
found, if looked into, not so amiable as they
might be. Mr.. Tom Pinch who never
thought of himself, found even the gross
ture; while Martin Chuzzewit, who took
care tr sit in the very front of the fire, and
liked to be read asleep by Tom, discovered
every one to be selfish. Depend upon it, il
we try to think more of others than we dc
of ourselves, we shall seldom have griev
ance. We may also rest assured that, if We
dwell upon our own sweet selves and oul
own merits, we shall doubtless believe those
merits to be so great that we shall lind the
world will always supply an immense anc
ever-increasing grievance by being blind tt

MOONLIGHT ON THE GRAVES.

II shlneth on the quiet graves
Where the weary ones have gone;
II watches with angelic gaze
Where the dead are left alone
And not round Of busy life
TO the still graveyard comes.
Hut peacefully the sleepers lie
Down in their quiet homes.
All silently and solemnly
II throweth shadows round;
And every grave-stone hath a trace
In darkness on the ground.
II looketh on the tiny mound
Where little child Is laid,
II lighteth up the marble pile
Which human pride hath made.
II eleameth where devoted ones
Are sleeping side by side,
II falleth where the maiden rest.

There Il no grave In all the earth
which moonlight hath not seen;
II ga1eth cold and passionless
Where agony hath been.
But II is welt That ohangeless ray
A deeper thought should throw.
Where mortal love ponrs forth the tide
OF unavailing woe.
II teaches us no shade Of grief
Can touch the starry sky;
That all our sorrow llveth here,

The Red Cross.

The organization Of the Red Cross socie-
ties in this city Tor the purpose OF helping
to alleviate the horrors of the Russo Turkish
war is a movement which cannot fail to CON-
mend itself to all humane people. The
operations of the United States Sanitary
Commission during our late war taught q
valuable lesson to the nations OF Europe, for
they have since adopted our Christian-like
system Of nursing the sick and wounded
during their numerous campaigns. With a
happy foresight the Geneva Cross Conven-
ton made that system universal throughout
Europe. So it now matters not whether
France fights Germany, or Russia makes war
on Turkey, we find the nations at peace aid
ing the combatants to nurse their sick and
wounded soldiers in the field.
The Swiss city OF Geneva will hereafter be
famous as the seat of two international con-
yentions or conferences. The first was one
of arbitration between two great nations
England and America-to decide vexed in
ternational questions and so avoid an expen-
siye and tedious war. The other resulted
in the adoption of code binding on all
European nations, giving the wearers OF the
Red Cross degree Of immunity from the
dangers of active hostilities that greatly in
creases their usefulness and robs war of
many painful features. The members of
the Bed Cross order are only subject to

The Marshal Subm ittfnr.

The news from Paris, although the most
positive portions of it are from source not
altogether trustworthy, indicates that Mar
shall MacMahon is realizing that he is con-
stitutional President of q republic. Unless
we give him credit for powers of mind hith-
erto unsupported we must conclude that he
has been assured he cannot command the
Senate We do not believe that the old SOL
dier who bundled out republican
Assembly on the heels Of mod
crate republican Cabinet and gave
his hand to every foe of the Republic has
been nationally convinced of the error of
his way. The necessity for compromise has
come to him as it would come to soldier.
The Assembly can cut off his supplies and
the Senate cannot be relied on to scatter the
Assembly. He must run or surrender-sub-
nit or resign. We sincerely hope that he
has made up his mind to submit, and we
are certain if he has that those to whom he
capitulates will not impose any unbearable
conditions. The republicans may be well
satisfied with half loaf until 1880.

in any county except Assembly districts.
and requiring all delegates to be separately
chosen in such districts. In the city Of New
York, to which this rule had reference, it is
complied with in form, but evaded in fact,
the whole delegation of this city being aa
much dictated by Tammany as it was before
the rule was adopted. The Albany Conven-
tion this year admitted ali the Tammany
delegates en- mdsse, whereas if the Assem-.
bly, districts had been free there would
have been separate decision as to each.
The consequence is that large body
Of democrats who rebel against this
central tyranny come back to the
city and organize a democratic opposition
which, by coalition with the republicans
and Germans, threatens the success of tha
local party ticket. If Tammany had been
abolished after the disgrace brought upon
it by the infamous Tweed Ring, and the
democratic organization in this city had
been assinilated to that Of the rural dis
tricts, the present great mutiny and dam
gerous coalition which make the success Of
the local democratic ticket SO doubtful
would have been avoided. Tammany will
breed dissensions and keep the local de.
mocracy in turmoil until it is disbanded
or withdraws from politics.

simon Cameron.

Nearly every one in Pennsylvania is likely
to be appointed Minister to Engand-every
respectable person, we might say, but for the
reflection that they are all respectable there.
In the Keystone State there are neither dis
reputable nor dangerous nor criminal nor
other classes such as there are in other
places, and the wonder is that any man who
60 even for the salary to such place rs
London, where there is neither scrapple
nor pcpperpot. But it seems that Wayne
MacVeigh is to have the mission that Gov
ernor Hartranft is to have it that ONLY the
countless years Of Morton McMichael pre-
vent the laying Of the burden on his shoul-
ders, and that if Governor Curtin wants tho
place he need only hold up his hand. In fact,
every one or any one in Pennsylvania can
have this place except Simon Cameron, chief
of the Winnebagoes and medicine man in
several other redoubtable tribes. All the
other names ore thrown in together in the
vain hope that, taken collectively, they may
seem IN equivalent to Simon, like the forty
sixpences that are equal to a sovereign. 1t
is great pity that Simon is the only man of
any account in Pennsylvania, because it is
natural, after all, that Presidents and such
sort of accidental people should have their
antipathies. Now they ask the Pennsylvania
magnates what man shall be constable and
they say Simon Cameron what man shall
be coroner? Simon Cameron what man
collector, surveyor, Inspector, messen-
ger, doorkceper Pit is always Simon CAM
cron. In time that becomes monotonous.
There is tho appearance that Pennsylvania
has lost the little wit she once had. that she
