The SOcratic Method.

AS every one knows, who knows any
thing of the tricks and manners of Soc
rates, that remarkable philosopher never
conversed except by asking questions.
Il he wanted to express the opinion that
Xantippe had put too much lard in the
pie-crust, he would begin by PROFOUND
ing to her series of seemingly irrele-
want questions, with the view of ulti-
mately leading her into an inadvertent
admission of the evils of excessive lard.
His famous conversation with Alcibi-
ades, in the course of which he convinced
the latter of the non-eXistence OF his
dog, furnishes a fair example of what
we have come to call the Socratic
method; and, as the dialogue has never
been translated into English, brief ex-
tract from it will not be out of place
here:
S.-Ihey tell me, oh, Alcibiades, that
you have cut off your dogs tail. L"
At is true, oh, Socrates; [ did it
with my battle-ax.
S.-What is dog? Is it an animal
with four legs and a tail?
A.-You say truly.
S.-Then your dog is not a dog, tor
he is an animal with four legs, yet with
out tail?
Al see that I must admit it.
S.-But you will also admit that neith-
er among Greeks, nor yet among bar
barians, is there an animal which, hav-
ing four legs, has no tail.
Again thou sayest what nobody
denies of.
S.-How then can you claim that you
have the very animal which does not
exist t.?
A.-By Zeus, I make no such claim.
S.-Then you see you have no dog.
It was by this method of cross-ques-
tioning that Socrates achieved tre-
mendous reputation. 1t is to be regret
ted that in his later years he did not ad-
here to his early custom of always hav-
ing three or four persons about him
whose business it was to admit every
thing. Unfortunately, he fell into the
habit of asking everybody questions, in
consequence of which his long suffering
fellow-citizens had to kill him.-Neeo

A Wasp's Sting.

A most singular and at the same time
serious accident has occurred to boy
named Llewellyn Grifiths, aged nine
years, residing with his parents in Roso-
mon street, Clerkenwell, London. 1t
appears that the mother OF the boy gave
him his breakfast, which consisted OF
milk and slices of jam and bread. While
eating the latter he gave loud scream,
and began to run about the room, evi.
IDENTIFY in great pain. He then elected
the bread from his mouth, and it was
found to contain the body of wasp.

once injected solution of ammonia in
the puncture caused by the sting, which
gradually eased the pain and reduced the
swelling; the power of deglutition, how
ever, was nearly suspended.

Golden Thoughts.

tits only those that have done nothing

The "golden everlasting chain "
described by Homer as reaching from
heaven to earth, and embracing the
whole moral world, was no fable. The
chain is love.
He seldom lives frugally who lives by
chance. Hope is always liberal, and
they that trust to her promises make
little scruple of revelling to-day on the
profits of tomorrow.
Human life defined by a line is rs
uncomfortable as would be q human
figure defined by wire. One prefers
little mist about it, where hope may put
out wondering hand. II
We strive as hard to hide our hearts
from ourselves as from others, and al
ways with more success; for in deciding
upon our own case we are both judge,
jury and executioner; and when sophis-
try cannot overcome the first, or hatt0r
the second, se!f-love is always ready to
defeat the sentence by bribing the third.
Women often fancy themselves to be
in love when they are not. The love OF
being loved, fondness of fattery, the
pleasure of giving pain to rival, and
passion for novelty and excitement
frequently mistaken for something far
better and hoier, till marriage disen-
chants the fair self-deceiver, and leaves
her astonished at her own Indifference
and the evaporation of her romantic
talents.
Act towards others as you would they
should act towards yourself. 1t is the
same in life as in the midst of the waves;
for every navigator there is the same
sea, the same tempests, the same dam
gers to beware of. AS long as you are
borne on tranquil surface, help those
who have suffered shipwreck. Who can
say that you will not be overtaken by
storm-you are not yet in port; the same
conduct that you have shown to the nm
fortunate will be shown to you by your
fellow-voyagers.

walk, and desired her to carry a little jar
of butter to old Mrs. Simpson, she made
no objection. The day was pleasant,
though cool, and wrapping herself in q
warm shawl of her mothers, and tying a
pink-lined hood about her face, Hetty
set off alone on her walk.
It was rather long distance that she
had to go-out of the village and across
field, and then by lonely pathway
lying along the foot of a hill. Mrs.
Simpson kept her some time, talking
and it was late when the girl set out on
her return. Slowly retracing the little
pathway under the dropping beeches,
Hatty paused at the stile which led into
the open field. 1t was pleasant here.
The sun shed golden light over the
beech boughs, and breath Of spring
time woodland fragrance foated on the
air. Somehow Hetty felt soothed, as
she resting on the stile, and looking
dreamily at the white clouds overhead.
An approaching footstep startled her.
Turning, she saw mans figure coming
along the pathway, and another glance
showed her that it was Walter Hayes.
Her heart gave great throb and then
seemed to stand still.
He came straight toward her-his
hand extended, his lips smiling, his eyes
looking straight into her own.
"Hetty!"
She leaked at him, half in hope, half
in doubt, and the color came and went
on her face.
"Hetty-I have wanted SO much to
see you"
She could not mistake the sincerity of
his tone, or the look of the brown eyes ;
and she answered simply and naively:
CT thought you had forgotten me"
Forgotten you?"
She could not have told how it hap
pened; but somehow she found herself
seated on the step of the stile with Wal
ter beside; his arm around her, and her
cheek close, ah very close to his;
whilst all the world around seemed
transformed into strange beauty and
glory. Such miracles does a moment
sometimes work in our lives.

TALLY Informed him at church, in answer
to his inquiries, that she was too sick to
come down stairs that day-a statement
which he unfortunately credited, and
when this morning he had called, and
learned from her mother where she
had gone, he had lost no time in fol-
lowing.
"But, Walter" said Hetty, hesitat-
ingly, edo you know heard something
about you and-Mi.s S Mitchell ?"
He laughed.
"Miss Mitchell is to be married
shortly, Hetty, to our junior partner.
She has been very kind to me, and so
has her uncle, my employer. Indeed,
Hetty, wanted to tell You of my good
fortune and good prospects; and to ask
you, darling, if, when -
And then the words which had been
for whole year delayed, were spoken;

sight of her home, whether this could

Eyes.

Eyes.
Sweet baby eyes,
That look around with such grave surprise,
What do you see?
A strange new world where simplest things
Engender wild imaginings
And fancies free?
A resting place that is not home,
A paradise wherein to roam
For years, may be?
Oh pland, wondering baby eyes,
The mystery that in you lies
Oft puzzles me.
Clear, boyish eyes,
Whose fearless glance unconsciously defes
Trouble and care;
When babyhood is past and gone,
What is it that you gaze upon?
A land most fair;
A sunny shore with pleasure rife
And that great, glorious gift Of life
'Tis bliss to share.
Oh happy, trustful, boyish eyes,
Let ssges envy, fools despise,
The faith you wear.
The anxious eyes
OF manhood, slowly piercing earth's disguise,
Discover what?
That life at best is quickly done;
That hopes fulfilled and wishes won
Are dearly got;
That shadows chased in headlopg haste,
And golden fruit he strove to taste,
Delight him not.
Oh restless, doubling, troubled eyes,
To learn in sorrow to be wise
Is manhood's lot.
Dim, aged eyes,
Gazing across the wreck of broken ties,
What do they see?
Behind-dcad leaves that withered fall,
fading Wilderness, where ell
Is vanity;
Before-to gladden. weary sight,
A glimpse, promise Of the bright
Eternity.
Oh dim and fearful aged eyes,
If waiting till that dawn shall rise,
Blessed are ye!
And angel eyes,
Who have their dwelling place beyond the skies
Yainly do We
Imsge the glories they must know,
Picture the pearly gates aylow-
The crystal sea.
For brightest visions mortals paint
OF that celestial country, faint
Must ever be.
No. pure and holy angel eyes,
We can bat pray that what you prize
Our own may see.
