CHILDREN's PRAYERS. Little Nellie,
who was only four years old no soon
er saw work laid aside. than she ran to
her mothers knee. Mrs. Lee lifted her
to her lap, and went on busily thinking
Of her duties and cares.
For time Nellie amused herself yery
quietly by winding string in and ;..out
through her fingers but presently she
began talking. When say my prayers
God says, Hank, angels, while I hear a
little noise.
Her mother asked her what noise she
meant.
"A little girls noise. Then the angels
will do just So shutting her mouth We
ry tight, and keeping very still for mo-
ment, till say Amen.
wonder if the children who read this
story OF little Nellie have ever thought
how wonderful it is that God always
hears their prayers. He is surrounded
by thousands of angels praising Him
with their golden harps, and yet through
all the music and all the praises, He
hears the softest prayer Of little child
kneeling by the bedside. He must be
very loving and very kind to children.
We should think he would sometimes
forget, and be listening to the beautiful
sounds in heaven instead Of the prayer
of little child. But He never does.
There is never too much singing or,too
many praises there.f for Him TO hear a lit.

How TO CURE GossP.-Adopt this
rule: Let all who come to you with sto-
ries about mutual acquaintances know
that you intend, as soon as your duties
allow, to wait upon tue parties spoken
Of disparagingly and repeat just what
was said, and who said it. Still better,
take out your memorandum-book and
ask the party to allow you to copy the
words, 80 that you can make no mistake.
You will have to do this probably not
more than three times. 1t will fly among
your acquaintance on the wings Of the
gossips, and persons who come to talk
against other persons in your presence
will begin to feel as if they were testi.
flying under oath.
But, you ask, "Will it not be mean to
go Off and detail conversational" Not
at all when your interlocutor under
stands that he must not talk against an
absent person in your presence without
expecting you to convey the words to
the absent person, and the name Of the
speaker. Moreover, what right has any
man or woman to approach you and
bind you to secrecy, and then poison
your mind against another5 If there
be any difference in your obligations.
are you not bound more to the man who
is absent than the pan who is PRESENT.
If you can thus help to kill gossip it
will not matter if you lose friend or
two; such friends as these, who talk n
gainst others to you, are the very per-
sons TO talk against you to them.
Try our rule. We know it to be
good. We use it. 1t is known in the
church OF which we are pastor, that il
any one speaks to US disparagingly OF
an absent member, we hold it our duty
to go to that absent member immedi.
ately and report the conversation and
the names or, still better, TO make the
party disparaging. face the party dis
paraged. We have almost none Of this
to do. Amid the many annoyaDces
which necessarily come to the pastor oil
large church, and still larger congre.
CATION, we think that we are as free from
the annoyance of gossips as it is posi-
BILE for a man to be who lives amongst
his fellow-men.
Try our rule, try IL faithfully, with
meekness and charity, and IL it does not
work well let us know.-Dr. Deems IN

PINCHING OFF PoTATo BLossoM.-A
foreign correspondent Of the New En-
gland Farmer, of Boston, says that a
published report of experiments made
in Franco of increasing the yield OF
the potato by removing the flower, shows
that the crop was augmented 70 the ex-
tent Of twenty-five per cent. and that
the quality was improved. A person.
it is claimed, can nip off the blossoms
from an acre of potatoes in q day.
There are some eeasons, however, when
tue flowers fall prematursly, and this Ia
Dor is unnecessary.

and asked for a drink. No. said the

He stepped aside to make room for q
couple of young men who had just en-
tered. and the landlord waited upon
them very politely.
The other stood by, silent and sullen
and when they finished, he walked up
to the landlord and thus addressed
him:
Six years ago. at their age. stood
where those young men are now. l
was young man with fair prospects.
Now at the age Of twenty-eight, am a
wreck in body and mind. You led me
to drink. In this room l formed the
habit that has been my ruin. Now sell
me few glasses more and your work
will be done. / shall soon be out of the
way there is no hope for me but they
can be saved. Sell it to me and let the
world be rid of me; but for heavens
sake sell no more to them.
The landlord listened, pale and trem
bling. Setting down his glass, he ex-
claimed: so help me God, this is the
last drop will ever sell to any one
And he kept his word.

HorE OS.-The most peculiar hour
Of persons life is when he is tempted
to despond. The man who loses his

LET BYGoNES BE BYaONEs.

Let bygones be bygones ifbygones were
clouded
BY aught that occasioned a pang or
regret,
oh, let them in darkest oblivion be

IT'S wise and tits kind to forgive and

From ills over which it is folly to fret
The wisest of mortals have foolishly
acted
The kind est are those who forgive
and forget.
Let bygones be bygones; oh. cherish no

The thought that tho sun OF affection
has set;
Eclipsed for a moment, its rays will be
stronger
If you, like Christian, forgive and
forget.
Let bygones be bygones; your heart
will be lighter
When kindness Of yours with recep.
ton has met;
The flame Of your love will be purer and
brighter,
If, God-like, you strive TO forgive and
forget.
Let bygones be bygones; oh, purge out
the leaven
OF malice, and try an example to set
To others, who, craving the mercy OF

Are sadly too slow to forgive and
