60 IND DO LIEEjVISE


Annie II. White says: We knew a Ia
dy once, Il gentle Christian lady, who
was looking for a child to adopt. She
visited an orphan asylum, saw many
beautiful ones and passed them by.
At last she came to one who WAS rather
plain. The child turned abruptly away
with Il frown when addressed.
"Oh, you won't want her, laughed
the matron, mo one likes herr
"Why not?'
''She is shy and sullen, and besides,
she isn't pretty"
II will take her," the lady replied.
The matrOn was ;,St0nislIed. And
after everything was settled, and the
child WAS really to 60, she said. IF
you will not consider me impairment,
I would like to know why you take
that little girl in preference to others
far more interesting?
''For the very reason you gave me
why should not take her; she is plain
and unattractive, and no one wants
l,er. The handsome children can AL
ways iind friends, the poor and plain
never"
She drew the child ont from her shy
ness, trained her so that she never had
occasion to be sullen, and under the in
tlnence of her adopted mothers love,
she grew positively pretty. ALI, hap
piness is u heautiier beyond all other.
Verify, great shall be her reward!
Those who make sacrifices for Others,
who share with others their possessions
and who try to make those less fortu-
nate than themselves happy, shall reap
Il golden harvest Of spiritual gifts, and
prepare thereby beautiful garments for
their spirit when they shall have shut
fled off the material form. We pity
that man and woman who can say, II
never cheeret y lonely heart; | never
gave to the poor; never disconnected
myself that others might he made hap
py." We say to such people, that if
they wis|, their spirit life to be high
and exalted, live for others as we'll us
self.-Religio-p Philosophical Journal.

suspicious People.

Every now and then we stumble upon
nervously inclined people whom we can
scarcely approach without giving offense
in some way. Such people are In state
of chronic sffiiction, somebody is always
coming short in treatment of them. If
you look at them it is q stare if you do
not look at them it is slight. There Is
no safe way with the over sensitive but
a straightforward one. If you try TO
avoid one corn, you are sure to tread on
another. The suspiciously-exactiB
person is one of fne-spun ingenuity
He can piece your words into & sense
you never dreamed of; he can make q
chain of circumstantial evidence strong
enough to hang yea from occurrences
the most innocent. Almost everything
you do has a suspicious meaning. Now,
the highest sort of q gentleman is one
who can overlook such ungentiemanllness
in others. A politeuess that stands ever
on the watch to exact an equal pollteness
in return Is more annoying than q
generous rudeness. No man is more
uncomfortable than he who not only
weighs his words and gestures, and
me 4sures the exact significance Of bis
sm les and frowns, but who mskes you
fee. that he is also weighing and measur-
ing your motions. Such one may
think himself q gentlt man, but he Is
enly q social collector of customs in 8
gentlemaD's shell. A true gentleman Ii
not careful 70 keep the balance even.

MOzart's Last Moments.

There is sonnet hing strikinglv beauti-
full and touching in the circumstance OF
his death. "His sweetest song was the
last he sung "-the Requiem" He
had been employed upon this exquisite
piece for several weeks--his soul Fl led
with inspirations of the richest melody,
and already claiming kindred with inn
mortality. After giving it its last touch,
and breathing into it that undying spirit
of song which was to cOnsecrate it
through all time as his cygnean strain, .
he iell into a gentle and quiet slumber.
At length the light footsteps OF his
daughter Emile awoke him. Come
hither," said he, "my Emilie-my task
is sdone-the Requiem is finished. - ''Say
not so, dear father" said the gentle girl,
interrupting him as tears stood in her
eyes; "you must be better--you look
better, for even now your cheek has a
glow upon it. ] am sure we will nurse
you well again-let me bring you some~
thing refreshing" do not deceive
yourself, my love-" said the dying father;
this wasted form can never be restored

hour. You spoke of refreshments, my

time opposed by the Turkish authorities,
and why many thoughtful Turks saw in
it source of danger. Young Cretans
who could read wonld get hold of Athen-
ian newspapers, and be set against their
sovereign, the sultan. However, the
stream was too strong to be thus damned
up by selfish rulers. The desire of the
Cretans for schools had to be met in some
degree, and even before the troubles
which began in 1866, Ismail Pasha had
made considerable concessions in regard
to Cretan education. It would now be
difficult TO find a family of the better
class in the whole island which has not
either secured some sort of teaching for
its children in Crete itself, or sent them
to Greece to be taught.

The Discovery Of North America.

A Wall street broker laid 8 wager the
other day that Christopher Columbus
discovered the contiDet OF North Amer
lea. and, of course, lost it. It is.surpri=-
ing how many intelligent persons enter
tain the same error. Knowing that he
discovered a number OF islands IN the
western hemisphere, they think that he
must of necessity have discovered this
continent also. They forget that he died
in ignorance of the grandeur of his
achievement, believing Cuba, Terra
Firma, and the other lands he had found
tn be remote parts of Asia. Amerigo
Vespucci, after whom North and South
America is named, did not discover this
continent proper either. The land he
discovered lay near the equator, and he,
too, was deluded with the notion that it
was portion of Asia. John Cabot wss
the discoveIer of North America (sonie
time in May, 1497), which he likewise
supposed TO belong to the dOminioBs Of
the Grand Cham. He sailed along the
coast for three hundred leagues, and
went ashore, without finding any
human being, though he believed the
country inhabited. It Is remarkable
that the three great discoverers of the
Western world should all have been
Italians, Columbus having been born
in Genoa, Vespucci in Florence, and
Cabot, presumably, in Venice The birth
Of Cabot is uncertain, as are his age snd
the place and time Of his death. But
the TACT that the license granted 70 him
by Henry VII calls him KabOtto, Vene-
tiaD, would seem TO determine the gues-
tion of his nativity. The disoovereIs
hsd sorry fortune. Columbus, as we
are aware, was treated with the blackest
iDgratitude by the King of Spain.
When the officers of the vessel in which
he was carried prisoner to Spain offered
to remove his chains, imposed upon him
by royal order, ne replied, viii wear
them as reminder of the gratitude of
princess" He died, ss every body knows,
neglected, in extreme poverty, OF 8
broken heart. VeEpucci had many trials
( and died poor, and Cabot fell into such
Obscurity that no ene can tell where or
when or how ne died. Surely the augu-
ries attendant on the birth OF the western
world were not tavorab e, and in q
superstitious age might have led to the
/ belief that its history would never be
marked by good fortune New York
