MIR. Moody on Bible Study.

In his Sunday morning address in Spring
field, March Sd, Mr.. Moody declared that
Bible students must come to the study of
the Word trustfully, no matter if all its
truths are not revealed at once. What was
dark to him ten years ago is plain now ;
what is dark now may be made plain further
on. He also deprecated the reading of the
New Testament to the exclusion of the Old
The two are interviewer; the sixty-six books
are one book the New Testament is crowded
with illusions to the Old. Then he did not
believe much good came from reading one
or two consecutive chapters in the Bible
daily, Just to ease ones conscience. When
he was a boy he used to hoe corn so poorly
hat he had to leave a stick where he left off
so as to know where to begin the next day ;
and people who read the Scriptures in this
way would be puzzled to know what to do
without book-uiark. One way to study
the Bible is to make thorough thing of one
book at a time, but he especially recon-.
mended topical study. Take up the subject
of love or grace, or assurance of heaven, and
see how much the Bible can tell you about
it. You can search it out by means of
Cruden's Concordance-a book of inestima-
BILE value to every Bible student. He also
advised every one to have arge-print Bible
Of his own; make notes on the margin
against the texts you hear preached from,
and it will soon become treasurehouse to
you. To those who study it Alright the Word
of God is fresh every morning. Mr.. Moody
said he was remarking to Mr.. Sankey the
other day that they had now been evangel-
lists five years, and how tired they would get
of it if it was politics or anything else but
the gospel that they were preaching. He re-
ierred particularly to the Bible-readings in
London, where one thousand little companies
assemble for that purpose nightly Take up
the 81 ans of the Bible, the promises, the
riches of the promises, the conversions, the
Besseds Of the Revelation, or the gifts of
God to those who trust in him-all these are
most fruitful themes for study.

An Incident.

One day saw an old woman sitting at
the street corner begging She was mis-
cradle creature, clothed in rags, sitting on a
low stool with her crutches beside her, reach
ing out her withered hand to the gay null
titude passing by, asking aims. stopped
and stood beside her, not to offer money, but
sympathy. "Aunty, you've had a long, hard
journey, but you'll soon reach home. Are
you to have home in heaven 2" Yes,
honey, | hope so lze been gwine in that
direction for more'n forty years" "But
suppose, after all, you should miss heaven Z"
"Oh, Missus, couldn't miss heaven. Pze
got the Lor' Jesus for my guide, and all I'ze
got to do is to hole on to him, and he'll tote
me over de hard places" - But how do you
know you've got him to hold on to z" A
strange, heavenly light came into her black,
SCARED face as, laying her hand on her heart,
she said "Ohl know, kase his lub keeps
burnin' and his glory keeps d shinin
in har; and de black is all shined away,
and l'ze all white inside like light. And
den the Lor' Jesus keeps a talking in my
heart and maxim it dance wild Joy, and he
keeps sayin', 'Neber you be ateared, ole

Yes, we shall all be like him, for we shall
see him as he is. And when you stand
among the angels and the redeemed you
will not be old or poor, or lame or black, but
you'll be like Jesus" She shouted aloud
as we talked for very joy. 1t was strange,
solemn scene, an old beggar praising God
by the wayside, and many of the gay and
thoughtless brushed their tears away as they
dropped their offerings into her lap We
shall see him as he is and be like him. The
utmost reach of Imagination can go nc
farther. 1t is enough for me to know that
| shall be like my Lord, and abide in hi,
glory forever. There by the river Of lif,
and the tree of life we will forget that VIZ
were ever hungry or weary; there on the
streets of gold, ON the jasper sea, in thu
mansion prepared for us, we will forget tina
we were poor and homeless, and sorrowful
and sad, but will sing, "Glory to the Laml
who hath washed us in his own blood, anC
redeemed us, and made us kings aud priest

MOOdyisIns.

Many backsliders never slid very far for
ward.-Everything in the world but the hu-
man heart obeys Coda man can do more
business ii his head is cleared by prayer
every morning. Many think it is the Bible
that says, Z" Do as the Romans do."-A pur-
pose in the head and not in the heart doesn't
last long" Policy" was not in the dction-
AIRY that Daniel studied.-A man cannot
live for God in any age or country without
enemies.-Many people seek an experience
instead of Christ.-If | could understand
the Bible, | should give up the idea it was
divine.-Satan gets people into the cradle of
an excuse, and rocks them to sleep.-God
doesn't whisper into the ear of an infidel the
secrets of heaven.-Many join the church
who never joined Christ.-The way from
Jerusalem to Jericho is all down grade
Christ never preached any funeral sermons
the dead heard his voice and rose.-l find
none but sudden conversions in the Bible
The sun that softens the ice hardens the
clay.-Men are not saved by their opinions.
Most any unconverted man is better than
hypocrite in the church.-lt is hard for
the devil to counterfeit humility.-People
seem to think salvation is by doubts instead
of faith.-From the cradle to the grave is
the shortest part of life.-Paul's life has
done more to upset infdelity than all the
books that were ever written.-The door OF
salvation hangs on the one hinge of the hu
man will.

Floating Wrecks.

If nature made no provision for the re-
moval OF floating wrecks from the surface OF
the ocean, dangers of navigation would in-
crease in a fearful ratio; floating hulls, spars
and masts would soon cover the sea. To
effect the removal of floating wood three
species of small marine animals play most
important part. Suppose We have ship
spar drifting about upon the waves. a small
creature, known as the barnacle, soon dis
covers it aud attaches itself thereto, aud as
those little creatures exist in immense num-
bers, the timber speedily becomes covered
with them. On examining them at this
stage we will find that they are attached to
the timber 10y means OF tube not unlike the
windpipe of a chicken, this tube being filled
with liquid, whilst from the shell protrudes
a series OF twenty-four hairy claws or tenta-
ces. Each Joint OF the latter is arched and
furnished with rows of hair on its concave
side, so much like feathers that it is proba
bly, from their appearance that the first idea
of the barnacle goose was derived. The
effect of the barnacles is to sink the log
When in mid-water or at the bottom it is at
tackled and riddled through by two little
wood-boring animals, the pholas and the
toredo. The toredo navalis or "calamita,
navium," works its way through hard plank'
aud lines the tunnel as it goes with II hard
ivory-like shell. Thus, then, the barnaclel
and wood-worms unite to work the destruc
ton OF wreckage for, borne down by thu
one it is speedily riddled by the others, unit
it falls to pieces by the action OF the wave
and becomes lost.

How I Made Her Jealous.

"Fm dreadfully jealous of you," said jolly
little Mrs. b. George has been telling me
what good dinner he had here the other
day, but of course he doesn't know what he
had. Who ever saw a man that did 2" |
laughed, made commonplace reply and
turned the subject, but for all that felt Just
little proud. You see, the day Mr.. b. came
to dinner was Monday, and always do the
work that day so mother can give her whole
attention TO the washing It's hard times
now, and we are getting along with Just as
little as possible aud hatter myself when
necessary can get along with as little as
any one. But when went into the pantry
to see what there was for dinner felt doubt
full of the result My stock of provisions
was small: six eggs-l always look after
them the first thing, no matter what meal
am getting, the remains of the beefsteak pie,
from yesterdays dinner, a loaf of nice bread,
pail of Indian meal a jar of butter-but
must be very careful of that, for as father
says, who knows where the next will come
from So far so good. First, got some
potatoes and put them baking next, made a
cod-water johnny-cake, and there was one
egg gone then took the pie, dumped it, crust
and ALL iuto the chopping bowl, and set to
work. | chopped it fine as possible, sea-
soned it literally with pepper and salt, beat
in an egg, aud moulded it into four good
sized flat balls. There p' said |, "wel do
without dessert to-day" Just then papa
came in and coolly informed us that Mr. b.
would be there to dinner. / haven't very
sweet temper, as you know. | went into the
pantry, my refuge at all times, and shut the
door pretty hard. If there had been time
should have cried as it was | looked to see
how many eggs there were left. Only four,
aud there must be something for dessert. A
moments thought, and | whisked up
sponge cake and popped it into the oven.
There was one egg left; with that | made a
pudding sauce. | was reckless by that time
and used all the butter and sugar wanted,
aud mother will tell you that is good deal
Then set the table in my best style, which,
considering our dearth of silver and cut-glass
isn't saying much. | forgot to say that
mad to make over my meat balls. BY taking
little from each one | made five quite de-
cent ones; then fried them nice brown,
and with a little glass jug of horse.radish we
made very respectable dinner. You see it
was in the spring and all the vegetables but
potatoes were gone, and canned vegetables
hadn't got so far into the backwoods. |
often laugh when | think of how | made
Mrs. b. jealous, and sometimes am tempted
to tell her all about it, especially when she
asks me for my receipt for pudding, " the
one George liked so much, you know" but
my answer is, I've lost it, but it YOU wish
my receipt for sponge cake you are welcome
to it."-Seiected.

Spring Fashions.

The fashion writer of IIarper's Bazaar
says that the first importations of spring
bonnets are of French chip, soft English
straws, and some rough fancy braids with "a
piping of velvet between the rows of braid
The new bonnets are of comfortable shape,
being moderate in size, large in the head,
and closely fitting in front The crown is
very ample, square at the top and very low
behind, where ii may end abruptly, or be
finished by straight curtain band, or one
that is indented in the middle. The variety is
seen in the brims, some of which are cottage
shaped, and so close that all inside trimming
is dispensed with. Satin is the principal
material for trimming. 1t is used in the
piece, laid in loose, irregular folds, handker-
chief shapes, and pipings; but, above every
thing else, in ribbons that are gros grain on
the reverse side. Nos. twelve and sixteen
are the widths most used in ribbons for trim
ming and for strings Beads will be the
special feature of the spring garniture
These are strung in rows on fine wire, and
used to finish the edge of brims and TO twine
in loops and bows of satin There are orna
ments of balls and rods in brooches aud
clasps, made TO correspond with the different
kind of beads. There are also many fine
cut beads in rainbow colors, IN jet, gold and
clair de lune, set in passementerie that is
made in meshes like netting, aud is used u
lie fiat on the brim OF the bonnet The
French flowers excel those of any previous
season in variety. A special novelty is the
crescent-shaped cluster for the top of the
bonnet-a half moon of flowers of severa
colors.yellow buttercups with dark damask
roses, and pale blue forgetme-nots fringed
with moss or grasses. Other small bouquets
of various colors are placed low behind the
ear ON the left side OF the bonnet. Thick
clumps of unblown roses and of many green
leaves cover the left side of the bonnet
Rosettes of many loops OF satin or OF watered
ribbon are on the new bonnets. The inside
of the brim and curtain is usually faced with
satin. Some bonnets have two large Alsa
elan bows, with dropping loops of two shade,

Why Women Should Read.

Laying aside the thought of our own rest
and comfort, let us look little higher For
The chiidrenS sake De must make the most Of
ourselves, Many an unseltsh mother has
said, " Oh, cannot take all this time, there
are so many things to do for the children"
She does not realize that she may do more
Tor them in the end by cultivating herself
than if she spends all her time on clothes
and cooking. A generosity which makes
the recipient weak or selfish is not blessing
but curse. Have you not seen grown.up
sons who snubbed their mothers opinions
in the same breath with which they called
her to bring their slippers The meek little
woman has trotted around to wait on
them so long that they have come TO think
that that is all she is good for, Their sis
tiers keep ." Ma in the background because
she hasn't bit of STYLE" aud is so un-
cultivated" forgetting that she has always
worn shabby clothes that they might wear
fine ones that her hands have become horny
with hard work that theirs might be kept
soft aud white for the piano, and that she
has denied herself books and leisure that
they might have both. Aud there are other
children, too noble for such base ingrati-
tude, who feel keen though secret sense of
loss as they kiss the dear withered cheek
and think how much more OF woman

Golden Hair at the ChanceI.

A friend living in Philadelphia has a
sweet golden-haired little daughter, aged
three years, who is devoted To her father,
and endeavors, after her baby fashion, to
govern her actions by his own. This habit
causes much amusement in the family,
though the little one seems quite unconscious
that she is the cause of it all. Not long ago
the child attended divine service for the first
time with her father, and sat quietly and
grayely in the pew until the close OF the ser
mon. 1t CHANGED to be communion Sunday
and Mr.. -, being a communicant, went
with Others toward the chancel, unconscious
that his little daughter was following him
As he knet and bowed his head, the baby
of three years also knelt and bowed hel
sweet face upon her tiny hands. Thost
who saw the touching sight were affected al
most to tears, and nobody attempted to re
move the small communicant. Not unit
my friend rose to return to his seat did h'
discover the child, who also rose and slip
ping her little hand in his, walked gravel,
toward the pew. The clergyman, speaking
of it afterward, said it was, in his opinion
the most beautiful sight he had ever seen.-
