: Daughter and Wife.

A bad daughter seldom makes good
wife. Ifa girl is ill-teupered at home,
snarls al her parents. snaps at brothers
and sisters, and "shirks" her ordinary
duties, the chances are ten to one that
when she gets homo Of her own, she
will make il wretched. There are girls
who fancy themselves so far superior
to their parents that the mere privilege
of enjoying their society in the house,
ought to be all the old people should
have the assurance to ask. While their
mothers are busy With domestic duties,
they sit in the easiest chairs, or lie on
the softest sofas, feeding on cheap and
trashy novels, and cherish the notion
that they are very literary individuals.
The household drudgery is too coarse
for such fine ladies as they. The bust,
ness Of their parents is to provide them
with nice clothes, and to be content
with admiring their handsome appear.

Some one gives the following table OF
the order in which men give up their
luxuries under the pressure of hard
times :. Books go first-the book trade
Hattens under panic; illustrated papers

pressure, continues, the trade in pianos
and fine furniture falls off; tut the Ia
boring classes begin to contract on the
furniture from the start. Next 1t begins
to cut of fine clothes and jewelry, and
then it's getting pretty tight. Put on
another screw and tea and coffee suffer;
then all the incest kind of produce. If
the screw still tightens, when the worst

ONLY A SUNBEAM.

Only morning sunbeam,
Fresh from the glowing dawn,
Kissing the wakening flowers,
Gliding the narrow lawn.
Making the dew-drops, gathered
Mid the darkness Of the night,
Glitter, and shine. and sparkle,
In its celestial light.
Only a noonday sunbeam,
Painting theRpples red.
Purp;ing the grapes that cluster,
Thick on the vine o'erhead;
Tinging with soft pink coior
The ,peach''s cheek Of down,
Ripening the hedgerow berries,
Turning the corn-ears brown.
Only on evening sunbeam,
Falling now from the west,
Shedding gentle rediance
On the broad rivers breast;
Growing more soft and lovely
Just as it fades away,
To begin on another horizon
A fairer and brighter day.
Only q life of duty,
Lowly, but pure and true,
Doing for love of Jesus
What the hand finds to do.
Fair in its childhood's morning,
Fair is its MONDAY ray;
Fairest lis light at evening
As it sinks to its rest away.

A pleasant little romance, involving
the destinies Of two young foreign mis-
siouaries, occurred during the past sum-
mer near Boston. A graduate Of Am
herst College and Andover Theological
Seminary, having devoted himself to
the missionary work and been assigned
to mission on India's coral strand, was
looking around for genial companion,
for the American Board don't like to
send single young men to heather lands,
when he met the daughter of a Turkish
missionary, ana the two fell in love al
most at sight. IL week they were
engaged, now they are married, and
such has been the gentle maiden's infu-
epce that what is southern 1ndia's loss
will be central Turkeys gain.

True as Gospel.

Idleuess is the mother of vice, and a
boy who is allowed to grow up in idle
ness is pretty sure to be a vicious man.
The parents Of such boys have a fearful
responsibility resting upon them, when
they let their sons run about at late
hours Of the night instead Of keeping
them at home reading good newspapers
and books, and training them in moral
habits so as to become respectable men
instead of loafers, which is sure to be
the case with the night runners and
day idlers, then the responsibility is in
creased. Give the boys plenty to do,
and you will preserve their morals.
Better tired boy than Vitiated mind.

Cob, nv husband is quite paragon

"Ob, my husband is quite a paragon
of perfection" said Mrs. A. to Mrs. 3.
"Ah, indeed I! Don't he drink any more"
asked Mrs. B. "No," said Mrs. A.
About two months ago he came home
intoxicated, and I told him if ever he
did 30 again I'd 90 home to ma, and he
don't drink now" "That accounts for
it," said Mrs. B. "The other night my
husband met him in the street hanging
to a lamp-post, and asked him why he
didn't go home, and he said he would
as soon as he got sober" When Mrs.
A. and Mrs. B. pass each other in the
street now, the coldness is as thick as a
quart of ice cream.

Among the curiosities that are works

For every fair and pleasant bower,
That smiles upon the modest birth
OF every dew-bespangled flower.
l thank God for these little birds,
That soar aloft on joyous wing
More eloquent than human words,
And sweeter, arc the songs they sing
thank Him for the little stream,
That murmurs softly as it flows,
And trembles meath the golden beam
That on its crystal surface glows.
, thank Him for the gentle breeze,
That comes from o er the lillied Lea,
And wautons with the nodding trees
Whose gracious branches shelter me
I thank Him for the lovely face
or Nature,-for the works of art,
And these, and all, have each place
Within my sad, forsaken heart.

Though lost to oil loved the best,

When can fy to Natures breast!
Ah mine has been q lonely lot
And full of taorns my path appearsi

And huu,bly ask to be forgiven.

was made that became so famous on the
Centennial grounds for its delcousness as
to command four prices indeed, to sell for
far more than it. was worth Sift in tin
pan four pounds Of -four, bank it up against
the sides, pour in one quart of milk and
water, and mix into it enough -four to form
thin batter, then quickly and lightly add
one pint Of milk in which is dissolved one
ounce of salt and one and three. quarter
ounces of yeast; leave the remainder Of the
flour against the sides Of the pan cover the
part with a cloth and set it in place free
from draught for three-quarters of an hour;
then mix in the rest of the -four until the
dough will leave the bottom and sides of
the pan, and let it stand two and a.half
hours. Finally, divide the mass into one
pound pieces, to be cut in turn into twelve
parts each. This gives square pieces about
three aud half inches thick, each corner
Of which is taken up and folded over the
centre, and then the eases are turned over
on dough-board to rise for half an hour,
when they are put into hot oven and baked

KEEPING ROSES IN BI.ooM-As soon
as they have formed their first flowers in
the open ground, pinch off the end of the
first shoot, and as socn as the rose is fully
opened, pick it of. No rose should be left
to fade upon the bush, as when so left it
exhausts the plant in the formation of seed
AS the plants grow, pinch back the ends of
the shoots when they have grown six inches,
and rub out all puny shoots, thus keeping
the plants in a rounded open bush form
IF strong shoots alone are left to grow, they
will soon control the strength of the plant,
and the flowers will be few and often of
imperfect form. Should the season be hot
and dry, mulch of fine, fresh grass or
sawdust, or moss from the woods, should be
placed all over the soil, three inches deep,
and at night watered thoroughly, not sprink-
led, but wet like days rain. The Hybrid
Perpctuals or Noiscttes require this prun-
ing or pinching back more promptly than
the Teas, Bengals or Bourbons.-E. R.
