Don't FrOwn.

In the name of weary humanity, allow
plea for cheerfuness to be entered. Why,
Christians, will you go among fellow-men
with frowned, draped countenance Sor-
rows come, troubles Gomez but why be so
melancholy as though your last hope were
blasted There is duty which we owe To
those about us-to be cheerful, The gloom
upon your face throws shadow on their
hearts. 1t is pitiful to see the effect of one
such face upon family. The children feel
it the wife or husband, as the case may be,
feels it, Life is made up OF little things
which cost nothing, and are worth a great
deal. Let the law of kind charity, which
underlies the Saviour, be the guiding prin-
ciple of your life. Aud let it not stop with
faithfulness in great matters, but see to il
that this grace attain so high development
that it may beam from every feature. YouI
cheeriulness will rest the weary, it will
cheer the downcast heart; it will give
strength to the weak it will help men to
keep brave hearts in this cold, hard world

BE Agreeable at Meals.

Every one can do something, says DR..
To add to the social life at the
table. If one cannot talk, he can listen, or
ask questions, and draw out others who can
talk. Good listeners are as necessary as
good takers. Never argue at the table; but
talk pleasant stories, relate or read anec-
dotes, and look out for the good of all. Some
times single anecdote from a paper starts
a conversation that lasts during the meal
time. A family table ought to be bright
and cheerful a sort of domestic altar, where
every one casts down his or her offering,
great or small, of pleasautness and peace
where, for at least a brief space in the day,
all annoyances are laid aside, all stormy
tempers hushed and quarrels healed every
one being glad and content to sit down at
the same board and eat the same bread and
salt, making it, whether it were a rich re-
past or a dinner OF herbs, equally a joyful
almost sacramental meal.-Rehgious Herald

Evils OF GOssip.

We have known country society which
withered away to nothing under the dry rot
of gossip only. Friendship, once as firm as
granite. dissolved TO Jelly, and then ran
away to water, only because of this love
that promised future as enduring and as
stable as truth evaporated into morning
mist that turned to days long tears, only
because of this father and son were set
foot to foot with the fiery breath of an anger
that would never cool between them and a
husband and young wife, each straining at
the hated lash which in the beginning had
been the promise of a God-b, 'ssed love, sat
mournfully by the side Of the grave where
all their love and all their joy lay buried,
and all because of this. We have seen faith
transformed to mean doubt, Joy give place
to grim despair, aud charity take on itself
the features of black malevolence, all be-
cause of the fell words of scandal, and the
magic mutterings of gossip. Great crimes
work great wrongs, and the deeper tragedies
OF human life spring from the largest pas.
sions; but woeful and most mournful are
the uncatalogued tragedies that issue from
gossip aud detraction most mOurnful the
shipwreck often made of noble natures and
lovely lives by the bitter winds and dead
saltwater of slander. So easy to say, yet so
hard TO disprove-throwing on the innocent
all the burden and the strain OF demonstrate
ing their innocence, and furnishing them as
guilty if unable to pluck out the stings they
never see, and to silence words they never
hear-gossip p and SANDER are the deadlest
and cruelest weapons man has ever forged
for his brothers heart.-AHhe Year Round.

MAKE Your HOUSE CoMFoRrABLE.-Do
not huddle together in little room around
red-hot stove, with every window fastened
down; do not live in this poisoned air, and
then when one of your children dies put
piece in the paper commencing with,
Whereas it has pleased Providence to re-
move from our midst" Have plenty of air
aud plenty OF warmth. Let your children
sleep. Do not drag them from their bed in
the darkness of the night. Treat them with
infuite kindness. There is no happiness in
a house not filled with love; where the man
hates the wife or the wife hates the husband
where the children fear their parents where
the parents dislike their children. Every
such home is hell upon earth. There is
nothing in the cultivation OF the soil to make
men grabbed or unjust.

THE SNOWFALL.

Old Winter comes forth in his robe Of white;
He sends sweet flowers far ont Of sight,
lie robs the trees of their green leaves quite
And freezes the pond and the river.
lie has spoiled the butterny's pretty nest,
And ordered the birds not TO build their nest,
And banshed the frog to a four months rest,
And makes all the children shiver.
Yet he does some good with his Icy tread,
For he keeps the gran-seeds warm In their bed;
He dries up the damp which the rain had spread,
And renders the air more healthy.
lie taught the boys to slide, and he flung
Rich Christmas gifts DER the old and the young,
And when cries for food from the poor were wrung.
lie opened the purse Of the wealthy.
We like the spring with H. hne fresh air;
We like the summer, with flowers 80 fair;
Q like the fruits we In autumn share.
And we like, too, old Winters greeting.
Ills touch "a cold, but hls heart is warm;
SO, though he brings to us snow and storm,
We look with a smile on hts well-worn form,
And ours isa gliUlsome meeting. s. s. Fisifor
