SAYS the st. Louis Journal; "When a
man casually sits down on a lowly humble
bees nest reason urges him to sit there till
he has squashed the animation out of the
yindictive occupants, but instinct warns him
to keep an important engagement elsewhere,
This is one of those occasions when instinct
invariably gets the better Of reason"

Oversight Of College Boys.

There may be colleges, but they are few,
which are overgoverned by masters who
look as wise as Solomon, but whose judg-
ments are not just so wise as his were. In
some places there may be harsh repression
OF natural impulses, and an intermeddling
with ioyousness and playfulness. | have

What Career for the Negro! !

The great hindrance TO the progress OF the
colored race is the prevalent belief that the
negro never can, the prevalent hope that he
never will, and the very common fear that
he may, rise above the condition of SER
want or a serf. 1t is this which checks and
modifies efforts for his education and OPP
crates as terrible incubus upon him. We
encourage and stimulate our white students
by reminding them of the great responsible
ties they are soon TO bear in state and church
and the business world, and Of the honors
and emoluments they may hope for if they
are faithful. Such considerations are their
inspiration and support in the long and
weary course of their education. Shall we
hang on the neck of the colored youth, who
is buffeting the waves of prejudice and de-
preston threatening 10 overwhelm him, the
leaden weight of an assurance that neiUher
he nor any of his race can ever become egis'
lators, lawyers, doctors, professors, Jurors,
engineers, architects, artists, or anything else
involving authority or much responsibility
so long as they remain in their native land
Shall we say TO them, g. BY other pursuits

Household Furniture.

Experience tells us that furniture will be
more likely 10 prove satisfactory If simple
and graceful, rather than elaborate and ex-
travagant in design. There is no economy
in buying inferior, ill-inade articles because
they are cheap. They will either get to look
shabby or will need repair in very short
time, and, in the end, will prove the more
expensive. All articles of furniture should,
in size and shape be suited to their posi-
ton and surroundings-should be adapted
to the special purpose to which they are TO
applied-and thtv should harmonize well
with each other Excepting in very large
rooms, or in conformity with a fixed idea,
large patterns, extravagant designs, and
striking colors, should be avoided. Subdued
(but not dingy) colors and small patterns
are much safer than large masses Of color,
and the brightness of the room should de-
pend rather upon the table-covers, books,
flowers, and other ornaments, than upon the
color of the carpets and curtains Large
furniture is out of place in small room /;
slight, spare furniture is not suited to large
room. The designs for carpets and floor
cloths should be adapted for horizontal sur
faces and for being trodden on. In din
ing-room the patterns and colors should be
rich, deep, and warm. In drawing-room
they should be light and delicate. When
the rooms have a northerly aspect, the col
ors in the dining-room should not be too
dark or sombre; in the drawing-room they
should not be cold. Bedrooms should be
bright, airy, and CHEEKY. In all the rooms
the furniture should not be too much
crowded, and stiffness should be avoided as
much as possible.-Seiected.

Students for the Ministry.

Students for the ministry, did | say 7 Let
there be students in the ministry. What in
tense and tireless energy works the brain of
Mr. Cook What rigid application and in
cessant toll characterize the habits of Edi-
son Mental power means patient and per-
sistent thought. Genius is the triumph Of
labor. No man can preach who thinks his
education is finished. The course at college
and the seminary is only elementary. The
higher departments are not fully entered
until man is forty-five. Mentally, as well
as physically, a man is not at his best before
that age Many sophomores are Older, few
seniors are younger. Out Of long line Of
thinkers only a few have graduated with
honors. A mans solid education covers O
much longer period than is commonly sup
posed, but it also commences much earlier
Habits of thought constitute the best mrt oI
| education, and these are formed mainly dur
ing the first ten years. If the Trainings su
periical then it is rarely corrected after
wards. Many preachers are more than hal
made before they leave the primary depart
ment OF the common school, but many NOR
are utterly spoiled. If We have superficial
education the fault is not entirely in the col
lege. If we have superficial preachers tn
blame should not attach TO the seminar.

Who Are Old Maids Z

Never be afraid of becoming an cold
maid" fair reader. An old maid is far
more honorable than heartless wife, and
"single blessedness is greatly superior in
point of happiness to welded life without
love. "Fall not in love, dear girls, beware"
says the song. But we do not agree with
the song on this question. On the contrary,
we hold that it is a good thing to fall in
love, if the loved object be worthy one.
To fall in love with an honorable man is as
proper as it is for an honorable man to fall
in love with virtuous and amiable woman
and what could be more gratifying spec
tacle, even to the angels in heaven, than a
sight so pure-so approaching in its devo-
ton to the celestial? No, fall in love as
soon as you please, ladies, provided it be
with suitable person. Fall in love, and
then marry but never marry unless you do
love. That's the great point. Never marry
Never degrade yourself by becoming party
to such an alliance. Never sell yourself,
body and soul, on terms so contemplate.
Love dignifes all things, it ennobles all
conditions. With love the marriage rite is
truly sacrament. Without it the ceremony
is base fraud, and the act human desc
Grafton. Marry for love or not at all. BE
an "old maid if fortune throws not in youi
way the man of your heart; and though
the witless may sneer, and the jester may
laugh, you will still have your reward in an
approving conscience and a comparatively
peaceful life.
