The Truth IN A LEGEND.-There is a
legend of vessel approaching coast where
powerful magnet lay hidden in a noun
tain's heart. As it slowly came within reach
of the magnets strength, the iron bolts, as
if by magic, were drawn from their timbers
and the vessel went to pieces. The craft of
skeptical science-bolted together with de-
mails of present God in nature-cannot
find anchorage on any shore of human life
for every shore holds invisibly the magnet of
a moral consciousness strong enough to
draw the bolts which argument could not
break.--Interior.

You may bind bird with soft silken
cord, and while he remains still he will not
be sensible of his confinement; but as soou
as he attempts to fly he will feel the cord
that confines him and the greater his de

sible will he be of his bondage. So til,
sinner may long be slave to his sins, aud
never be aware of it till he rises to go Il

Among the attractions of New Jersey-and
they are many, although it is said no man
has ever been found brave enough to own
he was born there-are the ornamental par
terres around the railway stations, and the
beautiful grounds belonging to the railway
officials the stock " of these roads being,
of course, below par. This exhibition of
taste and beauty has in many cases awak-
ened desire upon the part of the inhabi-
tante TO have the whole village correspond,
and thus societies for village improvement
have been formed, where a small amount of
money, accompanied by large amount of
enthusiasm, and of course some actual labor,
has produced most happy results Dilapi-
dated buildings are repaired, broken side
walks made whole, crooked paths straight
ened, parks renovated, churchyards orna-
mented, days appointed for trees to be
planted-indeed, everything that would add
to the beauty of country village is taken
into consideration, and marvellous changes
are brought about. One method for raising
funds and enthusiasm has been TO organize
lyceum or some other literary entertain
ment, where the attractions are music, read
ing, lectures, ETC., and the proceeds are de-
voted to "village improvement" Why
cannot these societies be extended to New
England Spring-time has come, and few
days of activity on the part of few earnest
workers would cause the villages among the
mountains to blossom as the rose new
plank sidewalk, new rail on public fence,
new fountain in park, or gravel walk
around it, would change not exactly the
face of nature" but the general appear
ance of a village, so that it would not only
be a satisfaction and delight to the resident
thereof, but very tempting to the eye of the
tired denizen of the city, who is perhaps
seeking a refuge in its peaceful quiet from
the heat and clamor and din and distrac
tion of some modern Babylon.
Who will be the first to start the " So
ciety for Village Improvement in his

Der shoes by far the best. Tack the carpet
neatly at one end, and then begin with the
nev rubbers on and wdk it up to the other
end with little kicking step which will
come quite easy after little practice. When
the end is reached, stoop with the feet firm
on the carpet, and put in the tacks. If the
housekeeper has good stout husband tc
wear the shoes and do the " walking up,
while she puts down the tacks, it helps won

and it is very possible he won't growl once
because it is all so easy and simple. These
stretchers will answer for any carpet, from

one lovely day in Spring, and, struck with
the beauty of landscape, observed to a lit

everything so bright to-day 7" "Oh, sir, .
said she, mamma has been washing the
windows T" The child had hit unconsciously
upon truth, for the world really has a
brighter aspect if we gaze upon it through
clean windows. Let us keep ours clean by
frequent washings and polishings. And
don't let us forget the soul-windows, too

in speaking OF the same thing, told me that
