WALKING WITH GoD.-The difficult
ty which most people have in religion
is TO bring the thought of God into Their
daily lives. His very greatness makes
it hard to connect Him with homely,
everyday matters. We get some sense
of Him in the church, or in the prayer
meeting, or in rare hours of exalted
feeling. But when we go into the busy
world, where most of orr life is spent,
God fades away into a heaven that is
farther off than the blue sky above our
heads. This is great loss to us. 1t is
neglect on our part of our highest OPP
pOrtunity. God walks with us in closest
nearness, at every moment. There is in
Him, if we could learn TO take it, pro-
vision of helpfulness, of sympathy, OF
sufficiency, for every step in the whole
round of our daily life. The very things
that seem insignificant and without
spiritual meaning, are set around us by
God as part of our education; and i
we habitually recognize His presence il
them all, the incidents of business, ant
our household care and daily walk will
become threads of gold, holding us il
the sweetest, nOblest friendship with on
Heavenly Father.-Eaynest Worker.

How to Avoid Bad Habits.

Nearly all the disagleeable habits
which people take up, come from mere
accident or want of thought. They
might he easily dropped, but they are
persisted in until they become second
nature. Stop and think before you al
low yourself to form them. They are
disagreeable habits of body, like scOwl-
ing, winking, twisting the mouth, biting
the nails, continually picking at some
thing, twirling key, or fumbing at
IL chain, drumming With the fingers,
screwing or twisting chair, or what
ever you can lay your hand on. Don't
do any of these things. Learn to sit
quietly, like a-gentleman, was going
to say, but Pm afIaid even girls fall
into such tricks sometimes. There are
much worse habits than these to he
sure but we are only speaking of very
little things that are only annoying
when they are persisted in, There are
habits of speech also, such as beginning
every speech with, "you see" or lyon
know "nOw-a," "why-a," 81 don't
care" ''tell ye what "tell ye now,''
indistinct utteranGe, sharp nasal tones,
Il slow draw, avoid them all, Stop
and think what you wish to say, and
then let every word drop from your lips
just as smooth and perfect as new
silver coin. Have care about youl
ways of sitting, and standing, and walk
ing. Before you know it, you will find
your habits have hardened into Il coat
of mail that you cOnnOt get rid of with
ont terrible effort.

Breathing Gymnastics.

The Importance of breathing plenti-
fully of fresh air as an essential of health
is generally admitted. Well ventilated
rooms, open air exercise and excursions
into the country are appreciated to
some extent by all classes. But the
art of breathing is very much over
looked. Being a process not depend
ing on the will for its exercise, it is too
much left to the mere call of nature.
1t is, however, an act which can be in
tiuenced very materially by the will.
Properly trained singers are taught to
attend very carefully to their breath
ing. When brisk muscular exercise is
taken, breathing is naturally active
without any special effort. But when
the body is at rest or engaged in occu-
patton requiring a confined posture,
and especially when the mind is alb
sOrbed in thought, the breathing natu-
rally becomes diminished and the action
of the lungs slow and feeble. AS a
remedy for this, it has been suggested
that there is room for what might be
ttly termed breath gymnastics-to draw
in long and full breaths, filling the
lungs full at every inspiration, and
emptying them as completely as posi-
BILE at every expiration and to acquire
the habit of full breathing at times. This
mode of breathing has direct effect in
supplying the largest possible amount
of oxygen to the blood and more
thoroughly consuming the carbon and
SO producing animal heat 1t has also
the very important effect of expanding
the chest and so contributing to the
vlgor OF the system. The breath should
be inhaled by the nostrils as well as by
the mouth, more especially while Out
of doors and in cold weather. This
has partly the effect of respirator in
SO far as warming the air in its passage
to the delicate air cells and in also rem.
/ derlng one less liable to catch cold
This full respiration is of so much i'm.
portance that no proper substitute is to
be found for it in short through NOR,
rapid breathing. In short breathing 6
large portion of the air cells remain
nearly stationary, the upper portion o
the lungs only being engaged in re

A SLOW TRAIN.-We are frequently
indebted to our friend, Col. Yard, of the
Monmouth Democrat, for anecdotes
illustrative of the character of the pc
culiar people who live i'll New Jersey.
He sends us this:
The Hon. g. T tells Il good story
of slow railroad in the northern part
of the state. He says he went there
cunning, and came to shOIt line of
road Oh which was run il single car, the
forward end of which was partitioned
off for baggage. He took his dog in the
ear with him, and put him under the
seat. Presently the conductor came
along, and insisted that the dog should
go into the baggage room, which after
some alteration was done; but here
the baggage master demanded u fee of
fifty cents, which was denounced as Il
''swIndle,n IL ''put-up job between the
conductor and the baggage master, and
that sooner than pay il he would tie the
dog to the train and let him ''wOrk his
passage" The conductor assented, and
the dog was hitched to the rear of the
train. The dog, so r says, kept
along easily with the train, but the con-
ductor began to get uneasy, making
frequent trips to the engineer, urging
him to increase the speed of the train,
and back again to watch the effect upon
The dog. The latter began to show signs
of fatigue, but after a while caught his
second wind" and was keeping along
us before. The conductor now ordered
the engineer to heaye all the coal into
the furnace and stir up the fire, which
being done, the speed was perceptibly
increased. The conductor again went
TO the rear of the car to observe the eff
feet, but the dog had disappeared,
whereupon he triumphantly called
rs attention to the fact. The lat
ter, after taking glance at the situa-
ton, quietly pointed to IA crack in the
floor of the car, land there" says he,
was the dog, comfortably trotting
along under the car, aud licking the
grease from one Of the ARIEL ores. - Ed

THE SABBATH.-I am more and more
sure by experience that the reason for
the observance of the Sabbath lies deep
in the everlasting necessities of human
nature, and that az long us man is man,
the blessedness of keeping it, not as Il
day of rest, only, but us day Of spirit
ual rest, will never be anuulled. | Ger
tainly do feel by experience the eternal
obligation, because of the eternal ne
ceSsity of the Sabbath. The soul with
ers without it. 1t thrives in proportion
TO its observance. The Sabbath was
made for man. God made it for men in
a certain spiritual state, because they
needed it. The need, therefore, is deep
ly hidden in human nature. He who
can dispense with it must be holy and
spiritual indeed. He who, still unholy
and unspiritual, would yet dispense
with it, is man that would fain be
wiser than his Maker. We, Christians
as we are, still need the law, both in its
restraints and its aid to our weakness

ARE You THERE, MOTHER "A moth
er, busy with her household cares was
obliged to go into an upper room, and
leave two little ones alone for some
time. So she gave them books and toys
to amuse them, which answered very
well for time. But by-and-by the
house seemed to grow so still and lone
some, they began to feel afraid. So the
eldest went to the foot of the staircase,
and, calling with timid voice, said:
mamma, are you there 7"
eyes, darling" said the mother,
cheerily.
"All right, them" said the little one,
more to herself than to her mother. So
she went back to her plays for time.

result.

TABLE ETIQUETTE.-Split IA biscuit
with your fingers, instead of opening it
with knife like an oyster. If the bis
cuit be hard, beetle and wedge are
admissible in the best society.
Do not pick your teeth at the table.
Pick them ut the dentists, if he has II
good assortment to pick from.
Salt should never be put on the table
cloth, but on the side of your plate. If,
however, you want to pickle the table
cloth in brine, You must pnt salt on 1T,
of course. A barrel of salt fable cloth
would come in play should your pork
give out during the winter.
When asked what part of the fowl
you prefer, answer promptly. If you
want the whole of it, don't hesitate to
say so.
Never leave the table till all are
through without sufficient excuse. The
sudden entrance of policeman with Il
warrant for your arrest, is generally
considered sufficient excuse i'll polite
circles.
Pay no attention to accidents or
plumbers on the part of servants. If
Bridget blows herself up while encour-
aging the fire with kerosene, keep right

Never help yourselfto articles of food

The Teachers Influence During the
Week.
BY C. NJ. EAMES.

When Sunday school teachers appre-
ciate the fact that little ears and eyes
are as wide open during the other days
of the week as upon Sunday, and that
the life teachings are really as potential
as the class instruction., then will we
begin to reach our ideal in Sunday
school work. The model teacher con-
tinues his work seven days of the week.
He does not feel that with the teaching
of purity, charity, truthfulness and the
like, his mission ends; but he expects
his pupils to look to his daily life and
personal habits for an exemplitication
of the principles taught. Think you Il
lesson of temperance could be impressed
upon an intelligent boy who had seen
his teacher emerge from beer saloon
with cigar in his mouth on the pre-
vious day p? How would the thought
full girl judge OF the sincerity of the in
structress who urged benevolence, but
who wore very fine clothes, and never
put penny into the mission-box 7
None are quicker than children to notice
the Inconsistencies of those who are
showing them the way of life. The
scholars must respect before they will
be influenced.
A young man about to be ordained
for the ministry acknowledged that at
one time he was nearly an infidel. "But,'
said he, 'there was one argument in ia
vor of Christianity which 1 could never
refute-the consistent conduct of my
father" On the other hand, prOtessed
Christian, at home, went into theatre
when i'm Il distant city. Years afterward
he was sent for to visit dying man,
who charged him with the ruin of his
soul. He had seen his Sunday school
superintendent go to the playhouse
had followed, been fascinated, become
hardened, and now lay dying, hopeless.
Even the personal habits, such as
neatness of dress, use of slang, etc, are
quickly noticed The great aim of the
Sunday school is the formation of char
acter; and some one has well said, by
the influence of early impressions, the
force of example, and the power of
habit, the character becomes slowly and
mperceptibly, but at length decidedly
formed."-,S. s. Times.

trying to let down the window, he
throws down his paper, takes off his
hat, bows himself double, smiles clear
