Snarls.

Little Mary wanted to have. something
tied up one day, but the string got "all
in snarl'' for her. She pulled at the
tangled places, but the more she tugged
the tighter they became. At last She
gave it to me to fix" Gently picking
at the knots, soon loosened them, and
the string came out of its tangle nicely.
Little folks get into snarls sometimes
Somebody does not do something Just as
they wish, or things go a little wrong
about work or play. Now, at such times
it will not do to pull and tug and jerk
and scold or call hard names. Impa-
thence only makes the matter worse. Be
gentle, speak softly, keep your temper,
and all such snarls will be apt to straight
en- out nicely-S s. Advocate.

She says that you asked her to 20 out
and see a mountain IN South africa bird
in the group Of islands south of Florida
tree, and while she was standing on tip
toe to look at the bird, you snatched her
mountain IN Oregon, and ran away with
it. Is this true?"
Cape on the eastern coast of Virginia
hung his head, and made no reply.
Where did you put it?' asked a citq
IN the northwestern part of Georgia,
sternly.
81 threw it into the city IN the NORTH
aOest of Missouri tree. l only meant to a
rjver IN England her little, but when ]
went to look for it afterward I could not
find it,"
"The mountain IN Oregon must be
found. 1t is too late for you to 90 to-
night, but tomorrow you must find it OF
be severely punished I wish you could
feel how unmanly your conduct is.
Cape on the east Of Virginia turned
away, thoroughly ashamed of himself, and
went to his room. The next morning
before it was fairly light he was up ano
on his way to find the missing mountain
IN oregon Just as he reached the groa1

great work of spiritualizing them is left
to poor helpless young women, referring
to the women of the Salvation Army
God knows they do their best, and 1 pray
God to bless them. Their intention is
good, and it ought to overwhelm with
shame and confusion of face the great
spiritual army of the great Church of
England, who receive all the spiritual
pay, :. e., the Archbishops, the Bishops,
the Archdeacons, the Cannons, the Rec

Willie's First Oath.

A little boy came in from school the
other day looking very unhappy. Was
he hurt? No. Had he been in mischief?
No. What was the matter with Willie?
He had hardly spoken at supper time,
and ate very little. His mother asked
him again: Willie, what ails you, dear?"
" Mother, 1 swore. The moment I spoke
it / was afraid of God and ran home.
Will God ever forgive me for taking his
name in vain? I'd rather be dumb all
my life than be a swearer," said Willie.

Here was singular case; boy could
read and spell without book or master
But what was the fact2 Why, another
little sweep, little older than himself,
had taught him to read by showing him
the letters over the shop-doors which they
passed as they went through the city.
His teacher, then, was another little
sweep like himself, and his book the sign
boards on the houses. What may not
