Finding" Girl" in the Bible.

An English town missionary. a short
time ago, related a remarkable incident,
There was lodging house in his dis.
trict, which he had long desired to en-.
ter, but was deferred from so doing bv
his friend, who feared that his life
would be thereby endangered. He be.
came at length SO uneasy that he deter.
mined to risk all consequences and try
to gain admission. So one day he gave
o somewhat timid knock at the door, in
response to which coarse voice reared
out, Who's there ?" and at the same
moment vicious looking woman
opened the door, and ordered the man
of God away.
Let him come in, and see who he is
and what he wants." growled out the
same voice. The missionary walked in,
and bowling politely to the rough.look-
ing man whom he had just heard speak,
said:
~ have been visiting most of the
houses in this neighborhood to read
with and talk to the people about good
things. l have passed your door as
long as I feel ought, for wish to talk
with you and your dodgers"
Are you what is called town mis-
sionary?"
~ am, sir,' was the reply.
"Well, them" said the tierce.looking
man, "sit down and hear what am 20
ing to say. 1 will ask you a question
cut of the Bible. If you answer me
right you may call at this house and
read and pray with US or our dodgers as
often as you like; if you do not answer
me right we will tear your clothes off
your back and tumble you neck and
heels into the street. Now, what do
you say to that for I am man Of my
word"
The missionary was perplexed, but
at length quietly said:
L will try"
Well, then," said the man, "here
goes. Is the word "girl" in any part of
the Bible? If so, where is it to be
found, and how often? That is my
question"
Well, sir, the word girl is in the
Bible, but only once, and may be found
in the words of the Prophet Joel, iii, 3.
The words are, And sold girl for
wine, that they might drink"
Well, replied the man; "I'm dead
beat; l burst to have bet five pounds
you could not have told"
"And could not have told yester-
day." said the the visitor. For se Jeral
days have been praying that the Lord
would open me way into this house,
and this very morning, when reading
the Scriptures to my family, was sur.
prised to find the word girl. and got the
Concordance to see if it occurred again,
and found it did not. And now, sir, l
believe that God did know and does
know what will come to pass, and sure
ly his hand is in this for my protection
and your good"
The whole of the inmates were great
ly surprised. and the incident has been
over-ruled to the conversion of the
man, his wife and two of the dodgers.

Beauty Everywhere.

We all of us, in q great measure,
create our own happiness, which is not
half 80 dependent upon scenes and cir
cumstances us most people are apt to
imagine; and so it is with beauty. Ma
ture does little more than furnish us
with the materials of both, leaving us
to work them out for ourselves. Stars
and flowers, and hills, and woods, and
streams, are letters and words, and
voices, vehicles, and missionaries, but
they need not be interpreted in the
right spirit. We must read and listen
for them, and profit by them. And
when we look around us upon earth,
we must not forget to look upward to
Heaven. "Those who can see God in
everything" writes popular author,
ARE sure to see good i'll everything"
We may add with truth, that they are
also sure to see beauty in everything
and everywhere. When we are at peace
with ourselves and the world, it is as
Though we gazed upon outward things
through golden-tinted glass, and saw
a glory resting upon them all. We
know that it cannot be long thus; sin,
and sorrow, and binding tears, will
dim the mirror of our Utmost thoughts,
but we must pray, and look again, and
by and by the cloud will pass away.
There is beauty everywhere, but it re-
quires to be sought, and the seeker
after it is sure to find it; it may be in
some out-of-the-way place, where no
one else would think OF looking. Beau
ty is fairy sometimes she hides her
self in flower cup, or under leaf, or
creeps into the old ivy, and plays hide
and seek with the sunbeams, or haunts
some ruined spot, or laughs out OF a
bright young face. Sometimes she
takes the form of bright cloud, and
goes dancing over the green fields, or
the deep, blue sea, where her misty
form, marked out IN momentary dark.
ness, looks like the passing shadow OF
an angels wing. Beauty is coquette,
and weaves herself robe OF various
hues, according to the season-and 1t Is
hard to say which is the most becoming.

HOP YEAST. Boil two ounces of hops
in two quarts of water. Pare and boil
one dozen large potatoes; rub them
through colander and add the water
strained from the hops; stir in sufficient
scalded corn meal to form a thick bat
ter. After this has become nearly cold
add half pint of good yeast and set to
rise in a war m place. This yeast will
keep for several weeks; but if desirable
may be thickened with unscalded meal,
rolled out and cut into cakes, which, ii
dried quickly, will keep much longer.
BRoILED OYSTERS. - Choose large,
fat oysters; wipe them very dry;
sprinkle them with salt and pepper, and
bloil upon one of the gridirons with
close bars, sold for the purpose; you
can dredge the oysters with flour If you
wish to have them brown, and many
persons fancy the juices are better pre-
served in that way; butter the gridiron
well and let your fire be hot and clear;
broil quickly and dish hot, putting a
bit of outer upon each oyster as 1t IS
taken from the gridiron.

Treatment of Servants.

During Queen Victorias recent So
lourn in the Highlands, John Grant,
an old servant, died. Not only was the
Queen attentive and kind during his
illness, but the return of the court to
Windsor was delayed for three or four
days until after the funeral, that due
respect might be shown to his memory.
The Queen has always given careful
and womanly consideration to the hum
BILE friends that serve her. In her
journal in the Highlands she mentions
meal which on an emergency "our
good Jane brought to them, as CRATE
fully as she does the loyal demonstra-
tions of great provinces. The death of
another faithful servant is recorded
with sincere grief. "Albert could not
speak for tears when he heard of it,"
How different this is from the habit
ual treatment of domestics in many
families, otherwise gentle and refined
in their manners. There are house.
holds in which the children are trained
to behave in a well-bred and even
Christian manner to every other class
but TO those who serve them. They are
respectful to their elders, courteous to
strangers; they are taught to feel
kindly charity for the poor and the
heather, but they address the woman
who cooks for them or the man who
stands behind their chair as though
they were machines or made of different
clay from themselves.
II never" said one of the most bril-
liant women of society that America
has ever produced, "can think of my
servants as chambermaids or footmen.
They are human and near to me from
the first moment l see them. I must
know all about their homes, their chill
dren; 1 must help Ann bring her old
mother from Ireland, or keep James
from drinking" When this woman
died, hundreds of these poor friends of
hers stood around her grave.
The Lsst way to cure such foolish
pride, boys and girls, if you find it in
yourselves, is to remember that Jesus
Himself was the son of a woman poorer
than those you despise, and that He
chose to love and work among that
class.

SOAP the best ever tried for toilet

readily removes impurities from

with it.

THE BEST soap for toilet use
ever manufactured. BEST because
it contains all the excellencies Of
the most expensive foreign or
American soaps without their de-
fects. BEST because it combines
strength with delicacy in such q
way that its strong defensive quail
ties do not injure the skin. BEST
because it is the result Of years of
study and experiment in the soap
manufacturing business, assisted
by modern chemical discoveries.
BEST because it contains ingredi-
ents beneficial to the skin, which
unite chemically with the soap
in such manner as to increase
its saponaceous qualities. Every
chemist familiar with soap manu-
facture knows that some ingredt-
ents which are in themselves bene-
fetal to the skin cannot be saponi-
fed ; some are partially neutralized,
while others injure the quality of
the soap. There are soaps in the
market which are to some extent
beneficial to the skin, but they are
inferior articles for toilet use.
PHOSPHATE SOAP is the ONLY
article offered to the public which
combines all the best elements Of
toilet soap with medical ingredi-
ents beneficial to the skin.
