Grace in Little Things.

There is an old story of certain minister
who, in arranging his toilet for parochiai
calls, found a button gone from his shirt col
lar, and all at once the good mans patience
left him. He fretted and scolded, and said
undignified and unSind things, until the
tired wife burst into tears, and escaped to her
room. The hours of the afternoon wore
away, during which the Parson called Oh
old brother Jones, who was all bowed down
with rheumatism, and found him patient
and even cheerful upon young brother Hall
wasting away with the consumption, and
found him anxious to go and be with Christ
upon good old grandmother Smith, in her
poor, miserable hovel of home, and found
hersinging one of the good old hymns as
happy as bird; upon young Mrs. Brown,
who had few weeks before buried her only
child, and found her trustful and serene in
the view of Gods love which had come to
her atfiiction. The minister went home
filled with what he had seen, and when even
ing came, and he was seated in his easy
chair, his good wife near him busy with he.

wonderful thing grace is! How much il

all things" Then the the little wife said

The honest servant girl said that tie be-,

Temperance Testimonies.

In late message to the General
Assembly of North Carolina the
Governor referring to the liquor
traffic used these words, which
ought to be written in words Of fire
on the conscience. Of every man in
the State at this time. fl.a
"There is sold in the State an
other poison which numbers by the
thousands it's victims slain, de-
bauched, degraded, impoverished,
wrecked, or made miserable and
heart-broken." .Il &.
In sentencing murderer to death
Judge johnson, of California, made
use of the following language ::
''Nor shall the place be forgotten
in which occurred this shedding of
blood. 1t was in one of the thou
sand ante-chambers of hell which
mar, like plague-spots, the fair face of
our State. You need not be told
that l mean a tippling-shop-the
meeting-place of Satan's minions,
and the foul cesspoool which, by
spontaneous generation, breeds and
natures all that is loathsome and
disgusting in profanity, and vul-
garity and babbling, and Sabbath
breaking, I would not be the
owner of a GROCERY for the price
of this globe converted into pre-
cious ore, For the pitiful sum Of
dime he furnished the poison which
made the deceased a fool and this
trembling culprit demon. How
paltry a sum for the two human
lives! This traffic is tolerated by
law, and, therefore, the vender has
committed an offense not cogniza-
bic by earthly tribunals; but in
the sight of Him who is unerring
wisdom, he who deliberately fur
nishes the Intoxicating draught
which infames men into anger,
and violence, and bloodshed, is
particeps criminis in the moral tur-
pitude of the deed"

also commends 1t TO those whose presence
would be burden. The fact that Cairo is
easy Of approach from all parts of the
country causes that class Of humanity who
have no particular place they call home
and have no particular destination, or that
other class whose covert aim is to live by
public charity, whose home is everywhere
or anywhere, but always some distance from
where they happen to be and who are al
ways on their way there, but move on only
when they must-this undesirable class of
humanity is caused, by Cairo's many public
highways which are open all the year
round, to gravitate here naturally. This
would be so, even If there were no special
attraction. But there is already one great
attraction. When we say one, we ignore
the unbounded compassion, generosity, and
shall we say itl--gullibility, for which the
people of Cairo have become so notorious
among the "bohemians" suffering
tramps, of the country v, The one attraction
referred to is the hospital, which, under the
management of DIR. Carter and the sisters of
Loretto, has become popular. 1t is not an
uncommon thing that the authorities of

his way there, to come straight to Cairo, by
telling him that they have no place to keep
him, but that Cairo has, and they make up
nickle subscription and send him here.

guessed. The community would be overrun

A TRUTHFUL MAN.

A fIat-footed, old-fashioned Western meH-
chant, hailing from country store in Michi-
gan, was buying stock in New York recent
ly, and the firm took advantage of the oc-
casion to make inquiries concerning some
of their customers around him. When
they asked about Smith, of CashvilIe, he re-
piled;
"Smithi Yes, he in trade yet, but he's
Just married second wife, and she's going

"Jonesi Well, Jones is pegging along

bicycle, and everybody says hen go to the
wall in year."
"And Brown & son-are they all right?"
"Brown & SonP Well, they may keep
along till spring, but doubt it. Old Brown
has got so near-sighted that he can't tell a
sheep pelt from coon-skin, and the boy
is dead stuck on a widow woman who never
wears anything less than six-dOllar stock
ings."
"But Davis is doing good trade, isn't

ENGLIsH KISSES.

The women of England (says Polydors
virgil) not only salute their relations with
kiss, but all persons promiscously, and this
ceremony they repeat gently touching
them with the lips, not only with grace, but
without the least immodesty. Such, how
ever, as are of the blood-royal do not kiss
their interiors, bat offer the back of the
hand, as men do by saluting each other.
Erasmus writes In raptures to one OF his
friends on this subject. "Did you but
know, my Faustus," says he, "the pleasures
which England affords, you would fly helN
on winged feet, and If your gout would not
allow you, you would wish yourself a Dseda-
lus To mention to you one among many
things, here are nymphs of the loVellest
looks, good humored, easy Of access, and
whom you would prefer even to your favor
ite MUSES.. Here, also, prevails a custom
never enough to be commended-that
wherever you come every one receives you
with kiss, and when you take your leave
every one gives you hssj when you re-
turn, kisses again meet you, If any one
leaves you, they leave you with kiss; if
you meet any one, the first salutation is
kiss; In short, wherever you go, kisses
everywhere abound; which, my Faustua,
did you once taste how very sweet and how
very fragrant they are, you would not, Like
SoIon, wish for ten years exile in England,
but you would desire there to spend the
whole of your Ifs." Antonio Perez, Sec
rotary to the Embassy from Philip II. Of
Spain, writes thus to the Earl of Essex -
