blue Sky Somewhere"

Children are eloquent teachers
Many lesson which has done our
heart good have we learned from
their lisping lips. 1t was but the
other day another took root in the
memory. We were going to a pic
me, and of course the little ones had
been IN ecstacies for several DAYS
But the appointed morning broke
forth with no glad sunshine, no
song OF birds, 10 peals of mirth.
There was every prospect of rain
even hope hid her face and wept,
"Shan't we go, mother?" ex-
claimed a child of five, with pas
slonate earnestness.

"But when will it clear off?r
"Oh, look out for the blue skv!n
And so he did, poor little fellow.
but never bit of blue sky gladden.
ed his eyes.
We'll, | do not care. mother"
said he, when the tedious day had
numbered all its hours, ''if | have
not seen it, know there is blue sky
somewhere"
The next morning there was blue
sky, such as only greets us after a
storm.
There, mother, didn't l tell you
sop cried a little voice; "there is
blue sky" Then the little head
bowed for a moment in silent
thought.
Mother" exclaimed the child,
when he again looked up, "there
must have been blue sky all day
yesterday, though | never saw a
bit of it, cause you see there amt
no places where it could have gone
to. God only covered it up with
clouds, didn't he? ?"

DR.. Livingstone, the African
traveller, once said in speech at
Cambridge, "People talk of the
sacrifice [ have made in spending
so much of my life in Africa. Can
that be called sacrifice which SIM
ply paid back as small part of a
great debt owing to our God, which
we can never repay? Is that a sac
rifce which brings it's own blest re-
ward in healthful activity, the
consciousness of doing good, peace
of mind, and bright hope Of a glo-
rious destiny hereafter? Away with
the word in such view and with
such a thought 1t is emphatically
no sacrifice. Say, rather, 1t is
privilege"

The Bar.

the choicest liquors. "-HoteL Aduer-

And I rather suspect from the devili it came.

A bar to the sending of children to school,
To clothing and giving them good education

A bar to the welfare of family and nation!
A bar to the hallowed enjoyments of home,
A bar to the hottest earthly fruition;
A bar that forbids its frequenters to come
To the goal and rewards of virtuous ambi-

A bar to integrity, honor and fame,
To friendship, and peace, and connubial

The First Thing to Teach.

From amenities of Home" in Appleton's
Home Series.
The first thing which should be-
taught a child is obedience, and
after that should come reverence.
1t is very hard to teach an Amer
lean child reverence. His parents
must be people Of remarkable force
of character if they succeed in doing
so, for the whole tendency of our
free institutions are against him.
The Declaration of independence
arrays itself with it's "glittering
generalities" against this first eff
fort Of home training.
The newly arrived foreigner in
his might, majestic through num-
bers. defeats the idea for he soon
learns, as the beginning Of his po-
litical career, that his vote is as
good as his master's-perhaps bet
ter. Thus the good old relation
between master and servant, of re-
spect on one hand and help on the
other-the best relation for the ben
eft of home-is uprooted at once.
Almost the first impression on a
young child's mind is of the inso-
lence of his nurse to his mother.
He sees that her orders are not
obeyed, that she is powerless to en-
force them. He hears the nurse
speak to her in loud, arrogant, def
ant tones. He often sees his moth
er, before powerful and strong ell
Derby nurse, paralyzed with fear for
if she deems that her childs com
fort and welfare are at stake, if she
believes that the nurse knows more
than she does, she will endure inso-
lence to herself and sort of as
sumption on the part of the nurse
of an authority which should never
be delegated

The Little Hand UnclaSped.
BY REV! F. B. CARROLL.

Nothing could induce little Willie
to surrender the paper of bright
steel buttons just bought to go on
his new dress. His little fingers
would tarnish them, but any effort
to take them away was answered
with shower of tears. Tired and
sleepy he lay down on my lap, his
little hands clasping the new
bought treasure. What was it
the feeling Of beauty, which made
the bright buttons please him-or
the incipient desire Of property,
which in the grown man so often
npens into the baneful passion of
ayarice.
But soon his cares were gone and
all all his childish wishes fed-he
had fallen sound alseep, and | look
ed down and saw the little hand
unclasped, and the bright treasure
50 highly priced lay loose between
his limp fingers. What type, I
thought, Of this worlds grown-up
children! Dazzled by the bauble of
tame or the glittering prize of
wealth, and swayed by the power
tul passion of ambition and avarice,
they clutch the treasure with a
clasp that will not yield, until at
last they fall asleep, and their fin
gers unclasp, and all the shining
treasures slip away. But the mo-
ment Willie woke he called for the
same treasure his sleep made him
forget, and of this, were his dreams
perhaps, if dreams he had in his
soft slumbers.
VIII it be otherwise when we
lalL asleep in the sunset of this
snort life. Death will unclasp the
nand and let the treasure slip away,
out the love of that treasure it can
not destroy. What then if that
treasure be such as we cannot take
away, the desire, the heartache
VIII remain, the treasure will be
gone, and we shall ask for it, and
long Tor its possession, and want
ana al longing shall, asthirst, distress
sne soul forever. But if we make
ouT treasure now the treasure that
WIN be there-then when we fall
asleep on our Fathers arm, and
wake wake again, we may ask for the
same o"ille prize we sought and loved on
IIGIVh-the treasure laid up in

Tables, and cannot be assessed for more.
EXAMPLE.
Take our assessment on certificate ofSl250;

A Huge Concern.

The manufacturers of the Genuine
| singer Machine state these facts !:
That they employ forty thousand
persons and forty thousand horses.
Have their own steamboat and loco
motive transporting machines and
material between New YORK and
their immense factory at Elizabeth,
Nj. The total estimate of offices
throughout the world is over four
thousand five hundred. Their fac
tory covers an area of thirteen acres
of ground, and every square foot
is daily used. The boxing and
Grating shop alone cut three hun
dred thousand feet of lumber per
month for boxing and Grating ma
chimes. To drive the machinery in
this enormous affair six stationary
engines are required, which have the
combined strength of one thousand
horse power. -Four hundred men
are employed in the foundry, which
melts up sixty tons of iron every day
in the week. Just imagine two
acre field filed every day with cast
ings for sewing machines. The ne
cessity for this great factory is the
constant demand for the Genuine
Singer machine, as the following will
show: In the year 1878 three-quar.
tiers of all the machines sold through
out the world were Genuine Singers,
and the following year they increas-
ed their sales over one hundred and
irty.elght thousand, and during
the year 1880 they sold over half a
million Genuine Singer Machines.
Still the demand is greater than the
supply, as subordinate Offices often
have to wait for machines. To those
who contemplate buying we would
say: Be on the safe side and buy
the Genuine Singer, and don't be
humbugged with some new kind of
machine that has lately come out,
and has no reputation or merit,what-
ever. fyou wish Genuine Singer
mo Bogus call on or address /. w.
Slonaker, Oakland, Md, who is agent
for this world renowned Sewing
Machine.
N. B. Singer agents will adjust
the Singer Machine wherever they
find it, free of charge, regardless of
the time it has been in use.
