A sharp Trick

Sharpers and chevaliers dindustrie have
various tricks for taking in the unsuspect-
ing and the memory. There is gang of
"rustlers' in the city now playing their vo-
cation OF rascality, One of their games is
for two of the party, man and woman, to
dress up like country people and sauntering
along the street, to stop in front of u show
window and be deeply engrossed gazing at
the contents. The man has an umbrella
under his arm, the end against the window
pane. Another one of the gang comes
along with a rush and striking the end of
the umbrella, jobs out the window pane
which falls with crash. He hurries
oil, but the old man and wo.
man stand still and lament. The
shop owner comes out and demands nav
for his window pane. The old man protests
that he did not do il and the old woman
wrings her hands and laments, but the
shop-keeper wants his money. The old
man, the personiication of honesty and
honor, rather than that the shop Keeper
should be the loser by mishap of which
he indirectly is responsible, will pay him
and hands him a so bill The shop. keeper
gives the old man Sl7 in good money,
charging him SO for the window pane,
When he goes to bank with his money in
the evening the shep-keeper finds thai his
SO Is counterfeit and then he curses in
his heart the honest old man, and too late
smells q large-sized rat. The gang is here,
and they have in their repertoire number
of just such tricks rs this one, so keep your
eyes open, everybody.

The Lord s Prayer.

Do you ever think, short though
it is. how much there is in it 2 Oh !!
it is beautiful. Like diamond in
the crown of queen, it unites a
thousand sparkling gems in one. It
teaches all of us, every one of us, to
look to God as our parents-Our
Father.
1t prompts us to rise our thoughts
and desires above earth-Who art
in Heaven.
1t tells us that we must reverence
our Heavenly Fatber-Hallowed be
Thy name.
1t breathes the saints reward
Thy kingdom come.
And a submissive, obedient spirit
Thy will be done on earth as it is
in Heaven.
And a dependent, trusting spirit
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgiving spirit-Forgiying
us our trespasses as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And cautious spirit-Deliyer us
from evil.
And last of all, an adoring spirit
For thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory, for ever and
ever. Amen.

SATURDAY NIGHT.

Placing the little hats all in row,
Ready for church on the morrow, you
know;
Washing wee faces and little black fists,
Getting them ready and fit to be kissed ;
Putting them into clean garments and
white,
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
Spying out holes in the little worn hose.
Laying by shoes that are worn through the
toes;
Looking 0 ser garment SO faded and thin
Who but mother knows where to begin :?
Changing button to make it look right
That is what mothers are doing tonight
Calling the little ones all round her chair,
Hearing them lisp forth their soft evening
prayer
Telling them stories of Jesus Of old
The Shepherd who gathers the lambs to
His fold.
Creeping so softly to take last peep,
Silence the last token of childhood S first
sleep
Anxious to know if the dear ones are
warm,
Tucking the little blankets round each
little form;
Kissing each little face rosy and bright
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
Kneeling down gently beside the white
bed,
Lowry and meekly bowling her head;
Praying as only mother can pray,
F." God guide and keep them from going
astray !"
Angels are telling with angels delight,
That is what mothers are doing tonight.

The Antiquity Of Weaving.

The earliest records of the art of
weaving are to be found in the Old
Testament. Pharaoh arrayed Jo-
seph in "vestures of fine linen,v and
Job lamented that his days were
swifter than the weaver's shuttle,
the use of the smile providing that
the shuttle was a common and well
known object at the time. Portions
of woven cloth and a weaver's shut
tie have been found among the re-
mains of the Lake dwellings,, and as
the latter are believed to belong to
the stone age, the origin of the art
may possibly have been nearly COIN
cident with the existence of man.
Few, If any savage races, have been
discovered altogether ignorant Of
the art, and many of them have
brought it to a considerable degree
of perfection while the relics of the
ancient Peruvians and Egyptians
show that they were skilled weayers.
Some fragments of Egyptian cloth
were found on examination to be
woven with threads of about 100
hanks to the pound, with 40 threads
to the inch in the hank, and GA in
the wolf. Although the art was
practiced extensively, and with no
mean skill, in very ancient times, it
progressed slowly and gradually
by small steps at long intervals.
The great advantages in the art of
weaving have been made during the
past three hundred years, mainly
during the past century. .

The First Year.

In all cases, the first year of mar
ried life is the most trying. Either
party may start by expecting too
much of the other, forgetting that
life is real and earnest business,
and that time ought to be more pro-
fitably employed than in always
making tender speeches or indulgmg
in gushing fondness. These ex-
pectations or tendencies are sure to
result in disappointment and vex-
alton, but they are errors that viii
oe quickly got over. The kindly
tone and tender look in all inter-
course, the constant endavor to please
and crafty, and the ever ready SYM
pathy, will early be recognized as the
fruits, of true affection, and be re-.
ceived, in loving sympathy by kind.
" sentiment. 1t is a womans place
to make home attractive, as it is
mans to provide for and remain in
it. A young husband cannot retain
the freedom of a bachelor withsthos
benefits of settled home. He has
serious and responsible duties per-
form; has to secure the comfort and
well-being of the woman who has
contided her happiness to his care,
to seek her sympathy and confidence,
to avoid neglect, or the seeming TO.
prefer, much more the preferring tho
company of other to hers to contri~
butte to her intellectual culture, to
ease her burdens, and in all things
to be her guide and support. He
must bear in mind that the society
of those who were his companions,
in youth and early manhood must
now be enjoyed at his own ,home,l.
and that the hunting for pleasure in.
his former haunts will leave dearth
of it at bis own freside. Duties,
professional or business gatherings,
will call him away often enough, but
of these absences no real wife wilt
complain. Pleasure parties which
are unsuitable for his wife are equal
ly unsuited to him. She should be
his companion always both at home
and abroad. sgAast

Mother 5 Leisure Hour.

Home has been called woman's
kingdom and fifty so, because with
in its wall she who is wife, mother,
daughter or sister, holds the scepter.
The many make the household, but
only one the home," says a poet,and
in sense his words are true, for in
every home the one who is the
house mother is the one who gives
the tone to the family. The family
life seldom rises higher than the
mothers ideal will let it rise. What
ever is her predominant aim, the Ill
innate desire of her heart Is reveal
ed in her sons and daughters. If
she is selfish, frivolous and tull OF
worldly ambition, her children are in
a fair way to become the same. If
she is CHEEKY, earnest and consecrat-
ed in her purpose to live the best
and highest life possible to christian
woman her children usually follow
in her steps.
Few leisure hours are possessed BY
mothers with their little ones around
them. The days are crowded with
cares. The cooking, the sewing, the
tying of strings and fastening of
buttons, the training of children, the
hearing of lessons, the many things
which make very little show but con-
sumo great deal of time, fill up a
mothers day so that her resting spell
seldom arrives till evening. Then,
when the older boys and girls are
busy with their maps and states,
when the father is indulging himself
with the paper or favorite book,
when the little ones have said their
prayers and the baby gone to sleep
the mother feels that she has earned
the right to a little bit of recess.
She is wise ifshe takes it. Far too
often she seizes upon that hour, in
stead, to finish Susie's new frock, or
patch Tommy's trousers; or to put
new risbands on fathers shirt or a
patch Oh the old tablecloth. She
works ON with nervous energy, when
she ought to be reading an entertain
ing story or listening to her daugh-
ter's music or playing an air or two
herself. She reluctantly lays aside
her basket and needle when the
clock strikes eleven and drags her
self YEARLY to bed. This is poor
economy. We would persuade, if
we could, all the mothers who read
this paper, to take the leisure hour
or halfhour whenever they can, even
though they let something else go.
1t will be better for their families
and themselves in the coming days,
when the children will be grown up,
and even more than at present their
mother shall be their guide, compan-
ion and friend Christian at Work.

Of the soul. IF it has woes it likewise
has it's delights; and when the over
whelming burst of grief is Gained in
to the gentle tear Of recollection
when the sudden anguish and the
convulsive agony over the present
ruin of all that we most loved, is soft
ened away into pensive meditation
on all that it was in the days of it's
loveliness-who would root out such
a sorrow from the heart ? Though
it may sometimes throw a passing
cloud over the bright hour Of gaiety,
or spread deeper sadness over the
hour of gloom, yet who would ex-
change it even for the song of pleas
ure or the burst Of revelryf No
there is a voice from the tomb sweet
er than songs There is a remem-
brance Of the dead, to which we
turn even from the charms of the liv-
ing. Oh, the grave! 1t buries every
error-covers every defect-extin-
cuisines every resentment. From it's
peaceful bosom springs none but
fond regrets and tender recollections.
Who can look down upon the grave
even of an enemy and not feel a
compunctive throb, that he should
ever have warred with the poor
handful of earth that lies Wondering
before him.
But the graves of those we loved
what place of meditation There
it is that we call up in long review
the whole history of virtue and gen.
tlcness, and the thousand endear-
ments lavished upon us almost I'M
needed in the. daily intercourse of
intimacy-there it is that the ten
derness Of the parting scene, the bed
of death, with all it's noiseless atten-
dance, it's mute, watchful assiduities
the last testimonies Of expiring love
oh, how thrilling-pressure Of the
hand! the faint faltering accents,
struggling in death to give one more
assurance of affection.
Ay, go to the grave Of buried love,
and mediate! There settle the &C
count with thy conscience for every
past benefit unrequited-eyery
past endearment unregarded, Of that
departed being who can never, never
return to be soothed by thy contri-
tion.
If thou art a child and hast ever
added throw to the soul, or fur
row to the silver brow of an affec-
tionate parent-if thou art hus-
band, and hast ever caused the fond
bosom that ventured its whole hap
piness in thy arms to doubt one mo-
ment of thy kindness or thy truth
if thou art a friend, and hast ever
wronged in thought, or word, or deed,
the spirit that generously confded in
thee; if thou art lover and hast
ever given one unmerited pang to
that true heart which lies cold and
still beneath thy feet--then be sure
that every unkind look, every ungra-
cious word, every ungentle action,
will come thronging back upon thy
memory, and knocking dolefully at
thy soul-then be sure that thou
wilt lie down sorrowing and repen-
tant on the grave an utter the I'M
heard groan and pour the unavailing
tear, more deep, more bitter, because
unheard and unayailing.- Washing
