good deal when he had prepared History

She was very anxious that nobody should
know anything about her novel until it
should be printed, and even then she meant
to keep her authorship a secret. But, like
good daughter, she asked her papa's con-

suspectingly mentioned the new book at the

everybody was reading it, laughing over it,
and talking about it. Fanny was asked her
opinion of "Evelina" wherever she went;
and when she blushingly confessed to an old
friend, Daddy Crisp" that he herself had
written it, he treated her pretensions as an
excellent joke.
DIR. Burney sent and bought copy, and
on reading the dedication to himself, recog-
nized Fsnny's hand, and his eyes filled
with happy tears. Of all the praises she re-
ceived after the world found her cut, moth
ing gave her so much delight as her fathers
pleasure. But for Fanny Burney, dears, we
might never have had the English novel of

Plain Living, High Thinking.

One of Mr. Ralph Waldo Emerson's
canons of home-life is, that the house and
the housekeeping should illustrate that
they exist to promote plain living and high
thinking. The aged philosophers home IL
lustrates his canon.
His house is large, Of that old New Eng
land style which suggests comfort and hos
pitah;y. The gate is always open, aud the
chestn at-tree-lined path is well-worn.
A long hall divides it. The rooms and the
furniture are noticeable for their mild flavor
of antiquity. The old pictures, old blde-
and-white china. old chairs and an old
sofa or two, are all suggestive of comfort
and not at all of ornament or show
The library, large square room, is plain
ly furnished but clearly illuminated with
sunshine Homely shelves line it, on which
are books for use but not for show.
Behind the library is the parIor used for
visitors and conversational parties.
Everything associated with the house and
the jewellers therein hsrmonizes with the
philosophers ides of culture, plain living
and high thinking. A visitor would at
once say here dwells man who likes plain
persons, plain ways plain clothes; prefers
earnest people; shuns egotIsts, publicity
likes solitude and knows its uses"
When Miss Bremen visited Boston she
wrote, Emerson came also, with a sunbeam
in his countenance" ga smile breaks over
his face like day over the sky" once said
George William Curtis. "At Emerson's
house it seemed always good-morning," be
added at another time.
Hundreds who have no sympathy with
Mr.. Emerson's philosophy, or with his re-
ligious opinions, are thankful for his exam
pie. in these snowy, ornamental days.
They feel a pride in the fact that the
blood of eight generations of Puritans has
made the man who walks with his head in
the clouds dress so plainly. and live SO
frugally, that he seems one of the plain men
who toddle along on the earth.

The Lie I'm the Work.


An honest mechanic will not permit even
"white lie" in his work. He makes it tell
the exact truth. The following anecdote
illustrates that the work which is not thor
oughly honest will at last disclose the work.
mans trickery:
Two young masons were building brick
wall-the front wall of a high house. One
of them, in placing brick, discovered that
it was little thicker on one side than the
other.
at will make your wall untrue, Ben," he
said.
"PoohP answered Ben; "what difference
will such trife as that make? You're too
particular"
MY mother" replied he, "tsught me that
truth is truth, and ever so little an untruth
is lie, and lie is no trihe."
"Oh," said Ben, 'thst's all very well; but
Pm not lying, and have no intention of ~
ing"
"Very true, but you make ycur wall tell
lie, and l have read that a lie in ones
work is like lie in his character-it will
show itself sooner or later, and bring harm,
if not ruin"
s'I'Il risk it in this case" answered Ben,
and he worked away, laying more brick,
carrying the wall up higher, till the close Of
the day, when they quit work and went
home.
The next morning they went to resume
their work, when, behold, the lie had
wrought out the result CT all lies. The wall,
getting little slant from the untrue brick,
had got mora and more untrue as 1t got
higher, and at last, In the night, had toppled
over.

The Musie.Master,s Daughter.

MS. NJ. E. Sangster in HaIper's Young People.I
Some of the girls who read Young Peo-
pie every week doubtless have their dreams
of the time to come when they shall them
selves be writing beautiful stories and see
ing them in print. More than century
ago there was in London little mother
less girl who used to amuse herself when
lonely by writing bits of verse and prose
which pleased her brothers and sisters.
Papa was music-teacher, and of course
was out giving his lessons for hours every
,dsy. The time would have seemed long
indeed to the children at home but for their
sisters stories, and for the fun they had
with the children of the hair dresser who
lived next door.
These children were permitted to borrow
wigs and. frizzled fronts from their fathers
stock with which to adorn themselves when
acting various plays. In those days full
flowing wigs were the rage, and gentlemen
did not think of wearing their own hair as
they now do.
One unlucky day, alasl clumsy child
dropped a wig worth ten guineas into tub
of water, quite running its set and curl. AT.
ter this accident the wigs were kept locked
in the show case. and the sweet merry faces
could not be seen in such queer masquersd-
ing any more
All this time L lave not told you the
name Of the clever little girl who was the
music-master's celebrated daughter. 1t wss

sation of the grown people, and watching al
that went on with eager eyes. Mrs Burney
found out about the scribbling, and did the

love for writing was genuine, and could no
be destroyed, and she wrote all the better

He Could Say No.
Tn,nl lf Hnna DaxriQxU 4

Mr.. Beecher somewhere gives descrip-
ton of the 'fsbby young man." He likens
him to a jelly hsh-a shaky, uncertain
creature with no backbone. A boy who
proves himself jelly-fsh the first time he
is tempted, and falls weakly in the fast ways
of bad companions for fear they will call
him "gTeen," gives poor promise of ever
making manhood that will be worth any
thing. Here is an example of another
kind:
Five lads were once gathered in a room
at boarding-school, and four of them en-
gagged in a game of cards, which was ex-
pressly forbidden by the rules. One of the
players was called out. The three said to
the quiet boy who was busy at something
else
"Come, take hand with US. 1t is too bad
to have the game broken up"
81 do not know one card from another"
THAT makes no difference" exclaimed
the players. "We'll show you. Come
along"
Now that was aturning-point in that lads
life. He nobly said,-
any father does not wish me TO play
cards, and will not disobeY him."
That sentence settled the matter and set
tied his position among his associates. He
was boy who could say NO." and hence
forth his victories were made easy and
sure.

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE AND INCL
DENT.

A French newspaper says that the Jesuits
are about to undertake the conversion of
Wales.
There is marked increase in the num-
Der of the theological students in Germany.
In 1870 there were ,536; last year, 1884.
The Episcopal Clergymen's Insurance
League has paid $4,000 to the widows and
orphans of deceased clergymen during the
last thirteen years.
The Rev. DR.. William j. Reid has Just
completed the twentieth year of his labors
as paster of the First United Presbyterian
Church of Pitlsburg, Penn.
Rev. DIR. Tying, when theological stu.
dent, supplied d church in neighboring
town, and on his way to preach one morn
ing met an aged colored man. "Well, un-
Gle, do you ever go to hear the young
preacher?" mo massa," replied the negro,
''dis chile don't let none 10 dem students
practice him."
The latest joke out about King Kalskaua,
of the Sandwich Islands, is that he cannot
help being a good man. The reason assigned
is that his ancestors ate so much missionary
| in their time that it worked into their sys-
TENS and was transmitted into their de-
cendantf. Missionaries who are eaten are,
after all, not wasted, it would appear.
Mr.. Beecher has very comforting. kind

TIE PARNELL LAND ACT.


LONDON. April 26--In the Commons Glad
stone said the Government could not sup
port second reading of the Healy- Parnell
land act. He said 1t might not be disturbed,
but this opinion did not apply to the pur-
chase and arrears clauses. The latter clause
certainly fell far short of its object, and
should be legIslated upon early in the pres
ent session. The Government would APP
proach the question impartially, listening
to the suggestions of all qualified persons,
and settling the question effectually. Glad
stone praised the system for settling arrears,
sketched an Irish bill, and said he knew
many landlords thought settlement should
be compulsory. He considered relief should
take the form of gift, and not a loan.
Gladstone stated he would discuss the
purchase clause on Smiths motion. He saw
an Irish bill was the first CLEAN of hope on
dark subject, for, although he was confident
of the power of the Empire for compulsion,
he declared he was completely alien to the
spirit of the Constitution. He approved of
the application of the Irish Church surplus
fund for aiding tenants in arrears, but feared
the fund was not large enough for the pur-
pose. AT the beginning of his speech Glad
stone referred to proposals it might be the
duty of the Government to introduce at the
present SESSION for the direct purpose of
maintaining peace over Ireland.
