VIZ have heard OF streets paved
with gold and buildings set with
pearls, but supposed such condi-
lions were confined to the New Je-
rusalem. What was our surprise,
therefore, on last Sabbath, when,
on making a friendly call on Prof.
Glass, before entering we noticed
gold glittering at us from out the
stone with which the Professors
residence is built, the whole seem
ing to be rich food for a stamp

One OF Carlyle's Rampages.

Carlyle returned from his travels very
bilious, and continues very bilious up to
this hour. The amount of bile he does
bring home to me, in these cases is
sometimes lawfully grand!" Even
through that deterioratiny medium he
could not but be struck with a ''certain
admiration" at the immensely of needle
work had accomplished in his absence,
in the shape of chair covers, sofa covers,
window curtains, etc., and all the other
manifest improvements into which had
put my whole genius and industry, and
so little money as was hardly to be con-
ceived. For three days his satisfaction
at the rehabilitated house lasted; on the
fourth the young lady next door took
fit of practicing on her accursed piano
forte, and he started up disenchanted in
his new library and informed heaven
and earth in peremptory manner that
"there. he could neither think nor live"
that the carpenters must be brought
back and ''steps taken to make him
quiet place somewhere-perhaps best of
all on the roof of the house" Then fol-
lowed interminable consultations with
the carpenter, yielding for some days
only plans-wild ones-and estimates.
Up went the carpets which my own
hands had nailed down, 10 rushed the
troop of incarnate fiends, bricklayers,
joiAers, whitewashers, ETC., whose
noise and dirt and dawdling
had 80 lately driven me to despair.
Down went partition in one room, up
went chimney in another. Helen, in
stead of exerting herself to stay the tor
rent of confusion, seemed to be struck,
mo wonder) with temporary jdiocy, and
my husband himself. at the sight Of the
uproar he had raised, was all but wiring
ing his hands and tearing his hair, like
the German wizard servant, who has
learned magic enough to make the broom
stick carry water for him, but had not the
counter-spell to stop it. Myself could
have sat down and cried. so little
strength or spirit had left to front the
pressure of my circumstance. 1t was
got through in the end, this new hubbub,
but when my husband proceeded to &C.
cupy his new study, he found that devil
bit could he write it in any more than
beside the piano; sit was all SO strange
to him" The fact is. the thing he has got
to write-his long projected life Of Crom-

sCArIER sEEps OF KINDNESS

There was never golden sunbeam
That fell ON desolate place,
But left some trace of its presence
Inst time could never tfface
Not Q song OF ineffaple sweetness
That ravished the listening ear,
Then slum Der. IL silence forgotten
For many and many year
But o word or tone might awaken
Its magical power anew,
Long after the sweet. voiced singer
Had faded from earthly view.
Nor q heart thyt was ever weary,
Or taiuted with sin aud despair,
But word of tender COMMISSION
Night find an abiding place there.
Yet countless thousands are earning
For sympathy, klndness and love,
And sous are coping In darEness
Without one Z cam from above.
There was never a sunbeam wasted,
Nor q song that was sung in vain.
And souls tart seem lost in tue shadows
A Saviour's love may reclaim.
Then scatter the sunbeams of Kindness,
Though your deeds may never be- known.
The bsf gesI will ripen IN glory
If the seed be fully sown:
And the life will close with blessing,
AND face into endless day:

A Weak Educational Appetite.

A strong appetite for education does
not consist in mere capacity or desire for
learning. but in IN impelling, conquer
ing force that enables one not only to &C.
quire knowledge by the aid OF what are
called advantages, but drives him to
seek it and find it under encouragement
and frequent defeat, and, more, 10 sssim.
ilste it, make it individual. It is found
in every character of prominence: Frank.
lin, Clay, Greeley, Lincoln, Edison, Gar
field. Itexists independent of the school.
though the school may right nobly assist
in its development. or. unhsppily, de-
structively enfeele its possibilities.
Let MS try to form an estimate OF the
public educational appetite. Will the
people endure a. much, save a. much
think as much for education a. they did
years ago? Is not the sentiment vjgor-
GUS and growing, that education should
come rapidly, easily, and cost little? Is
the demand for educational beques and
endowments growing less? Do not the
leading, wealthy institutions of our coun'
try stand hat in hand like mendicants?
Suppose those young people in our
higher institutions of learning who have
NO financial worry about the morrow
were called upon TO pay the actual cost
Of their instruction, what would DO the
result? The verdict would be that su-
perior education is too expensive even
for tho wealthy. . luxury to be Stunned.
What sentiment does the limited and
irregular attendance Of our free schools
reflect? Thousands that attend them are
very, very young. and like unr1pe fruit
they drop o6 the school tree before their
time. While parents value . little A.
sistance or few pennies earned by their
offspring moro than they do the benefits
Of school, the children. looking through
parental eyes, soon lose taste for study
and willingly drop ont and JOIN the vasl

Don't mention it," he answered

Don't mention It, ne answered
coldly.
These past three days had been filled
to him with strange experience. His
revenge had grown distasteful to him, he
told himself. 1t could not mend Fred 8
broken heart, and his own could only
harbor scoru. sr
The next week he saw but little of
Miss Fielding. He avoided her when
ever he could do so, although he noted
that she was growing wan and pale.
"What are you doing, Max Elliott"
asked Mrs. Redfern, one morning, as
she came u BON him seated by an open
window of the long drawing room. II
told You once that Nora Fielding s
fault lay not in her non-possession OF
heart, but that no man had touched it.
l could not say that to-day. Have you
no scruples, no remorse?"
"None. If what you tell me be true,
l should only exult. What could l feel
but scorn for a won an who would lead
man on to wrecking his life at her feet?
But you need have no fear. Miss Field
ing is capital actress, that is all.
MARK what l say-you will recall
those words!' prophesied the little ma
tron, sweeping angrily away.
"Never!' mentally calculated the man,
vaulting through the low window to the
piazza with sudden feeling that the
house stifed him, but not prepared to
find himself face to face with Miss Field
ing's self.
She had been sitting with an open
book disregarded in her lap. her eyes
gazing seward, and she had heard, OF
necessity every syllable which had been
uttered.
Eyes, have heard all" she said, in
reply to his questioning look. You
came here to revenge your friend, Mr..
Elliott. Well, your revenge shall be
complete. You say he suffered. So you
have made me suffer. Why should I
seek to conceal what is the acutest pain
to confess? Was it my fault l could not
love Fred Ronalds? Was it my fault that
his own love made him blind? If so, l
have been punished, and my punishment
is your reward. To it | add the humilia.
ton of this avowal."
Never had she looked more lovely,
never more proud, than when she step
ped from the throne to the level of
suffering womanhood, His scorn, his
triumph-where were they? Swept away,
as by a mighty food, and revealing the
naked truth, all of which he might be,
all of which so nearly he had lost.
Before she had OWNED his purpose,
he had gathered her two hands in his
strong grasp.
Mora! my darling, forgive me!' he
murmured, 81 love you, and my love
has made me blind indeed! Oh, my dar-
ling, I came to mock, and I stayed to
worship! I give up my revenge to you.
Will you, more generous than l have
been refuse to take it?"
mot that!" she answered; and now
the bright eyes filled with dimmipg
tears. "But in taking it. it is to give
in return my love, my heart, my life!
All, Max" she whispered softly, a little
later, sis it always the womAn's fault
that men say she has no soul? Shall we
expose our own priceless jewel to the
gaze of every curious by-passer on LIES
Journey"
And he, with the jewel forever his,
safelocked in his stronghold. is fain to
admit her words are true even while he
thanks God its radiance has never daz-
zled another's eyes-not even those of
his dearest friend.
