The DRoNE-The Drone belongs to
the same genius and species as the
Shirk. but is different variety. He
(both genders included) is sometimes
found to occupy the teachers chair,
though he cannot be said to perform a
teachers duties. He simply "hears
recitations," and that, too, without life,
energy, or disposition to do anything
more than what is absolutely necessary
in order to secure wages. This class of
Drones can be eliminated from the
school-room, and, we trust, will be be-
fore many years; but there is another
class whose reformation rather than rid
dance is to be secured. He comes in
the role of pupil, but it is stigma on
the name to call him that. He may be
seen lazily dragging himself along to-
wards the school building after the
others have passed. There is no elias
ITCHY in his step, no activity in his man
ner. 1t disturbs him not at all to be
tardy morning after morning; though
if there is much work to be done at
home, he is quite apt to leave for school
before the proper time in order to avoid
the chores. When tardy, he drags him.
self into the school-room as if going to
jail. He looks istiessly around the
room, and then sits gazing vacantly a
while before taking up a book. He
doesn't study; he merely looks at the
lesson, occasionally reading it absent
mindedly, and more generally gazing
elsewhere. He does, or pretends to do,
only what he is obliged to do, and then
only in a half-hearted, careless way. 1t
would be a phenomenon to see him APP
ply himself vigorously and properly to
a lesson.
His familiar gait is again noticeable
in going to and from recitations. He
never likes to stand when reciting Gn-
deed it is quite hardship to recite at
ALL If he does rise, lie can't stand erect
(the teacher scarcely expects it of him, }
but usually leans more or less against a
desk. His answers, if not Don't know, y
are generally nearly or quite monosyl-
Liable; and whatever is correct is due
more to long practice at guessing than
any real acquaintance with the subject.
Does he like to have the teacher ex-
plain the lesson? o yes; for that re-
lieves him of the danger of reciting at
that time; but he doesn't pay attention.
Not he; there is far-away look in his
eyes that betokens an absent mind, but
it would be quite difficult to locate said
mind. The next day be is completely
ignorant of the points explained, and
looks surprised that he is expected to
know them.
In rhetorical or other special work,
he is good match for his relative the
shirk. 1t is needless to rehearse what
be does or fails TO do in this direction
1t is safe to say that be causes more la
Dor, more annoyance, more heart bur-
dens, more wakeful nights, more worn
out teachers, than any score of real
students.
He ills to pass his examinations and
his friends chautably say that HE has
poor health" ''He learns hard" s'He
was kept out; He doesn't take to
books etc, blu. the teacher OCCASION
ally mentally concludes that he is simply

Beauty a Good Gift of God.

Beauty, no doubt, is always fading
charm, and to it's envied possessor in
many cases a fatal one. Yet it is good
gift of God; and, whether found in hu-
man beings or in the plumes of bird,
the colors of flower or the glowing tints
of an evening sky, is source of innocent
pleasure; nor can it be wrong to notice
that which men inspired of the HOLY
Ghost not unfrequently mention. They
tell US, for instance, that Rachel was
beautiful" and that Esther was fair
and beautiful" They celebrate the
charm of Abigail; and, not combining
their remarks to female beauty, they tell
US that he whose appearance won the
hearts of the maids of Israel, and whose
brave battle with the giant formed the
burden of their songs, twas of beauti-
full countenance."
What David gave to Absalom, his
guilty and unhappy son, he probably in
herited from his own mother. Any way,
1T is plain from Scripture that while some
races are almost hideous from their upli-
ness-one of the fruits of sin-the Jew
ish women were remarkable for their per-
sonal charms and, indeed, it is alleged
that some of the finest specimens of fe-
male beauty are still found among them.
This is more than a curious fact It
forms one of those indirect proofs of the
truth and divinity of the Bible, which,
though indirect, are not the less but the
more valuable. The fountain CORES
ponds with the stream the ancient re-
cord with present physiological facts.
For it would appear from the Bible that
Sarah, the mother Of these lovely women,
was perhaps the greatest beauty the
painters art has preserved or poets have
sung.
Her charms were so remarkable that
hey dazzled the eyes Of Egypt; and so
enduring that at an age whose wrinkles
Ind gray hairs make other women vener-

True Life and Walk.

Our power in drawing men to Christ
springs chiefly from the fullness of our
personal Joy IN him, and the nearness OF
our personal communion with him. The
countenance that reflects most of Christ,
and shines most with his love and grace,
IS most fitted to attract the gaze of care
less, giddy world, and win their restless
souls from the destinations of creature love
and creature beauty.
A ministry of power must be the fruit
of holy, peaceful, loving itinerancy with
the Lord. o, how much depends on the
holiness of our life, the consistency OF our
character, the heavenliness of our walk
and conversation! Our life cannot be
one of harmless obscurity. We must
either repel or attract-save or ruin
souls How loud, then the call how
strong the motive to spirituality of soul
and circumspectness of life. How solemn
the warning against worldly mindedness
and vanity, against levity and frivolity
against negligence, sloth, and formality.
Of all men, a minister of Christ is es-
pecially called to walk with God. Every
thing depends on this: his own peace and
joy, his own future reward at the coming
OF the LORD. Ihls is the grand secret OF
ministerial success. One who walks with
God reflects the light of his countenance
upon benighted world; and the closer
he walks the more of this light does he
reflect. One who walks with God carries
in his very air and countenance sweet
serenity and holy Joy that difuses tran
guilty around. One who walks with
God receives and imparts life whitherso-
ever he goes; as it is written, "Out of
him shall flow rivers of living water. :"
He is not merely the worlds light, but
the worlds fountain; dispensing the wa
ter of life on every side, and making the
barren wastes to blossom as the rose
His life is blessed, his example is blessed !;
his intercourse is blessed; his words are
blessed; his ministry is blessed Souls
are saved, sinners are converted, and
many are turned from their iniquity.

Mutual Need.

My soul is like hungry and thirsty

ton for my refreshment. | am a wander
ing and lost sheep, and / need him as
good and faithful shepherd My soul is
like frightened dove pursued by the
hawk, and need his hands for refuge.
[ am feeble vine, and need his cross to
lay hold of and wind myself about. L
am sinner, and l need his righteousness.
[ am naked and bare, and | need his
holiness for covering. 1 am in trouble
and alarm, and need his solace. am
Ignorant, and need his teaching; SIM
pie and foolish, and l need the guidance

prompt and intercede for me. Am

bunal? He must be my advocate. Am
[ in affiiction? He must be my helper
Am prosecuted by the world? He must
defend me. When | am forsaken, he
must be my support; when dying, my
life; when smouldering in the grave, my
resurrection.
Well, then 1 will rather part with all
the world, and all that it contains, than
with thee, my Saviour; and God be
thanked | know that thou, too, art not
willing to do without me. Thou art rich,
[ am poor; thou hast righteousness, and
sin; thou hast oil aud wine, and 1
wounds; thou hast cordial and refresh
ments, and 1 hunger and thirst. Use
me, then, my SAVIOUR, for whatever pur-
pose and in whatever way thou mayest
require. Here is my poor heart, an
empty vessel; fill it with thy grace.
Here is my sinful and troubled soul

The Promises in Christ.

God the Father is the great Treasure
house of Promises-the Divine Fountain
head. But Christ is the channel through
which the river, and every rill that swells
it, flows. Cali the promises of God"
with their boundless wealth and pre-
ciousness, are IN him." Whereby are
given unto US exceeding great and pre-
cious promises" q Peter i: A. The
Church, as the Bride of the Lamb, is
lowered with these as her marriage por-
ton, "glory, honor, immortality, eternal
life" The believer, in spiritual sense,
and with spiritual telescope, can sweep
the whole stellar armament of promise,
and say, "They are all mine, because
Christ is mine eff ye abide IN me, are
the valedictory words of the Saviour,
we shall ask what ye will, and it shall
be done unto you" John XIV: ~ "In
Christ, every thing within the compass
of omnipotence to bestow, that is really
good for us, becomes ours. "In Christ
we are called " children Of the promise, &"
heirs Of promise" 1.-THE glory" says
Jesus, (which thou gavest me I haze
given thene." III Christ all the attributes
of God are embarked on our side, and
pledged for our salvation. This prince
of the kings Of the earth, the true Alias
uerus, seated in his royal banqueting-
house, stretches out the golden scepter Of
promise, asking, What is thy petition,
and it shall be granted thee, and what is
thy request?' Esther " g. Not more
do the facets Of the diamond derive their
brilliancy from the light; not more do
the planets in the solar system derive
their glory, and the flowers which deck
the earth their beauty and color from the
sun, than do the promises Of Scripture
