Until Henry ii. founded the Carthusian
Abbey of William, in 1l7s, there was no
such thing known in England as a
monks cell, rs we understand the term.
1t was a popularity of the Carthusian
order, and when it was first introduced
1t was regarded as a startling no city

found much favor in England. The
Carthusians nei err had more than nine
houses all told; the discipline was too
rigid, the rule too severe, the Loneliness
too dreadful for our tastes and for our
climate. In the thirteenth century, if
mistake not. there were only two mon
asteries in England in which monks or
nuns could boast OF having any privacy,
any little corner of the n own to turn
into, any place where they could en- oy

Choice Extracts.

The few moments in the course OF
each day which a man absorbed in some
worldly pursuit MAJ carelcssly expend
in kind words or charities TO those
around him-4and kindness to an ami
NAL is one of these-are perhaps, i'm the
sight of Heaven, the only time that he
has lived to any purpose worthy of re-
cording. Helps.
1t is greatly to the credit of the new
Governor of Massachusetts, that on the
Sunday following his Inauguration he
was at his post as superintendent Of his
Sabhath-school. This is an example
worthy of being copied by others, when
they are promoted 10 positions of trust
and responsibility in the State or Ma
ton. Such promotion should not lead
them to abandon their Christian work
and engagements. A man is better
pol tician for being Christian, and the
higher he aseends as n statesman. as his
influence widens. and his civil respon-
sibilties increase, the more does he
need the help of the strengthening
principles of the Christian religion. and
the more does that religion need him.
We 90 further and say that no Chris
tan should embark in q business or ac-
cept position, il it is to cost him the
sacrifice of his religion-if the church
must seriously suffer and Christ be q
heavy loser by the operation. -Intciti-

The Mole Upon the Nose.


DR.. P, wcl;-known clergyman
is New York, frequently told in con-
nection with the sub ect of the training
of girls. the story of his visit to FASH
ionable school in that city. as.-
One of the young ladies in the senior
class had an unfortunate blemish in the
shape of mole ON the tip of her nose.
1t could not be removed. 1t could nos
be put out of sight There was nothing
unclean or disgracesul about it; vet,
trifle as it was. it forced itself an the
notice OF every stranger as the chief
characteristic of the girl.
She was pretty. modest and clever;
but beauty, modesty and wit were all
obscured an suborlin by this one
paltry defect Her classmates ex-
pressed much sympathy in speaking of
her to strangers. but were evidently
quite confident that they had no such
Flemish.
Now, one of these young ladies pref
aced every sentence with a sharp
Say like the stroke of gong.
"Say! think it is raining"
Say! / know nothing about mathe.
matics," etc, etc.
Another of the girls stitched her sem
fences together by "Y on know .. You
know, have such news to tell you,
was out yesterday, at Laura's, and
met Der brother, you know, and he SAYS
that his cousin, you know, is actually
engaged to Isabel"
A third bit her nails, and at every
pause in the conversation fell TO devour-
ing them rs furiously as famished dog
bone. The spectator felt an irresisti-
bic desire to bring her something toteat.
Still another Young girl in the school
INTERCEPTED an utterly vacant laugh into
every clause of a sentence She sat
next to the venerable clergyman at sup
per, and her conversation ran some
thing in this wise:
Wont you have some jumbles
Doctor? They're very nice, he. he.
heard you preach once last summer, up
in the Kaatskills. The sermon was on
the sacrifice of st. Simeon, he. he. 1t
made me cry, he, he, he, he!''
Now this poor girl had no wish to be
irreyerent or even merry. She proba-
bly, did not know that She laughed at
all. Her insane gi rgle, like the catch
words used by her compan ons, had
been adopted at first to cover childish
diilidence. No parent or friend had
corrected the foolish, Inbred habit, and
a personal popularity of this kind is
matter of which no stranger will speak.
Yet these little peculialitie. )" said
the doctor, like the mole on the nose,
were impertinently obtrusive. TEese
girls had good looks, scholarship and
lovable natures; Yet the one vulgar,
silly habit was the point which forced
itself on stranger, and it was that
mainly by which they were rcmem-
bered"
1t would be wise question for every
young girl to ask of her nearest friend
if she too has tais mole upon her nose.

A Story OF an Elephant.

There is a beautiful story of an old ele.
plant engaged in a battle on the plains
of India. He was a standard-bearer.
and carried on his huge back the royal
ensign, the rallying point of the Poona
host. At the beginning of the fight he
lost his master. The ..mahont'' or
driver had given him the word to halt,
when he received fatal wound, and
fell to the ground, where he lay under
heap of slain. The obedient elephant
stood still while the battle closed around
him and the standard he carried. He
never stirred foot, refusing to advance
or retire, as the conflict became hotter
and fiercer, until the Mahrattas, see-
ing the standard still flying steadily
in its place, refused 10 believe
that they were being beaten, and
rallied again and again round the
colors. And all this while, amid the
din of battle, the patient animal stood
straining its ears to catch the sound OF
that voice it would never hear again.
At length the tide OF conquest lett the
field deserted. Mahrattas swept on in
pursuit of the flying foe, but the elc-
phant like rock. stood there, with
the dead and dy -ng around, and the en-
sign waving in its place. For three
days and nights it remained where it
master had given the command to halt.
No bride nor threat could move it.
They then sent to village one hundred
miles away, and brought the Mahout's
little son. The noble hero seemed the
to remember how the driver had some
times given his authority to the little
child. and Immediately. with all the
shattered trappings changing as he
went, paced quietly and slowly away.

Sand Being Let Go They Went to

from the above text. The preacher
said
1.-The most intimate company q man

alone, what things delight you most,
and will tell what kind of person

share? Another companion is read

do you read? DO You seek something
elevating, something to build up true,
pure character? Do you sometimes
turn lovingly to God's Word? The

A Traders Idea OF Reaching the Pole.

Mr.. Francois MERCER has lately re.
turned to Montreal from the most North
ern district of Alaska, near Behrinp's
Straits. He has there been employed
IN the fur trada on the Ioukon Kiyer
and was the first American or Canadian
to arrive there after the sale OF Alaska
by Russia TO the United States Mr..
Atsrcier speaks the Esquimau Ian gua9e
kuently, rs also several other Indian di-
alects used by the natives of the Arctic
regions, and relates several. interesting
it ms as to the country in general. An
idea of the cold experienced there may
be formed from the following thermo-
metrical observations: On the 1st of
December, 1882, the minimum during
the day was fifty degrees bclow (Fah-
renheiD and the maximum twenty de-
grees below zero. Taking the whole
month together, the minimum was siv-
ty-three degrees below zero and the
maximum fifty-five degrees. The win
ter lasts about eight months, while the
four summer months are magnificent
weather. the only drawback being the
plague of mosquitoes that literally
b!acken the air during the long, un d.
broken day lasting many months.
Ducks. geese, swans. etc, begin to
arrive about the end of April and Law
thousands of eggs on the banks and
islands in the rivers. These are much
sought after by the natives and are ex-
cellent eating; in fact, Mr.. Mere er SAYS
there is no lack of food of all sorts.
whilst for sports there are reindeer,
moose, black and brown Lear in the
interior and white bear on the coast,
with salmon in the larger rivers and
trout in the streams. The Esquimau
dogs, which are the draught animals of
the country, are mostly fed on these
fish when dried. Mr.. Mercer has not
n very high opinion of the noble red
men of the North, but considers them
a lazy idle lot, most inveterate beogars
and full of superstition.
As to his opinion of an expedition
ever reaching the North Pole, he thinks
it never can be done without building
small stations en- route, ter quitting
the ship for the ice; providing these
stations with food and ali nece ssaries
and leaving them in charge OF small
parties; By this means only will the ex-
pedition be enabled to advance and Pc
tire when necessary, taking advantage
of some winter milder than usual. and
thus push on for the pole. No vessel
can proceed much further than seventy
six degrees latitude, and this leaves
eleven degrees TO be got over of frozen
snow and ice.--lhOHtT'eat Star.
