HindOO Proverbs,

The proverbs of India exceed those of the
East in number, and almost rival them in
wit and wisdom. Missionaries assert that they
can gain much stronger hold upon the ma
tives of that country if they are familiar with
the national proverbs. When we might re-
fer TO the "blind leading the blind" the Hin
docs declare, "The builders house is out of
repair" Vanity is illustrated by the request,
IF must die l must die; but do not touch
my top-knot, as the peacock said"
Contentment is taught in the Bengalese
proverb, when the bed breaks, there's the
floor to lie on" lDgratitude is pictured =
"What further use of boat, when you have
crossed the stream ?" st is dark under the
lamp" is akin to our own saying in regard
to ministers sons" Many scriptural aphor-
isms find their parallel in these proverbs -
HE by whom swans were formed white, par
rots made green, and peacocks painted of
various hues, will make provision for thee"
Suitable hospitality must be exercised even
towards an enemy arrived at the house; the
tree does not withdraw its protecting shade
from the man that hews it down."
"If you are kind to those who do you good,
what is the virtue of that kindness? He who
is truly good is good to those who do him
harm" "The sandal-tree perfumes the axe
that cut Sit"

The Largest Clock in the World.

Buffalo is to have the largest clock in the
world. The dial will be twenty-five feet in
diameter, and the centre of the dial will be
three hundred and sixty-one feet above the
street. The dial will be illuminated by cleo
trcty, and it is calculated that the time can
be seen at night from any point in the city,
and with a field glass the position of the
hands can be distinguished at distance Of
fifteen miles. The minute hand Of the clock
will be twelve feet long, and the hour hand
will measure nine feet in length. The Roman
figures on the dial will be two feet inches
in length. A steam engine will be placed in
the tower to wind the clock up every day
The clockmakers who have been invited to
give their views concerning the building of
the clock all say that nobody in this country
is able to build such an enormous timepiece
1t will take whole year to place the clock
machinery in the tower after the structure is
completed. The bell for the clock is to weigh
between 10000 and $4,000 pounds, and it is
calculated to peal so loud that it can be
heard in distant part of the city.

Honor Thy Parents.

There is touching story of the famous
DR.. Samuel Johnson, which has had influence
on many a boy who has heard it. Samuel's
father, Michael johnson, was poor booksel-
Ter in Litchfield, England. On market days
he used to carry package of books to the will
age Of Uttoxeter, and sell them from a stall in
the market-place. One day the bookseller was
sick, and asked his son to go and sell the
books in his place. Samuel, from silly pride,
refused to obey.
Fifty years afterwards johnson became the
celebrated author, the compiler of the en-
gish Dictionary" and one of the most dis
tinguished scholars in England; but he never
forgot his act ofunkndness to his poor, hard
toiling father; SO when he visited Ultoxeter
he determined to show his sorrow and re-
pentance.
He went into the market-place at the time
of business, uncovered his head, and stood
there for an hour in a pouring rain, on the
very spot where the book-stall used to stand
This" he says, was an act ofcontrition for
my disobedience to my kind father"
The spectacle of the great DR.. Johnson
standing barebeaded in the storm, to atone
for the wrong done by him fifty years before,
is grand and touching one. There is re-
presentation of it lin marble) on the Doctors
monument.

A Tale That Had to BE the the Last.

A party of gentlemen at a Birmingham
hotel were telling stories one night recently,
of famous shots and how many quails, par
tridges, ducks and other birds had been kill
ed at single discharge. After listening
to what seemed willful exaggeration by diff
ferent narrators, a stranger who was present
volunteered his experience of his only use of
the doubled.barreled gun as follows:
II went into the field the other day to try
cunning. The only game discovered was an
immense flock of black birds. should say
there were 10000 in the flock. Slowly
crawled up towards them, and when not
more than four rods away the birds rose in a
solid mass fired both barrels, and how
many do you think killed?"
Different guesses were made by the party,
ranging from twenty to 100.
Not one" said the stranger, "but went
out with my brother to look for results and
we picked up four bushels of legs. l had shot
little under"
1t was the last story told.

Hairpins.

"By the way, have you ever noticed how
many things ahairpin is useful for besides put
ting up the hairY A girl can button her
gloves or her boots better with hairpin
than any Of the contrivances men invent for
those services, and if she is ingenious she can
pick common lock with harpin when
she has lost the key, and she finds it useful,
when blackened in the gas for darkening her
eyebrows; and it is handy to pick out small
corks with, and perhaps to scratch the sur
face of her lily white when it is hard in the
box, and to fishing out choice bits from box
ofbon-bons, and dredge out the combings that
clog the flow from the wash basin, and fas-
ten up lace window curtains when she wants
to peep out at one side without being seen,
and, pshaw why should tell you any more
of the thousand ways she finds the hairpin
her best friend considering its size and
cheapness. No, sir, don't know the origin
of the praise, "That's the kind of a hairpin
am but should suppose it came from Vassar
College. And hope the girl who first used
it did not mean one of those wiggly ones,
with three little bends-or 'crinkles as we
call them--on each side. Those crinkles are
made to keep the hairpin from falling out
easily, and that is something for your inven-
tors TO find out--a cheap hairpin that will
not break the hair and will not fall out"

OUR HARVEST.

Ever so little the seed may be,
Ever so little the hand,
But when it is sown, it must grow, you see,
And develope its nature. weed, flower or tree
The sunshine, the air and the dew are free
AtitS command.
If the seed be good, we rejoice in hope
OF the harvest it may yield.
We wait and watch for its springng up,
Admire its growth, and count on the crop
That will come from the little seed we drop
In the great wide field.
But if we heedlessly scatter wide
Seeds we may happen to find,
We care not for culture or what may betide
We sow here and there on the highway side;
Whether they've lived or whether they've
died
We never mind.
Yet every sower must one day reap
Fruit from the seed he has sown
How carefully then 1t becomes us to keep
a watchful eye on the seed and seek
10 sow what is good, that we may not weep
Toreceve our own.

A Wife's Influence.

Many man who has speculated with stolen
money would be perfectly safe to-day if he
had confded in his wife. A woman instinc
lively shrinks from the thought of evil doing.
The man, self-deluded fool, easily persuades
himself that the money is only loan, he has
sure thing, and no harm can be done by
his borrowing" what he needs. No such
Jesuitical sophistry beguile the wife. She
knows 1t is a theft, and cannot be made to see
it in any other light. Woman is society's
balance wheel, and the man who does not
confide in bis wife leads life which cannot
admit of day being turned on it.

Pitiful Victims Of Rum.

A sad case of restitution and neglect
was brought to the notice of the HUI
name Society yesterday. Officer Dud-
ley visited the little frame shanty at
4lS South Desplaines street, and found
Mrs. Catherine Haight lying on an old
lounge in drunken stupor. and her
eight little children were huddled to-
gether in one corner of the room. They
had not had any thing to eat since
noon the day before, and the youngest,
a babe of seven months. was almost
starved. Five of the little ones Were
crying, and the Oldest, a little girl of
eleven years, was trying to comfort
them. When the officer found
them the children and drunken
mother were taken to the station, and
when the woman sobered up she was
brought before Justice Russell. Officer
Dudley stated that she had been sent
