HELPFUL HINTS.

A lady whose income is so small,
found that her sitting-room furniture
had become so shabby that she ac-
tually began to dread a ring at the
door bell, for fear that some one
might be ushered into the untidy
looking room.
At last driven to desperation, she
became a veritable "Mrs. Toodles, ;"
for a period of two weeks she stood
for hours each day in an: auction room,
waiting for a ''bargain. A piece
of cretonne was "knocked down" to
her for the small amount of one dol
lar and fifty cents. The material
was a crimson ground with slen-
der vine of black running through it.
She spread newspaper over each
piece of furniture and cut out a pat
tern. then devoted two half days to
the task of covering it. A curtain
of cretonne was put up at the WIN
dow, and lambrequin of the same
material, graced the mantle. A few
bows of ribbon were added as fin
ishing touch. Two pieces of the
cretonne were joined together and a
row of red fringe sewed firmly along
the edge. When the little table was
placed in the center of the room and
the bright cretonne cover thrown
over it helped TO brighten up the
room wonderfully.
A few pretty tides, fastened to
the chairs with small hooks, called
forth the unbounded admiration OF
every masculine member of the fam
lily for now they would be able to

ing accused of a premedltated desire
to purloin the article above mention
ed, which invariably persisted in
clinging to their backs whenever they
started to leave the room.
A lamp with tinted shade and g
few choice books, rendered the once
despised loom perfect "haven OF
rest"

PINKEY.

Pinkey was very fond of having
her own way. Pinkey was not a
child, nor dog, nor cat nor any
body. She was just little wild
flower growing in the meadow. Pink
ey was very disconnected. She did
not like blooming in the meadow.
She wanted to be a garden flower.
Yet she was a sweet little blush rose.
The mother told her she was where
it was best for her to be. But Pink
ey was unhappy, because no one
saw her blooming in the meadow.
One day boy was seen approach
ing.
"Hlde your head, little Pinkey,"
said mother rose; s'that boy looks
cruel and rude" but Pinkey held her
head up as high as she could. The
boy saw her, and in a moment had

Learn TO despise outward things
and to give myself to things inward,
and thou shalt perceive the kingdom
of God to come in thee. "For the
kingdom of God is peace and JOY in
the Holy Spirit which is not given
to the unholy. Christ will come unto
thee, and show thee his own consola-
ton, if thou prepare for him worthy
dwelling, place within thee. All his
glory and beauty are from within,
and there be takes delight. The in
ward man he often visiteth, and hath
with him sweet discourse, pleasant
solace, much peace, familiarity ex-
eeeding wonderful. 0 faithful soul,
make ready thy heart for him, that
be may vouchsafe to come unto thee
and to dwell within thee.-Thomas 9

pulled her from the bush. He placed
her in the buttonhole of his jacket,
and went of whistleing. Pinkey felt
pleased and proud.
'sNow l shall see the great world,
she said.
Pretty soon the boy came TO q
grand-looking house. He went into
a beautiful parlor, and placed Pinkey
in delicate china vase. ssOh, how
beautiful p she said; ssthis is just
what I have longed for
Then bell rang, and lady call
ed.
"Dear me-" said the lady, "where
did you get that wild rose? Pretty
isn't it, but they die so soon I don't
care much for them > and she turned
away. Poor Pinkey began to feel
very badly. cam [ wild?" she sigh
ed, "and will | soon die? I want
water already. If 1 could only ask
for some; but no one understands
my language but other flowers. If
only the boy would give me water! I
wish [ was back in the meadow with
mother rose !" Then the boy came
into the room. "Hulloo - he cried
"this rose of mine is fading already"
He grasped poor Pinkey rudely, and
threw her out of the window.
She fell right on the back of a
little bird that was picking up crumbs.
The bird was very much frightened.
Off she flew as fast as she could to
the meadow. She lighted on wild
rosebush, and the light thing on her
little back fell off. 1t was poor dy-
ing little Pinkey. But she was a
very happy little Pinkey, for she had
fallen on mother roses bosom.
And Pinkey didn't die after all.
For mother rose twined the tender
stalks into the tendrils of the bush
so skillfnlly that new life came back
to little Pinkey, and she bloomed
anew. And now all the sweet mead
ow flowers love to listen and hear the
wise little Pinkey talk. She tells
them never to seek to have their own
way, but always to obey the mother
blossom. She says dlscontentment
is great sin, and a sweet, quiet,
meadow is lovely home for little
flowers, but the best place is just
where God has put them.

TRUTH AND TRUTHFULNEss.

Let any one look back upon what
he was when he was child; LET him
leap over the thirty, or forty, or six
ty years that have passed since he
came into conscious knowledge of
good and evil, and he will indeed
have been happy-have been blessed
with the teaching of true parents, and
had that teaching blessed to him-if
he does not see, in that long distant
past, some dark blot of deceit stain
ing the calmnesss and purity with
which his infancy might else have
appeared, arrayed to him. Some
childish offence has been followed by
a childish deceit He has broken
fathers command, and has feared
punishment, and has tried to eyade
it by falsehood, and the stain of that
falsehood has eaten deep into his
soul. And so. again, when the years
of mere childhood are past, and BOYS
are gathered together Gin large num-
bers at a school, are there no recol-
lections of offenses against the truth?
Was an evasive answer, a shuffling
excuse, q paltry equivocation thing
altogether, unknown? Was the
school a temple of truth, into which
there entered nothing that loved or
made a lie? Or did you find lies there
so long as they could assume form
somewhat short of downright false
| hood in its very terms, common and
lightly thought of-known by some
phase which served to hide its real
| character SO that there was, in fact,
two-fold liza lie upon lie-frst
the falsehood practiced upon the
teacher, and then the falsehood prac-
ticed upon yourselves, to make each
other think that was no falsehood !?
l do not say that this is always the
case. Doubtless there have always
geen exceptions to it. We may hope
that such things will become more
and more known 10 be what they are
that they will be the exception,
and the love of truth the rule. Yet
still none can deny that these sins
have been, and are too common. 1t
lest with those who are now young,
and passing through that stage of
life in which they meet with tempta-
tons to this kind of falsehood,
whether il shall be so still. If there
be such among my readers, would
ask them also to pass over in their
thoughts the same lapse of time as
they do who recur in after-life to the
time when they were children. 1t IS
| for you to look forward, as they look
backward. W hen you are tempted
to practice a deceit, put away for a
moment the pleasure of or the i'm
punity which it brings with it now,
and think how it will seem to you
when you look back upon it in ma
ture age, and see it in its deformity
as falsehood. Look forward still
forward many years, over long
life, over to the end OF time-and
think how it will seem to you when
you are standing In the presence of
the God of truth, to whom lying lips
are an abomination.-me Queer.

MASSACRE OF CHRISTIANS.
Shanghai. Sept. 1-Advices from

province of Sechuen, state that the
nations of the eastern part of that
province and those of northern Cochin
China have risen against the christians
and are massacrelng them and de.
stroying their property. This active
persecution is attributed to the impru-
dence of the English and American mis-.
sionaries in Cochin China. alone. Fifty
christians have been killed, their houses
burned and their farms destroyed.
In Sechuen o general
massacre of christians is reported to be
now in progress and they are killed
wherever found. 1t is said hat whole
villages occupied by christians have
been destroyed and all lands occupied
by professors of that faith have beer
destroyed. The apostolic wears resi-
dence, in Sechuen, was burned tc

foreign consuls barely escaped from
Sechuen with their lives no efforts have
been made up to late reports to quel
the disorder and SO far as now known il
