Lesson the third: How much NAV be ac-
compi!shed by lying in ambush for oppor-
tunities. Areyou hypercrtical of Joshua's
maneuver: DO You say that if was cheat
ing for him to take that city by ambus-
cade: Was it wrong for Washington to
kindle camp fires on New Jersey heights,
giving the impression to the opposing force
that great army was encamped there
when there was none at all. l answer, il
the war was right, then Joshua was right
in his stratagem. He violated no flag of
truce. He broke no treaty, but by a lawful
ambuscade captured the city of All. O.,
that We sil knew how to lie in ambush for
opportunities TO serve sod. The best of
our opportunities do not lie on the surface,
but are secreted by tact, by stratagem,
by Christian ambuscade. you may take
almost any castle of sin for Christ. Come
up toward men with a regular besiegement
of argument and you will be defeated; !;
but just wa.t until the door of their
hearts is set ajar, or they are off their
guard, or their severe caution is away
from home, and then drop in on them from
a Christian ambuscade. There has been
many a man up to his chin in scientific
portfolios which proved there was no
Christ and no divine revelation. his pen a
scimetar flung into the heart of theological
opponents, who. nevertheless, has been
discounted and captured for God by some
little three-year-old child who has got up
and put her snowy arms around his sinewy
neck, and asked some simple question
about God and Heaven. O, make a flank
movement: steal march on the devil:
cheat that man into Heaven. A five-dollar
treatise that will stand all the laws of
homiistics may fail to do that which q
penny tract Of Christian sAtreaty may ac-
complish. 0, for more Christians ic am.

To Tell the Age of Horses.

To tell the age of any horse,
Inspect the lower jaw, of COURSE;
Tie sin font teeth the tale will toll,
And every nbt and fear di,pell.
Two middle "nippcrs", You behold
Before the colt is two weeks old;
Before eight weeks two more will come
Eight months the "cnrners" cut the gum.
The outside grooves will disappear
From middle two in Just one year.
In two years, from the second pair;
In three the corners, too, are bare.
II two the middle "nippers" drop;
At three the second pal. cant stop.
When four years old the third pair goes;
At i've a full new set he shows.
The deep black spots will pass from view
At six years from the middle two.
The second pair at seven years;
At eight the spot each CORNER" clears.
From middle "nippers,' upper jaw,
At nine the black spots will withdraw;
The second pair at ten are white;
Eleven finds the corners light
As time goes on, the horsemon know,
The oval teeth three sided grow;
They longer get, project before
Till twenty, when we know no more.

How to be a Good Nurse.

nurse must not disregard her health. be
cause it is essential tn her own we'll being
and because too attendants on the sick
should always be cheerful ami hopeful.
Sound nerve is often Il matter of training
but its root lies in II Sell>lnc>s. Anyone
who. in an accident or operation, furGrts
self in the desire to all others. Will not
be troubled by trembling or faintiug.
The faculties of observation and rcten-
tiveness of memory can he developed ny

to make the nurse careful and patient III

ally the result of organization. If a
nurse has arranged her days work before
hand if She keeps everything Pnnct1ailY
to this arrangement, and il everything
ncedful is neatly disposed, Size Is likely To
be discovered in hustle and confusion AT
any time The nurse should, furthermore
be mindful that She is under the doctor,
and should respect and obey his directions
even if she differs in opinion from him.
It is extremely important thai those
who are sick and suffering should be
treated with unfailiug gcntleness and pa
tienee nothing can ever excuse a uulse
for losing her temper with her patient.
No duty is too little or tri0ng for her at.
