The Power OF Grace.

We have known q man who one day
discovered that through the treacheF
of a trusted friend and business asso
ciate his business had been ruined
and his accumulated property nearly
if not absolutely, swept away. Yet
although his face became graver thai
usual, his cheerfulness of manner wa
not otherwise altered; general conf
dence in his fellow-men did not seem
to waver; none but kindly and even
excusable words fell from his lips CEN
corning his betrayer; and he faced the
world as CALAMITY, and set to work to
reconstruct his shattered fortunes as
energeticaIly, as if nothing discourag-
ing had befallen him. He exhibited
genuine Christian heroisIn of q high
order and as impressively as modestly.
Such examples of strong and noble
character make one thank God and take
courage.-Congregationalist.

MY Scrap.Book-.So. S2.

Mr.. Sturgeon has just issued new
book, entitled "The Salt-Cellars," a
collection of proverbs, together with
homely notes thereon. Not caring to
lose the numerous proverbs which he
has collected and used in his annual
sheet almanacs, he has decided accord
ing to his preface) to arrange them in
two small volumes, the first of which
is just published. Our readers will
doubtless be interested in the following
selection of the proverbs, some OF
which are general, and others sayings
of more spiritual sort -

Parental Responsibility.

Parental Is one form of personal re-
sponsibility than which nothing is
more solemn. Whom among us does
it not concern? Who can escape com.
ing face to face with it at last? Not o
single ono who is capable Of reading
this paper. There is no condition, nc
pretext by which any human being,
endowed with rational mind and op.
portunity, can evade the fact and re-
suits of personal responsibility to God
Henceit comes to parents with great
force. Your chilren are not walking
in the ways of the Lord as you had
hoped. They are shy, restive of leli'
gion they wish to hear of anything
but the church. They will not 60, and
you grieve aboutit. Yes, it is griev
Gus. It is an evil omen. The weep
ing of an eternity may be in it.
Where is the fault? Look back
Has your example always been on the
right side? When these children
were young and impressible did you
20 to church yourself? Did they
never hear you say: "Just as good peo
pie out of the church as in it" "Tl
not go to church to-day. I am toe
tired. The preaching is too long. We
will 60 to the woods, to the park. We
can worship God just as well by com
muning with nature" And now, you
lamem that your children willnot &c
to church. What wonder Have
you not barred the doors of the sanct'
uary against your child with your
own hands?
Undoubtedly some parents have
done just this, and the gate eof heaven,
too-God grant that it may still open
to their wandering feet, when at last
they weary in the ways of sin, if they
ever do. The page of Gods record is
filling up, and it will soon be unrolled
for our reading and for his just deci'
sion. All about us is changing, but
Gods word abides. Like himself, il
changeth not. We must meet it one
day. Blessed be those only who so live
that this solemn truth shall become q
note in the final song, and not a voice
of reproach. Every one Of as shall
give account of himself

A Word to the Girls.

No girl with a muddy complexion
can clear it by any external applica-
ton. She must begin with dieting.
Leave off tea and coffee, which make
the skin muddy, and drink milk or
lemonade instead. She must adJure
fat meats and greasy foods of all kinds.
Fruits, vegetables, eggs, lean meats
and cereals may be freely partaken OF;
cakes, candies, pies and pickles must
be tabooed. The daily bath must be
taken, and the skin kept in a healthy
condition by vigorous rubbing after
bathing, and by abundant daily exer-
else in the open air. Early and long
sleep will aid materially in giving a
healthy tone and glow to the complex
ion.
Late hours and late suppers quickly
tell upon the loveliest face. Compress
sion of the waist turns the most ex-
quisite peach-blossom complexion
muddy. So do high heels and tightly
fitting fashionable shoes. Dame ma
ture is patient and long-sufering, but
she is also just. Violate her laws if
YOU choose; she will not prevent you
YOU may even fancy for time that
YOU do so with impunity; but the day
of reckoning will come, inexorable as
fate: and health gone and beauty
gone, what is left by way of compen-
satior IN Y. Tribune.

Here is a whole sermon in a seI

Here is a whole sermon in sen
tence by Hannah Moore: "He who
cannot find time to consult his Bible,
will one day find that he has no time
to be sick he who has no time to re-
fleet is more likely to find time to sin ;
he who cannot find time for repent
ance will be of no avail; he who can
not find time to work for others, may
find an eternity in which to suffer for
himself"
Few rightly estimate the worth
OF Joys thai spring and iade on earth:
They are not weeds we sholld ucSpise,
They are not fruits Of Paradise;
But wild flowers in the l'ilgrimS way,
That cheer vet not protract his stay;
Which he dare not too fonUly clasp,
Lest they should perish in his grasp:
And yet may view, and wisely love,
AS proofs and types of joy above.
A mans moral being is concentrated
in every second of his life; it lives in
the tip of his fingers, and the spring OF
his insteps. a very little thing tries
what man is made of.
Ability does not depend upon the
volume of requirements one may pos
sess, but, instead, it depends upon an
honesty Of purpose and courage, de
rived from ones common sense.

Effective ReprOoE.

Tn one of the numbers of the Chris
tiar, Advocate, c. e. McCade calls the
attention of Christians to the Scripture
command, "Thou shalt not in anyWlse
rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin
upon him." He remaks, chow it would
diminish profanity for instance if every
time man should swear on the streets
on the cars, or in depots, he'should be
sure to call up some witness for Jesus
and he mentions a case in which he
saws. "I knew John e.. Vincent to
reprove swearer so powerfully, and
yet so tenderly, that he not only SUB
dued Kim, but melted him to tears. 1t
was in a railway station. The room
was full of passengers waiting for a
belated train. A man, probably slight
ly intoxicated, was shocking every
body with his profanity. Suddenly
DR.. Vincent began to sing:
"Jesus, lover Of my soul
Let me TO thy bosom n.y.,
While the nearer waters ssiI is ToIli hiea,
Hide me- o my Saviour, hide,
Till the storm Of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide,
o receive my soul at last!'
The song. Perfect silence reigned.
The swearer was reproved. After a
time he came to DR.. Vincent and said
"Could see you a moment out
side?"
They went out together.
How came you," said be, ito sing
that hymn just now ?"
The doctor replied:
II heard you swearing, and l
thought I would let you know there
was somebody there who loved the
name of Jesus"
"That's very strange" said the man
"My sister, when she was dying, sang
that very hymn, and she made me
promise to meet her in heaven. Could
you pray for me"
Down in the snow they knelt togeth-
er, and the doctor prayed for the peni-
tentIman, and asked that he mighthave
grace and strength to keep his vow.
The train came. They were separat-
ed, to meet no more, in all probability,
till they meet in eternity.
Disciple of Jesus, stand up for your
Master. Bear His reproach. Confess
His name before men. The hour is
rapidly approaching when a glance Of
recognition from Jesus will he more to
YOU than all the wealth and honor of
this world. And He has said, If ye
confess me before men, I will confess
you before my Father and his angels.

Activity.

God never meant to create single
thing to remain just as He made it
Growth and development are a need
full feature of every form of life. Even
the very rocks by the wayside
grow.
The physical stature is gained by ac
tivity. The moral and spiritual devel'
opment is gained by observing certain
laws of the Creator. Activity is in all
cases the fundamental principle Of
growth and development in the mora
and spiritual world. BY using the
means that is given to ou1
keeping, we become strong and stall
wart. If we remain idle, we become
helpless dwarfs, incapable OF doing
anything of any Importance.
God gave us reason, and He meant
that this should be kept in constant
use. The active mind will always ac'
complish s0meihiWg. 1t will set III
action other principles of work and
movement. In the spiritual life q
great deal of activity is required
There ought to be no idlers in the Mas
ter's vim eyard. Action is the very rul
inc principle of spiritual life. We be-
come spiritual dwarfs when we become
idlers. :,
Let us be active then, and never sil
down to dream by the wayside. If we
do, it may be all eternal dream, from
which we shall meyer awake. Others
will do our work and take our crowns

lips from speaking guile. w

Sunday Papers and Their Contents

During his visit to America, Canon
Farrar expressed his amazement at
the coarseness and lndelicacy to our
dailv press. In the penitentiary at
Joliet, Illinois, a reader goes through
the papers and clips from the mail
records of crime, before the prisoners
see them. Would that some such
service could be rendered for our homes
so that only the 'expurgated" news
paper might enter.
Saws Scribner's 'sMagazine:
The familiarity with vice, and crime,
and social shame, that has been acquir'
ed in this country during the last few
years, through the newspapers, has
bad the effect of a moral .scourge.'

ssSpoiline Children"

"The worst injury any parent can in
fict on society is to pet and spoil their
children in such way that when
they grow up the world will regret
that they did not die in infancy. A
mother allows her boy to answer her
back and treat her rudely. Years af-
ter she has gone to her account another
person will reap the bitter harvest OF
her weakness. The spoiled son Will
have taken to himself wife, whom
he treats in the same rude manner that
he as permitted to adopt toward bis
mother. A spoiled boy may possibly
become worthy, religious man, but
the effect of his having been spoiled
will be seen in the large amount OF
dross that will overlie the gold. He
will be ill-mannered, overbearing, sell
fish, and generally disagreeable.
Mothers, you can prevent this When
a boy is given to you, accept him, not
as plaything merely, but as most
sacred trust-a talent to be put to the
best account. Train him to be pure,
truthful, unselfish, independent.
Teach him to hate cruelty, to take the
part of the weak, to recognize the
special gentleness and respectful con-
sideration due to woman, particular
ly to his mother and sisters. In this
way you may prevent your pets from
ever becoming pests"
The above extract is from 1.-THE Five
Talents of Women" and most hearth
ly will it be endorsed by even those
who offend against its ideas most. The
need of care for children is an undls-
puted question; and sometimes one is
forced to question if the results for the
great mass o. children would not have
been better if we had learned to use
the word culture instead Of care when
speaking of their training. Caring for
child seems to be purely physica land
financial, the two responsibilities of a
child's guarding that can be trusted to
honest servants. Culture recognizes
more in child than the body. 1t rec
ognizes mind and soul ; it recogniz-
es future for which the present is q
preparation working to positive re-
suits. Yesterday, that well-dressed
mother who quietly put a rugged,
healthy boy in vacant seat in
Fourth Avenue car, ostentatiously
paying full fare-though the boy was
under age-while an elderly gentleman
stood up, certainly was taking q care
of the child that was sadly lacking in
culture. The possibility Of gentle con-
sideration for others in the future of
boy so trained is hopeless. D..
Culture means care, but far more
than care. 1t means the study OF the
future citizen in all his relations; 1t
means the constant pruning of disa-
greeable habits; it means the impo-
sing of burdens that will develop
thought and consideration for others.
Bad table manners in child are the
reflex of ignorance or carelessness of
the parents, and, when developed till
they become habits, are bonds taat
were woven by the parent. Selishness
and disregard of the rights of oth,rs
are but the natural fruit of childhood
that may have had care, but Lacked
that which is far higher, culture. The
time to begin culture is in the Grade,

1t is well for us to know that the
emotions cause more unhappiness and
crime than any other function of the
brain. It is its emotions that wear
away the brain, and not intellectual
work. Very few people suffer from in

serves me, I do not recollect ever hav.
ing mathematician for patient. II
is not intellectual work that causes
