REMEMBERED IN PRAYERS.

When curtains OF night are pinned back by stars,
And the beautiful moon shows in the skies,
And the dew drops of heaven are kissing the rose,
It'sthep chat my memory flies.
As if on the wings of a beautiful dove,
In haste with the message it bears
To bring you kiss of affection, and say,
I'll remember you. love. in my prayers.
I know not the future, be it false or friend,
If one line on your memory wears,
know that love you wherever you roam,
And remember you. love, in my prayers
Go where you will, on land or on sea,
I'll share all your sorrow and cares
And at night when knecl at my cot to pray
I'll remember you, love, in Gy prayers
! Lave loved you too f0ndly eer to forget
Tao love you have spoken for me,
And that kiss still warm on my lips,
When you told me how true you would be.
When the heavenly angels are guarding the good
As God has ordained them to do
In answer TO prayers have offered TO him,
know there is one watching you
And may its bright spirit be with you
In life and guide you up haaven's bright stairs
To meet with the one that has loved you
Sotruc, and remembers you, lore, in her prayers

fair, rosy face, bright eyes, and a healthy,
well-developed form, are the best passports
to a happy marriage. All those wasting dis
orders, weaknesses, and functional irregulari-
ties peculiar to their sex, destroy beauty
and attractiveness and make life miserable.

What Constitutes q Good Education?
Suppose we should answer this by say
ing: "a good knowledge of writing,
arithmetic, geography, and history"
would not many be ready to exclame:
*How meager! this isn't half enough?'
But let US look into writing little, To
start with, the ability to write we'll from
dictation, or on an original arrangement,
would alone imply the possession of
many points of power, among which we
might note the following:
O. To be good listener and to get a
good understanding of what is heard or
read. This shows thorough training on
the part of the teacher, and the posses
sion of habit of thought on the part of
the pupil, that taken together are the
best evidence in the world that the listen
er IS already educated to a great extent.
| Educated" IN the sense not of having q
"grip" on handful of certain facts that
some people call knowledge but of hav
| ing the capacity of putting grip upon
any facts, handful of which it il
desired to separate from the great mass
for purposes of further study and use
ITO listen," then, properly, the attention
must be aroused and the understanding
quickened.
~. To reproduce ideas once learned
with tullness and exactness Not only
the attention and understanding arc
necessary in good writing, put the ex
ercise of one of the most important facul
ties of trained memory, that is, the
reproduction of previous concepts, OF
ideas. Furthermore, these ideas are no.
to be marshalled forth in a half absent
careless way, ebut scientifically, will
''fullness" and ''exactness." This orderly
complete arrangement of intangible
thoughts is still another proof of reall,
advanced intellectual culture.
