How to Keep Your Friends.

A girl I know said: ~ am Il great
one for making friends" 1t sounded
as if she ought to be very happy, but
when 1 had minute to think | Won
dered if she were good at keeping
them. Making friends is easy to the
girl who is bright and happy, whose
society gives pleasure, and who is ge-
nial. But the keeping of them de-
mands more than this.
IF you want to keep friend, don't
get too intimate with her.
Haye your own thoughts, and per-
nit her to have hers.
Do not demand too much of her in
the way of confidence.
Do not be too aggressive, wanting to
know why she hasn't done this, and
why she doesn't think as you do.
If you think your friends style Of
dress is not beautiful, don't tell her !;
you only offend her, because deep in
her heart she is convinced that she
knows great deal more about it than
you do.
Do not find fault with your friends
friend, and do not expect to be the on
ly one given corner in her heart.
Be as considcrate Of her feelings as
if she were a stranger, and remember
that politencss is an every day gar
ment, and not one intended only for
high-days and holidays. TO sum it
up in one sentence, preserve the cour-
tesy of the beginning if you wish to
keep your friendship to the end.

My Imaginary Daughter.

than a great many girls of my ac-
quaintance are trained.
I hardly think that I should 90 TO
my bed at 10 o'clock at night not
knowing whether my daughter of six"
teen years was safely sheltered under
my own roof or running around the
streets with boys and girls of her own
age. [ should like her to possess q GER
tain ease of manner and certain de-
gree of self-confidence, but | would
have her acquire them in quite Il diff

I should not want her to go walking
or driving with young man of twen-
ty years, as the seventcen-year- old
daughter of Il neighbor of mine went
several times last summer. I should
not want her to haye gentleman call
ers or be "in society" while she was
yet school girl.
should not want her mother to do
anything for my daughter that she
could do for herself. If I ever found
her in the horse cars, or in any other
place, with wad of gum bulging out
her cheek, there would be serious trou-
ble between my daughter and myself.
I should not send her to school in d
gown Of silk, dangling chain of gold
bracelets, laces or wildly plumed
Gainsborough hat and Haunting rib
bons.
l should have her taught to cook
bake and sew, and give her a thorough
knowledge Of housekeeping in all its
details. This much would I do for the
benefit of the man she might some
day marry.
The many things should be sorry
to have her do I see done daily by the
young daughters of intelligent and re-

Bad Company.

A young lady of sixteen, you had
been piously brought up, was invited
10 a party at which certain persons of
undisguised infidel sentiments were
expected to be present. Her father OBJ
jected to her going.
~ know, papa" she said "that they
speak against the Bible and against
Jesus; but you can be quite sure that
they will do me no harm. I will be
in the room where they are-I can't
help that but I shall not allow them
to affect me in the least"

enough to fetch me one?"
"Do you want live coal, papa?"
"No-one that is dead-burned out" !"
The coal was brought. The young
lady had brought it in her hand.
Didn't it burn you, my child ?'
asked the father.
why. no, papa-how could it: It's
dead !"
"Of course it couldn't; but look at
your hand, Florence"
"Oh, papa, how black my fingers
are! I must 60 and wash them"
"Wait a moment, Flossie; here is a
little lesson for you while you are
washing them. It is this: 'Compan-
ionship with the wicked and worldly
may not necessarily burn you and de-
stroy you, but it will certainly soil
you.' Remember all your lifetime
what the apostle says: Evil commu-
nicatlons corrupt good manners "

Human Ideas Of Justice.

A correspondent of the York Enter
prise, signing his article "W. S. Co."
writes as follows:
A thought or two suggest themselves
to nv mind. How false and imper-
feet are human ideas Of justice We
sometimes connive at little sins While
we condemn greater ones, and vice
versa. The petty criminal, especially
if he is poor, is promptly and adequately
punished. The greater criminal, es-
pecially if he has money, often goes
unpunished, or at least, the punish
ment is light as compared to the crime
The petty criminal, if poor, must up
on conviction, abide the result. The
greater criminal, especially if he has
money, has many avenues OF escape,
AS an Illustration, take the case OF
Voolfolk, and many others whose
names might be given. We observe
that "the laws delay" applies only to
the man who has or can't get money
'Tis considered base and contempti-
BILE 10 engage in petty stealing, but the
big thief is often promoted to positions
of howa. A man steals hog, the crime
is larceny, the criminal is q thief u
man steals bank, the crime is EN-
bezzlement," the culprit is defaul-
ter"
read the other day about man
who stole SG0,000. and, upon convic-
ton, was sent to the penitentiary for
five years. The presumtion is that he
makes $4,000 q year by the transac-
ton. also read about a poor, little
black, ignorant, wretch who stold a
few articles from house, all of which
were afterwards recovered, and upon
conviction, he was sent to the peniten-
tiary for life. Now, these are facts,
patent to all. What is the effect?
The rising generation should be
taught that the law is supreme; that II
is a terror to evil doers, but a safeguard
to the virtuous and upright. Our
youth should be early taught to honor
and respect and obey the law. But
how can we expect this when we have
but to look about us in order to see the
determinations that are made in the
enforcement of the law. If this state
of affairs continues to exist will not
the youth of our country feel con-
tempt for laws which are unequal in
their application to different classes?
And will they not in turn be tempted
to break the law themselves? How
long has the ievils briefly indicated a
bove eXistes in the world ? Evidently
for a long time, for the greatest poet
cal genius of this age and one whose
writings, to a great extent, are based
upon English history says:
"rhrough tattered clothes small vices do
Robes and furr'd grown hide all. Plate sin
with gold. ,
And the strong lance Of Justice hnrtless
breaks:
Arm it in rags, a plgny's straw doth pierce
it,"

The Little Beauty.

II know am homely," said little
Rosie Oppenheim, as she peered from
the top of the chair into her looking
glass and scanned every feature. It
was only too true, for the face she saw
was far from fairy-like. There was no
pretty dimple in the cheek, no bright,
winsome eyes. no tiny, clear-cut nose,
smooth, white forehead and dropping
eyelashes. 1t was dark countenance
small eyes, thick lips, large nose,
and huge ears.
Goodness What a fright" she
exclaimed, as she got off the chair and
turned her face from the mirror.
"Well, L am glad that T know it, any
way; and so, if the girls call me
names, they won't sting me at all. be,
cause it is true" And she laughed
such a merry little laugh that the SUM-
beam through the window caught it's
echoes, and passed them to the clouds
beyond.
Rosie took up her sewing by the
window, but after time grew tired of
the work. and picking up Alice in
Wonderland, was deep in its myste-
ries. With what interest did she fol-
low the adventures of that pleasant
little maid How excited she grew as
page after page was quickly scanned i!
How
"Rosie"-it was Mrs. Oppenheim
who spoke-"R Rosie, dear, would like
you to run to the corner and match
this silk"
Quick as o flash she threw down the
book, and returned in o few minutes
with the article desired. Then she re-
sumed her book.
"Sister Rosie--Posy"-the voice
came from a little chubby boy of five.
won't you please tell me little sto-
ry?"
"Why, of course, I will, my pre-
cious," said the young girl, seizing the
little fellow; and he eagerly listened
while she told him such fairy story
that his eyes grew larger and larger,
and his mouth wider and wider, until
he soon fell fast asleep.
II don't think I shall read any more
now," said Rosie to herself. ut is
time to go to the piano. I have to run
over those scales" and she darted up
the stairs and had just opened the pi-
ano, when her father appeared at the
doorway.
"You would oblige me, my darling"
he said, "if you would close that pi-
ano. My head aches dreadfully."
"All right, papa. I will get up ear.
ly tomorrow and finish the exercises"
And she closed the piano softly, then
quietly left the room as her mother an
tered.
"What beautiful disposition that
child has !" said Mr.. Oppenheim. ut
is your training, my love-"
"But do wish that she was little
prettier, Joseph"
"Nots for the world, not for the
world, Hannah. Believe me, she is a
little beauty as she is; and if God
spares her, her features will grow more
regular"
Rosie did not hear her fathers re-
marks, although she felt that she was
loved even more tenderly from that
hour. But the sunbeam that caught
her merry laughter and bore it to the
clouds heard the words of praise, and
shone in extra lovely colors that eve
ning.-Jewish Messenger.

FAMILY WoRsHIP.-The decline of
family prayers is an evil no less seri-
ous than the decline of church attend
ance. Family worship should be like
family life, free and unconstained,
The austerity and sombreness with
which many people conduct family
worship make the children dread
rather than love it. Here is one in
stance which I know to have occurred
in a strict Puritan household. The
only son, a boy of eight or ten years,
was following as best he could the
morning lesson. Struck by some
startling and paradoXical expression,
he venturcd to inquire. "Father what
does that mean 2" "Hold your gable,
and study your Bible" was the reas-
suring aud edifying answer he recelv-
ed.
And vet Ihave no doubt that for the
thirty years that followed, in which
that SON took no interest and saw no
beauty in religion, the father was seer
city praying all the time for his con-
version, and wondering why his
PRAYERS were not answered. Our chill
dren must be taught the masculine
religion of thought and outward eX-
preston, as we'll as the feminine re-
iigion of sentiment and inward feel
ing, if they are to 60 out from our
homes to found Christian homes of
their own; if their religion is to stand the
wear and tear of real life.-Irestdent

Here is O letter from Dickens, ad-
dressed to his younger sons on their
leaving home-one for Cambridge. the
other for Australia-in which the fa-
tker's heart and the deeper side of his
nature reveal themselves "You will
remember" he says to both, "that you
have never at home been wearied
about religious observances, OF mere
formalities. You will therefore under
stand the better that l now most sol
emnly impress upon you the truth and
beauty of the Christian religion as it
comes from Christ himself, and the
impossibility of your going tar wrong
if you humbly, but heartily, respect
it. Similarly, impress upon you the
habit Of saying Christian prayer
night and morning. These things
have stood by me through my life, and
remember that I tried to render the
New Testament Ineligible to you and
lovable to you when you were mere
baby. And so God bless you. Ever

"Clerical JeSting."

Such was the heading of an editori-
al in New York paper q short time
ago. What followed was strong i'll
condemnation of the growing practice
among clergymen of all denOmina-
tions of being funny, appearing witty,
and creating laughter, even when
dealing with the most sacred things.
The point, we think, is we'll taken.
That there is "a time to laugh"-a
time to joke, sport, amuse, and make
merry-all will admit. But it is not
when the clergyman Is in tie house OF
God, or when he is Engaged ut any
time or in any place, in dealing with
the solemn truths of the gospel or the
eternal interests of souls. 1T IS salu
that when man can drive home al
idea better by little flash of wit than
by all argument, the former is prefera-
ble, even though laugh has been
evoked. But is there not more to be
considered than simply ''driving
things hOme?" What about the So
lemnlty of the occasion, the Spiritual
impression to be made, the divine in
fluence to be impaired to immortal
souls? How much has been gained,
though every thought of the sermon
has been "driven home," if the spirit
of the occasion has been scculariZed: :
One of the deplorable things of our
day is that so many go to the sanctua-
ry for simple entertainment, and in
this entertainment they demand that
the preacher shall be funny. What
sincere Christian does not deplore this
state of things? But nothing fosters
it more than the growing tendency of
clerical jesting" in the house of God.
AS long as ministers aim at making
their congregations laugh, or seek to
impress holy things by jokes cracked
or flashes of wit. the secularization OF
the sanctuary must go forward, and
the spiritual power of preaching must
grow less.-The Treasury.

An Inquiry upon the War Subject.

The New York Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church has clear
ly affirmed It's position with respect to
the allied evils of theatre-going and
dancing. We know where the Metho-
dist Church generally stands in rela-
ton to liquor-drlnking. Where are
they as to the great evil of war? DO
they hold with Wesley, who said !;
"Shall Christians assist the Prince of
He'll, who was a murderer from the
beginning, by telling the world the ben
eft of war?n And do they stand by
Adam Clarke. where he pointedly as
serts that "war is as contrary to the
spirit of Christianity as murder; moth
ing can Justify nations i'll shedding
each others blood"
Ought Christians to act on this faith
and practice now, or are they to go
right along with the worlds estimate
of lighting and self-defense, and leave
the testimony to assert itself in a mil
lenium OF the future when there snail
be no cross-bearing, no self denial IN
echoing the ChrIstly declarations: MY
kingdom is not of this world; were my
kingdom of this world, then would
NV servants tight?" The primitive
Christians for three centuries fully be-
lieved and practiced just this Con,
stantine, in a formal way, embraced
Christianity, but in laying hold of the
Bible with his left hand, he made sure
that he and his legions had a good
grip of sword and spear with the
right.

Spirit lead us? Meekly to stand with

ries, or to train with Constituting and
