We have seen the following II a paper to
hand. and as there seems to be good practical
wisdom in 1t, we quote it; always try and
adapt yourself to circumstances. When you
go TO ciam-bake, do as the elRm-bakers do
eat. drink and be merry. 4 solemn man has
no place at a clam-bake- When you go 10 q
funeral, do As the mourners do Be quiet and
unobtrusive. \ Jester has no place at d
funeral. so in everything study the character
of the p you are in, and then accept
their sentiments as your own. This l. what
makes a man "a nice fellow to have around.

so obedient to the word of direction and
so sppreciative OF kindly treatment. The
pleasant good morning" from fellow
men, the kind aud ebligirg attendants in
the different places of business. The
great privilege of being lngatbered with
these workers, ffriend and frieud,'' whose
firm foundation is built upon the rock of
ages, and whose principle it is to be watch
full of the light within" that hearts may
be drawn nearer h~eavenward, and that all
may become better and better acquainted
with the great, tender, loving power of
Jesus, the soul Of the living source from
whence all blessings come.
Were we inhabitants of some heather
land where the light of Christianity had
not shone on every side of us we would
not wonder at the deusepess of the dark
ness in which some of US dwell. Sad in
deed is the thought of those races of peo-
pie who have never been told of Christ,
and the amount of blessings which some
people of an enlightened world continue to
accept as though they themselves were
the author of all the good things which
they do enjoy.
That awakened gentleWoman, Lady
Henry Somerset, who is attracting all
eyes and many hearts toward her ia her
visit to this country, where she came to at
tend the National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union recently held in
Boston, as we'll as to study
the workings Of other christia u
and philanthrophie movements, struck a
great chord of truth when she said in her
eloquent way, 'lt is time that christian
men and women should cease to sit con-
tented in the plenty of their comfortable
homes unconcerned about these who are
suffering and star wing around them"
1t was on account of this suffering aud
starving among Lady Henry's thousand:
of tenants through strong drink that
awakened this high-bred lady to the i'm
portance of this grand work in the capaci-
ty of which she comes to the American sis.
tiers as a co-worker with them.
The thought Of she beside our France;
