Good Hearinr More Desirable.

With regard to what constitutes good
preaching there is variety of views.
But il the term is employed to desig-
nate clear, forcible, earnest, tender
and attractive presentation of Divine
truth, then good preaching is very de-
sirable. But even then il is not so I'M
portant as good hearing. Good preach
ing pleases and may do nothing
more; good hearing profits, even
though the preaching is not of the
highest order A constant. attentive,
serious and earnest hearing of the word
can hardly fail to enlarge the under
standing or to quicken the affections,
And while the good nearer secures a
blessing to his own soul, he is at the
same time help to the preacher and to
his fellow-worshipers. He is an inspi-
ration to the preacher, and those who
witness his devout attention are stimu-
lated to a more serious and earnest ac-
ceptance of the Educational Pres.
byterian.

Power of Love.

Love doesn't go poking around, look
ing into closets and behind doors for
dust and cobwebs. Love never goes
chasing around talking about the neigh
bors, and telling idle tales that have no
foundation outside of fancy, and the
reason of it is that love does not think
evil. If we do not think evil we will
not speak evil. We have tattling tongues
because we have tattling hearts. Our
Saviour taught that the sin must exist
in thought before it can have being in
deed. Let rs keep our thoughts pure
and our lives will be pure.-Ram's
Horn.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Happy is the man that fudeth wis

Happy is he who hath the God of

Happy is that people whose God is

The Greater Evil.

There are those who are particular
never to break the laws of grammar,
and who want all their language an
elegant specimen of syntax, straining
out all the inaccuracies of speech with
a fine sieve of literary criticism, while
through their conversation go slande:
and innuendo, and profanity and false
hood larger than whole caravan OF
camels, when they might better frac'
ture every law of the language and
shock every intellectual taste, and bet
ter let every verb seek in vain for To-
nominative, and every noun for its gov
ernment, and every proposition lose it;
way In the sentence, and adjectives and
participates and pronouns get into 4
grand riot worthy of the Fourth ward
on election day, than to commit moral
inaccuracy. Better swallow Thousand
gnats than one camel.-Talmage, in N
Y, Observer,

FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
A NEW LEAF.

Our Ted Is full of merry fun
AS any boy can be;
Yet, for an errand to ! ? run
Stands always ready, he;
And when he hears his mothers call
He does not wait to doubt,
But drops his bat, or book, or ball,
With ne 'er frown or pout
He really is a model boy
We think, as wouldn't your
His fathers pride, his mothers Joy
So manly, brave and true;
Tor Just one little failing, though,
He's chided DER and DER;
Come heat or cold, come rain or snow,
He never shuts the door.
On New Years day his mother said
A twinkle in her eye:
Suppose you turn new leaf, Ted,
This morning; won't you try?"
Then Teddy laughed laugh of glee,
And gave his cap fling:
II can't, mamma; for there will be
No new leaves until spring."

Now nobody ever makes beast of
being conceited, or stupid, or untruth-
full, but, on the contrary, you could not
insult 4 friend more surely than by ac'
cusing him of possessing any of those
traits. Yet nine out of ten persons are
rather complimented by having their
acquaintance declare that they have
noticed their quickness of temper.
The reason possibly is this: quick
tempered and hasty people are
often very generous and kind
hearted Impulsive in anger, they
are also impetuous in their desire to
give pleasure. So the two opposite
qualities become confused in our minds,
and in many cases when we are prais-
ing the quicker temper we are really
thinking of the generosity OF heart.
am very sure, however, that on re-
Election we all admire more the self
control which represses hasty words,
than the ill-temper which blurts them
out with no regard to the feelings OF
others.
A great author, Thomas Carlyle, not
noted for patience, once met with a
great misfortune. He had written the
first volume of a history, which had
cost him no end of trouble and labor,
and had lent it to a friend to read. A
careless maid swept it off the friends
table, and kindled the fire with the
precious manuscript. Mr.. Carlyle bore
the loss without one reproachful word,
and verybody can see that he behaved
nobly.
God is very good to us many times in
our lives, but His goodness is never sc
great as when He prevents our ill tenn
per from making us wretched for life

we decided that it was better to econo-

with us-and lodged us on the street.

A seamless steel boat, which has been

The boat is fifteen feet long, feet

piece af steel. compressed into form by
powerful hydraulic machinery,
The company has an extensive plant,
containing a press weighing l65 tons,

1t is intended TO build the boats fol-

circle of Goals is put ON the outside of

tightly covered 1t takes from twenty
minutes to half an hour to cook this
way, and everything cooked is cooked
all over.
For baking, the preliminary prepara-

wonderful magician, the "forno di
campagna," that locks like a peck or
half bushel measure, according to its
size, made Of sheet iron and inverted.
There is an opening at one side, up
which slips the handle of the baking tin
or the saucepan, and over which the
form slips, settling firmly down on the
stove.
Under the dish that contains the ma
terial to be baked is the charcoal fire in
the CRATE; about it glowing Goals are put
and replenished before the glow dies out,
and on top of the "forno" more glowing
Goals are placed and treated in the same
way. Everywhere there is an equal diff
fusion of heat. Mince pies, sponge cake,
custards, bread and turkeys are Drowned

by an Italian, but by Frenchman, and
it would be quite possible to use it with
our charcoal stoves.-New York Sun.
