which you may consider Insignificant
may be tremendous for results, as
when on the sea. Capt. Haldane
swore at the ships crew with an oath
that wished them all in perdltion, and
Scotch sailor touched his cap and said,
captain! God hears prayer, and we
would be badly off il your wish were an
swered." Captain Haldane was convic-
ted by the sailors remark and converted
and became the means OF the salvation
of his brother Robert, who had been an
infdel, and then Robert became a min
lister Of the Gospel, and under his min
istry the goddess Felix Neff became the
world-renowned missionary of the Cross
and the worldly Merle D'Aubigne be-
came the author of The History of the
Reformation, and will be the glory of
the Church for all ages. Perhaps you
may do as much as the Scotch sailor
who just tipped his cap, and used one
broken sentence by which the earth and
the heavens are still resounding with
potent influences, Do something for
God, and do it right away, or you will
never do it at all.

Umbrellas in Turkey.

In many Eastern countries an UNI
brella is a mark of distinction, and its
use is confined to people of rank. Tur-
key is one of the few Asiatic coun-
tries where the umbrella is i'll COM
mon use, ard carried as protection
from rain. In most places its use is
that of a parasol. Says an Eastern
traveller: "Arrivngat Constantinoplc
from countries further to the East,
where the umbrella is considered
badge of high rank, l was much as
tonished to find ii in common use in
rainy weather. However. | soon
learned that traces of the same super
stition existed. One rainy morning |
had occasion TO walk along the road
which faces the Bosphoru'. One of
the buildings | passed is favorite
palace of the Sultan'S, in which he
was then residing. As approached
the gate with my umbrella over my
headone of the scntincls stationed there
accosted me in a threatening manner.
Not understanding what he said, [
went on, whereupon he ran at me with
his fixed bayonct leyciled.
cat that moment a friendly Turk,
who was walking behind me, snatched
my umbrella with violence from my
hand, and thrust mo forward. Then
the soldier returned to his station, and
allowed me to proceed in peace. On
returning my umbrella the Turk cx-
planned that everyone is obliged TO
take down his umbrella on passing
the actual residence of the Sultan. No
matter how heavy the rain, each per-
SON passing the palace must lower the
umbrella, and not raise it again until
fully past the building."-[ Ilarper's

The Dutch Stove.

| am convert 10 the German sys-
tenn of house heating. The Clutch
stove" has been regarded as an cx-
preston so contemptous as to be de-
risive. 1t is an institution possessing
the largest merits. The usual stove
in Berlin is tower of porcelain,
bound in brass, extending nearly to
the ceiling, and an article of furniture
pleasant to look upon. Stoves are ar
-tistic and not fantastic. They get
the most ont of fuel, and arc clean.
Within a few inches of the floor is a
thin brass door, not larger than
sheet of foolscap paper. 1t has q
light latch, and, open, discloses a
solid iron door of tho same size, and
on button hangs the key to screw.
Apply the key and open the door, and
within is third door with air-holes.
Open that and there is a chamber for
fuel.
The Germans have kindling in
small Jumps, that make a fire a sure
thing, and little black bricks of COM
pressed slack, stuck together with
tarry paste. Start the fire and close
the inner door, and when the bricks
are GLOWING shut tLe second door
screw it up tight, swinging the outer
door into its place, and you need no
more fire for twcnty-four hours. The
porcelain tower becomes warm, but
not blistering hot, and diffuses
warmth that is wholesome and COM
Portable. 1t is magical that SO much
heat can be evolved from so little
fuel, and that the process should be
one of absolute cleanliness.

4 Song for Her.

Sing for her, moekingbird,
Your warm breast heaying in the sunbright
blossoms;
Sing sweeter songs than We have ever
heard,
Until the wild heart of the world is
stirred,
Aud love wakes wondering in thousand
bosoms
Sing for her, lark Of dawn,
When on your breast the lofty light is gleam-
ing!
Sing sweet. and bear the message on
aud on
Higher and higher, TIL the world is gone,
And at Gods gates the melody is dreaming
Sing for her, whip-poor-wil,
Your sweet voice ringing from the twilight
covers,
Where stars stream splendid over vale
and hil;
Sing sweet, until your melting notes
shall thrill
And throng the wide, awakened world with
lovers!
Sing, moekingbirl! Sing, lark
Sing, whip poor-will- songs in concert
ringing
Sing in the dewy dawn-sing in the dark
But while We make your sweetest music,
hark!
A sweeter song to her my soul is singing!

Miss Vervain's Mistake,
By AMY RANDOLPH.

March in the mountains Freshcts
roaring down tho ravines; great
thickets of pines tossing their green
crcsts to and fro in the rush of the
tempGstuous wind; snow shining oil
on the platcaus, and pink clusters of
trailing arbutus breaking into bloom
i'll southern hooks and sheltered places
where last winters dead leaves had
not yet drifted away. And Lucy Vcr-
vain, standing in her russet walking
dress on the porch of the little noun
tain inn, wondered if the famous Bcr-
ncso Alps were grandcr than these
same Catskill heights,
Lucy Vervain was small and slight
and brown-skinned, but she had large,
wistful eyes of so dark n hazel that
they seemed to melt into black around
the iris, and there were quick roses
ready TO deepen i'll her cheeks if any
one spoke to her. She was pretty, in
her way. like wild-flowcr, or little
brown winged bird, and she looked
around with a troubled air, as the
sound of am excited feminine voice
noated out from he one unpretentious
little "best parlorn of the inn.
"Its outrageous" said Miss Clara
Vcrvain.
"rm very sorry, ma'am," said Mr..
Mkt, who kept the house.

ma'am," said Mr.. Mkt, mcekly.
"Its the most provoking thing l
ever knew in my life" said Miss
Vervain.
She stalked about the room like a
second Lady Macbeth, as she spoke.
For Clara was as unlike her blushing,
shrinking little sister as tie tall poppy
is to the humble corn-1ower. She
was handsome and stately, and wore
long trains to her dresses and bangles
on her wrists, and used perfume on
her handkcrchiefs and "did' her hair
