To Purify The Breath 1.-The freshest
of fresh eggs, and lemon juice, sugar,
almond oil and rose-water, mixed with
utmost care and cleanliness, stirred
and beaten for hours upon hours,
smelling delicately, as though rose
had been dipped into it, should make
a tempting cosmetic to create beauty
or restore it to itself. We all feel the
charm of "balmy breath that doth al
most persuade justice to sheath her
sword" and a few drops of this clear,
red liquid, poured into a glass of water,
will so purify the breath and all with.
in the lips, that one need not mind
how closely the hearers attention
hangs upon them. The same liquid
is sovereign for dyspepsia. and reduces
the interior to an amiable state very
quickly.

ECoNoMy.-The Presbyterian says
of this necessary virtue Economy
may be hard to practice, but for most
persons it is necessity. 1t is foolish
to live beyond ones income. It is also
sinful. We are defrauding others
when we spend that which we do not
earn, or cannot pay back. Luxuries
are desirable, but they can be dispens-
ed with. Extravagant living is one of
the crying sins of the day. Ameri-
cans, generally, live too fast, and run
too much in debt. Sooner or later, he
who spends more money than he
makes pays the penalty in broken for
tune, in ruined reputation, in wrecked
life, and in family disaster"

Refer than a Monument.

I freely confess to you that I had
rather, when I am laid down in the
grave, some one in his manhood would
stand over me and say, There lies one
who was real friend to me and privately
warned me of the dangers of the
young; no one knew it, but he aided
me IN the time of need. ] owe what ]
am to him."
Or would rather have some widow,
with choking utterance, telling her
children, "There is your friend and
mine. He visited me in my affiiction,
and found you, my son, an employer,
and you, my daughter, happy home
in virtuous family"
I say l would rather that such per-
sons would stand near my grave than
to have erected over it the most beau
tiful sculptured monuments Of Par
isian or Italian marble. The hearts
broken utterance of reflection Of past
kindness, and the tears of grateful
memory shed upon the grave, are more
valuable in my estimation that the
m ost costly cenotaph ever reared.-Dr.

Reverence.

There is no virtue, no grace, in pos
lures and attitudes. This truth we do
not question. But if we refuse to ex-
press reverence, we shall soon cease to
feel reverence. This is also truth.
1t is not enough to be interested, in
general sense, in the services of the
sanctuary. "God is greatly to be fear
ed (reverenced) in the assembly of the
saints and in the congregation" True
reverence, real worship, will express
itself some how as long as we are COM
pounded of body and spirit. Starve
expression, and how long will the feel
ing endure L? We are persuaded that
it has declined in many, If not most, OF
our congregations. 1t Is greatly to be
wished that it might be revived. But
in order that it may become a fixed
habit of our souls, we need to adopt
suitable methods of expression. We
should feel more like praying If We
adopted some proper attitude of prayer.
BY kneeiing, bowling the head, cover
ing the eyes-by some bodily action or
attitude expressive of reverent adora-
tion-we shall be far more likely to
cultivate the true spirit of devotion. -

The soul has no pillow on which to

"Use sometimes to be alone" What
beautiful words from dear George Her
bert. Distrust man who does not
love retirement in season. Amuse-
ment courts society, but religion loves
solitude. From of old, the worshiper,
like Abraham. seeks the heights. You
may place a shrine by the wayside,
but the altar In the market place has
but few worshipers. The first rule of
worship is, "enter into thy closet" !"
Even in the house of public prayer
we cannot pray with open eyes. The
soul must make for itself isolation
where it has sought companionship.
The ancient Roman, when he found
the city of Jerusalem at his feet, was
awed by the awful loneliness of the
holes of holes. The hermit fled from
the dgora to the mountain cell, never
vice versa. Spirituality is impossible
in crowd, and the city pastor labors
under disadvantage which the coun-
try brother little realizes. The first
are still the best.-Interior.

The Gift of Knees.

All men and women of power are
men and women of prayer. They
have the gift of the knees. waiting

effect on them that it has on an empty

They get filled. The time spent IN
waiting upon God is not wasted time.
'T have so much to do ", said Martin
Luther, "that 1 cannot get on with
less than two hours a day in praying"

The Filling Of Graves.

We have been asked to call attention to the
fact that grave diggers leave the cemeteries
before the burial, and thus leave the pail
bearers and others TO Ill the graves. We
have long thought that 1t would be as reason
able to expect the pail bearers TO dig the
graves az to fill them. We have mention ed
this matter simply because we nave oeen
asked TO do so, not that we have any zeal one
way or the other.
