Illustration.

In giving instruction to children 1t
is frequently hard to explain an idea
to them in words which will convey
the precise meaning to their minds.
1t is easiest to teach truth to a child
by an illustration, and, to he of any
value, the illustration must he taken
from their own experience. The new
idea must come out of the old. BY
this method children can be taught
new and proper words to express
their ideas, and this will, in time. i'm
prove their language long before they
have notion what 'grammar" and
"rhetoric". mean. Mamma" said a
little boy, " ! read the other day that
Mr.. Heaten had a great deal Of en-.

"Enthusiasm is such an intense love

that we overlook other things for its

"Finished and Folded Up"

up, and | am heartily glad p' said
Bertha, as she took off her little thin
bic, and laid on the table a pretty
blue muslin dress, on which she had
been busy for several days.

"Pretty we'll done for me, auntie :;
mother says l improve in dressmak-

"That is encouraging. Now, Bertha,
do you know that something else OF
yours is also finished and folded up
this evening?'
"What else can it be, Aunt Mabel ?
This is the only piece of work I have
had to do this week, unless it Is that
tidy. do not expect to see the end
of that these six weeks"
"Still you have finished and folded
up something more important than
your tidy, or your dress even; some.
thing that will n OF be unfolded again
for ages, perhaps and yet you will
see it again with every line and fold.
Your days history is done and gone
from your keeping. You may remodel
the dress if it does not please you, but
you cannot change one jot or title OF

Devotion I'm q Bird.

Here is touching story, if true, of
conjugal affection among the birds.
A few days ago a fancier found the
dead body of male pigeon lying on
the floor Of the pigeon house. The
female bird, 'das Weibchen," was
solrowing at the side of the corpse.
He threw the dead bird into the yard,
and the female Immediately flew after
it and took her stand at its side, He
moved the body several times out of
curiosity, and each time he found the
widow" flew to the spot and kept
close to her dead mate. At last he
shut up the female and buried the
corpse. Half all hour afterward he
again set her free, when she flew about
restlessIy from spot to spot as if in
search of the missing body. For the
next four days she left her food un-
touched and on the fifth day she died,
"a striking example as the writer says,
"of wife's love among animals"

The father of Hon. Chauncey M

harder one-and the old gentleman
stood by and let me tussle and fight it

heart and gratitude I have for that. If

would I have been? I would have
been up in Peekskill tonight nursing

by what exceptional luck they had got

Mem are coming to feel tnat riches
stand more in the way ola young
mans success than poverty. When-
ever the child's condition Is such that
it does not invite effort, but is lulled
by kindness, his faculties become
smothered and dwarfed, and he is
thereby deprived of freedom and inde-
pendence, of character which condi-
tions his happiness. Emerson says:
"He is no whole man until be knows
how to earn blameless livelihood"

What Is Charm.

A catalogue of charms and graces is
made by poetic lovers for their mis-
tresses, and the fashion reporters are
expert in this line for the maids and
matrons who figure in society.
One charm is not so often empha-
sized as it deserves to be, and that is
the simple and ever-winning charm of
naturalness. 1t bears the stamp of
honesty, and it is often associated with
a sympathetic quality. At any rate,
it is pleasantly human, and capti-
Yates.
Artificial people are oppressive even
when they have certain talent. They
cannot conceal distasteful self con-
sciousness which exhibits itself when
they enter and leave room, in their
choicely picked st ntences, VIII -ch have
an insincere flavor, and in short in
every lineament, gesture and speech.
Such persons try to be agreeable,
and often wonder why there is always
q fine barrier between them and those
they wish to please. They. rarely
suppose that chronic affectation is their
bane, and that even their really good
qualities are marred by it. They live in
an unreal world, ofwhich they themsel-
YES are the center; and when they
come out of it to mingle with people,
they bring their hallucinatioDs and
unWholesome ideas with them, and
this leads to multitudinous counter
felt little roles, which, persevered in,
would destroy every veracious instinct.
They initiate the natural and unattec-
ted people, but do it in a theatrical
way, and the imitation bears a very
poor resemblance to the genuine ar
ticle.
Such persons unhappily KEEP up
these poor tricks to an advanced age.
They rarely reform.

ASermOn In n Circus Tent

Forepaugh's circus was in Chicago
last week. On Sunday morning there
was no performance and MIR. Moody
hired the big tent for gospel service
A great multitude variously estimated
at from 10000 to $1,000, was present.
1t was q 81 ght which one will not see
more than about once in lifetime.
MIR. Mcneil and Mr.. Moody each
preached a shcrt sermon, and the
singing was lively and rapturous. We
do not believe there were twenty dis
interested people there. Attention
was eager and sustained. The words
of the preachers fell upon many ears
unaccIstomed to the gospel message
Some veteran circus people had not
heard sermon for almost a lifetime.
Mr.. Moody's text was the one upon
which he SO often preaches For the
Son of man is come TO seek and to save
that which was lost" After he had
finished, little boy with handsome
face and form was brought to the plat
form by an officer, who said he had
found him wandering in the crowd,
evidently lost. Mr. Moody took the
little fellow i'm his arms and, standing

ple to look at. the lost child. This
boy has a father who is no doubt at
this moment looking for him with
anxious heart" said the preacher.
"The father is more anxious to- find his
boy than the boy is to be found. 1t is
lust so with our Heavenly Father.
He is seeking us to-day seeking us
with unspeakable solicitude. For long
years He has beenIfollowing you, oh,
sinner; He is following you still. He
ie calling to you today :" At this in
slant q man with blanched face and
excited eye was seen elbowing his way
toward the platform. AS he reached
it the little boy saw him and, running
quickly over the platform, threw him.
self into the fathers outstretched
arms. The multitude witnessed the
scene with breathless attention, and
then broke out into mighty cheer.
"Tkus," cried Mr.. Moody, "will God
receive you if you will only run to
Him to-day. The Son of man is come
to seek and to save that which was
lost.n The impression made by the
incident was very great, and as the
people filed out many eyes were filled
with tears. God providentially gave
to the preacher most vivid and
effective object lesson with which to
illustrate and enforce his message.

Memory's studies are all the rage
nowadays. But every Christian ought
also TO drill himself in art of forget
ting.
Forget evil imaginations.
Forget the slander you have heard.
Forget the fault of your friends.
Forget the meanness of small souls.
Start out every day with clean
sheet.
Forget the Misunderstanding of yes
terday.
Forget the disagreeable people whose
talk poured vinegar into your spirit.
Be lovely, be loving. See how much
sunshine you can produce.
Forget all malice, all fault-finding'
aN injuries; all hardness, all unlovely
and distressful things.---Christian
Helper.
Personal work for Christ is a vague
expression. Go and do something for
some needy fellow creature. That Is
definite.
People who have the least sympathy
for others are those who have been the
least tried and tempted themselves.

Slips of the Tongue.

There is a queer and most embarras-
sing faculty which we all possess at
some time in our lives, of meaning
one thing and saying another.
When a rather dapper young man
was introduced to a very distinguished
lady, he bowed low and said:
II think, madam, you have had the
pleasure of meeting me before"
Such mistakes are very frequent on
the platform of the amateur perform
ance. A regular attendant of these
places noted the following absurd mis-
takes. some of which were either un.
observed by the audience, or supposed
to be the proper thing in the proper
place. A charming young lady thus
rendered climax i'm a celebrated poem
$50, your liver loves" said Crom-
we'll, "curfew shall not ring tonight"
In another recitation the reader said,
"Clasped to her heart the throbbing
boy.n Avn orator made an unexpected
effect by thus reversing matters: "He
tests at wounds who never felt scar. !"
The pet of the family having been
duly instructed in his part, goes on
the platform and begins boldly,
"IwishI had little pat
To dog him on the head"
This is equaled by recent young
hero who, with all the confidence in
the world, approached the audience
and began
"Under the spreading blacksmith tree
The Village chestnut stand"
These little alterations are very
amusing to everybodv, but those who
are the cause of them. 1t is never
pleasing to be the one who takes the
figurative step from the sublime to the
ridiculous.

WeddinS.Gift Burdens.

A young couple just starting in life
with only enough for simple and eco
nomical living, received at their we'd
ding several hundred handsome, ex-
pensive and many.of them ornate pre-
sents; presents from relatives they
had never seen, from mere .acquain-
tances and from people for whom they
cared nothing. 1t took them years. as
they said, to live down these presents.
Many of them they simply put in a
cafe deposit vault; but they felt under
obligation to each giver of gifts,. and
when, in turn, these friends and ;ae-
quaintances were married, the young
couple felt in duty bound not only"to
send them present, but one that as
nearly as possible approached in finan-
cial value that given them. 1t be-
hoves us to call a halt in the giving Of
engagement presents, and to curb as
much as possible promiscuous giving
in wedding presents. A wedding is a
family rite, and an intimate sharing
in it belongs to those alone who are
nearest the bride and groom in blood
and in sympathy.

Astronomy is his favorite science, and
