Little Folks. 1 The mittleto ia a ihrub which grow or Jivee upon certain trees, such aa the apple, Kar and hawthorne. it is found aIo oa nee, poplars, firs and sycamores, and, xnore rarely, on oaks contrary to the popular belief. The white berries are fall ot a thick, clammy juice, by which the seeds are fastened to tbe branches where they take root. The mistletoe baa been the object of a err special regard for centuries, and traces 01 thia high esteem still survive in the wellknown Christmas custom. One -variety of this practice baa it that each time a kiss is Gatched unizi the mistletoe a berry is plucked from the bush, and that when the cerriea have all been removed the privilege cetccs. Tne Druids thought that the mistletoe which grew upon the oak poictssd inimical virtues, and they valued it accordingly. One of their priests la a white robe cut off the precious bush with a golden knife. Canning. Even a barn-yard fowl learns from experience and by observation. Every country boy knows that hens will follow a horse or a cow about the meadow to catch the insects disturbed by the animal's grazing. Bat Mr. Kenneday tells, in his "Wonders of the Railway," a singular story ot illustrative of a hawk's sagacity. The reader has doubtless often admired the beauty of the smoke rolling in a thousand involved curves of beauty from the funnel of a locomotive. A cunning old hawk, in France, has also admired for a longtime this black clone! of tmcke, but not for its aesthetic beauty. For fifteen years, the feathered pirate has accompanied the train from Mesgivny to Eomilly, hiding in the smoke and steam pouring forth from the engine. The old rascal knows that the email birds, which fly up from the grass and shrubs on the approach of the train, can not see him in the smoke. He therefore files in this hiding-place, going slowly or fast with the train, that he may mere eaaily pounce upon his prey. Do. The girls who have pored over the pages cf the little book called "Don't," are now invited by an exchange to accept advice in regard to things they should do. Do be natural; a poor diamond is better than a good imitation. Do try to be accurate, not only for your own saze, out zor me sage or. your sex ; the incapacity of the female mind for accuracy is a sttnaaxa argument against the equality ef the sexes. Do be exact in money matters: every debt you incur means loa to some one, probably to some one less iDie than yoa to bear it. Do answer your letters soon after they are received, and do try to reply to them with relation to their contents; a rambling, illconsidered letter is a satire upon your education. Do observe: the faculty oi observation. well cultivated, make? practical men and women. Do attach as much importance to your xnlnd aa to your body. Do recollect that your health is of more importance than your amusement; you can live without one, but you'll die early without the other. Do try to be sensible; it is not a particular sign of superiority to talk like a fool. Do be ready in time for church; if you do net respect yourself sufficiently to be punctual, respect the feelings of other people. Do get np in time for breakfast. Do avoid causes or irritation in your family circle; do reflect that home is the place in which to be agreeable. Do be reticent; the world at large has no interest in your private affairs. Do cultivate the habit of listening to others; it will make you an invaluable member of society, to say nothing of the advantage it will be to you when you marry. Do be contented; "martyrs" are detestable; a cheerful, happy spirit is infectious; yon em carry it about with like a sunny atmosphere. Do avoid whispering; It is as bad as giggling; both are to be condemned; there is no excuse for either of them; If you have any thin 2 to aay, say it, if you have not, do hold your tongue altogether; silence is rolden. Do be truthful ; do avoid exaggeration. If you msrn a mile, say a mile, and not a mile and a half; if yon mean one, say one, and not a dozen. Do, sometimes, at least, allow your mother to know better than you do; she was educated before you were born. Andy. lYouth's Companion! Aunt Bitty shook her head in smiling protest aa I beld np a photograph with the rtcutst, 'Just tell me about this one, aunty " The dear soul had settled herself to the hulling of tons luscious 8cotch runners, and after looking hesitatingly at the rounded young face in the picture, with its almond eyes and clustering hair, she said: "Well, dear, if von inaist, I will, but let me tell you in the beginning, there's not much to tell ia Andy's life more'i the pity! "He was Enoe Pax ton's boy. Eaos was always a good neighbor and a reliable map. He married Lyddy Ann Parker. Lyddy Ann was a well-meaning woman, but she was ne of thcts people who think they know everything and need to learn nothing. Tfiey bad four girls and one boy. In age he was in the middletwo of the girls belDg older and tuo younger than he. And you may be sure be was conaidarable of a circumstance in tbe family, while tte girls were only Andy's sitters.1 Evf rybody said. 'What a. family of airle Enoe baa! but to tell ths truth, thsiililhcr thought but little of

thtm; his whole heart was bound up in the !

Doy. "Andy did teem a nice boy, as boys go; fair-featured and pleasant, although with large self-conceit whicn he came honestly by from his mother. "I remember I happened oyer tb ere one day,-when Enos had just given him a piece cf ground to be need as a garden of his own. It seemed he'd been bepging 83 hard for it, that Enos gave him a nice spot 6outn of the currant bushes. He had dressed and spaded it. and given it over to him all ready for planting; and there Andy was, working awsy &8 happy as could be. Ue called me, and I stopped a moment to listen to what be had to fay. 'You see, it's mine.' be said. 'Father hasn't any mors to do with it than you have. I tell you, it'll be just the finest garden! I'll have the tallest corn and the biggest squash and the nicest melons! And you won't see a weed. And I'm going to sprinkle it with the watering-pot when it's dry. Oh, don't go! I want to tell you more. Bat I had to go then, though his earnestness pleased me, and it was a pleasant picture to carry away, of the bright-faced little fellow, so happy and eager at work In his Rar den. 'Well, some weeks after, as 1 went by to the Corner's, I saw Andy sitting, whittling, on one of the posts, and I went to the fence and locked over to see how the garden looked. Cat, bless me! there was only a patch of weeds there, and an old hen scratching away for a brood of young chicks! 4 'How is this?' eaid I, 'Where's your garden?' Oh, it's no good,' he replied. It was too much woik. 1 gave is up long ago. See here! I'm making a water-wheel to put in the brook in the clover lot. Noah Sbipnaan has one, and the water goes tinkle, tinkle over it just as nice! Butthis'll teat his all hollow. Jost you let me show it to you after I get it working! 'A little wnile after Lyddy Ann sent him over to borrow a colander, and I asked him about the water-wheel. 'Oh, he Slid, in a careless way, I didn't finish it. The wood was too hard and my knife was too dull. I'm going to snare rebbita now. Dick Parker sets his snares down in the swamp. He got four last week, but I'll beat that! He says he'd like to tee me, but I'll show him! "Somehow he made me think of an old black horse we had, who, when first harneEsed.champed and pawed and seemed ready to tear everything to pieces, but who, when steady work began, gave out entirely. After Andy began to go to school, we heard a good deal about his smartness at book-learning. He was quick al it, and there was no denying he had good natural abilities. Encs grew prouder than ever of him, and had no idea of stinting him in bis education, though he was a man to turn a penny over pretty carefully before he spent it. The girls, too, were willing that every chance over and above any they'd ever had should xro to making a man of Andy. "He'd set his heart on having a colleze education, and so the whole family did what they could to give him one. The hardest part came on tne girls, tor Eno. though he was a good citizen and a reliable neighbor, had the fault of beitg too niggardly taward bis daughters. "All the little ornaments that freshen ud a young girl's dress he grumbled at, and even the butter-money, which Lyddy Ann eaid she thought might be given to the girls. Enos put into his own pocket. "So Enos, to do more for Andy, was closer tban ever with the girls. And they were so willing and patient with it all, especially Gerty, the oldest one, that their self-sacrifice was a noble thing to see, and a ton chin thine, too. "We all thought that Andy ought to be wonderfully grateful to them, and ought, therefore, to make the moet of his advantages. Gertie, who had learned the tailoring trade, began cow to go out into families to sew and cut garments, and wherever she went she kept folks informed of Andy's progress. Tm only afraid he'll injure himself bv hard stndr.' the said in m. Ha' an ambitious. Poor Andy! I'm anxious about the kind of cooking thev give him he al ways had such a delicate stomach and whether his bed is made as it oua'it to be ana ms cioines menaea rignuy. liiere are plenty of things to worry me about him. l'ye always looked after him from the time he was a baby and I a little toddler.' " 'Don't worry about him, Gerty, I said. 'I tkink he's able to look after his own comfort, and I guess he'll stand the study, " 'But he's so ambitious I1 she replied. 'I wish I had brought over his last letter. He did write so beautifully! Borne of it I've read over and over, until I know it heart. He Bays,"I want to soar above the grovelling herd and write my name in imperishable lustre in the annals of my country! I would rather never have been born tban not accomplish some great work In the world. It remains forme to shed lustre upon tue hitherto bumble name of Faxton." " -Isn't that beautiful!' she exclaimed, in admiration. 'Father said he didn't think we had a much humbler name than most folks, but it was a truth that we never had any great tcholara or public men in our Xamily, and it wasn't beyond probability to eay mas u was in Anay's power to be President some day!" 'Dear child! bow proud and happy she looked as she talked! But the time went oa slipping quietly away from all of us, and some in the neigh berhood were married, and some were dead, but the most of us were living quietly as usual, when Andy graduated and came borne. He had grown tall and was a citifled-Iooking young man, with a polish in his manners that made some of the young folks rather shy of him. "Simon met him one day, and when he came home, he said, as if be was a little angry, 'Hitty, because a lad has been to colIege.must he set himself up to be the Hub of ot Universe? True learning is modest to my thinking: something after the manner of charity according to the Apostle, '-vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up." But the boy is young; he'll learn wisdom probably, and the I in his alphabet won't be much bigger than the U in Urne.' "It was about that time Gertie brought me over the picture you've been looking at. It was a rainy day, and she paddled through the mud and came in with damp clothes and quite out of breath. ' 'Just see what I've brought you!' said she, laughing like a child. 'I was determined yon should have one, but a dozen pictures don't go far when everybody wants one. This is the very last! I thought I'd bring it over and begin that pair of pants for Uncle Simon. Somehow, l'ye been taking more of a play-spell than I ouht lately. We'v been so happy to have Andy home, and we've found considerable to do for him. I suppose you know that he's decided to become a doctor, and is going to Brooklyn to attend lectures? Fatner says there never was a doctor in the Paxton family. Andy is so enthusiastic over it, it's nice to see him. I've hemstitched him a set of finejhandkerchiefs and we've been making him a dozen new shirts. " 'Somehow, it does seem r.s if he hai gone beyond us; our ways aint his any longer, for we've been standing still. I couldn't blame him if be felt a little ashamed of our ignorance and old-fashioned ways. I feel at times like apologizing for our poor manners. I'm so afraid they fret him. He's made such a gentleman of himfelf! " 'Father was short of help yesterday in the potato-field, but I heard him tell mother it didn't seem quite the thing to ask Andy to come out ana do such work; so ßereny and I helped dig them. It came more natural for us to do it!' "Tut! tut! Aahamed of his folks, Gerty!' said I. 'If he's a true man, you shame him by f npposing It. If he's ashamed of those who've been his best friends, then theie's no manlinees ia him. 'He's not ashamed,' she said, eagerly. ! never said he was. He puts up with everything. He's as good as can be, and as willing. Only yeeterday he said to me, after I came in from the well, 'Gerty, why didn't you ask me to get the water?' But dear me! xtat was the me of my disturbing him.whn he fat so contentedly reading in the rocker? lien fath?r iaaiwajs so unwilling to get the

Vftvea tK alwA It am a mm m 4- I

it ; but Andy Is ready to drive us over to the Corners at any time.' - "Somehow I couldn't see from what she eaid that Andy was very self -sacrificing, an d I was inclined to say he should do favors without waiting to be asked, but what wai the uae of hurting her feelings? S3 1 did not reply. She was so gentle one couldn't bear to hurt her. "By-an d-by as she was bssting awsy on her work, she said, 'Saline Plumley has a new blue frilk ; it's real handsome.' " 'Yes,' eaid I, Tve seen it- And Isn't it about time you treated yourself to a new dress, Gerty? "She colored up. 'Father's hsvl poor crops tbis year on account of the dry spell; and Andy's going to Brooklyn '11 take the extra pennies." I can turn my old one.' I was sure now when I heard her lay this that her own earnings went to help Andy. 'Loving, unselfish child!' I thought. 'I hope for her sake he'll make a noble man.' "Xow.dear, if you'll credit it,it wasn't more than six months afterwards that I heard tha: Andy had charged hi" mind and had given up the study of medicine for that of the law. "The moment I beard It my thought went back to his boyhood, and I law a,i:ain that plot of land south of the currant-bushea, with the old ben scratching away in the wilderness ol weeds. Ah, yes, 1 thought, the boy is the father of the man. Little Andy didn't like the work, the hoeing and weeding, and was drawn from it to something that was new and therefore more attractive. Bi Andy was showing the tame ncklenets. "Well, when we cot the news a year afterwards that Andy had given up the law and was editor of a newspaper, we were astounded and couldn't help expressing quite decided opinions among ourselves. 'Holling stones gather no moss,' said Simon. I declare I'm disappointed in the' boy. I wonder waat Encs thinks about it?' "Gertrude brought us over a paper witu an article in it that Andy had written. Simon sat down and read iL ' 'Fair to middle,' said he, after he finished; 'but it's more sound than argument, according to my thinking!' Looking at Gerty I saw her eyes flash and felt uncomfortable for her. " How could you eay that before her?' said I after she'd gone. " Fact Is, mother,' he replied, 'I forgot she was aittlng there; but, dear me, it don't seem an unkindness to open her eyes. Her e they've looked forward, and have hopedand believed that Andy would be a great man, and have stinted themselves to edacate him. What good have they done him? I tell you frankly,' he has no back bone, and in his conceit he thinks the earth was just created for Andy Faxton. He's selfish tnrough and through.' "Time passed on, and whatever became of Andy's paper I don't know, but the next thing I heard w&s that he'd gone into a scheme with a man in New York for making some new kind of metal. I can't remember the name of the metal, but perhaps you've heard about it. It was said to look like gold, but was not so heavy, and didn't rust or tarnish. They declared It could be put to all sor e of uses, from making carriage-bodies to water pails. It was the invention of the age. They declared there were millions of dollars in it "Atdy and his partner had come from New York to see Enos. and they did some loud talking. The partner was a little til in man, with brown whiskers. He had an eve like a fox, and his tongue ran like a millwheel. He told wonderful stories; said he was an inventor, and had patented a large number of successful inventions. He had about concluded, he said, to build a manufactory over at the Corners fcr making a fan, parasol and cane, all in one. It would take a hundred hands, he eaid, and would double the population of the town in a year, and some of the young folks began to talk about working in it. "But etill this was as nothing compared with tbe metal business. To hear Andy talk abcut that was lice standing on tbe edge of a mine and seeing untold treasures. It almost made your head reel. "Our hired man, George Bruges, wai sulky tbe whole day after he heard it talked over the night before. 'It was dog's work,' he said, 'to plough and sweat, and grub along for farm wages, when you eaw men contriving a wav to haul in money like that, and no hard work with it either!' "Andy's folks were greatly pleased. 'Oar boy has used his brains to some purpose,' said Lyddy Ann, who Tvent from house to house, talking like a child. 'He says we sha'n't stay much longer in this Rip Van Winkle place. That's what he eaid, though I hardly knew what he meant. Dear, dear, it confutes me to think what he's going to da for ns!' "Somehow everybody's faith in Andy seemed to have come back brighter than ever. The Eagle, tte weekly paper, spoke ot him as 'our enterprising young townsman,' and Sundays at Church it seemed as if folks cared more to see him than the minister. And he was free and affable to everybody and didn't seem set up by bis prospects. You see, child, no one in our place had ever made a wonderful fortune, and these who bad laid by for a rainy day had done it through faithful work and judicious saving. But it seemed since Andy had come back, that some of our plain, steady young men were feeling dissatisfied with their lives on account of Andy's projects. "Simon said little about Andy. But one day be came in greatly disturbed. 'It's a müerable ehame!' he exclaimed. 'Andy's persuading Enos to mortgage his farm for three thousand dollars so as to give him capital to help that rogue carry on that fool's business! I'm afraid Kaoa'll be persuaded to do it. It's a wicked statue. Enos has besn a good citizen and a hard-working, saving man. I don't say but what he is mjät too close In some ways, hut then, he is h inest, and now to see him at bis age, "with those girls who need a home, putting himself on the road for Andy! It worries me 83 I can't sleep. He's clean daft. I'm going to see and have a talk with him. Pernaps he'll think it isn't my business, bot it is. if I'm going to care for my neigabar as myeclf.' ' But Enos took affront at Simon's counsel. Old Jonas Christie took a mortgage on Enos' farm, and Andy and his partner took the money, and everybody waited to tee how the matter tnrned out. How did It turn out?" "Well, dear, as some of us expected. It went to nothing like a soap babble, and everything ws8goae. The three thou&a id dollars vanished into air. We never saw the partner again, but Andy came home, and the Lord cnJy knows what tue family eaffercd, for he and his famer had hard words, and Andy left home and went West. Gertrude sobbed as if her heart would break when she told me. K'j so hard oa Andy,' said she, 'He wasn't to blame that that wicked Mr. Denison deceived him but father blamed Andy. Andy said he couldn't bear to stay home and see us in trouble. It broke his heart. He said he'd had more discouragement than anybody living, but be was bound to make his way yet. Father was unjust to him, but he'd forgive him. He said he meant to pay me back every penny cf my earnings I'd ever give him. I said, "No, no, Andy. Ail I want is to see you do welL" But be said he would, and he'd do so well by ns all that folks would be obliged to eay that Andy Paiton had done, Kell by his family. Nothing was ever thrown away on him.' "But as the months passed by and they got no word from him. Gerty su tiered terribly. And the whole family sufTered, too. Nobody could help pitying them. Work and save their best, they could barely scrape together the interest on the three-thousand-dollar mortgage, over and above their living expenses, to lay nothing of the principal that loomed over them like a shadow. "Enos grew surly and cross. 'Father i so bard with all of us,' said Gerty one day. 'He won't let us speak about Andy, and the house isasfolemn as if some one lay dead in iL Mother frets and can't sleep nights, and the Ems are cownceariea, ana say tney are tiaved to dtath. And no letter comes fr:m

Andr, and I think be may be sick and In trouble alcne among strangers, and it breaks my Leart! '"Last night,' she said, 'I was standing down by the ate about dusk,' poor child. Serenv told me afterwards that Gerty would go down there acd ctand and look up and down the read almost every evening when she was at home 'and I thought,' she said, I taw Ardy comiDc ""und the turn. It chilled me from hf ad t ot I tried to call, but my voice was in m throat, and then I didn't know no more till I cane to, with my bead in Serny's lap and Ellen bathing it. It mas the first time in my life I ever hid a faint turn; but It wni only Jim Dennis comivp, that I'd seen. But he's Andy's siz9 and build. But jntt wait. Aunt Hitty, Andy will ccme back tome day and make it all up to father.' "And when she died the next May these were the last words she said to Eaos, 'Father. Andy'll come back and make it all right.' " The last berry was hulled and the dish wbs rounded over. Aunt Hitty arose, wathed her stained fingers, and went and tcok down her lit le blue album. "This Is Gerty, dear," she eaid, opening the book. I looked at the plain, gentle face, with its patient month and smoothly banded hair. I did not wonder Aunt Hitty kept it in the blue album. "And Andy, Aunt Hitty 7" An odd smile crept over her lips. "Do you remember the man wha came here to sell me that bottle of stun" and same sotder to meLd my old tins with, a couple of weets ago?" Did I remember? Yes, d'stinctly. The seedy-looking, giib-tongued, middle aged man with an odor of stale tobacco and whisky about him, and a jaunty air that clung to him like a pale ghost of former days. He had stayed to dinner and I remembered his voracious appetite and his dismal whine about the injustice and selSshraces of the world. "O Aunt Hitty! You eure'y don't rxean" "Yes, dear. That was Andy." THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL.

International Lessons By Henry Bf . Grout, D. D. January 25. Fanl Goiog to Jerusalem. Acts: 21.1.14. Golpen Text. The will of the Lord te done. Acta 21:14. 1. How the world may help the Chrietiau cn his way and in his work (1 S) "Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God?" Not always. And yet it has many forces of which we may take advantage. The ships which bore Paul's company on their way to Jerusalem were the instruments of commerce. Men built them and sent them out for purposes of gain. They had no thought of helping on the kingdom of Christ, and yet they were a great part cf the means by which the gospel was spread. Ss now commerce helps the missionary enterprise, carrying men and Bibles and printing-presses everywhere. And God's providence may De teen in this. He is in it all, providing and ordering that it shall be ready at our hand. It is a part of Christ's wisdom ever to keep watch over the world's enterprise and methods and to turn them to its own account. ?. An important mark of an earnest Christian (4 ). The course of the ship took tbe company past celebrated cities, scenes of historic interest, famous works of art, and schools of learning. At Coos, the birthplace of Hippocrates, was a renowned temple of Aesculapius and a school of medicine: at Rhodes was the huge Colossne, one of the seven wonders of the world: at rata r a was a temple and oracle of Apollo. But none of these things was of primary interest to Paul and those with him. Eeaching Tyre, it is said "Finding disciples, we tarried there seven days." The real meaning is, "finding with effort, after a search." Had he been like some of ns modern Christiane, he would have waited tobe himself found out. But nothing was so congenfal to Him as tbe company of Christians. Perhaps he could do them good. He would know how their cause waa prospering. He sought out the d isciples. How many Christiau travelers who now go to Par:s,or Rome, or great places nearer heme, make baste to put themselves Into relations with Christians there? Some. mcviDg into a new place, are not swift to nd the Christian people, acd join themeelves to them. Often tnev wait to be themeelves eoaght, invited, and fiattered. The mark of an earnest Christian is that, wherever he goes, he is quick to attach himself, both for delight and usefulness, to the Christians there. 3. The possibility of misapprehending the voice of the Spirit (4). At Tyre some "said to Taul, through the Spirit, that be should not go up to Jerusalem." Still he passed ob. Did he refuse to be governed by inspired counsel? We can not believe that. The common explanation of the difficulty is that what the Spiiit did for these disciples was to disclose to them the facts of Paul's peril: the supposition that he should not proceed being an inference of their own. So there was a confusion of the Spirit's teachings and their own imaginations. Often this is, or might be, true. Even one in whom the Spirit finds obedient welcome, may easU ? add to, or take from, his monitions. Specially will this be the case when our own impulses or feelings are stronsr The negro who eaid "Conscience, conscience! Why, it's something in here whith says I wen'u' " was not unlike some others who confound self-will, inclination or impulse with both conscience and tbe Spirit After all, we must use Chrietain judgment, compare scriptuie With scripture, and be much ia prayer. 4. The winning power of a loving nature (5). The ecene on the shore at Tvre brings to view the fact that the religion of those days was a household religion. This is the first distinct allusion to children in the early churches. There bad been household baptisms, but no specific reference to children. Here we find them among the escorts of the Apostle. No doubt the parents were wont to take them to all religious gatherings. It is not always so in these days ; and here is a serious mistake. Train the little ones in the church, the prayer-mestfn?, and every kind of religious gathering: let tkem grow up in tbe atmosphere of religion, then they will not so often wander. But this ecene also discloses the affection 61 all these disciples for the AposUe. Perhaps none of them had ever seen him before. He had now been with them but a week. But how he bad won their hearts! Men, women and tbe little ones all fiocked to see him off. All knelt together on the shore. What a rugged Christian he was! How fearless and energetic! And yet he did not repel. He drew all. Children did not run from him. Whv? Taul had a great, tender, loving heart. He wept with those that wept, and rejoiced with those that rejoiced. The grandest Christians are the most loving and loved. 5. Now God has work for all (S). The first point of interest in connection with the arrival and stay at Cesarea, was the finding of Philip there, and the fact not only that he was still doing the work of an evangelist, but that his was a Christian house, and that his daughters were helpers of his ministry. This was tbe fulfillment of an ancient prophecy quoted by Peter (2:17). "Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy." To "prophesy" was not always to foretell events: It was to preach or teach God's truth. These daughters were helping to make Crist and His gospel known just how and in what places we are not told. Perhaps it was from house to house, and in assemblies of women. So then, as cow, Christian women were amcrg the ioremctt in work, and the

daughter helped to tell ihe story of Christ. This was the Philip who interpreted the fifty third chapter of Isaiah to the Ethiopian bo bleman. Such a man would be sure to have a Christian home, and children engaged in Christian work. C The trials and supports of a steadfast purpose (10-14). Paul's purpose waa to go up to Jerusalem. He had with him the contributions of the Gentile churches for the poor saints there, and expected to accomplish something by diearming Jewish prejudice and uniting Gentile and Jewish Christions in a closer bond. His heart's desire and piajertoGcd for Israel was that they might be saved. But how sorely was his faith tried. Agagus, a certain prophet of whom we have before heard (11:25), forewarned him of the ill sure to befall him if he carried out his purpose resorting to figurative action, common among Jews, to make the prediction more impressive. Then, even Paul's companions and the diciples at Cesarea, icculding, no doubt, Philip and his family, joined in the endeavor to dissuade him from going on. Could a man's faith or his courage be more sorely tried? What was it which sustained him in his purpose and made him so steadfast? He had a clear conviction that it was his duty to go. Then, with his love for Israel, he had great love to Christ. Elsewhere he had said, "The love of Christ constraineth us." Here he saje, "I am ready not to be bound only, but a so to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus." There was the secret cf it all.

A slight sensation of uneasiness is produced, which does not, however, prevent the patient from going to sleep. A German experimenter, Professor E. tVollny, has found that soil covered with living herbage or dead vegetable matter is colder in summer and warmer in winter than bare soil under otherwise similar conditions. The difference of temperture is greatest in summer and least in spring and autumn. Bare soil heats more quickly in the spring and cools more quickly in antumn than that covered with living or dead vegetable matter. Not enly, says Brundenell Carter, has the acuteness of vision of civilized man fallen below the standard common among savage nations but at the same time the eyes of civililized men often depart from the normal or approximately spherical formation, either becoming flattened from front to back, so as to bring tbe retina too near the surface, or elongated from front to back, so as to remove the retina too far from the surface. Transfusion of blood has been successfully tried in the collapse of cholera by a member of the Paris Faculty of Medicine. The The patient, who was moribund when the r rxtdy was tried, recovered from the death luma in a few minutes, and, from the moment of the transfusion spontaneously and rapidly Improved. Human blood was employed to the case; but experiments are to be made with the blood of domestic animals, particularly sheep and cattle. An article in the Ugeskrift for Ledger describes Dr. Vilandt's successful use of oil of turpentine in the treatment and prophylaxis of diphtheria and kindred diseases. He states that he has never seen any of these diseases spread from a sick child to other members of the family when this remedy was employed. His method is to pour from twenty to forty drops of a mixture of equal parts of turpentine and carbolic acid into a kettle of water, whieh is kept simmering over a alow tare, so that the air of the sick-room is constantly impregnated with the odor of these two substances. A favorable influence is also exerted by this means upon tbe exudation in diphtheiia, although it is not at all curative of the disease. Lord Brabazon utters a useful note of warning when he points out what has long been patent to many observers, that there is a deterioration in physique of the inhabitants of the more crowded portions of our citiee. Want of food, exercise and fresh a r are the causes ol this decline. He poinn out that in this year's drill competion .f School Board scholars it was clearly noticeable that those children from the poorest an 1 most crowded districts were of shorter stature than the others. As a partial remeO for this lamentable state of things, Lori Brabazon advocates more variety in the system of education, and begs the authorities to remember that the body should be cared for as well as the brain. The Kind of Pit Joseph was Lowered Into. LLewli Olipcant, in Blackwood's Magazine. In the course of my scrambles I have three or four times come upon curious square erections, which I have net observed mentioned in any work upon Palestine. The largest of these was 14 feet high by 12 square, and formed of slabs of stone averaging 6 feet by 2, by 1 in thickness, laid upon each other without cement, but evidently hewn so that the construction should be symmetrical. I thought at first there might be a chamber inside - but on examining one of the smaller ones I found it to be perfectly solid. From the weather-beaten appearance of the stones, they seem to haye been in position from great antiquity; but whether they were alters, or monuments over tombs, or served some more practical purpose, I leave for those skilled in such matters to decide. The huge millstones are numerous, and are to be found, sometimes far removed from any ruin, in the most remote valleys. The lower one usually measures from 8 to 10 feet in diameter, with a raised rim round the circumference, 8 or 10 inches high, ana a square hole in the centre: they are abjut 2 feet 6 inches thick, ut are often hewn out of the living reck, as well as the basin for the reception of oil below them. Then there are rock-cut reservoirs; the largest I have seen was about 100 feet by 45, and 15 in depth; but it was half filled with vegetation, and was originally much deeper. And there are trap-like and deceptive cisterns, the mouths of which are about the size of the coal hole in the pavement of a London street; nut when there is a bush instead of a lid over it a false step may land you in a circular pit perhaps 20 feet deep, of a demijohn shape, and with smooth sides, from which escape would be hopeles. It was into such a pit probably tbat Joseph was let down by his brothers. These cisterns are very numerous at tome cf the ruins, and prove how dependent the population were upon rain water. The incessant talker may be of use ia the world, but there is a strong suspicion abroad that his principal service to mankind is to illrttrate tbe fact that it doesn't require much trains to make a nose in ths world.
