SULPHUR DISCOVERIES. —One of the good ' results growing out of the con-truetion of the Suez Canal, ha? been the di-covery, on the ! ; i-hoivs of the Red Sea, at the entiarice of j the Gclf of Suez of two inexhaustible j deposits ofsntphur. One of these is located in a prrftct'y rainltss desert, on the Afri can coast, and eonists of a hill six hundred f et in height which iscomiosed of sulphur. The sulphur is obtained by blasting, as rocks are blasted in a common quairy. Arab workmen, under French supervision, are employed, and the product is ten tons a Cay, lor the transportation of which to re fining furnaces, a railroad is being construe- ! ted. The Viceroy of Egypt has contracted ! for the entire yield, at eighteen d' liirs per ; ton. The other locality is five hundred j miles distant from Suez. In thi- case the sulphur also appears in the form of rocks. It is much purer, but is underground, and must be obtained by tunnelling. MR. IIUBBARD presented certain statistics of teh-grai h> in his address before the Sen ate Postal Committee net much to the credit i of the monopolists. In twenty-one States i of Europe there ate 594,793 miles of wire, ■ lasting $41.300.'300, in gold. In thin coun try (he Western Union Company have ll>4 - 534 miles of wire costing $4*,000,000 in cur rency. It would appear Irom ihis that gov ernments can construct four miles of wire at the same cost involved in the construction of one mile Ly a corporation. Over the j European lines 29,33,3.000 messages cost 513.5C7.300. Over ihe Western Union lines I 3,400.770 tues-ages cost $5,737,627. THE Dominican Republic has formally ; declared fur aim xatiou to the United States, i The vote, which was officially propo.-ed to I the people by the eoverntuent, has been 1 taken, and as recotded here, shows an owr : whelming majoii'y in the affirmative. The 1 towns of Santiago, La Vega, and Anziia led ! the demand for admi-sion to the Union and nowhere was there any visible opposition. l The I nited States steamer Swa'ttra, Cap taiD Allen, arrived yesterday in time to hear ; the vote declared. The Council of Minis t# rs estimate the public debt at less than 1 $11,500,000. j STEEL RAILS A SUCCESS. —In their report the Massachusetts Ratltoad Cotumi-sioners -ay that ou the 1-t of January, 1370, tbete wtre at lea.-t 100,000 tons of steel rails Lid down on the railroads ol this country, aud : probably 10,000 tons of steel hi aded rail be ' sides.

THE CADETSHIP BUSINESS. —Deweese, of North Carolina, anu Goltaday, ot Kentucky, have both resigned their Seals iu the House to avoid expulsion. Mr. DeWetse is a Re publican and served m the army. Mr. Gul .aday is a Democrat, aud on the 29th ol Jauuary last he made a sptech in lavur of repudiation. The investigation has un. t covered a pierlect nest ol nadirs in uadtt ebi('S, aud two cases appear to be quite pliable. That of Butler, Ot Tennessee, is aoout the hardest jet. He, being ceitatu ul expuisiou, telegraphid tns resignation to Govtruor Sinter, who, beiug a bait way- Democrat, declined to accept it. Auotber haid case is thai of some uunaurod Dcmu erauc member from Onto, who, having sold his cede t#hipi to a Republican, has the who e Democratic delegation iu the lluus dowu on him. It is pruhable that he too will be un able to resign, as the Governor ot Ohio is a Republican. But the hardest phase of the j story is that the vote ol eeusure on poor \\ tiittemore was a unanimous one, aud all ! these self righti our individual, cast th ir censure upon that un onunate sjeculutc. lor the very crime ot which they al o were guilty. CHICAGO, March I—Red1 —Red River advices say that Rich! was unanimously elected I'resident ot the Provisional government af ter the adjournment of the conventiuu whicb trained the bill of rights.

Scattered from among the roaea, Where a budding wealth repose*, Little dimpled lips invite; Springing from the heart's deep treasure, With a never failing measure, Given with a pure delight ROC CI Ml KISSES. Muffled footsteps softly tripping Up behind, and softly slipping Uouud you dear, familiar arms; Though warm hearts may touch unbidden, Where ynu keep your kitties bidden, Shelter them from rude alarms. MOTHER'S KISSES. Little urchins, full of badness. Little faces full of sadness, Claim a mother's tender kiss. Every little childish sorrow Finds a solace none can borrow. In a mother's soft caress. FRTESnSHIP'S KISSES. A kiss is friendship's highest token; A sympathizing language spoken By tender nature for distress, 'Tis friendship's sweetest mute bestowing, 'Tis admirat.on's overflowing That loving lips so fondly press. CCPID'S KISSES. Prompted by some wild emotion Of tbe heart, that bidden ocean, Throbbing in tbe human breast; It may be love's incense burning On the lips, or Fancy's yearning, Like ''a bird without a nest." SILENT KISSES. Some strange, sweet cord of kindred feeling, Some nameless yearning softly stealing, Earth has no dearer tie than this. Heart to heart in sacred meeting. Does heaven afford a purer bliss? PARTING KISSES. Tbe last, and it may be the dearest. Fur hearts ir parting seem the nearest, Closer for the dear "farewell." But oh 1 the !ast that cold lips never Give ani-wering touch, the last forever, Are sadder than the funeral bell. CAPITAL PL sill M EST.

OUT I.N THE KAIN. SPRINKLE! rain! shower! right down on Millie Warner's tasteful little hat and grace ful shoulder, unprotected save by a thin shawl, notwithstanding the beseeching glance of the prettiest pair of hazel eye 'hat ever looked up to a cloud in that way. The inexorable, stony-hearted thing jusi {mured out its deluging treasures without minding them the least bit in the world. Now, Millie wasn't afraid of a shower, unless there was thundering and lightning : but she had quite a regard for her pretty hat. which was not two weeks old, and did hate dreadfully to hare it spoiled. Besides, she knew—vain little girl—that it was ex cedingly becoming. Her glass told her that, aud Squire Johns, tbe great man of t ihe town, bad whispered to her just the I same, looking at her very admiringly all I the while. It was too, too had. And out catue Millie's handkerchief, which she j ihrew over the hat, just about half eoveriug it. She drew it off, the next moment, and 1 laughed. As if such a deluge of hand j kei chief c< ttld do any good, she said to her- : self. "How could she be so silly ?" Millie, n>>t so very wi>e yet, tried next I to run away- from the shower; but, in her I haste ran into several mud puddles, thereby i muddying the pretty little feet in a perfectly i -eientific manner. She walked quite leisurely, after that, *aying, philosophically: "As my hat is spoiled already, there can be no use in hurrying, I am neither sugar nor salt." Nevertheles, when Millie came to a large white farm-bou>e, she very gladly, and rather hastily —for jnst then there was a heavy peal of thunder —opened the gate and went up the flower-bordered path to ■he house, and knocked for admittance. Nobody answered, and as another peal of ihunder was heard, accompanied by a vivid fla-h of lightning, Millie entered without ceremony. She took in at a glance the contents of the first room she came to —a isrge square room, plainly but neatly fur oi-hed —the cane-seated chairs, the pretty chintz-covered lounge, book case filled with books and sheet music; the violin in its case in the corner, the vase of faded flow ers and ornaments OD th mantel. There was no one there, but she heard childish ; voices in the room, and again knocked. A J dark eyed girl of ten or eleven years opened the door. Millie explained why she was there. With the ease and good manners of om much older, the child bade her welcome, placed a chair near the stove and took Mil lie's dripping hat and shawl. "I was just beginning to get dinner. That was the reason I didn't hear yon knock. It will be a long time before the shower is over, aud yon must stay with us to dinner. It will be ready by tbe time Ben comes; out that will not be for about a half or three quarters of an hour. ' "E*, dinttie'll be weddy when Ben turns," lisped and laughed a little girl of three years. The elder child, whose name was Hetty, resumed; "I can't get a very good dinner, I ain't quite old euough, but Ben says I do nicely. He puts it on for me, and I see to it. But he does not allow me to take off kettles, for fear I will burn or scald myself; but 1 think I am large enough to do that, I like to have everything teady for him when be comes in tired and hungry. I cau't make bi-cuit—l wi.-h I could—for Ben likes them ever so much; but Martha who comes in to make bread for us, says she will teach me." "Where is your mother " asked Millie of the little Eva. when Hetty was out of i the room. "We is got no mudder but Ben," the I litt'e one li-ped. When J) w caue back, Mill e said; i "Now 1 ve got nicely warmed, and any dres will dry just as well at work a9 filling Btitl; so I will help you get dinner. If you like I will make some biscuit, and we will have dinner resdy in a very shrol time." Hetty was delighted. Ben would be glad, j Might she look on and learn how? Millie was young, and frank, and gay, i and she and the children soon became very j well acquainted over the bi-cuif She aaid, ! prewntly, trying a potato with a fork : "The potatoes are done. I will pour the vater off so, then put them on again fodry. That will make them mealy. In a few moments we will peel them, and then din ner will be all ready except taking it up." The dinner seemed very meagre to little Hetty as she run over the items in her mind potatoes, pets, pork, biscuit, butter, cu cumbers, milk, water. She had wanted to make tea for her visitor, but she decl ncd decidedly. The poor child said, apologeti cally : W hen father and mother were alive we used to have a good manv things for dinner, sod Martha, our hired girl, used to get then all, but when they died, and Squire Johrs said he bought a mortgage on our farm, arid that we bad got to pay ever) cent the day it was due or lose everything, we aad to do without a good many things, and are very poor now, and Ben is afrsid we can't have enough to pay it. and they all say we may look for no mercy from Squire Johns, for he is a very hard man to the poor, and he has always wanted our farm, because it join* some of his own land where he wants to build. I heard all about it when one of the neighbors was talking with Ben, though he didn't want me to know about it." Millie had listened to this with a curious mixture of feelings, for Squire Johns was declared lover of hers, and though she had not yet accepted, she had been both pleased and flattered with his attention, and had certainly given him encouragement. More over, he was to receive his final answer in three days from that time, and she was no> sure the answer reserved and Lid away for that lime was "no." True, Millie was not io love with him, but the had waited so long in vaio for that ecstatic state of feelini she had heard and read so much about, tba she was quite dccidi-d that she was not ca pable of love, and that to like any- one wa.- as much as she could expect. But she cer tainly liked Squire Johns as well if nor better than any one, and his love mu-t cer rainly be disinterested, for he could not know that . But now Millie stopped. Could he not? Might he not have found out iu some way? II this story were true, would such a man be likely to marry a pooi girl? For Millie Warner was really au heiress in a small way. She was sole inher itor of a fine unencumbered farm from her father, and five thousand dollars io bank stock. But the farm was two hundred miles south of this town, where she w visiting a cousin, and nobody knew of it; and during her visit she had helped hei cou-in in her work as she had always helped j her mother when she was at home —capable. ' industrious little girl that #he was. This story agreed with thing# that she had heard hio'ed at. but only hinted at, and even that the next moment was smoothed over, for Squire Johns was a rich and influ ential man, and people could not afford without some reason, to lose his favor. Shi remembered it all now. Could be in reality be such a scoundrel ? She could judge better about the truth of the story when she had seen Ben. Who was Ben ? Two or three enquiries ban amounted to nothiog. The children spoke just as if everybody must know who Ben wa.*. Was he an uncle, csusin, hired man, or what ? Evidently somebody very old b> the way Hetty spoke of him. Whoever ii wa#, what would he think of her intrusion? But she couldn't help what he thought, i she shrugged her shoulders as she looked 1 out at the still pouring rain. Young Ben Hazwell, out in the field pitched up the last hay on the load, leaned i his pitch-fork against a tree, and took off I his straw hat to cool bis moist forehead Hi# gaze followed the hay cart, went over the broad lands and returned. "The hay has gone in," he said with a long breath of relief. "I could not afford to lose even one load now I don't know that I can do it; but if I can sell part of the land I may. It will lea hard pull though." There was a noise of carriage wheels, and tie looked towards the road. His brown face darkened as he looked. 'T could, perhaps, have got an extension of lime if that vidian had not .jot the mortgage in his hands; and, dastardly ras es!, who makes it his business to rob and defraud the po >r and the fatherless, he may lake this farm; he will if he can; for he has been manaeuvering fur it a long time; but he shall have it with the soundest horsewhipping that ever a man had. Twiee ! thrice the number of strokes of the united years of my tender sisters; and my I arm is strong." And he looked after the j carriage with bis Hands firmly clenched. '"My two years at college did me but little good. If I could have finished, and got a profession, or had a good trade, 1 should not have been so helpless, if the j worst comes to the worst But I won't look on the dark side." The young man followed the cart into the j barn. The storm was at its height when he went toward the house from the hack way. He stopped in surprise, as he saw through the window some one standing at the taole, with arms bare to the elbow, mixing flour. It must be Martha's, neither her's, the slender, graceful figure. As he came near er, he could distinguish the sparkling piqu ant face. She was laughing and talking with Hetty, and evidently giving her the directions for what she was making. Hetty was gazing upon her, eager and much ab sorbed. Little Eva was sitting at the table in her high chair, working at a piece of; dough. "A take for Ben." It was as black as ber soiled little fingers could make it; hut it j did not occur to Eva that that could be any j objection. It was a pretty, plea-ant sight j > in that long desolate borne ; and he stood there, unconscious of the pouring rain, eagerly gazing at this fair young stranger, himself a picture of manly beauty, till the voice of one of the men calliDg to the oxen, awoke hitu from his reverie. By and-by there was a spluttering of water heard in the next room by Hetty. "Ben has come," running hastily forward and opening the door. "Ben has turn 1" echoed the little one, ; clapping her bauds and lisping, as he came in, bright and smilling, what she had in fitoit) for him : '"I is made a take for 00, I i.' He caught her up in bis arms and gave her a kis, while she laughed snd shouted ; but his eyes were seeking the stranger. Hetty said prettily ; My brother Ben." Then to him : '"This lady got caught io the shower, Ben, and is staying until it clear# ur. She has been so kind as to help to get dinner, and has made some splendid bis cuit." They both stood mute a moment, she with surprise at the real Ben, youog hand some, and well bred; he with admiration, and a strange new feeling be could not de fine. He had hardly made her welcome, with a return of his self-posession, when there was a loud rap at the street door. Hetty went to the door, catne back pale, and whispered to Bi-n ; "Squire Johns." Millie drew quickly back from the half closing door. Ben went in to his visitor, closing the door after him, but every word was distinctly heard by Millie, tor Squire Johns did not speak in the low, suave tone -he was accustomed to hear him, but loud and peremptory. "I am io haste, young man ; I just stop ped to say that the time for the payment of the money due me, being day after to-mor row, if it is not ready I shall be obliged im mediately to resort to severe measures. '"lmpossible !" exclaimed the young man in • surprised and excited tone, "you are very much mistaken. It is not due till the 28th, and it is now but the 18th. At thai time, if I sell the piece of land I partly ex pect to do, I hope, with some other money coming in, to be able to pay it." "You are laboring under a singular mis fake young man. Here is the mortgage and you can see for yourself that is the eigh teenth." "loet me see it." The figures danced upon the page. He passed his hands over his eyes and calmed himself with a great effort. He grew ashy pale as he read. "It reads so, certainly, but I ean't under i stand, it." He went to the desk. "Here j is a note my father made of the circuro- ! stances, and it is the 28th, and he was a very sure, methodical man, and would Dot he likely to make a mistake that might In fraught with very important and evil conse quences to him. '"I believe—" a sadden #u#pieion coming into h'.s mind, as he de tected a larking triumph in Squire JohDs' eye, "I believe there's some villiany about 'his matter, and that you are at the bottom of it," he exclaimed eicitedly, fixing his eye firmly upon the lawyer, who changed color in spite of himself. "Be careful what you say, young man, or vuu may get yourself into trouble," he said angrily. "Yes, sir, I believe that you are a base villian! I remember that you are the lawyer who made out the mortgage at the time, and know that you have been aching for years to get hold of this property. If there is jus tice in law you shall be exposed." "In the meantime you had better have the money ready," coolly and insultingly re plied Squire Jobua. That is impossible as you know. You know very well I could not rai.#e so much money in two day#, when you made your diabo'ieal plans." "Then you know the consequence." "And what is to become of my young sis ters?" "I neither know nor care. That is your lookout." The young man strove to repress his pas sion yet. "Squire Johns, by the 28th I can pay ihis debt, I expect." "That will do you no good. It must be rt-ady by the ISrb, or I take possession. I might have shown you mercy but for your iDMnuatrons. Now, none." "That is false! liar ! villian ! and you know it. You never showed mercy in yonr •ife. You have won your ill-gotten wealth hy robbing the widow and the fatherless. If you take this property may it bring you a curse with it, now and evermore ! But while it is in my hands I'll kick you from it, you dastardly scoundrel!" The Squire was a small man as well as a coward, and while he wa# being ignomiDons ly ejected from the hou#e by the angry and excired young man, Hetty was crouched down close to Millie, pale and frightened. Eva was sobbing in her lap, and Millie —it would be difficult to describe her feeling. Ben did not eome Into the room for some time afterward. When he did, he looked haggard and aged, and was passing through hastily, as if to escape notice, when Millie business like and straightforward little giil that she was, began : "Mr. Hazwell. I want to talk to you a few minutes. There would be no use in pretending that I haven't heard what you and Squire Johns have been saying, for 1 beard every word. I think I know of some one who can help you; but first may I ask you a few questions?" Ben, at first, looked displeased and lnugh | ty ; but her kind, straightforward manner j disarmed him. He bowed assent. "What is the amount of this mortgage?" "Two thousand dollars and interest," was the brief reply. "What is the total value of the farm?" j "My father valued it at ten thousand do!-' lar.." "Are there other mortgage*?" "None." "Very well, I am quite positive I know j gome one who can loan you the money. I j am Millie Warner. Call on me to-morrow, at my cousin's, Mrs. Sanford's. Ben's dreams were strangely mixed up that night with mortgages and hazel eyes. The next day was a long time of suspense and anxiety, and early in the evening lound bim at the Sanfords, where he was received by Millie herself. The next mornirrg, accombaoied by a ; neighbor, be called on Squire Johns. "He was at breakfast," the servant said. An angry light shone in Squire Johns' cold, gray eye, when he heard who was his visitor. | "How dare he come hero? I warrant, I though, the chap isn't quite so high and mighty as he was the last lime I saw him. Humble enough this morning. I will ho d ou: hopes of mercy until he grovels and j begs ray pardon—grovels low as be laid me, and then I'll be revenged. To-motrow this ' splendid farm, added to my other property, and the possession of Millie \\ arner s hand and fortune, will make me a rich and happy man. indeed. I will tantalize him to his hear:'* content. ; He went leisurely into the other soam. VOIs. 43: NO 10. "You are early this morning young uian. I conclude you have come to pay the ntoo ey," he said ironeaily. "That's my errand," replied Be# oouiy. Squire Johns started back aghast and thunderstruck. "Do you mean to say you have raised the mrney ?" "1 do, and have brought Mr. Foster to prove that it is all right. There is two thou-and dollar.-. We have each counted it. There is the interest. Now I will take up the mortgage, Squire Johns." Livid, and trembling with passion, Squire Johns was compelled to yield the mortgage, and execute the usual release. "Now, Squire," said Ben, "I have one word to say: Don't you ever dare to set foot on my land again, or I'll kick you off Mind that. Nor never dare to speak to me again. I don't know such rascals as you !'* "I'll have satisfaction of yon!" and the Squire literally foamed with passion. "Hvve it and welcome," replied Ben. cooly, "as long as you haven't got the farm. Come Foster." There was no trace of the violent pas-ion to which the Squire gave free license, when, the next evening, he drove up to Sanford's. fie looked happy and smiling. There was a queer little smile on .Millie Warner's face as she saw him through the closed blind". It was a little ominous that he was com polled to wait in the parlor alone five, ten. fifteen minutes. Still more ominous that -he came in at last, distant and unsmiling. ! Still, he could hardly believe he heard aright when, to his sui', she gave a prompt nncnm promising "DO!" He urged; she was film. He threatened; she flashed out, brave and ' indignant, something of what she knew and felt, and spurned him and his suit with scorn and loathing. "Such a threat to a girl is worthy of vou! of a piece with your conduct to the Haz wells!" she ended. "To the Htzwells! What do you know about them ? Perhaps you are the one who loaned the money to them?" "Yes it was I. I went io there for shel ter from the storm. I heard it all; every word." The Squire muttered curses low and deep, but Millie did not stay to hear them. She only saw him ride away, with that same queer little smile on her face. Squire Johns rode a long distance out of his way, six months after, to avoid a wed ding party just returning from church—Ben Hazwell and Millie, his wife—which be came very near blundering upon. HOW TO BE HANDSOME. Most people like to be handsome. No body denies the great power any person may have who has a good face, and who attracts you by good looks, ev :n before a word has been spoken. And w j set- all sorts of de vices in men and women to improve fheit good looks—paints and washes, and all kinds of cosmetics, including a plentiful anoint ing with dirty hair oil. Now. not every one cin have good feat ures. Tbey arc as God made them ; but almost any one can look well, especially | with good health. It is hard to give rules in a very short space, but io btief these will Jo. Keep clean—wash freely and universal'}- with cold water. AH the skin wants is leave to act freely, and it will take care of itself. Its thousands of air holes must not be pingged up. Eat regularly and simply. The stomach can DO more work all the time, night and i day, than a it must have regular • work and regular rest. Good teeth are a help to good looks. Brash them with a soft btu>h, especially at □ight. Go tc bed with the teeth dean. Of course, to have white teeth, it is needful to let tobacco alone. Any powder or wash for the teeth should be very simple. Acid may whiten the teeth, but they take off the enamel or injure it. Sleep in a cool room, in pure air. Xo one can have a clean skin who breathes bad air. But more than all, in order to look well— wake up the mind and soul. When the mind is awake, the dull, sleepy look passes away from the eyes. I do not khow that the brain expands, but it seems so. Think, read —not trashy novels, but hooks that have something in them. Talk with people who know something; hear lectures and learn by them. This is one of the effects of good preach ing. A man thinks and works, and tells us the result. And if we listen, and hear, and understand, the mind and soul are worked. 11 the spiritual nature is aroused, so much the better. We hare seen a plain face real ly glorified by the love of God and maD which shone through it. Le tus grow hand some. Men say they can't afford books, and sometimes they don't even pay for their newspaper. In that case, it does them little good—they must feel so mean while reading | it. But men can afford what they really choose. If all the money spent in self-in dulgence, in hurtful indulgence, were spent in books, and self-improvement, we could see a change Men would grow handsome, and women, too. The soul would shine out through the eyes. We were not meant to be mere animala. Let us have books, and read them, and sermons, and heed them. — Health Reformer. YOING MEN.— An exchange truly says: • Thousands of young men are to-day drift ing helplessly about on the ocean of life, vainly hoping that ere long some favoral le breeze will spring up and drive their vessels into some safe harbor. \\ here that safe harbor is they have no idea; because they have no defioite ot ject in view. They have never decided upon any course of life, bui permit their actions to be shaped aud mould ed by the circumstances of the hour. Is it any wonder that disasters follow each other in quick succession? More men are ruioed through indecision than from a wrong deci sion. Few men will deliberately lay out and pursue a plan of life that will ultimately work tbeir ruin. Most young men of the present day enter the great battle of life without any well defined system of warfare, and consequently spend their best days in aimless pursuits. Indecision is the banc of our existence. Could we look into the world of spirits we would find but few souls in the j dark regions of woe that had resolved to ! reach thit goal; nearly all who are th.re, and those who are hastening there, ate iu their present condition simply becau-e they never decided whither they would go and tbeir indecision has been their ram.

Here is a par agraph on beitavior in church, which ha" a -ocular application: We may classify the petty incivilities of church life thus: 1. SMELL?. —Violent per: uiiitf, especial ly those containing musk, are disagreeable to uto6t persons, aod to some positively dis tressing. There is no siuelt -o universally pleasing as HO ISOFLL Never scent yoursell • hen going into a crowded assembly. The same is true of the residuary surel! of tobac co which hangs about the garments aod af flicts the breath of those who habitually stuuke. But tobacco aitc >.-t invariably makes men self-indulgent and regardless of others' convenience. More brutal yet are they who go to church reekiog. like a Dutchman's soap, with the smell of onions. There are scores of people who have lost all profit of a Sunday service by the sickening smells which surround then. 2. Sounds.—Whispering in eburcb dur I ing the service is an affront to politeness. Much of the coughing which goes on io church arbes from the poisonous ga.-se? and personal effluvia which exist in unveotiiated churches. But the power of the will over the muscles which do the coughing is very great. A heedless person will cough twice as much as needful, —will ecugb at the worst time possible, will c-iugh plump upon the necks of those before him. instead of embalmiug the sound in his handkerchief as, with a little skill and politeness, be might easily do. We would not forbid men who cannot sing to "make a joyful noise ' —but it should be a soft'y noise. In all cases when it is a man's duty to sleep in church, it is bis duty also to snore with the soft pedal down. 3. SlGHT.— Every one likes to see the minister. It cannot be done through your body. True, you cannot help being before •omebody unless vou are on the back seat. But with a little thought you may very much help tho-e behind you. Any conduct which shall divert the atttntioo of others from the service, such as ostentatious play ing with a watch or opening and shutting it, reading looks or paper?, lookiug about in quisitively, is impolite. Many churches have the Ten Command ments set np upon the wall, in sight of the whole congregation; although not one of the sins reprobated therein is likely to be com mitted in church time. Would it not be well to have another tablet enumerating the sins which men are prone to commit in church time? AN ORIENTAL NIGHT. ft is impossible for those who have never visited the glowing East to form an ade quate idea of the exceeding beauty of an Oriental night. The sky- which bends enamored over clusters of graceful palm trees fringing some slow-moving stream, or groves of dark motionless cypresses rising up like Gothic spires from the midst of white, flat-roofed villages— is of the deepest darkest purple, un.-Uined by the faintest 31m of vapor undiinmed by a single fleecy cloud. Ir is the very image of purity and peace, idealizing the dull earth with iu beauty, elevating sense into the sphere of soul, and suggesting thoughts and yearnings too tender'ani ethereal to be invested with human language. Through its transparent depths the eye wanders dreamily upward until it loses itself on the threshold of other worlds. Over the dark mountain ranges the lonely moon walks in brightness cloth ing the landscape with the pale glories of a mimic day: while the zodiacal light far more distinct and vivid than it is ever seen in thi country, diffuses a miid pyramidal radiance above the horizon, like the al'terg'ow of sunset. Constellations, tremulous with ex cess of brightness, sparkle in the heavens, associated with classical myths and legends which are a mental inheritance to every educated man from his earliest years. There the ship Argo sails over the trackless upper ocean in search of the golden fleece of Colchis; there Perseus, returning from the conquest of the Gorgons, holds in his hand the terrible head of Medusa; there the virgin Andromeda, chained naked to the r< ck, awaits in agony the approach of the devouring moo-ter; there the luxuriant yellow hair of Berenice hangs suspended as a votive offering to Venus; while the dim, misty track formed by the milk that drop ped from Juno's breast, and which as it fell upon the earth, changed the lilies from pur pie to a snowy whiteness, extends across the heavens, like the ghost of a rainbow. Con spicuous atnnng them all far up toward the zenith, old Orion, with his blazing belt, meets the admiring eye, suggestive of gentle memories and kind thoughts of home; while immediately beyond it is seen the familiar cluster ot the Pleiades, or Seven Stars, glit tering and quivering with radiance in the amethystine eiher, like a breastplate of jewe's—the UrilO and Thutarnim of the Eternal.— Hugh Marmillan.' s Bible Teach ing in Nature. HOPE —Hope is the sweetest friend thit ever kept distressed friends company; it beguiles the tediousness of the way, ar.d the miseries of our pilgrimage. It tell* the sou! sweet stories of the succeeding joys; what comfort there is in heaven; what peace what joy what triumph, what mar riage song* and ba'lelujahs there are in that country, whither she is traveling, that she goes merrily away with her present burden. YAI.CAB' K PRESENTS. —Some one speak ing of presents, says; " The best thing to give your enemy is forgiveness; to your opponent, tolerance; to a friend, yonr heart; to yonr children a good excropie; to your father, deference: to your mother, love; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity; to God, obedience. Truth scorns all kind of equivocation. Never sport with pain or poverty. Cleanliness is the elegance of the poor. Experience is the mother of science. He who opposes honesty never had any. A knave discovered is the greatest fooL A man had better be poisoned in his blood • than in his principals. The faculty of genius is the powtr of ! lighting iu own fire.
