Tlie best paste for scrap-books ia made of (lour. Apply it with a soft brash to the buck of the paper to be pasted in nnd pat down the scrap with a soft cloth. Both sides of the leaf may be scrapped, and many successive pages tilled nt once, but care should be taken to remove all paste from ench pngc when it is completed, and tin book should be left wide open to dry. A well-filled scrap-book is a very pleasant com panion of a rainy day, especially if taste, and discretion have been c.terciied iu its arrangement. Stories should be in a part of the book by themselves; the same may be said of poetry, and of wit. If all the news papers usually torn and burned for kindling were carefully scissored there might be in every family a bonk of wit and wisdom, of information, and entertainment second to none in the family library, always excepting the llible. It is well to accumulate quite it store of scraps before beginning the book- anil employ some rainy day of leisure in ( arranging them properly and fastening them in place. Picture-books for children, far superior, in point of variety and interest, to any in the shops, may be made by saving up picture and pasting them into some volume not of intrinsic, merit an old census book witli good binding answers the purpose. At intervals through tho book a half dozen leaves should be cut oil' smoothly, leaving n half inch margin, to make room for the scmppings and keep the book in good order. Auibitii'ii. A love for activity, a desire to excel and to gain a position in tlie world are com mendable. They who bless the race, elevate, man, inspire him with true courage, soften the indurations of our being, increase men tal and moral power, are the true heroes and heroines. They arc the benefactora of the world who leave it better for having lived in it. Ilut he who encourages cruelty and de lights in blood, cither on the field of battle or in the retired wayside is the knave and tine ruffian. He who kills, is prompted by a love of glory (?), is not le.su a murderer than he who steals stealthy on his victim to gratify an uncontrollable hate, while the enormity of the crime must bo graduated by the number of lives sacrificed in tho injury sustained. Ho who robs a nation of its wealth destroys its material growth, abridges its peace, happiness, in prosperity, it mind, muscle and mortals by war is not less a robber than he who takes the private purse and then kills. The more guilty one is he whose depredations are on the most extensive scale. Music, gay timclry and dazzling accoutre ments can never change the real nature of Clinic, To murder is to maliciously take life. The more lives taken, the greater the turpitude, the deeper tho criminality. To rob is to take wealth, material, mental or moral, ruthlessly, while the more extensive the scale the more robbery is committed. Tlio WoiiJ Without Sunday. Think how the abstraction of Sunday would enslave the working classes, with which we are identified, Think of labor thus going on in ono monotonous and etern al rack, fingers forever straining, tho brow forever drooping, the loins forover aching, and tho weary brain forever bcheming, Think of tlio beauty it would efl'ace, the merry heartedncss it would extinguish, the giant fctrciigth it would tame, tho resources of naturo it would crush, tlio sickness it would bring, of tho project it would wreck, the groans it would extort, the lives it would immolate, nnd tho cheerless grave it would prematurely dig. See them toiling and Iret ting, and grinding aud hewing, and weaving and spinning, sowing and gathering, mow ing and reaping, raising aud building, dig ging aud planting, nnd striving aud strug gling in tho garden aud iu the field, in tho granary and in tho barn, lu tho factory and iu tho mill, in tho warehouse nnd in the shop, in tho mountain and iu tho ditch, on thu roadside and in tho country, out at sea and on tho nhore, in the day of brightness and of gloom.

A Chicago man has been eniovlmr tho cx cltemcnt of Hon hunting in Algeria, nnd Bends to tho 7ribune of Hint city nn account ot nn nilvcnttircs. Tho following passage, occurs In tho narrntlvo : About thrco miles from tho cntranco of tho gorge iu a deep ra vine running oil' to ono sidois what is known ns Monkey Vnlley, whero thcro are a lot of wild monkeys. Ity payingacoupleof francs to nn old Arab, whom wo found In n hut closo by, wo wero led off this ravine for about a quarter of n mile, and, after hunting around for a few minutes came upon n wholo colony of our cousins. There were probably it hun dred altogether, eomo hanging from tho trees or perched upon them, in nil shapes, and a few scampering about on tho ground nmong tho undergrowth nnd nil jabbering rapidly and vehemently. They wero not altogether wild, and, after a few minutes, some of them even ventured toward us. Others soon fol lowed, nnd in a quarter of an hour they were nil within 00 yards of us, and a few even ventured on tho trees above our heads. In a rash moment I tried to enslave a small one which I caught under some bushes. l!ut the moment 1 caught it I thought lledlam was broken loose, they all seemed to object three or four big malcsespccially. I paid no attention to their remonstrances, and turned to go away with my little prisoner, when suddenly a great old granny fell on my head and shoulders, from somewhere up in the clouds. So I uaid I thought so, too, nnd laid the little monkey down nnd quietly took a walk. When I reaehed the hut I needed a surgeon nnd a tailor moro than usual. I do not remember whether I was very much scar ed or not, but I do know that I thought af terwards, when calmly meditating about the future, that If lions wero much larger and more savage than that old monkey, I did not believe I wanted to bco any of them. About three hours later.thosamc party that started .after tho lions before now struck the trail again. It was not difficult to follow, for there was now and.then, blood upon It. It led us up and nround the side of n hill, until we came to the tablo land between that and another hill. We went down this for an hour or more, when, tho leader, who was a hundred yards or moro in advance motioned us to stop. Ho rode back to us, spoke somo thing Arabic to those iu advance of us, when he left his horse and went on foot. We all then dismounted, left the horses in charge of three of the men, and followed at some distance in tho rear of the leader in perfect silence. In a few minutes wo began to hear a noise, which at oncegavo us to un derstand we nro near the object of our search. It was a deep, rumbling growl. We now took our way more cautiously than before, until wo came to a place where thcro was an abrupt descent for about fifty feet. Here tho trail struck oil' to the right and de scended. In looking down into the narrow valley below us we saw to the right a thick et of dense undergrowth. It was from thence tho noise proceeded. The brush was so thick that, notwithstanding the elevation and our downward view, we could see noth ing. The spot where we halted was covered with fair sized trees, mostly white oaks. We immediately placed ourselves at the brink, side by tddo, with our guns ready. Thus far we had made no noise, hut one of the Arabs in getting into his position, had slipped und let his gun fall among some rocks. Immedi ately there was a loud growl, and the male lion leaped at one bound into the open space at the foot of the declivity. I shall never forgcj the feelings of that momcut. The magnificent beast sitooil there for n sec ond, the very jiersonification of power and rage his man, .stood out like bristles, his eyes seemed tn flash fire, his mouth, widely distended, emitted a roar which caused tho v ery rock under tn to vibrate. It was but a second, although it seemed an age. Nine guns were Hashed boie Mm, but their lead en hail seemed only to add fuel to his rage, and not to weaken him. We were too high for Wm to reaclt us. In his rage he tore tlie eartli before him with his paws, and roared until my nerves seemed charged with a pow erful current of electricity, and I could but with difficulty reload my gun. Ilut sudenly ho darted away tei tlie right. Then the lead er cried out 1'or iu to climb the trees, and ev erybody rnu for 1 treo and commenced to climb. In my nervousness I found I had left my gun. I ran hick to get it, and just an I had reached the tree, and commenced to climb, the lion bounded up tho hill nt the side. He paused for a moment, I was unable to climb. I dropped my gun on the ground and then dropped myself. I caught his eye. Somebody sayrf if you look a liou boldly in the eye he won't harm you. Ay n last re Kort, I tried it on this one ; but it must have been :i ilill'erent kind of a lion, or else my ef fort was a very weak one. I saw that ho had made up his iniinl to eat me, and my look did not seem to make any appreciable change iu his line of conduct, so 1 just set my hair 011 end, whitened up my face, and started down the other side of tho hill on a little sweepstake of my own. Ilut it was unnecessary, fur at that moment the men on tlio trees opened on the lion, and one ball went through his heart, and ho fell from mid air with a gigantic bound but half comple ted. The men jumped down aud rushed to wards him, but they stopped very suddenly, for the old king of beasts, royal in death as in life, by 11 terrible effort Bprang upon his haunches to leap again at his destroyers, when deatli seized him and ho fell short of his mark. Our rejoicings were cnt short by somebody raising tho question of tho whereabouts of the lioness. Two of tho Arabs started down the thicket. A moment later wo heard a couple of shots aud a shout of triumph. Wo nil immediately went down aud found tlio lioness quito dead, aud almost cold I Tho Arabs claimed to havo killed her; but I knew and so did they, that it was false. Two men were left in charge of tho bodies nnd tho remainder returned to camp. In tho general rejoicings that night, after the Hons had been brought iu, though often invited, Antoin nnd I took no part, liut in the morning, after making somo presents to tho Sheik, who wa3 now recovered, and taking our leave, wo mounted our camels and ro turned to Ain Oussera caravansary. am. i.itit. i.et no mistakes nor wrong impressions, of whloh every man in his studies aud clsewhero falls Into many, discourage you.

THE C01-UM11IAN. VOL. IX, NO. 10 COLUMUIA DKMOCUAT, VOL. XI, NO. 4 Kelf-Arqanliitaute. Probably every ono has a eacred belief that, however much ho may misunderstand his neighbor, ho has at least n fair knowl edge nnd appreciation of his own character. Ho may mistako tho motives of others and misinterpret their actions (their heart-secrets being hidden from his); but how can his judgment err concerning ono whoso every emotion, thought, impulse ne motive lies open to his inspection, ns do his own 1 Yet there is hardly anything In which thcro Is greater liability to error than in this vry matter of nclf-acqualntancc. While, on the ono hand, there seem to bo the best oppor tunities for a correct estimate, oil the other, thcro nro special hindrances which pretvat It j while, nt the first glance, nil the govern ing principles of our own characters seem spread before us in the clearest light of day, a closer view reveals an interesting mist that greatly obscures tho reality, or presents it in colors far different from its own. It will readily be seen that this mist which hides us from our own inspection is self-partiality. It may safely bo asserted that we never reason nnd judge in exaetly the samo manner upon mntters in which wo are tho chief actors as we do in other cases. There is nn absence of that distrust and suspicion as to oijr own conduct, which is so manifest when wo analyze that of another; n disposi tion to take for granted that our motives nnd intentions nro about right, which we rarely exhibit concerning those of our neighbors. Self-interest and sclf-lovo often blind us in regard to our own characters, or rather, by keeping our mental vision Used steadily on one point, they prevent us from seeing any other. Thus wo frequently defend in our own conduct tho very same things which we censure soverely in another's, and this not from any wanton injustice, but because thts veil of self-partiality hides from us in the one caso what is obvious enough in tho other when the veil is removed. Much ot tho unreasonable behaviour of men und women towards each .other, nnd many of their disputes and quarrels, result from thisj very disposition to palliate their own errors aud faults nnd exaggerate their , own virtues. Nothing more surely paves the way to injustice and oppression of all kinds, or more effectually crushes the nat ural impulses of compassion nnd sympathy. Social intercourse can rarely be reduced to fixed rules it must depend for its well-being upon mutual good-will and forbearance. Yet in its every detail there is n right to be carried out and n wrong to bo avoided. Jus tice, compassion, liberality, truth, friendli ness are one side: coldness, nrrogance. self ishness aud oppression on the other. Yet their limits cannot bo defined by statutes, each one must settle them for himself, nnd witli this latitude comet tho danger of self deception. In reviewing our own relations with another, how many excuses we frame for seeming neglect of duty how artfully we place and replace the circumstances so as to persuade ourselves that wo were not in fault, and how well satisfied we nre when such efforts nre crowned with self-compla-ccncyl Yet, after all, there is usually left behind a lurking suspicion that nil is not right, and a desiro to hurry over and cast into oblivion much that would otherwiso cause uneasy pricks of conscience. Just ns a man who, by extravagance or neglect is rapidly running through his means, shrinks from a thorough examination of his affairs, fearing to face the ruin which it might re veal, and pleads ignoranco of his real con dition to extenuate his continued prodigality; so, many persons on surveying thoir own conduct, even with all theexcuses and palli atives that self-love can suggest, find so much to create dissatisfaction that they hastily turn from tho record and cease the search, lest on looking deeper they should fatally wound their self-esteem. Never was there a more pernicious mistake. Instead of gaining any real satisfaction by thus closing their eyes to facts, they really heap up cause for future remorse and unhappi ness. There is no solid, sincere self-enjoyment that dofci not havo its basis in a truth ful acquaintance with self in all its phases, Tho cowardico that shrinks from this knowl edge will ever be n prey to suspicion and fear, but tho straiirht-tonvard nnd fearless search into the remote corners of the heart, whero lurk becret motives, hidden thoughts, and unexpressed emotions, though painful at the time, will fully repay any sacrifice or diligence by putting us upon thoroughly frauk, cordial and tsiucero terms with our selves. There is a certain fcelf-dcprcciation which is by no means desirable. It deals largely iu wholesale, depressing und unfair self-con demnation, and is as far removed from that candid nnd thorough self-acquaintance which we urge as any vanltv or self-applause can bo. Such ideas are, however, more com monly uttered than felt. There is a "pride that apes humility," which is, of all things, most despicable. True self-knowledge, while it will reveal much for which we must blush, will never destroy self-respect, hut rather establish it, by placing it on a firmer, becauso a truer basis. It will lead us not to parade our faults, but to correct them ; not to underrate our virtues, but to enhance them. True modesty and 6elf-respect ever go hand iu hand, and nothing so greatly serves to establish their united sway us tho most thorough nnd fearless sclf-acqualutauce, I'trifo, LeJyer. Helping Others.

Who, or what, has raised science to its present commanding position ? What influence is it that has trained tho in vestigator, educated the people, and mado it possible for tho scientific man to exist, and tho people to comprehend hitn ? Who built Harvard College 1 What motives form the very foundation stones of Ynlo?

There is hardly one who did not havo Its birth in, nnd has not hadits growth from Christianity. Tho founders of nil theso institutions, more par tteiilnrlvi those of crentest influence and largest facilities, wero Christian men, wh worked simply in the interest of their Mas ter. The snccial scientific schools that hnve been grafted upon theso institutions are children of the same parents, reared and en dowed for the samo work. Christianity is the undoubted and Indisputable mother of tho scientific culture of the country. But fnr her. our collcees would never havo been built our common schotils would never have been instituted. Wherever a free Christianity has gone, it has carried with It education and culture.
