Scrap-Uookfi.
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. What a plcturo this world
would present if wo had no Sabbath.
"It is very curioiu," said an old gentle

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

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,

In the current discussions of I lip rcUtloii
of Chrintianlty to science, thcro Is ono fact
that seems to have dropped out of notlco;
yet It is full of meaning, and deserves, for
Christianity's sake, to be raised nnd kept
beforo the public. 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? To whom
tn what, nro tho rrreat institutions of
learning, scattered nil over this country, In
debted for their existence ? 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.
Tho nnblic. or n considerable portion of
it. seems to Jorrret this, or has come to re
gard Christianity as opposed to s-clenco In its
nature nnd aims. It is almost regarded, by
many mind", as the friend ol darKnoss, as
the opponent of free inquiry and the cnla
vemf thotiffht. Tho very men who have
been reared by her in some instances turn
ngainst her, disowning their mother nnd tie-
nviiiL' the sources of their attainments, and
n
to-day sho has herself almost forgotten that
it is her hand that has reated all the lempiej

of the nation, ami, with wide sacrifice of
treasure, reared tlio very men who are now

Homo" Courtesies.
A writer in Harper's llaxar makes some
excellent remarks concerning courtesies at
home. Please liste, good peoplo of tho
home circle:
"The placing of the arm chair iu 11 warm
place for mamuin, running for a foot stool
for nunty, hunting up papa's spectacles,
and score of little loving deeds, 8how un
suppressed and loving hearts. BuJ. if mam
ma never returns n smiling 'Thank you
dear,' if papa's 'Just what I was wanting
Susie,' docs not indicate that the little atten
tion is appreciated, the children soon drop
the hubit. Little people are imitative crea
tures, aud quickly catch the spirit surround
ing them. So, if when the mother's spoal
of cotton rolls from herlap, the father stoops
to pick it up, bright eyes will see the act,
and quick minds make a note of it. By ex
ample, a thousand times more quickly than
by precept, children can bo taught to speak
kindly to each other, to acknowledge favors,
to be gentle nnd unselfish and considerate of
tho comfort of tlie family. The hoys, with
inward pride of their father's courteous de
meanor, will bo chivalrous nnd helpful to
their young sisters ; the girls imitating their
mother, will be gentle and patient, even
when big brothers are noisy and heedless.
In tho home where true courtesy prevails,
it seems to meet you on tlio very threshold.
You feel the kindly welcome on entering.
No rude eyes scan your dress. No angry
