KKOW THYSELF.
Tlio workings of tltc human lniinl have,
from the earliest ages, been nno of tlio deep
est mysteries of creation. No man can tell,
for an instant, the thought of another man's
ml tut. The learned of all ages have mado
the mental potters a subject of profound
study and research, yet aro baflled at every
turn by some nctv revelation of the workings
of human intellect and the eccentricities of
human talent
The most reliable and accurate conclu
sion to be reached, regarding mental power,
is a rigid nnd fronuent self-examination,
weighing our motives lor action,our powers
ol mental endurance, our control over con-
conscience, and our capacity to choose, good
and resist evil.
It has been well said that "Tho proper
study of mankind is man ;" and in no way
can we si justly judge, of other men, m in
studying well our own hearts and mindi.
Power may be obtained by a knowledge
of tlio human mind, not to be obtained by
any study of written language.
To bring. sorrow homo to our own hearts
is to realize its effects upon others. We
cannot sympathize with, or comfort those
who are in distress, unless we conceive our
selves io bo in the position of the siill'erer.
Wo may obtain pott er to impart cheerful
ness by understanding tltc workings of the
human minil.
Great and good men of all itgcs have giv
en much tiiiio to self-examination, and we
havo Divine authority for such habits. The
Psalmist says: "I will commune with my
own heart.''
A habit of rigid self-examination, made
conscientiously and prayerfully, must tend
to elevate tho heart and mind. The com
parison of our own lives with thosoof good,
virtuous men, awakens within us tlio desire
to emulate their virtues.
The habit of truly, unflinchingly examin
ing tiie heart is not easily acquired. It is
not easy to tako the outward act that the
world applauds, into the secret chamber of
our own hearts, and lay bare the selfish or
worldly motives that prompt it.
It is not easy to tear the mantle from the
life of outward morality, and probe the hid
den sin that tho world suspects not.
He who finds delightiu true sell-examination,
who courts tho voice of conscience,
who brings to bear upon every action of his
life the hours of solemn prayerful thought
preceding it, is a good man. Ho may err in
judgment; ho may mako gravo errors in
worldly wisdom; he may never attain great
honor or great potter; lie may dio pour, ob
bctiro and unknown; but when he comes bo
fore the Great Tribunal that awaits tu all,
tvhfio motive, not action, is judged, hu will
meet his reward.
It would bo well for tho young if they
could ucijuire n constant habit of self-exam i
nation, if they gave ono hour every morning
totho tank before filtering upon the daily
duties of life, or spent one hour at night
in letictving tho events of tho dav, and rig
idly scanning the motive of every action,
kneeling, at tlio close of such scruti
ny, to ask pardon for what is wrong, help
and support in what is light, and tho hu
mility of a Chistian to continue in tho self-
appointed task. No ono can aid in tliu duty,
no parent or guardian can enforce it. To no
second hand may a man enmo in the revela
tions of his own heart, his powers of self
examination. J. C Y.
Rising in Lifd. Thoso persom who
havo attained to eminence in nnv vocation of
life liavo followed ono uniform course that

tiie hand or head, so long as over-exertion
of either is avoided. It should bo tliu aim
of every one to be constantly employed. If
all men and women were kept at some useful
employment there would bo less troublo and
wickedness in tlio world ; and if so-called
"reformers" would spend their time lu ellbrts
to mako peoplo more industrious, they would
have less leisure to conceive mid agitate
tlioso vexatious micstions and impracticable
theories which are constantly causing troublo

tho li ti man race.

DF.AIOX OSGOOD'S HEM.
11Y MAllY II, COLDY.
Tho nctv minister was spending the after
noon at Deacon Osgood s. Ho came to Lyn
ton, n small town in Pennsylvania, In Feb
ruary, nnd now it was June, and this was
tho first afternoon ho had spent with tho
Deacon and his family.
Delia Osgood looked very pretty In a tlrab
mohair with a tiny bouquet of violets nt her
throat, and Mrs Osgood looked very nfotli
crly and pleasant in her black nlpacca and
rulllcd white apron, nnd Johnnie Osgood
(ago five) tried to look a a deacon's son
should, and the minister ought to have pass
ed a very pleasant afternoon there, but ho
did not.
The first Sunday lio preached in Lyiiton,
and every Sunday Hince, ho had seen some
one in the Deacon's petv whom ho did not
seo In the Deacon's parlor. Sho was a young
woman with sad eyes and a faco whereon he
had never seen a smile. Ho had tried nil
tho afternoon to find out who sho was, with
out seeming curious, (ho was young and un
married, you know) nnd had (ailed. This
was why lio had not enjoyed his visit a well
as he ought to have done.
At five o'clock Mrs. Oigood left the room,
and soon after called Delia out to help her
get tea, and tho minister was alone with
Johnnie.
"So you nre Johnnie Osgood, uro you?"
said tho minister to him, "Won't yon iximo
here and ce mo?"
"I can seo you from httf," nsnercd
Johnnie.
"I hope you nre a good littles boy ?" said
tlio minister smiling. "You ought to be,
for you have a uood father and mother.
Don't you think so?'1
'Oh, I don't know. I want to run nway,
but they won't let inc. My pap talks as if
lio never was a little boy. What do you
think? This alternoon 'fore you come, ho
told me if I said 'bullv' while you was hero
he'd Hog me. Was vou ever a little boy ?''
''Oh, yes," answered the minister.
"Ain't my sister Delia pretty though?"
was his next question.
"Very," said tho minister.
"r.ut she's tiie dumbest thing ! The other
night I wanted her to Vlo my sums in divi
sion for me, and she couldn't do one of 'em,
do you b'llpvp. I made Melissa do 'cm.''
"Whois Mclis,v''
"Why, she's our help. You've teen her.
She sits in our seat in church, next to pap.
There's the boll, I'm iroini' to get'." nnd
Johnnie di'uppcarod through the open door,
and win not seen again until after tlio bless
ing was asked at the well-filled table.
After tea the Deacon turned to the minis
ter and said :
"Mr Ridgely, it is our custom to havo
family worship immediately after tea. I
shall be glad to have you conduct it to
night."
The minister assented, and the Deacon
raised his voice and called :
"Melissa !"
Just then Johnnie was seen going slyly to
tho window.
"Johnnie I" said his mother, reprovingly.
"John," said his father, sternly, "where
:ire you going sir?"
"I'm a going to get," answered Johnnie,
as ho slid quickly out of the window, and
rolled over on the fresh, green grass, Then
Melissa entered, and tho Deacon introduced
her to tlio minister.
".Mr. Ridgily," he said, "this is our
diem ! this is Miss Melissa Perry, Meli-sa,
this is Mr. Ridgelv."
The minister held tho little hard brown
hand in his a moment and looked ut tlio
sweet, pale face, meek, like the master's,
and as clearly palo ns a white morning
glory, and into the sad blue eyes. Then he
motioned her to a chair next to him, nml
opened the Iiible. He read a few verses of
one of the "sweet old chapters," and then
they sang a hymn. Melissa did uot Hing.
She sat very still and listened, but she heard
only two lines;
"Breathe, oh, broatbo thy living spirit
Into firry troublrd breast."
Then the minister prayed, aod when they
rose from their knees, tho room rrns dusky
with shadoirs, but he r?as certain that there
were tears ou Melissa's cheeks, and some
how his heart ached for her.
"Surely they treat her kindly?" he
thought as they went from tho dining-mum
to tho parlor; "they are a christian family."
He was puzzled, and when a fetv moments
later he heard the rattling of china and
glass in the mxt room, ho involuntarily
glanced at Delia's hands; they were too
white, too soft, to be pretty, ho thought,
M.'lisvi cleared thu table in the dark and
wept quielly all the while. Poor child ! she
was so dis.ipp tinted, hho had been in u
little tremor ot happiness all the morning,
fur she thought Mrs. Ogood would certainly
invito her into the pailorn few moments to
get acquainted with tlio minister, mid alter
dinner she went to her room and put on a
delicate lilac muslin dress, with a tiny laco
frill, in tho neck and sleeves ; but at three
o'clock Mrs. Osgood came into tho kitchen
and told her to go and put on a dark calico,
for she must mix biscuits for supper, and she
would spoil tho muslin. Of course there
was no parlor for her after that, and she was
rather surprised when they called her in to
prayers.
While she was washing the dishes John
nie came stealing into tho kitchen on tip
toe. "Are they through praving, Melissa?
What you crying 'bout? Did you break a
dish?"
"No, Johnnie," she answered.
"Did you burn your finger, then?" ho
asked anxiously, with his fat little face up
turned to hers. "If yon did I'll wash the
dishes, every one of 'em and you can wipe-
'em, Melissa "
She declined Ids oiferof help, but ho staid
with her until tltc minister went away and
by steady coaxing found out tho reason why
sho wept,
Mr. Ridgely walked slowly homo from the
Deacon s. Ho boarded with an aged widow,
and ho knew by Iho dim light burning in
tlio parlor when he reached there, that sho
had retired He was too restless to study or
to sleep, so ho walked up and down tho liltlo
garden in tho starlight, willi his hands clasp
cd behind him in the stylo peculiar to minis
tors in thought. 1 hero were n great many
roses blooming in tho widow's garden. Tho
soft night air was laden witli their perfume,
and they made him think of Melissa. Of
couro thero was no resemblance between
tho (lowers and Deacon Osgood's "help," for
sho was white and drooping like a ally, and
they were lu full, riclt bloom; but she was
jmre liko thew, iul ktvwrt, like thou breath,
and they made him think of her. With tho
thought of her came a memory of what his
old aunt said to him the night before ho
enmo to i.ynton.
"Jtidson," sho said in her broad lvnglish,
"you'ro going ntvny with tho grace of God
in your heart; you've got the old Ridgely
muscle, and tho marrow of the spirit is in
your bones, and your feet nro well shod, but
you lack ono thing, you need a helpmate.
Aye, my boy, you'ro not complete. You'll
find it out somo day, and when you do, fol
low tho leadings of your heart. You've got
an honest Ridgely heart, my boy, and it'll
not load you iiiiiIsj,"
Why did tho roses mako him think of
Melissa? Why did the thought of her bring
his aunt's words to his mind ? Ho certainly
could not havo loved when hi had only
spoken to her once, did you say? No, I
suppose not. I bclicvo it isn't called lovo in
the beginning.
Johnnie and the minister became very in
timate after that night. Johnnie liked him
becauso ho had once been n littlo boy, and
he often went to tho widow's to visit him.
He told him about Melissa's crying tlio
night he was at their house to tea, and he
also told him that she had a lot of books in
her bedroom that used to belong to her
father ho guessed there was as many ns five
hundred altogether.
One day tho minister plucked two or three
posies, n roso nnd a fetv geranium leaves
from tho widow's Hour bod, and scut tho woo
bouquet to Melissa by Johnnie. Johnnie
told him the next day that she kissed it
after sho thought ho was out of tlio room,
but ho peeped through n crack in tho door,
and saw her do it. He went to tlio Deacon's
often after that but ho never could 45c t a
chance to talk to her alone.
One night, when nono of the family was
to prayer meeting but hei and the Deacon,
he undertook to go home with hcrnlone, but
before they had gone two squares tho Dea
con came pulling up to them, and talked
"new pulpit" until they reached the gate.
Hy the last of September tho minister,
like everything else, had ceased to bo new.
Martha .liunson hud tried to get him, but
failed; Tannic Gati-s hnd tried and failed,
and ho was looked upon as belonging to the
"church."
Rut lie was not the church's. He was not
his own. Next to tho Master ho loved and
served, he belonged to Melissa Perry. Rut
he did not know it then.
One bright October day tho knowledge
came to him with its burden of sweet hopes
and trembling fears Would Meiissa take
what belongs to her, ho wondered. How
could he ever find out? Tlio Lord through
the mouth of Johnnio 0good told him
how.
One morning he went to tho widow's and
stayed with the minister until tho clock
struck twelve when he caught up his hat
and started for homo.
"Stay and eat dinner witli me, Johnnie,"
said the minister.
"I can't," said Johnnie; "I havo to get,
I have to wipe tho dinner dishes for Mel is
sa, she's goin to tho bitttcr-woirian's tills af
ternoon. Why don't you go and seo her?"
"I will," said the minister.
Johnnio meant tho butter-woman, but tho
minister meant Melissa.
Ho went to the butter-woman's (she was a
member of his church), and hnd been thero
an hour when Melissa came. Showoroadaik
calico dress and carried u bright tin pail on
her arm. On her way out to tho house (it
was nioro than a mile from the town), she
saw a little bunch ot scarlet berries 1 vine
in tho road There was no bush near them ;
they were alone in their warm,briglit beauty,
and she picked them up and fastened them
in her dress at tho neck, wondering where
they camo from just as tho minister often
wondered where she camo from. Tho min
ister saw the berries, and he forgot whcthei
her dress was a calico onu or not. '
After she purchased the butter she took
the tin pail on her arm again nnd went out
at the kitcheu door. The minister saw her
go and he went out at the front door and
soon overtook her and insisted on carrying
her pail. They talked 111 a general way un
til they reached a bit of woods through
which they had to go, and then he persuaded
her to sit down by him on nn old log and
rest. Something perhaps it was the bright
day or tho independent autumn nir mado
her forget that she was Deacon Osgood's
"help" and she talked unrestrainedly and
with an intelligence that surprised him. At
ast with delicate tact, ho led her to talk
about herself, and she tuld how her parents
wei'o both buried in one day leaving her
penniless arid friendless, and, how slit had I
been bound to Deacon Osgood until sho was
eighteen years old.
"They are kind to you nre they uot?" h.
asked.
"Yes, they nro kind, but " and she
stopped abruptly.
"Rut what? Tell mo all about it," he
said encouragingly.
"They do not care for me," sho answered
with great tears iiuher iolct eyes "Thoy
do not lovo mo and nothing can live with
out caro and love," she added.
Tho minister's heart was swelling tinJ.'r
his co.it but ho kept very calm,
"How old are you?" ho asked quietly,
'I am nineteen,"
"Why not leave them? You are not
obliged to btay."
"I have 110 home, no place to go to," bho
answered badly.
"Come to me," said the minister.
She looked at him tvonderiugly a moment,
then shu understood nml weut to him.
When sliu lifted her head from its neet in
his gray cost her cyestvero glowing, und tho
sweet, palo face was beautified, transfigured.
Whero did you get that bunch of berries?"
ho asked, touching it caressingly, as a littlo
gleam of sunlight looked thiough an open
ing in tho trees and feasted a moment ou Its
warmth and brightness.
"I found it lying in the road and I took it
up as you have taken iw.," sho answered
softly.
The bright tints were, gathering in the.
west and wnrucd her that supper time was
approaching, nnd the minister took the
pall of butter from its reeling place nt the
end of tho log, and they were soon at the
Deacon's gate. Tho Deacon was In tho barn
yard feeding tho fowls and tho minister went
out there. Melua went to tho kitchen,
Johnnie tat ou tho Modi with a piece, of up
pie pio in hU hand, tuul sliu bent down nnd
softly kisscil his bioun cheeks.
"Have you been 11 courjlu' Melissa?" ho
asked, looking ut her wunderlnijlv, "I Iset
you have, Vaua jour eyes look Just liko
Delia s when lorn Higg s comes to beo her."
Meiusa Lnijhvi uu4 went iutlui house.
"How nro you, Mr. Ridgely," slid the
Deacon as tho minister entered the barn
yard. It lias been a fine day, sir, n very
lino day. How is the new pulpit getting
on ?'
"I havo not been In tho church to-day,"
answered tho minister nlmoit Impatiently.
" I camo to nsk you Deacon that Is to
speak witli you about Miss Perry."
"About Melissa," asked tho Deacon with
surprise.
"About Melisa," iinswercd tho minister.
".Mr. Ridgely," said the Deacon with a
lengthening face," "I have tried to do my
duly by that girl. 1 pray for her morning
m 1 night at family worship, and I have sev
eral times prayed with tier nlono for more
than three quarters of nn hour nt 11 time, f
never let a Sunday pass without speaking to
her about tho concerns of her soul and yet
sue remain iinlillercut. she Is growing
hardened nnd lately I havo noticed"
"oti havo noticed nothing of tho kind,"
interrupted the minister. Then ho said ab
