" " Please to torn out that dog)— And auto • joj-fUt nobw.'" The dog was turned ont, und the choir did their bet to make a Jeyful noise, but we boys were upset for the day, delivered over to the temptations of Satan, and plunged in waves and tillows of hysterical giggle, hour which neither Winks nor frowns from Aaflt Lois, nor the aw/nl fear of tire tithing man, nor the comforting hits of fctmei and orange peel passed us by grandmother, could recover us Everybody felt, to he sure, that here wur a trial that called for sotne indulgence. Hard faces even among the stoniest mints betray ed a transient quiver of the risible mnsclcs, old ladies put up their fans, youths aod maid ens in the singers' seat laugned outright, and for the moment a general snicker among the children was pardoned. But I was ate of that luck lee* kind whose nerve*, once set in vibration, could not be composed. When the reign of gravity and decorum hod re turned. Harry and I set by each other, shak ing with suppressed laughter. Everything in th subsequent exercises took a funny turn, and in the long prayer, when everybody was still and decorous, the whole scene came over me *rith such overpowering force that 1 exploded with laughter and had to be token out of meeting and marched home by Aunt Loia, as a convicted criminal. What especial ly maved har indignation was the more she rebuked and upbraided the more I langhea, till the tews rolled down my cheeks. Which Aunt Lois construed into willful disrespect to her authority, and resented accordingly. By Sunday erenicir. as we gathered around the fire, the reaction from undue gayctv to sobriety had token place, and we were in a pensive and penitent state. Grandmother was gracious mid forgiving, but Aunt Lois still preserved that frosty air of reprsfattion which she held to be a salutary means ot quiekening our consciences for the ftiture.

It is in Latin, Dens; in Greek, Zens; Hebrew, Adou ; Syrian, _A<lad ; Arabian, Alia; Persian, fiyrs; Tartarian, Igad; Egyptian, Aumn; or Zeut; East India, Esgl or Zeal; Jspanesa, fain; Turkish, Addi; Scandinavian, Odin; Wallai-hian, Bene; Margian, Eese; Swedish, Oodd; Irish, Dich; German, Gott; French, Dieu; Spanish, Dios; and Peruvian, Llan. Tbe name of God is the Anglo- Saxoft conception of the Divine Being. He is goodaasa itself, and the author ol all poodnase. Yet the idea of denoting the Deity by a term equivalent to abstract and abaolcte perfection, striking as it inaj appear, is, perhaps, leas remarkable than the fact that tlie word man, used to des ignate a human being, formerly signified wickedness. The German Parliament baa 880 mem bers, of whom 113 are National Liberals, 62 Clericals, 52 Conservatives, 45 Pro greeaista, 86 Moderate imperialists, 18 roles, and two Socialists.

PKURONAL HTMPATHT.—-In an admira tde address on Sumhv-*rhool tcsehing, at Indianapolis, Dr. Lggleston gave this forcible illustiation of (he value of per sonal Hympaty with children in every effort to gain a hwld on and lend them: A hulf-xntted fellow or a " natural," a* the Scotch would call him—found n missing horso. when all other search for him had failed and a liberal reward had lajcn offered for hi* recovery. On hi* bnngiug bock the horse to hia owner, the question wa* asked of the simple minded fellow, "Why, Ham, how came you to find the horse, when no one else could?" "Wal, I just 'quired where the horse wa* men lu*t, and then I went thar, and sat on a rock; and I jnst axed ray-sel' if I was a hoiso, wlmr would I go aud what would I do? And then I went and found him." Sam'* putting him self In tho horse's place, in the simplic ity of his feeble mind, enabled him to go to the horse and lead him back to the , right place again. It would be well if every Sundy school teacher, before sit tiag down to a cla* of children, would ask himself after Ham's sort, "If 1 wa* a boy. how would I feel, and wlwt would I waut?" He would thus be far more likely to get a hold on those lioys, and bring them along with him wherever he pleased to go. MKOTAII PownßiN MEN ANI> WOMEN.— Regarding this oft-discn**ed subject, Profewor Mnudsley says : "It has been affirmed by some philosophers that there is no essential difference between the mind of a woman and that of a man ; and that if a girl were subjected to tho same education a* a boy. lie would re nembte him in ta*tes, feeling*, pursuit*, and powont. To my mind it would not bo one whit more absurd to affirm that the untlerH of the stag, the human beard, and the cockscomb, are the effect* of edticafioo ; or that liy putting a girl to tho same education a* a boy she could be sexually transformed into one. The physical and mental differ ence* between tho *oxoa intimate them selves very early in life, and declare themselves most distinctly at puberty. If either sex is mutilated, it approaches in character the opposito sex. While women preserves her sex, she will nec essarily be teebler tlinn man, and hav ing special bodily and mental rliorne ters, will have, to a certain extent, her own spheres of activity. When she ha* pretty well divested herself of her sex, she urny then tuko his ground and do his work ; but she will have lost all her feminine attnetious, and probubly also her chief feminine functions. A II KRoi.vß.—Charles Reade, in his nen novel, " A Simpleton," describes the her oine thus: "Person straight, elastic, and rather tall, mind—nineteen; accom plishments—numerous ; a pi>r French scholar, a worse German, a worst Eng lish, an admirable danoer, an inaccurate musician, a good rider, a bad draughts woman, a Laid hairdresser, at the mercy of her inaids; a hot theologian, knowing nothing; a sorry accountant, no house keeper, no seamstress, a fair embroiderers, a capital geographer, and no cook.

A* the vessel moved out from the dork the occupant* of a email boat that was un der the stern of the Barney threw a line to another man, dressed a* a boatman, and aaked him to fasten it iu the riog hook. The obliging boatman complied, and aa it ia a common practice for la Hit men, when the current ia rapid, to hitch ou to the ferryboat#, thia mameuvre did not eicite the aupiciou ol the ferry-mas ter in the leaat. A moment latter the | three occupant* of the boat again called to the boatman and requested him to pass the end of the rope under and over the ccuter of the guard chain to them, that they could drop away when they deaired. Again the obliging passenger complied. About thi* time the other confederate moved forwaid to the engine room, near the outside of which Collic was standing, little suspecting any foul play. Step ping up to the door, the fellow reached into the engine room, and, while lighting hi* cigar, took in with a glance the loca tion of the bag, which lav on the seat in rear of the engineer. Retiring he walked up aud down the deck smoking until the host wa* within a hundred yard* << the Williamsburg shore. Calling again to the door of the engine room, and standing three feet iu the rear ot Coffie, he intently heat hi* view upon the machinery until the signal was given to slow down. The moment Ravche's hands and eyea were employed directing hi* engine the daring pirate snatched the bag, and rapidly run ning to the rear ol the ferryboat, threw It into the small boat. Collie and Raehe quickly detected the movement, and ran to the rear of the boat in pursuit, but as titer neared the thief he leaped into the water from the deck, and jnst as Coffin jumped to catch the line of the small boat it *!ip|>ed over the chain and the boat ■dropped astern. >ue of the occupants of it cried out, "Take him up quick," and within a minute the boatman had been rescued from the water, and before the ferryboat could be put about the thieve* and their booty disappeared out of sight under some of the pier*. Subsequently th# fellow who had struck the bridgeman with hi* handkerchief, but who had taken no part in the robbery beyond securing the boat's hsw*er and haudlag the end of it back to its occupant*. wa arrested by an officer of the Brooklyn force aa he left the fern boat, as an acocroplice.

The Brussels Kcltt Jt tells a pleasant story ot an Kugliahinan and hi* wife, who not knowing a word of German, hut being able to express themselves anil in French, resolved to visit Berlin and Drewlen. At Berlin Ihejr ha<l been recom mended to a hotel, whither they were riding in a hack, when all at onrelbo lady eafiied an imposing editico apoo which were inscribed in large let iris the word* "Hotel Radxtevill." Bhe cried oat, 'There is a beautiful hotel, and the ritaa tion is "£up|WM wegotLerif" suggested the husband. " All right." It was done ax soon as said. Tlie driver was stopped. There were several ladies about the hotel, but none of them spoke either English or French. However the servant* were made to understand by guestucra that they were to take in the luggage, and the travellers were ceremoni ously conducted into an apartment. The lady asked by sign* tor a sleeping room, to which she wa* led, aud on her return said to her husband: " I never saw in all inj life a hotel so admirably furnished. Come and see the chamber and sleeping room!" Having dressed, our English folks lunrlied and announced to the ser veut that they would dine at five. They went to walk. On their return a gentle man of distinguished appearance entered their room, saluted them and aakl some thing in German which they did not un derstand. The Englishman thinking him a little familiar, replied carelessly in Eng lish, " Good, morning. Howdoyoudof" And tlie stranger withdrew. A delicious dinner wa* served. When the servant had gone, "Mv dear," ssid the gentleman to hia wife, "all this is excellent. Thi# is evidently first-clas*. Bat it must be very dear, and a* a matter of prudence it will be well to ask for tbo bill to-morrow morning." But ho neglected to do so, aud two day* more passed like the first. At last the bill was aaked for, but It was not brought. "I am beginning to lie a lit tle uneasy, my dew." ssid the husband. " Sorely no one could lie better cared for than wc are here, but I am jiersnaded tlie charge* will he frightful." At that mo ment the gentleman of distinguished ap Carance entered, and the following dia rne took place: "The Stranger—"l am Prince Rd rievill." The Englishman (rising and bringing a chair) —"To what may I attribute the honor of this visit!" Tho Prince—" Yon have evidently taken this hoose for a pnhllr hotel." The Englishman—"Certainly." Tho Prince—" Well, this is my private house, my hotel." The Englishman was so astonished that he could mako no reply and could not ex plain the mistake of his wife, who, in the greatest consternation, began to tell tbe prince in English that the word "hotel" over the door had caused her eiror. The prince, who saw tlielr confusion, politely expressed his satisfaction at having given hospitality to English people, and begged them to remain a few days longer tfiat he might enjoy their society. Of course the invitation was politely declined. The Englishman succeeded in making the ser vants accept a few presents, and the prince insisted upen accompanying them to a real " hotel" in his own carriage- Prince RadzieviU is tho Russian Am bassador at Berlin.
