Oh, was Miriam, the sister of Moses, doing a good thing, an import ant thing, a glorious things, when she watched the boat woven of river plants and made watertight with ssphaltum, carrying its one passenger?

It would be less biameworthy to take a bunch of thorns and draw them across your sister's cheek, or take a knife and draw its sharp edge across your brother's hand till the blood spurts, for that would damage only the but teasing is the thorn and the knife scratching and Inrcerating the disposition and the soul. It isthe curse of innumerable OniN hody, the sisters the brothers Sometimes it is the color of the hair or the shape of the features, or an affair of the heart. Sometimes it is by re vealing a secret or by asuggestive look, a guffaw, or an “Ahem.” Tease! Tense! For merey's sake, quit it. Christ says: “He that hateth his brother Is a murderer.” Now, when you, by teasing, make your brother or mister hate, you turn him or her into a murderer or murderess, Tense! Don’t let jealousy ever touch a sister's soul, as it so often does, beonuse her brother gets more honor or more means. Even Miriam, the heroine of the text, was struck by that evil pas. sion of jealousy.

The incident impressed me the more because in my childhood I had much the same experi ence. The boy asked his comrades to go with him, but they dared not. It got later and later—7 o'clock, 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock. “Oh” he said, “1 wish I were home! the last time a blinding flash of light ning and a deafening roar overcame him.
