HOW I LIVE.

. Acting fairly to all men,
Seeking to do that toother
, They may do to me again ;
Hating no man, scorning no man,
Wronging none by word or deed ;
But forbearing, soothing, serving,
Thus I live and thus my creed.
Harsh condemning, fierce contending,
Is of little Christian use,
"One soft word of kindly peace
Is worth a torrent of abuse ;
'Calling things bad, calling men bad,
, Adds but darkness to their night;
:If thou wouUst improve thy brother.
Let thy gjodness be his right.
I have felt and known bow bitter
Human coldness makes the -world
Erj'bcsom round me frozen.
Hot an eye with pity pearled ;
BtUI my heart with pity teeming
Glad when others hearts are glad
And my eyes a tear-drop findeth
At the sight of others sad.

Little recks it where he stands,
In whatever walk you find him,
Scattered over many lands;
Man is man by form and feature,
Man by voice and virtue too
And in all one common nature
Sjeaks and bids us to be true.

'I thiuk she'll answer tay pQrpose very

'"You will have no trouble in that re
tpect. EUid the matron with a sigh. I do
uot think Minnie has a soul belonging to her
in ttie wide world, tier mother died in
treat poverty about three years ago in New
York, and Minnie knows nothing whatever
about herself, poor child."
"That's just as it should be," said Mrs.
Parker, with a self satisfied air. "Poor
people have no business to have any rela
tions. Well. I guess I'll take her."
"You will be kind to the poor little or
phan, ma juii," said the matron wistfully.
"Of course I -shall," said Mrs. Parker,
loosing the cherry colored ribbons. "She
will have the best of homes in my family."
'"I should like to have her go to church
aikast once every Sunday, and "
"To be sure to be sure," said Mrs. Par

Prolong the conversation. "She shall have
very opportunity; I hope you don't take

Wiethe is not one of tbe whimpering kind."
The
matron's cheek flushed a little as she
"hwiered one or two cheering words to
Minnie. - - ... ......
And so Minnie Grove's little parcel was

out of the wide gateway that had sheltered

Parker's eyes flashed balefully.

Minnie's cheek flushed, and then grew

"It's raining," said Mrs. Parker looking
doubtfully out of the window, "but "
"It isn't raining very hard, and I am a

"Minnie," said Mrs. Parker authorita

All that night Minnie tossed to and fro,
trying to stifle her hectic cough in the scant
pillow, lest Miss Angeline s pampered slum
bers should be disturbed, and wondering if
til the world was as joyless and dreary as
the brier glimpse she had already had of it.
W hen she rose in the morning, pale and
inrested, with dark circles round her eyes
and a dizzy feeling in her brain, the snow
was piled hicli against the attic window
panes, aud the wind was thrieking in shrill
usts down in the street.
Minnie! Minnie! echoed Mrs. Parker s
sharp discordant voice up ths stairway, "get
your broom and the snow shoel mi clear

men charge a quarter for doing it, and you
may as well save the money for me. Come

Half an hour subsequently, Mrs. Parker
was startled by a brisk peal of her front
door bell.
"Well, what's wanting now?" she de

secretly gnashing her teeth at the idea of
boutid girls having mortal frailty and weak
ness. i'ruly, it was a great presumption.
"Vrhat a pity that iVinne should take it
into her ridiculous head to be sick at such a
time as this," groaned Mrs. Parker as she
took out her silver and cut glass for the
decoration of a gala dinner table. "And

coming to dinner, too.
"Isn't Minne any better to-day ?" asked
Angeline, j awning.
"No, I suppose not ; any way, she won't
get up."
Pshaw! said Angeline spitefully, she s
as well as I am, if she only chose to say so."
"Your father was saving something- about
sending for a doctor if she didn't get better'

tor, indeed ! it s only that she likes lying in

dress shall I wear? It's a great shame that
Minnie can't curl my hair for me." "
Put on your blue silk, Angeline, with
the white lace trimming ; it is so becoming
to your fair head and delicate complexion.
Those old bachelors are uraccountable crea
tures, and there is no saying but that he
will put the whole of his business into your
father's hands if you succeed in making a
favorable impression."
. Accordingly, Mrs. and Miss Parker were
attired in their best that afternoon, as the
door opened and the two gentlemen came
in Mr. Parker tall and thin, with green
spectacles and a cadaverous countenance,
and Mr. Elliott a portlyr brown-faced man,
with fiery black eyes'und a mobile mouth,
but partially concealed by a heavy gray
moustache. '
"Delighted to see you, I am sure, Mr.
Elliott, said Mrs. Parker, sweetly, while
Angeline courtesied nearly to the floor.;
"Pray take the easy chair."
"es, yes, I I dare say," spattered the
East Indiaman, beginning a nervous trot up
and down the room, "but I don't want to
sit down. Parker don't keep me in sus
pense any longer."
Mrs. Parker looked at her husband in
surprise. Mr. Parker was . polishing his
spectacles. .
"My dear, here's a very singular state of

"She she isn't feeling very well to dav,"

"Then take me to her."
"Yes but I'm not exactly sure that is.
I think she ought to be kept perfectly qui

poor Minuie s carpetless floor and ricketty
cot bed, with a thrill of apprehension.
"Perfectly quiet ! I tell you I will see my

eye saw no outlet of escape.

meekly, and Mrs. Parker had no choice but
to obey.

sloping roof and one dormer window, half

East Indiaman, could claim in all the wide

Parker. "It must be a mistake." 1
But there was no possibility of mistaking
the seal or the great Destrover unon that
white forehead, around the marble hps.

Solitary and unfriended, Minnie Grove

o he was buried under the most solemn
mausoleum that gold could purchase, with a
chisled angel bending over her dust, as if it
mattered how or where she was laid to rest.
nd Walter Elliott went back to the tropics
without placing his business in Mr. farker s
hands.
"You have murdered my niece !" he said
sternly, when the various reports ot Mm
nie's wretched life reached his ears reports
that would not be suppressed, in spite of
Mrs. Parker's endeavors to still the tongue
of popular gossip.
Ihus ended the brief, sad life of Mmnte,
the orphan. Would to Heaven there were
not too many such lives in our midst I
Sligiitlt Mistakes. The following
story is told in relation to the popular per
nicious vice ot fortune telling : Not
many evei ings since, it is recorded that a
sinner who had escaped hanging for lo these
many year?, was in company with several
ladies. The subject of fortune telling was
introduced. Several of the "angels" plead
guilty to the soft impeachment of having
written to Madame This and Madame That
to furnish leaves for their future history.
Instances of some remarkable developments
in a certain case hereabouts were mentioned.
Old R was asked for his opinion. He re-
flied, 'So far as I am personally concerned,
know more about myself than I wish to.
I don't think any good tomes of these things.
I had a friend who dressed in lady's apnarel
and called upon a celebrated prophetess.
He did net believe ohe would discover the
disguise, but he heard what made him ex
ceedingly unhappy.' Here the old repro
bate ceased. A lady who was much inter
ested asked:
'What did she tell him?'
'She told him be was to marry soon, and
become the mother often children.' "
Never Kissed a White Girl. Some
time ago a planter, a short distance from
Memphis gave a party to the young folks in
the neighborhood. It was a gay -one, and
in the course of the evening the boys and
girls played forfeits. While this was going
on, it chanced that a son or the planter, a
nice, modest fellow, had to claim a forfeit of
some of the girls, but ' was overcome with
diffidence. "Go ahead, John," said the
Elanter, "and kiss some of the girls." John
itched from one foot to the other, blushed,
and finally blurted out, " I never kissed
a white girl, father." The laughter that
ensued may be imagined.
A Paris paper has this clever satire on
the present high prices: "A devout lady
who attends the .church of St. Roche, has
been in the habit of giving a half franc
every Saturday to an old man who sits at
the door with a box to receive alms. The
other day when sbe proffered the usual sum
to him, he said, 'I beg your pardon, Mad
ame, during the Exhibition it is a franc "
Albert Pike has performed one great
achievement. In a recent editorial he pro
duced a single sentence of two hundred and
ten words without any other stop than a
few commas. '
If one could be conscious of all that is
I said of him in his absence, he would proba
bly become a very uodest man, indeed.
EDU0ATI01T.
For the "Raftsman's Journal."
Education is cultivation, discipline, infor
mation, und training.- It relates to the
growth ot the body, as well as the mind.
and must be imparted to the youth with a
view to tne development ot both, and con
sequently the necessity of its being based on
uysioiogy, or the laws ot health.
The successful teacher knows the necessi
ty ot haying a joyous activity maintained
among nis pupils, and this can only be ob
tained by a careful attention to th'e health.
comfort, recreation, and exercise of those
placed under his charge. Attention must
be the ruling force, happiness the constant
excitement.
It is to be lamented that the schools, in
most country places, are in the condition in
which thev are too often found. N
of children are crowded, for six hours in the
day, into small rooms, badly lighted, worse
ventilated, and, in a majority of cases, de
void of comfort, beautv. and attraction.
Here they are cramped in tiresome positions,
ami study till learning becomes a wearisome
task ; and, for weeks and months this mo
notonous work goes on. with the loss of
health and ambition, and the pupil, while
at school, is devoid of all that is attractive
to youth.
lhe teacher ought always to study the in
terest of his pupils, and change the exerci
ses in such a manner that thev will take
pleasure in their studies, and look upon
them as a pleasing recreation.
1 am ot the opinion that two-thirds of
the trouble teachers have in governing their
schools, originiate from the above mention
ed evils.
In school rooms which are not properly
ventilated, the pupils become dull and lan
guid., and hence their uneasiness and ina
bility to remain ouiet ; they become cross
and illnatured. And the same is true in re-
nrd to the teacher. The pupils become
inattentive and restless ; the teacher threat
ens, scolds, and flogs, all for want of proper
attention paid to the physical necessities or
the pupils. ; Most teachers seem to think
they have nothing to do with the pupils in
this respect, and allow them to form habits
of sitting and standing, just as it happens.'
lhe results of such carelessness, on the
part ,ot the teacher, are truly, lamentable.
It is easier to maintain an erect position than
any other, while it is more enndacire to
tieaiMK It should be the chief care of the
teacher to see that every pupil maintains
proper position ; that is, they should stand
with head erect, chest brought forward, and
shoulders thrown back.
The teacher, who will attend to the posi
tion or his pupils, will nnd that they spea
plainer and more distinctly, while in this
position, than in any other, for the more air
inhaled and retained in the lungs, the fuller
and more sonorous will be the voice : conse
quently the necessity of attending to the
expansion or the chest.
Great care should be taken that the pu
pits pronounce each word distinctly, giving
each syllable its full sound.
lhere is one thing more in which the
teacher should not forget to instruct his ou
pus Morality. It is the base on which the
principle of the man, in after life, is found
ed. He should teach them obedience to
God, kindness towards their companions
and love For their country. "W. A. 8.
There is one old man in- the Kansas pent
tentiary, pious and conscientious sentenced

Drummond. He was a soldier in the Union

clearly establish the density of the popula

89,103 names, which multiplied by 3 gives
the result stated.

The new Dominion of Canada wants a
design for a flag. A large number of our
