" Well, en, we will Hud a l>ed a? onre. And 1 thiu* 1 have Home eujpcr In my po. ki t.' Little pi"k a-bRck gave tokens of a des re to have hi* nup er 'orhwith. 'No; n??t till you are In bed.

' The lad thanked God for ir, r>n 1 framed 1 and smoothed it into a pallet, on which j he earefully la d the three little < nes. ' Will tou not lie down, too,: ir?' asked i the courteoue, courageous littlcgiil * I want my supper,' wa'o.i the boy, and the tinniest be^ftn to raise a lejble cry. The lad took from h's pocket some hard biscuit soaked with sea-water? nau.ews I eaoagb, but thechi dren wore too hungry to be nice. There wm not much, and lie divided it all among tlmm. Will you not 1 are tome of It, sir?* 'I! oh no, my dear 1 1 had my supper long ago.' So the biscuit wac ft'l eaten, and the lit tie fellow stopped crying. | ' how you must say your prayer^,' said -j the r protector. The poor little lass began dutifully tumbling on* of her moss bod. ' You can liefr.iH* dear ; 1 will prny,?*d ! you sha]l */ Amen.' WiirGod listen when we are lying down T ' Yes, to-night lie will.' Then, kneeling beside the brave child, he uttered a jeverent petition: * VYe thnnk Thee, dear Lord, for having saved \ as from great danger, and pray Thee to make our lives worthy of being saved. : This was the simple burden of hie prayer, | ending with the omnipotent' Our Father.' Then he sat down to wait until the | children should fall asleep. He won d 1 then, he thought, all away to find tbrdY ! parents and the other survivors, should j there be a >y, and perhaps to g^t vile rest , and refreshment he so sorely needed, i Hut the unconscious childish selfishness was not yet satisfy. 'So cold,' wailetWhe boy, and a piteous little cry. 'Baby cold,' joined in chorus It was in vain to pile the inoss around | them. ' I want my blanket," was the clear d?/ maud. At last, the kind lad, stripping ofl i his jacket, spread it overt item and tucked h in, aid then they were -a:Lfied. bliiv. j ering as with ague, he crept down bee d< | his trusty little friend,: s lie somehow fell 11 the br?r-' girl to be, try ng to g?t warm It would not be ong, he thought, ln-fort the children would fall asleep, and 'hen he would warm himself with exercise and ^ nd help at last. Once, when all was still, he ventured to move ; but this tinx it was his patient little friend who pleadet in a very wakeful voce: * l'lease, sir don't go awav. 1 cannot get to sleep, ant. 1 am so frightened.' So he stayed. It was 1 ke a dream to him, that weid dark hole in th < hill aide, looking forth or a patch of c'-oud swept sky. It seemev that he must suddenly wake and find him pelf in his own berth in the goo 1 shir s?on to sail fairly into harbor. A"st witl.a there wa^ a clear consciouane^ of tin children's sto.tdy breathing, of the 'act that cold an! hung 'r, and weHkuca-. liao murderous reptiles, were sucking an ay , his very life. Then came & v.Bion of h:3 passage in that ship. A scene ou deck : a fragile wom^n with a gent.e, holy face, and he. her son supporting her. Before them, a very glorl ou^sun>et, with that strangely, gwe?tly, elear and mellow light banding the horizon which m>ik?s um fancy that heaven < opene there. The two are talking with | the vivid sound of dreams. 'It grows cold, mother; you must go below.' ' Stay a moment, love. I shall soon bo where suns never eot. I feel so peaceful to-night; I know that all is well. When you meet your father, tell him to wuit patiently till God ehsll call him to join me In that happy plare. Arid you, my boy, will keep the same hope in your heart; will you not? But piay tLnt hei fore you die, He will grant you to V-nve lived so that some poor souls may bless you.' The vision changed;?a shotted ham. mock drooped into the pea, and a b y llnng prone u|s)Q the dtck, crying, 'Mother, mother, how can I live all alone T He did not shed ono tear now. Thcro was rather a smile on hia face a? ho murmured, 'Thank God f-lie went before this ni^ht." He prayed again the prayer she had enjo'ned upon him, and addol this, that his father might be comforted. One of the children iiwo!te. and began to cry, 'Jlntl.or!' He roused himself again, though numbing frost s'-eraed soakin^f into all liis frame. He soothed tlie ! child, and even tried to lull it off with a little story, but the words ran one into another, anl that effort came to nought. So passed the wenry night. At length, when <t*wn hud taken the horror from their sleeping-pla'.T, he told the children to lie still, for he would go to tlnd their ; parents, and so b ft them with a ki^3. He Wandered on as in'a dream, seen^ng to ?>ee tlixougu a mint, with a dim sense oi Richness and feebleness. When or how lie hardly knew, he descried two haggard figures hastening towards him through the snow. They harried faster on soeiog him, and oame up w.th ea^ar, woeful faca.

The Jticfrial Committee of the Town Counc 1, finding the Archbishop's grounds perfectly legal, lias recommend *d the authorities to retrr.ct their first prom. Lift, Jeremy Taylor. Probably no English divine, even in those days when so many were cast oat of their stalls or their parsonages, led a moro checkered life than Jeremy Taylor. Cambridge, London, Oxford, Uppingham, the royal array, the retreat in Wales, the lectureship and the Bishopric in Ireland, all pass before as In a life not prolonged much beyond middle age. No doubt tke>e many changes, with their attendant miseries, and the fueling of being constantly under suspicion, must have been very grevious to the M>ul of one who loved study and evidently enjoyed the refinements of courtly S'K-iety. In fact a tone of querulousness does appear here and there in his letters; yst on the whole we believe that Taylor, in the midrt of his distresses and wanderings, was a Happy man ; he had the disposition which Instinctively withdraws itself from the contact of the pe'ty roughnesses o' life and peixes *ucli enjoyments as are attainable. He would walk in the sunsk'ne whi> sunshine was to be found, and not ? mi i rrv _ voluntarily seek tbe bleak mil s.ae. me works of so very imnghat ve a writer give but an imperfect reflectiou of tlie character of the man : when a mafi can so readily throw himself into the mood which beseems the occasion, we hardly know what mood is natural to liira; (iarr'ck'a Jlnvdet gives no indication of Garrick's o-vn personality. Nevertheless, with all Taylor's cliangcs of style end even of thought, the undercurrent of sweetness, gentleness, and tolerance is so constant that we can hardly doubt that these did indeed form an essential part of his char ?cter And to this swee'ness we have a better testimony titan that of bis works?his poiyer of attracting friends. If the richness of h e conversation at all corresponded to that of his writings, he must have been a most charming companion; and lie had that instinctive sympathy which adapts itself without effort to the disposition of the person a idressed. Probably his episcopate waa the least happy portion of his Pfe; but such a man, w th such friends, was not likely to be altogether j 111 serable, It is even pathetic to see how, in the m dst of the distractions of his changeful life, he continues with indomitable perseverance his study and his writing. Bes des Greek and La in, he understood French and Italian ; and not only was he extremely well read in patristic and scholastic theology, but he wan constantly in communi cation with Mr. Hoysten, the bookseller, and contrived to keep liftiself acquaiu'ed w ;li the current literature of the day, U<> h English a ?d foregu. lie " won Id ra her ftirn eh ha n:wly wi'h Plutarch ! and Cicero, with Livy a1 d Po!yb us, "than wi'h Cassandra and Ibrahim Passa; jot j he did not d<spisoe :hnr Mme. de Bcudori, or Wliejrone, or Tom Naah; he road JJant-c, i? ho was not averse to pass an hour wi h Poggro Btureiol n'.; he would r. cret?^ bin self after his meditations on Holy Dying, w tk a story of I'retonius.

Qutirttrlg Ilcci'iP. j I ^ ^ Ktirsos. It Is almost better for a sick j erson to be without a at all, than to Lave a i fuaey fhtgitj one in the room, who gives the poor invalid the feeling of living in the Hildat of a small whirlwind. That It proceed?.from the nervousness and anxiety ?f affection is no comfort, and indeed is often only an agg avatbn. for the fresh worry that tl?e poor nurse is sure to throw herself into, ie a check upon the expression of une&aine-a or additional ilii.cs\ which is often a relief. Ileal affection, j united with common sense. will prodr.co the steady, calm demeanor which iH such a rest and comfort to those who have to struggle with the nervousness and irritability incidental toBevera illnesa. Want of presence of mind in a sick room is p;oductive of worse evils than mere di?tr? ph to the invalid. .The fussy ia i y agitated nurse will be quite overwhelmed by the s ght of a fainting fit, or the bursting ? nf>KNih of a vein after bleodinc ?),? .11 forget th?s simplest remedies, or be too tn*rvoas and too faint to apply them properly ; xhaje always in danger of mistaking lneuicii;* aud sometimes gives a lotion inn rnally, and carefully rabs on a tonic or a oothiug draught. It is 1.0 exaggeration t > tay that far more suffering, and even ]o<m of lile. lias been caused by want of composure and presence of mind in a sickroom, than by nogligeuce, whether wilful or undesigned. ' A Cure i-or irrtmxara*. Pnc. JohriPfln gives a prescription toenre every drunkard, which amount! to this: 1. Eat comfortable meals at regulaf hours, partaking es]>ecially of farinaceous food, vegetables and fruits throe times a day. * 2. Exercise regularly, but so as not to Induce fatigue. 8. Have regular and long sleep, going to bed and rising at regular boars, and I take a sleep about noon, If convenient. 4. Keep the mind rs much interested and amused as possible, by harmless games, sports, etc. 5. Take a warm bath daily, aboat 11 A. M., if convenient. 6. Break up old association*. 7. Keep away from old resorts. 8. Quit chewing and smoking tobacco, for this blunts the moral sense, and makes the imagination dull. Liquor makes t Ideal faculty wild and un?eit'eJ, while . tobacco makes it obtuse. 9. Never forget that if yoa are to be a new man you must hare new idea*, and these must be such ns to make you discard the nee of alcohol in all it* forms. Do not take it as a inedi-ine any more than as a beverage, for it w 11 re-awnken the old desire in the one case as readi.y as ift the other. % : * Fathors, a Thought for-Yon. " What wiil you take to drink," asked a waiter of a young lad, who for the t.r-t time accompanied his father to a public dinner. Uncertain what to Ray?fe 1 ng sure he could not be wrong if he followed his father's example, he replied, "I'll take what father takes." The answer readied the father's ear. and instantly the full responsibility of his t>osition flashed upon him. And the father 6huddered at the history of several young men, once as promising as his own bright lad, and ruined by drink, started up in solemn warning before him. Rapidly these thoughts went through his mind.
