The low man must find his enjoymei
in low pleasures. To these his chara
ter shuts him up. He is "himself li

"Style is the man." This was a si

done much better had he said : Tasi

understand them. They care little fr

What a great blessing will it be I
us, then, if we early form a taste fr
the highest and best things! It wi

the purest and best men in your con

A Marriage Charm.
Young wives and husbands cannr
be too strongly reminded of the prob;
ble shipwreck they will make of thei
happiness if they yield to that il'-terr
per which expresses itself in discouri
e*y, want of compliance, unnecessar
opposition, and, above all, that disa:
trous amusement of "nagging" an
creating a row. Hundreds of housi
holds have gone wrong from the mei
want of checking in time the habit (
annoying as a relief to a momentar
feeling of irritation or discomfort. Th

young people are doing thei
best to dig the grave of their marrie
peace; and some day, poor, faintin
little love will fall into it stark an
plumeless, and will never rise to lii

tifls and discomforts are made up wit
a kiss from him and a few tears fror

The Lord Shaftesbury once said thi
young ladies would be surprised t
find with what respect they would b
treated by the forlorn classes if the
would go amongst them with a viei
to education. In one of the won
parts of London, he said, there was a
institution which he visited. In on
room he found about thirty-five me
listening to the teachings of th
daughter of a small shop-keeper in th
neighborhood, and she was one of th
prettiest women he ever saw in hi
life. He noticed that there was 11
one present but the young woma
with those rou^h men, and he said t
the superintendent, "Are you afraid t
leave my little friend alone with a
those?" He replied, "I am." "The
why don't you go to her?" "You mil
take my fear. I am not afraid of thei:
doing her any harm. They love he
so much that they would kiss th
ground on which she walks ; but I at

What Others Say.
Professor Max MuIIer would scarceIy
be selected as a type of an evangeli- v
cul thinker; liis view of God is rather
that of Pope's Universal Prayer. Yet. A
addressing the British and Foreign
Bible Society at its recent meeting, he A
made these very distinct utterances.
Said Professor Muller:
"I may claim that in the discharge A
of my duties for forty years (as professor
of Sanskrit in the University of A
Oxford) I have devoted as much time
ns any man living to the study of tin A
sacred books of the East. And I veil
ture to tell this meeting what I havt E
found to be the one key note?the one s,
diapason, so to speak?of all these so
called sacred books, whether it be the A
Veda of the Brahmins, the Puranas of
Siva and Vishnu, the Koran of the A
Mohammedans, the Zenda vesta of the
Buddhists,?the one diapason, the one ^
refrain that you will find through all, A
salvation by works. They will all say
that salvation must be purchased, R
must oe uougm wun a price; ana mat
the sole purchase money must be our B
)(j own works and deservings. Our own
Holy Bible, our sacred book the East,
is from beginning to end a protest
against this doctrine. Good works
are, indeed, enjoined upon us in that
'y sacred book of the East far more
et strongly than in any othersacred book . , 1
