Self. It has been said that the arch flatterer, with whom all the pretty flatterers have intelligence, is a mail's self. Look out for self. It is the evil with < which we have to contend, ever pres- ; ent, insinuating, universal and deadly ?the rival of Christ, the enemy of all j spiritual advance. Self reigns or Christ. There can be no division of rule?no partnership. Paul recognized i it in his day as the great hindrance to the gospel; of Timothy he said, "I ( have no man likeminded who will naturally care for your state; for all seek their own, not the things that are Jesus Christ's." Rutherford says, "Every man blameth the devil for his sins; but the great devil, the home-devil of every man, the home-devil tbat eateth and lieth in every man's bosom,?that killeth all, is himself." Luther said, "I am more afraid of my own heart than of the Pope and all his cardinals. I have withia me the great Pope, self." It is said by Plutarch that after a great battle the Athenians came to an altar and every officer was to inscribe the name of those who had done the best ?in til A service. .Every one yui imuo^ii au vuv * first place and Themistocles in the second. The- apostle says, "We preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus, the Lord, and ourselves your servants." How much preaching there is of self?a flavor of Christ. The end to be reached is Christ, but we travel to that end by the road of self. Self is the last, but self the first, also. An old man being asked why he complained of pain and weariness each eveniBg, replied, "I have every day so much to do; I have two fulcons to tame, two hares to keep from running away, two hawks to manage, a serpent to confine, a lion to chain, aud a sick man to tend and wait upon. The two falcons are my two eyes, which I must diligently guard lest something should please them which may be hurtful to my salvation; the two hares are my two feet which I must hold back lest 'they should run after evil objects, and walk in the way of sin; the two hawks are my two hands which 1 must train and keep to work, in order that I may be able to provide for myself and my brethren who are in need ; the serpent is my tongue, which I *"?? nrifVi a hrirllp lpsj D1UBI lUWa^B accjj W it should speak anything unseemly: the lion is my heart, with which J have to maintain a continual tight in order that vanity and pride may not fill it. but that the grace of God may dwell and work there; the sick man is my whole body, which is always needing my watchfulness and care." "All this daily," he said, "wears out my strength." This self must be crucified, but who will endure the cross by a volunteer surrender? It ha> been truly said that: "We,cannot be too often, or too strongly warned against this fatal? this soul-destroying sin. The whole example of our Lord, the entire spirit and teachings of the gospel, are in ut*9 C Z A- A n /4 Tirol) I ter condemnation ui it. auu they m%y be,?for if allowed to have its way, ev^ry human virtue would in the endv.be sacrificed by it, and lift would become a cold, desolate and barren waste. . Hope would expire, foj there could be no happiness here and no Heaves hereafter. "In battling against this spirit we are in constant danger of being led far away, for it is exceedingly insidious. as well as terribly deceitful. Ii leajtajqaay aone to think and believe that he is acting from pure motive.1and seeking, good ends while all the time he is inspired by a thorough selfishness, and laboring to accomplish hJ%oj*n,purposes.? Mr. Moody told the young men at his Northfield meetings that they "r ' ***otrorvhAil l? in UHQH IWiru uuvy w iuanc w/?j ... the-, audience listen. He said that when preaching in England a young man just in front of him began to leaf a hymn book. It greatly annoyed him, find be felt that he could not go on -with-the sermon while the man was going through the book, leaf by lea&. So he said : "When 1 was in America, a man in the audience who wm just about the age of this man in front of me who is leafing the hymn book That was enough. The book was instantly closed, and the man was one of the first to go into the inquiry-room. People thoughtlessly do many things in church which are annoying to the preacher and to the audience. Little children would no! usually make any trouble in church if 11 WCIO IJUV JU4 tuc paicuis TTUW MV?W?.V their entire attention to them. Put a little chilli down between a father and mother, and let them watch it and pick at it from both sides, and it is more than most preachers and congregations can endure. Slammiko Doors.?One of the rudest habits of ill-bred and thoughtless persons is that of slamming doors. Once I called with a friend upon u siok person whose nerves had become so painfully acute through suffering that n ise tortured her. A screen door opened from her room to the ball, and as callers or members of the family passed in or out, a quick, sharp slum ol the door followed close on their egress or ingress. The torture of the noise sent a spasm of pain across the sick woman's face, but she bore it uncomplainingly, thinking it more endurable than flies and mosquitoes, and no one had noticed or thought to lessen this annoyance, until my friend's kind heart and quick eye prompted and planned a remedy. She called for tacks and cotton batting, and making firm.little cushions of the batting, she tacked them up and down the casing where the door would strike, and the sharp slam-bang was instantly softened as the door swung to. The grateful language and glance of the sick womtin made me wish that I, too, had eyes that could see ways to be helpful towards others. A man's true companions are his thoughts and purposes ; his character forms his real neighborhood and surroundings. The most pitiable poverty oi soui may cringe auuu iue sjiiciiuui of Murray Hill, and true royalty may be enthroned in 9onie squaliil tenement amid the grimy bricks of Baxter street. When Ben Jonson, the poet, was ill and poverty-stricken, a sympathetic nobleman laid his case before the king, whom he had often delighted by his dramatic talents. With a great show of condescension the kiug sent him a paltry present. Jonson returned it, with the message: "I suppose his majesty sent me this because I live in an alley; tell him his soul Uvea in an alley." Many a rich man lives in a mental alley, and many a vivacious intellect is surrounded by moral narrowness and squalor. If men had only temptations to great sins, they would always be good; but the daily fight with little ones ac customs'them to defeat. If a forbearing temper should be maintained towards the irreligious, how much more by the professors of religion towards each other. The best way to keep good acts in memory is to refersh them with new *.'Sfi > '.V: if. k . A ? .t Spelling-. It is marvelous, says the New Orleans Christian Advocate, how many persons there are who, reading every day and writing very often, do not know how to spell a great number of very common words. We never knew liow widespread was this deficiency until we came into the editor's chair. We get communications from all sorts of people?from college-bred men and women and from those who never had other than "old field school" advantages, and the defect in spelling is found in both classes. If we were to print some communications as they are written, we would call down upon our heard the fiercest tempest of indignation. It seems that people who read much ought to learn how to spell by the eye. Books and newspapersthanks to the proof-reader, with a dictionary at his side?generally have words spelled correctly; and a little practice of the eye in looking at the spelling ought to give correctness. Some excuse themselves on the ground of inattention. They know how, but flic ova cn nr>mmif>d with the thought IUV.J ' ~ -I _ that the spelling is a minor consideration. In answer to this, it is sufficient to say: A thought worth putting on paper is worthy " of a becoming dress. Others say, "Spelling is a natural gift, and cannot be acquired by everybody." A writer who has a dictionary can learn to spell any word in the English language. If a writer has no dictionary, let him buy one before he writes again. We are inclined to think that a good deal of incorrect spelling is the result of carelessness; and carelessness in anything is unpardonable. These thoughts have come from the fact that we received the other day a communication from a writer who, for a large part of his life, has been a teacher, and who has been a constant contributor to the papers, and yet using the word "initv" nuitfl a number of times, every time it was spelled wrong. If we had published it as written, the printer, proof-reader and editor would have been pronounced a "set of solemn blockheads." We Jare not complaining, but simply setting forth the curious feet that many popular writers are deficient in orthography. Good advice and sound wisdom are none the less acceptable when they come from an unknown source. The following bit of wholesome literature we take from an exchange which knows nothing more about the author than that he is "somebody who is worth listening to." "Having entered a pew, move along; do not block up the end of the pew, as if you did not intend to have anybody enter it, or as if you were holding "it for expected friends. Do not rise to let others in, but move along, aud leave the pew invitingly open, so that they will know they are welcome. If a pew holding six has five already in it, do not file out in formal procession to let one poor, scared woman go to the farther end, but move along, and let her sit at the end next'the aisle; it is not necessary now for a stalwart man to sit at the end, ready to push out and kill Indians, as possibly it was once." No one is a more dangerous enemy to all that is sweet and good in human life than the one who lends to impurity the sanction of splendid talents. He that dislikes to do what he knows will one day not know what to do, CLEARING In order to rid my stc I offer 50 remnants in for children dresses or < 58 remnants in Dress 40 remnants in Calic< These goods are on m the number of yards in each remnant attached several other bargains customers when in tl are made to cash buyei and we will give you a for very little money.

In spite of the scant encouragement afforded by the present political outlook on the Continent, it is gratifying to note that the promoters of the movement in favor oi internatioual arbitration. are not idle. A meeting held at Paris the other day was attenued by several French deputies who are in sympathy with this peaceful agitation, and by some English M. P's. It was decided to hold a Congress, representing England, America, Kranee, and any other countries in favor of the scneme, on the occasion of the Paris Exhibition next year. It was stated at this meeting that thirty-six members of the House of Lords are supporters of the movement. Whilst the Europeau Powers are eyeiug each other with distrust and suspicion, each hesitates to be the first to substitute the council chamber for the battlefield ; but, in view of the tremendous strain and burden imposed upon the people by the maintenance of such bloated armaments, considerations of economy alone should be sufficient to secure general acceptance and adoption of the principle and practice of ar bitration. When you receive a kindness, remember it; when you do one, forget it. The sayings of many great men would till volumes. Their doings could be written on a postal card. Consecrate all your energies for good, scatter all your bad desires, and life's harvest will fill your grauary with wealth. Good temper, like a sunny day, sheds a brightness over everything, it is the sweetener of toil and the soother of disquietude. Every first-rate man of business can create a first-rate business. By such a man obstacles of time, situation, poverty and competition can be overcome. Do uot preach politeness and propriety to children and viotete their laws yourself. In other words, let the example you set them be a good one. Extravagant speech is but a form of slang, and scarcely less objectionable.

The great high-road of human wellbeing lies along the old highway of steadfast well-doing. How my heart glows with a warm, sympathetic feeling for those truehearted, noble women who are loyal wives, and who know that if "John" does fail in his duty once in a while, lie is only waiting for a chance to repay all tenderness and forbearance in a ten-fold ratio.
