Have you ever heard of the castle that was taken with a single gun? It stood on the Ithine, and .ts walls were yards thick, and the old knight who lived in it laughed when he saw the 1 enemy come with only a single cannon. But they planted the cannon on a little hill, and all day long they loaded and fired, without ever moving the muzzle an inch. Every shot struck exactly the same spot on the wall, but the first day passed and they h d scarcely scratched the stone. So ihe < old knight drank up hi? wine cup, and went lo bed in peace. Day after day the cannonade wenton, and the more j thflv fired the louder the knijrht laughed, and the more wine he dra7ik( and the sounder he slept. At theend j of a week one stone was in splinters ; in a month the one behind it was bat- | tered to powder; in ten monthsa breach . was made wide enough for the enemy ] to enter and capture the castle. That | is how a boy's heart is most often . taken. If I had any advice to ofler , anybody; I should say, Beware of the | slow sins?the old recurring Tempta- ( tion which is powerful not so much in | what it is or what it does once, but in ] the awful patience of its continuance, j It is by the ceaseless battery of a com- { monplace Temptation that the moral 5 nature is underminded and the citadel ( of great souls won.?Anon. ( Heaven Begun. , It is said of an old Puritan the heaven was in him before he was in heaven. < That is neccessary for all of us. We ? must have heaven in us before we get into heaven. If we do not get to het.v-|< en before we die, we shall not get there! 1 afterward. An old Scothman was J asked whether he ever exepeeeted to j i get to heaven. "Why, man, I live) there," was the quaint reply. Let us ' all live in those spiritual things which J are the essential features of heaven. Often go there before vou go to stay t there. If you come down to-morrow 1 morning realizing that heaven is t yours, and that you will soon be there, t those children will not worry you half I so much. When you go out to your * business or to your work you will not i he half so discontented when yon 1 know that this is not your rest, but 1 that you have a rest in the hills s eternal, whither your heart has already j < gone, and that there your portion isj in the everlasting dwellings. "Lay!' hold on eternal life." Getalioldof it# now. It is a thing of the future, and If is a thing of the present; and even f your part of it that is future can he, l>y i1 faith, so realized aud grasped as to be!1 actually enjoyed while you are yet here.?

Hut," lie added, as if lie felt compelled to speak < the whole truth, "she never took kindly to the animals. Why, even in 1 whiter, she wouldn't let the snakes sleep under the bed." Says Phillips Brooks, of Boston : "Never shall my hand or voice he lifted against socalled temperance fa lUUK\s. 11 I'vt'r iv i:uu?c jiniuicu liiiiuticium, the temperauce cause does. To me there is nothing more disgusting, i or more disheartening to the cause of humanity, than the selfish, ease-lov! ing, luxurious man, indulging in dissipation and denouncing temperance fanaticism." More than talent, more than beauty, i more than wealth, sometimes more than wisdom, good manners are the ' best letters of introduction and the . firmest cement of friendship. The cranberry is supposed to have ^ been so named from the appearance of . its bud. Just before expanding into the perfect flower the stem, ciilyx and petals resemble the neck, head and bill :. of the crane. Hence the name "cranberry," or "craneberry." The cran berry is a native of North America, e and is found from Virginia to Minnesota. All Amusing Anecdote Some time ago an amusing little anecdote related about the German Crown-Prince while having a lesson in . grammar from his tutor. One is now being told about the second son of the imperial couple, Prince Eitel Fritz. ; The emperor is exceedingly strict about his son's behavior at table. Not ( long ago little Prince Eitel Fritz, using his fiuuers instead of his knife and | fork, was corrected by his father several times to uo purpose. At last the ( emperor's patience was exhausted, and he said : ( "Children who eat with their fingers . are like little dogs that bold their food with their paws. If you use your , fingers again you must go under the , table, the proper place for little dogs." The little prince did his utmost not . to forget this time, and used his kuife J ind fork like a man; but all at once ( he forgot again and began nsing his fingers. "March under the table," t said his father and the boy. crept , jndera9 bidden. After a little while he emperor, thinking the prince very ( juiet lifted up the table-cloth and , ueeped underneath. There sat little Prince Eitel Fritz undressed. His , 'ather asked him what he meant by indressing himself. The child answered, "Little dogs don't wear ilothes; they only have skin."?Select:d. A physician was accustomed to 1 lay: 1 ''If I were obliged in my practice to lo without sympathy or medicine, I | ihould prefer to do without medicine." ( rhere is an immense restorative pow- . >r in tendei sympathy; and those who )ractice medicine, as well as those who lurse the sick, need to understand this i m portant fact. * And many who neither practice 1 uedicine nor nurse the sick need to c earn the immense helpfulness there is n genuine sympathy. The cordial hn.t. men and women most need in ? ife's battle is sympathy. Speak kind, J ender, encouraging words to your J riends now. Do not keep your ala- 1 jaster i oxes, full of sympathy and ift'ection, to break over their dead bod- s es. Use tliein now, so'that their c mines may be brighter, their lives of e oil and trouble fuller of sunshine and iweetness, and their weary spirits sheered and refreshed. Kind words spoken after death do !: lot lighten the burden or soothe the 1 icliing spirit. Flowers laid upon a iottin or piletl upon a grave cast no t ragrance backward over the weary o ,vay. Who would not prefer a coffin t viihout ^ower, a funeral without a i sulogv, u burial without a tear and a t jrave without a monument, 10 a uiu i vithout the sweet helpfulness of love Ltid sympathy. ^ "If you hiivo n friend worth loving, ? .

Yes, and let him kiiinw That you love him. ere life'* evening U Tinse his brow with t>iinaet glow. c Why should good words ne'er be said p Of u friend?till he is dead ?" > a ' Sit'* or "Set." I A writer in the Christian World ? lends up this little rocket to shed ight upon the confusion existing in he minds of many very well educa- ? cd people in regard to the use of the 1 ,\vo words "sit" and "set."?a confu- a lion similar to that which seems to } ittend upon the choice of saying 1 'will" or "shall:" "A man, or womin, either, can set a hen, although a hey can not sit her; neither can they set on her, although the old hen might . dt on them by the hour if they would illow. A man can not set on the j >vash bench: but he could set the basin >n it, ami neither the basin nor tne grammarians would object.

But if he should set on the aforesaid ;ail, or sit his foot there, the grammarian as well as the dog \#nuld howl. \nd yet strange it may seem, the man night set the tail aside and then sit lown, and neither be assailed by the log nor the grammarians." Whnt Boy'* Should Do. Horace Maun gives this bit of adnee to boys: "You are made to be iind, boys, generous, magnanimous, [f there is a boy in school who has a jlub foot, don't let him know you ev r saw it. If there is a boy with ragged clothes, don't talk about clothes j in his hearing. If there is a lame boy, { issign him some part of the game l lhatdosen't require much running. t If there i* a hungry one, give him j part of your dinner. Ifthereisa dull j >ne, help him to get his lessons. If iiit'reisa. ungui uuc, uc u?/t vui :>f him; for if one boy is proud of his t talents, and another envious of them, < I here are too great wrongs,and no more f talent than before. If a larger or j stronger boy hus injured you, and is ( sorry for it, forgive him. All the ( school will show by their countenance c how much better it is than to have a i i;reat fuss. And remember who said, Love your enemies,'and 'Bless them f which curse you.'" ] Tlie National Rirri.

As I Am Known, Our imperfect knowledge of ourselves, as well as of others, is conclu- M live reason why we should hesitate to jass sentence upon others. Now I snow "in part'' only. There may be uany tilings revealed in the future which will put a new coloring into all hat concerns me. Then I shall know 'even as I am known." That will be I'vastly different knowledge of my- -Js self from that whi<5h I now have?per- :?a japs so difierent that this present self svill not be recognized. A very ;f|| jraphic dtscriptiou of the way we ;'.2 'are known" is given in the one nun- ' Ired and thirty-ninth Psalm : "O Lord, thou hast searched me, and mown mo. Thou knowest my down : jy littingand mine up-rising, thou unierstamlest my thought afar off. Thou "|f sorapassest my path and my lying iown, and art acquainted with all my vays. For there is not a word in my ^ ongue, but lo, 0 Lord, thou knowest .'ia t altogether. Thine eyes did see my . >|| mbstanoe, yet being unperfect; ana n thy book all my members were ' vritten, which in continuance wero ashioued, when as yet there was none >f them." God's knowledge of us involves not , inly all that which lies between the xadle and the grave, but the influ- ;i4 nces that have touched us in all our elationships since we were born; and . nore than that, it takes in our antecelents, our heredity?all that affected ife or character before we came into he world. No wonder the psalmist :'r$ aid : "Such knowledge is too wonderul for me : I cannot attain unto it." Jut by and by I shall know even as I .m known.

We had been camping out a long irae, gold-washiug, and had recently >$& >een much annoyed by a tribe of Inlians in the neighborhood, whereup>n the party held a council and deter- :? nined togo by night and exterminate he whole of them. Tbey had quite concluded upon his, when a fine stalwart mail, the )oast of the party, who never turned lis back at any thing, stood up in the nidst of them, and with his finger on lis rifle, enquired if that wa8 their deermination. Being informed that it vas: "Then," said he, "I have to tell rou I was born and raised a 'Friend/ md I can be no party to such wicksdness!" Whereupon the narrator limself jumped up, exclaiming: "And [ was raised a 'Friend' too!" They shook hands upon it in the liidstof that circle of wild and lawess men, and by their joint protest tnd determination prevented the murlerous project from being execu:ed.

The whole story shows the Talue and power of individual protest w igainst evil. A Touching Incident, * Yesterday morning a knock was leard at the big door of the Fulton sountyjail. Jailor Miller opened the loor and a ragged man came in. L'here was a haggard look on the felow's face. It was Jim Wesson, the noonshiner, who escaped from the ?u!ton county jail a week ago, to go lome to see his sick baby. "I'm sorry, Mr. Miller," he said in a >rokeu voice. "I hope you and Cap'u borrow dou't care, but I heard the >aby?" He stopped a moment until his lip [uit quivering so, and went >n: "I heard the baby was sick, and I bought about wife watchin' of it at lome, and I just had to go. I was orry, an' I wrote you I'd come back. Yn'I done it. They done buried the >aby, an' I hope you ain't mad." Capt. Miller did not?could not uter a word of reproach. "I'm glad 'ou have come back, Jim," he said.? Vtlanta Loustituuon. \ Suggestions of Brevity* It is proper to mention the death of >ur friends. To do this in detail is of nodern invention. When Enoch * mssed out, his obituary was short but :omfbrting, suggestive and instructive. 'He walked with God, and was not, or God took him." This seemed to be the rule for writng obituaries among the early Methuiists. Even the laborious, self-sac ificing ministers, who died, had but ittle said about them. Going back, >nly.is far as the conference 1784, when the question was asked "who iave died this year ?" This memoir was the answer: "Caleb U. Pedecord, a man of sorrows, and like his Master, acquainted with grief, but a dead man to the . world, and much devoted to God." At the conference held in 1786, the answer to the same question was "James Thomas, a pious young man, of good ojifts, useful and acceptable, blameless in his life, and much resigned iu his death." These are beautiful models?so sim pie, and yet so expiessive. Ex. ' -A ... : ', * L.'i'l" i.?. A J;
