Heading is companionship, ('duration, culture. It upbuilds and furnishes and beaut)ties the soul. It develops confidence,enriche* conversation, and cultivates grace. The knowledge of good books "isthe tood of youth, the ^ delighto*'age, the <irnameut of pros|ierity, the comfort of adversity." Ii is an open door to the best society, a stepping stone to the higest fame, a crown of honor that outshines the sun. These things being true, it is one of life's necessities that the young should read good books and not weary therein. The following suggestions will help to profit in reading : 1. Plan your reading. Select the books to be read far in advance. Prefer books that are old enough and good enough to be classical, attractive if possible, pure always. Hooks with beards are better than bearddless books. 2. Varv your reading. Follow ro m&nce with history, history with biojrraphy, travel, art, science, philosophy religion. Variety givety gives breadth and keeps up interest. S. Limit your reading. Know a few hooks well rather than many books indifferently. Intensive is better than extensive reading. Hig fish swim in deep water. 4. Fix your reading. To this end read carefully, weigh thoughts, talk them over to yourself and with other*, try to remember them. "Thinking makes what we read ours." 5. Time your readings. Have a book-hour each day if possi le. Especially. however, utilize fragments of time for a few pages of reading. Little and often masters the largest volumes. 6. Knrich your reading. This do by looking up all allusion to history, poetry, art, mythology, persons, places etc. 7. Preserve your reading. Own, it possible, every book you read ; mark choce passages in them; make comarisons of them ; often commune with them. These seven thiwrs remember name ly. plan, vary, limit, fix, time, enrich, and preserve your reading, and thus reading will be one of the most profitable exercises of your life.?Epworth Herald. From the Canada Presbyterian. The Yotuitf Mhii'm Kin Found Out. By liev. J. A. 11. Dickson, J5. D. Moses told the elders of the tribe of Reuben and (jud, when they were entering into covenant, on condition of possessing O'ilead and the adjacent territory, to go before the host armed for war to bring their brethren into their land?that if they failed to do m>, to be sure that their sins would find th-m out. Tnis is a truth of universal application. As a dark spot on a white sheet draws the eve, so a sin committed commands the attention of Uod. It inattei's not how it has been done, there it is and its punishment will lbl low without tail. "Be sure your sin will find you out." Num. xxxii. 23. It may be done alone, as in the case of Cain. Gen. iv. 10. It may be done secretly, as in the case of Moses, Exod. ii. 14. Jt may be done cunningly, as in the case of David, 2Sam. xii. It may be done in conceit, as in tlie i case of Joseph's biethren, CSeii. xliv. 16. it may be done piously, as in the * case of ('orao, Datijan, and Abiram, Num. xvi. It may be done in fellowship, as in the case of Judas, Matt, xxvii". 4. it may be done in greediness, as iy the case of Achan, Josh. vii. 28.

"It shall be well with them that feur Cod, which fear before him: but it shall not be well with the wicked." Eecl. viii. 1 J, 13. Educating n Child. All ancient physician when asked as to the time when a child's education should commence replied, "begin twenty years before it is born by train. ing the mother." The witty Frenchman said, "The way to civilize a man is to begin by civilizing his grandmother." 15ut tlie question arises, whether it might not a No be well to la-gin this system of education by training the father and the grandfather of the child, and then let the child l>e trained under their faithful care. A child left to himself brings shame both to Ids father and his mother. The way men go to ruin may be stated in a word "All we as sheep have gone astray. We have turned every mail to his own way." This is enough to ruin any one, for when a man has "his own way," ii is usually the worst way ne can nave, viiiiwrt-n inherit evil passions and dispositions. Born with unregulated impulses they "go astray from the womb, speaking lies;" and if they are to be useful here or happy hereafter they need to be traineu, brought up, educated, guided and transformed by the renewing of their minds. To secure successful training of children there should be example, instruction restraint and prayer. Said the Lord of Abraham, "1 know him that he will command his houseIihI^ after him.M Eli advised his st?n; Abraham commanded his : and the merits of the two methods were manliest in the outcome. In Abraham and his seed all the earth have been blessed while the sons of Kli made themselves vile and he restrained the :i not, until Jiis family was blotted out beneath tht curse af God. As parents, we are t< train our children in the right way and one of the surest methods of leading children in the right way is foi - I*. u>oib in tlmt vviiu themselve.' jUliniir \w mum in uiiiv .. and lead their families with them. ? m - No man has a right to do as lie pleas es, unless he pleases to do right.

A boy went to live with a man who was accounted a hard master. He never kept his buy Sj?'lhey ran away, or Have notice they meant to quit: so he was half his time without or in search of a boy. The work was not very hard, opening and sweeping out the shop, chopping wood, going errands, and helping round. At last Sam Fisher went to live with him. "Sam's a good boy," said his mother. "I should like to see a hoy nowadays that had a spark of goodness in him," growled the new master. It is always bad to begin with a man who has no confidence in you, because, do your l?est, you are likely to have litlirtle credit for it. However, Sam thouirhi he would trv. The wages were good and his mother wanted him to go. Sam had been there but three days before, in sawing a cross-grained stick ?.f wood, he broke the saw. He was a little frightened. He knew he was careful, and he knew he was a pretty good sawyer, too, for a boy of his age; nevertheless, the saw broke in his hands. "Mr. Jones will thrash you for it," said another boy who was in the wood house with him. "Why. of course I didn't mean it, and acckients will happen to the best of folkes," said Sam, looking with a very sorrowful air on the broken saw. "Mr. .Jones never makes allowances," said the other boy. "I never ' saw anything like him, That Bill might have stayed, only he jumped into a lien's nest and broke her eggs. He daren't tell of it; but Mr. Jones kept suspecting, and suspecting, and suspecting, aud laid everything out of the way to Bill, whether Bill was to blame or not, till Bill couldn't stand it, and wouldn't.' "Did he tell Mr. Jones about the eggs?" asked San). "No," said the boy, "he was afraid, Mr. Jones lias* trot such a temper." "i i inn k lie u nave oeuer oivucu uji at once," said Sam. "I suspect you'll find it better to preach than to practice," said the boy. "I'd run away before I'd tell him." And he soon turned on his heel, and left poor Sam alone with his broken saw. The poor boy did not feel very comfortable .or happy. He shut up the woodhouse, walked out in the garden, ai d went up to his little chamber un-l tier the eaves. Me wished he could tell > .Mrs. Jones, huts-he wasn't sociable. When Mr. Jones came into the house, j the boy heard him. He got up, crepti downstairs, and met Mr. Jones in the I kitchen. "Sir," said Sam I broke yourj saw, and i thought I'd come and tell you before you saw it in the moruing. "What did you get up to tell me for?" asked Mr. Jones.- "I should think moruing would be time enough to tell of your carelessness." "Jtecause," said Sam, "I was afraid, if I put it oft', I might be tempted to lie about it. I am sorry I broke it but, I tried to be careful." Mr. Jones looked at the boy from head to foot, then, stretching out liis hand, "There Sam," he said heartily, "give me yourjhand, shake hands. I'll trust you, Sam. Thai's right, that's right. Go to bed, boy. Never fear, j r>??? nliwl tho ?nvv lirnkp1 it, shows tile I mettle's in you. God to bed." Mr. Jones was fairly won. Never were better friends after thattbau Sam and he. Sam thinks justice had not been done Mr. Jones. If the boys had treated him honestly .'and "above board," he would have been a good man to deal with. It was their conduct which soured and made him suspi* cious. I do notknow how that is I only know thai Sam Fisher finds in Mr. Jones a kind master and a faithful friend.?Scotch Tract. Presently Never say you will do presently vfbat your reason or your conscience tells you shouid be done now. No man ever sbaned bis own destinv or the destinies of-others wisely and well who dealt much in presentlies. Look at rature. She never postpones. When the time arrives for the buds to open, they open; for the leaves to full, they fall. Look upward. The shining 'worlds never put oft' their settings. The comets even, erratic as they are, keep their appointments: and eclipses are always punctual to the minute. There are no delays in any of the movements of the universe which have been predetermined by the absolute fiat of the Creator. Procrastination amoug the stars might involve the destruction of innumerable systems: procrastination in the operations of nature on this earth might result in famine, pestilence and the blotting out of the human race. Man, however, being a free agent, can postpone the performance of his duty ; and he does so too frequently to his own destruction. The drafts drawn by Indolence upon the Future are pretty sure to be dishonored. Make Now your banker. Do not say you will economize presently, for presently you may be bankrupt. JJegin at once. Now is the time. Keah present sacrifice makes future ones easier. The selfish man's weakness, his selfishness, cannot he overcome by him if he does not fight it at once. Do not think that you will repent and make atonement presently, for presently you may be judged. Bear in mind the very important fact, taught alike by the history of . every nation, all rulers and private individuals, that, in at least three cases . out of five, presently is too late.?Selected.

I'iiiuori (<m1 l)('KTfos. Singular ide;is about American decrees were entertained l?y some of our friends who came to ihe Ecumenical Council. The main thing which they hoped for,' in two or three instances, was that they mignt return in possession of a doctorate of some kind, and letters were sent to this office and elsewhere magnifying the qualifications of divers persons for such honors. We trust that no foreigner whose qualifications are not so high as to command respect for the decree will receive one from American Methodist colleges. Whatever is carelessly done at home, let the honor of our country, as well as of our Denomination, be protected by conferring no degrees up on resiuenis 01 oilier countries, wnere degrees are seldom conferred unless earned, except when and where public sentiment will unquestionably approve the act. A doctor of laws in this country, of undoubted attainments, was one of th? speakers at a college Commencement. Another doctor of laws, who probably could uot give a philosophical definition of law, followed the first in a speech wrong in statements of facts, confined in ideas, erroneous in grammar, incorrect in pronunciation, barbarous in elocution, and ridiculous as a whole. The third speaker began by a satire on those remarkable letters, "L L. D.," which he said carried opposite meanings, any suggested that there ought to be some way of using a part of the title, illustrating nis remarks by a refereuce to Douglas Jerrold, who knew a person whom he disliked who had a degree in two letters, A. 8., for which he expressed his contempt bv saying that "it was very strange that a man would print only two thirds of his name!" Trust III in. Trust God in affliction. It is the happiest state of mind to be in. Say with Job. "Thouch he slav me. vet will I trust in him." Trust him in poverty. Some of us must be poor forever. STo amount of effort or ingunuity can make us rich. Rut God loves the trusting poor. Wealth is often a snare. Poverty is a great inconvenience, but it may prove a blessing to many. Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth. Trust him in weakness. He is strong. He can impart his strength to you. The trusting soul commands the arm that controls the world. Trust him in loneliness. None that trust in him shall be desolate, lietter than a thousand patrons and a thousand friends is the presence of God in the lonely hour. Trust him in religious effort. In revivals, in personal appeals to the unsaved, in all your godly undertakings, trust in God. He alone* can make potent your faltering speech. Let every breath be a prayer of trust. Trust him always. He is with you. Whisper to him. Talk with him as with a friend. Cultivate the habi t of momentarily trusting your life, talents, posessions, influence, conversation, all to him and in him. No attitude or experience is more graceful or blissful than that of trust.?Selected. Killing Itntterflieft. Ktonninir nf the seashore a few davs , ?t'l o V since, we saw a number of interesting children gathering butterflies, grasshoppers, and other varieties of insects, and fastening them with pins to the side of the hotel, where the poor creatures were writhing and struggling to escape. It was not the fault of the children. They were very young, and knew no better. They did not once dream of the suffering endured by these insects, and, on being told of it, all assented to their being at once killed, and cheerfully stopped further pursuit of tnem. But it was your fault, fathers and mothers of those children, and one for which God holds you accountable. If you neglect your duties to your children in that period of life when the moulding of their characters is in your hands, and they grow up more and more merciless, until in your old age you reap the harvest you nave sown, you have no one to blame but yourselves.?George T. Angell "A soft answer turneth away wrath ; but grievous worus sur up anger. So says the wise and inspired proverb. The truth of this statement has been verified in the experience of tens of thousands who have been wise enough to try it. It is of universal application. It holds good in the family, among neighbors, in the church, and between nations. Auger stirred up leads to strife and litigation, to the alienation of good friends and neighbors, to family feuds, to neighborhood feuds, to war and bloodshed, to wretchedness, ruin, and desolation. To avoid grievous words, we must set a guard upon our ni>s, anu lane unic u> rellect before we speak, ami if an angry word conies up and tries to get out and sting somebody, as it is likely to do under provocation, shut the door of your lips upon him and examine carefully, and see whether he is a peacemaker or a mischief-maker before you let him out. For once he is out lie passes beyond your control.?C. A. and M. 1'. The woman who is always well and neat ly dressed is able to exercise a greater influence for good than one who is the reverse. The well-dressed woman is attractive to the eye, and the eye is one of the main avenues to the heart. Other th'Lgs being equal, her influence is more potent tliau her neighbor's, whose reputation of dressing "just as it happens" at home, in some undetinable way, casts a shade over whatever virtue she may posess.

The expense of production is the interest on money invested, the wear, tear, and deterioration of lands, buildings, tools and machinery, insurance and the setting aside of a reserve fund to meet emergencies, Iossgh from bad debts, possible increase in cost of material, decrease in price of product and other contingent expenses.

This rule will stop all strikes and bloodshed. The laborers would then have a direct interest in the business and do their best to make their profits in which they are to share as large' as possible. Besides they would take better care of the tools and machinery used, realizing that it was to their real and best interest to protect", conserve and foster the entire interests of the establishment. Then the only great strike that wili be necessary will be for capital and labor to rise up together and strike the saloon. In one of the towns of Illinois, a banker put his private mark on the money he paid out on Saturday night to the wage-workers of the town who patronized his bank, and on Monday night, of the $700 paid cut and ma rked privately, over $300 had come back to him from the saloons of that town! Art of "Putting Things." ?In describing an audience not very large, one of our contemporaries speaks or "nan a thousand attendeants." This reminds us of a young gentleman who was boasting of the amount of money his brother had made in Wall Street speculation in one year; it was a "tenth of a million" of dollars, with the emphasis strongly on the million, and made a profound impression. Those who are buying goods, especially where fancy prices are tusked, as works of art, unimproved real estate, peculiar schemes of life insurance, books sold by subscription to be delivered in monthly parts, sewing machines and other things on the installment plan, and horses, will do well to consider each statement made by the seller. They may be sure that he makes a study of the art of putting things. The purchaser also from the time of Solomon has been au adept in thin: "It is naught, saith the buyer; but when he is gone his way then he boasteth." St. Louis Christian Advocate To think closely requires concentration of mental energy and fixedness of attention. It is this as much, or more than auything else, that makes the difference between minds. One can take a thought and hold it steadily before the mind until it has been viewed in all its aspects and relations. Another, owing perhaps to a more rap- ' id train of perceptions passing through the mind and a lack of fixedness of attention, views it hastily on one side only and passes on ic is neecuess 10 say there will be a great difference as to the value of the decisions of two such persons. Concentration of mental enery and fixedness of attention are ' indispensable to intellectual attaiu. ments. 1 Separation separates, and separation unites. Two who are not one find themselves so by living apart; two who are one realise that they are so by attempting to live apart. Two persons who are on friendly terms enjoy, ably when they are together, find, as they tiro away from each other, that they can get on very well all by them, selves. Two persons who are real friends find in their absence from each other that the bond of their union is all the stronger for their enforced separation. .Separation is a test of union as it is also a test of one's power to live alone. ' What comfort there is in the thougui that, although (?od could not depend on us, we can always depend on him, and that, although He could always tret on without us. He is willing to make tise of us when w<j fire ready to stand in His strength, and tnat he does not dispair of us, even when we dispair o: Him."

Their theory is about in these words: No grass, no cattle; no meat, no cattle, no manure; no manure, 110 grain; no grain, no bread; no money, no prosperity on the farm* With abundance of grass for both pasturage in summer and hay iu winter, the question of cattle and meat is an easy one. In fact the farmer who thrives by his grass has the easiest known method of living, the grasses inquiring less trouble ami less culture than any other farm product.
