In a B<>9ton boarding house roomed sixteen clerks, honest and well dis- er I posed, and belonging to good families, at I All of them were of the age when the e\ | buy, just merging into manhood, gen- su j erally makes decisions as to his conduct ar ! that result in final good or evil. w Three of the young men, who oc- gc cupiedoneof the rooms together, were cl recent acquaintances, and their first Sunday morning in the house brought pE ja trial of moral courage which is inter- h? esung to reiate. cu The hour9 betweeu breakfast and fo church time must be whiled away hi somehow, and two of the room-mates vi busied themselves with miscellaneous fai reading. w The third felt a desire to take out sv his Bible and read it, as he had been pr tuugbt to do at home. Fearing ridi- qi cule, he hesitated a good '.vhile, but conscience presently impelled him to hs go to his trunk and lift the lid. Cow- m ardice suggested that it would look us "sanctimonious" to be seen reading wi the Bible. He shut the lid down and Ui walked away. pe After nearly half an hour of strug- a < gle, conscience, triumphed again. He rose and went to the trunk a second CI time. Again his courage failed him. As he was turning away one of his U] companions called ont: "YVhat's the matter, Ike? You're P as uneasy as a weather cock." Ci Ike lauehed, and told the truth like ; a man. To his surprise both the others Ja confessed that they had the same strug- Sti gle and defeat. Each thought that he ought to read his Bible, but was afraid Po to be seen by the rest. Mi The next minute all three had their Co Bibles in their hands, and read them together during the next half hour. Hi They agreed to do this every Sunday. Sw The ice was broken. lac The next Sabbath morning, while St< they sat quietly reading, two of the 2 clerks from another room came.in. Br "Hullo!" they exclaimed. 'What Ca is this, a conventicle?" tre The three Bible readers frankly told fc of their agreement. The visitors con- Sw fessed that only cowardice had kept ] them, too, from the same duty. They j promised to begin at once, and they did so. The example spread, till each of the sixteen clerks in the house spent his .Sunday mornings reading the Bible. Every one of these youths is to-day a useful man. We cannot, of course, *11' say that the mere reading of the Bible fet on those Sabbath mornings made these 1Dt men what they are. We can say, P9' however, that the principles of the Wl( Bible must Have influenced their iives "st for good, and the associations which, "0I with such a habit, they would nat> nel urally seek must necessarily have been rea honorable and elevating, and have 'ee tended to their success in life. One Pal of them, who afterward became arnln- *"efl ister. related the facts we have given, kn One boy's courage to do right may tni determine not only his own future the well being, but that of many others SU1 besides.?Youth's Companion. ^e5 Hasty Judgement. cot It is well to suspend judgement in by many cases until we have had time to 801 review circumstances and trace mo- 361 tives. Especially where children are concerned should we be very careful not to confuse their sense of right and to wrong by acting with injustice, scold- "u iug orceusuring them for mistakes due "I16 to their inexperience, and, perhaps, |,.r< inflicting punishment when none was "u deserved. A httle child once ran 0Ui nearly a mile from her own home to 'ra that of a friend, carrying an umbrella to her mother, whom she supposed to P?' be there. Great gusts of wind arose lfl( and streams of rain fell and drenched t1" the little one before she arrived at her vei destination, wet, breathless, and quite a^< unable to explain why she had come, l,ai when met by curious eyes and amaz- exl ed questions. The mother had seen the impending storm and gone home, and the result of the whole proceeding was for this (rue story took place in sterner days than ours that the ?child was shut up for many hours of the [ 1 next day to ihink over the fault of cul equivocation. j ' A mother whose temper is impulsive Alt should never trust her first hasty judg-1 So ment in the management of her little j i ones. ] cte In the larger affairs of the neighbor-1 4 hojd and of society the prudent person cot refuses to judge hastily. He gives the ! :i benefit of the doubt wherever andjgi\ whenever and to whomsoever he can. | 4 People have a right to ask that before j gai they are weighed in the balances and soli found wanting their cases shall bej A looked at from all sides and from the noi most favorable point of view. It is! 4 not well to assume that blushes ami j no down-dropped eyes always indicate: guilt. Innocence falsely accused isja ? often ashamed to look its accuser iu the 1 face. Judge not, that ye be not judged set was said by the purest lips that ever t spoke on earth. no The man or woman whose habit is to indulge in snap judgments of any yo kind is necessarily narrow and unde- Jei veloped.?Harper's Bazar. The Hiimnii Eye. pr| The last 100 years have increased ve the need and capacity for work upon ele small objects near at hand. One of tiv the questions occuring to the mind is, ces Do these different aud increased de- ov mands bring increased facility and ca- fat pacity to the human eye?

The eye of the patriarch ch Job was constituted at birth and went th through life to old age very much kr such an optical instrument as ch that of the English squire who de- sit votes himself to an outdoor life in the di; Eighteenth or Nineteenth century; w< but Job had no printed books to be- cb guile the tedium and pain of his seat be iu the sand and ashe*. wi The examination of the mummies in on the Egyptian mausoleums showa that cli there has been no change in the ana-1 at tomical conformation of the human ear in 4,000 years, and there is no evidence that there has been any in lhatof the human eye; but the tlilli- ca culty of preserving the eyes for exami- fo nation centuries after it has ceased to ia ee prevents us front proving this.

Seek happiness for yourself and you will lose it, hut seek it for others and you will find it. "He that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love i- God whom he hath not seen?" f "If ye forgive not men their tres 11 passes, neither will your Father fore give your trespasses." i- If there is any place on earth that should be guarded against foolishness, >- and jesting, it is the pulpit.

But baby's habits have been formed, young as it is, and it has to unlearn, which is a very hard process for grown people, ,s who see the reason for it, but harder ' for a little, unreasoning being, who t' only understands that it is being smiled at and loved, or frowned upon and chilled, without kuowing why.
