It is not a want of knowledge that afflicts the world, but a want of the full use of what knowledge it has. No one knows so little that be canuotf have a certian measure of skill in the use of what he does know. But we suffer from a strange hesitation to acquire that skill which is within reach of us. If every teacher and pupil should set himself resolutely at first, says, Thring, "to do with skill what is already known,' a new creation of thought-work would have begun, a new mind would be produced into the world. Skill, or want of skill, are with the worker always, in things known or not known equally ; but ignorance is outside him, and may do ; him no barm." So, too, we profess to know God's wisdom, power, and love; we claim to have faith in him, but we do not use this knowledge, this faith, in practice. We are unskilled believers, and are correspondingly unfaithful servants of our Master.?S. S. Times. Rolhnchlld's Rule*. Shun liquors. Dare to go forward. Never be discouraged. Be polite to everybody.

Carefully examine into every detail of your business. Woman Reforming a Man.?It is my belief that a man who has not the self respect to Bave himself will not respect any woman enough to be saved by her. I do not think any man should marry until he is thirty, and if he has not reformed at that age it is a very unsafe experiment for any woman to attempt to reform him. His moral vision is very limited if he has not discovered by that time that there is nothing in dissipation but degradation and death. ? GO 2 oj M kl ? g M 5 S CM ~ m * n.

Aix-la-Chappelle, the woods of Virginia aheltpred the youthful George Washington, who had been born by the side of the Potomac, beneath the roof of a Westmoreland planter, and whose lot almost from infancy had been that of an orphan. No academy had welcomed him to Ita ohoilsti nn mllpop prnwn him with its honors; to read, to write, to cypher, these had been his degrees in knowledge. And'now, at sixteen years of age, in quest of an honest mainten* an ce encountering the severest toil; cheered onward by being able to write to a schoolboy friend, "Dear Richard, a doubloon is my constant gain every day, and sometimessix pistoles ;" himself his own cook, having no spit but a forked stick, no plate buta large chip;" roaming over spurs of the Alleghanies, and along the banks of the Shenandoah ; alive to nature aud sometimes "spending the best of the day in admiring the trees and richness of the land ;" among skin-clad savages with their scalps and rattles, or uncouth emigrants "that would never ppeak English rarely sleeping in a bed ; holding a bearskin a splendid couch ; * -? - * - if ?i?- iL. gmu Oi a resuug-piace uir lue uigui upon a little bay, straw, or fodder, and often camping in the forests, where the place nearest the fire was a happy luxury;?this stripling surveyor in the woods, with no companion but his unlettered associates, and no implements of science but his compass and chain, contrasted strangely with the imperial magnificence of the congress of Aixla-Chapelle. And yet God had selected, not Kaunity nor Newcastle, not a monarch of the house of Hapst urg nor of Hanover, but the Virgiuia stripling, to give an impulse to human affairs : and as far as events can depend on an individual, had placed the rights and !the destinies of countless millions in the keeping of the widow's son." George Bancroft. It is said that 1,500,000 copies of Geo. W. Peck's "Bad boy" has been sold. Jt will be fortunate If tbe influence of Peck's "Bad Boy" has not made about 6,000,000 bad boys. What Canada thistles are to agriculture, this class of literature is to moral improvement. This "Bad Boy" has been dramatized and is attracting large cro^s. Last spring this play was exhibited in Cleveland. I went around to the Cleveland Theater, on St. Clair street, on Saturday afternoon to see who went to see and hear "Peck's Bad Boy.'' The crowd was so large that it required two policeman to keep the people in line as they passed the box to buy tickets. I said to one of the policeman, "This must be a wonderful bad boy to bring so many people out to see him." He replied, "It has been this way every day during the week." There were at least 3,000 people there and of this number not less than 1,800 were boys. Without a doubt the greater number of these will be imitating the wicked pranks of "Peck's Bad Boy" during the remainder of their boy life ; and it will be the first step ou the way to ruin for many of them. Silent Voices. We are often enraptured by the elo quence of speech, and thrilled bv the power of music. We mirgle in the throng and commotion of human life. But there are sweeter joys and higher ninoonruo tlmn thoao Kilpnne has a picaaut\.o ? -WW - ? ? ? tongue more potent than the jargon of human voices. Go into the sick room, where resigned and serene the Christian lies awaiting the summons to come up home; the eye, the expressive silence tell an eloquent story where 110 word is uttered. We saw a frail boy who had never walked a step, whom the people pitied and said, "poor fellow." But he wa<* always cheerful aud never complained at his lot, while others, who said he had a hard life wheeling about the room, worried aud fretted over many things. And so bis sweet and gentle life was an eloquent speech which no words can utter. Go, then, to the graves, where loved ones sleep. Some of them have long 1 i? -w lnnni ??f? of A rtQO Q rwi DtUIi IJflC. 1 UC JCUUIllg Otuuvo wuu touches of time tell the story. But how we recall their unselfishness, their devotion, in the silence they are talking to us, though uo words fall on our ears. How ambition and passion are rebuked as we stand by the graves of our dear dead, where dried leaves are rustling, to remind us of our short stay, and where their silent voices, lov-| ing, pathetic, tender, are calling us away to the better and eternal life. I.oikI Con vernation in I'nblio. While aloud tone of voice is very well if the speaker is addressing a public audience, it is iu poor taste whlie talking to a companion in a street car. When a man conversing with a friend in a public place speaks loud enouirh to be heard by a dozen others, he not only informs others of what he is talkiug about, but he makes public the fact (but he is lacking in personal modesty, and is bring private matters into offensive prominence. It makes the matter worse if the speaker be a woman. There is a time to speak low ; it behoves us all to regard the difference in times. Iu water in which decaying vegetables have been infused the microscope discovers little animals so minute that 10,000 of them would not. exceed the bulk of a grain of mustard. Yet these creatures are supplied with organs as complicated as those of a whale. The man who does not care a fig whether the Bible is used in the public schools or not, hardly car-s two figs whether it is used in hisown home or not. American Pineapples. r According to a recent article in the] . Youth'H Companion, a group of five small keys lying off the extreme 1 southern point of Florida is now the principal pineapple producing district! i of the world. Less than seven hundred acres altogether are here tlevoted J to the cultivation of this fruit, but i from this area 4,500,000 pine-apples have been shipped to New York in a j single year. The plant is propagated E fn/xivi oiinlrr\fci ah nit na nn/1 1 A fWW) VY1 Qtl 1 Jiuui oubivcio til sup, aim awjxjw muj i be planted to th$ acre, two thirds of which will bear fruit, so that if a dollar a dozen could be realized, the crop would be a lucrative one. The most common variety is the iScarlet or Spanish, the one ordinarily seen in the North, on account of its good shipping qualities. Next in abundance is the Hugarloaf, a sweeter fruit, but more delicate, and, therefore more difficult to handle. Egyptian Queen, a large juicy fruit, is harder still to trausport, and best of all is the Puerto Rico, a fruit weighing ten pounds, but so mellow that it is rareiy seen more than two hundred miles from the place where it is grown. A field of pineapples, raiseJ from slips, will bear for five years, though after the second year the yield steadily decreases. A field planted with suckers only yields for two years. After this the land seems exhaused, and its strength must be renewed with fertilizers, and by nrnivinn nUiar nrnno orhlla nlknlfllmna ! 0tVTTlU6 V.VJ/B, ? of pineapples are made in another t field. The fruit which is allowed to I ripen in the field is altogether superior , in melting qaulity, rich flavor and ( wholesomeness to the hard, sour and j indigestible specimens which must be ' picked while they are solid and green, so that they can endure a journey to * Northern cities. J The SewinK MaeblDe Needle. 8 Elias Howe almost beggard himself before he discovered where the eye of { the needle of the sewing machine should be located. It is probable that i there are very few persons who know r how it came about. His original idea g was to follow the model of the ordinary ueedle, and have the eye at the heel. It never occured to him that it should ba placed near the point, and , he might have failed altogether if he had not dreamed he was buildiug a 1 sewiug machine for a savage king in a j strange country. Just as in his actual waking experience, he was perplexed 1 about the needle's eye. He thought /?o*ta V*i m fiuonf linn ru I IUC ZVllJg gave U1UJ k/T VlllJ IWU t UWUJ O a to complete the machine and make it , sew. If not finished in that time, 1 death was to be the punishment. Howe worked and worked, 8nd puzzled and puzzled, and finally gave it up. Then he thought he was taken J out to be executed. He noticed that the warriors carried spears that were pierced near the bead. Instantly I came the solution of the difficulty, and ^ while the inventor was begging for time he awoke. It was 4 o'clock in the morning. He jumped out of bed, J ran to his workshop, and by 9 a needle with an eye at the point had been rudely' modeled. After that it was easy. That is the true story of an important incident in the invention of the sewing machine. "Love h? Brethren?Be Coart?oai." r We occasionally meet with persons ?really good people, too, they are? who seem to forget that courtesy is a Christian grace. St. Paul, in writing to Timothy the young preacher, told him that the '"servant of the Lord must be gentle to allthat is, he must be a gentleman. Could anyone conceive of the Lord Jesus, our perfect nvotnnla in all ralotinnu nf life hpincr " [ CAUUipiV IU Utl 1V?M14WUW w. ...?, ? ~ - ? 0 other than thoughtful of the feelings g and the comfort of others, even in the smallest matters? If we are to show forth His praises or virtues, we must see that we abound in this grace also. It is a grace which can be cultivated, li and ought to be. There is a fine description of Christianjcourtesy given by D St. Paul in the thirteenth chapter of first Corinthians. Its basis is the sweet grace of charity which suffereth long and is kind, and doth not behave itself unseemly. Manners spring from the heart. True gf>od breeding is not n merely the conventional externals of polite speech or behavior ; one may \ not know all the rules of society, and yet be a perfect gentleman or a true F gentlewoman. Pleasnnt manners are a E gieat help t<? personal usefulness, and lor this reason alone a Christian should heed the injunction to "be courteous." v It is the true spirit of Jesus. St. Paul Hay*: "I beseech you by the gentle- t ne.NS of Christ." If we live with Je ?... ii i r?^ tt: ?AkaAAn. z SUH, we Mimn icai ii num auu iuuc gentle and kind in speech and behavior. $ It is an inconsistency for a Christian to he anything else than a true gentle- N man or a real lady. For Girls Who Don't Enjoy Reading The Bible.?Read the 24 chapter of Genesis. Read the 1st chapter of Peter. Read the 4th and 5th chapters of Esther. Read the 31st chapter of Proverbs, I beginning at the 10th verse. Read the first part of the 12th chap- ? terof John. Read the 29th chapter of the same n Gospel. ti Read the latter part of the 9thchap- >< ter of Acts. o Read the 13th chapter of First Cor- a infbians, u Will religion and politics mix? ? If not, which is at fault? ? e: It is no new experiment to trust our ^ lives in the hands of Christ. Men nat- w urally hesitate to travel unfrequented K roads. But countless numbers have ^ trusted in Jesus and traveled on the w narrow way to the eternal city of God. c There is that mighty multitude gone ^ before, whom no man can number, of "all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues," who have heard the call of the Son of God, and have washed their robes and made them white. Are you afraid to follow after? There J? is the glorious company of the apostles, c the army of martyrs, the saved of all u nations. There never would have been a '? higher oriticism if somebody had not p got the notion into his head that it would be easier to make a better Bible than to live up to the old one.
