"Ob papa!" It was Master Fred's voice. It was not the cry of alarm or dis-i tress, but one of intense surprise. Mr.! Darrell descended the *teps which led I into the cellar, aud saw his son star-! ing at a long, frail, wuitish-yellowj vine that had clambered across the! door. "What is it, papa?" asked Fred, 'and where did it come from ?" "We'll soon see,'" replied the father. He lit a match, and followed the vine to a dark corner; and Fred saw that it bad grown out of a half decayed potato. "Why, that's queer, isn't it?" he asfced. * "It is not unusual," said his father ; "the vine simply obeyed a law of its nature. In what direction does it creep?" "Towards the cellar window," Fred said, after a moment's hesitation. "Attracted by what ?" asked his father, "and to And what?" "Sunshine, I guess," was Fred's answer. "Yes, my son. And see how eagerly it has sought the light ! The fire place was in its way, and it crept around it ; the vinegar barrel was in its way, and it crept over it. Now let us examine the end of the vine." As he spoke, he led the way to the window. "See !" he said. "It has put out leaves at the point ; and the ends of the leaves are tiuted with a delicate green, a tint and vigor which it get9 from the sunlight, which will grow greener and stronger every day. If you turn the vine away from the window, and come and look at it tomorrow, you will find that it has set out for the light again." "Would it ?" asked Fred much surprised. "Yes, my boy; I have tried the experiment. What does the plant seem to mnst "liight," replied Fred. "And what shall we learn from that?" Fred thought for a moment. "That the plant needs light in order to live," he said ; and ''that we need sunshine as well as the plants." "But there is a spiritual significance," his father gravely remarked. A thoughtful look came into Fred's face. "I know what you mean, papa," he said, "our hearts and souls need light." "Or we will not grow." added his father." Pride or Wealth. Roy's father was rich, and Roy had 4.j r? u never wauieu iui au^unug. xjic ?a^i a generous little fellow, but bis mother saw a growing disposition to care for things that money gives, and to snub his playmates who had little. , One morning in spring they were by the sea. The sun was pleasant as it fell on rugs and furs that kept all chill away. Iioy was standing, the salt breeze tossing his curls, when a newsboy, turning the corner quickly, stumbled against him. The sharp cry of "Philadelphia and New York papers !" stopped suddenly, i while the boys looked at each other. The newsboy had on his lips an "Excuse me;" but seeing Roy's scornful look, he tossed his head, and went on calling : "Morning papers !" 11..o|| ?V,at I j[vuv, r>aiu uio uuutuvi, uun vtiui boy; I waut a paper.,, "Mother," exclaimed Roy, "he just ran into me !:' "I know, and I wont you to call him." Roy's ill temper had almost gone ; , so he ran, calling, "A paper !" When the newsboy saw Roy, the ugly look left his face. "Sorry that J knocked you," he said. "0, that's nothing," said Roy, loftily. But they were friendly. "My dear," said Roy's mother, afterwards, "is it your goodness that gives < you nice clothes, while another has patches ?" "No?o," said Roy, slowly. "You mustn't act so. The boy who I earns his living may be a true gentle- ' man. You must look at the real boy, not the furs nor patches."?Selected. i Ciaiher the FrnsmciitN. Be careful with time. Time is money, and more than that. It is the stuff that eternity is made of.

We owe it to ourselves to keep the body in its best i physical condition. We are gathering j up the fragments in so doing. But j the point to be remembered is the | value and significance of all our hours as related to the-aim of life. This understood, we shall be frugal of our scanty and lessening store. Fragments of times saved will rapidly accumulate wealth?material and spiritual. Kind words and deeds that take but a moment of time may be like fruitful seeds, the harvesting of which may be rich in this life and in tl.e life to come. Oh, the joy of memory that comes from using up fragments of time. They enrich alike the life of him who serves and that of him he serves. What we need is a strong purpose followed out by regular and persevering effort day by day. I To be ashamed of ('hrist in any place, in any company, is not ouly a great sin but it is also a putting one's self in in the way of temptation. A young lady was visiting friends in a home in another city. She had been in the house several weeks, falling in with all the gay life of the family. One Sabbath the Lord's Supper was celebrated 1 in the church where the family attended. This friend received the communion. As they left the church, one of the others said her, "Why, are you a Christian ? I didn't dream it." She had sat down in the wrong company when she first came, thus hiding her friendship for Christ, and thus had denied him in art. It was impossible for j her now to j'rt her testimony right.? J. R.

"Man shall mitl"' v?* hy hn?ail aloni'," (Wesleyan Christian Advocate.) | We have never been forward in giving advice, especially to preachers. Nor can we claim to have been very . forward in takiug advice, But be that I as it may, there is one little bit that we desire to put on record for the good of young preachers, and some olderi ones, too, if they are not too old to!( profit by it. It is not long, nor com-j plicated, nor hard to understand,)' though it may be hard for some to i practice. It is simply this; Don't allow yourself, if you can possibly!, prevent it, to become a preacher of i newspaper notoriety. Thai is all of it, . but there is a world in it. By taking that advice you may not get the gratification of your ambition, but you will have time for many other things that 1 will be of far more real value to you. There is nothing that emasculates a preacher so quickly and so effectually , as a desire for newspaper notoriety, and nothing more completely unfits him for his work as a true minister of the gospel. We might tell you more about it. but we close by saying, think well before you throw our Tittle advice aside. (The Congregational 1st ^ In this hurrying age it behooves us j all to cultivate a habit of being generous in the bestowal of small courtesies, especially upon the aged and lonely. One who is in the whirl of a busy career , may never miss slight attentions, but another who sits apart and sees life's "great occasions drifting by" is apt to feel hurt if notice is withheld ft i9 the sign of a gracious spirit to cherish such persons in thoughtful remembrance and to recognize them in all possible ways. "What a beautiful letter writer your friend is," said a dear old lady, in a pleased tone, to her daughter. In point of fact it was a quite ordinary epistle; but it contained a cordial message to the old lauy, whom the writer had never seen, and the unexpected attention brought sunshine into the dull monotony of her days. In our correspondence, and in all the interchange of social life, let us take.more pains to notice the unnoticed. (Holston Methodist.) Hunger is a sure sign of health. The person without appetite is sick. Do you long for more of God's grace onrl pnmfnrf '' ft sn the snirifual na- I ture is in normal condition. If not, the system has been glutted with something?most likely the "v^in pomp and glory of the world." If hungry for soul-food, remember that the rather is more willing to give bread to his child than earthly parents are to give good gifts to their children. If not hungry, send for the Great Physician. Take a tonic of secret prayer aur1 Bible reading. Try exercise in good works. It is almost certain that the result will be a flush to the cheeks, a sparkle in the eye, and a relish for the good things of the gospel. (Congregational 1st.) A prevailing prayer is one which is so founded in penitence and faith as to illustrate one's desire to be right in his own spirit before God. It is one which no matter what its form or its aim, subordinates the human will to the divine, always tempering its utmost intensity with the proviso, "Yet not My will, but thine, be done." It recognizes the superiority of God's knowledge and the rightfulness o| His rule over us. It understands the fact that a prayer may be answered best by seeming to deny it. It is the ! cry of a trusting child to a loving i father for a favor, not a clamorous suitor for some just but as yet migrant- , ed right. ' i (A. It. Presbyterian.) He who tries to serve two Masters will eveutually full under the power of the wrong one. If you go both with good and with evil company, your character will bear the stamp of your ? evil associates, not of the good. Satan knows this and hence he shrewdly tempts men lo take a half-way stand and go to neither extreme. If he can get men to try to make a compromise between good ami evil, that is all he wants. Christ has plainly warned against this danger, "He that is not for me is against me." To strive to serve Christ is the only way to serve Him at all. (Southern Christian Herald.) The little courtesies of life are so pleasant, both to him who receives and he who bestows them, aud they cost so little?sometimes only a wordis it not surprising that we do not invest more in them? And we doubtless would, but we often forget, them. | Well, let ns think more about them. A little prayer, also, along this line, would be very helpful. Truth must be sought, and that with jare and dilligence before we find it.
