Spelling Kitton.
A dear little cirl.
With hor brain in a ?-birl.
Was a*ked tho word kitten to
"Redouble i-t?

And thought she had done very nei!.

"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

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.

Be careful with time. Time is
money, and more than that. It is
the stuff that eternity is made of. Be,
therefore, raisers of minutes. We
talk of "off hours" and "spare ,
moments," but we have none to spare.
True, we need recreation, relief from
the daily pressure of care. Sleep cannot
be safely shortened. Rest is a

a sin against the body.' 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. Milier, I). D.
The happiest mood is the contented I
mood. It makes little difference <
what we liaveor where we live, provided
we are contented. People have ,
quite as much trouble in this world
about what they have not as about i
they have.
Trust Xol Sight.
"Heshall cover thee with his feath- r
ers, ami under his wing..-halt thou tat

Not under his wings shalt thou pr
see! If a little eaglet wanted to see ke
for itself what was going on, and I
thought it could take care of itself for by
for a little, and hopped from under :
the shadow of the wings, it would let
neither be safe nor warm. The sharp inj
wind would chill it, and the cruel thi
hand might seize it,then. 80 you are :
to trust, rest quietly and j>eacefully di?
"under his wings stay there, not be th<
peeping out and wondering whether th?
God really is taking care of you! an
You may be always safe and happy
there. S>afe, for "in the shadow of on
Thy wiugs will I make my refuge," di:
Psa. lvii: 1. Remember, too, that it eh
is a command as a promise: it is what an
you are to do to-day, all day long : dis

Rinse out niilk bottles, pitchers i
d etrs cups with cold waier. Kinpand
rinse cups. Put any dishes
ed in baking to soak in cold water.
11 kettles and spiders full of cold wa ,
and set away from the stove to
ik. If left on the stove, the heat
rdens whatever has adhered to the
les in cooking and renders it harder

i. Have one pan half tilled with hot,
apy water. For this*pnrpnse, keep
e s'oap in a shaker made for this obit,
or improvise one by putting a few
iles through the liottom of a small
rd ofcottolene pail. Never leave the
ip in the dish pan to waste and
ck to the dishes. Have a second
n ready full of hot water for rinsing
fore draining.
". Wash glasses first slipping them
e at a time sideways into the hot
iter, so that the hot water touching
em outside and iuside at the same
ue may obviate the danger of breake
from unequal expansiou. Dry inisdiately
on a clean glass towel, or ou j
uares of-old cotton cloth hemmed;
d kept for this purpose.
>. Wash the silver, and wipe at once
mi the soapy water, rubbinp, any
?ce with silver polish that seems at
I discolored.
). Wash the china, standing the
utes and saucers on edge in the rinsS
pan, and setting the cups right
ie up, that they uiay be thoroughly
ised. .Scald the milk pitchers.
10. Wash steel knives and forks in
irm, not hot, water, scouring the
ides if necessary. Never leave the

11. Rub tins inside and out, using
polio if discolored, and paying espec

.'he best way to take ink out ofj i

it all traces of the ink stains will

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.
