more, wil you!” said Katie; and *be
kind and good-natured to those who
pleased him, and it would seem that
Esther was often able to influence
him for good.
The most striking instance of this,
and the greatest ©vent in Esther’s
history, was the saving of her Jew-
ish countrymen from a terrible mas
sacre, to wliloh the king had giveu
his consent at the advice of a mali
cious Amalekite, named Hainan. At
the risk of her own life the queen
ventured uubidden into her hus
band's presence, and by her courage
and self-devotion obtained permis
sion for all the Jews to defend them
selves against their enemies. This
was the utmost that Ahasuerus could
grant, because a Persiau decree
could uot be altered if ouce it had
beeu writteu dowu among the laws
of the empire. Hainan was hanged
upou the gallows which he had pre
pared for Mordecai; and the Jews,
instead of being put to death, had
“light, and gl&dncsa, ami jog, and
honor,” during the rest of the reign
of Ahasuerus. In gratitude to God
they appointed a solemn feast to be
kept every year in remembrauce of
their wonderful escape; and because
Hainan had drawu lots to tlnd out
what time would be best for their
slaughter they called it the Feast of
Puiim; that is, the Feast of Lots.
It is ofteu noticed that the book of
Esther, which tells us all this, has
not ouce iu it the uame of God. But
let us remember that every chapter
of it shows the wooderful working of
God’s providence in even the small
est matters, and the whole book
shows He overrules all things for
good, and makes eveu the wrath of
man praise Him.

handsome wigl The barbers were
the most im|>ortant men iu England.
Nay, so universal was the fashion, so
indispensable was this ornameut,
that, aa I have heard my father say,
it gave rise to a particular occupa
tion. The Jews used to go about the
streets with bugs toll of wigs, crying
out, 44 A dip for a penny.” That ia,
every one who paid him a penny
dipped his hand in the bag and took
his chance of the first wig that came
up. It would happen that the mao
fished up a wig too big or too small,
or a black haired man got a red wig,
or the reverse; or s most outrageous
fit, in which no decent citizen or urti-
sun could appear. Why tbeo be
gave another penny and dipped
again; and no doubt in this, as in all
other lotteries, he found more blanks
than prises. In those days wigs
afforded great temjiations to thieves.
In the ill lighted streets the gentle
man returning from some (dace of
amusements or from a carouse—for
men were not very temperate then—
was a rich prise; if he had gambled
away his money his wig was more
ratable than his watch. A brawny
fellow, nometimes with two or three
more, is |»a»sing with a basket at his

The Hootch aud the Spaniards

erbial wisdom; but were the litera

she might prove a formidable rival
to the laud of the oatmeal or to that
of oraogea. We give a few apeci-
incus, which, on acoouut of their
pointed terseness, their quaint,
homely vigor, and dry, Hancho Pan-
aa satire, scarcely need the aid of
rhyme to reoommend them. They
are, indeed, more tolly thau words
cau express, the faithful mirror of
the shrewd, simple, dogged, humor
ous Russian mind, ever veiling its
natural keenness under a maak of
habitual aod impenetrable stolidity.
“Every fox praises his own taiL”
“Go after two wolves aud you will

Put off the sneer
from your lips, and endeavor to find
the little shriveled, dried up germ of
humanity covered up somewhere in
his heart. Talk its eyes open "till it
smiles, aud may be weeps; and ask
now for that liberal mite. It will
make him tremble aud turn pale, no
doubt; but coax it out of him. If
he refuses so much, take a half, a
quarter, a single peony. Your ot*
ject is not to get a big subscription,
but a genuine aud cheerful gift. Put
it on such terms that he will be glad
to give.
Now, if you have succeeded iu get
ting him or her to give a real cheer
tol gift for the sake of Christ, you
may be sure tbe man is happy. You
have raised him in his own eyes.
Moreover, it does him good for the
nonce to think that he has got so
much blessedness so cheaply. l)o
not undeceive him; do uot turn away
in disgust at the miser's (ieuny trail*
|x>rt of benevolence. That transport
of benevolence is tbe thing to do
your work. Praise him; pat his
conscience with a text of Scripture;
try to make him feel .just twice as
happy at giving as be was before ;
make his jxxir weazened face shins
with goodness. It will be a new ex
perience in Chat man'* life! He nev
er was so happy! Next time yoa
visit him—and do not put it off too
long—be will be readier to bear your
ap|>eal. .Still aim rather to excite in
heart the blessedness of giving thau
to secure a large donation. Tbe Urge
donations will come by aud by. fie
mind him of the pleasure lie received
from his former gift. Tell him bow
much good it ukl. Work on his be
nevoience tike a drowned man drawn
out on laud. Breathe into his mouth
and nose, rub his hands and feet, start
circulation. Now he is alive again,
ask him for tbe aecood mite. Make
the request so small be will lie sure
to give. Treat as before.
Find op|K>rtumty sometimes, when
you do not want money, to tell him
of the benefit he has done. Keep
his interest alive. Renew the treat
meut from time to time till bis be
nevolence becomes self supporting.
After that it will grohr of itself.
Your miser will soou be a phi Ian I
thropist.
But do not try tbe other way. Solid
arguments, ridicule, sarcasm, impa

£ “I am very' sorry to see you per
sist in doing a mischievous thing,
and add bad manners to a laid habit.
I have just seen accounts of two sad
accidents from throwing stones which
ought to be a waruiug to boys aguiust
this foolish and dangerous habit. A
young man was riding on horseback,
when a stone, thrown by a little boy,
•hit the horse and (lightened him so
£hat he started aud threw the young
mun 011 the ground, aud injured him
very much. The horse ran ou
.through the street and struck a
woman, kuocking her senseless upon
the enrbstoue. She was sadly in
jured iu the head, and so hruiaed
that it is doubtful whether she will
^recover. It seemed a very small
thing for tbe little boy to throw a
stone, bnt tbe result was dreadful:
If the woman should die, do you
suppose that boy will ever forgive
himself 7"
“But the other story' is still more
sad. A youth was returning home
from school. Just as he was enter-
yig his father’s gate, he heard a
sound in the street, aud, turning his
head, was struck by a stone thrown
by a little boy, which hit him in the
eye and at once destroyed his sight
Now that poor yoath must go all his
days with a blind eye, just because
the other little fellow would amuse
himself throwing stones. These two
anecdotes met my eyes tbe same day-
in the newspapers, which show that
such things occur very often. And
probably, if in the last case the stone
bad hit the boy on the temple, it
would have killed him. Again, then,
I say, don’t throw stones, where
there is a possibility of their hitting
any one."

us a good one. Tbe treenails used

the value of such wooden nails. The
rusting of nails exerts a very de

will be avoided by the use of wooden
l»in*. Moreover, it is most certain
that ln*fore many year* (hum away,

Religious Papers.
A young minister was ouce called
to a young and plastic church. One
of the first questions which he asked
was, “Do your people take good
religious papers 7" The elders scarce
ly knew. He was unwilling to accept
their call unless they would see that
the congregation was supplied with
that sort of literature. They liked
his proposal. The people began to
read more upou church and chris
tian affairs, aud he began to arouse
them to earnest working and gen
erous giving. The contributions in
creased wonderfully, for the people
were learning the real wants of the
church. The preaching was blest.
Press and pulpit lent a force to each
other. Pastor and editor were mu
tual helpers in the same good work.
And here is the real de*ign of an
earnest, thoroughly chri*tian paper.
It is not to draw dividends ti|M>n the
large investment, not to wage con
troversy, not to deal out the mere
news of the day, not to publish bril
liant essays; its leading design is to
do what pastors should be doing if
they knew everything and could be
talking and teaching every week iu
every house. It is his assistant aud
vicar iu the parish. It supplements
his work. It goes when and where
h$ can not go.
