The man who undertakes to
live two lives will find' that lie is
living hut one, and that one is a
life of deception. Causes will he
true to their effects. That which
you sow 3-011 will reap). If 3-011
live to the flesh, to the passions,
to the corrupt inclinations, 5 0U
may depend upon it .tliat the fruit,
whicli is in store for 3'on, will ho
that which belongs to these things.
Tliero can be no doubt as to what
\-oui- harvest will ho.' If you
think that, after your day’s busi
ness is done, 3-011 can shut the
blinds and cai-r3- 011 3-.our orgies
ill secret with 3'our evil conipaii-
ions ; if 3-ou think 3-0U can serve
the devil h3- night, and tin ri go
forth and look like a sweet- and
virtuous 3-oung- ni-aii that goes in
tlie best societ3-, and does not
drink, nor gamble, nor commit
any vice, then tlio deVil has his
lialter about 3-our neck, and he
leads 3-OU, the stupidest fool of
all the crowd. Yon deceive no
body but 3'oiirsolf. 'riiore is an
e.vpresssou in the 03-6 that tells
stories. Passions stain clcar
throngh. A man might as well
expect to take nitrate of silver—
whoso natui-e is to turn him to a
le-ad color—and not have the
doctor know it, as to expect tliat
he can form evil habits and
'pui-sne niiscliievons courses, and
mot have it known. It does not
liiecd a ahei-itf to search out and
reveal tlio kind of life that 3-011
are living. Ever3- law of God in
iiatuve is mi officer after 3-011. It
does not require a court, judge 01-
jiir3' to tr3’ and condemn 3011.
All nature is a court room, and
01-61-3- jn-inci|>le thereof is a part
of that court, which tries and
condemns 3-011. Do not think
that there can be-sucli. a mon
strous mis-adjustment of affairs
a-i that 3-011 can do the work of
tlie devil and have tho i-eiuiiiiei-
tioii of an angel.
The Woiii.D Wi-nioux Sunday.
—Think how tho abstraction of
,Snnda3- would enslave the work
ing classes, witli which we are-
identified. Think of labor going
oil' ill one entemal monotonous-
iiiid' eternal rack, tiiigers forever'
straining, the brow forever droop-,
ing, the loins forever aching, and
tlie wear3- brain forever schem
ing. Think of the beaut3- it
would efface, the merr3--iieai-fed-
ness it would extinguish, the
giant stf-enght it would tamo, the
resources of nattiro it would criisli,
the sickness it -would bring, of
tho projects it would wreck, tho
groafis it would extort, the lives
it would immolate, the cheerless
graves it v. onld preraaturel}'- dig.
See them toiling and fretting,,
grinding and hewing, weaving
and spinning, sowing and reaping,
raising and building, digging and
planting, striving and struggling,
in the garden and in the field, in
the graiiai'3- and in the barn, in
the factory and in tho mill, in
the warehouse and in tlie shop,
in the mountain and in the ditch,
on tlio roadside and in tho coun
try, out at sea and on the shore,
in the dav' of brightness and of
gloom! What a picture this
-would present, if wo had no Sab
bath !

Sunny Faces.—-How sweet in
infancy, how lovely in youth,
how saintly in old age 1 There
are a few noble natiifes whose
very presence c!irries sunshine
with them wherever they go -, a
sunsliiiie which means pity for
tho poor, sympathy for the suf
fering, help for the unfoninate,
and benignity for all. How such
a face enlivens eYci-y- other face
it meets, and carries''into every
company invacity-yoyv'find glad
ness. But the scPiVl aiid frown,
begotten in a selfish heart, and
manifested in daily, almosthourly
fretfnlness complaining, fanlt-
finduig, angry criticism, sjiiteful
comments on the niotives and
actions of others, how they thin
the cheek, shrivel the face, sour
and sadden thecountenance!
No joy in the heart, no nobility
in the soul, no generosity^ in the
nature ; the whole character is as
cold as an iceberg, as- hard as an
Alpine rock, as arid as the waste s
ofSaliara ! Eead.er, which of these
coutenances are you cultivating I
If you find y-onrself losing coiifi-
donco in human nature, you near,
an old age of vinegar, of worm
wood, and of, gall; and not a
mourner will follow your solitary
bier, not one tear-drop sliall ever
fall on your forgotten grave.
. Peddlers as a class have a rep
utation for shrewdness. It is not
common for them to get hold of
tlie poor end of a bargain. Nor
would the peddler of whom this
incident is told have come off'
“socond-hest,” if ho. had reflected
upon the judgment of Solomon.
’I'ho wise king saw that the wo
man who refused to allow the
child to be divided was its mother.
'I'ho jieddler .should have, known
that a mother would not exchange
licl- own bahy- for a box of tea :
A tea-peddler in one of tho
small towns in Canada called on
a jioor woniaii and asked her to
purchase a ho.x of tea. She told
him she was not able to jia v for
it, whereupon he proposed to" lake
tho baby that lay in the cradle
in oxchango for it, and, .she , at
once consenting, he took the bahy--
Miid loft the tea, thinking tlio wo
man would soon follow: When
he Came to the next house he told
what he had done, and was in
formed that the baby did not be
long to the woman, hut had only-
beoii left with her the night be
fore. - He then coiicluded to re
turn the child, but had to give
the woman another box of tea to
got her to take it back.
A Christian woman in a town in
New York desired to obtain a.
school-house for the purpose of
starting a Sunday school, but was
positively- refused by the .skepti
cal trustee. Still she persevered,
and entreated him again and
again. “I fell you, Aunt Polly,
it is of no use. Once for all y-ou
cannot have tho school-house for
any- such purppsoi” “I think I
ain going to get it,” said Aunt
Polly-. “I should like to know
hoiv, if I do not give 5-011 the key-,”
“I think the Lord is going to un
lock it.” “Maybe he will,” said
ilic infidel; “but I can tell yon
this, that lie is not going to get
the key- fi-om mo.” “Well, I am
going to pray over it, and I have
found out from experience, that
when 1 keep on praying, some
thing always gives away.” And
the next time she camo, the hard
heart of the infidel gave way and
she received the key.
How TO Cook a Beei-steak.—
He took the thin, long-handled
frying-pan from its nail, and ])ut-
ting it on the stove heated it
quite hot. In this ho put the
pi§ce of steak previously pound
ed, blit to their surprise lie did not
pat a particle of butter in the
fry-iiig-pan, and did not salt the
steak. He allowed the steak to
merely glaze over, and then turned
it quickly to the other side, turn
ing it several times in this man
ner .until it was done. Four min
utes wore not employ-ed in the
operation, hut a juciei- steak was
never eaten. It was, when done,
laid on tho platter, previously-
warmed, and was buttered and
salted and set a moment in a hot
oven. Allowing the steak to heat
but a moment on each side, help
ed it to retain all its sweet juices,
and putting the salt on at the last
moment after it was on tho plat
ter drew out its juices.
