the OEPHANS’ FKLEXl). Octobes* il, J87«, Tlie 'Waireiiton band very valiantly sei-enaded the orphans. Tliey vvei-G delighted, so also those of a larger growth. “it might have been,” Whittier says, are the saddest of all sad words, and so wc think when a wortliy man comes to us and of fers provisions cheap, very cheap, us it is for the orphans ; but since we liaven’t a dollar or anything like a dollar, we ait us down and auise on “wliat might liave been.” STKICKEN OFF. So many names that once gra ced our subscription list have fallen under the rod. It is with a feeling of sadness that we glance down the columns and see them gleaming up beneatli the heavy black marks. Why is this, were von wearied by the weekly visits of the little Emend ? TWO CLASSES OF COIV- TERSEKS. Around and above all other distinctions, there are two great classes of conversers: those rvho make 3’ou feel that j’ou are of some account in the world, and those who have a subtle way of convincing you that you have no light to exist. The latter class is small in number; but what the}' lack in quantity, they make up in sting. Sometimes they' are gifted with a sliarp tongue and an uner ring faculty of saying tlie most grinding things. Sometimes they’ are apparently suave and consid erate in manner and phrase, lint, in either ease, you go away from them with a feeling that the world is stuffed with sawdust,—that y’ou voiirstdf are an imbecile and an impostor. It may take day's for yon to recover your proper stand ing with yourself. Then, if you ask your soul what fatal gift has the tormentor, which carries with it this power of making liis fel low-mortals miserable, y’ou dis- co\er that it is the gift of selfish ness. 'I’iie person to wliom y'ou have been talking is ungenerous. A generous man, a generous yvo- nian—y'ou can not come near siicii a one yvithout receiving sometliiiig that makes amends for your own disappointment with, your own ili ojiinion of, yourself. An ungeiieious person adds the weigiit of anotlier to y’our side of the scales, and down you go !— The Old Cabinet; Scribner for July. REESHING. Darwin, in Ins work on “The Expression of the Emotion in Man and Animals,” has an inter esting chapter on blushing, d’liis act, he tells us, is the most pecu liar and the most human of all expressions. Animals never blush, although nionke3’s reduced from passion. We cannot produce blushing by ari}^ physical means ; it is the mind yvhich must be af fected ; and blushing is not only iavoluntar}’, but the wish to res train it increases tlie tendenc)'. While the young blush more free ly than the old, infants do not blush ; women blush more than men ; the blind and deaf do not escape. It is usually the face, ears and neck onl}^ that redden ; the blushing does not extend over the bod}'; but certain races who go babituall}' nearly naked blush over their arms and chests, and even dorvii to their waists. The limitation to blushing to exposed parts is explained by the fact that these portions of the surface liave boeny_habituall}' exposed to the air, light, and alternations of j .schools and bovs tenipeiature, by' y\'hich the sniali ! never heard any'on arterfes acquire the habit of readily dilating or contracting. Hindoos blush but little; tlie Chinese rarely blush ; tlie Poly nesians blusli freely ; tlie young squaw of the American tribes has been .seen to blush ; the Kaffirs of houtli Africa never blush ; neither do the Australians. iKDEEGE E.IIOTSOKS. We sqmetiraes meet with men who seem to think that any in dulgence in an affectionate feel ing is weak’ The}' will return from a journey and greet tlieir families with a distant dignity, and move among their children w.tii tlie cold and lofty splendor of an iceburg surrounded by its broken fragments. There is hard ly a more unnatural sight on earth than one of these families without a lieart. A father had better extinguish his boy’s eves t'.ian take away Ids heart. Who that has experienced the joys of friendship would not rather lose all that is beautiful in Nature’s scenery than be robbed of the indded” treasures ot the heart.

Most of them do That is why' 1 liked him.” “Do you like to be prayed so good ; I prav so mucli not for V' “Why yes, of course I do.” “The minister prayed to-day that all the boys might be Christ’s boys. Did y ou like that I” “Yes, and I prayec^ as hard as I could that I might be. When wo hear people praying for ns it makes us think it is about time to be praying for ourselves. If children don't like to say much about good things, I guess they- all like to have the minister re member them. I always watch and see if they pray for young folks ; if they don’t," I think they wont have much in their sermon either. Then, of course, I don’t listen as well as I should if I thought there was something for me. A man said the onl}' reason why his dwelling was not blown away in a late storm, was be cause there was a heavy mort' gage on it. -anmially for Peksonal.—A carping old wo man said once to her pastor, “Dear me ministers mak’ muckle adae abot their hard wark ; but wliat’s twa bits o’ sermons in the week ta mak’ up I I could do’t mysel’ “Weel, Janet,” said the minister, goodhiunouredly, “let’s hear you try’t.” “Come awa’ wi’ a text then,” qnotli she. He re peated yvith emphasis, “It is bet ter to dwell in the corner of the housetop than yvith a brawling woman and in a wide house.” Janet fired up i n s t a n 11 v. “What’s that you say, sir I Dae ye intand onything personal !” “Stop, stop,” broke in her pas tor; “you would never do for a minister.” “And what for no ?” said she. “Decanse, Janet, you ctme ower soon to the applica- cation.” I love the quaint saying of a dying man wlio exclaimed, “I have no fear of going home ; I have sent all before ; God’s fin ger is on the latch of ray door, and I am ready for Him to enter.” —‘But,’ said one, “are you not afi-aid lest you should miss your inheritance I” ‘Nay,’; said he, ‘nay'; tliere is one crown in heaven which the angel Gabriel could not wear, it will fit no bead but mine. There is one tlirone in heaven wliich Paul the Apostle could not fill; it was made for me, and I shall hay'o it.’ 0 Christian, what a joyous thought! tliy ])ortlon is secure: ‘there re- maineth a rest.’ But cannot I forfeit itNo ; it is entailed. If I be a child ot God I shall not lose it.. It is mine as securely as if I were there.—Spurgeon. WIIT JOHi\n[F eTked the min ister. The following, which we find in an enchange, lias rich suggestions in it, which yvo commend to the thoughtful consideration of cler gymen generally : “Oh, yvasn’t that a good minis ter we had to-day!” said John- ny. “Yes, very good.

SSOW ARE ADMIT TED. Very often the Superintendent hunts up poor and promising or phans and informs them of tlie advantages offered at the Orphan Houses, and induces them to re turn with him. Generally it is best that lie should see them be fore they start. When this is im practicable, a formal application should be made by' some friend. Here is one in proper form ; Edenton, N.
