This picture is an illustration of the account of the little He brew Maid, who was instrumental in tlie cure of Naaman the leper, given in Sacred History, from which we quote the following: “And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife. And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were witli the proph et that is in Samaria! for lie would recover him of his leprosy. And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel. ******* So Naaman came with his hor ses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. And Elisha sent a messenger unto him saj'ing. Go wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. « * * « it * * Then went he down, and dip ped himself seven times in Jordan, according unto the saving of the man of God : and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.” TME TliEE KIA«. It is said that long ago there lived a man, who had a ring of great beauty. The stone was an opal which caught the light, and gave it back in a hundred bright, fancy colors. It had the wonderful power of making him who wore it dear to God and man. It was no won der that the owner prized it very highly, and always wore it on his finger. Now this man had three sons, and he wished that after his death, the son whom he loved most should have the ring. But all the sons were loving and obedient, and the father thought that he loved most whichever one hap])ened to be with him. To each one at different times, he promised the ring. At last lie knew that he mu.st soon die. AVhat should he do I To which son should he give the ring 1 He could not bear to make two of his sons feel badly, so he sent for a ring-maker, and told him to make two other rings, just like the first. The jeweller did so, and even the dying man himself could not tell which was the true ring. He called his sons, one bv one, and gave to each a ring. “After his death, the sons quarreled among themselves as to which one had the true ring. They went, at last to a judge, and told him their story. He said, “I hear that the true ring has the power of making him who wears itveiy much beloved by God and man. Now which one of you is most loved by the other two ? Why are 3’ou .silent ? Does each one love himself the most? I will tell you what to do. Go to vour homes, and let each one try to prove the power of his ring. Ho who is most gentle, most loving, most unselfish, most obedient to God, he it is who has the true ring.” Do }'ou know what this story means ? What do you think the ring is like f Would you not like to have such a treasure, which would make eveiy^ one love you so much ? Tiie rino' is /ove. Whosever loves God and man most, is best loved by them. Will not each little child tiy to show that he has this loving heart ? Then God and all who know you, will love you very dearly, and the sweet Summer air, which is so full of the per fume of flowers, will be fi-agrant too with loving and unselfish acts and words.

When two horses are once put together, they are veiy sel dom separated except in case of sickness or accident. They eat from the same manger. They are neaily always driven by the same coachman, and understand his words and motions perfectlv. If a horse knew all about it, and could have his choice, I suspect that next to being the ]iet of some good family, he would like to be an omnibus horse in Paris.—Con- greyationalist. -Prof. Bell made some very the Sa- the He bv successful experiments with telephone at L3 ceum Hall, lem, on Monday night, in presence of 500 auditors, liad effected communication „, wire with his worksliop in Bos ton. Ilis associate, Mr. AVatson, brought an organ into use at the Boston end and “ Should Auld Acquaintance ” a n d “ Yankee Doodle” were heard and heartily applauded in Lyceum Hall. Then a speech was called for, and the Salem people heard Mr. AVatson say he was glad of the privilege of addressing them, although he was 18 miles awav^. A song was sung, and the applause that could be heard coming over the wire to Boston showed that it had been recognized and appreciated in Salem. Indeed, the signs of ap proval were so clearly heard here that Air. AYatsou asked if any demonstration other than the clapping of hands had been made. 1 he answer was that nothing else had been done. Tlien “ Hold the Fort” was sung by Mr. Fletcher, and a series of ques tions propounded in Salem. In formation was sought as to the condition of affairs on the Boston and Maine liailroad, and the weather, a number of well-known Salem gentlemen taking part in this desultory discussion.—Iri- hune.

As wo have seen how misera ble some of the horses look which draw' the omnibuses in Boston, we have pitied them, and thought how much more favored are the omnibus horses in Paris. There each coach has ten belonging to it, and they are relieved five times a day. Thev' are handsome white and dapple-gray horses j are well- fed, trained with care, and never ovei-s-worked, so that they are strong^and good for long years of Very often the Superintendent hunts up poor and promising or phans and informs them of the advantages offered at the Orphan Houses, and induces them to re turn with liim.
