TJIK CIIILDKEN’S FKIKED Wod5S-Silia.y, Api'M, 1&75. TWO 0003> MlilN GOi\T]. Diu'Iiig the past week, iS'orth Carolina iias Iail. in the siiout tomb two of lier noblest and best men. Dr. W. H. McKee was a gen tleman of pleasant inann(*rsj ten der lieart and magnanimous soul, lie devoted his life to the healing of d’seases. His cheerful lace and Ids kind consolation.s chased a•wa^^ the sorrows of tlie sick, and his services seemed to be most jov'fully rendered to th.ose who had nothing to pay. . Prof. A. S. iStejjhenxS, of Peace Institute, was a faithful and effi cient teacher, and a model Chris tian geiitlenian. His classe.s gave unmistakable proof of thorough instruction, and his dep(n’tment U'as full of digihty and decorum. d'hese me]i were pr.)bably taken because they Avere ripe for hea^■en and ready to go; but so iar as human e}'es can see, the eartli was not perpared to give them up so soon. Mr. J. n. tiloore, Steward oi'Orphan At^y* luiii at Oxford, is giving cntcrtaiuuionts with 'ight orphans on tJie line of the W'ihniiig- ton Sc W(.ddon Road. The object of these entertainments is to excite more interest iu the Orjjhan work. A lleaB4?ia'4aI A rich young- iiian of Borne had been sufferhig- from a sevei-e illness, but at length it was cured, and recovered his health. Then he -vveut for the tirst time into the gardei}, and felt as if he were new ly bone Full of joy he praised God aloud. Fie turned his f..e up towards heaven, and said, “O Thou Almighty Giver of all bless ings, if a human being could in any way repay Thee, how ttil- linglv would I give up all nit' wealth.” Hernias, the siiepherd, listened to these words, and he said to the rich young man, ‘’All good gifts come from above : thou caust not Bend anvthing; thithei-. Come fol low me.’* The ' youth followed tlic pious man, and they caino to a dark hot-el, where there was nothing hut uiisert- and lameuta- tation i for the father lay sick, and the inotlier wept, whilst the chil dren stood around naked and cry ing for bread, dhien the young man was shocked at the scene of uistre.ss. But Hennas said, “Behold lioro an altar for thy sacrifice ! Bo- liold here the hrethern and rejirc- sentatives ot the Lord!” Tic rich young man thou opened his hands, and gave freely and rich- 1)' to them of hi.s wealth, and ten ded the sick man. Hernias said, “Ever turn thy graceful looks to wards heaven, and then totvards earth.”—Little Cliristkm. Had ISonRSc It is not. very long since a no ted bandit was hanged by a mob ill a far Western tcrritnrv. While under the gallows he acknowl edged that Ids crimes were inspir ed by the earh' reading of the life of Dick dkii’iiin, Jack Shop- [)ard,' MuiTc-.ll, the Land .Pirate, and otlier noted crimiiials. ddiis young man, whoso read ing maac iiiiu a vile p3rsoii, came from rehned family, and had graduated from a leading New i'higland college. Tlio ba.d books he read so fascinated him that, as a bitd charmed l>y a serpent, llntterod into its open mouih, lie was impelled to imitate the hiw- iesH (leed.s of his favorite heroes. It is a short, sad story. One day an ingenious, sensitive youth secretly revels in the deeds of the “Land I’lrate,” and then—a brief life of crime intervenes—on an other day his lifeless body swings from the limb of a tree. “AVbatsoover a man sowetli, that shall he alnvavs reap.” A fatlier suddently entering the room of his .sou, saw liiiu hastily conceal a book. “What is that book you are hiding* f ’ ho asked. ffiiie boy, ivitli a blusliing* face, band id it to his father, it was a vile b -ok. “Mr son, erme into tlie libra| ly af.er the famii}’- haA’o retired for t le night, and wo will talk about the book.” That night father and son talk ed as frenid speaketh to friend. The character of the hook was ex posed, the effect of its reading up on the imagination was pointed out, and the result in life produc ed by an evil imaginatian was portrayed. The bov' left the li brary with a vow never to read a bad book. He never did. IIoi.s an honored- and useful maii.*^ Yoii'h's Compmlim. There has been in operation, in Florence, Italy, for tivelve year., an Asv'lum for tlie protec- ijmi, care and education of tJie fe male orphans of Protestant pa- reins. i\laiiy of tliese girls have been educated for teaching and are now engaged in that business. Dthers are trained to the use of the needle or to other domestic emp''oymonts, and all qualified to sustain themselves bv their own exertions. The Asylum is sup- [.'ortod by voluntary contributions C'f Protestants, mostly in England and the United States, and is, we believe, under the immediate supervision of t ho Protestant cliurch. A new Arab Protestant Church has just been dedicated iu Jeru salem. Tlie na.niG given to it is the Church of St. Paul. It is of Romanesque architecture. The architect was an Eiiglisninan. The caiyenteFs work was all done in England and sent out to Palestine. Oil the altar there are three black marble tables with Arabic inscrip tions, sent from Germany. Around the cornice of the clmrcA on a belt a foot and a /mlf in v.-idth, t7^e Beatitudes are writted in Arabic—blue letters on a w/iito ground. -The church is outside of tlie wall, between the Jaffa ami Damascus gates^ dliere is a low wall around it surmounted by an iron fence. The wliole cost of the building is about S20,()0(). This istlie third Protestant church in the Holy City. “Domestic Economy.”—Miss Sorlgwick as asserted tiiat “the inore iiitelligout ii woman becomes, other things being equal, the more jiuliciousiy she n’ill manage her domestic coneerns.” And we add that flio more Icnowled/re a woman possesses of the ■great priiicdple of morals, philosojdiy and hninan happiness, the more importanee she will attach to her stalion and to the name of a‘‘good housokooper.” It is only those who have l.-een supcriiciully educated, or instructed only in all jovy ae-complidhinents, who despkio the ordinary duties of life as beneath their notice. Sm-h persons have in>t suflicient clearness 6f reason to sec that “Domestic Economy” includes overytlitag which is cal culated to make people love home and ho. happy there. A good m.^iny years ago, a Jlassachusetts man was elected to the ollice of Lieutenant- Governor. ^Yhen the fact or his election was aunoimced he was called ujion for a speech. Ho proceeded to acknowledge the honor m very handsome terms, and added that he bad no doubt he should make a good Lieutenant- Governor, as thnt|wastho office he had always held iu his own house.

A CSoee, Slai’d Masj. A hard close man was Soloinort llay, Nothing of value he gave away; He hoarded and saved ; He pinched and shaved ; And the more he had the more he craved. The hard-earned dollars he toiled to gain Brought him little but care and jmin; For little he spent, And all ho lent He made it bring him twenty percent. Such was the life of Solomon Ray. Tire years went by, an i his hair grew gray, His cheeks grew thin, And his soul within Grew hard as the dollai^ ho worked to win. P>ut ho died one day, as all men must, Fur life is lleoting, and man but dust. The heirs were gay. That laid him away, And that was the end of Solomon Ray. They quarreled now, who had littllc caved Edr Solomon Ray while his life was- spared. His lands were sold, And his hard-earned gold All went to the lawyers, 1 am told. Yet men will cheat ami jmrch and save, Nor carry thair treasures beymid the grave All then' gold some day Will melt away Like the' selfifedi saving of Solomon Ray. Sh-ARF Reply— A little boy, running struck his too and Lll on the pavemeui.— “Never mind, my little fellow,” said a by stander; “you won’t feel the pain to-umr- rowr”—^“Then,” answered the little boVf “1 won't cry to-morrow.’^ An urehiu of seven years lately wC-Rt into a barber’s shop and ordered one of the shop men to cat his hair as close as the shears would let him. “Did your mother order it so t"—“No,” was the reply, “but school begins next week, au.l oiir ma'am pulls hair like tliuader.” Dn Guthrie says: “Wc bnVti a great many iliings taught in onr sclioois bow— j-liysioiogj’) philology, craniology, geology ---and wliat the bettej-is a girl for it when she becumes a tradesman’s wife t Biie cunno darn lier stocking, bake her bread, boil a potaloe, or light a liroi 'Wlien 1 .'ee a servant maldng two or thee attcnqifs to iiglit a fire, I am leniptod to say, ‘?ily good I'riom!; bit me try and do itfor yon.’ 1 do not> rc-mein- IxT, despise these oiogies, l-iiT am for stitcli- oiogy, bakei'ology and iioih.logy.” Once a careles-s man went to the -ellar and stuck a ciuullc in what lie ihougiit was a keg of black sand. He sat near it drinking wine until the einid'lc burned low. Nearer and nearer it got to the black sand; nearer, near cr, until tlie blaze reac.ied the black sand and as it was sami, nothing hajipened.
