ORPHANS’ FRIEND.
IVodiiesdiiy, Bluvcmber 7, 1877.
The President lias named a day
of thanksgiving for the bountiful
harvests and unnumbered bless
ings which have crowned the year.
But a Greater than the President
has said: “If ye love me, keep
my commandments.” Obedience
is better than thanks. How many
will “ visit the fatherless,” with
their contributions on that day?

The orphans are divided into
Four Graded Forms, each in
charge of a teacher, whose report
is printed every fourth week
The highest number is 10; the
lowest is 1. When the average
is below 5, the orphan is liable to
be discharged as not “promising,”
and therefore excluded by the
regulations. This paper contains
the report made by the teacher
of the
TBIIRD FORn.

KIOICCEOES, BUT TRUE.
During the autumn of 1842, I
was ill Algiers, and, one pleasant
clay, I joined a party of Frencli
officers in a jaunt into tlie back
country- Tlie distance from the
coast—or from the city of Al
giers—to the northernmost sweep
of the Atlas mountains, is not
quite twenty miles, and thither
ward we took our wav to see the
sights. My' particular object was
to see the district whence came
the chief supply of gum Arabic.
On the first night out, we found
quarters with a Peola peasant,
whose household was far from
repulsive or unpleasant.
On the following morning, we
found our host preparing to go to
the forest. He said he was going
to examine his monkey traps.
Tliree of us went with him ; and
the first trap we visited held a
monkey, whose facial contortions
and sharp chattering and scream
ing, as we approached, were
frightful. And what do you sup
pose that trap was? How was the
monkey caught? I will tell a’OU.
Attached to a limb of an acacia
tree by a strong cord was a gourd,
the shell of Avhich ivas tough,
strong and intact, saving a small
round hole on one side. Within
this gourd the peasant had placed
a small quantity of nuts, of which
the monkey is very fond. Well,
the monkey discovers the gourd
in a strange position, and he in
vestigates. Very soon, he deter
mines that some of his favorite
nuts are within. Aha ! here is a
treat. The hole is just large
enough to admit his hand; be
feels the nuts, and in his eager
ness to make a good thing of it,
he gathers up all he can grasp.
But when he tries to withdraw
his hand, it does not come forth.
Closed, with a gill of nuts in its
grasp, the hole is not half large
enough to let it out. Poor ava
ricious wretch ! he can not sur
render his prize or, at all events,
so eager to secure it is he that
the idea of letting go never enters
his head. And there he remains,
snapping and growling, vainly
trying to get bis hand free witli
the prize in possession. And so
it is until morning—until the
man who exposed the bait comes
and takes both gourd and mon
key. He is very angry, and anon
looks very crest-fallen and foolish;
but there is no help for it.
I saw four monkeys captured
in that same way while tarrying
in the shadoAvs of the Atlas moun
tains.—N. Y. Ledger.
The beauty and greenness of
summer is departing, to be fol
lowed with the fall of the leaf.
The song of the biids in the early
dawn of day is no longer heard.
The earth begins to put off the
summer robes of green, soon to
put on her winter robes of snow.
It is well, it is wise, at the close
of each summer season, to reflect
on the shortness of life. The
Scriptures represents it as a ‘ vapor
which appeareth for a little time,
and then vanisheth away.’ The
occupation of the farmer affords
abundant opportunity to study
the works of nature, and to direct
the thoughts to that good and
benevolent Being Avho created our
world, Avho causes the earth to
yield its fruits for the sustenance
of man. God has promised that
‘ wliile the earth remaineth seed
time and harvest shall not fail.’
If, as sometimes occurs, a hard
year comes to the farmer, how it
should teach him his dependence
on Him who ‘giveth the early
and the latter rain !’—Wilmington
Democrat.
AN INCIDENT.
An old lady called at the hank
with her book, and asked to have
all her inoneA'. She had not been
at the bank in nineteen years,
and at that time she had a bal
ance of five dollars only. The ac
count, with the accumulated in
terest, amounted to ovvr fourteen
dollars. She seemed overcome
with emotion when she found
out how much was coming to her,
and went back to the teller, ask
ing him to re-deposit five dollars,
as she did not wish to have so
much money about her. In the
conversation that followed, she
told the clerk that she had passed
through a great many trials, hav
ing lost her husband more than
twenty years ago. For the past
two or three years she has often
been in extreme want—the only
work she has been able to pro
cure latterly was making button--
holes. Last week she obtained
some coal from the city; but on
Saturday she took bai:k the shirts
she had been ivorking on for two
weeks, expecting to receive her
pay, two dollars. But for some
reason they would not pay her.
She went home, not knowing
what to do. She had eaten noth
ing for a day. At last she kneeled
down and asked God to show
her some way that she might not
starve or be compelled to beg,
Eisingfrom her knees, the thought
came over her to open a trunk
that she had not opened for years.
She hoped she might find some
thing either to sell or pawn. On
turning over its contents, she
came across the bank book that
I have mentioned, and which she
had long since forgotten.—Chris

000 —
This Soap is manufactured from pure mate
rials ; and as it contains a large percent
age of Vegetine Oil, is warranted
fully equal to the best imported
Castile soap,and at the same
time contains all the
■ washing & cleans
ing properties
of the cele
brated
CTer-
man and
French Laun
dry Soaps. It is
therefore recommended
for use in the Laundry,
Kitchen and Bath Room,and for
general household purposes; al
so for Printers, Painters, Engineers and
Machinists,as it will remove spots of Ink,
Grease, Tar, Oil, Paint, etc., from the hands.
The Huntingdon Pennsylvania Monitor, of
April 5th, 1877, pronounces this Soap the
best in the market, as follows ;
“Reader, wo don’t want you to suppose
that this is an advertisement, and pass it over
unheeded. Read it. We want to direct your
attention to the advertisement of ‘Crampton’s
Imperial Soap.” Having used it in our of
fice for the past year, we can recommend it as
the best quality ot soap in use. It is a rare
thing to get a Soap that will thoroughly
cleanse printing ink from the hands, as also
from linen; but Crampton’s laundry soap will
do it and we know whereof we speak. It is
especially adapted for printers, painters, en
gineers and machinists, as it will remove
grease of all descriptions from the hands as
well as clothes, with little labor. For general
household purposes it cannot be excelled.
