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? ItEPOSSTS BY TSSE TEACHEK8. 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. Reading.—^Lelia Butler, llary Cherry, Tlieresa Livingstone, Bello Jlarsliall, Julia I’arker, Winnie Williams, 7.

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 tian Weekly. ' ' Report OF For the week ending: IVov. Otli* IN CASH.

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. Manufactured only by CRAMPTON BROTHERS, Nos. 3, 4, 6, 8, .Tud 10 Rutger’s Place, and No. 33 and 35 Jefferson St., New York. 42 J^R. GEO. W.
