I remember reading, when a f very
Jittlc boy, about a child who was in
tk habit of goin to an upper room
or loft where there was a store of . ap
ples. She w,cnt from time to time to
steal the fruit; but she met with some
thing tlJat greatly troubled her. There
happened to have been placed in that
store room an old painting. It was a
large face, the ees of which, go to
what part of thefroom' the little girl
might, seemed tti follow her, and they"
appeared to be saying to her, as the
fatooped down to take "up the apple,
.'Ah, I ece you ! ; It is very naughty,
Vou arc sure to be fduiul out," This
h annoyed the little culprit," from time
to time, that she' was determined to
ft a stop to the! threatening of these.

Mnall knife, or aj pair of. scissors, and
htuck then&out. j Ah, bn, still there
were two large holes iu Jhc place '' of
them, and she never could look at them
without thinking of the eyes, and what
they used to say tD her, She had put
out the eyes, but she had not, nor
coujd she get rid of her conscience.
Moreover, the very means she had
used for Rpiningj without 'rebuke only
served to discover her guilt, for, when
what had befallen the paintings came
to be found out jt led to such' rebuke

Xo trait of character is more valua

sweet temper. Homo can never be
made happy without it. It is like the
flowers that q fing up in our pathway,
reviving and cheering us. Let a. man
go home at nigjir, wearied aud " worn
out by the toil j of the ,lay, and how
soothing is a vord dictated by a'good
disposition! It is sunshine falling up-
on his heart. Jle is happy, and the
cares nf fire arc forgotten. A sweet
temper has. a soothing iuflueuee over
the miuds of t' e whole family. "Where
it is found in a wife and mother, you
observe kindness and love predominate
over the feelings of a natural heart..
Smiles, kind words, and looks charac

-,The Valley of "Death, a spot almost
as terrible f-s the prophet's valley of dry
bones, lies ju,t r.orth of the old Mormon
road to California, a region 30 miles
by SO broad, anajsurrounded, except at
two'pointF, by inaccessible mountains
It is totally devoid of water and vegeta
tion, and the shadow of bird or'wild
beast never darkens, its white Klarm
sands. The Kansa3 Pacific liiilroad
engineers discovered it, and also some
papers which 'show the lite of the late
Montgomery train,' which came' south
from Salt Lake in 1830, guided by a
Mormon. When near Death's lalley,
some came to the conclusion that tife
Mormons knew nothing about the coun
try, so they appointed one'of their num.
ber a leader; and broke off from . the
party, The jeader turned due west ; so

That loveliest specimen cf woman,
Aspasi- who lived in the days, '..and
was the associate of Socrates. Pericles,
and Alcibiades, in Athens,7rom a certain
circumstarce, worshipped the rose
L.veiy in form and features, beyond
common lot ot her sex, yet she had a
hideous waif ouher'fac:v, which marred
all her cn y'ment, and rendered her
young hf.i miserable K It defied all the
arts of the doctors, nurses and caustics.
One night thebfeautiful Appasia, weary
Ot lile with that terrible bVX on her
lace cried herselt to sleep. Iu l,er
dreams a , dove 'was sent toher by the
Goddess Venus, and informed her, if he
wrould t iko some rose leaves and tey
them' on her cheeks the wart would
disappear. . She did so, and she became
as per ec' in 1 eauty as she wisin intellect
The great orator, Pericles, divorced
his wive to marry Asp;is:a.'. She was
afterwards the cause of two w :.rs one
between the Athenians and Lacc';eaio
nians, and the other the Athenians
against Samians. If we could induce
some of the young ladies of the present
day, says an! cl.-gant writer, to divide
part ot the devotion paid to music wiih
the cultivation of the peerless rose, aud
oilier flowers, it would bring beauty to
their checks and more life and vivacity
to their music. The history ot the past
is full of adoration ot the rose. Ifcjio
gabalus bathed in rose wine, acd Nei6
,had a fountain throwing up rose water,
to supply which whole shiploads of
roses were brought from Greece, the an
cient home of the rose. There is aa
better index of refinement, as we pa?s
the street or public highways in tbe
country, than to see this beautiful
flower having a prominent place in the
sitting-room, garden, or lawn.

Woman's True 3Xijssio.
Homes, are stupid, homes are drjarv
homes are insufferable. It one can ie
pardoned for the Irishism cf such a
saying, homes are their own worst
'banes.' If homes were what tky
should be, nothing under heaven could
be tune to them, which would do mnr
,than serve as useful foil to set off their
better cheer, their pleasanttr ways,
their wholesome joys. Whose fau'lt i3
it that they are not so?) Fault is a
heavy word. It includes generations
in its pitiless entail. Sufficient for the
day is the evil thereof, is but one side
of the .truth. .No day is sufficient unto
the evil thereof, is the other. Each
day has to bear burdens pissed down
by so many other days j each- person
has to bear burdens o complicated, so
I interwoven with the burdens of others ;
each person's fault is so fevered and
swollen by faults of others, that there
is no disentangling the ouestjon of re
sponsibility. Everything everybody's
flault, is the simplest and lairest way of
putling it. It is everybod's fault that
the average home 'is stupid, dreary, in
sufferable, a place from which lathers
flyj to club3, boys and girte to streets.
Bt when we ask who can do most to
remedy this, in whose hands it mof t
dies to ( fwhtf the fight against the ten
dencies to monotony, stupidity, and
instability, which are inherent in hu
man nature, then the answer is clear
and loud," It is the worth of women
this is the true mission of. women, their
'right' divine and unejuestionable, and
ir,e'uding most emphatically the 'right
to labor.'
There is one aged colored woman in
South Carolina who docs not believe
in social equality, judging from the
way she talks to her son :
; ' Ephreham, courc nyar to yer mod

Only by a just stewardship of the
temporal can wo hopo to merit the
eternal. This is a life of trial, aud
when we are through with it, the
soul we develop out of time's Just,
and bring t-iiumphantly to the gate3
of eternity, will be worth more than
our handful of gold. Chkarjo Di

which lies next to your hand. Trust
God to weave your little thread into the

shall come to its reaping, and the day
shall broaden itself to avthons"and, and
tho thousands shall show themselves
as a perfect and finished day. Geo.

In deep, spiritual temptations noth
ing has helped me better, with noth
ing have I heartened myself, and driv
en away the devil better, than with
this : That Christ, the true eternal
Son of God, is "bone of our bone, and
flesh of our flesh," and that He sits
on the right hand of God, and pleads
for us. When I can grasp this shield
of faith I have already chased away
the evil one with his fiery darts, Lu
ther, Christianity is not a theory, or spec
ulation, but a life ; not a philosophy
of jlife, but a life and a living process.
Try it. It has been 1,800 years i ih
existence, and has one individual left
a record like the following: I tried
it, and it did not answer. I mad-3 the
experiment faithfully, according to tho
directions ; and the result has been a
conviction of my own credulity. Cole

Heaven penetrates to the bottom
of our hearts, like light into a dark
chamber. We must conform ourselves
to it, till we arc like two instruments
of music tuned t the same pitch. We
muit join ourselves with it, like two
tablets which appear but one. "We
must receive its gifts the very moment
its hands is open to bestow. Our ir
regularpassions shut up the door of
our souls to God. Confucius.
There is on on 2 pass key that will
open every door, and that is the gold
en key of love. You can touch ' every
side of the human heart, and its every
want, that is, if you can touch it all ;
and if you have the power to bestow
anything, love gives facility of access,
the power of drawing near to men, the
power of enriching thought, of weak
ening their hungry desires and appe
tites, tb.3 power to thaw out the winter
of their souls, and to prepare the soil
for the seed and growth of the better
life, -. W. Beher.
