Ii iiauk Coiiki.kv relates, in the S"iiday School Times, a story of an unconverted teacher in a day school, from which the Bible and religion had not vet been excluded, who became very much concerned for the spiritual welfare of his scholars. Me laid the case be fore his pastor, and urged him to come and talk to the school. the pastor w isely advised him to talk to them l'.iin- s-'if. "Oh, that will never do," the teacher said, "I am not a Christian, and it will be the blind leading the blind, and we should all fall into the ditch to .'ether." "But God has very evidently laid this work on your conscience, and v.. u are the man he has called to it," re plied the pastor, "God is speaking to von, and he docs not intend you should throw the work on some one else " Tht . 1. ,.,t virith tneuttrciubling hefori his school and told them how lie felt.

New Orleans A lvna'o. 'The value of t ravel- is exhibited in ght hand. According to Moses, it was the Lord's right hand that gave the law. Solomon seated his mother !i his right as a mark of honor. "Dexterous" came from the Latin word meaning the right baud, and "sitiistri' from that meaning the left. Even in modern tongues the "superstition" is fixed deep; the French use "droit," the English ' right," for a moral attribute as well as for a physical locality, the French 'gauche," or awk ward, means also left. The same sig nificant peculiarity is to be found in Spanish and Italian. Always it is seen that words derived from "right" are eulogistic, those from the "left" un complimentary and sometimes disgrace ful. Mr. Bead unlocks all this store ol learning to prove that the .list inct i.ci is traditional, and not instinctive, and he ui-i'es the world to hasten the coming of the "both-handed" by beginning m. w t teach chi'drcii to use each hand with equal skill. There would, no doubt, he great advantages in this, but we fear that Mr Bead's own exposition shows mankind to be too closely wedded to "right-handedness" to make the reform a rapid or easy one. .; ton's Jour nal.

Atlanta is one-third Northern; Methodists cnought to fill two good churches have gone there from the North; and yet we have less than fifty of them under our juris diction, as we are informed.
