This is Holy Week, because of the sad and hallowed event which preceeded the crucifixion of our blessed b'aviour and ,hich have made it as sweet and as dear w and as tender and as touching to the Chris tian's heart as the hallowed trinkets that !ovc used to wear. Sunday was Palm Sun day, for on that day our sweet and precious Saviour made his triumphant entrance into Jerusalem, and the people sputtered palm hranch.es before iTim, crying; "Ilosanna, blessed is 'the King of Israel that comcth in the name of the Lord." Monday is sxl- :n:zeJ by his re-entrance into Jerusalem v.'.;.;re He ejected the money changers from the Temple. On Tuesday lie delivered vjiiie wise and ever to be remembered para hies, and foretold the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem. On Wednesday He foretold I lis betrayal. On Thursday night he instituted the Lord's Supper, which lias been such a strength and such a eo.nf.s.t and such a solace through all the cer.it.il ies that have f.oun a down lite hoary ciiannt-'i of froslid 'lime. On th same r.ii.i he v. as an est -..d, bound in chains and carried a captive to the High Priest. What a picture!

Slander. There is nothing which wings its flight so swiftly as calumny; nothing which is uttered with more ease, nothing which is listened o with more readiness or dis persed more widely- Slander soaks into the mind as. water soaks into low and marshy places, where it becomes stagnant and offensive. The tongue of slander is never tired, in one form or another it man ages to keep itself in constant employment "Like death, it loves a shining mark," and is never so available and eloquent, as when it can blight the hopes of the noble minded, soil the reputation of the pure, and break down or destroy the character of the brave and strong. No soul of high estate can take delight in slander. It proves that somewhere in the soul there is a weakness a vile, eil nature. That man who at tempts to bring .down and depreciate those who arc below him docs .jot thereby ele vate himself. lie rather sinks himself, while those whom he traduces are benefit ed rather than injured by the slanders of one o base :ks he. He who in dulges in slander like r.e who throws ashes to the windward, which come j i,ack to the same place and cover him all over.

Reme v.her we all have our faults, xr.d if we expect charity from the world we must he dmitalde our evc A word once spoken can never be recalled; therefore it is prudent to think twice before we speak, c-pecial!v when ill is the burden of our talk. Speak no ill of a friend, nor spetk any of an enemy. There ; seldom anything uttered in malice which returns not to the heart of the speaker. Deal tenderly with the absent .Say noth ing to inflict a wound cm their repu tation. They may be wrong and wicked, vet your knowledge of it doos (not oblige you to disclose their character, except to save others from injury. Then do it in a way that bespeaks a spirit of kindness for the absent offender.
