Such may sometimes be done, but never to any-one's inconvenience. In one of our colleges a professor, who made, him- self very friendly with the students, was walking out with an intelligent scholar, when they saw an old man hoeing in a corn- field. He was advancing slowly with his work toward the road, by the side of which lay his shoes. As it; was near sunset, the stodent proposed to play the old man a joke. " I will hide his shoes we will conceal our • selves behind the bushes, and see what he will do." "No," said the professor, " it would not be right. You have money enough just put a dollar in the man's shoes then we will hide behind the bushes, and see what he wUl do." The student agreed to the proposal, and they concealed themselves accordingly. When the laborer had finished his row of com, he came out of the field to go home. He put on one shoe, felt something hard, took it off and found the dollar. He looked around him, but saw no one, and looked up gratefully toward heaven. He then put on the other shoe, and found another dollar. He looked at it, and looked all around him, but saw no one. He then knelt upon the ground and returned thanks to God for the blessings that had been conferred upon him. The listeners learned from that prayer that the old man's wiie and one of his children were sijk, and that they were poor so that the two dollars were a great relief sent to them from heaven. " There," said the prefessor, how much better this is than to have hidden the old man's.shoes."â€" [Christian Advocate. spine in the last approved manner, and she was an admirable horse woman as long as her horse behaved hiiLself but it was the loary of intimate friendship.

Miss Toffstaff also felt that she had been cheated. Sir Adrian was the only good mateh in that part of the country â€" and with his family and position, and htr wealth, they might have done any- thing. And he was throwing himself away upon a pauper.

She is much above me as if she were of a superior Marriage. Marriage should be waited for, not sought. " Who knows," writes Miss L. C. Moulton, "round what corner his destiny may be hid- ing â€" at what unexpected turn he may come upon the face above all faces for him To put aside as far as possible the thought of marriage until compelled to think of it by some strong and special attraction towards some special person is wiser than to be seek- ing in every chance acquaintance the possi- ble husband or wife. We shall meet the peo- ple who are coming to meet us,' no matter in what f *r off land their journey towards us begins. Perhaps parents are more to blame 'or worldly marriages than we are apt to think. How constantly we hear the term, 'married well' applied not to character or congeniality or true ficnesi, but to a com- fortable income! And yet there is something to be said for ' the stern parent ' of the nov- els, with his ' hard facts.' The old adage that when poverty comes in at the door love flies out of the window,' is true only of small and poor natures â€" natures incapable of a great love but it is nevertheless true that to be loved it is necessary to be lovely, and that it is far more difficult to be lovely when we are hard pressed by want and rendered fretful by care and overwork." Progress of the Electric Industry. Little was added to our knowledge of elec- tricity during 1887, but there was a remark- able development of its practical applica- tions. One of the most important scientific discoveries was that sparks in tubes dis- sociated iodine, bromide and chlorine. Immense improvements have been made in the construction of dynanos, motors, ac- cumulators and secondary generators, and in consequence the electric lighting and working of railways and tramways has entered upon a commercial and useful stage. The application of powerful electric currents to smelting, as in the Cowles process for producing aluminum, and to welding, as proposed by Eldiu Thompson, is gaining rapid progress, while the use of en:rmous dynamos for the deposition of pure copper from impure ores is gaining ground with giant strides. Nature quotes the president of the Institotion of Electrical Eagineers as authority for the stotement that there are at least 300,000 persons in Great Britain depending upon the electric industry for their daily bread. â€" Ex.

To be grateful in proportion to the intention of the benefactor, rather than in proportion to what we receive. To feel as deep a remorse before as we feel after being found out. Shaving- Water. A country vicar was recommended by a doctor to take a little stimulant, and at last reluctantly consented to do so for the gcjd man believed in the force of example, and hence had been an abstdliner far many years. So he decided to keep the bottle in his wardrobe, and take a little whiskey with hot water at the time at which he shaved. When the ^iculapius called at the end of a week, the vicar's butler announced to him that his master had gone mad. " For," said he, " he's crying for shaving-water all day long." »onderiaghowZ i^T ~i W^were nerfecUy frank and gracious clay-an angelic being out of my sphere. .««Cut1he iTh ^^a*? ^^elr^^^^^^^^.iorf^^^' Bull sl^XL La^^ Belfield. tlo;*Will 'M hni. .,""""" I'ue girusn ngure ai- » her i« "?*' P»'o«npt and swift to wait tort J L*^""' »nd anticipate her " wuhes, to cut the leaves of her ' nen« "*°8e her crewels, to listen ' more Vk^""" *« I'er music.

Near Sioux City a passenger train on the St. Paul railroad was running at a rapid rate when the engine jumped the track) broke loose from the train and went into a ditch without disturbing the rails.

Various suggestions bordering on the supernatural were made as to the man- ner and cause of the locomotive's mysterious disappearance, but after walking down the track and around the curve they found the disabled machine in the ditch An English travellei told a Beliza (Hsn- duras) newspaper man that he had eaton a "scorpion pie" while in Mexico, and that he liked it.

The Minister's Old Thoroughbred- Something over half a centory ago an. in- tense rivalry existed between the inhabi- tants of Litchfield and of New Milford, in Connecticut, as to which of those villas^ had the fastest horse. It happened that the Rev. Dr. Taylor â€" a famous preacher of that day, and a warm personal friend of theRsv. Dr. Lyman Beecher's â€" had an old thoroughbred horse that could outrun every- thing in that part of Connecticut. The young men of New Milford, being greatly worked up by the boasts of their Litchfield neighbours, called on Dr. Taylor, and asked him to let them have his horse for a trial of speed. The doctor shook his head, and said, ' My dear young friends, that would never do. It would not answer for a man in my position to be mixed up in any such affair. You can see for yourselves that it would never do." The young men however would not be put off. They argued the case at great length with the dootor, but he waa inexorable. He would not be mixel up in such an affair. Supposing that the case waa hopeless, they at last turned to go, when the good dojtor called out to one of them, " John, you will find the bridle behind the barn door " The young man took the hint, and also the horse and the doctor's old thoroughbred beat his Litehfield competitor out of sight.

Nearly three thousand years ago. a very wise man and a great sporteman. exchanged the company of philosophers, and grave senators, for that of wits and gallants. He established a playhouse in oraer to entor- tain himself and others with jests, banter and drollery. Solomon had every tlung that was charming and diverting all sorta of melody and music, vocal and instrumentid, men singers, and women singers, the best voices he could pick up. all the wind and hand instrumento that were then in use. But -he pronounced them all vanity and vexation of spirit. He obviously came to grief in attempting to run a national opera company on k theocratic principle. Appar- ently, he could manage 300 wives and 700 concubines, with the Queen of Sheba thrown into the heap. But the great Israelitish opera experiment fairly panlyzed lum. Man And Eis Shoes.
