I had fashioned them ont of a newspaper. This was just the beginning; soon there would be a whole troop; bat uncle, with an impatient movement, swept my whole collection into the waste-basket. "I beg you earnestly to give me your attention," he said, "for the matter is serious. The house of Meyer Co. has failed." "What, has it "Or, itf other words, it has sprung what is there to laugh about now "I laugh because it sounds so awfully funny; springing houses and landed property; next I suppose we'll hear of MY LITTLE WCTB- Sbe isn't Tory pretty (Bo nr her lady friend): She's neHherwlse nor witty With verbal odds and eods.1 No fleeting freaks of fa-hion Across her fancy run.

And, though at ber with pity The city dame may smile. Who dream her hardly pretty And i-adry out of style.

ADd I mid be never Her lover and her I think I'd lie fur ever that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!" No national custom is more beautiful than that which sets apart one day in the year for the public acknowledgment of the tender mercies of God. And it is singularly appropriate that this national festival should he held in the autumn, "after the ingathering of the harvests of the field and the fruits of the orchard." Christian Advocate.

Out of seeming discouragements we may draw real and- experienced comforts; and out of the deep wells of trouble the waters of salvation and joy; as the woman of Canaan, by our Lord's delay, to try her faith, proved herself to he one of the lost sheep of the true Israel, which he came down to find and to save. Samuel Lee. When we pray for any virtue, we should cultivate the virtue as well as pray for it; the form of your prayer should be the rble of your lift; every petition to God is a precej toman. 1-ook not, therefore, upon your prayers as a short method of duty and salvation only, but as a perpitual monition of duty. By what we require of God we see what he requires of us.

Jeremy Taylor. Our own I hanksijiving Day, instituted by the Pilgtim Fathers iu our country's stormy infancy, and born of heartfelt gratitude for mercies ear.y vouchsafed to them in their uew hi Die, was doubtless au offshoot of the harvest festivities ot the laud whence they sprung. B'tt with the tiight of years the day has assumed a local color aud a national character, and the American harvest home acknowledges reverently and thankfully the bounty of the giver of all good. ln louhtedly the origin of tho old English custom of harvest-home rejoicings is to he found in these ceremonies of the ancients. Until within the past (piaiter of a century, we are told.

Cures might he found reproduced upon the harvest fields of all F.uuland, whether, as in Northumberland and the eastern counties, under the guise of a "Harvest (ueen," or as in 1 evou-hire as a twisted figure of ch' ice stalks called a "knack," or in Norfolk as a "ben," orin the north as a "kern baby." The harvest homes or "horkey suppers" exactly reproduce, in their temporary conditions of perfect equality between masters and servants, the harvest feast held in former days among the pleasant plains of Campania and uuder the shadow of the Alps. Alas, how many gfntle messengers of God flutter homeless about our hearts, unrecognized and unwelcomed, because we hive not been watching for them Of what avail is it that a strong hand from the clitl shoo Id fling the safety line with true aim to wreck, if no eye on the deck is watching for it It hangs there, useless and unseen, sud theu it drops into the sea, and every soul ou board is drowned. It is our own fault and very largely the fauit of our want of watchfulness for the coming of God's help if we are ever overwhelmed by the tasks, or or sorrows of life We wonder that we are left to fiVht out the battle ourselves. But are we? Is it not rather that while God's 1 succors are hastening to our Bide we will not open our eyes to see, nor our hearts to receive them Alexander Maclaren. There is never a more interesting story than that which a man toils about himself.

The "Itime of the Ancient Mariner" derives much of its interest because the man ho told it Wais the mariner. That man, whose finger was skinny, like the finger of Death, began to tell that dismal story ot the ship at sea in a ureat calm, when slimy things did crawl with Jeog over the shiny sea. The wedding-guest sat still to listen, for tlieoia man was mmseit a story. lr-gil, the poet, makes tell his own story, aud makes him it by saying: "In which I also had a great part myself?" So, if you would interest your friends, tell them what you felt yourself. Tell them how you were once a lost, abandoned sinner, how the Lord met with you, how you bowed your knees, and poured out yonr soul before God, and how at last you leaped with joy, for you thought you heard him say within you: even am be that blotteth out thy transgressions for my name's sake." Do you ask yourselves how many of you have been constant in family prayers, nstant in the Sunday-school, constant in the word of God all which thing are very good, but they do not produce any results, any more than if a farmer should go around his farm every single day, clear around the boundaries and e-ry trench, but never planting anything, uever hoeing anything or plowiuu anything, but looking at every thing and Igoing all around his fa in aurf f.i.lo tl I ti, i- "pii.

How many there are that are thinking they may be saved by a death-bed repentance. wretched, fal acious hope. You are here to train yourself in tne knowledge of a heavnly life, and if you miss these times and hours you never cau gather it suddenly any more than a boy cau suddenly gather the knowledge of any study he Has negitctedin all hts career. H.

W. Beecher. God chooses the humblest instruments. He passes by the tempests, and waters the tie 1 Is and gardens with his imper ceptible dew. He passes bv the great elephant, aud bestows the buasof sap-' phtre and amethyst upon the tiny hum ming-bird, lie passes by the lolty pine aud huge elm tree, and lavishes blossom and perfume on the violet.

And history teaches the same truth. Moses was the son of a poor Levite; Gideon was a thresher; David was a shepherd boy; Amos was a herdsman; the apostles were ignorant and unlearned; Zwingle was a shepherd; Melancbthon, the great theologian of the Reformation, was an armorer; Lather was the child of a poor miner; Fuller was a farm-servant Carey, theoriginatorof the plan of translating the Bible into the language of the millions of Hindoostan, was a shoemaker; Morrison, who translated I he Bible into the Chinese language, was a lastmttker; Dr. Milne was a herd-boy; Adam Clarke was the son of Irish cotters; John Foster was a weaver: Jay, of Bath, was a herdsman. Our peaceful, healthful homes their delightful friendships, hallowed associations, and consecrated loves; for our mountains grim and grand, with their exhaustless mines of untold wealth; for our valleys, fertile and beautiful, fragrant with rose-buds, luxuriant purple clusters, and delicious fruitage; for our rivers and seas that bear our commerce; for our railroads that afford quick transit for our persons and our property; for our telegraphs that flash onr thoughts across oceans and continents; for peace, fer civil liberty; for the progress of civilization and the conquests ot the Christian religion; for the quenchless spirit of American invention and enterprise: the products of scientific research and discovery; the increased appreciation and efficiency of onr schools and colleges and universities, evinced by their more liberal endowments and appliances; for all sweet charities; for all permanent reforms; for all influences that tend to refinement, to the elevation of the people to a higher plane of morality and parity, let God be thanked. Let all the people praise him; yea, let all the people raise him.

Already my twenty-fifth When I say already, it is due to my conception at the time being, for now, where I find the twenty-five threatening to multiply, I comprehend that I was then only junt twenty -five, that means that I still had a vista of youth and years before me. For handsome I was I can comprehend that better now than I could then for though I possessed sufficient vanity yet, that now lost beauty which my recollection and several old photographs serve to recall to tni.nl, appears to me far morj lovely than that which my mirror showed me at the time. I remember I thought my eyes much too small, and now the crow's feet madden me; my hair not silky enough, and now it is becomingly decided too grey. If it only was white there's at least some attraction there, but grty. that miserable shade of the fov the donkey and all the- (1ry, which so truly shows the autumnal.

Hat, stupid epoch, when we cannot yet command the reverence due to ag-1, but still have forfeited the admiration due to attractive youth. Well, ou this birthday I sighed that it was already my twtnty-fifth; and, in fact, I was fully justified in this sigh, for though fair years youth still lay stretched out before me, it is just as true that eveu fairer and Wholly unen-joyed ones belonged to the past. By nature the gayest creature ou earth, it was my destiny to experience one sffitctiou after another, and what with sickness, death and other like un-fo never succeeded in getting out of the pale of sorrow. Still the talent for lamentation was missing, I was not worthy to be visited by so many gloomy for I could not, despite all, force myself to any genuine grief. Within me th re still slumbered the alas, never satisfied desire to be jay.

I never brought it so far as to lattyh, but 1 felt that there was laughter within me, but laughter repressed, smothered iu the bud and languishing for want of exercise; and considered it a great misund jrstan ting between myself and the goddess of destiny that my existence should fashion itself so uecrologi- caiiy My parents, two brothers and myself lived at the house of my grandparents, 1 was six years old, a dancing, frolic- some, shouting romp. At that time it was not forbidden me to laugh, but now that long death-rate began. First my grandpareuts; that could not crush me. He, who as a little child, was brought to verge of desperation at rthe death of a deaf grandmother aud grumbling grandfather, let him throw at me the Sist stone. Iu the course of the next two years! my parents died.

sEven ibis really oieat calamity I could not comprehend. What does a child of eight years know about the grim terror, the awful majesty of death It is true, my. inner hap- piness and love ot life were pressed back through death ceremonies, mourning clothes and the exclamation of i'oor child," with which joyful greet- I ing people would lay tiieir hands sancti- 1 fvinuly upon my head, sigh deeply, aud put their handkerchiefs to their eyes; then I too would begin to cry-but iu secret was awfully glad to be living. It was a tenacious feeling within my little this happy love of life, for if not even the institute, where my guardian placed me for my education, could root it out, it is but a sure proof that it was not to be rooted out. Not even now, where I have made kn iwn the grey color in which my old" womanhood is dipped, and where I am about to dish up the gloomy recollections of my vouth, which will yet contain a row of not even now can I succeed in striking up a plaintive tone, but spe ik of these melauebolv thinoaas if they were in tended for the Fi nl' Walter, aud am withal in excellent spirits.

To resume then my odd story. For many years I stayed with the Sisters, where I had to pray all day for poor souls, cry all day for poor sinners, and meditate all day on the hour of our death. But that happy spark of life within this child-heart could not be extinguished by the cold aira'f a convent; it glimmered on and rejoiced in the hour when it could blaze up the hour when the convent doors would open. At length came the day when my guardian a good elderly gentleman who had been in the habit of visiting me in the audience hall four times a year arrived to take me away. A wonderful joy filled my breast.

seemed as though it could burst for very happiness. Away, away beyond the walls into a new and unknown world iu which one can laugh nd jump It was too grand, Tuhay! My guardian took me to his home in the country, where he lived, both summer and winter, with an elderly sister, and a seveuty-five-year-old mother. That life in the residence was, an especially gy or lively one, be asseited. The head of the house was sickly, his sister a sour, iilhumored old maid, and the ancient mother (is in soul I called her, in distinction from the word obi) was lame and blind. The guests of the house were the pas tor, a very strict gentleman; the doctor, a very serious gentleman; a pensioned General, a great pettifogger, and an impoverished widow of nobility, a very melancholy lady, I need hardly say that croquet, charades, dancing and flirtations were not practiced in our midst, and yet the cuckoo but knows or rather the mocking bird, liveliest of all our feathered friends whence I derived my liveliness.

I was so very happy amidst these surroundings. The lovely park, the woods in which I could roam at will, the chicken yard, the cow baro, the pretty village, everything filled me with delight. I knew nothing of the world, and believed it to be a large eentref iu which i held my existence. The others might take pleasure ia being morose and gloomy. 1 1 was always frol icsome, alwaj-s laughing, ever happy.

0 ic morning my guardian called me into his study. "Dear Angelina," said he, "I have a communication to make to you. Your fortune over which I had no free rights of administration, but which, according to the testamentary decision of your parents well what is there to laugh about he said interrupting himself. "A fly has just seated itself on the tip of your nose, uncle." 1 gave my guardian this title, although there was no relationship between us. He shook his head impatiently, which caused the fly to fly away, and continued: "Which, according to the testamentary disposition of your parents, was deposited in the bank of Meyer Company.

Had I been asked I should never have sanctioned it, despite its heavy interest. The safest investments are in landed property." "Landed property said in orde to show that I was listeriog.

"I'll tell yon haw it was," said my friend. "I was in the theater that night and occupied the box next to that in which the Prince of Wales sat. During the performance he sent word to Miss nderson that be would be glad to call on her between the acts. Miss Anderson replied that it was impossible for ber to receive any one between the acts, but that she would be glad to see His Royal Highness at the close of the performance.

'Oh, she replied, 'I wasn't afraid of on, but it's wholly impossible for me to see any one between the "The Prince made a courteous reply, and there tbe matter ended bat I think I may assure yon that Miss Anderson understands too well what is due to her own dignity and that of others to think of 'snubbing' the Prince of Wales or any one else."
