HIS DEVOTIONS,
The orjan pa.!s, the choir is slnlnrf;
I wonder if she knows Tm here!
Her thoughts, no doubt, are upward winginy.
While mine sink, clogged with doubt and fear.
Tls she, of course; there's no mistaking
Her crowded, glossy braids of brown.
And that's the bonnet she was making
I sat and watched her bead the crown.
How deft her fingers are how busy!
Ah! happy man within whose home
But, stay! such thoughts, they make me dizzy.
And have no plaoe within this dome.
Far better should I ponder grimly
My faults committed, duties missed.
How neat her giove Is, and how trimly
It buttons round her slender wrist!
Ah!
vain and poor is earthly pleasure:
No wonder 1
that our sail hearts yearn
To some mor&high and lasting treasure
They're sitting down. Perhaps she'll turn.
Thank Heaven, she sees me! She is flinging
A sweet rrprwaehful gluauc my way
Yes. dear. Indeed I have been singing.
And now, my saint. I mean to pray!

this was all easy and delightful, if it
could only have lasted!

wnose nrst uuiy to ner parents lay in
making an eligible match ! This would
never do. But die worldly-wise lady re
flected that Captain Talbot's visit" was
only to hut three days' longer, and with I
true art appeared blissfully content with
the position. The nijrht before he went
away the suitor applied to ilr. Hope,
and begeed to have his prayer favorably
answered;
and he (ha vine received his
brief from his wife) temporized irentlv:
spoke of youth, changeable atfections,
and so on, and said ne could not at
present give a definite answer.
"ilay I hope?" asked the suitor.
"H you like," said the father; and
nothing could have ended better. Lilian i
waved li damp pocket-handkerchief from I
her window, and the knight "rodej
away."
A month later Jack was ordered to
Egypt, and ilrs. Hope thoucht it hishlv
probable that all her difficulties would
be removed by the Egyptians. If not,
time was gained at any rate, and Lilian
was growing handsomer every day.
"My dear," said ilr. Hope, one even
ing, "Lord Blackmoor is evidently struck
with Lilian."
"So I see," responded the wife, smiling
complacently.
"Ishouldn't be surprised if he spoke
shortly.
"So much the better."
"But, ah how about the other fel
low?" queried Mr. Hope, uneasily.
"Nothing about him," said Mrs. Hope,
resolutely; "he must not be mentioned."
"Lord Blackmoor is very old."
"He will make the better husband."
"Lilian is a beautiful, warm-hearted
girl!" faltered the father.
"Had she not been beautiful a coronet
would not be offered her."
"But. Harriet you and I were both
young when we married."
Mrs. Hope calmly fixed her fine eyes
on the ceiling, and her husband saw sen
timent would find no response.
And so, while Jack was bronzine his
handsome face, and fightine for his coun- i . t0 turn a? regular detail in assum
try in Eevpt. his Lilian was desired to ! m? the ean garb and ying mien ot the

eighteen. But these things haDpen, so
we must contemplate them.
It would be useless to describe how the
net was woven round the victim, how she
was watched and guarded as they trav
eled throughout their autumn tour. Be
tween her mother and Lord Blackmoor
It was arranged that the wedding should
th
isxe piace in .LeeemDer, and in
meantime a rumor came that Captain
Talbot was killed.
The Hopes' return took place the end
of November, and the old bridegroom
elect was to come there in December.
He arrived, and to the cirl seemed more
distasteful than ever. He followed her
about with an affectation of youthful
ardor, which sorely warred with eout
and dyspepsia.
"Mamma," said the frenzied Lilian,
"if you don't keep him awav from me
owt Til say 'no' at the altar!" And,
fearing this was true, Mrs. Hope rejoiced
In an attack of gout which confined the
old nobleman to his room,where she
treated him with flattery and devotion.
So then the poor girl wandered down
to the boathouse. It was half a mile
from the house, and there was a snugly
furnished iron room there, where tea
things and spirit lamps were kept. Lilian
bad often made tea here in the happv
summer; and now she entered the room,
which struck cold and damp from long
disuse, and throwing herselt in a chair
sobbed as if her heart were breaking.
The floods were up, and the river
looked like stormy lead. Little islands
viable in summer now lav buried under
the rushing waters. No "flowers, no s,m-
thine all like her own life, blank, itarfc
despair.
A footstep outside made Lilian start
up quickly. It was the postman on his
way to the house.
"Have you any letters for me?" aked
the girl.
"Yes, Miss, surely," said the man, and
he found three, handed them to her,
and passed on.
Lilian re-entered the iron room, sank
on the sofa, and with trembling bands
tore open one it was from Jack! As
she read it, she found that other letters
had been sent to her who had had
them? Jack, who was in London, said
he was fast recovering from his wounds,
and that he had determined to come
down and hear from her own lips that
she gave him up. And he concluded bv
saying he would be at the boathouse bv

neared the Doathouse, she saw a tall,
well-known figure keepine out of the

violently that she could scarcely go on,
and then the lover threw caution to the
winds, and in another few seconds all
that was needful was told, and the old,
old story went on as smoothly as if no
old Lord Blackmoor existed.
Late that night, after Mrs. Hope and
the servants Sad gone to bed, Lilian
sought her father in the library.
"jly dear girl, what is the" matter?"
he cried, nervously, as the fair form of
his daughter, robed in a light blue
dres3ing-gown, suddenly appeared, and
sat downon his footstool.
"Papa, Jack isn't dead," whispered
Lilian, fixing her lovely eyes on ilr.
rsope's wondering countenance, and
fondling his hand.
"Isn't he, my dear?" helplessly in
quired the old gentleman, who had been
aware of the fact for some time.

"Never, my love; never as long as I
know nothing about it," hastily cried
the father, kissing the pretty up-turned
face, and adding m a whisper, "Talbot is
the soul of honor, and I can trust him."
In the crev morning it was iliss Hope's
habit to take a walk. :?he took one next
morning, and a muiHed figure emerged

About AluisGiTin
Almost everybody will give something,
a quarter or a penny, to an old man, to
an apparently sick or lame man, to a
woman who carries a babe, to a pale
little girl, or to a boy who recites his
tale of woe. Christian people who have
i heard that giving to the poor is lending
!to the Lord, and nearly all people,
whether Christian or not, who have
much respect for much-abused texts, are
apt to surrender a dime or a nickel to
i some, if not nearly all, who ask. The
dole is small, and a big heart has an un
comfortable way of reproaching its owner
for refusal. Thus the beggar wins, and
beggary gets its continued lease of life.
It required years to convince us that
there is no charity so thoroughly kind as
that which uniformly and unhesitatingly
refuses to give at random. There is not
a doubt that refusal is always best in
cities, and just about best In the country
also. The study has been a sad one to
us, but kind, firm refusal is not onlv beat
but a dutv. Nothinsr in the land is bet
ter organized than the science and art of
j i
beirgary. The de-ervinir may rely upon
heTp by city societies which investigate
every applicant. Moreover, every county
in the land has its poor-fund, and save in
exceptional cases, which may occur in
any place save Heaven, no worthy person
need surier for bread or shelter.
Abuses of alms are enough to tempt a
man to bruise the beggar for making
merchandise of human pity. We know
of a case wherein a begging family lived
! H1 aI.most h"ur-v in a. S.d hl?.m.e' The-V
v
I the home to which, through the alley.
! cautious investigators were led to view
the ready provided rags, bunk and simu
lated misery. Women borrow sick chil
dren to point their lying story; lameness
is assumed, and cash earnings are spent
for drink or sensual gratification. We
once paid a man to watch a "maimed,
blind man" all dav. The report was
, that about four hundred people gave at
least a penny eaun, auu. some prooaoiy
gave half-dimes, or more. Our estimate
of receipts was from six to eight doll-irs
i a senator's salary. The man limped
into a back street and suddenly throwing
j oifall disguise, saw his joyful way home
spent the evening in a saloon and went
! to bed drunk. Ofd clothes are begged and
I often sold to the second-hand dealer. In
j some cases baskets of cold food are sold
i to nether-world restaurants; in other are
j vended to those who feed them to chick
I ens or pigs. We have seen a man in the
street superintending, at a distance, a
half dozen children who separately ap
plied tor loou "tor a starving tamily,
and whose collected victuals" were sold
for cash. The devices of these lying
cheats assume fifty forms. It is ajust
rule never to give money or food unless
the latter is eaten in your sight. Even
in the latter case, it is better to make the
beggar earn the food by some little work
before eating.
Shall we, therefore, have no "bowels of
compassion?" That is not the alterna
tive. Give to some poor fund, but never
j even to that, unless it will, in your stead,
i closely investigate every applicant. The
citizens of the smallest village can better
r i A..i . t r i
"'T..H,.W.!?ne on m g? n
to give at random. A great curse is that
soft hearts unwittingly support a profes
sion which attracts people to mendicancy
and mendacity. The crowning curse is
in the destruction of manhood by bring
ing up a race that abandons self-help.
The wretch who will not earn his dinner
by the wayside by sawing wood or raking
a yard should be sent away hungry.

EN0WCT6 HOW TO obserte.
There is hardly any subject concerning-
which most persons of general, but
not of special, culture would more re
sent the oiler of inslru tion, than that
of how to observe. Observation seems
to be the mere opening of the eyes, and
letting the outer worlaphotogntph itself
in the dark camera of the mind. Even
j the year-old i hild. whose reasoning pow
ers are as yet undeveloped, can note and
j follow with tho eye and ear and hand the
movements whi h iro on within its little
sphere. And that notinjrand following
sem to come to the child instinctively
and easily, rather than to be the result
of any onsc'o :s attempt at learning
how to use its powers of o servation.
Is it any wonder, then, that grown-up
persons," who can thoroughly enjoy their
book or their niasra'ine. should feel
that the ofier to teach them how to see
things partakes of the nature of an
insult?
Yet, as a matter of fa -t, there is hard
ly any subject in which the need of in
struction is greater. The man who has
not been prepared by a .-pecial course
of tiaininsr, or by a .special experience,
tc see things aright in a given sphere,
is sure to mix up what he sees with
what he thinks he sees, and what he
feels about the subject in hand. He is
prettv ure to note carefully the things
which have little meaning, and to let
some of the essentials a unnoted.
Take an extreme example. A cloud
gathers in the autumn evening round
some mountain head, and at last drifts
slowly ofl into the sky. Two observers
have watched the "formation of that
cloud; the one a child, the other a me
teoroltgist. Ask the child what he
saw. ami he may give you some such
account as this: "-Oh! I saw stt-am c ra
ing out of a hole in the tup of the
mountain. I saw the hole .juite plainly;
and there was boiling water in the hole.
There was smoke mixed with thes earn,
and bv and bv it became a black cloud.
I guess it's a burning mountain, and
that 's where all the clouds come from."
One who lisened to that ae- .
count would hardly know what the
child saw, aud what he did not see.
Glance, on the other hand, at the note
book of the scientific observer. You
will find that he has noted points of
wh.ch the child never dream d. but
which are essentia! to the understand
ing of the formation of that cloud. H:s
memoranda will tell you of the varying
degrees of temperature ami of the hu
midity of the atmosphere during the
time of the observation. The exact
position of the mountaiu summit has
been noted its relatiuus to the mountain-masses
around it. aud its di-tanee
from the sea or other bodes of water.
So far as possible, the direction, fon-e
and heights of the prevailing air-cur-reuts.
and the electrical condition of
the earth anil the atmosphere, have
been found and noted. This observer
knows that the exilanatiou of what is
peculiar in the formation of that par
ticular cloud may lie in any one of a
hnndred visible o-operatin causes,
not one of whieh the ignorant or care
less observer would either see or note.
So he registers everything even the
most trivial, which may adect the work
ing out of the problem.
Such careful and conse'entious ob
servation as this consorts well with the
historical and etymological associations
ot the world. Observation, in the vo
cabulary of the Romans, was the special
name for that reverent, patient atten
tion which the scholar owes to his teach
er. To-day the leaders of physical sci
ence preser. e the honorable meaning of
the word when they restrict is to the
scholar-like noting of the phenomena of
nature, and refuse to give it to the master-like
handling of nature iu experi
ment. And the importance, even in
physical researches, of this reverent
teachableness, is seen in the fact that
there is no wr ter on the method of sci
ence, from Bacon down to Whewell and
Jevons, who has not devoted a great
part of his treatise to the discussion and
elucidation of this seemingly simple sub
ject. The first step towards- knowing how
to observe is to find out how remiss one
us allv i3 in this line. Copv as careful-
lv as vou can a word or two in some
complex character which you do not
know, such as the Arabic or the San
scrit. Be sure that you have an exact
reproduction of the head-line which you
have chosen: then take it to some one
who is familiar with the language of.the
writing. Unless you are a far more
accurate observer than most men are.
your friend wid have to show you that
you have perversely exaggerated the
non-essential forms and slurred over the
essential. Or you can test yourself in a
hundred dillerent ways. You remarked
upon the beautj of the church-building
which you passed yesterday. Can yoii
tell how many pillars clustered about its
porch? Did you note wh-ther they
were of the Ionic or of the Corinthian
order? Then that strangely spelled
word which you encountered in your
mag zine readtng lost week are "you
able to-day to write its spellmgon-ha"nd.
and to give its meaning and proper pro
nun iation?
When you have found ont how care
less you are in your reading of the
things which exist and the deeds which
are done around you. you will be the
better prepared to irain yourself to
habits of systematic observation. At
first nay, all through your course of
training you will have to look out for
a trap at every step of the path : you
must be perpetually calling the mind to
attention. Ivnowing that you are liable
to be content with vague impressions
and a sreneral surface knowledge, you
must determine to scrutinize everything;
strictly, almost painfully. When you
seem to yourself to have noted all that
is to be noted, stop and a.k yourself.
What if I am asked about th's or that
detail? Yon must be cont nually looking
out for what.the old logicians called the
differentia of the thing the something
which distinguishes it from every other
thing of thesame kind. hen vou have
found that, you will generally have
found at hat is worth knowing about that
thing.
Aad in doing all this you must not

ocservanou. nether your neia ot
work be the world of books, of nature.
or of men, you must approach it in a
spirit of humble and reverent teach
ableness in a spirit of respectful
patience. In this sphere, as in every
other, "God reslsteth the proud, hut
giveth grace unto the humble." The
moment you begin to feel proud of your
own powers; the moment yo l begin, to
feel that vou are a master, and not a
j learner that moment you are in danger
i ot tailing: into some fatal nesrle t or
making some irremediable error. Use
the finest instrument and the best help
you can procure; cultivate your power
of analysis to the very keenest: let your
criti ism be searching and unsparing;:
but let this all 1 e done, not in a spirit
of self-confidence or self-seeking, but
with quiet i onfidence in Him who" is the
source of all truth.
This habit of careful observation will
save you from many an error: it will
bring you closer to the sources of knowl
edge. "The fountains are sweeter at
their source." says the old proverb;
ever day of faithful work will tea h
you the better to appre iate the- truth
fulness of this saying. There will be a
rare i harm in knowledge gained thus,
which is wanting, in all rcere hearsay
knowledge; your knowledge will be

Sir Peter and the Cow.
While in Montreal I heard a story of
Sir Peter Mitchell, member of Parlia
ment for New Brunswick, of whom I
spoke in a recent letter. He was an
opposition member during the lamenta
ble Governmen of Sir John Mackenzie
in the 1 it decade, and was a con tant
a d most uncomfortaYe t ora in the
side of that unhappy Premier. Sir
John was a conspicuous rai road mag
nate, and just before the opening o"
Parliament one winter Sir Peter cal ed
on him to in 'uee him to pay forty dol
lars for a widow's cow that had been
run over by the car-. I dou't believe
there's anything in it." exclaimed the
Prem'er. peiemptorily; it'- prob.ib y a
trumped-up case, but 1 il in- juire. and
you ea to-morrow.""
The gent eman from New Brunswick
was not u ed to being; treated so cava'
ier v. but he pocketed it. and called in
the morning.
"There's no justice in it. We won't
pay or the cow," broke in Sir John.
"You won't: won't you?" rejoi ed
Sir Peter, with a manner quite as bounc
ing as 'hat of the "eaderot the Govern
ment. "Have you been there, or sent
there and investigated it?"
"No. 1 haven't; but I won't pay for
the cow. It's a mere trifle, and" she
ought to have keptotTthe track."
"Don't the law say you shall have a
fence?"
-I won't pay for the cow, now; and
that's all the answer yo i'II set.77
"You won't pay tor the widow's cow:
. won't you. Sir John Mackenzie i I will
make you pay for it." exclaimed Sir
Peter, now tho.t nghlv aroused.
' "You will; you will! How will you?"
grow ed the Premier.
"Til take it out during the session,
as sure as you are a living man. The
widow's fortv dol ar- isn t anything,
isn't it? I'll'take it out o'' y.u!"
It w.as an Irishman against a S otch

slaughts were furious. If he had not
grea" t.:ct he had great for e. and he
never forgot the ow. In the spee lies
he made every day against the measures
and methods ot the Government, then
under serious siispuion. he told the
story of the cow and trotted her out
with" a frequency that must have seemed
like cruelty to aninials.
Finally the last day of the session
dawned, and the consideration of Mac
kenzie's expense budget was resumed.
It provi Jed the appropriations for the
coming year.
Sir Peter Mit; hell took the t'oor and
launched into a eulogy of the deceased
cow anil the propriety of making an
appropriation for the widow. He was
greeted with laughter and mocking
apulause, and then his auditors waited
uneasily for him to finish. He did not
finish. " He continued. He told the
story over again with embellishments
and elaborations. He outrasted the
stingine-s of the wea.thy ruler with
the quiet enduran e of the penniless
wi.'ow. He began to read from the
Bible the commands to raery. justice
and charity, when the honorable mem
bers straggled out one by one to dinner.
Sir Peter bit a buscuit. drank a swallow
of water, and continued, impressing
ution the empty chars about him the
tender duties and graces of humanitv.
Members straggled in again. He quot
ed the Song of the Shirt. They ap
pealed to him to draw his remarks to a
close. He told the story of the cow.
Meantime, ir John Ma kenzie was
perspiring with wrath and anxiety in the
Premier's apartment har I by. Ad his
hopes were bound n- in the a pro
pria; on budget. What if it should not
come to a vote ! The honorable member
from New Brunswick could not be stop
ped, for this was the one bill in the
Canadian Parliament on which a mem
ber could speak as long as he wished.
There was no way of cutting short the
debate. No motion was in order while
he was speaking;, except the motion to
adjourn an I that would be adjourn
ment iuie lie. The Government mem
bers were ia consternation as the orator
delivered a speech on the blessings of
vaccnation. gave statist cs on the coat
of fences in the United States, passed
an elaborate encomium on thu su erior
ity, for draft purposes, of Devon cattle,
to" which class the de eased ''omestic
friend of thebere ued w dow belonged,
and then began to describe the religious
ceremonies in which the sacred cow of
Burmah takes pan. when the bell rang
for vespers'. A short time more an ! the
season would expire by law. and the
Government had passed no appro ria
tion bill !
At this critical jun -ture one of the
Government members rem ned excited
ly from the Premier's room, rushe I to
the orator's desk, and exclaimed : "In
the name of God. what ails vou, Mitch
ell? What do you want?"" Still."
said Sir Teter. finishing the sentence he
had on his lips' "not a cent has ever
been paid for the wi low's cow!" The
member uttered a vehement exclama
tion about that animal.and ade i : " Sir
John Mackenzie authorize? me to say j
that he will pay for the cow if you'll let !
this bill come to a vote." " j
Sir Peter sat down, rather tired, and I
the widow got her pay. The tovern- i
ment organs declared "that the willow's
cow cost 40.000. Her champion is still
