Whatever knowledge they may possess is more commonly acquired by observa- tion bservertion than by reading.—Ruseesu. It is with • word as an arrow—the arrow untie loosed does not return to the bow; nor the word to the lips. If you should never worry about a misfortune until it actually happens, you would be tar more cheerful than you are. We borrow trouble u naturally as we would like to borrow money. The time is short. This gives value to life. It gives emphasis to prayer. They pray the hest who pray and watch; they watch the best who watch and pray. So says the poet. Faithful servants keep their ceaseless vigils. Maly of isesenlag. Natures, of course, differ widely, and there are some who, (probably to comas - quence of having been aocustemed from their earliest years ti, regard black as the eublein of death and sadness) find some amount of relief and comfort in wearing mourning when a friend dies, sad feel a satisfaction in marking the especial event with especial garments. But all are not of the saute way of think- ing, and there are meat whose inclin- ations are just the reverse. The curt of self-consciousness and etrengeness o feeling which usually accompany brand new clothes are distasteful to them in a time of trouble, and they wish ouly to go about in whatever they are in the habit of wearing, without any fuss,, or alteration. Sorrow may be none the lees true and deep because it shrinks from ostentatious parade, --from wearing i the heart on the sleeve, for laws to peck at: it may feel that the inadequacy of outward signs to give it expression makes any attempt at doing so a mere mockery, and may prefer to conceal it- self, as far u posaible, under its wonted exterior. How can real grief be repre- sented eprosented fittingly by crape and hat -band's t l And if no real grief exist, then the whole affair is nothing but a miserable exhi- bition of humbug and hypocrisy,—an appeal to the world for sympathy, and commiseration upon false pretenoes. What sort of sorrow is felt by relatives who say, "Oh ! we must put the children into mourning for Uncle So-and•so,— he's left us something in his will"; or else, "I shan't trouble anout black for Cousin Such-an-one,—he's left me nothing"; as the case may bet It would be surely more honest for such pretended mourners as these to assume signs of re- joicing or woe, according as they do or do not find themselves the possessors of fresh riches. Even when sorrow is really felt, its intensity and duration will not be alike in all cases whore the re- lationship is the same, because no two husbands and wives, brothers and sisters or other relations, IF love one another in exactly the same -degree; and on this account, there must necessarily be some- ' thing foolish and unreal in a practice which aa.umes that the depth and extent of regret may be reckoried on according to nearness of kin. More or leu of shoppiness and hollowness is almost in- separable from the wearing of mourning, according to the present custom; yet there is that about death which is apt to put human nature essentially out of tune for all that is artificial and sham. No plant or tree can grow by inherent ability, apart from sun soil, moisture, and the like. No animal can do u sim- ple a thing as breathing by inherent ability; he must have air. In just the same way, passing to what is spiritual, God cannot be loved save as he offered to love, in qualities that will awaken and support love. Perfect purity of intention is the highest spiritual state, • state which probably, the holiest man has never reached, but to which all children of God are in different measures approxima- ting. Are we striving for his purity of intention, praying for it, Laboring for it, seeking to bring the whole of our spirit. ual life to this standard ? She fashions. White lace stockings are worn over those of tinted silk to match the dress with rich evening toilets. Woven laces are now used for lawns and muslin, also for sheer wool goods, and are n considered shams. A very large Alsatian bow of dark red plush, held by a gilt ornament, is worn in the hair with morning toilets.

Tea TeariC (mange. Mr. Macdougall has gone up to Man- itoba. The last time Mr. Macdougall went up to Manitoba he went to take possession of the country as the otcial representative of the pominion Govern- ment. But there was an obstacle in the way; in fact there were two .obstacles. One was '`that blawated fence," and the other was Riel, the leader or the re- bellion. This was ten years ago. Mani- toba has become an important place sine then. It has taken long strides in the march of civilization, and Mr Mac- dougall will find few things to remind him of the rebellion. He will see push and prosperity on all hands. which he certainly would not have seer if he had succeeded in gaining access to the coun- try before. Mr. Cauchon is the present lieutenant -governor. but his time will ex- pire in 1882. The impression in Mani- toba is .aid to be that Mr. Macdougall will succeed him. Thus does the whirli• gig of time bring in its revenges. —[To - tent) Telegram.
