A good hint to those who have a tear in their dress is to darn it as near as possible like the weave of the cloth with a thread af the material iteelf. When using valuable vases for table decorations fill them with sand, for this makes them stand firmly, and renders them far less liable to be knocked over and brokea. You can take iron rust out of cloth very successfully by putting lemon juice on the spot and ap- plying a hot fiat iron; sometimes it is necessary to repeat the appli- cation.

Of buttercups a golden foam Rose high above the luscious loam. There, in a field beyostcl the lane, She wove a dainty daisy -chain. Ali! shall I ever meet again The lass who wove a daisy -chain? The next time that I saw her there,i Lovely as spring -time, and as fair, Again a chain of stars she wove, That bound my heart in links ef love. But time had changed the little maid Into a damsel, prirn and staid, To timid stniles ad blushes fain, Who thought ' not ef a daisy-chain Oh, what joy to meet again The lass who wove a daisy -chain! And non' when I look round and see Thc joys that liie has brought to me, With .,wife and weans, to keep afire The light that led my young desire, I ponder, as, I thank the Fates That hid beyond those rustic gates, And close my eyes and see again The goddesi' with the daisy,chain.

Golden Text, 24. 7, Verse 1. Darius—He was the general, apparently the Greek. name Gobryas beiag similar le form)) who was in command of the combined forces of Persia and Me- dia, when Babylon Was eaptered, He took control of the eity as gov- ereer, The statements coecereing him, here and in other parts of the book, exhibiting him as a royal' pereenage ruling over an extensive kingdom, are difficult to under; stand in light of the knowu histoeri of these times. There may be some eordusion between this man and the Darius Hystaepes of the book of Ezra, the father of Xerxes. Satraps—A. steietly Persien word fperg a ruler of a province. The -word is found frequently also ie Ezra and Esther. 2, Presidents—Priuces. A word leered nowhere else in the Old Tee-, tnment except in this ehapter.

All the presidents—Daniel, of eaurse, was excepted; it is easy believc, intentionally. The enum- eration of all the chief °Myers oi the realm gave the plot the seni. blance of unanimous action. A royal statute—Although the ending men had consulted to es- tablish this decree, their meaning was, of course, that they intended to prevail upon the king to estab- lish it. It was a monstrous propo- sition. Only a ruler who was easily induced by flatteey would coesetnt to be exalted in this fashion above God and man. It is remarkable that Darius should have failed to consult his chief minister and ad- viser on a matter of such moment. The den of lions—The den was a sort of pit, er vault. Lions were kept for the chase. 8. That it be not changed — The unalterebleness of the edicts of the Medes and Persians, properly signed and sealed by the royal hand, has become proverbial (Esther 1. 19, 8. 8). 9.^ King Darius signed the writ- ing ---It seems absurd that any king in his right senses should consent -to a law that might easily be brok- en by every one of his subjects without his knowing it. He was sioonon. to see the stupidity of his ac - t10. When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went—It was not likely that such a decree would make any difference at all to a, man who had served God through all his career in ft hea- then land. The trial did not come to him in youth as it did to his three companions. He was an old man. His habit of a lifetime, which took him thrice daily to the roof chan3- ber supplied with windows open toward Jerusalem in the direction of devotion (1 Kings 8. 44). was not to, be thwarted by devices of men. NO doubt he saw through the plot against him, and his courageous spirit rose in rebellion.

Be etiattioats lest yam be evereau tious. Fear to stifle any *truth. All human culture rests on a wil- lingness to make sacrifices to the truth. In proportion ae soeicty b enlightened, personality acecreie gle: influiseee. The best means for defeating a good Ca1150 is to attach to it the idea, of vulgarity. Other systems were framed for communities; Christianity ap- proached men as individuals, It is hard for a elass of men to respect themselves who are denied respect by all around them. It was the entire and patient re- linquishment of immediate ;success which throws the most solemn grnndeur aver the 'character of ris th Jesus. The friends of moral truth, of temperance, and virtue must not resort to party; they raust speak in the tone of the friend of their race. It is the boast of Christianity that it is impossible to trace its origin to the love of power, that master passion in the _authors of false religions. Public opinion cannot do for vir- tue what it does for vice. It is the essence of virtue to look above opinion. Vice strengthens itself by entire subserviency to it. Our chief hope of an improved literature rests an our hopes of an improved religion. A religion ac- ceptable to the intellect must work - mightily upon the intellect. We doubt whether a man ever brings his faculties to bear with their whole force on a subject un- til he writes upon it for the instruc- tion or gratification of others. THE "SIXTH SENSE." The repertecl quest of a "sixth sense" is not the first ettempt of the sort; for about five years ago, Professor 'Watson, of the University of Chicago, performed an operation that excited the interest of the me- dical world. The subject of the experiment was a rat, and by means ef vivisection he destroyed the five senses ef the rat without killing it. The animal was then turned loose, end it found its way to food. This, Professor Watson ,elaimeel, proved the existence of a sixth sense, which he believed to he common to both men and animals. He called it the Sense of Direction. And much ear- lier, Professor Alex. Bain, of the Lrniversity of Aberdeen, wrote.: "The feelings connected with move- ments of the body OT aofions of the, muscles have to be recognized as a distinct class, and, by some meta- physicians, as proceeding from a sixth or ratiscular sense.," construction on th0 o 'env to quitc for three clays.
