Speak- ing amoment apart from the commend - tricots of God, we do not ellow it to come into our thought that we can really love everybody with a great, deep, full love. But every man has a right to justice, to faithfulness. The veriest wretch that ever crept is onea level with ray own children wifin itemises to justiee and faithfulness. Oh, blessed be God, His love is suck that He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins ! It Is no loupe Whet I am, it is what He is ; it is no longer what my Claim upon Him may be, it is that the claim is made strong by His own character, faithful and just to forgive us our sins," Whet think ye of a love like this Now, as I come to Him with the lavadJesus. eau take me freely to His very heat ; end eau give me the kiss of His peace, and eau say unto Inc ; " lima art my child aud I can thy Father," Lay bola a it, my foot dome_ and say That is just what I want."

And lam let temettler the bleitied relatioaltip. I read in my tirst Jesuit this morning the beautiful stoxy of adoption. You rememberhow there came the daughter of Pharaoh, shaded aud fanned by her sett rants, and as She MVOS along the riveeti bank eees the rough, rude cradle in amongst the rushes and the nodding reeds, lapped ley the waters of the river, She Rends her maiden tofetch, she opens it with curious wonder,. and in collies the light of day upon a little lave AS beautiful as God ever made. There it lay sleeping she looked at it aud then, 'darted by. the sound of voiette the little thiug work up, and, frightened by the ring of faees that gathered about it, mud in terror, All the NV01110.11 in the heart Of that fait' priucess leapt up, mid taking the child she preseed it to her bosom, that fair and lovely little one, mid sad " shall he utV SOIL" A beitut Ma picture of adoption ! But / cannot help feeling, as I read that story, the awful contrast -our t:oa looking upon us and seeing not the goodly child, ha ll the sin, all the things that must lappal and disguet and sicken Him with us, all the things that one would. think would matte Hun turn His eye away from us, so that He odd never look again. That story of adoption is very beautiful but, after the princess would be sure to feel : Ali, what a, great gulf there is between us 1" Occasionally some old menn ory of the Hebrews would come back, some otel trait of diameter that belonged to his former ; and though he might be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, he was his mother's son for all that. Thank God for something More than adoption -that the Spirit of the living God comes upon yott and me, and that born again, male partakers of the Divine nature, we are bronght right into the family of our God. ;4 g • eittei him one tetraitg unsaid peen! rO•1! iSf•Wto.5,:• 141 2515lt5o425144 ; , 1144'.114 triaegtil tr t Ws. 110::•.t nietsitig, bitt tan pt tir, Lev leete,„ fitted with ,45,11 •• • ',41 WM' 11141.4,' Itet`are...11 t iltitori t1:14; .1.11W 215 4155,,, 15 1.10).ic W15•4 ,11.1.:1:0 .1 ."

One of the greatest difficulties foiled in cooking for the sick is the " something for a change," and that will tempt the appetite. The following receipts are reliable and will form an agreeable change: POTATO Stn.:PRISE, -Take a firm, medium- sized potato wesh, end out the small end partly off, leaving attached just enaugl to form a little hinge scoop nut part of the raw potato, fill witti'beef or rn-atton that has Army Manceuvres in France, The grand matut•uvres of the troops in the North of Finite° this fall have raised eome very curious and important questions in military science, The use of the smokeless powder deprives strategists in a great Inca. sure of one of the chief means of determin- ing ATI enemer's position. In this respect it Carries back the art of war towards the primitive times when men fought • with arrows. Many things that lately were eom- paratively of but littleimportance in attract- ing the enemy's attention 11111St 11.0W be look- ed after and evoitled. Some discussion is going on about uniforms : for example Does the color red more than others catch the eye at a considerable distance, as has been believed? Late experience, seems to show that either very tight or very dark colors are more easily seen. than red in ; such a case. In the French manatuvres ofteu the battalions of chasseurs could be made out when infantry could not ; and the busts of the men clad in their dark jack- ets were discernible when their heads and legs could not be seen. This, of course, was at great distance ; below 3,000 or 1,500 metres it made little difference. Still, since battles arelikely more ancl maeto be fought at long range, red uniforms may be foand, to possess some advantages. In the United States civil war the red trousers of the 'Lot -L- aves were, we believed, looked on with dis. favor as offering too good a target for the enemy, a.nd also as inducing bine to aim low- er, and. so avoid overshooting. But this was at rather dose quarters. More than of any- thing else soldiers are likely to learn to ricl themselves of everything tthite and of every- thing that glitters. Often in the Nord a sparkling line could he made out in the dis- tance where nothing else could be distill- guished. 'This:wits caused by the 'flashing of officers' sabres; and from their number and disposition a very good guess could he made as to the importance of the opposing force. Sabres and bayonets will have to be bronzed in future, as well as camp utensils ; tents, also, must be no longer white, nor the men's havelockS nor officers' pugarees. AProposofthesequestions, which the Temps has been dieussing, a cow reepondent writes te it to point out that it was precisely because its color attracted legs attention, even. under the shining skies of Italy, that Garibaldi chose the red shirt for a uniform for himself and his men. the better : lese talk and more warm the z but pity is a, lintel. way behind love.

The Gov ernment of New Zealand is apparently anxious to acclimatise the chamois, and in order to execute this laudable object asked Parliainent for a vote of 11 1 50. When the vote came up for discussion an honourable member, named Kerr, rose in righteous in- dignation and demanded further information. "1 should like to hear from the et °vermeil e exactly what these shammies' are. I van told that they are a cross between a pig and a sheep, and that they breed scab." " There is a book about them in the library," polite- ly replied a member on the other side of the House. " go and fetch ie for you." Mr. Kerr, touched by this act of courtesy, gra- cioasly received the volume and began read- ing out, in a pompous voice, the passage pointed out to him -a famous passage from one of the weeks of the eminent nitsturalist &nand Clemens, better known to many of his, readers as Mark Twain As the reading proceeded, the House quickly realised the joke. Not so Mr. Kerr. When he came to the statementthat the " chamois 18 150 bigger than a mustard seed," he Stopped himself, and glaring on the Heath, tow roaring with laughter, fiercely . asked, " What do we want with anneals like that in New Zealand ?

Profes- sor Vesseloyski found painted human beees in two, graves -six- skeletons in one grave and one in another, The well:known arde ceologist, Professor G render, of Bresa, *it° was present last winter at the 'Coegvess of Archenbigists 18 Moscow is of opinion that thea graves belonged to the original inhab- itants of the Crimea, the Chameleons of Her- odaus. It was a usage with them to lag thew dead on elevated Spots, so ,that the birds ;might consume the flesh: When quite Idea:died, they painted the skeletons with somemineralpigment. Graves containing such painted skeletons have been found in Ceara). Asia, ha only in a few instances. Only three shell graves bed been previously foatal in the Crimen. Professor Grempler proposes to take the skeletons, with him to iteris, and exhibit them at the Congress of Anthropologists to be held there daring the autumn.
