A. little incident, -it is a tine story, -occurred a few years ago in Philadelphia, which has its significance f •r our readers. The owner of a large retail store gave a holiday to all bis employees, in the middle of June. Cashiers, foremen, salesmen and women, casb boys and porters, all were in- vited to spend the day on the ground of the country seat owned by their employer. Tents were erected, a bountiful dinner and supper were provided, a band of music was stationed in a grove, and special trains were obnrtere'1 to parry the guests to the country and home again. Nothing else was talked of for weeks before the httppy day. The saleswomen, most of whom were young, anxiously planned their dreeeee, and bought cheap and pretty musline, which they made in the evenings, that they might look fresh and gay. J vee the cash• boys bought new cravats and hats for tete great occasion. There was one girl whom we will call Jane, N4110 cowled not indulge herself in any pretty bit of finery, She was the only child of a widow- ed mother who was paralyzed. Jauo was quiok and industrious, but she bad been but a few months in 'the store and her wages barely kept her and her mother from want. "What shall you wear ?" said the girl who stood next her beside the counter. "I bought such a lovely blue lawn." "I have nothing but this," anti Jane, glancing down at her rusty bleak merino. "But that is a winter dress 1 You'll malt, child. There will be dancing, and boating and croquet. You must have a summer dress, or else don't go." Girls of fifteen like pretty gowns. Jane said nothing for a few minutes, "I must wear this," she said firmly. "And I think I will go. Mother wishes it, and I like to get all the fun I ran out of life." "But you can't dance or play croquet in -that 1" "It is always fun to see other people have .fun," said Jane bravely. The day canoe, bright and hob, and Jane went in her heavy, well - darned arose. She gave up all idea of "fun" for herself and set to work to help the others find it. On the ears she busied herself in finding seats for the little girls and helping the servants with the baskets of provisions. On the grounds she started games for tho children, ran today table, brought water to the old ladies, wee ready to pin up a torn gown, or to applaud a "good ball ;" she laughed and was happy and friendly all of the time. She ciid not dance or play ; but do wee surrounded by a cheerful, merry group wherever she went. On the way home to town the employer, who .was a ehrowd bttai• good position.

BY NEV. G. n. 110WIE, L A., PAST.On OF ENOS SR068EL8, °Two epode" boxes 8 by 2 fent and about 20 iuchos in depth constitute the Iona of a donkey. Ono Ulan may awn and drive several asses. The mention of these animals need not e0ggest to no the proverbial specimens of 000130ys thieli we sometimes see on the sands of Portobello and other summer r•' - sorts, for the ase in Lebanon is web oared for and well fed, and a con siderablo portion ,of the work of transport fella to lliw IIo 1a the support of many a family, and stip plies the plane of a horse, or even 11 carriage, in many a gentleman's house. The great attention bestow ed upon the ass of Lebanon may be dictated by maxims of prudence rather than principles of morality, and men will find it difficult, if not impossible, to dissent from the state- ment "That the righteous regardeth nefechbahhemets (life of the beasts)." It is often remarked that Mt. Lebau ou once Been in a clear epriag morning from the Mediterranean is a eight never to be forgotten ; but to look from this height westward and view the lesser but gorgeous bills clad with the pine and oak, the incredible host of mulberry and vine terraces is incomparably grand ; itis a scene which nature alone can paint and represent. It was this splendor and magnificence whioh furnished imagery for the poet of the poets. This is the mountain which David, Solomon and Isaiah often thought about and wrote. In addition to the innumerable wild beasts which find their food in these valleys and heights there are hosts of goats, sheep, cattle, &c. crowding here and there to feed. "Never. tholees Lebanon, even Lebanon, is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offer- ing." It does appear that the .Jews, like many ancient nations. were af- fected with the weakness of sup- posing that the blood of goats, rams and bullocks could constitute right- eousness, expiate sin and propitiate the Deity. Against this terrible delusiou, which amounted to substi- tuting symbol for reality, type for auti•type, the whole host of prophets, with Isaiah in the fore, bitterly and inflexibly protested. Israel was as- sured that although Lebanon was so be constituted one tremendous altar, on which the innumerable giant cedars were to burn the count- less hosts of all the beasts, it would not remove sin. The mania of shedding blood does not seem to be the disease or weakness of this gen- eration, but it is to be feared that the age is not altogether free from something not unlike the delusion which developed the Jews. There are some, we 8083003, who are going about to establish their own right. eoueness. They indeed know very well and teach that the blood of rams and bullocks expiate not sin, yet they cannot persuade themselves that gond works are also ineffectual and worthless, as far as justification before God is concerned. Surely it is not necessary to explain that we hold salvation impossible with. out true and real repentance and contrition of heart; we • hold it faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that unleea ye repent ye shall likewise perish ; that with- out holiness none shall see God. In the nature of things it is im- possible for any man to continue in sin that grape he multiplied. We find it indispensable, ;both to turn unto God and do works meet for repentance, that we ought to be spotless, read of all men, zealous in every good work, diligent in base noes, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. Nevertheless we feet and aro pereuad031 that the ground of our 80eeptanee with God, our pardon, our juatification, is wholly unalter- able and always distinot from all that we can or can not do ; from all that we are or Piave. It other words salvation is an act of God's free and sovereign grace and is not merited by any mag at any tithe. 1 THE BRUSS•LES .HOST i R80113es, 0 pe 131111A3138311 R013135. r Ono teaspoon of sugar, ono quart of tour, two tablespoona of butter, one and one•balf teaspoon of salt; mix and 103 atan0 OVO0 night ; 313 the 'morning knead fifteen miuutee and lit rise; when light roll crit tbin and out in shape ; butter 0110half of two top and. dentia it over ; balm twenty minutes iu a quick Melt 11i 0 ieriente 3.ifitined!

This spot though not far from other plans, is yet many miles distant from guy village. Tho elevation of this spot is about 2,800 cubit (a cubit, 20 in.). As WO journeyed tlowa the eastern side of the mountain there 1ay etre',cheal before us El Biquelt, the plain known to the Greeks as Goole - Syria, about 100 miles long and be twoen 8 and 10 MHOS broad, nearly parallel with Lebanon. East of the plain and nearly parallel to it lies the Auti•Lebanon cb.aitl of moun- teins, so called from the fact that it lies over against Lebanon. It is lees densely populated, aufl more stocked with wild and injurious bett;ts; species of oak covers many parts of it, which is being gradually howu down 313(1 converted into ohar coal for the use of the Drtmasoeues and others, The fertile hollow be- tween the two Lebanons is said to be 2,000 cubits above the sea level, hence it 1s clear that the distance from the highest ridge of Lebanon to the plaia oast of itis very much loss than the distance to the plains of Phoenicia west of it. It may be as well to mention that this road and vicinity are familiar from child • hood to the author 'of this paper. Some two horns after we began our descent we reached khan Mijre on the border of the plain. Here we halted and were served to a drink of oold water and about 6 or 7 pounds of grapes at the Dost of 80 bales, 8d. Not far from this lies Zablie, an important town on the borders of Oocle-Syria and Lebanon. Of the non -fruit trees the poplar adorns the district. :'Extensive pat0h05 are crowded with this long and slender stalk, presenting to the distant spectator a splendid vtew of dark green miniatures of forests, This tree is ordinarily between 30 and 40 feat high, and bas au average (11 - :meter of between G and 10 inches. Its obief rs0 is to furnish beanie for roofing bowies, bridging rivers, &e. The country here is less hilly, and hence the garden terraces are very =oh fewer in number, but very muoh larger in size. Magnificent vineyard t, yielding a variety of grapes, cover males 0300 miles of the country. Tit June, or there- abouts, the grapes begin to ripen, and now it becomes absolutely neoessary for each husbandman to leave his village home and friends and plant himself in his vineyard in order to protect it as far as pos- sible from the invasion of both man and beast. It may be that the pro• party is hie own or that he has it rented, paying so much in cash with the view of gathering the year's vintage. Tins is an4annuai speau• lation, whioh may result in either gain or loss, in any case the has- bandman looks upon those vines as the broad of his family. He watches them with zeal and earnestness for at least throe months, until the last of the fruit is either sold off for present consumption or converted into raisins, molasses or wine, For this temporary sojourn in the open country a small kind of house, 5 by 8 cubits and 2 or 8 cubits in height, is erected of rough irregular stones, piled, as it were, without any lime or cement. It is then roofed by a few stray beams and then cov- ered by rugged elates found in the neighborhood, these again are some- times covered by a layer of earth of about 10 or 15 inches. The oc- cupants of this flimsy erection aro fortified by the experience that they have not to contend against rain or storms, but only require a shelter from the sun by day and the moon by night. By the end of September or middle of October the grape sea- son is over. No further watch is now needed, for the tree atone is eft with a few half green, half yel. ow, partly withered leaves upon it, nd the husbandman, with hie as. istants, in some eases members of is own family, totting home and aWeldons to its fate his late quarters. a h It is both discouraging and die• e OM. 19, 1888, ettattreantanatnaenialarearaManfareatiMeniscalfeeV 0 ':.,• { t J BOOKSTORE School Sup'lies Such as Books Slates, Pons, Pen- cils, Ink, Bags, &c.
