In the course of a long life I have
observed that when tete people are
getting religion they are full of self-
abasement, and aro ever ready to
condemn themselves ; but when
they are losing it, or hove lost it,
they aro often full of self•coufidenoo

"Ireland sober is Ireland free,"
used to be a great phrase of O'Con•
ten's. The Irish people, at home
and abroad, if freed from the drink
nurse, would lead (he world in 'every
walk of life.
In the years of Father Mathew's
greatest Temperance triumphs in
Ireland, while the revenue from
whiskey was vastly reduced, the

above its average.

Good Words.
Going gently about a thing won't
hinder its being done.
We can hardly learn humility and
tenderness enough except by suffer.
ing.
A grave, wherever found, preach-
es a short, pithy sermon to the
soul.
To possess and command the
world, the church must be unworld•
ly and servant of all.
Faith evermore overlooks the
difficulties of the way, and bends
her eyes only to the end.
The best perfection of a religious
man is to do common things in a
perfect manner.
Christ, and Christ only, has re.
vealed that he who has erred may
be restored, and made pure and
whole again.
I have been benefitted by pray-
ing for. others ; for making an er-
rand to God for them, I have got
something for myself.
Much of the glory and sublimity
of truth is oonneeted with its mys-
tery. To understand everything we
must be as God.
It is one thing to have our sine
worn, away from the memory, and
quite another thing to have them
washed away at the gospel foun-
tain.
Nothing ever happens but once
in this world. 'What I do now I
do once for ell. It is over, it is
gone, with all its eternity of solemn
meaning.
A true Christian is like the sun,
which pursues its noiseless track
and everywhere leaves the effect of
his beams in blessing upon the
world around him,
The Oburob of Christ, which is
partly militant, and partly triumph.

sides of a river—there is but the
stream of death between grace and
glory.
It is not when we are conscious
of our faults that we are most
wicked ; on the contrary, we are
then less so. Wo see by a brighter
light; and let us remember, for our
consolation, that we never perceive
and feel our sine until we begin to
cure them,
When the wire is in connection
with the battery, you feel its ting-
ling touch. If Christ in me is
working mightily, I, a mere wird,
nay send life through another

fulness of God, I may minister of
that fulness to needy souls.

All epoob-making men have the
fete of Moses. They spend their
Heat; leading rebellious and rsluot-
ant feet toward some fair ideal, and
die when apparently realizing it,
Iu our own little lives the same law
holds good. "One eowetlh and an.
other reapeth." Rarely duce any
man complete his life s purpose.
We have all to baud our unfinished
tasks to our successors, even as wo
tools up the balf-done work from the
dying hands that went before ue.
Happy for us if, by faith in the um
dying Worker, who changes his
tools but never absndons his pur-
pose, we have the clear sight of the.
goodly land to cheer us, as we shut
our eyes on toil to open them on
the higher peak, where our visiou
is wider still.
Funeral Customs.
The music kept up at Irish wakes

The Mohammedans always,

one of adoption, bury without a

The primitive Russians placed a

Peter at the gates of heaven.
The natives of Australia tie the
bands of tbe corpse and pull out
the finger nails ; tbie for fear that
the dead will ecratcb their way out
3f the grave and become vampires.
In India up to within the pest
few years the devoted wife asoond •
ed the funeral pyre of her dead hus-
band and was incinerated by the
same flame that reduced her loved
one to aebes.
During the time of the old Ro-
man empire the dead bodies of all
except suicides were burned. The
Greeks sometimes buried their dead
in the ground, but more generally
cremated them in imitation of the
Romans.
When a child dies in Greenland
tbe natives bury a living dog with

Always squeal about exorbitant

quicker than that policy.
You can't all own steamboats or

What A Woman Cott no.
We women certainly can do a
good many things well, though tbe
men do nob alwaye admit it. We
don't always get credit for our
ulevornese ; but a recent writer in
the Boston Times gives quite a list
of things easy enough to women
but impossible to man. He says
that the average woman can come
to a conclusion without the sligh-
test trouble of reasoning on it, and
no sane man can clo that.
She can safely stiok 50 pins in
her dress while ho is getting one
nnder his thumb nail.
She is cool ate a cucumber in half

and growl under ono loose skirt.
She can relit as.sweet, as :poaches
and cream to the woman she hates,
while two men would be punching
each other's head before they had
exchanged 10 words.
She can throw a stone with a
'curve that would be a fortune to a
have ball player.
She can say "no" in such a low
voice that it means yes.
She can sharpen a lead pencil if
you give her plenty of time and
plenty of pencils.
She can dance all night in a pair
of shoos two sizes too small for her,
and enjoy every minute of the
time.
She can appreciate a hies from
her husband 72 years after the mar.

wards tell you what every woman
