BETWEEN THE LINES.
A. young lady, newly married, being
obli gad to show her Mic hand all the letters
she wrote, sent the following to a friend.
Tho key is to read the first line and then
every alternate lino :.•
I cannot bo satisfied, my dearest iriond I •
blest as I nm in the matrimonial state,
nnle00 I pour into you friendly bosom,
which has ever been in unison with mime,
the various sometime %vhiah swell
with the liveliest emotions of pleasure,
my almost bursting heart. I tell you, my
dear
husband is the most amiable of mon.
I have now been married seven weeks, and
have never found the ]east reason to
repent the day that joined us. My busbando

an ugly, cross, old, dioagreoable, and jealous
monster
who thinks by confining, to secure a wife
it is his maxim to treat 020 as a
bosom friend and confident, not as a
plaything, or menial slave, the women
chosen to his companion. Neither party,
be says, should always obey implioitly ;
but each yield to the other by' turns.
An ancient maiden sunt, near seventy,
a ehoerfui, venerable, and pleasant old lady,
/Free in the Longe with US ; 6'1e is the de-
light of both young and old ; she is ci-
vil to all the neighborhood round,
generous and charitable to the poor.

say all in one word, my dear, and to

Why marvel et the flame of intemperance

naught but ruin and misery in its deadly

vital importance of tho.hearty co-operation
of the people of this country in their united
efforts to equip the young of our land with
that mental, moral, social and religious
armour which will onablo'thom to contoncl

thattho majority of cum Canadian bun an
girls who lease school at the ages of 16 and
17 have no desire for reading good books
no love for elevating literature, no hunger

in mental beggary as far as literature i

If Canada would acquire an 0ducatio

poured so lavishly into the lap of every civ
ilizod country under heaven their pressen
peace and prosperity?` and what is it that
moulds the character and destiny of the
people w.ho shall inherit that country which
is fairer than day? Those reposing their
heads upon the perilous pillow of scepticism
rimy say what they will bat we mafutaie it
is the Bible. My fellow Bible•reodera• does
not that cry which has rung through the
long Cages ring in your ears tonight and
what does it mean/ "Who bath woo? Who
hath sorrow? Who hath contoubions? Who
hath babbliogs ? Who hath wounds with-

ceived thereby is not wise ;" "The drunk-
ard shall come to. poverty, rags obeli bo his
clothing;" "Woe unto them that rise up
early in the morning that they may follow
strong drink that continuo until night till
27102 ` 0 inflame them. What a heart -rend-
ering contemplation that there are so many
of the human family who despise and re-
ject the Bible and go to the spirit world
without the shadow of a hope of escaping
the punishment awaiting those who obey
not the precepts of the Gospel. For a taug-
iblo demonstration of the estimation with.
which the Bible is held by some in oar very
midst, tet us glance down the names of eon-
tributoes io thetBible Satiety and we shall
find that some people, profaned Christians,
too, have the audacity to insult Jehovsh by
valuing the law of hie mouth at the penur-
ious sum of ten cents when they ware just
as able to give ten timed that amount. If
such liberality as that were stowed away
in a nut droll it would very soon escape if
a moth were to drill a hole in the casket:
Whether such contributions as these aro
really meant to send the Bible to the heath-
en or to send the oollootor away from the
door of the ton-oeut contributor 1 will leave
this audience to determine. All I we want
more of that edueati&n 'each will enable
us to echo the sentiment of the Psalmist
when he exolnlrned, "The law of bhy month
is better unto me than thousands of gold
and silver." In conclusion I would express
the fond hope that the Home circle, the
school, the ()hunt/ and every other good in-
stibution iu the land go forward In the
might of the Great Teacher to the pulling
down of that stronghold of Satan, which
has been a slave market of the souls of men
in all ages, and may the day soon dawn
when Canada shall have acquired an educa-
tion before which tho black cloud of,iutem-
peranoe shall vanish like mist before the
king sun. Then shall : the daughters of
nada weep for very joy,. the child of.
poverty crouch no more upon Ito straw pal-
let at the sound of the footsteps of ire Iran-
tio father returning late from a night's de-
bauch in the dram shop; tlren shell the woe -

pent and stings like on udder, tempt no

no more upon the drunkard's grave ; the
shades of grief arising from the aloughe of
intemperance cloud no more the sunshine

of the days of go many of our fellow -ores -

for herself a monument of virtue which gen-
erations yet unborn shall respect and rover -

of time shall break like waves ttgainat the
