A Touching Story.
The following affective narrative
purports to have been given by a father
to his son, as a warning derived from
his own bittbr experience of thn sin of
grieving and resisting a mother's love
and counsel:
What agony was visible on her faeo
when she saw that all she said and
stiiiereo luimu u> muvu uio ; mio rose
t<? ?-o home, and I followed at a distance.
She spoke no more to me until sho
reached her own door.
"It's school time now," paid she. "(Jo.
my son, and once more lot mo beseech
you to' think upon what I have said."
"I shan't go to school," said [.
She looked astonished at my boldness,
but replied firmly ?
"Certainly you will go, Alfred I
command you."
"1 will not'." said I, in a tnnu of
defiance.
"Cue of two things you must do.
Alfred, either go to school this morning,
or 1 will lock you in your room, and
k< cp you there till you are ready to
promise implicit obedience to my wishes
iu luture."
"I dare y m to do it," .said [j 'you
eau't get mc up st:>ir."
"Alfred, choose now," said my mother,
who laid bet band upon my arm
She trembled violoutly, and wa3
deathly pale.
??It yell touch mc I will kick you."
said I, in u terrible rage. God knows 1
k in w not whmt I nnid
"Will you go Alfred V
"No 1" 1 replied, but i|U.ii!cd beneath
her eyes.
'?'Iben follow no," she said, us she
grnsped my nrm. I ruistdmy loot?oh.
my son, he^r nie ! i ruber* my foot and
kicked her?my sainted mother ! How
my head reelB us the torrent of m-morjf
lushes o cr me ! 1 kiekod my mother,
a fc bfo woman ? my mother ! S i ?
stagtterod back a few st-p< and leaned
against the wall. She d d not 1 .ok at
nie I saw her ho rt Leal against her
breast.
4 Oh ! Honvonly F ither," she said,
'?forgive him?be knows not what be
doesl"
The g.ir'encr just then passed the
door, uud seeing my mother pale an 1
almost utinble to support herself, be
stopped. She beckoned him in.
"Take this boy up sita'trs. and bu k
him up in his room," said she, uud
turned ^roin me.
LiHtking baek as sho was entering her
room, slw gave mo such a look of agony,
mingled with intense love ! it wa? the
last unutterable pang troru a heart that
was broken.
I found myself a piisoncr in my own
room. I thought, for a nioineut, I would
(ling myself from the open window, and
dash my brains o it. but 1 felt afraid to
do it. I was not penitent. At times
my heart was subdued ; hut my stub
born pride rose in an instant, and bade
nie not. yield. I flung myself on the
bed and fell asleep just at twilight. I
heard a footstep approach (he door. It
was my sister.
"What may I tell your mother from
you V she asked.
"Nothing," I replied.
"Oh, Alfred ! for my sake, and for all
our sakes, say thai you are sorry. She
longs to forgive you "
I would not aus vor. I bear her
footsteps slowly retreating, and agaiu I
threw myself upon the bed, to pass
another fearful night.
Another footstep, slowor and fecbLr
than my sister's, disturbed me. It w.is
my mother's.
"Alfred, my son, shall I ootnc ?" she
ask"d.
I cannot tell you what iufltionec.
operating at that moment, made in >
souak ndverso to my feelings. The
geutlo voico of my mother thrilled
through mc, melting the ice of my
obdurate heart, and I lou,-od to throw
my.-elf upon her neck, but I did not
Hut my WOtr-d* gave the lie to tuy heart
when I said I was not sorry I heard
her withdraw. I heard her proan. I
longed to call her hack, but / dhl w>t
I was awakonnd from my uneasy
slumbers by hearing my name culled
loudly, and my suitor stuod ut my bed
sine.
"Get tip and conio with me. Mother
is dying "
I thought I was yet dreaming, but 1
gflt up mechanically and followed my
sister.
On the bed, pale aud cold as marble,
lay my mother.
She had not undressed Sho bad
thrown herself on the bed to rest ; rising
to go ugaili to inn, Bhe was seized with
a palpitation of tlio heart, and borne
senseloss to her room.
1 cannot tell with what agony I looked
upon herj my remo-.se was tenfold tr ue
bitter from the thought that sho WO lid
never k now it I believed mys df to be her
I could not weep. My heart burned in
my bosom ; my brain was on fire. My
sister threw her arms around me and
Wept in silenCO. Suddenly we saw a
plight motion of mother's hau 1; her eves
tanch scd. She had recovered conscious,
ncss, but not speech. She looked at me
and moved her lips. I could not Uli 1 r
stand her words.
'Mother, mother!" I shrieked, "say
only say that you forgive mo !"
Sh ? could not say it with her lips,
but her hand pressed mine. She sinil id
upon toe. and lilting her thin, white
hands, she claspu 1 my own whithin
them, and casjt her eyes upward. Slit'
moved her bps in prayer, and thus she
died. 1 remained kneeling beside that
dear foim, tiIlvmy gentle sister removed
me. The joys of youth liud left me lor

'1 bey were very pretty ii*tie tiling

course, \oit tbiuk you know all about
them.
You may know bow on:: looks, an 1
what it is for. though, thank- to sewing
machines, you don't have to wear it
much, and the timo is long gone by
when it was necessary to every girl's
good name that she sh ml 1 embroider a

Why, bow many persons do you sup

thing it is? Not to count mine s. or

getting so perfect that perhaps before

How Postage Stamps nrc Prspnrod.
As 5nnn ns thoy emerge from the
hydraolia press, postage stamps are gum

starch, or its dextrine, which is acted
upon cl emicitlly und then boild, form
ing a clear, smooth. B?ghtly sweet mix
tnro. Fach ?he t of stamps is taken
separately. placed upon a flat board, and
its edges covered with a light frame.
Then paste is smeared <>u with n largo
whitC-W ish brush, and tho sheet is laid
between two wire racks and placed on
a pile with others to dry. Groat cue is
t-?ken in the manufacture of this juste
which is perfectly harmless. This gratify
ing fact has been conclusively proved
by tin eminent ?hoiuist. After tho
gumming, another pressing in the
hydraulic pre.-s follows. Thon nnoth r

less than thirteen times during the pro
cos of manufacture. 1 liu shoots ar ?
then cut in half, euch portion containing
?be hundred stamps, this boiug dune by
pirls with ordinary hund-sho.irs. Next
follows the perforation, which is per
formed by machinery. The perforation

afterward in ? horizontal line. Another

stamps made by the dios ; and this andi
the manufacture. A second apartment
is devoted to tho pneking and sending
off to the different post offices, It will
be seen by this account that any absurd
rumors concerning the poisonous or uu
clean properties of {the postage stamps
are utterly without foundation.

Never Suggest Doubts.
It is the special work of tho nrch
temples to surrst scepticism and unbe
lief. 'Thou shalt surely die' WaSOrigi
nal with the serpent in the garden. He
?joes nbout still a-? a roariug lion, seeking
whom be may cause to be devoured by
sonn.- specious form of unbelief. Minis
teis and teachers ? th iiightlessly, no
doubt? often fish up and bring forward
in bold outline, difficulties and apparent
contradictions in Scripture before clas
scs of boys snd young men or young
ladies To a certain class of persons,
this sei ii s to i jeti an inviting field. It
shows thai the toucher is wide awake,
und it displays bis skill in answering
the difficulty. Max be it shows his supe
rior knowledge. It is doubtless well to
bring up real and obivious difficulties in
the teai her-' meetings and in advanced
classes, provided too much is not undo
of them and they are fairly mot, that
the tea hers may he prepared to meet
the dilli, ultics if they comp up in tho
class teaching. Hut questioning the
accuracy of the English translation,
pointing out apparent contradictions, or
in any way throwing doubt on a Bible
statement, should not be practiced
whil t teaching young classes. Faith,
and an almost implicit trust, is the u >r
mal condition of childhood. Frivolity
and doubt and incipient scepticism creep
in nt a latir age. but it is usually at the
suggestion of old sinners and bad associ
utcs. Teachers should be prepared to
acknowledge and intelligently to meat
difficulties in the Scriptures. Hut, as
a rule wu think the suggestion of them
should be left to tho fathers of lies and
to his willing di.-ciples.
A Beautiful Sentiment,
In Augustine Daly's great play,
"Under the Gaslight." Laura Court
land mt. led these beautiful sentiments:
Let the woman you look upon bo wise
or vain, beautiful or holy, she has but
one thing she can give or rofuso, and
th it i.s her hoart. Her beauty, her wit
sho may sell you, but her love is the
treasure without money and without
price. She can only ask that when you
look upon her your eyes shall speak a
mute devotion ; when you nddrsss her
your voico shall be gentle and kind,
d hat you will not despise her beoauso
'the cannot all at once understand your
vigorous thoughts and ambitious plans,
for when misfortune and evil have
defeated your greatest purpose, her love
remains to console you. You look upon
the tree of Btrongth and grandeur j do
not despise the flowers becauso their
fragrance is all they have to give.
Remember, that love is the only thiug
a woman San give, and it is the only
thing which God permits her to carry
beyond the grave.

Three Paragraphs of Gold.
A good advertisement in a good news
paper is tho best of all possible salesmen.
It is a selcsmnn who never sleeps, and is
never weary ; who goes after business
early and late; who aocosts the mer
chant in his shop, the scholar in his
study, tho lawyer in bis office, the lady
at her tea table ; who can be in a thous
and places at once, and speak to million
people every day, saying to each one tho
best thing in the best manner.
A govil advertisement in a newspaper
pays no fare on railroads ; cost nothing
for hotel bills; gives no boxes of cigars
to customers, or merino dresses to custo
mcr'8 wives; drink no whiskey under
the hoad of travelling expeusos; but
goes at once and all tho time about its
business free of expense.
A good advertisement insures a busi
ness connection of the most permanent
and independent basis, and is in a certain
sense a guarantee to the customer of
lair uud moderate prices. Exporieaoo
has shown that the dealer whoae wares
have obtained a pub'io celebrity is not
only euablcd to sell, but is forced to sell
at reasonable rates, and to furnish a good
article.

Lef. every man or woman who owes

13c willing to make sacrifice in or

pecuniary trouble.
It you arc out of deht, thank the
Lord, ami then g-> round amoug your
friends, and enemies, too, if you have
them, and render them all tho assist in ?e
in your power.
Don't hoard your money, but loan it.
or use it to relieve the needy, on the
same principles as you would give bread
to the needy in a day of famine.
Do what you can in every way to rc
lieve pecuniary distress, to check the
current of financial embarrassment* and
restore public confidence.
If you are a bank officer or direct >r,
