IwUhlhat 1 could knit one tor my mothei'." ''You can lein-u in two minutes, Emily. I will sot It up for you now, on n.y ueedles, and touch j on," saiil Lucy. Eiuily wus much pleased. She was w iilitiK to bein ut once. They sat in u quiet coiner of tlio library Emily, with her 1'iiend Lucy Knowles, who had been visiting her for a weels. "O, Lucy say that you will stay for another week." 'You dear chilil, I cannot; my letter is written ami sealed." "You cau easily open it, and add a postscript. I'll plan all sorts ot iiieis thinys lor every day; you'll bo eer so glad that you staid." Hut Lucy was Mite she) must go home. Emily sighed, und wished that they lived together. They hadn't tallied over half their plans, she said. Lucy laughed, aud as suied her that they cjtild do very much talking iu the two days that were left. "If only those Iron blesnmo bo.s ill let us alone," said Emily. 'It is so nine to ait here ami plan. O, Lucy, don't you want to bo a noble woiiun ! I intend to bu! 1 like to sit iu that old arm chair and think over the grand things that 1 am going to do." Ju.st ttien Kiilus called through the hail, "Eiuily, Emily, where are you f "U, dear, ' whispered Jiuiily, "i promised to mend ins uan. i lor- got all about it. Keep still, Liiuy, 1 don't wanthitu to bother us now.'' Hark! Some one whistled a note, uud theu said, in alow tone "Ah, the fuses 1 The little toxes !'' The girls looked at each other. "J didn't know .Mac was in the study," whispeied Emily, "lie is writing his valedictory speech, though ; I dou't think he has heard us." "What do you suppose be is snj uig about foxes, in his valedictory speech f" asked Lney. "I don't know." replied Emily. "There goes ltufus across the meadow. We are salt) from b.ui or awhilr." "Poor Kutus; I am sorry about bis ball," Lucy said. But Emily had torgotteti about the ba.ll, also that Mac was iu the libraiy. She wauted to talk, just theu, about the future. "Think over some great names, Lucy. Whom would you choose for a model I There weie Aliriam, and Deborah, and Jael V "Jael ! that dreadful woman who drove the nail into tho man's head !" cried Lucy. "1 should not want to be like her." "Well, theie was Jon of Arc." But Lucy was sure she would not cf her owu free will, be a warlike woman even to save her country. "What do you think about Elizabeth Fry ! She did a great deal ot good, visitiug tho poor creatures iu prison, and getting up libraries tor sailors. Indeed, there was no end ot the thtugs she un dertook. Then there were the three- Mrs. Judsoos, such brave missionaries. Eut listen. A a tit Sue is calling.

O, dear, I had almost forgotten that those- tire some irirls are coanng to tea." Lucy looked surprised. "I thought vou liked Mary and Sarah Park," she said; "jou asked thein to come." "I had to atdt tbeui," said Emily, 'and I do like them a little. Only Mary is stupid and Sarah is vaiii, alwaxs trviog her pretty foot. The trirls titakeall raanuer of fun of Sarah." Some l hi ug more, in a low tone, from Mac about the fexes." "What does be mean V whisper ed Lucy. "Is be writing a speech vu e.kui.i J " J "Natural History iudeed I Of Terms Two coarse not." Emily thought it vety 8tapidin Lucy to suppose no wbeu Mths was to ba Valedictorian of liisclas. . ' ' "lie will w rite about the -good times that they .bad together and about the grand things that they mean to do in the world." Si ill s!ic wondered why he should be thioking about foxes jimt then f We will make hiut tell us what he tneaiii1," said Lucy. "We caiiiift if bo ' does - not choose," said Emit.V. . -"I aH Mac iny William the Silent. "O, Lucy, UVft.lWUCB.OB.v goiag to sU.V idt winter e would read MotltV his tory of "The Netherlands" and "The Dutch Republic." A lew hours afterward, at the tea table, the git 's looked at Mac cutiuusly. But if he hail any se crets they were not written ou his face. "We wantyoti.'ploase, to tell os all that you know about foxes," said Lucy. Foxes," he repeated. "Indeed, Miss Lucy, I must r?l'er you to the Etieycl''iadia, or to Wood's Bible Animals perhaps. Are you writ ing a. book on Natural History V "I, oh no I But we thought. that perhaps you were." "There, I knew that he wouldn't tell." "Perhaps ho didn't hear us, didn't even know we were iu the library," said Lucy. Eiuily thought differently. She had a great admiration for Mao. "He is so good !" she would say. "Almost perfect." She had an un comfortable feeling just theu that he could not have said the same about her. One Sunday, soon after all fbis, Emily looked up, much interested to hear the clergyman read as his text: "Take us the oxes, the little toxes that spoil the vines." She glanced along the pe-r to ward Mac. Hut his eyes were just where Ihe eyes of an atteutive hear er should be upon the preacher. Her eves, too were soon directed tow ard him, and her ears were wide open to hear what he would say about those curious words. It was a sei mon to j oiiug Chris tians. It was to warn thein against what people somt tiunsca I little sins." Just as the foxes a.e enemies to tue tender iaes, so these little sins hindci the growth ot a noble character. Emily had never listeued more attentively to a sermon.- She was besh'e Mac all ttirotigh the walk home. Neither npoke for a while. At length Emily s dd : ''Mac, this is jwur last Sunday home; please answer inv question." 'IIow can I, little Mster, till you have asked it ?" "Mac, did yon ask Mr. Ferguson to preach that sermon f" "I I no certainly not." "Is tl'al what you meant by the little foxes,' that day iu tho libra ry do you remember f "Yes, I remember, and that is what 1 meant my dear little sister. 1 am glad Mr. Ferguson preached that sermon, though 1 hud iiolh:ug todo v"iib it." "Then you heard all that Lucy and I said, and by the 'little foxes' you meant how I behaved at the hall and not going to Aunt Sue when she culled, and f "Your retnaiks about Mary and Sarah," added Mac, gravely, tak ing her hand, tenderly. "We can not indulge in selfishness, or in mi kind retnaiks, or iu a bundled oilier common faults, without harm to our character and charac ter, you know, is what we are, aud what we are to be forever V "Yes, I understand uow," she saitl, tears . filliug her eyes. "I thought that I was going ro be such a noble woman, and till the while the little foxes were 8Kiliug my tender vines. And that is bow it will be always," she added, de spondently. "No, Emily, it need uot be, if you will drive away tho fox 'Dis trust' that is showing his head just now." . 'Why, what do yon uieau, Mac V "You aud I stood up in . the church a tew months ago. and said that we believed in Jesus Christ as our Saviour. What did we nieau V "From hell, for heaven ouly, or in this world, to day, from the pow er ot our sins t" "Oh, 1 never thought of it in that way, Mac." "But that is just the way it is, dear, and that is what we ineaut, or ought to have uieuut when we stood there and confessed our faith iu Christ. Wo were just like two sick childreo ; sick at heart; and we came to Jesus, trusting him by his holy spirit, to make us bet ter, day by day. And he will do it, only let ns trust him." Emily clasped his baud tight. "Thank you, Mac," she said. "I know now about the little foxes, aud who will help me against theuj."

The Condition ot our State Fi nances. " , Capt. Frank Burkitt, editot of the Okoloi'a Messenger and Repre sentative tu the Legislature from Chickasaw county, writing to his paper from Jackson, in speaking of the conditioner! our State finances, says:, :' . ;'.. The expeirditnres for the past . two years have exceeded $1,800, (KJP and'to this extravagance we may attribute the deplorable condi tion f 0P Sitl flNIMaV ,ut '. notwitbsui.'.'ditig the tretigBffTi de- "7 pleted und the people aft pro-aniag under a tearful burden of taxation; the demands ot those in charge of our State institutions are unabated. Missistdppi iu the hour of her ca lamity, has no sympathy from those who have been thS recipients of her bounty. Little do they heed the wail of poverty uud distress which goes up all over the State, so long as they can bring influence enough to bear to secure the cov eted appropriations. Indiffereut are they to the fact, that the State must borrow money to keep up the lavish expenditures to' which the gentlemen tu charge of our benevo lent aud educational institutions are accustomed so long as they are allowed the money to spend. I have as yet to find the first ono of these favored gentlemen who was willing his priucely salary should be cut dowu a dollar. In stead of this some of them, notably the President ot the Columbus dormitory of silver spoons, wants a mansion built for him, which he coolly informs tis will not cost over $7,560. His salary is the same as that of our Circuit Judges aud Chancellors, $2300 per annum, and it the Stale must furnish him an elegaut residence, why not all our Judges be provided in like matiuerf The demands of the Columbus col lege ou the State Treusncy reaches tue enormous tmtn of $114,600 and is made iu face of the fact, that it cannot bo obtained without an in crease of taxation, which its spon sors assert with an air of superior-, ity "must be done." It is said there isau immense (dock in the tower of the Industrial (f) school building ha vini.' hands nine feet long aud a pendulum weighing 300 Kuuds. As this pendulum swings back and forth the great clock can be heard to repeat day and night, "tax, tax, tax, tax," and the people are ex pected anil will be required to re spond as long us they will endure it. But the end draweth nigh as surely as Ames aud his minions met their just deserts; then woe be unto the cormorants, who laugh at Mississippi's calamity and mock when her leai cometh. A Kind Voice. There is no power of love so hard to get and keep as a kind voice. A kiud band is deaf and dumb. It may be rough in flesh aud blood, aud yet do the work ot asolt heart and do it with a suit touch. But there is no one thing that lore so much needs as a sweet voice to tell what it means' and feels; audit is hard to get and keep it iu the right tone. One must start iu youth, and be ou the watch' night aud day, at work and play, to get uud keep a voice that shall speak at all times the thoughts of a kind heart. This is the time w licit a sharp voice is apt to bo got. You often hear boys aud girls say words at play with a sharp, quick tone, as if it were the snap ot a whip. When one ot them gets vexed, you will hear a voice that sounds as ft it were made up ot a snarl, a whine and a baik. It is ofteu iu mirth that one gets a voice or toue that is sharp, and it slicks to hiur through life, and stirs np ill will and grief, aud falls like a drop ot gatl ou the sweet joys of borne. Watch it day by day, as a peat I ot great ptice, for it will be worth more to you in days to come than the best pearl bid iu the sea. A kind voice is to the heart what light is to the. eye. It is a light that sings as well-, as shines. Train it to sweet tones, uow, and it will keep iu toue through life. Etihu Burritt.
