The Wasp and the Bee.
A wasp met a bee that was just buzzing by.
And be said, “ LiUle cousin, can you tell me why
You are loved so much better by people than I?
My back shines as bright and as yellow ns gold;
And my Shape is most elegant, too, to behold:
Yet.nobody likes me for,that, I am told.
“Ah', friend,” said the bee, “it is all very true;
But, if I had half as much mischief to do,
Then people would lore me uo better than you.
“You can boast a fine shape and a delicate wing ;
You are perfectly handsome: but there’s yet one thing
That can't bo put up with; and that is your sting.
“ My coat is quite homely and plain, as you see;
Yet nobody erer is angry with me,
Because I’m a nseful and innocent bee.
From this little story let people beware,
Because, like the wasp, if iir-natured they are,
They will never be loved, though they re ever so tair.
A Prayer Answered.
Nelly came home from school one after
noon, and complained bitterly of her teacher.
“ Did you ever pray f«»r your teacher, that
God would make her more gentle and lov
ing ?” said Nelly’s father.
“Why, no,” answered the little girl, look
ing up, half surprised at the question, into
her father’s face.
“ Well, suppose you try that, and see how
things get on to morrow.”
And that night, when Nelly said her
prayers, she added these words at the close:
“And please, Lord, make teacher Annie
kinder and more patient.”
Then rising, she got into bed ; but she did
not feel so sleepy as when she bade her father
and mother good night a short time before.
Her thoughts went back over the day ; to
what had happened at school; to her own
conduct as well as that of her teacher. Just
what her own conduct had been we do not
know; but this we can relate: In about five
minutes after she was in bed, Nelly rose up
and, getting on her knees again, added this to
her evening prater:
. VAnd please, Lord, help me to be a better
girl at school.”
Then her head sank back upon its snowy
pillow, and in a minute or two she was fast
asleep.
On the next day Nelly came home from
school with a bright face and a bounding
step.
“ 1 think your prayer for teacher Annie
must have been answered,” said Nelly’s
father, as he. drew the little girl to his side.
“ I guess iA was ; she was so kind and pa
tient,” replied Nelly.
“ God has many ways of answering prayer,
my child,” replied the father, “and may be
that one of the ways he took was to make you
more studious, and more respectful to your
teacher.”
“ 1 shouldn’t wonder,” said Nelly, anew
thought coming into her mind; “for I did
try to do everything I could to please her.
After I had prayed that the Lord would make,
her kinder and more patient, I couldn’t help
trying to be a good scholar, and to worry her
as little as possible.”
“ft might have helped some if you had
prayed for yourself as well as your teacher,*’
remarked Nelly’s father.
“Oh, I did do that,” she said quickly.
Then added, after a pause, “And may be
it was my prayer for myself that God an
swered when I thought it was my prayer for
j teacher. May be she was kinder to me be
cause I said my lessons better, and did all I
could to please her.”
“I think that was just the way your prayer
was answered,” her father replied. “Our
prayers for others cannot do them much good
unless we try to help them as well as pray
for them. When we pray for others, God
puts it into oilr hearts to be more loving, and
kind, and thoughtful of them. In this way
He answers our prayers.”— Children's Hour.
What the Cat Taught Lilia.
Now that will do, little kitten; you have
been for a whole hour playing with my spool
of cotton, and running around after your tail,
with your old grave mother watching you,
and though she has never said a word, 1 see
by her looks she thinks it a very frivolous
way of spending your time. Still, I hardly
know if she is right, for nurse says all young
things are meant to play, children as well as
kittens. That is all well for you, but I have
to learn as well as play, as I am going now
to sit down on the stool before the fire, and
make a lesson-book out of you, old Tabby.
Mamma says there is something to be learned
from every one, so, perhaps, I shall get some
hints out of you; yes, in your eyes I can
read hints of fine things, in which I should do
well to be as good as you are.
Now I v ill begin. First of all, you are so
polite. I put this first, because mamma says
our good qualities will never be as useful as
they might be, unless our manners are good
too. Now, you are never clumsy ; you move
about so gracefully and so quietly, I do not
even hear your footsteps. When I give you
a bit of cheese, you never snatch it, but take #
it gentle out of my hand, purring all the time,
by which you mean to say, as plainly as
words can speak, “Thank you,” and if I of
fer you something you do not want, you do
not turn rudely away, but rub your nose
against it, which is rather telling me in your
polite way, “I had rather not.” lam afraid
there is a great difference between you and
me. How aw kward I am ! how often I for
get to say, thank you ! It is very clear, Tab
by, that your manners are better than mine.
In the second place, you are so patient.
When you are hungry and want a mouse,
you do not go popping your head into all the
holes, one after another, to see if mousey is
at home, but you sit down before one hole,
and you watch and watch with that quiet, de
termined face of yours, as if patience were
the most natural thing in the world, till at
last out creeps a mouse, and you get your
dinner. Now I know lam not a bit like this;
there is nothing I hate so much as waiting for
what I want; 1 like to have it at once. But
mamma says one of the hardest things we have
to do all through our lives, is to wait patiently,
so if I do not begin now, what will become
of me by-and-by ? Ah. Tabby, it comes so
easy to you, you have no idea what hard work
it will be to me.
Thirdly, besides being patient, you are
persevering.
You do not give up your hole till you have
caught your mouse; you stick to one thing
till you have gained your point. But if I
meet with difficulties in what I am doing, I
throw it aside and go to something else.
This is not the way you succeed, and I know
it will not do for me, either. So I will try,
and try, and go on trying, if I can, though it
is very tiresome, I can tell you.
Fourthly. lam noticing now, those round
velvet paws of yours. Nobody would be
lieve you have got claws tucked up inside
them so snugly and slyly, or that you could
ever use them if you had them, \on look so
meek and innocent. But they are there, and
you can use them fast enough, too, when you
are affronted. Ido not mean to say I ought
to have claws, but I mean this—though one
ought to be gentle one need not be weak ; and
I should like to be a firm character—to stick
to what is right, and stand up for it, too, when
occasion requires; just as you show what you
are made of when it is necessary, and let peo
ple see it is. not want of power that makes
you so good gtfd quiet.
One thing more; you are very useful.
True, one mouse is a very small v thing. but
a great many -miee together do a great deal of
mischief, and. if you do not keep them within
bounds, why we should soon have nothing
left to eat in our pantry. Now, one little act
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN ■fjl
of kindness or usefulness, such as I can do, is
npt much, but a great many put together
makes something; and mamma says life is
made up of small things, not great ones. And
the Bible says that a cup of cold water given
to one who needs it, is pleasing in God’s sight,
so I can surely do as much as that.
Well, I do think I have turned you to good
account. Let me see—politeness, patience,
perseverance, firmness, usefulness; I have
read all this our. of my new lesson book, and
I only hope l shall remember to practice it.
So now go to sleep, dear old Tabby, and 1
shall run and tell mamma what you have
taught me.— Child's Companion.
Boys Using Tobacco. —A strong and sensi
ble writer says a sharp thing, and a true one,
for boys who use tobacco. “It has utterly
spoiled and ruined thousands of boys. It
tends to the softening and weakening of the
bones, and it greatly injures the brain, the
spinal marrow, and the whole nervous fluid.
A boy who smokes early and frequently, or
in anv way uses large quantities of tobacco,
is never known to make a man of much en
ergy, and generally lacks muscular and phys
ieiil as well as mental power. We would
particularly warn boys who want to be any
thing in the world to shun tobacco as a most
baneful poison. It injures the teeth, it pro
duces an unhealthy state of the lungs, hurts
the stomach, and blasts the brain and nerves.”

Health of Women.
One of our prominent physicians was con
sulted some time ago, by an elegant lady of
fashionable life on account of two of her beau
tiful daughters, who were sylph-like and sym
metrical as fashion could make them, but who
showed too plainly that their forms and con
stitutions were as frail as debility could make
them without actually manifesting some spe
cific form of disease. “Oh, what shall I do
for my beautiful girls!” exclaimed the moth
er. “ Give them strength,” he replied. “And
how shall that be done?” said she. “Let
them make their own beds, and sweep their
own rooms, and perchance the parlor and
drawing-room, go to market and bring bas
kets of provisions home, garden, wash and
iron!” Looking at the physician with sur
prise, she said, “ What sort of minds would
they have, what sort, of bodies?” He an
swered, “They would have as healthy and
happy ones as your servants. You now give
all the, health and happiness to your domes
tics. He merciful to your daughters and let
them have a share.” The importance of this
advice cannot be overstated. Useful occupa
tion, exercise in doing real work, is one of
the best antidotes for the fearful debility that
wastes and destroys so many of our young
ladies. To promenade the streets for the sake
of exercise, is a poor substitute for the invig
orating effect of an hour of real work, and it
cultivates all the vanities and frivolities of an
empty head and an idle heart. Give your
daughter a broom and let her sweep the attic
instead of giving her a trailing dress and let
ting her sweep the side-walk, to be gazed at
by idlers until she cares for nothing but dis
play and being displayed. Hundreds of
young women would have been saved froTn
the grave and from a worse fate than the
grave by useful work at home.
Sabbath-Keeping Ponies.
We had a parishioner once, whose horse
knew perfectly well the distinction between
Sunday and week days. Through the week
days, if left without guidance from the reins,
he invariably turned theicoriierTif the street
that led to the depot. On Sunday he invari
ably passed the. street without turning, and
went directly to the churchward.
In a little village in Berkshire, there Jived
a family the members of which were in the
habit of disregarding the command of God to
remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.
Forgetting that God careth even for the beasts
of burden, and has set apart a seventh portion
of time as a day of rest for them as well as
for man, they used to harness their pony in
order to convey them and their friends to the
nearest railway station, on the Lord’s day.
Anew pony, however, which they purchased,
from some instinct which we shall not attempt
to explain hut which has often been noticed
to exist in dogs, was able to distinguish as
accurately as its master between Sunday and
the other da)s of the week, and probably
from remembering the habits of some previous
owner who was more careful to obey the
commands of God, was fully resolved to enjoy
that day quietly at home in his stable or his
paddock. When he was fastened tothegig on
Sunday, and his owner or his friends had as
cended the gig and wished to proceed, the
pony, though obedient on other times, would
plant his feet firmly on the ground, and nei
ther blows, nor words, nor caresses could in
duce him to stir from the spot. All the
efforts of his master proved powerless to in
duce him to move on the Sabbath day, and at
last, as a matter of necessity, he has been left
to the quiet enjoyment of his weekly day of
rest.— Watchman.
Give them a Charge. —A bright boy of
one of our friends took on bitterly and would
not be comforted when he heard that his father
was going to Europe, hut immediately dried
his tears when told by his father that he was
expected to look after the family, and espe
cially to look after his mother’s l comfort. He
was delighted with the idea of doing some
thing, and so proved the wisdom of that phi
losophy which prescribes active kindness to
others as the medicine for our own com
plaints. The young heart that so easily trusts
and loves has quite as ready aspring of joy,
and it is marvellous upon how small a capi
tal unspoiled children can be happy.
The lesson here taught commends itself to
parents and teachers. The activity of child
ren is irrepressible. The only question is,
how shall it be directed? We have seen a
little fellow kept happy for hours, driving
"bugs off the trunks of trees, in a place where
but for this charge he would have been fret
ful and discontented. Give an active boy
something to do, which shall fully occupy his
time, and impress him with a sense of re
sponsibility and usefulness, and you make
him cheerful and satisfied.
Bad Manuscript. —Editors and compos
itors are very frequently taxed to make out
manuscript that has been written with a lead
pencil and nibbed out, or otherwise made il
legible* We had a case of the kind during
last week, and had gone to a neighboring law
office to borrow a magnifying glass to enable
us to decifther manuscript that had been
rubbed and made almost imperceptible. A
friend told us to hold it to our mouth and
br.-athi*’'MU it a few seconds. We did so, and
the result war'll most miraculous, as it brought
out the penciGiuaeks^and made them easy to
read. The same friend teller jis that holding
such manuscript over a kettle of water is
still bettor* and that it will make pencil
marks imiellible to hold manuscript over a
kettle of boiling water when it is first writ
ten.
Tolerance of Folly. — I have observed
one ingredient somewhat necessary in a man’s
composition towards happiness, which people
of feeling would do well to acquire—a cer
tain respect for the follies of mankind; for
there are so many-fools whom the world en
titles to regard, whom accident has placed in
’heights of which they are unworthy, that he
who cannot restrain his contempt or indigna
tion at the sight will be too often quarreling
with the disposal of Things to relish that share
which is allotted to himself*— Mackenzie.
How the Swiss Make Matches.
It is the general custom in Berne, says a
Swiss writer, that the lover’s father should
play the wooer to the parents of the bride
He frequently goes to them and says: “My
lad likes your daughter. I suppose you have
nothing much against it, and that it will
suit you?” Or sometimes he goes in
more elaborate fashion, as in the case of the
father who knocked one evening late at a
window, begged the old people to look out,
and then began: “It is God’s will that my
boy and your girl should come together. 1
have had to make up mv mind to it, atid so
will you. But 1 should like to ask what dower
you mean to give her—about a thousand
pounds, I fancy.”
“ I approve the match,” returned the other
party, “ but I can’t think of giving her more
than a hundred pounds.”
“You dont mean it!” said the other.
“Indeed I do; not one-hall penny more,
and even that is too much.”
Then replied the former, “It is not God’s
will that the two should come together. The
Lord’s purposes are unfathomable, arid his
ways past finding out. Good eight. No of
fence, 1 hope.”
“ Quite the reverse,” said the other, and
quietly closed the window.
There are many men nearer home and bet
ter educated whose idea of “ God’s will” is
just about as conditional as that of the inter
ested father’s in the above ease.
Fruit vs. Liquor. —The late David Thom
as often made the remark that, among all his
acquaintances, he scarcely knew a person who
was decidedly fond of good fruit who became
a hard drinker. He considered the two tastes
as distinct and antagonistic. There is un
doubtedly much truth in this remark. There
appears to be a natural demand in the system
for fruit, and this demand not being always
met, many are tempted to fib this vacancy by
drinking alcoholic liquors. One of the best
things we <an do, therefore, while we urge the
positive influence of temperance principles,
and the prevention of an intemperate appe
tite by abstaining entirely from the sipping
of liquor, we may endeavor by the extended
culture of fruit in- all its kinds, so as to ex
tend the circle of supply throughout the year,
to assist this benevolent exertion by lessen
ing or taking away the temptation to supply
its deficiency as above stated.
Giving the Devil His Due. —A pastor
was making a call upmi an old lady, who made
it a habitual rule never to speak ill of another,
and had observed it so closely that she always
justified those whom she had heard evil spo
ken of. Before the old lady made her ap
pearance in the parlor, her several children
were speaking of this peculiarity of their
mother, and one of them playfully added :
“ Mother has such a habit of speaking well of
everybody, that I believe if Satan himself
was the subject of conversation, mother would
find some virtue or good quality even in him.”
Os cour-e this remark elicited some smiling
and merriment at the originality of the idea,
in the midst of which the old lady entered the
room, and on being told what had just been
said, she immediately and involuntarily re
plied : “ Well, my children, I wish we all had
Satan’s industry and perseverance."
Dangers of Reverie. —Do anything in
nocent rather than give yourself up to reverie.
I can speak on this point from experience. At
one period of my life I was a dreamer and
castle-builder. Visions of the distant future
took place of present duty and activity. I
spent hours in reverie. I suppose I’was se
djiceif in part by physical debility.
body suffered as much as the mind. I found,
too, that the imagination threatened to inflame
the passions, and that if I meant to be virtu
ous, I must dismiss my mnsings. The con--
flict was a hard one. 1 resolved, prayed, re
sisted, sought refuge in occupation, and at
length triumphed. I beg you to avail your
self of my experience.— Channing.
Confession. —lt is the truth which is as
sailed in every age which tests our fidelity.
It is to confess we are called, not merely to
profess. If I profess with the loudest voice
and the clearest exposition every portion of
the truth of God, except precisely that little
point which the world and the devil are at
that moment attacking. lam not confessing
Christ, however boldly I may be professing
Christianity. Where the battle%ages the loy
alty of the soldier is proved, and to be steady
on all the battle-fields besides is mere flight
and disgrace if he flinches at that point. — Mrs.
Charles.
The Girls. —Can we not—since, while the
power of the world is with men, the influence
lies with women—can we not bring up our
usefully and less showily, less de
pendent on luxury and wealth? Can we not
teach them from babyhood that to labor is a
higher thing than merely to enjoy ; that even
enjoyment itself is never so sweet as when it
has been earned ? Can we not put it into
their minds, whatever may be their station,
principles of truth, simplicity of taste, help
fulness, hatred of waste, and these being
firmly rooted, trust to their blossoming up in
whatever destiny the young maiden may be
called ? — Miss Mulock.
Homily on Practical Religion. —“I
want,” says Uncle Nick, “and we all want a
religion that not only bears on the sinfulness
of sin, but on the rascality of lying and steal
ing—a religion that banishes all small meas
ures from the counterSj small baskets from
the stalls, pebbles from cotton bags, sand
from sugar, chickory from coffee, alum from
bread, lard from butter, strychnine from
wine, and water from milk cans. The reli
gion that is to advance the world,” says Uncle
Nick, “ will not put all the big strawberries
and peaches on the top, and all the bad ones
at the bottom. It will not offer more baskets
of foreign wines than the vineyards ever pro
duced in bottles.”
Debt. —Hunger, cold, rags, hard work, con
tempt, suspicion, unjust reproach,are disagree
able, but debt is infinitely worse than them all.
And if it had pleased God to spare either or
all of my sons to be the support and solace of
my declining years, the lesson which I should
have most earnestly sought to impress upon
them is: Never run into debt. Avoid pecu
niary obligation as you would pestilence or
famine. If you have but fifty cents, and can
get no more for a week, buy a peck of corn,
parch it and live on it, rather than owe any
man a dollar. — Greeley.
Evil Speaking. —To speak ill upon-knowl
edge, shows a want of charity. To speak ill
upon suspicion, shows a want of honesty. To
know evil of others, and not speak it, is some
times discretion. To speak evil of others,
and not know it, is always dishonesty. He
may be evil himself who speaks good of oth
ers upon knowledge; but he can never be
good himself who speaks evil of others upon
suspicion.— Warwick. *
Understanding. —A profoiyid Boston law
yer, some years ago, took his two daughters
to hear Emerson lecture. The daughters
were delighted, affirming that they understood
it all. A friend asked the lawyer, next day,
if he understood the lecture. “No,” said the
lawyer, “ but my gals did.” ’ r ‘
* -
Pulpit Satire.—Rev. William Say, on
one occasion expressing the inconsistencies of
his people, said : “If I were to see the devil
carrying some of you aw r ay bodily, I could
not say, ‘stop, thief,’ for I could not be sure
that he did not have his own property.”
