The edilice rises from the water’s edge, and presents, on its river front, a most magnificent facade of 900 font m length. This is divided into li v e compartments, magnificently decorated, and with niches contain ing statues of all the kiugs and queens of England, from the Con quest until now. At the south-western angle rises the Victoria Tower, 840 feet high. Here is the entrance by which the queen always enters when she comes to open Parliament. Of course, I do not propose to enter into a minute description of the labyrinthinic mases of this vast pile. In fact, excepting Westmin ster Hall, and the two Legislative Halls, the Robing Room, St. Steph en’s Hall, and the Octagon Hall, the apartments are not especially interesting. The first named is the largest room in the world, unsup ported by pillars. Originally built in the reign of William II, it was added to and repaired in the reign of Richard II.

Beaver was very fond of going to church. He would slip away half an hour before the family, for fear of being shut up at home, go around through woods and fields, and come out into the street close by the church where he would wait for his master. Neither scolding uor whipping avail ed to send him back. If Cousin Will left him outside he would enter tlie house as soon as the door was opened. He once, when not allowed to come into the pew, went up and sat down in the pulpit. Another time, when shut up at home, he managed to get away and came trotting up the aisle just as the preacher was giving out his text. His master to prevent disturbance, motioned him to lie down under ljis seat, where he soon fell asleep; but unfortunately he had a bad dream and gave a quick, short bark, which so frightened Will that he hit him with his foot and'Beaver sprang up vith a loud outcry, to the great mor tification of the family.

We may smile at the man’s dis appointment, but should the Lord send down his blessings to us on similar conditions, should we fare better ? It is only when the heart goes with the lips, that our prayers rise as the pleasant perfume of frankin- ceuse to the very throne of God. It is only such prayers of the saints that are treasured up before Him, and that bring down a blessing up on ourselves and others.

The cost of a few flower seeds, a few bedding out plants, is but small, but the benefits they bestow cannot be numbered, because many of them work upon the unseen forces of both heart and soul. Plant but a rose, a geranium or a heliotrope, and learn how closely the love of it will twine around your heart.

A Masonic Goat.—In a small vil lage not a thousand miles from this place, a certain divine whose church is strongly opposed to secret socie ties, annouuced a few weeks ago that he would deliver a discourse against Freemasonry. The apointmet was for Saturday night, and a large audience came t ut to hear him. Just as the speaker began to warm up with his subject a lot of boys went up to the door and opening it shoved in an old billy goat, and locked the door on the outside.

Soon he discovered the speaker gesticulating in the fur ther end of the room, and with a few preliminary nods to assure himself that his neck was in good working order, he made for him on the double- quick. It was as if the ghost of the traditional Masonic goat was after him. Dodging around tlie pulpit he managed to elude billy’s well-aimed butts. Down among the audience they came, the pursued and the pur suer. Women and children mount ed the benches, and such a scene of confusion and such an uproar is not often seen in a solemn assembly. In the meantime the boys were firing a volley of stones at the end of the building. By a strategic movement the goat was caught and tied to a bench and the congregation quieted. The speaker resumed his subject. Billy stood quietly for awhile, but when one of the boys who knew his tricks made a motion at him he be gan to plunge and to rear to get at him creating about as much confus ion as before.

One order to keep her in smiles and de cent humor. Most young men think of “an es tablishment,” and somebody must preside of whom they are proud. They love to hear their friends say : “Well, L has a fine wife—a wo man worth having; she plays and sings, she talks agreeably, and alto gether, makes a sensation.” But wh .m trouble comes, where is the strong helper—the courageous spirit? Those modest homebodies, who seem so timid and backward— who oversee the humble household, and ask no praise but that of the husband’s heart—who shine but lit tle at parties, but who are the stars of home—these are the wives for the trials of earnest life. Their love is the rock never shaken by the tempest. the priest.

The good dame answered the summons in person; and having seated the officer and ascertained his desire to see the Governor, departed to inform her husband of the guest’s arrival; but on ascertaining that the officer had made a hitching-post of her husband, she immediately infor med him that her husband was en gaged iu the yard, and could not verv well wait upon him and his horse at the same time.

He is a vine without any tendrils; a fly drowned in oil; a paper kite in a dead calm. He lives like a butterfly—nobody can tell why. He is as harmless And will not every person get there as well as you?” “No, sir, none can get there but those who claim their title to that kingdom on the ground of this will.” The priest asked him several other questions, to which the boy gave such satisfactory answers as quite astonished him. “Indeed,” said he, “you arc a good boy : take care of the book wherein God gives you such precious prom ises ; believe what lie has said, and you will be happy here and hereafter.’ How to Plant a Tree.—When planting don’t dig a a hole like a bowl cistern, but dig it just as deep as the soil is, and no deeper; make the bottom of it one-third larger round than the top, and loosen up the very bottom. Then, as the tree is planted, throw in firist an inch of real good, fresh, rich soil; set the tree, holding it with one hand while on your knees you spread its roots carefully with the other; let the as sistant drop the dirt in upon the roots as he would if he had a sieve, and, as it is dropped in, do you who hold the tree npon your bended knees, work every root carefully out straight on a level line with the point or junc tion of it with the main stems, use the fingers outspread in mingling the dirt with the roots, and be careful as a penny-worth of sugar-candy, and as useful as a shirt-button with out a hole.

In English, the word Adam is spelled with four letters, but i > Hebrew it is spelled with three letters, ADM. It says: God did ordain that the world should last as long as He sees good. The first man that was created was called Adam; the second man; who was a man after God’s own heart, was call ed David; and the last man that| ever will be born will be the Messiah The first initial stands A., for Adam; bottom, aud also that the earth np on the lower roots is packed the hardest or tightest of any.
