If the Lady Ida was to be found no'more in the haunts of fashion, she was in her home ever thereafter "a ministering spirit." A blessing rested unon her in her daily life ; very gently and tenderly were the little ones led into the fold of the Good Shepherd, and the parents seeing the beauty of their daughter's Christian walk and conversation, were led to seek the living fountain of whose waters she drank bo deeply.

WIIAT MAY BE DONE BY PRACTICE. The account which Lord Chesterfield gives of the method by which he acquired the reputation of being the most polished man in England, is a strong example in a comparatively trival but not unimportant matter of the efficacy of practice. 1 fia appearance #aa much against him, and he hud by nature none ot the grace which afterwards distinguished nim. " I had a strong desire" he says, •' to please, and was sensible that I had nothing but the desire. I therefore resolved if possible, toacqnire the means too. I studied attentively and minutely the dress the air the manner, the address, untl the turn of conversation of all those whom I found to be the people of fushion and most generally allowed to please. When 1 heard of another whose conversation was agreeable and engaging.— 1 listened and attended to the turn of I addressed myself, though de trea mcciivais grace, to all the most fashionable tine ladies ; confessed and laughed with them at my own awkardnoss and rawness, recotnmondiug myself as an for them to try their skill in forming." Lord Bacon says that " to attain good manners it almost sufiiceth not to despise them, and that if a man labor too utoch to express them, he shall lone thoir grace, which is to be natural and unaffected."" To his we may add the observation of La Ro;h&- foucald, that in'manners there are no good copies, for besides that the copy is almost always clumsy or exaggerated, the air which is suited to one person sits ill upon another. The greater mnst have beon the perseverance of Lord Chesterfield to onable bun to acquire the art by which art is concealed, and to assimilate borrowed graces to himself without their degenerating in the stiffness and "incongruity of servilo imitation. He was equally resolved to be an orator, and until he had attained his aim he neglected nothing which oould conduce to it. lie determined not to speak one word in conversation which waa not the fittest he could recall, and he impressed upon his son that he should never deliver the commonest order to a servant "but in the ~ best language he could find, and with the best utterances," For many vears he wroto down every brilliant passage lie met with in his reading and either translated it into French, or, if it was in a foreign language, into English. A certain eloquence became at last, he says, habitual to him, and it would have given more trouble to express himself inelegantly than everhehad taken to avoid the defect. Lord Bolingbroke, who oould talk all dry, just as perfectly as he wrote, told him that ho owed the power to the same cause—an early and constant attention to his Btyle. After Pope had undertaken to translate the Illaid. he was terrified at the diffioalty of the task, had his rost broken by dreams of lone journeys, through unknown ways, and wished that somebody would hang him. The harassing occupation became so easy by practice, that he often dispatched forty or fifty lines in a morning bofore leaving his bed, and could at last compose more readily in verse than in prose.—Quarterly Review, " HiYsiciAif am) Burgeon, carpentering and building.

And so, this merry ( h.'istmas Kve, with the most I rilliant group in tho room g ithered around her, and with every earthly blessing that heart could wish in her possession, Ida felt the old longing for something higher atid purer—more soul-satisfying than she had yet known, rising in hor hearts—and turned away weary of the glare and glitter, tha ceaseless routine of fashionable life. " Is thero nothing more than this to live for ? Has existence no higher aim, no nobler object?" thus spoke the questioning spirit. Half-past eignt o'clock, Still the Lady Ida slept, for it was lone past midnight when her father's carriage had whirled her away from Mrs. Hamilton's door. But the little ones burst gleefully into her room shout ing " Merry Christmasl" and Ida was soon mingling gaily among them. A flood of rosy sunlight poured into the room through tho crimson curtains—and as Ida stood looking into the street, thronged with busy passers-by, irresolute whether to order the carriage or not, her little orphan cousin, who had come to spend the holidays with her frionds, crept softly up to her and asked, "Cousin Idal will you take me toohurch with you thismorning?*mamma always used to tuko me Christmas day, and I should like to go now," " But we do not have an eclipse of the sun every new moon.'

There wns a strange thrill iq her heart, as the wordB of the words of the Lesson felt upon her car: "Behold, I bring you eood tidings of great joy, wnioh shall be to all people,-™ For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
