which may be read in the golden hours of the Sabbetb,
without fear of finding auything to divert the thoughts
from the blessed engagements and ideas of the day. Yet
parts of the world moat widely divided are gleaned from,
in order to provide varied and interesting reading. No

Norway to South Africa, from France t Afghanistan, way
the Christian roam as be meditates on the spread of that
kingdom which he wishes to bear is filling the whole
world. " Modern R miasmal in Francs" sill be • good
answer to those who DOW wish to make us believe that
Papallem is • worship of the Spirit. Observe this :
' Idolatry has tome to know no longer soy bounds.

Conception, has developed from day to day, Making of the

comes from one of our clergymen whoa.. names are
"Familiar in our mouths., household word.," we must
quote—

AN OLD FABLI RE-TOLD.
Osceola • llme, when birds talked Greek.
And posts often heard them speak.
A sweet-voiced leak, with feathery crest.
Deep in a corn-hid built her next;
And so it chanced, when autumn suns
The golden grain had perfected.
Fledged were Comities little onea,
And growing metier in their bad.
Forth when she fared to quest their toed.
She bade them all be still and good.
And notice well whats'er occurred,
Reporting all they :taw or heard.
Sion came the farmer and his soa.
Said he " Tines earl aro full and white,
'Tis time that harvest were begun
Go quickly, then, our (fiends invite,
Tell them their help we fain would borrow,
And bid them come at dawn to-morrow."
They went their way: C•mita came,
And found her brood in doleful frame :
"Oh mother, mother dear," they cr.,
"wok. huts, we pray thee let on fly.
'Tie certain that to-morrow morn
Their (reindeers asked to reap the corn.'
"Nay. trouble not,' said she, " my dears ;
Groundless and premature your fears;
For if the harvesting depend.
Not on the farmer but his friend.,
To-morrow will not see Meal 0,43.3.
Nor we be forced to shift our home.'
Next day she goes on quest again
The (urger welts, and waits in vain:
Bristit shines the sun ; but all for nought,
For still no reaper friends it brought.
Then to his boy again ha spoke :
" Our friends are sadly lazy folk:
No doubt our cousins and our neighbour,
Would come to help us in our labour.;
So to to them, and give them warning
To come betimes to-morrow morning. '
Thu, too, the trembling brood report
Their mother bide them oease from worry;
"Cousins," she said," are not the sort
To come end work in such • hurry;
Yet mind you keep an open ear,
And recollect what next you hew,"
Away she flew' the farmer came ;
tjuoth he, "1 flnd they're all the USW.
A cousin's faithless as • friend
Lacs go and get us sickles two,
That's one for me and one for you,
And thus ourselves the mattrr end
For if to-morrow we begin,
We soca shall have the harvest In.'
Camas hem earl she. "N, doubt
The time's arrived for clearing out;
For, as the master told his eon,
Harvest will straightway lie *tux
Since now Huy seek not help elsewhere,
But undertake their own affair,"
