reprove him.

will thank you to cut off as much as you

Ihope you will not be oAended,' she re-
piled.
Not at all, madam
Without much ceremony she folded and
cut off large piece of the bands.
'Are you now satisfied? look again and
see; perhaps you had better cut off lit
lie more, while you are about it, and be sat-
isfed.'

And she cut off a second piece, which
she thought would do.

WHO is A CHRISTIAN?

He is Christian-he alone
Who has generous mind,
And makes his neighbours grief his own,
Is gentle meek and kind.
He is Christian-he alone,
Who with heart of love,
Points the worn pilgrim to the throne,
Where mercy flows above.
He is a Christlan-he alone,
Within whose breast sincere,
Pride, envy, hate, are never known,
But love shines pure and clear.
Such life be mine-a Christian true
From selfish passion free
With Christ's example bright in view,
Love and humanity.

The more gaze, the more | love
The gloties there see.
Fair nature on her bosom wears
A thousand smiles to cheer
To bless amid the varied cares
That throng my pathway here.
The pleasant breeze that fans my cheek
Upon its grateful wings,
Wandering along the glen and brake,
Refreshing odor brings.

Its Maker and makind--
Aloot from envy-passlon's thrall--

TME.-Man is ever quarrellng with
Time. Time flies too swiftly, or creeps too
slowly. His distemyered vision conjures
up a dwarf or giant; hence Time is too
short, or Time is too long! Now Time
hangs heavy on his hands; yet for most
things he cannot find Time. Though time
serving he makes lackeyof Time; asking
Time to pay his debts; Time to eat his din
mel; Time for all things.
