From the Saturday Evening Post,
TREASURE ON EARTH,
AND
TR I'm HEAVEN.
BY L, s. ARTHUR.

Mr.. Benedict Percivai, one of the weallhiest
men in the city, sat reading a newspaper, when
three gentlemen entered his counting room in
the formal manner in which the committee men
usually present themseIves-especialIy committee
men appointed to raise a subscription for some
public charity. When Mr., Percival opened his
newspaper that morning, the first paragraph that
met his eye was the following -
"At the town meeting held yesterday, a COM
mittee of three from each ward was appointed
to wait upon our citizens to receive their sub
s~criptions in aid of the sufferers by the late de-
s%trctive fire in our sister city, This duty will be
entered upon at once. We trust that the gen.
tIeman who have the matter in charge, will meet
a hearty reception from our liberal minded and
benevolent townsmen. We may lead the van
in this noble work if we will. Let us do it"
Over this Mr.. PercivaI pondered for some time
with his forefnger upon his lip and his eyes up
on the ceiling. At length, as if his action in
the matter was definitely settled, he resumed the
reading Of his newspaper, and was engaged in
that agreeable occupation when the committee
Of gentlemen alluded to above, called in at his
counting room.
Good morning, Mr.. PercivaI," said the spokes-
man.
Good morning, gentlemen responded Mr..
Percival, rising.
we need hardly state our business said the
spokesman. You presided at the meeting, yes
terday, and having assisted in the appointment Of
the committees for the several wards, are aware
that our duty in this one is to wait upon our EEL
low citizens for their subscriptions. We have
called on you to get your name at the head Of
the list. Having that to lead off with, our task
will be an easy one, and the result equal to oul
best hopes. Your subscription we know o
course will be liberal, and that will induce Other
men of ample means, upon whom we shall wal
in succession, to put down large sums. By thi!
plan we hopet to make our ward double the amour
subscribed by any other ward in the city,
we can easily do that returned Mr.. Percival
We have wealth enough. But must decline
heading the list. Let Mr.. r. lead off. He will
do it handsomely, without doubt. Or, Mr., S
will start your subscription literally
The committee men urged Mr.. Percival. t.
comply with their first request, but he was firm
in declining and ultimately told them that h
had made up his mind to place his name las
upon the subscription paper.

What the Voice Said

From the National Era.
What the Voice Said,
Maddened by Earth's wrong and evil,
0Lordm | cried in sudden ire,
" From thy right hand, clothed with thunder,
Shake the bolted fire!
"Love is lost, ard Faith is dying;
With the brute the man is sold;
And the dropping blood Of labor
Hardens into gold.
"Here the dying wall of Famine,
There the battles groan of pain;
And, in silence, smooth face Mammon
Reaping men like grain.
"'Where is God, that wc should fear him?'
Thus the earth-born Titans say;
God! if thou art living, hear us'
Thus the weak ones pray.
Thou, the patient Heaven upbralding,"
Spake a solemn voice within
"Weary of our Lords forbearance,
Art thou free from sin?
Fearless brow to him uplifting,
Canst thou for His thunders call,
Knowing that to quilts attraction
Evermore they fall?
"Know'st thou not all germs of evil
|. thy heart await their time?
Not myself, but Gods restraining,
Stays their growth Of crime.
"Could'st thou boast, oh child of weakness!
Der the sons of wrong and strife,
Were their strong temptations planted
In thy path of life?
"Thou hast seen two streamlets gushing
From one fountain, clear and free,
But by widely varying channels
Searching for the sea.
"Glideth one through greenest valleys,
Kissing them with lips still sweet;
One, mad-roaring down the mountains,
Stagnates at their feet.
"ls 1t choice whereby the Parsee
Kneels before his mothers fire?
In his black tent did the Tartar
Choose his wandering sire?
"He alone, whose hand is bounding
Human power and human will,
Looking through each souls surrounding,
Knows its good or i'll.
"For myself, while wrong and sorrow
Make to thee their strong appeal,
Coward vert thou not, to utter
What the heart must feel.
Earnest words must needs be spoken
When the warm heart bleeds or burns
With its scorn of wrong, or pity
For the wronged, by turns.
"But, by all their natures weakness,
Hidden faults and follies known,
Be thou in rebuking evil,
Conscious of thine own.
"Notthe less shall stern-eyed duty
To thy lips her trumpet set,
But with harsher blasts shall mingle
Wailings of regret"
Cease not, Voice of holy speaking,
Teacher sent of God, be near,
Whispering through the days cool silence,
Let my spirit hear.
So, when thoughts of evil doors
Waken scorn or hatred move,
Shall a mournful fellow-feeling
Temper all with love,

6~A BLESSING To MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN
such may sHERMAN'S WORM lOZENGES be truly called, for
they have saved thousands of children from an untimely grave and
caused the mothers heart to leap for joy, when she had given up
all hope for the recovery Of her offspring. And when it is remem-
bered that worms destroy thousands of children annually, and the
cause is never suspected; and when it is known that these Lozen-
ges are a sure and certain specific, destroying them and invara
bly, bringing them away, surely the heart of every parent will be
hlled with joy at tile announcement Of such n blessing. And not
only are the Doctors preparations for worms good, but his COUGH
