John Bunyan's SiIver Mine.-In these
days of rushing after gold, as a seasonable
warning, we copy for perusal the following
passage from Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress
At the farthest side Of the plain called Ease,
was little hill called Lucre, and in that bill
a silver mine, which some of them that had
formerly gone that way, because Gifts rarity,
had turned aside to see; but going too near
the brim of the pit, the ground being deceit
ful under them, broke and they were slain.
Some also had been manned there, and could
not, to their dying day, be their own men
again.
Then saw in my dream, that little of
Of the road over againstthe silver mine, stood
Demas, TO call passengers to come and see
who said to Christian and his fellows
'Ho turn aside hitherto, and l will show
you thing
'What thing so deserving as to turn us
from the way9' asked Christian.
Here is silver mine and some digging
In it for treasure. If you will come, with a
little pains you may richly provide for your
selves
Then SAID Hopeful, Let us so and see.'
Not /, said Christian. / have before
heard of this place, and how many here have
been slain and besides that treasure is snare
to those that seek it, for it hindereth them il
their pilgrimage
Then Christian called to Demas, saying
is not this place dangerous q
Not very dangerous, except to those tha
nre careless But withal he blushed as h
spoke.
Then said Christian to Hopeful, let u
not stir step, but still keep on our way
Il will warrant you, when By-ends come
up, if he has tho same invitation as we, h
will turn in hither to see.
No doubt thereof, said Christian, for h
principles lead him that way, and hundre

Ny Mothers Last Prayey-T was very

the last and most helpless Of those little girls

Of my varied existence, the remembrance of
that being who departed so early and so

the sad link which ever gives forth a thrill of
funeral music when my heart turns to it, mu-

emn, as that chain is strengthened BY thought

and her voice fainter and more gentle day
by day, till at last she sunk to her bed, and
and We we're called upon tosee her die. Pale
troubled faces were around her death-pillow
men with sad faces, women overwhelmed
with tears and sympathy, and children that
wept they knew not why.
She murmured, anl placed her pale hand
on my head-ny heart sweled within me,

Her lips moved and voice tremuous and
very low came family through them. These
words broken and sweet as they were, left the
first deep impression that ever has remained
on my memory: Lead her not into temp

my mothers last prayer. In that imperfect
sentence her voice was huShed forever
Young as then was, that prsyer entered
my heart with solemn strength. 1t has
