Saturday Night.

What blessed things Saturday nights are,
and what would the world do without them
Those breathing moments in the tramplng
march of life; those little twilights in the
broad and garish glare of noon, when pale
yesterday looked beautiful through the shad-
ows, and faces changed long ago, smile
sweetly-again in the hush when one remem-
bers the old folks at home," and the old
fashioned fire, and the old arm chair, and the
little brother that died, and the little sister
that was Is translated"
Saturday nights make people human; set
their hearts to beating softly, as they used to
do before the world turned them into wax
drums and Jared them to pieces with tattoes.
The ledger closes with clash the iron
doored vaults come to with bang; up go
the shutters with will; click goes the key
in the lock. 1t is Saturday night, and bust
ness breathes free again. Homeward, no |!
The door that has been ajar all the week
gently closes behind him, the world is shut
out Shut out Shut in rather. Here are
the treasures after all, and not in the vault,

May be you are bachelor, frosty and

are nothing to you, just as you are nothing to
anything. Get wife, blue-eyed, or black
eyed, but above all true-eyed-get home,
no matter how little, and little sofa, just to
hold two, or two and a half, and then get the
two or two and half in it, on Saturday
night, land then read this paragraph by the

NEVER JEST WITH SoRIpTURE.-It is of
great Importance that we should resist the
temptation, frequently so strong, of annex
ing familiar, facetious, or irreverent idea
to Scriptural expression, a Scriptural text
or a Scriptural name. Nor should we hold
ourselves guiltess though we may have been
misled by mere negligence, or want of reAec-
ton. Every person Of good taste will avoid
reading a parody, or travestie of a beauti-
ful poem, because the recollection of the de-
graded likeness will always obtrude itself up
on our memories when we wish to derive
pleasure from the contemplation of the ele-
gance Of the original. But how much more
urgent is the duty by which We arc bound to
keep the pages of the Bible clear of any i'm
preston tending to diminish the blessings of
habitual respect and reverence towards our
Makers law.-Pmgroce.

dian winds, and heralded by the musical
droppings Of the dew drops, as they fall in
shower of liquid diamonds upon the dry,
leafy floor beneath. Oh, how beautiful! as
looking down through long vista of waving
boughs, the leaves all coated with the silyery
sheen, and lifted from sleep by the arms OF
the wavy wind, it seems rolling sea Of Ii
quid glass floating over the emerald green OF
drowning meadow, or rather, as if some
air-god had pillowed himself upon this luxu-
RANT bed of foliage, and over him lowered,
on gauze-like wings, the attending troops and
shedding this sweet dew, midnight offering
from out their ever-waving pinions, covering
him with its web-like softness, and which as
he wakes he gathers about him the shining
folds, and gathering up the glittering gems,
he strews them in wild and rich profusion
over the velvet floor, like pearls and orange
blossoms before bride.
You have only to close your eyes and i'm
agine the merry music of the falling drops
the patter of fairy feet as they whirl in a
mary dance, fitting here and there like gold
en- bugs dancing on the sunshine. Oper
them now and see the fairies; but whittier
are they tending7 They seem drawn by some
invisible agency to one common centre in thu
hollow Of the wood
Standing in groups, whirling in circles
now flying off at tangent, and now draw
together like chips in tiny Whirlpool go thu
little dancers, all forming one great circl
around stick of messy gold standing like
May-pole in the centre. IT'S the dance o
the flower jewels.
There are tulips carved from sapphires
blue-bells and forget-me-nots cut from tn
beautiful blue turquoise, flowers of every hui
and form, wrought from solid jewels, ant
twined in glittering rings about the glowing
gold.
Emeralds, carved and cut into wreaths al
twined about with snow-drops wrought witt
cunning skill from milk white pearls, noel
the life with a luxuriant beauty.
Lilies are there, fashioned from magnifi
cent diamonds that have lain for years be
meath the crystal waters of some Orienta
river, and grown bewilderingly bright from
the long-continued caresses of its liquid arms
and perhaps but lately decked the brows AM
bosoms Of fair Andlausian maids, and in thei
sweet security have dared reflect the love
light in those glorious eyes.
But browning beauty of the whole is see
budding from the very top Of the golden phi
