A Season of Trial.
Wretched, helpless, undeserving, 80
Holy Father, though be,
All my powers, fear unnerving,
Thou alone canst succor me;
Thine the power to answer prayer,
Thine to break the tempter's snare.
Not for fame, or power, or pleasure,
Not for ease, or yet for love,
Not for all earth's boarded treasure,
HOVER vast the glittering store,
But that thou would st shield thy child
Mid lifes rugged darksome wild.
Oft as my weakness feeling,
Thy protection would implore,
Nought of innate guilt concealing,
But would importune the more;
Satan threatens to devour,
Father, save me from this hour.
Heavily, as waves of ocean,
Heaves this laden heart of mine,
Throbbing with intense emotion,
Waiting for one smile of thine,
Father, be my spirits stay,
Bid this cup to pass away.
All thy pillows rolling o er me,
All thy arrows sticking fast,
Walls on either side--before me
Lies the vale that must be passed,
Holy Father, set me free,
Thine the praise of victory.

"Ah Layton. How are you now?"
said Mr.. Grant, as the individual adj
dressed entered his store, about five
o'clock in the afternoon.
"Have you been able to do any
thing?"
"All right at the - office"

Layton looked grave.

Bad-bad," returned Grant, knit

Is there no way to get him off? p
"Pm afraid not. For weeks after
he has been on spree, you can't pre-
vail on him as much as to look at a
glass of liquor He seems to loath it,
and himself too, for his folly
The merchant cast his eyes to the
floor, and mused long in deep perplex-
ity of mind.
"You shall have two hundred dol
lars, Layton, if YOU will keep this ad-
vertisement from appearing" he at
length said. 1t is of the very first
Importance to me that it should not
see the light. Think again. am
sure that you can aid me if you will

piled to this, in slow, thoughtful
voice. after some moments had elapsed.
"How? Speak out freely"

and get into trouble without aiding

A pause followed. Something seem.

he hardly dared venture to speak out
"Don't be afraid of me. l am pre-
pared for any thing. The advertise,

"Humph |"
"How does that strike you 2"
"It will do if it can be done so well
that your other friend will be obliged
to run the press"
"There need be no fear about that
1t can be done so effectually that he
will keep his bed for week.
"Do it then, by all means. Blu,
have you nerve enough 2"
The look that Layton gave the mer
chant, satisfied him that he had moth
ing to fear Oh that head.
In order to provide against all un
forseen contingencies, Layton secured
the prospective cooperation of the
man who would have to take the place
of R at the press, by promise o.
twenty-five dollars in the event of his
suppressing the advertisement.
About half past one o'clock on the

On the other hand, if child is not
so instructed, and he, yet, have inner
tied certain qualities Of mind that
make him good citizen and an honest
man, no matter how anxious he may
be to believe the truths of inspiration,
and to rest with confidence in the as
surance of Divine over-ruling provi-
dence, he will find it very hard to do
so. He may, after while, see clear
ly, and feel in the profoundest depths
of his heart that there is God, and
that He is the rewarder of them that
diligently seek him. But it will be at.
ter passing through dark night of
doubt and fear, before the day star
arise and the morning break joyfully
upon his spirit.
Anna Gray did not understand, very
clearly, the first ideas that were pre-
sented to her mind by Mrs. Grand
The effort to make her see that in the
death of her mother there must be a
dispensation of good, entirely failed.
"No-no-it is not good for young
girl like me to lose her mother was
replied with all the deep pathos of con-
scious truth.
But Mrs. Grand did not Despair
There was good ground in Anna's
mind. In the morning she sowed her
seed, and in the evening withheld not
her hand, trusting that it would find
an entrance somewhere, and spring up
and produce fruit. She did not at
tempt to blind her understand and SUBJ
due her heart with religious awe by
the presentation ofmysterious dogmas
that must be believed or the soul sink,
irretrievably, into ruin. No--hers
was milder faith Love was its rul-
ing principle---love to God and love to
the neighbor. She knew that it was
good that saved--not blind faith
Good of life from a religious ground.
And so she endeavored to make Anna
both see and feel She did not press
the subject upon her ; but led her
mind, almost insensibly, to reflect up
on the relation that exists between the
creature and the creator.
and good She believed, and believed
truly, that only just SO far as any one
came into the true moral order, which
must involve an understanding Of di-
vine and moral laws, and life accord
ing to them, could there be safety on
earth amid it's thousand evil allure
ments. For Anna she felt a genuine
affection, and that prompted her to
seek her good-yea, her highest good.
She knew but one way to do this, and
in that way she sought, diligently, to
bless with the choicest of blessings
the gentle, pure-hearted girl that Prov
idence had committed to her care.

CHAPTER Xxx.

CHAPTER Xxx.
Some months passed, before Mrs.
Grand was able clearly to see the re-
suit of her labor. The result had been
so gradual, and almost imperceptible,
that, even while looking for the signs,
she did not perceive their presence
They were first apparent in calm el-
ovation Of countenance, and more
cheerful tone of voice. While look
ing for an expression of sentiment,
she had passed by these But when
she did notice them, her heart warmed
with emotions such as only they who
seek, unselfshly, the good of others,
can feel.
Nothing Of particular interest to the
reader occurred for nearly ten months
| from the period Anna came under the
roof of Mrs. Grand, further than the
gradual reception of higher truths in
to her mind than she had ever known
before But then an event took place,
than which nothing could have been
more affective. Mrs. Grand was ta-
ken suddenly i'll, and died, after suf-
fering for three weeks the pains of
malignant disease.
Thrown again upon the world, friend
less, Anna Gray was once more COM
PEELED to look around her for shelter
ing nook where she might hide herself
from want and danger. In losing Mrs.
Grand, just at time when she had
created in her mind thirst for pure
and elevating truths that We're to give
her character a just basis, and form it
upon right model, she felt most keen
i ly the bereavement. When her moth
er died, she lost a natural guide and
counsellor-now she had lost spirit
, ual guide and counsellor.
II am indeed alone !" she MUIR
INJURED, as she sat weeping in the little
room where, for nearly ayear, she had
listened to the words Of wisdom as
they came in such gentle and earnest
tones from the lips of Mrs. Grand
The solemn services for the dead mad
been performed, and the body carried
forth and buried. The few friends
that had come to pay the last sad trlb-
ute of tears to the virtues OF one whom
to know was to honor, had departed,
and Anna was left alone. Though cast
down in spirit and afflicted, she did
not yield herself up to murmuring des-
pondency She had been taught a
better lesson in life, and that from the
lips of her now so sincerely mourned.
But it was impossible not to feel sad
in her affliction, and to be in.ested
with doubt and fear for the future.
i The slowly falling twilight, as eve
ming came stealing on, deepened the
gloom that, spite Of all that she could

SAVE YOUR BACON.

A couple Of years ago, we were en-
tertained at a house of a friend, with
a good old fashioned dinner of eggs
and bacon. We complimented our
host on the superior quality Of his ba-
con, and were curious to learn the
way to like success in the preparation
of a dainty article of diet, though one
that is better fitted for the palate of an
cpicure than for the stomach of q dys.

was cooked eight months before
Upon asking for an explanation, he
stated that it was his practice of slice
and fry his bacon Immediately upon
its being cured, and then pack it down
in its own fat. When occasion came
for using it, the slices, slightly refried
had all the freshness and flavor of
new bacon justprepared. By this pre-.
caution, our friend has always sue.
