CRIME AND MARRIAGE.-The chaplain
Of the Surrey County Jail communicates
to the London Times statistics, which show
that of 1857 prisoners, only $40 we're
married, and these had an average Of less
than three children each, showing at once
the humanizing tendency Of the marriage
relation, and also that its responsibilities
deter, far more than its burdens and diff.
culties provoke, criminal inclinations.

READING THE BIBLE ALoUD.--The great
DR.. Mason is said to have once made the re-
mark, that " the best commentator of the
Bible is the man who properly reads the En-
glish version" Few of those who sat under
the ministry of this distinguished man would
dispute his opinion. Tradition reports his
reading of the sacred volume to have been u
marvel Of expsesson, power, and effect.
There was no mounting, no affectation, no
mimicry, yet such business of emphasis
and adaptedness of tones, such manifest
comprehension of the whole meaning of the
inspired words, that audiences were stirred as
with sound Of a trumpet. We have heard
venerable minister often speak Of the Won
drous power with which DR.. Mason would
utter the rugged rhymes and desperate III
versions of Rouses Psalms but when he
had in hand the majestic simplicity of the
authorized version he read with an impress
iveness which made the words seem new even
to those who had been familiar with them
from infancy.
Why is it that there are now 50 few, even
among distinguished divines who can thus
by reading give to the naked words Of the
Bible all the force Of judicous common
tary. Why is it that this portion of the
Lords day service, SO important in itself
becomes so dull and Inefficient in practice

The VALUE OF TIME.-When the Roma n
Emperor said, " | have lost day." he utter
ed sadder truth than if he had exclaimed,
" | have lost kingdom" Napoleon said
that the reason why he beat the Austrians
was, that they did not know the value of five
minutes. At the celebrated battle of Rivoli,
the conflict seemed on the point of being de-
cided against him. He saw the critical
state of affairs and instantly took his re-
solution. He despatched flag of truce to
the Austrian headquarters, with proposals
for an armistice. The unwary Austrians fell
into the snare--for few minutes the thun-
ders of battle were hushed Napoleon sez.

Farmers Boys.

Out in every tempest out in every gale,
Buffeting the weather, wind and storm and hail
In the meadow moving, in the shady wood,
Letting in the sunlight where the tall oaks stood.
Every fitting moment each skillful hand employs
Bless me- were there things like farmers boya
Though the palm be callous holding fast the pillow,
= The round cheek is ruddy, and the open brow
Has no lines and burrows wrought by evil hours,
For the heart keeps wholesome, trained in natures bower
Healthy, hearty pastimes the spirit never clogs;
Heaven bless the manly, honest farmers boys!
At the merry huskng, at the apple bee,
How their hearts with genial harmless glee
How the country maidens blush with conscious bliss
At the low word whispered with parting kiss;
Then the Winter evenings with their social joys!
Bless me they pleasant, spent with farmers boys

Improve Your Talent.

. "To whom much is given, much viii be
required" Fellow traveller to eternity, has
God entrusted to thy care wealth, and the
good things of this life? Has He given thee
superior talents and rare abilities? If
wealth is thy portion, then are thy opportnn-
ties and obligations to do good greatly multi
piled. Thou hast no right to spend thy time
and riches merely for the qualification of thine
own desires and appetites; but it is thy du-
ty to do all things for the glory of God and
the advancement of His Kingdom on earth.
IF mighty intellect and superior ability is
thine inheritance, then incalcuably great is
thy responsibility for the proper cultivation
and right use Of thy powers Thou art not
at liberty to employ thy talents to gain hon
Or, wealth and fame solely to crafty thy sell
fish ambition. Does Gold allure thee with
its rainbow promise? Does the tickle voice
of Fame sound sweetly in thy ear? But
grasp them both, and they will wither in thy
hand. Enlist in the service of the " King
of Kings" and wealth, honor and fame that
shall never fade, shall be thine. Thy name
shall be written in the "Lambs Book of
Life" and thy Crown shall be like the stars
for beauty.
Remember that "To whom much is given
much will be required" Has thy Creator
given thee both wealth and superior talents {?
If so, awfully great is thy responsibility, and
woe to thee if thy talents gain not other
Five talents" Take earnest heed, lest at
the Great Day when the Books are opened"
thou shalt be found to be an Improbable SER
want. God gave thee all that thou hast, and
at thy hand will He require it with the gain
thereof Inscrbe upon thy heart in charac-
ters that cannot be efaced, the sacred words,
"To whom much is given, much will be re-
,.quired."
Impenitent sinner, dwelling in the land of
gospel light and privileges, what wilt thou
answer when the Judge shall call thee to an
account for thy misspent time, and thy cold
neglect of all the means of grace? Thou
mayest put the evil day far from thee, but
come it will, and then great ransom cannot
deliver thee. The Queen of the South
shall rise up against thee, because she repent
ed at the preaching of Solomon, and behold
thou hast heard and seen greater things than
did she. God says to thee, "Son, give me
thine heart" A more just and reasonable
requirement He could not make, and as the
Lord liveth, thy life shall set in thick dark
ness if thou obey not the command Come
now, ere the cold waters of death overwheln
thee, and be at peace with Him. In His
presence is fullness of JOY forevermorc, anc
thy soul shall be satisfied with good things.
Leave the Bcggarly elements of Thu
world, and walk in the Bissful path tina
grows brighter and brighter unto the per-
feet day o, forget not that TO whom
much is given, much will be required"

"AA16AU IVA uS1ASS IAN1AS'
There's world of meaning, deep, deep tone,
An echoing sound in that word-alone
Alas how many have felt its power,
In the darksome day, in the midnight hour.
When the Ere dies out, on the dear hearthstone,
And loved crosleaye us, one by one.
To the dying one, far from friends and home,
Oh, how dreary and sad to be all alone
When the pickering life-amp burns dim and low.
And the fits of fever come and go,
How the yearning Soul longs for the faces kind,
And the presence of dear ones left behind
There are hours when distrust like funeral pail,
Binds the crushed spirit with iron thrall;
When the seeming friendship the world bestows
Wthers and scathes US like burning Goals;
When the jsst, the laugh the light gay tone,
Seem but to echo, alone, alone.
And there is loneliness of the heart
We feel even III fashions crowded mart,
when the sound of revelry, mirth and joy,
Are to life but the sordd and dark alloy,
And we glad Escape from the gorgeous saloon,
Where melody mocks at the heart out Of tune.
Still, we may be alone, yet not alone,
There's presence overshadowng every one,
There's lamp divine to light our way,
That burns with pnre celestial ray,
Nor brightest of scenes Earth can show,
, Can rival lis intenser glow E. S. ANDREWS

VALUE OF PRAYER.-Prayer is haven to
the shipwrecked man, an anchor to them that
are sinking in the waves, staff to the limbs
that totter, mine of jewels to the poor, a
healer of diseases, and guardian of health.
Prayer at once secures the continuance Of
our blessings, and dissipates the cloud of our
calamities. Oblessed prayer? thou art the
unwearied conquerer of human woes, the firm
foundation of human happiness, the source
of ever enduring JOY the mother Of philos-
ophy. The man who can pray truly, though
langhishing in EXTREMIST indigence is richer
than all besides; whilst the wretch he never
bowed the knee though proudly seated as
monarch of all nations, is of all men the
most destitute Chrysostom.

Aristocr2oy.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

OF all the Notable things on earth,
The queerest one is pride of birth
Among our " fierce Democracy"
A bridge across a hundred years,
Without prop to save from sneers--
Not even a couple of rotten Peers
A thing for Laughter, sneers and jeers,
Is American Arstocracy.
Depend upon it, my snobbish friend,
Your family thread you can't ascend
Without good reason to appreheHd
You may find it waXed at the farther end
BY some plebeian vocation!
Or worse than that, your boosted line
May end ina loop of stronger Irvine,
That plagued some worthy relation!
Because you flourish in worldly affairs,
Don't be naughty and put on airs
With insolent pride Of station
Don't be proud and turn up your nose,
AT poorer people in palmer clothes,
But learn for the sake of your minds repose.
That wealth's a bubble that comes-and goes
And3that all proud flesh, wherever it grows,
IL subject to irritation!
