The man or woman possessed Of home,

enough, without going forth after vain and
idle pleasure. xround the fireside of home

Fame bring from the far-of recesses of the
world.
The broad universe holds no nook or cor

People may smile, and say it is an old
subject; very true, but it is one that will
never wear out. Like the grand notes of
sold Hundred" the sacred tones of " Mont:
gomery," or the inspiring roll of "Corona-

dearer to the heart with each repetition.-

happiness, and folds its wings quietly there

BY VIRGINIA DE FORREST.

"Oh, dear! oh, dear! my feet do ache SO
much |! l can't 60 home!" and the speaker,
apoor, dirty little. girl, sat down on stone
by hewayside, sobbiug bitterly. A light
buggy drove up, passed her, and then a
voice crying "stop, p,~Harry! I've lost my
hat ~ made the child look up. In mo-
ment she sprang after the hat, chased it as
the wind rolled it away from her outstretch-
cd hands, and finally capturing the prize,
went up to meet the gentleman, who had
by this time left the vehicle and was com-
ing towards her.
"Thank you, my little~ girl. Halloo !!
what were you crying abouta Look, Harry
did you ever see such fright2"
"Complimentary!" !" said the young man
who was still in the buggy. "What is tho
matter, Siss"
"Oh, I'm SO tired! and I've got near
mile further to 60"
"WelI, jumpin here. Well take you.
You ran after my hat on the tired little feet,
so well spare them the rest of the walk"
"Oh, please sir, I'm so dirty, and such a
fright; l might spoil the carriage, or-or, !,

."'Pon my word ! If you were not so lit
tie I should think you meant to be sarcastic" !"
was the laughing reply. "There!" and
With strong hand the child was lifted into
the buggy. "Now go ahead, Harry!"
George Morton was not very far wron g
when he denominated the little stranger a
fright. HerFdress was coarse, ragged, and
dusty; her feet bare, and her poor little thin
arms and legs burned brown from exposure
to,the sun. Her face was thin and brown
her hair short, tangled, and straying out
from under the coarse sun bonnet, over her
forehead, and concealing her only beauty, a
pair Of large dark brown eyes, which now,
however, were red with weeping.

pastor of the Tabernacle. The Union says.
The minister requested her to assume the

declined to take off her hooped skirt; the
minister told her of the inconvenienes that
must resul from her obstinacy, but she per

What volume 5 contained in these three
words however lightly they may be spoken
Of For a moment let us glance at the past.
We think of it as something which has gone
forever; We look bnck upon our past mis-
d.eds and actions, the mIsImprovemcnt of
oui time, and gladly would we recall them,
but they are contained in the past and are
gone 70 ever.
The present is always with US, however
much VIC may desire to rid ourselves of it,
still it stands airing Us full in the face.
One marked diie ence between the past
and preseut consists in the fact that the first
we may forget, but the latter we cannot, for
however rapid old Father Time may be, still
the presen, keeps pace, constantly bringing
il to our view.
But what shall we say Of the future? To
the young neither the past n he present
is their happy day, but the bright future
Bright visions Of happiness they can see
away down the stream Of life, and hop
hen large, adds greatly TO its intensity
To the true christian. the future is all he
desires to dwell upon. He looks forward
with Joy to that hour when he shall leave
this world TO 90 and dwell with Him, in that
mansion which is promised to the righteous
Then let us so live that when old age shall
come upon us, we may look back upon tht
past as life well spent the present witt
10Y and satisfaction, and the future with 8
strong hope of a blessed immortality beyone
the grave. l.. j.

This is delightful world, all bright and

Wsscarccly tread the ear,h's unbroken

beautiful thing that God has made.
The necessities of man give him the right
to appropriate the products of nature te his
own use. Yet when his unhallowed hand
is laid upon them. they are deSpoilsd OF
their original beauty.
The hills and wales, the mighty rivers
and little streamlets, the towering tree and

Aloft we behold omnipotence reflected in

of the attributes Of the Eternal and his con

1t was an evening calm and still, sthat
hour when angels Seem to keep watch over
sleeping innocence, and soft music Fl rom the
spirit land seems borne on, that there were
sorrowing hearts in Bethany, for death had
claimed dear one. He had babe farewell
to the scenes of earth. One voice was
hushcd that had SO lately Joined in the
hymns of praise in this world. but not fore
yer. Whe, death had claimed this dear
brother and friend, two weeping sisters sat
beside him, and in their anguish they said,
"Oh! if our friend had been here our bro
ther had not died." but it was not the voice
of murmuring, for they had learned to say,
"Thy will be DONE" When these sisters
heard that Jesus vas coming, how welcome,
must he have been. and he wept with them
and asked. "Whsrs have ye laid him.
How they must have priced this dear
