DONG SoMErH1Ne.-A very tall gentleman
paid visit to a lady one cold wintry day.
As the fire burned bright and warm, he took
off his great-coat during his stay. On rising
to leave, little girl, hardly higher than the
tall gentleman's knees, who wanted to do
something to show her love to'her mammals
friend, said, in moment of happy forgetful-
ness of her height, "Do let me help you on
with your great-coat, sir" Mamma, aston
ished, said, I" My dear, you forget how short
you are" But the loving grl was not to be
beaten; she wanted to do something and she
would do something to show her love; so she
quickly answered, Never mind, mamma ;
but if | can't help on the grcat-coat, | can
run and fetch the gentleman's walking stick"
We are none of us too short, or too any,
thing, to be quite disabled from doing some
thing useful and if we desire to do it, we
shall not want the opportunity.

The GARMENT OF LF-RIGHTEoUsNEss.-
Years ago, white man and an Indian were
deeply convicted under the same sermon. The
Indian almost Immediately was rejoicing in
pardoning mercy, but the white man was for
long time in great distress and almost de-
spair, until at last he too found peace in Gods
forgiving love.
Some time afterwards, on meeting his In
dian brother he asked him How was it that
| should be SO long under conviction, when
you found comfort so soon?" ooh brother"
replied the Indian, me tell you: there come
along a rich prince he promised to give you
new coat, you look at your coat and say, Il
don't know, my coat pretty good, it will do a
little longer He then offer me new coat.
| look at my old blanket; | say, This good for
nothing; I fling it right away, and took the
new coat. just so, brother, you try to make
your old righteousness do for little while,
you slow to give it up; but |, poor Indian,
had none; so glad to take at once the right
eousness of the Lord Jesus Christ"

What if you have enemies! It is only an
evidence of your thrift, your growth, your
enterprise, your superiority over your jeal-
ous-ly disposed neighbors. Every man of
true merit has his enemies; they always have
had from time immemorial down to the pres
ent, and always will have. 1t seems almost
indispensable with ones prosperity. They
will talk about you-misrepresent and SLAM
der you, they must do it; they feel envious
towards you at your success and fsttering
prospects. They are outrivaled, chagrined,
mortified and even maddened at your honor
ably gained high position above them. They
see with suspicious eye that you attract
more attention-more public notice than they,
and their narrow minds are fired with envy
towards you, and they will try every means
that their evil genius can possibly invent,
to level you down to their low standard.
But pay no attention to them, 60 straight
forward, mind your own business, and they
will be of but little trouble to you. They
must be fed in order to live; have something
to combat against-receivo replies which is
their life, or they soon starve out and die.
A contention they seek, and when gained
their highest ends are attained you have
taken downward step-beeome contamin-
ated, and they will continue to hang about
you like milestone, SO long as you give them
an opportunity, by unnecessary alteration,
to fasten their fangs upon you. Therefore
dispute not with them when you meet them,
pass by upon the other side-your course is
far above theirs, and if you rightly pursue it
you will soon be beyond their reach, with
nothing to disturb, -fattering prospects beck
oning you on, and they, array back in the dis
lance, sunk deep in their own dark impreca-
tinns. B.

The Bibles of the World.

Including under this head, after the He
brew and Greek Scriptures, the sacred books
of Christendom, sacred book sembody-
ing the wisdom and the religion of the hea-
then and in addition such works as Pascal's
Thoughts" and the " Imitation OF Christ,
the following well-written paragraph is part
of an article on Books " in the Atlantic Mag
aZlne -
All these books are the majestic express
ions of the universal conscience, and are more
to our daily purpose than this years alma
nae or this days newspaper. But they are
for the closet, and to be read on the Bonded
knee. Their communications are not to be
given Or taken with the lips and the end OF
the tongue, but out of the glow Of the cheeks
and with the throbbing of the heart. Friend
ship should give and take, solitude and time
broods and ripen, heroes absorb and enact
them. They are not to be held by letters
printed on page, but are living character,
transferable into every tongue and form of
life. I read them on lichens and bark; |
watch them on the waves on the beach they
fly in birds, they creep in worms; l detect
them in laughter and bushes and eye-spark-
les of men and women, These are Scrip
lures which the missionary might well carry
over prairie, desert, and ocean, to Siberia,
Japan, Timbuctoo. Yet he will find that the
spirit that is in them journeys faster than he,
and greet him on his arrival, was there al
ready long before him. The missionary must
be carried by it, and find it there, or he goes
in vain. Is there any geography in these
things? We call them Asiatic, we call them
primeval; but perhaps that is only optica;
for Nature is always equal to herself, and
there are as good pairs of eyes and ears
now in the planet as ever were. Only these
calculations of the soul are uttered one or a
few at a time, at long intervals, and it takes
milenniums to make Bible.

and to flee for refuge to Jesus Christ, as in

highly dangerous The man-slayor, when
fleeing to the city ofrefuge before the aven-

the city too soon. Set your reason to work

Give us this Day our Daily Bread"

Never, perhaps, in the history of our fav-
ored country, has there been time when the
detached portion of that simple petition
The Lords Prayer, forming the caption of
this article, was more appropriate or more
appropriately uttered, OR, indeed, was there
ever more occasion for its utterance, than at
the present crisis to which we as people
have arrived. There are, it is true, every
year more or less persons, heads Of families,
who, their means Of support having been sud-
denly cut off in mid-wnter, are at loss for
the means wherewith to procure bread for
their families. More especially has this been
the case in the larger cities, New ork, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia for instance, where the
sources Of employment are more fuctuating
than in the manufacturing districts. But
this year the depression is general we may al
most say universal, affecting to a greater OR
less extent all branches of labor, paralyzing
some and totally prostrating others.
Men whose only capital is ability to work
and disposition to use it to the best advan-
tage, find every prop knocked from under
them, and themselves Frustrated beyond the
ability to rise.
How shall we get through the coming win
ter is the all absorbing topic which occupies
the public mind everywhere, and men with
willing hearts and able hands shrink back APP
palled at the prospect. Those who have faith
in God and his ovcrruling Providence, who
daily offer up to him the simple prayer, from
which we have quoted, will, when they utter
the brief quotation, feel more deeply its force
from their sense of dependence on Him.
Let us not give way to useless repinings
but rather look up to that Father whose pro-
mise is ever sure to those who trust in Him.
and wait the coming Of better days. Adver.
sity has its lessons, aud, if we seek to profit
by them, we shall find our hearts purer, our
purposes stronger, and ourselves nearer to
that standard of correct living, which it
should be the aim of every individual to at
tain.-FaU River Star.

HoME.-What IS the most beautiful thing
which the New-year's sun shines upon? A
happy home. Is that drunkard'a home ?
No. A rich home or poor mans home
No. A country home? No. A city home ?
No. tits Christian home, wherever found.
This is the happy home, where Gods love is
the sunshine, and a thankful, humble, peaceful
spirit fills the air like sweet scents.
A young man once left the paths of virtue
and fell into wickedness. "But Oh" said he
1" | was never, never happy; for wherever 1
went and which way I turned, an angel met
me in the aoay. That angel was the image
of my Christian Nome, and it forever remind
ed me of my fathers counsels, my sisters
love, my mothers prayers, my innocent boy
hood. | could not get away from it," And
at last it brought the wanderer back.

The Wind and Stream.

Brook came stealing from the ground
You scarcely saw its silvery CLEAN
Among the herbs that hung around
The borders of that winding stream,-
pretty stream, a placid stream,
softly gliding, bashful stream.
A Breeze came wandering from the sky,
Light as the whispers of dream;
He put the overhanging branches by,
And gully stopped to kiss the stream,-
The pretty stream, tho flattered stream,
The shy, yet unreuctant stream.
The Water, as the Wind passed Ger,
Shot upward many glanoing beam,
Dimpled and quivered more and more,
And tripped along a livelier stream,-
The fattered stream, the simpering stream.
The fond, delighted, silly stream.
Away the airy wanderer flew,
To where the fields with blossoms TEEN,
To sparkling springs and rivers blue,
And left alone that little stream
The battered stream, the cheated stream,
The sad, forsaken, lonely stream.
That careless Wind no more came back:
He wanders yet the fields, I deem
But on its melancholy track
Complaining went the little stream
The cheated stream, the hopeless stream,
The eyer-murmuring, moaning stream.

Sportive and beautful-rosy and wild,
Born of moment are the joys of child,
Dancing the 'waysdes of laughter along,
Singing like wild birds changeable song
Plucking unheeding each half faded flower,
Painting with sunbeams each hurrying hour,
Asking If "angels can come from the sky,
To scatter the blossoms that gladden. the eyer"
Wondering why angels from regions afar
Brought not to this earth just one little star
Just one little star-gem to shine here alone,
Even when the angels go back to their throne.
Strange, very strange the thoughts of the child
So trusting and fanciful-joyous and wild,
Oh, very sweet is that premature bliss,
Born of fancy-won by kiss;
But the rainbow of joys-the season of Youth.
When this earth is all robed in radiant truth
When the pulses leap high to the music of Hope,
And the gardens of love in their brilliancy ope,
Till each pleasure enjoyed some follower hath
Bright are youths joys and chdhood's gay mirth.
But there's yet beautiful joy on this earth.
TITS heavenly joy-divine and mature
Too earnest to fade--too full and too pure
A JOY soft and refined, yet crowned with bliss
What SO complete-so heavenly as this!
joy that never loses the innocent light
That dawnd Ger promise in the youth time bripb
Alloy that still freshens, as years roll away
That brightens and CLOVIS as advances the day.
