Passing Thoughts.

ANOTHER MEMORY OF THE PRAYING TEACHER.
We all knew that she was in the habit of
staying at the school-room few moments
after school, and when the children sometimes
fingered around the door, waiting for her to
walk home with them, she would tell them not
to wait for her, she would come in few mo-
ments We supposed she remained to ar
range her books~and put in order the school
room, or to fill out the school accounts for the
day. But one night, after we had gone
short distance on our way home, one of the
girls said to me, 81 have left my book
please wait for me while | go back after it."
So | sat down by the roadside, while she
ran back to the school-house. After while
l saw her coming back, but walking slowly
and looking very thoughtful. "Where is
your book ?" l cried, as she drew nearer and
| saw she had not the book which she went
for. She gave me no answer, until she came
and sat down upon the bank beside me- then
with low voice, almost whisper, she told
me how she went to the door of the school
room, and had almost laid her hand upon the
latch, when she suddenly drew back, thinking
she heard voice; she listened moment
yes, it was the voice of prayer the door was
slightly ajar, and glancing in she saw Miss
Y. kneelng there in earnest prayer. II didn't
wish to disturb her," she added, $50 l just
stepped aside to come away; but oh, l could
not help waiting moment to hear her, she
did pray SO good, 50 earnest.
This, then, was why she wished to be left
alone after school was closed she wished
with the voice, to pour forth the desires of
her heart in secret prayer to God at her
boarding-place she had not the retirement she
could wish, so she knet there in the stiffness
Of the deserted school-room, the very scene
of her daily labors to spend the hour of holy
communion with her Savior, without which
she felt that she could not live. Here, then,
was where her strength was ronowed-here
was where, drawing nigh to God, her soul
was baptized anew with the Holy Spirit that
she might go forth to the daily duties of life,
strong in the Lord. Need we longer wonder
at the earnestness, the holy eloquence of those
morning prayers to which we daily listened
since we knew it was taught her of God in
these secret devotious
After this, a feeling of awe and reverence
would come stealing over my mind at close Of
school; and the gleeful mirth of the younger
scholars Jared upon my feelings, but they
knew 1T not; only we two knew the secret
knew why our teacher waited for us to go and
leave her alone. And oh, how many prayers
fervent, soulfelt prayers, did that school-roon
witness during that summer.
The old schoolhouse is in ruins; the grass
grows above our teachers grave-aye, and
above some of the scholars: the rest are scat.
tered far and wide, over the earth. But shall
these holy memories perish? nay, they are
enshrlncd too deep within the he.rt to be
easily effaced. And are not those prayers al
remembered before the Throne above
ELITE.

How Shall Become Christian q

HOW snail L become CnT1SSCan.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ" says
the Bible. That is-Give up your disobe-
dienco to God and your neglect of his Cos
pei, and, asking forgiveness for the past, take
Christ as your Savior, and consecrate your
self to him entirely and for ever.
Hence, in order to become Christian, it
is not necessary that we have a given amount
of emotion, or of excitement, whether in
view of our sins, or of our eternal danger, or
of the glorious hopes set before US in the
Gospel. " One thing is needful," said the
Redeemer-only one and that is, to aban-
don our past neglect Of him, and make him,
henceforth, our Savior, our Master, our
Teacher, our all. The Israelite bitten by
fiery serpents was to look at serpent of
brass lifted upon pole that alone was nee.
essary, Till he did that, the greatest amount
of pain or of fear availed him nothing.
When he did that his cure began. "And
as Moses lifted up the serpent in the will
derness, even so must the Son of Man be lift
ed up that whatsoever believcth in him should
not perish but have eternal life" He has
been lifted up, and whosoever Cooks shall
live.
And nothing but this will do. No amount
of feeling will do No good works will do.
No effort to make oneself better will do. Any
attempt to make conviction of sin, or any,
thing of our oao,,, take the place or the grace
Of God in Christ is but form of self-right-
| that Of +hot calH oh.
ness which is to be given up. In becoming
Christians, then, we make Christ all our SAL
walton.
And we give up our all to Christ; not
only our property, our talents, and our time,
but our desires, our feelings, our aims, our
aspirations, our plans of life-yes all. And
because we give up all, we give up self-de-
peudence for perseverance in the Christian
course; and with sell-dependence. we resign
self-con6dence on the one hand, and unbe-
lieving fears on the other. He has said, for
our admonition, Without me ye can do
nothing and again for our encouragement,
"My grace is sufficient for thee, for my
strength is made perfect in weakness" We
believe these declarations, and rely on the
Holy Spirit, sent by him in answer to prayer
for strength to overcome the world, our great
adversary, and ourselves.
Reader. DO you know yourself to be sin
ner? Then you may come to Christ and
may come mow. You believe that you need a
Savior, and that Christ is the Savior you
need act on your belief by making him
your Savior. The hayward little child, who
has stood obstinately refusing his fathers call
to him finds it a very simple thing at last to
fall into his fathers arms. So simple is it
to cease refusing the Savior's invitation, and
humbly, penitently, trustingly, to accept it
Will you not do SO? And as you close this
tract will you not, with prayer for Divine
forgiveness and praise for Divine mercies
say
GA guilty, weak, ndhelpless worm,
On thy kind arms fall
Be thou my strength and righteousness,
My Savior, and my all"

LIES IRRTABILIrIEs.-What is the use of
it? Do not worry yourself to death of what
other people may say of you, as long as you
know that it is not true. Take care of tho
truth that is your business. All falsehoods
60 to the bosom of their father, the devil,
and their trainers soon follow. So much as
to falsehoods of you. As to falsehoods to
you, and as TIC every tale the most remotely
prejudicial to anoth,r, treat it and the narra-
tor with the utmost Indifference, until you
hear the story Of the other party; this on
ly is just, and wise, and kind.

The Effect of a Wrong Word,

The Effect OF a Wrong Word.
Awhisper awoke the air,
A soft, light tone, and low,
Yet barded with shame and woe
All might it only perish there,
No further go.
But no aquick and eager ear
Caught up the little meaning sound;
Another voice has breathed it clear,
And so it wandered round
From ear tolip, from lip to ear,
Until it reached a gentle heart,
That throbbed from all the world apart
And that it broke.
It was the only heart it found,
The only heart twas meant to find,
When first its accents woke;
1t reached the gentle heart at last,
And that 1t broke.
Low as it seemed to; others ears,
1t came thunder crash to hers
That fragile girl, SO fair and gay.
IT'S said lonely humming- bird,
That, dreaming in lily lay,
Was killed but by the gums report
Some idle boy had fred in sport;
So exquisite frail its frame,
The very sound death-blow came.
And thus her heart unused shame,
shined in its lily too;
Her light and happy heart that beat
With love and hope, SO fast and sweet,
When first that cruel word 1t heard
1t fluttered like frightened bird;
Then shut its wings and sighed,
And with silent shudder died.

MAKING Provisions FOR YOU'VE Man.
Making small provision for young men is
hardly justifable, and is of all things the
most prejudical to themselves. They think
what they have much larger than it really is,
and make no exertion. The young should
never hear any language but this" You
have your own way to make, and it depends
upon your own exertions whether you starve
or not"

The PLEASURES OF LEARNING.--A child
has a number OF faculties. Does he come
into the world with disinclination to use
them ? No: he delights to use them and
every time he uses them, he feels the more
inclination to do SO. The mind is ready to
work, only let the work be suited to his ca
pacity. Lay open the avenues to knowledge
make your steps sure, and labor will then be
its own reward.

Stars and Flowers.

nj OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
When Eve had led her lord away,
And Cain had killed his brother,
The stars and flowers, the poets say,
Agreed with one another,
To cheat the cunning tempter's art,
And teach the race its duty,
By keeping on its wicked heart
There eyes of light and beauty.
million sleepess lids, they say,
Will be at least warning;
And so the flowers would watch by day,
This stars from eve to morning.
On hill and prairie, field and lawn,
Their dewy eyes upturning,
The flowers still watch from reddening dawn
Till western skys are burning.
Alas each hour of daylight tells
A tail of shame so crushing,
That some turn white as sea-bleached shells,
And some are always blushing.
But when the patient stars look down
On all their light discovers,
The traitors smile, the murderer's frown,
The lips Of lying lovers,
They try to shut their saddening eyes,
And in the vain endeavor
We see them twinkling in the skies,
And so they wink forever.
