WHEAT OR TAREs.

"Wheat or Tares-which are you SOW
ing, Fanny dear, in the mind Of this
little fellow" said Uncle Lincoln to his
niece, Mrs. Howard, and he lifted a
child, not beyond his fourth summer,
upon his knee, and laid one Of his hands
amid the golden curls that fell about
his neck, clustered about his snowy
temples.
"Wheat, I trust, Uncle Lincoln, re-
piled Mrs. Howard, smiling, yet serious
at is the enemy who sows tares-and
am his mother"
There was a glow of proud feeling in
the countenance Of Mrs. Howard, as
she said, "I am his mother"
1t was Mr.. Lincoln's first visit TO his
niece since her marriage and removal to
city some hundred miles away from
her old home.
Even a mothers hand may SOW

have seen it done many times. Not Of
design, but in thoughtless iuattention
TO the quality Of the seed she held in
her hand, The enemy mixes tares with
the wheat quite as often as he scatters
evil seed. The husbandman must not
only watch his fields by night and day,
but also the repositories Of his grain,
lest the enemy cause him to SOW tares as
well as wheat upon his own fruitful
ground"

Seeing that the wayward child did
not mean to heed her words, the moth

prevent the spools Of cotton, scissors

Willie laughed in great glee at this
exploit, while Mrs. Howard gathered up
the contents Of the work basket, which
she now placed on the shelf out Of the
reach Of her misohievous boy. Then

RECREATION. Recreation is intend
ed 60 the mind as whetting is to the
soythe; to sharpen the edge Of it, which
otherwise would grow dull and blunt
He, therefore, that spends his whole
time in recreation is ever whetting, new
or mowiugi his grass may grow and his
steed starve. As, contrarily, he that all
ways tolls and nevor recreates, is ever
moving, never whetting; laboring much
to little purpose; as good no scythe as
no edge, Then only doth the work 60

Humility

It is out of a broken heart that all
truly holy affections do fow Christian
affections are like Mary's precious oint-
ment that she poured on Christs head,
that filled the house with a sweet odor.
That was poured out Of an alabaster
box; so gracious affections flow out of a
broken heart. Gracious affections are
also like those of Mary Magdalenc, who
also poured precious ointment on
Christ, out Of broken alabaster box,
and anointed Herewith the feet of
Christ, after she had washed them with
her tears, and wiped them with the hair
of her head. All gracious affections,
that are a sweet odor to Christ, and that
fll the soul of a Christian with an heav-
emily sweetness and fragrancy, are brok-
hearted loves The desires of the
saints, however earnest, are humble de-
sires; their hope is humble and their
joy, even while it is unspeakable and
full of glory, is an humble broken
hearted joy, and leaves the Christian
more poor in spirit, and more like a
little child, and more disposed to uni
versal lowliness Of behavior Edwards
on the Affections.

Picture OF AN OLD MAID.-she
has not married. Under Heaven, her
home, her life, her lot, are all of her
own making. Bitter or sweet they may
have been-it is not ours to meddle
with them, but we can and do see their
results Wide or narrow as her circle
of influence appears, she has exercised
her power to the Uttormost, and for
good. Published or unpublished, this
woman's life is a goodly chronicle, the
title-page Of which you may read in
your quiet oOuntenance; her manner,
settled, cheerful and at ease; her unfail-
ing interest in all things and all people.
You will rarely find she thinks much
about herself she has never had time
for it. And this her life-chrouicle,
which, out ofits very fullness, has taught
her that the more one does the more
one finds to do--she will never flourish
in your face, or in the face of Heaven,
as something uneommonly virtuous and
extraordinary. She knows that, after
all, she has simply done what it was her
duty to do.
But--and when her place is vacant on
earth, this will be said of her assuredly,
both here and Otherwhere-she hath
done l0hat she could.
