IN Gods own temple, Ihronged with worshipers,
All still and bowed in heart, stood.
With trembling accents. Mercy's messenger
Had told US Of that love that never dies.
OF Jesus and the blood that maketh pure,
OF hafnan destiny for veal or woe,
OF earthly sufferings and heavens gain;
And now was standing, eye intent and grave
all meekly lost and listening. That song'
How rich! how full! 1t was the gushing stream
Of sacred fire; sweet incense rising up
tn the All.good; the spirit winging out
ro meet its God and meeting HIM. The tear
Rushed from its hiding place, and pleasure, pure
A, that through seraph bOsoms stealing. stepped
To every nook and corner of the soul,
And angels fingered near to catch the strain
And see the heayen-like thrills of earthborn souls
Oh. sacred song! handmaid Of peace and love,
True. thou art native Of the better land
Thou hast thy dwelling by the throne Of love
Eternal and dos: visit man awhile,
To turn his downward ihoug ht to things on high,
And Ger his spirit throw the garb of grace.
All! when these eyes shall dim, and tins lone hea
Shall palpiiate it, weary last, wish
Thy accents, holy song. to lnger at
nv couch. And when rlse free from this e1rth
To greet my Lord and mingle with the good
In scenes of beauty ever gay, wish
To meet thee. Music. and TO see thy smile.
And when my Jesus lowers TO my head
The crowL uf life. and 1t eacircles first
NV brow. wish thy tones from seraph lips
To minsle with the breeze Of Paradise.

him if he was in trouble, but he made no reply.
When his turn came he sat down in the chair,
and the barber lathered his face, and was strap.

WHEN TO PRUNE APPLE TREEs-A farmer
in the Chester County Times says:

Many farmers have. think, wrong idea
as to the time of pruning their apple trees, say
ing 1t is of little consequence when the tree is
pruned If it only needs pruning. This, am
ready TO say, is u sad mistake; for all seasons
when the sap is down it is entirely wrong -
Thr first or second week in June is the only tit
srason for pruning the apple tree. Then the
sap is 10 full flow, and the wound made by cut
ting off bough begins to heal and grow over
mediately." We agree in this view. and
the system can be applied to pears as well as
apples We pursue it ia relation to pears tc
some extent annually; and we are cognisan'
of the results upon the apple, in several in
stances, and know it to have been in every case
perfect success.-Ger. Tel.
