That were filled by those we love-

The eyes we loved the most are folded;
Dearest tones are husled to rest
Truest hearts are lying silent
In full many death-chilled breast.
Hands that elasped our own SO often,
With such deep and tender love,
Now are waking softest music '
From the golden harps above.
Peace is there, and JOY eternal!
Bliss, beyond all human thought;

Our Redeemers blood has bought.
Oh then let us press still onward

Walking onward like glad children,
Leaning on our Fathers breast
Needless of life's heavy trials, . .
So we reach the "better land"

CAUGHT IN HIS Own TRAP.--0nee two
ministers, of the Gospel were conversing
on extemporanoous preaching.
! "Well," said the old Divine, waxing
warm, lyon are running yourself by wri-
ting your sermons and reading them Off
Your congregation cannot become inter-
csted in your preaching; andif you were
called upon to preach unexpectly, unless
you could get hold Of an old sermon, you
would be completely confounded."
The young Divine used all his elequence
but in vain, to convince the old gentleman
that the written sermon expressed his
thoughts and feelings, and if called upon.
he could preach extemporaneously.
AS we are Of the same faith, said the
young Minister, suppose you try me next
Sabbath morning. On ascending the pull
pit you eau hand me text from any part
Of the Bible, and will convince you that
| can preach without having looked at
the text before stood up. Likewise,
must be allowed the same privilege with
you, and sec who will make the best of IT,"
The idea seemed to delight the old gen.
tleman, and it was Immediately agreed up
on
The following Sabbath, on mounting
the pulpit, his senior brother handed him
a slip of paper, on which was written:
And the ass opened his mouth and spake;'
from which he preached glorious ser.
mon, claiming the attention of his delight
ed hearers, and charming his old friend
with his eloquence.
In the afternoon, the young brother,
who was sitting below the pulpit, handed
his slip. After rising and opening the
Bible, the old man looked sadly around:
Am | not thine asp Pausing few
minutes, he ran his fingers through his
hair, Strengthened his collar, blew his nose
ike the last trumpet, and read aloud:

PRINTING PRESSES, PULpITs AND PETIT
coATs.-There are three great levers that
govern the world. Without them the bot
tom would fall out, and society would be-
come a chaos again. The press makes peo'
pie patriotic, the pulpit religious, but wo'
men sway all things, There wouldbe no go
ing to church ifthere were no girls there
neither would the beuny going to war were
the soldiers to meet with no applause but
from the masculnes. Without the sun
shine shed by women, the rose of affection
would never grow, nor the flowers of elo
quence germinate. In short, she is The
engine Of life, the great motive power o
love, valor, aud civilization. In proof Q
this, truth in all history speaks trumpet
tongued.

A NOBLE snSrMrsr. Some true heart

A NOBLE SENTIMENT Some true heart
has given expression to IT'S generous ma
ture in the following beautiful sentiment;
Never deserta friend when the enemies
are around him--when sickness falls on the
heart,- when the world is dark and cheer.
less is the time to try true friend. They
who turn from the scene Of distress bctray
their hypocrisy, and prove that interest
moves them. If you have a friend who
loves you and studies your interest and
happiness, be sure to sustain him, Let
him feel his that former Kindness is ap-
preciated, and that his love is snot thrown
away. Real fidelity may be rare, but it
exists in the heart Who has not seen
and felt its power2 They deny its worth
who neverloyed friend or labored to make
friend happy.
