May.-As we look out upon the
beauty of this Sabbath afternoon, smiling
in the warmth of spring-time sun, we
would gladly pay tribute to The genial
May, and are sad that We cannot moro
justly do it.
Hail, bounteous May, tlrat dost inspire
Nirth, youth, and warm desire;
Woods and groves are ofthy dressing.
Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing"
May is Che season oflife and beauty
season of singing birds and budding
flowers, Tt is the month in which Ma
ture comes to her resurrection, marshal
ing all her forces to their work silent and
unseen, yet putting forth their miracles
0. beauty. How the sunlight lies loving
Y upon bill and valley, wooing forth the
flowers that blush with beauty at its touch.
How the great oaks cover their broad,
bare arms with donser foliage, darkon-
ing the shadows that lie beneath. What
numberless fingers are at work unfolding
the myriad flowers that they may feel
the thrill of richer life. The flowers,
sown By angel wings, how Nature nurses
them. Wattered BY gentle showers, fed
by the sunbeams, and Graded bv the lull.
ing night.
It IS good to stray about IN field and
wood on such 4 day as this. Delight
fnl thoughts coma upon US Ike gentle
showers, and we can feel tho heart throb-
bing for the beautiful and good. At such
times, we come nearer Heaven, and can
learn from Ged's own teachings. We
may read a sermon from q shell, and a
PRAYER from the leaf Of lilly. Upon
such days, if ever, we must advance upon
our journey toward a better life. 1t is
sad to think there are those who can Gaze
upon the brightness and glory Of such
day rs this, and discern not tho marvel
GUS forms Of beauty that surround them.

Eears.--The other day, we saw a
mother weep over letter telling of the
of n son-one in whose life hcr
very being was inwrought and in whose
welfare she felt deeper interest than in
her own existence. Il was, 10 us, pleas
urc, to see those great drops gather in
her eyes and trickIe down her timc-traced
checks. Drops that told a deeper Joy
than words could utter. Drops full
freighted with tho gIadnezs Of a Mothers
heart.
There IS solemn sacrednoss in tears.
They tell what no tongue can utter
They speak what words leave unspoken.
Their language is warm with the throb-
bings Of oVr true hoart-lifo. They dis.
close The beauties Of cur inner selves
They are the toleus Of resistlcss Grief,
and the messengers Of unuttorablo 10Y, or
Of unspeakable love. We love to see tears
Of affection, yelling up from the stirred
fountains Of a loving heart. And tears
Of sorrow, painful they may be, yet arc
they holy. We love to sec the strong
man weep in the maturity of his man-
hood, his tears give no evidence of weak
ness, but Of power. Life would be rob
bed Of half its blessednoss were there mono
to weep over our misfortunes or our way
wardness, and death is not half so fear
full when we know that the flowers BIOS
soming upon our graves will be baptized
in affections soothing tears.
