Hard Work

All classes of men complain of hard
work. The carpenter thinks that it
is too bad that he is obliged to work
so hard for living, while his neigh
Dor, the physician, can ride in his car
riage to attend patients, or leizurely
deal out medicines in his Office.
The physician thinks it too hard
work to be in readiness to obey calls,
at all hours of the day and night to
travel in cold and heat, through mud
and storms, and not be allowed one
hour in the twenty-four which he can
positively call his own. He enyies his
friend, the carpenter, who, when the
days work is done, can return to his
family and rest in peace.
The blacksmith feels that hard lot
in life has fallen to him, as he strikes
the anvil through the long day, while
on the opposite side of the street, his
neighbour, the lawyer, seems to be cal
led to the performance of no harder
work than writing at his table, or the
reading of his law books. But the
lawyer as his glance falls on the black
smith, thinks of the years spent in stu
dy to fit him for his profession, of 9TH
err wears of strenuous mental exertion
and canstant application to gain a
reputation, of the still incessant toll
necessary to sustain it-of his frequent
unavoidable contacts with most hard
ened williams, Of the revolving relations
Of crime, be is compelled to hear of
the hundreds of suffering, Innocent vic
tins, who plead with him to succor
i them from powerful oppressors, but
whom he cannot aid. With sigh he
turns away from the whisthng, sing
ing, jolly faced and brawny- armed
blacksmith, and feels it harder work
to hammer and weld the iron and
keep blowing the bellows Of the
law in such manner as shall always
keep the fires Of his reputation burn
ing before the world.
So it is in the various branches of
trade, and in all its professions. Each
is apt to think his neighbours business
light work compared to the duties in
cumbent on him to perform. But it
is not so. The merchant and the me-
chanic, the clergyman and the farmer,
have all work to do, either mental OF
physical, ofequal Importance to the
general body polite, and requiring

up into Marks face.
:" 1t is plain as A, B, G, that the
| young minister likes your Mary, and
you won't let him have her. And
now, in a day or two, he goes away
for three or four weeks, and if he can't
have the one he wants, here, why he'll
] have to try to find wife somewhere
else, for of course a person without a
wife, isn't worth much to country
parish, and that you know, as well as
do, Mark Then, as for Mary, if he
does do so, it will break her heart,
that's all. .
Umph u said Mark, rising and
walking to the window. What's to
be done ?"
We'll, I don't really know, unless
you have the Sewing Circle at the
Old Red next week that might bring
matters right"
The sewing circle at the Old Red |
The thought of it made Mark start,
and yet by the nervous twitching Of
his mouth, Sally concluded he was try
ing to consent to it.
At last he said, We'll, tell the child
she may have it, if she wants to-" and
then he went out Of the house with
out speaking word leaving Aunt
Sally with her mind full of business,
and her hears full Of joy.
And SO the sewing circle met at the
" Old Red - And of course the min
lister stopped to talk with the Squire
after the rest of the folks had gone
And Of course, Mary sat down by her
fathers side to hear what he had to
say.
There was pause at last in the
conversation, and then the minister,
reaching his hand across the table,
laid it on the old mans arm, saying,
Squire you have got one thing
that / want"
Name it !" said the Squire, cIench-
ing the table with his hands, and com
pressing his hands as though he fell
the crisis had come.
Not your broad acres, sir, bat
your daughter !"
"She is yours !" said Mark, in a
clear, decided tone, then suddenly ris-
ing, he placed the minister's and Ma
ry's hands together. He tried in vain
for moment to speak at last, laying
his own hand on the young minister's
shoulder, and looking upon Mary, he
said,
He's got just what he asked for !
But I'll treat you both alike. If you
want anything, ask. With tears gEs-
tening in her eyes, Mary threw her
arms around the old mans neck, and
said,
Yes, father there is one thing
Promise never to say Pshaw p to me
any more"

The Child's Question.

TRAvEL-wEARY, thoughtful man
walked through the principal street
OF large city. AS he went on, he
seemed apparently absorbed in his
own meditations, his eye accidentally,
encountered a face looking down from
the window of handsome house He
paused an instant, looking eagerly at
the window; and in another moment
his hand was on the bell-handle. He
was ushered into the room where sat
the lady of the house.
You win pardon my intrusion, . he
said, but | could not pass by after
seeing you accidentally at the window.
have never forgotten you nor your
little girl, who FIVE years ago, in a
stage-coach, put to me the artless
question, Does you love God p Do
you remember ?"
II think I do said the lady, smi-
lingly, from the circumstance that
you seemed so much startled and con-
fused but my dear child asked almost
every person with whom we met, that
or similar questions"
Her innocent face is engrayen on
my heart" said the young man with
much emotion. Never since that
day have I been tempted to do any
thing which my concience would not
sanction, but the earnest, serious, gaze
with which she regarded me before
she asked that question, has come to
my mind. Would she remember me,
do you think ? Can l not see her,
MADAME"
Strange, that in his eagerness, he
did not notice the culver of that mo-
theirs lips, the sudden placing Of be-
hand against her heart
Suddenly, as he ceased spes idag
there came over him startling con
ciousness.
Madam-is-the child"
She is in heaven" came in low
and broken accents from the trembling
lips
The young man sank back on seat,
agitated, dumb, sorrowful that he had
so rudely torn open the still bleeding
wound in that womanly heart.
These are sad tidings," he said,
after long pause, and his voice was
troubled. "Dear little angel she is
then speaking to me from the grave.
The mother rose and beckoned him
to follow her. Into little hallowed
chamber she went, where, in a case,
were the books the child loved, her
beautiful rewards, her childish toys.
There, said the mother, now quite
broken down, and sobbing as she spoke,
there is all that I have on earth of
my precious one."
No, madam that is not all that
is left; | am here, monument of
Gods mercy, made so through her
holy influence Before she asked me
that question on that eventful day, my
mind was chaos of donbt. of bewiIder-
ing and conflicting errors. Ihad dar-

WRITTEN ON THE DEATH OF ELURAH-
'' The Lord hath .giVeu and the Lord hath
taken array"
How oft we wonder why it was
Our little one must go;
Was she too fair, too bright flower
Longer to dwell below?
Was she too tender to endure
Earth's weary pilgrimage?
Was she too spotless, to be stained,
By trouble, sin, and age
Was she too innocent and mild,
For this worlds wicked ways?
Or why was it her time mnst be
So brief so few her days?
1t seemed the frost had nipped the bud ;
She was given to depart,
Fer two short years had rolled away,
Her spirit left the heart
How tenderly we nurtured her,
And watched her budding charmes;
But she's better off, she's happier there,
In her heavenly father arms.
He saw, and knew that it was best
Te take her back again,
So she was quickly snatched away
From sorrow, sin and pain.
Although we feel that it was right,
And know its for the best,
Yet oh we cgnnot help but weep
Z For our little one at rest.
In that blessed redeemer's love,
May we too have share,
Then we'll not wish her back again.
But hope to meet her there.

Foolish Thoughts.

We are apt to believe in Providence
so long as we have our own way, but
If things go away, then we think
there is God, he is in hears
not on earth. The crickes, IS tas g
spring, builds his little house Ia the
meadow, and chirps for joy, because
all is going so well with him. But
when he fears the sound of the pillow
few throws of, and the thunder Of
the oxen's tread, then the skies begin
to look dark, and his heart fails him.
The pillow comes crushing along, and
turns his dwelling bottom side up. and
as he is rolling over and over with a
home, his heart says: 20, the foua- -
dations Of the earth are destroyed,
and everything is going to ruin ~
But the husbandman, who walks be-
hind his pillow, singing and whistling
as he goes, does he think the founda-
tions of the earth are breaking up?
Why, he does not know there was any
house or cricket there. He thinks of 80
the harvest that is to follow the track
of the pillow and she. cricket, too, il
she win but wait, win find thousand
blades Of grass where there was but
one before. We are all like the cricksE
ct; if anything happens to overthrow
our plans, we think all is gone to ruin.e

A Sunday or two since, at Grace
Church, says the Home Journal, a
young gentleman put his hat under
the seat, and shortly after two prepos-

ladies left the church before him, and
the gentleman stopped in search Of
his hat and to his surprise. found it
gone. He called the Sexton and APP

Mr.. Brown suggested that it might
