CONSTANT EMPLoYNENr.-Th man who
is obliged to be constantly employed to
earn the necessaries of life and support his
family, knows not the unhappiness he prays
for when he desires wealth and idleness.
To be constantly busy is to be always
happy. Persons who have suddenly ac
quired wealth, broken up their active pur-
suits, and began to live at their ease, waste
away, and die in very short time.
Thousands would have been blessings to
the world, and added to the common stock
of happiness, if they had been content to
remain in humble sphere, and earned
every mouthful of food that nourisbed their
bodies. Persons who are always busy,
and go cheerfully to their daily tasks, are
the least disturbed by the fluctuations of
business, and at night sleep with perfect
composure.

A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.

Some months ago, an amiable, beautiful,
and accomplished lady, the mother of three
bright and interesting children, and the
wife of a highly esteemed citizen, died
rather suddenly, and under peculiar and
trying circumstances Her death was uni
versally lamented, and her afflicted family
had the deepest sympathies of the whole
community. Among her children was a
little angelic girl, about five years old
A lovely being, scarcely formed or moulded,
A rose with all its sweetest leaves yet folded.
The child often seemed to be thinking
of her absent mother, and frequently spoke
of her, but she had not been more thought
full or melancholy than many other child
rem under similar circumstances. On a
pleasant, balmy evening, just after the sun
had set, the child, with several other men,
bers of the family, including the father.
were in the portico of the house, enjoying
the pleasant atmosphere, when the child
was observed to be steadily gazing up
wards, with her eyes riveted on some OBJ
iect which seemed to absorb her soul. She
continued in this posture for several mo-
ments, when she clanped her hands glee-
fully, jumped upon the porch bench in an
ecstacy of delight, and cried out:
"Oh papa, papa there's my mother |
there's my mother Oh my dear, beau
tiful mother, do come home and live with
us again !"
The father, with melting heart, spoke
gently to the child, and attempted to with.
draw her attention, telling her that she was
mistaken-her mother was not there. But
the child continued to clap her hands joy
fully for some minutes, and declared it was
her mother-she saw her "there there
there l"-pointing with her tiny finger
Il see her eyes"
All present were struck with amazement
and awe, and none doubted that the spirit
ual little girl had really communed with
her mother. - Peni,1Sular Ne,cS.

FAITH IN THE NORTH STAR.
BY ALICE CAREY.


When was a child my father one night
gave rest to fugitive from, slavery. For
his greater security he preferred to remain
in the barn concealed among the hay. The
poor fellow was an object of absorbing in
terest to us children. shall never forget
his fantastic dress, and the mixture of the
grotesque and pitiable in his manner. The
falling of leaf startled him, and he trem-
bled to accept the least kind office lest it
was meant to betray, for he fancied, as
we'll he might, poor creature, that every
mans hand was against him.
He had come a long way, and his feet
were sore, and his coarse and scanty cloth
ing was torn by the briers among which
he had concealed himself during the days,
for his fears had not permitted him to trav-
Ell except of nights. He had sweetheart
somewhere, who had escaped year before
him. Where she was he did not know,
but his faith in their ultimate meeting
knew no shadow of doubt "She sot her
face right toward the north STAR" said he,
"and that's the way Is gwine till | finds
her."
On stormy nights he had, for the most
part, laid by, he said, because he could not
see that star, and it was useless to go for
ward without some guide. ''It body on
ly has de north STAR" said he, she's safe;
but he amt widout, kase be hain't got no
light in himself to 60 by"
Many time when l have seen men and
women zig-zaging through the world, with
out any guiding light, have thought OF
that poor fugitive and his north star, and
wished there was more of his childlike faith
and reliance in the world.
Many and many year has passed since
he went into the storm and darkness. How
and where his journey ended never knew
but do know that such faith and trust as
his cannot always be baffied, and that, con.
fiding alone in God, he will be gathered
up into light so broad and bright that nc
shadow can find access to him, and no feal
come to mock him.
We are taught to trust in ourselves, and
it is very noble and beautiful so to trust
but higher, and lower, and broader than
our selfreliance must be our faith in Him
through whom only that reliance can be
assured. In the long run, no man car
help himself who does not say "God help
me-" and no man lives life worth hav.
ing who does not say in his soul, II know
that my Redeemer liveth." No matter
what gifts or riches, of genius or of beauty
a man possesses, if he have no faith in light
outside of himself, he is poor indeed
walking in vain show, and disquieted in
vain"
