Nearer Heaven.

The weary laborer, counting the hours!
till the sun goes down, rejoices at each sound.
Of the bell that warns him that he can soon
turn to his home. The little child, hurry
ing from play or school TO the kindly well
come Of mothers arms, is glad when the
we'll known roof is in sight; and he is al,
most there. The home-sick stranger enters
joyfuIy the vessel whose swift wings shall
wait him over the waters to the land he
loves. Even go the Christian pilgrim gazes
thro' the mist that enshrouds his pathway
for the first glimpse of the everlasting hills
which are crowned with the city of his God.
Heartsck and dcsponding, faiuting and
weak, there is no eurer word of hope that
can cheer his dropping faith and arouse his
sleeping zeal, than the melody of "Nearer
Heaven" If we are tolers in the vine.
yard at all, every glowing sunset is the to-
ken that one day less is left to journey over.
Every new morning is another mile stone,
silently telling US that we are approaching
the end of the road. Every hour of labor
is an earnest Of self ending rest. The path
We travel May bs tangled and wild it may
lead up rough and rugged mountain sides.
and into dangerous ravines; storms may
break over our heads, and the binding hail
and dripping rain render 1t almost hopeless ;
yet in sunshine and gloom we are ever go
ing onward ; at the end of the way is the
''house beautiful" where the master has
gone to prepare place for US. .....r
We know not what lies before US ere we
reach our home. Joys may be lying in the
way, waiting to clasp US in their fragrant
arms. Fairer hopes may spring up like
flowers where we tread. Happy hearts may
be around US, and the gentle ministries Of
the fre.side make earth an Eden. Or dark
ness may be on the wing, and the creeping
shadows already looking over the shoulders
of the sunshine. Yet in the same sweet
spirit OF submission and gratitude let Us take
whatever our Father sends.-BGnnsr.

Energy.

1t is astonishing how much may be &C.
complshed in self culture by the energetic
and the persevering who are careful to avail
themselves of opportunities, and use up the
fragments Of spare time which the idle per.
nit 10 run to waste. Thus Ferguson learn
ed astronomy from the heavens while wrap
ped in sheepskin on the highland hills
Thus Stone learned mathematics while
working as a jourEeyman gardener thus
Drew studied the highest philosophy in the
intervals of cobbling shoes thus Miller
taught himself geology while working as q
day.laborer in quarry. By bringing their
mind to bear upon knowledge in its various
aspects. and carefully using up the very odds
and ends Of their time, men such as these, in
the very humblest circumstances, reached
the highest culture, and acquired honorable
distinction among their fellow men. 1t was
one ofthe characteristic expressions OF Chat
terton, that God had sent his creatures into
the world with arms long enough to reacl
anything II they chose to be at the trouble

The Two Roads.

1t was New Years night. An aged man
was standing st q window. He mournfulIy
raised his eyes towards the deep blue sky,
whore the stars were floating like white lii.
les on the surface of calm clear lake.
Then he cast them on the earth, where few
more helpless beings than himself were
moving towards their Inevitable gaol-ths
tomb. Already he had passed sixty of the
stages which lead to it, and he had brought
from hs journey nothing bu, errors and re-
morse. His health was destroyed, his mind
unfurDished, his heart sorrow.u and his old
age devoid of comfort.
The days of his youth rose up In vieion
before him, and he recalled the solemn mo.
ment when his father had placed him at the
entrance oftwo roads, one leading to peace.
ful, sunny land, covered with fertile har-
vest, and resounding with soft, sweet songs;
| while the other conducted the wanderer into
a deep, dark cave, whence there was no is.
sue, where poison flowed instead of water,
and where serpents Kissed and crawled.
He looked towards the sky, and cried out
in anguish-"O, youth, return o, my fa-
ther, place me once more at the cross.way
of life, that may choose the better road !'
But the days of his youth had passed away.
and his parents were with the departed. He
saw wandering lights float over dark marsh
es and then disappear. "Such," he said,
"were the days Of my wasted life !" He
saw star shoot from heaven, and vanish in
darkness uthwart the churcbyard. "Behold
an emblem of myself !" he exclaimed and
the sharp arrows of an unavaling remorse
struck him to the heart.
Then he remembered his early compan.
ions, who had entered life with him, but who,
having trod the paths of virtue and industry,
were now happy and honored on this New
Year's night. The clock in the high church
tower struck, and the sound, falling on his
ear, recalled the many tokens of the love of
his parents for him, their erring son the,
lessons they had taught him ; the prayers
they had offered up in his behalf. Over.
whelmed with shame and grief he dared no
longer look towards the heaven where they
dweh. His darkened eyes dropped tears.
and with one Departing effort, he cried
aloud, "Comc back, my early days! Come
back"
And his youth did return for all this had
been but dream, visiting his slumbers ON
New Years night. He was still young ;
his errors were only dream. He thanked
God fervently that time was still his own ;
that he had not entered the deep, dark cav.
ern, but that he was free to tread the road
leading to the peaceful land where sunny
harvests wave.
Ye who still linger on the threshold OF
life, doubling which path to choose, remem.
ber that when years shall be passed, and
your feet shall stumble on the dark noun
tain, you will cry bitterly, but cry In vain,
10, youth, return %, give me back my
early days Jean Paul Richter.
