boosting them over obstacles which they
ought to be able to surmount alone. No

BEAUTIFUL IDEA--In the mountains
of Tyrol it is the custom of the women
and children to come out when it is bed.
time, and sing their national songs until
they hear their husbands, fathers answer
them from the hills on their return home.
On the shores of the Adriatic such a
custom prevails. There the wives of the
fishermen come down about sun set and
sing melody. After singing the first
stanza, they listen for an answering mel
ody from off the water, and continue to
sing and listen till the well known voice
comes borne on the water, telling that
the loved one is almost home.
So to the Christian when he draws
near the close of his earthly day, and the
cares and tolls of life are almost over,
comes from the shores of the better land
echoes of its blessed music and better
than all else, the sweet voice of the So
viour comes in the still hour of the
night, and in the calm that preeedes the
last struggle, over the waters of the riv
er, and assures the believer that there a.
waits him, beyond its flood. his kindred
of the household of faith, his elder
brethren and his Heavenly Father.

Over the door was inscribed. in splendid

The people were not long in ascertain

new establishment. and it is not to be
wondered that it was crowded and the
other deserted. The other held out some
weeks, suspecting this free shaving--for

soon be charged as usual; but when al
the end of six weeks, he found Billy

spend in the bargain, he came to the con-
clusion that he must have drawn prize

for fun, SO he closed his shop in despair
and left the place.
Meantime Billy Harrington kept or
busy as bee, and one fine morning bis
employer came in, and, without saying q
word, sat down and was shaved. On
rising from the chair, he asked to see the
score for the six months past. The bar.
Der exhibited it, and after caleful ex-
animation, the old man said:

MATERNAL AFFECTION.


No one feels the death of a child, as a
mother feels it. The father cannot real

his home and a heaviness in his heart
There is chain of associations that al
set times come around with its broken
link; there are memories of endearment, a
keen sense of loss, a weeping over crushed
hopes. and a pain of wounded affection

hands that have so often taken hers in

on its sinless breast, and surrender then
to the cold clasp of DEATH The feet,
