The Turn Of Life.
name

Between the years of 40 and 60 man
who has properly regulated himself may be
considered in the prime of life. His ma
tured strength Of constitution renders him
almost impervious to the attacks of disease,
and experience has given soundness to his
Judgment. His mind is resolute, firm
and equal; all his functions are in the
highest order; he assumes mastery over
business; builds up competence ON the
foundation he has formed in early man.
hood, passes through period of life atten-
ded by many Qualifications. Having gone q
year or two past sixty he arrives at a stand
still. But athwart this is viaduct, cal
led THE Turn of Life" which if crossed
in safety, leads to the valley of cold age"
round which the river winds and then be-
yond without boat or causeway to effect
its passage. The bridge is, however, con-
structed of fragile materials, and it de-
pends upon how it is trodden, whether it
bend Or break. Gout and apoplexy are also
in the vicinity to waylay the traveller, and
thrust him from the pass; but let him
grid up his loins and provide himself with
q filter staff and he may trustsin safety,
with perfect composure. To quiet me-
taphor, "The Turn Of Life" is a turn
either into prolonged walk, or into the
grave. The system and powers having
reached their utmost expansion, now be-
gin to either close like flowers at sunset
or break down at once. One injudicious
stimulant, single fatal excitement, may
force it beyond its strength, whilst a care
full supply Of props, and the withdywal
Of all that tends to force a plant, will sus-
tain it in beauty and vigor until night
has entirely set in.- The Science Of LIFE,

Mount Carmel.

For quiet, tranquil beauty, "the excel
lence of Carmel' is very charming, and
among the many changes in the sacred
sites, it is pleasant to find this mountain
still worthy of its name-a full orchard, a
fruitful field is the meaning of the word.
Having crossed the town, we were soon
upon the mountain, winding up its steep
sides among thick, low woods of prickly
oak, laurustinus, and other shrubs, with
quantities of honeysuckles, and the ground
variegated with all the hues of the rain
bow from the innumerable varieties of
wild flowers which grew everywhere. We
still looked back over the plain and the
blue sea, until, reaching the brow of the
mountain, we lost it on this side to find it
again on the other to the south, beyond
the ranges of Judean hills. Now came
about twelve miles of undulating ground,
like park land at home, bright, grassy,
fowery lawns, studded with oaks of va
rious kinds, plane, terebinth and caroub,
with thick brushwood of lovely storax,
and sometimes wild olive grove. Then
as we neared the southeastern end of this
long ridge, the plain of Esdraeldon open
ed out before us, with Tabor and Gilboa,
and little Hermon, and the Bashan noun
tains beyond Jordan, while, behind the
hills to the north, beautiful Hcrmon ap-
peared, looking SO close to Tabor as to re-
alize one of the Psalmist's expressions,
"Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in Thy
name"

WHAT ARE JUST WARs.-It ought
never to be overlooked by conscientious,
moral and Christian people, that wars, to
be just, ought to be necessary; and to be
necessary, can be waged only in self de-
fence. And again, that, as without jus
tice there can be no glory, SO no glory can
be acquired by victors in wars which are
waged unjustly,S unnecessarily, or often
sively. Before glory is therefore ascribed
to combatants, it is needful to examine
seriously the previous questions whether
their cause was just, and whether the war
in which they were engaged might not
have been avoided.--E'rchaage.

Startling Discovery.

During the sitting Of Court in Con-
necticut, not long ago, on very cold
evening, crowd of lawyers had collected
around the open fire that blazed cheerful
ly on the hearth in the bar-room, when a
traveller entered benumbed with cold; but
no one moved to give him room to warm
his shins, SO he leaned against the wall in
the back part of the room.
Presently smart young limb of the
law addressed him, and the following dia-
logue took place:
"You look like traveller"
"Wall, l suppose I am I come all the
way from Wisconsin afoot at anyrate."
"From Wisconsin What distance

"Wall, done it anyhow"
"Did you ever pass through hell in any

Then I rekollected that there had been q

"Once upon time there was great

WHAT KINDNESS WILL DO.

BY NJ. A. H.
Twill make the heart love
Where no love is returned,
Twill reclaim q lone heart,
Where passion has burned.
1t will soothe and relieve,
Twill bid sorrow depart;
1t will calm the bereaved-
A kind gentle heart.
1t will ruin and break,
Twill cause passion to start,
1t will smother the love
From parents apart;
1t will cause US to follow
The path unto death
The poison we swallow,
The ruin of health.
They are easily given;
So much to be loved,
Are words of kindness
From Heaven above;
A friendship, solace,
No other beside
Can give such a pleasure,
And sorrow deride.
But kindness as well
May have its deceits,
All words are not kind ones,
Though smiles may them greet.
The tempter oft turks,
With his wiles to destroy
The heart that by kindness
He thus may decoy. .
Kind words are soothing,
But oh gentle heart,
Judge well of their purport;
They are means in disguise
To lure poor victim,
Thus put sand in their eyes,
To lead them away from
Their Maker and God.

The Federal Tax Bill-Swarm of New

One of the most Objectionable features in the
proposed new tax bill is the provision for the ap
pontment of collectors To have the country
covered with these men the frogs covered
Egypt, will be most objectionable burden. The
expenses will be enormous, and rs durable the
necessity for taxation. If the whole duty of col
lection was left entirely with the States, the as
sessments would be paid more cheerfuliy, the ex
action seem less onorous, an immense expense
saved, and horde of unpopular Office holders
avoided. We hope this subject will be carefully
considered when the bill comes under discussion,
and that some way will be devised to save US from
the sight of the ugly countenances of a swarm of
unnecessary tax gatherers.-BOsto Post.
