upon her back the richest kind of duds.

SILENT lNFLUENGE.

BY y. +. CARTER.
In silence sunbcamS warm to life
The world with all its fruits and flowers;
Clouds form above these scenes of strife,
And rain desccnds in gracious showers;
In silence trlcgraphic wires
Flash Oiir unwrlttcn thoughts afar;
The needle ON the ocean fires
With hope the night withouta IL star!
Wclive, and with silent power,
Mould other lives to love or hate;
To form that charm the passing hour,
Dr for the day of burning wait!
We may not see as others see:
We may not feel aS others feel;
Yet still our life, so full and free,
Brings the eternal woe or veal!
The sunshine of the smiling face:
The darkness of II constant trOwn;
Our zeal to run the Heavenly race;
Our strife for houor and IeuoWn;
Our love to poor and needy shown,
The cold neglect, or open scorn;
These WELD AN influence all their own,
Whence endless life or death is born!
How careful, then, to make his life,
In all its might of silent power,
a messenger of peace III strife,
A light III every evil hour
Oblcssed savior, light of men,
Make plain the path Thy grace has given
Lead uS therein, and ever then
Our busy life shall woo TO heaven.

How to Make Glossy Shirt BO-
SONS.

We find the following for producing the
gloss on shirt bosoms, concerning which we
have been questioned by lady correspon-
dent:
Take two ouccs of gum arabic powder,
put it into pitcher and pour on it pint or
more boiling water according to the degree
of strenth you desirc-and then, after hay
ing covered it, let it stand all night-in the
morning pour it carefully from the dregs
into clean bottle cork it up and keep for
use A tablespoonful of the gum water
stirred in pint of starch made in the usual
manner, will give to lawn, either white or
printed, look of newness, when nothing
else can restore them after they have been
washed.

Father and Son.

"My son, take that jug and fetch me
some beer"
"Give me some money, then, father"
"My son, to get beer with money--any,
body can do that, but to get beer without
money-that' 5 a trick. So the boy took
the jug and out he goes. Soon he returns
and places the jug before his father.
Drink, said the son.
Glow can drink said the father
"when there is no beer in the jug"

"JESlS WEPT.o
ny J. W. tUREy.

Beside the grave where Lazarus slept
The savior vcilcd his faco and wcpt
His human heart oerchargCd with grief,
In human tears found sad relief
oh! sight like that, nor heaven nor earth
Had witnessed since CrCutiOns's birth;
Nor will in all the future years,
Again behold God In tears!
And "Jesus wept!' no words express
SO much of holy tenderness!
The Author of RrdemptiOn's Plan
Here bowed his head and wcpt for man!
The wandring Jews looked ON with awe,
Astonished Mt the GREET they saw;
"Sce how he loved him." whisper they,
AS Jesus Views the pulsclcss clay.
q, trembling sinner, filled with fear,
Let these sweet words thy courage cheer;
And though in sin ye long have slept,
Remember still that "Jcsus wcpt."
For us, US well as Lazarus dead,
ne bowed, in grief, His mighty head:
For sinners, such us you and me,
Behold Him in Gcthscmanc!
And later still, on Calvary's mount,
We see Him opc the healing Iount
To cleans from sin the guilty rcc
For whom, in tears, lie Ncilcd HIS face.
"Bchold, He loved us!" this is why
The Savior come on earth to die!
And this is why that Jesus wcpt
Beside the grave where Lazarus slept.
And we for whom He met his doom,
And lit our pathway through the tomb,
Shall we, than needless Jew more vile,
Forget Ills love and Scorn His smile?
Shall we fogct the crimson tide
That flowed from out his wounded side?
Or yet hear not the anguiSh'd cry
That rends his soul "EiOi! EiOir'
All, no! so base n deed as this
Would rob "a God of heavenly bliss,
Would from the earth all JOY eXpcl,
And send an angel down to hell!
Nay, rather far on bendcd knee,
With cOntritc heart and Suppliant plea,
Well bless His mercy, crave His love,
Aud hope meet Him up Above!
