ONE NIAGARA ENouGH.-It is the budding
spring which flows gently, the little rivulet
which runs along day and night by the farm
house that is useful, rather than the swollen
food or warning cataract. Niagara excites
our wonder, and we stand amazed at the pow
er and greatness of God there as he "pours it
from the hollow of his hand" But one Nj
=. agara is enough for the continent or the
world, while the same world requires thous-
ands and tens of thousands of silver foun.
tainsand gently flowing rvulets, that water
every farm, and meadow and every garden,
and that shall flow on every day and night
with their gentle, quiet beauty 80 with the
acts of our lives. 1t is not by great deeds,
like those Of the martyrs, that good is to be
done, but by the daily and quiet virtues Of
life, the Christian temper, the good qualities
of relatives and friends.-[ Albert Barnes

Very Proud T0-Niglst.

1t was cold night in winter The wind
blew and the snow was whirled furiously about,
seeking to hide itself beneath cloaks. and
hoods, and in the very hair of those that were
out A distinguished lecturer was to speak,
ard notwithstanding the storm the villagers
venturcd forth to hear him. William Annes-
ley, buttoned up to the chin, in his thick over
coat accompanied his mother 1t was diff
cult to walk through the new-fallen snow,
against the piercing wind, and William said
to his mother
Couldn't YOU walk more easily if you took
my arn?'
'"Perhaps | could" his mother replied, as
she put her ann through his, and drew up as
close as possible to him. Together they breast
ed the storm, the mother and the boy who had
once been carried in her arms, but who had
grown up so tall that she conld now lean on
him. They had not walked far before he said
to her:
II am very proud tonight aE-
"Proud that you can take care of meg she
sud to him with a heart gushing with tender
ness. ..
"rhs is the first time you have leaned upon
me" said the happy boy. t.tt..
There will be hours in that childs life of
more exalted pleasure than he enjoyed that
evening, even if he should live to old age, and
should, in his manhood, lovingly provide for
her who watched over him in his helpless in
fancy. 1t was a noble pride that made his
mother love him, if possible, more than ever,
and made her pray for him with new earnest
ness, thankful for his devoted love and hope
full for his future. There is no more beautiful
