Serving GOD,

That IS one thing constantly reiterated
by our Master, the order Of all others that
is given oftenest ''Do justice and judg.
ment" That's your Bible order: that's the
"Service of God," not praying nor psalm
singing. You are told, indeed, to sing
psalms when you are merry, and to pray
when you need anything; and by the per-
version of the evil spirit we get to think
that praying and psalm-singing are ''serv-
ice." If a child finds itself in want OF
anything, it runs and asks its father for il
does it call that doing its father a SER
vicei If it begs for a toy or piece of
cake-does it call that serving its fatheri
That, with God is prayer, and he likes
to hear it; he likes you to ask him for cake
when you want it but he doesn't call that
Serving him." Begging is not serving:
God likes mere beggars as little as you do.
He likes honest servants, not beggars. So
when child loves its father very much,
and is very happy, it may sing little songs
about him, but it dosen't call that serving
its father: neither is singing songs about
God serving God. 1t is enjoying our
selves; most probably it is nothing, but if
it's anything, it is serving ourselves, not
God. And yet we are impudent enough
to call beggings and chanting, ''Diyine
Service" We say 'tDivine Service will
be performed That's our word-the form
of it gone through at eleven o'clock"
Alas ! unless we perform Divine Service
in every willing act of our life, we never
perform it at all.-Ruskin.

Stiff Upper Lip.

Charlotte P. Hawkes., in paper on In
validism' in the last atlantic, has this good
paragraph:
There is nothing like a well-fought re-
sistance in the early stages of invalidism.
Keep up the will, and if need be the tenn

run loose, and to gather up the gritty de-

borough, who, when told that she must
be blistered or die, exclaimed, Il won't be
blistered, and l won't dep Indeed, it is
often necessary to reverse the decision of
the doctor who gives one up, and simply
end by giving him up. The numbers are
untold who have died solely from being
given up,-I do not mean of the doctors.
Poor, timid mortslsl they only heard the
words and meekly folded their hands and
went On the other side, there is no end
to the people who have been given up all
through their lives, and who have utterly
refused to depart They have kind of
useless toughness which prevents them
from dying, without endowing them to
live. These animated relics often show
no fitness for either world, and they are
not even ornamental.

The straw, the Coal, and Bean.
[FRoM eRrMM's GERMAN "PoPULAR TALES.

In certain village there dwelt poor
woman, who had gathered dish of beans,
which she wished to cook. So she made
fire upou the hearth, and, that it might
burn the quicker, she lighted it with a
handful of straw. And, as she shook the
beans up In the saucepan, one fell out un@
perceived, and came down upon the
ground near straw; soon after glowing
coal burst out of the fire, and fell Just by
these two. Then the Straw began to say,
"My dear friend, whence do you come ~
The Coal replied, ''By good luck 1 sprp- !,
out of the fire, and if had cot ;pmnoS
away by force, my death had been Ger
tain, and | should have been reduced 10
ashes" The Bean continued, 81 also have
got away with whole skin, but, had the
old woman put me in the pot with the
others, should have been boiled to pieces.
as my comrades are" "Would better
fate have fallen to my share 2" said the
Straw; 'for the old woman has suffocated
in tire and smoke all my brothers; sixty
has she put on at once, and deprived Of
life; happily, slipped between her fin
gers"
"But what shall we do now 2" asked the
Coal.
81 think, said the Bean, ''sincs we have
SO luckily escaped death, we will ioin in
partnership, and keep together like good
companions; lest new misfortune over
take us, let us wander, forth and travel
into a strange country"
This proposition pleased the two others,
and they set out together on their travels.
Presently they came to little stream,
over which there was no bridge or path,
and they did not know how they should
get over The Straw gave good advice,
and said, 81 will lay myself across, so that
bridge"
So the Straw stretched itself from one
bank to the other, and the Coal, which
was OF a fiery nature, tripped lightly upon
the newly-built bridge. But when it came
to the middle of it and heard the water
running along beneath, it was frightened,
and stood still, not daring to 90 further.
The Straw, however, beginning to burn,
broke in two and fell into the stream, and
the Coal, slipping after, hissed as it reach
ed the water, and gave up the ghost The
Bean, which had prudently remained up
on the shore, was forced to laugh at this
accident land the joke being so good, it
laughed so immoderately that it burst
ITSELF Now, they would all have been
done for alike, if tailor, who was out on
his wanderings, had not just then, by great
good luck, sat himself down near the
stream. Having commiserating heart,
he took out needle and thread, and sewed
the Bean together. The Bean thanked
him exceedingly; but as the tailor used
black thread, it has happened since that
time that every Bean has black seam.

THE LADY AND THE ROBBERS s,
AN EXCITING STORY.

In charming village situated in ro-
mantle country, but considerable dis
tance from the high road, was the place
where Baron b usually spent the
summer. His mansion, built on an emf
nence, was perfectly adapted to his for
tune. 1t was a spacious building, very
elegant within and without, and exhibited
a good style of architecture. Itwas about
two hundred PAGES from the village.
Business obliged the Baron to take a
journey of a few days; his wife, who was
but twenty years of age, and very beauti-
ful, remained at home. He took with him
two of the servants, and two others re-
manned with the Baroness. No violation
of the public security had ever been heard
of in that part of the country, and as the
Baroness did not belong to the timid por-
tion of her sex, the idea of danger was far
from entering her mind. The evening af-
ter the Baron's departure, as she was step
ping into bed she heard an alarming noise
in an apartment near her chamber. She
called out but received no answer. The
confusion and screaming increased every
moment. She was at loss to conceive
what was the matter, and hastily putting
on her garments, went to the door to dis
cover the cause. A horrible spectacle pre-
sented ITSELF Her two servants, half ma
ked, were extended lifeless upon the floor.
The room was full of strange looking
men-the Baroness chambermaid was
kneeling before one of them, and instead
of the mercy she implored, she received
the fatal stroke. No sooner was the door
opened, than two barbarians, with drawn
swords, rushed towards it.
What woman, or even man, would not
have been struck with terror and given up
life and everything as lost!
A loud shrek Of despair, a fight of
few PAGES would probably have been the
first act of many. The Baroness, how
ever, conducted herself in a different man
ner.
"And you have come at last" exclaimed
she, in a tone of heartfelt Joy, and advanc-
ing towards her assailants, with haste
that highly astonished them, they lowered
their uplifted weapons.
"And you have come at last" repeated
she; ''such visitors as you have long de-
sired to see."
'Desired ?" muttered one of the assail-
ants; "what do you mean by that? but
stay, I'll
He had already raised his cutlass but a
companion averted his stroke.
'Stay moment, BROTHER" said he, "let
us first hear what she would have"
Nothing but what is your pleasure,
brave comrades. You are men after my
own heart, and neither you nor l will have
any reason to repent it, if you listen for
two minutes to what l have to say"
"Speak! Speak" cried the whole band.
''But be quick" replied one of the fierc-
est, "for we shall not make much cere-
mony."
Nevertheless, hope you may grant
me hearing. Know, that although l am
the wife of the richest man in the coun
try, yet the wife of the meanest beggar
cannot be more unhappy than l am. Ny
husband is one of the most Jealous and
fellows in the world. l hate
him as hate the devil, and it has long

THE CIDER MILL.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

Under the blue New England skies,
Flooded with sunshine avalley lies.
The mountains clasp it. warm and sweet,
Lie a sunny child to their rocky feet.
Three pearly lakes and hundred streams,
Like on its quiet heart of dreams.
Its meadows are the greenest ever seen,
Its harvest fields have the brightest sheen:
Through its trees the softest sunlight shakes
And the wildes lliest gem its lakes.
love, OIL better than words can tell,
Its every rock and grove and dell:
But most love the gorge where the rill
Comes down by the old cider mill.
Above, the clear springs gurgle out
And the upper meadows wind about:
Then Join and under willows flow
Round knolls where blue-beach whip-stock
grow,
To rest in shaded pool that keeps
The oak tree clasped in crystal deeps.
Sheer twenty feet the water falls
Down the old dams broken walls,
Spatters the knobby boulders gray,
And laughing, HES in the shade away.
Under great roots, through trout pools still,
With many'a tumble down to the mill.
ALI the way down the nut-trees grow,
And squirrels hide above and below,
Acorns, bPechnuts chestnuts there
Drop all the fall through the hazy air;
And burrs roll down with curled-up leaves,
In the mellow light of harvest ewes,
Forever there the still, old trees
Drink wine of peace that has no lees.
By the roadside stands the cider MILL
Where lowlaud slumber watts the rill;
A great brown building, two stories high,
On the western hill-face warm and dry;
And odorous piles of apples there
Fill with incense the golden air;
And heaps of pumice, mixed with straw,
To their amber sweets the lote flies draw.
The carts back up to the upper door,
And spill their treasures on the floor:
Down through the toothed wheels they 90
To the wide deepcider press belowe
And the screws are turned by slow degrees
Down on the straw-laid cider cheese:
And with each turn fuller stream
Bursts from beneath the groaning beam.
An amber stream that gods might sip,
And fear no sorrows parched lip.
But whel efore gods? Those ideal toys
Were soulless to real New England boys
What Classic goblet ever felt
Such thrilling touches through it melt,
AS throb electric along straw
When boyish lips the cider draw
The years are heavy with weary sounds,
And their discord lifes sweet music browns;
But yet hear OIL sweet, oh! sweet,
The rill that bathed my bare, brown feet;
And yet the cider drips and falls
On my inward ear at intervals:
And lead at times in a sad, sweet dream,
To the babbling of that little stream;
And sit in visioned autumn still,
In the sunny door of the cider MILL

Oliver Wendell Holmes thus discourses
on a Thankful Heart :-'1f one should give
me dish of sand, and tell me there were
particles of iron in it l might feel for them
with my clumsy fingers, and be unable to
find them; but let me take magnet and
sweep through it and how it would draw
to itself the almost invisible particles by
the mere power of attraction! The un-
thankful heart like my finger in the sand,
discovers no mercies; but let the thank
full heart sweep through the day, and as
the magnet finds the iron, so it will find
in every hour some heavenly blessings;
only, the iron in Gods sand is gold"
