STORY or PAIIH AND TRUST.
/
St. Marks Church is the great cathedral
Of Venice. II stands in the ouly square in
/ the Island CITY. In this church, it is said,
the body Of 81 Mark was buried, who wrote
the gospel The city Of Venice is built on
many small islands 1t has canals instead Of
cars Long, black, low boats, gondoliers,
take the place Of coaches The city is very
large aud It's various portions are united by
four hundred and fifty bridges, among which
was the famous Bridge of Sighs, over which
prisoners walked to the dreary prison, from
which few ever returned. As they left hope
behind them, the bridge obtained its name [;
for the prisoners sighed for liberty they might
never again enjoy.
In front of St. Marks, every day at two
o'clock, most remarkable sight is seen. At
five minutes before two not pigeon can be
seen; but the moment St. Marks bell tolls
out the hour of two, the air becomes black
with the doves and pigeons. They fly from
every conceivable direction, as If gathered by
miracle. Tens Of thousands, and, as it is
said, hundreds of thousands of them are call
ed together at the sound of the bell, and they
alight in the square, in front Of the church
They do not gather except at that exact hour
Of the day. They know when two o'clock
comes as well as any boy or girl in the land
They never mistake the hour, and come at
one or three. instead of two. When the pur.
pose for which they have gathered has been
answered, they separate, aud are not seen
again until the next day.
And what do these birds gather in front of
that church for, by hundreds of thousands.
every day, at particular hour ?
Well. | will tell YOU. Many years ago a
wealthy old lady lived in Venice. She was
Countess. She was a noble lady of the land.
She had no children. and one cold season she
thought the birds of the city were not well
fed As she walked ont one day she ordered
her maid 10 throw the pioeons some grain in
front of the church. The Countess was a
very systematic old lady. and took her walk
Mt he same bour each dav As she went bv
the church the next afternoon some Of the
pigeons remembered her. They few round
and round the Countess, asking. in their way
If she bad anv grain for them that dav. The
old lady was greatly pleased with their good
memory and confidence. and sent her maid
hack for some food. Every day after that,
lust as the clock struck two, the Countess,
with her servant, walked in front of the
church and fed the birds. The birds knew
the bour ouite as well as she did. The Aock
increased until il was numbered by thousands
hefore the Kind lady died.

the little birds swarm round the kind old lady

TOuoHING INSTANCE OF CHILDISH DEvo-
TIoS.-Three children in New Brunswick got
astray. One was about six years Of age, the
others four and three. 1t was wild region,
and in wild weather, and at the edge of the
night. From signs, il seems that the six
years old soon felt sure that there was no
hope of their being found, or finding them
selves that night and so it took measures at
once for the safe-keeping Of its little ones
Putting them in the most sheltered nook il
could find it then stripped away the most of
its own garments to put on them, and set out
to gather dry seaweed and brush to cover
them up in and defend them. Quite guam
tity Of this had been gathered and piled about
the babes into a sort OF nest, and there they
lay when the people found them, still alive
but the six year old matron and martyr lay
out on the shore dead Of the cold lay beside
the last pile of brush it had been able to
gather, but was not able to bring in.

Christ is no phantom and in heaven
though divine, and therefore spiritual, he is
still man, and therefore material like our
selves. The very flesh and blood that suffer-
ed upon Calvary is in heaven the hand that
was pierced with the nail now at this moment
grasps the sceptre of all worlds; that very
head which was bowed down with anguish is
now crowned with royal diadem and the
face that was so marred is the very face which
beams Respondent amidst the thrones of heav-
en-. Into that self same countenance we shall
be permitted to gaze. o what sight Roll
by, years hasten on ye laggard months and
days, to let us but once behold him, our Be-
loved, our hearts care, "who redeemed us
unto God by his blood" whose we are, and
whom we love with such a passionate desire
that to be in his embrace we would be salts

BY = LADY.
The A0ral sun is calling
The dewdrops hence On high.
From brook and lake and river
The vapors seek the sky:
Earth gives them up, reluctant;
And faint with thirst and heat
MOurns for the children of the morn.
50 radian, and 50 aeet.
Bot they have not forgotten,
Ia heavens serener raw.
The beauty and the brightness
From which they fled away.
The dew remembers tOndly
The sweetness Of the rose,
And the spirit of the riyulet
Its carly music knows
And when the earth is faintine
And weary for the rain,
In showers Of love and blessing
They come to her again.
With cool refreshing fingers
They bathe her heated brows,
And the song that they have learned o
high
Through all her being flows.
Oh, dare we take the lesson
of the dewdrop and the rain?
Do the angels who have left as
Return To us again
In Heavens eternal sunshine.
Renewed and purified,
Do they keep the memory of the land
In which they lived and died?
When we arise from weeping
From the idols we adored,
And our lips repeat with ieryor
" All, all, shall he restored 80
Are they not bending DER us
With more than human love,
And whispering to our inm0st hearts
OF holier joys above2
Descend, o blessed angels,
In glories ever new;
Reveal to us new lessons
OF the beautiful and true
As the rain the earth resreshes
Let Your love ON Us be shed,
Till we follow up the rainbow path,
Whittier our loved are fed.

Jenny Lind and the Bird.

| remember hearing stage drivers story
Of Jenny Lind when she was riding in the
country. A bird of brilliant plumage perched
on tree near by, as they drove slowly along,
and trilled out such complication of sweet
notes as perfectly astonished her. The coach
stopped, and reaching out she gave one other
finest roulades. The beautiful creature arch
ed his head on one side and listened deferen-
TALLY then, as if determined to excel his fa-
nous rival, raised his graceful throat, aud
sang song of ripping melody that made
Jenny rapturously clap her hands in ecstacy,
and quickly, as though she were before Sc
verely critical audience in Castle Garden, de-
liyered some Tyrolean mountain strains that
set the echoes flying, whereupon little birdie
took it up and sang and trilled and sang till
Jenny in happy delight acknowledged that

Gems Of Truth.

FEAR or FALLING. There was a holy man
that rarely heard of other mems crimes and
sins, bat he usually bedewed the place with
his tears, considering that the seeds of those
very sins were in his own nature. In thy
nature thou hast that which would lead thee,
with Pharisees, to oppose Christ, and, with
the soldiers, to cruelty Christ. Oh what
monster would thou prove should God but
leave thee to act suitably in that sinful and
woeful nature of thine " have known Il
good old man." says Bernard, "who, when
he heard of any one that had committed some
notorious offence, was wont to say within
himself, He fell to-day, so may to-mor-
row" Now, the reason why humble souls
keep up in themselves a holy fear of falling
is, because that is the very best way to pre-
serve them in their upward path.-Brooks.
