THE PARTI G..


Mother, come here, sit where the light falls best
Where may see your dear face from the gloom
Shine out the last thing ere 20 to rest
The Master calls me to the Upper Room
Sit near the window. small and diamond-paned,
Tlro' which the sun comes struggling hall the
day;
1t .peaks to me of my short life, sin-stained.
Where rays of goodness dimly pierce their ray
| once had hoped-but now It's all as one
Our windows might have looked ON fields of
flowers.
On wind-stirred corn-aelds bending in the sun;
This is oyershadowed by cathedral towers
And far beneath there blooms no how ret sweet,
There runs no streamlet limpid, blue, and
bright
Below, there 5 nothing but the dusty street.
And stranger faces that bring no delight.
Sit near the window from my corner here
! can see nothing but the evening sky
The hum below grows distant and less clear;
feel like some winged tbing-l know not why.
! know not why, save that the tender hand
Incoils most tenderly the mortal coil,
I0os'ning the moorings from the earthly strand,
To set the bark free, seaward, from its toll.
ne LiluZs llNL EtltNtl llt must Htth llhe NAAe
Earth holds no sorrow worth sigh or tear
The things that pleased me most grow dim and
pale
/ And all seems nothing now that Heaven is near.
/ Perhaps in that bright home to which co.
/ The gold though broken, threads OF this
worlds joy
Shall into heavenly tissues blend and grow,
/ Which time may never tarnish nor destroy.
And as the cunning hands behind the frame
Fashion with patient care some grand design
Which neer shall bear the humble worker S
name,
Although queenly bower the arras line;
80 we work on, unkn0wing and unknown.
And broider future time with love and care,
Unwittingly, in suffering and alone,
Nor dream It's Gods own plan we work out
there.
To me my life seems like rayeled clew,
A tangled skein, where dark and light con
found
Now duh and sombre, now Of opal hue,
Ofno distinct design-a web unwound,
Put up the work What though my useless
hand
Forget its cunning, and my loom stand still
Others take it up--some of the band
of workers. who their task in turn fulfil
Dear mother, when the sun shall shine once more
Flooding the city streets, | shall be dead
Gone into utter silence eveunore--
And You will sit alone beside my bed
seem to see it all as It's, tbs best.
Mother, grieye not, YOU II come TO me ere long
l A little toll, and then-eternal rest
A little weeping, then--eternal song

God Glorired in the Heart.

Loyelier to look upon than any garden Of
flowers is the heart which God has beautified
with salvation. More beautiful than any
material things are the adornings of chris
tian character These flowers of grace ex-
otics from the heavenly paradise, made by
the Holy Spirits influences to bloom here
below, do much to make an Eden wherever
our sin-poluted atmosphere is periumed by
their sweetness, or our waste wilderness glad
dened by their beauty. Wherever spot Of
earth smiles with flowers, especially wherever
the desert blossoms with the rose there we
look with untiring pleasure. And wherever
in the world the beauty Of Christ is seen in
sinners saved-whereyer among Satans thorns
one of the Saviours lilies grow-wherever is
shed the fragrance of the Rose of sharon
wherever man like Enoeh walks with God
wherever a home is cheered by Christian
oyousness-whereve community Of be-
levers adorn the doctrines of the Gospel
there Gods eye rests with delight MCheyne
beautifully remarks that Bethany was called
in heaven " the town of Mary and her sister
Martha"
God is glorifed in His people more than
in all His works of nature. " The heavens
declare the glory of God, and the drmament
showeth His handwork Day unto day ut
tereth speech, and night unto night showeth
knowledge" But natures praise is either
silent or inarticulate while the new heart
sings forth its gladness not only audibly and
distinctly, but thankfully, and the loveines'
of grace maniiests itself in God-glorifying
aetions.-S. S. Times.

Bringing Home the Husbands.

One night in October, many years ago, l

one of the little inns in a Scotch fishing VII
lage, listening with some amusement to the
turmoil within. 1t wanted only about an
hour to closing time, but it was clear moon

dim outline of petticoats on the dark side OF
the road, and soon ascertained that they were

the smallest among them went to the door,
and demanded, " Is Saundie frae the shore

SOMETHING PunY.-Four gentlemen-a
Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, and Roman
Catholio-met by agreement to dine on fish
Soon as grace was said, the Catholic rose,
armed with knife aud fork, taking about
one-third of the fish, eomprehending the head,
removed it to his plate, exeleiming, as he sat
down, with great self.satisfaction, Papa est
eaput eceiesia- Pope is the head Of the
church" Immediately the Methodist minis
ter arose, and helping himself to about one
third, embracing the tail, seated himself, say
ing Enis coroidt opiS-Ihe end crowns
the work" The Presbyterian now thought
il was about time for him to move, and tax
ing the remainder Of the 6sh to his plate ex-
claimed, " In media est peritas--Truth lies
between the two extremes" Our Baptist
brother had nothing before him but an empty
plate, and the prospect of slim dinner; aud
snatching up the bowl of drawn (nolted) but
ter, hosdashed it over them all, exelaiming,
" Ego Japtiso ros--I baptize you all"

- Henry Ward Beecher stated in his SER
mon. Sunday, that he did not believe in the
propriety of the church rule permitting bap-
tism only to children, both of whose parents
are members Of the church. He said, how
ever, that he should conform to the regula-
tions, but outside of the church should not
hesitate to administer the rite to children,
one Of whose parents was a protesting Chris
