BrcIS ruR DAY WITH GoD.-Thero are many
toiins ones whose time is not ut their own com
mand. But thero is not one who cannot hold
converse with God. His ear can hear amid
tho clang and roar Of machinery or the hum
OF hundreds OF voices. The heart can 60 up
to him, no matter what tho surroundings
Wherever Abraham pitched his tent, there no
raised up an altar to the Lord. So, wherever
tho Christian heart is, there IS also an accnptn
bio altar from which tho incense OF prayer aud
praise may ascend.
fot thorc are but few who ma Z not, if they
will, fEd time and place for private commun-
ion with God before entering on tho mornings
duties.
Luther, in his busiest seasons, felt that pray.
ing-timc was never lost. When remarkably
pressed with labprs, he would say, I" l have SO
much to do that cannot get on without three
hours day praying"
Sir Mathew Hale also bears testimony: at
omit praying and reading Gods word in the
morning, nothing goes well oil day" How
many Of us may aud here the cause of many
OF our failures, and consequent discomfort and
loss Of happiness.

ing for more rope until SO much line was ex-
bausted that it was calculated he had attach
cd to him rope longer than twice the dis
tance from the moon to the earth. When he
came up he had pretty story to tell. The
bell had gone down below the Ash country,
Into pure region paved with cornl and shin
ing pebbles. There were huge streets there,
aud squares ornamented with pyramids Of orys-
tai, while the buildings were of mother Of
pearl, embossed with patterns Of colorcd shells
aoing through passage, dragging tho bell
after him, he found himself in large room in
which were amber chairs and table, The floor
was of rough diamonds, topazes, rubics and
pearls. Why not bring up some of them :
Very true, few of these would have boon
worth n thousand wrecks, but, unfortunately.
they were closely wcdged in and ccmcntcd.
On the jasper walls hung, attached Ivy strings,
chains, cascanets and rings, of finely cut pre-.
cious stones, The walls and stays Of earth.
He had just edged himself within a foot of

TALKING FISE.-Eudicrous bluntlcrs some
times occur in cuses when ignorant persons at-
tempt the use of language about the meaning
of which they know nothing.
Not long since, while travelling from Pitts
burg to Cincinnati, two rather verdant speei-
mems Of the female sex came on board the
boat Mt one of the landings, whom, for the
sake OF distinction, wo will call Mary and
Jane.
Now, Mary had her cyc-teeth cut, or in
other words, was acquainted with the rules
and regulations which govern gcnteel society.
Jane, the younger, had never mixed in society
to any extent. Her language was such as she
had heard among her rustic acquaintance
Mary was aware of this fact and therefore
cautioned her to observe how she (Mary) act
ed, aud govern herself accordingly. -.
Shortly after, while seated Mt the dinner table,
the waiter asked Mary what part of the fowl
she woald have. She informed him in a very
polite manner that 1t was "perfcctly inmate
rial" .-' 80. ...-
Ho accordingly gave her a piece, and then
inquired Of Jane what part sho would prefer.
az believe I will take picco Of the imma-
teriai too" So, =.
