Worth better than show.

\ young Oriental prince was visiting at
the castle Of duke in one Of the finest coun.
ties in England. He looked from his window
into beautiful garden, aud inhaled the fra.
GRANGE which was waited toward him by the
gentle breath Of June
" What exquisite perfume" he cried
bring me, pray you, the flower which so
delights my sense. See you yon stately stalk
bearing on its shaft those gorgeous lilies
whose snowy petals are veined with blood-red
lines and with violet shade; that is undoubt.

They brought him the curious lily of AT.

" Its odor is nauseatng,n he said "but
bring me that flower Of hue so much deeper
and richer than even the beautiful roses Of
my own fair land.
" Sec how it glows like fame surely
rich odor should distil from that regal
plant"
1t was dahlia, and its scent was even less
agreeable than that Of the lily.
Can it be, then the large white blossoms
clustered on yondcr bush or the blue cups on
the neighboring shrub ?" he asked
No, the SNOWFALL and campanula proved
alike scentless Various plants yielded their
odorless buds or broad-spreading petals for
his inspection. But he found not what he
sought
" Surely it must be that golden ball." he
said " for so snowy bloom should at least
charm the nostril as well as the eye"
Faugh" 1t was a marigold
AT length they placed in his hand wee
brown blossom.

He cautiously lifted il to his face.
" Is it possible ?" he cried. " Is i. really
this unobtrusiye brown weed which gives
forth so precious an odor? Why, it hangs
over the whole garden, and comes tanning in
at the window like the very breath of health
and purity. What is the name of this little
darling2"
" Precisely that your highness,' answered
his attendant" this flower is called mig
nonette, the little darling"
Wonderful wonderful !" repeated the
astonished prince, placing it in his bosom.
Thus your highness perceives," remarked
his tutor, gravely, " that the humble and un-
pretending often exhale the most precious
virtues. Little Pilqrim.

Frank Kingston'S Resolve.
ny ALTA GRANT.


Helloo, Frank, where re you bound for?"
cried Ned Hillary to his friend Frank Kings
ton
"Just got home, said Frank they kept
US pretty busy at the shop, tonight, and We
couldn't shut up till late"
"Well, say, don't stay at home and nope
all the evening, Its splendid night let's
have some fun"
"What kind of fun 2" asked Frank.
Oh, most anything. A game of billiards
perhaps, for variety"
Frank hostated. He knew very well that
his parents did not approve Of his going to
the billiard-room, but his tondness for the
game sometimes overcame his scruples.
We'll, III come if can" he said, as he
moved on.
Ned called after him, Don't fail that's a
good fellow. I'll meet you at the corner"
1t had been busy day, and Frank was
tired and hungry. The table was waiting for
him when he reached home, and his mother
met him at the door with smile and a pleas
ant word, but her voice had weary sound
which Franks ear could not fail to catch.
He did not think Of it again, however, until

leave the house, his glance fell on her troub-
led face. She was rocking the baby, who was
wakeful and worrying; the table was yet to
be cleared, and the girl was away on visit
to her sick sister. For an instant Frank de-
liberated, then back went the old straw hat,
to its nail behind the door, and the next mo-
ment he had coaxed baby from mother'sarms,
and was quicting it as gently as a girl 1t
was pretty picture that they made in the
golden twlight--'the curly headed boy hush
ing the baby sister TO sleep--and the pleased
smile on their mothers face told that to her
eye, no painting by any Of the masters could
be half so sweet.
Eight o'clock came and baby was sleeping
soundy. Mother had seated herself darning
stockings, and Frank was wondering whether
ii was still early enough to meet Ned when
his father came in with the evening papers.
Very busy tonight, Frank y he asked.
g My eyes feel badly and don't like to use
them much. Suppose you read awhile to
mother and me-"
1t was somewhat of disappointment, and
Frank began the task reluctantly, but quickly
becoming interested, all thoughts of Ned and
the evening" amusements vanished. After the
reading, there was u pleasant chat over the
events of the day, and when Frank knelt
with his father and mother at prayers, he felt

KNOWING THE SHEPHERDS VOICE.

The Eastern focks still exhibit the beauti-
full traits from which our Lord drew one of
his most touching illustrations of true dis
eipleship. Mr., Hartley, a missionary in
Greece, gives a curious Illustration of the
truthiuness of one Of the touching images of
our Saviour:
My attention was called, said he, to the
words, The sheep hear his voice, and he
calleth his own sheep by their names"
asked my guide if it was custom in Greece
to give names to sheep. He replied aflirma-
lively, and assured me that the sheep would
come when the shepherd pronounced their
name. The next day verified the truth of
this statement. Passing near flock asked
the same question of the shepherd. He re-
piled, Yes" | asked him to call one Of
his sheep by name He did so, and at the
moment he pronounced the name, sheep
left his pasture and companions and came
skipping along to the hand of his master,
with marks of obedience and gladness which
have never seen in other animals 1t is
also true, here, that the sheep will not follow
a stranger, for they know not the voice of
strangers. The shepherd told me that some
of his flock were yet sapageS, and knew not
their names, but that, in the end, they would
all learn them. Those which had learned
their names he called soeiable, or tame.

SPIRITUAL WEAKNESS.

Rev. I. l.. Cuyer has some good hints for
many who are complaining Of spiritual dark
ness and dearth, but doing nothing earnestly
to attain greater light and joy. He says;
But it requires no great skill to detect the
cause of Deacon As dyspepsia, or
Mrs. BIS spiritual paralysis, or Mr.
C---'s rheumatism Of the knees. How
can Christian be healthy who never tolls
for souls, and never faces u hard wind : How
can a mans faith be strong who never wres-
ties at the mercy seat How can man
grow in spiritual knowledge who never studies
anything but his ledger, and the daily news
paper? How can Christians lungs be
sound when he is breating the poisoned air of
the house Of mirth How can he rejoice to
meet his Saviour at the communicable
when he has been denying or betraying that
Saviour everywhere besideG Weak hands,
and feeble knees are not merely the misior-
tune of backsliders they are their own sin
and shame. II is not visitation of Prov
idence" that has laid them on their backs
and made them well nigh useless in the church,
but a visitation of the Great Tempter -
Friend if you are selfmade invalid, you
must, under God, be your own restorer. God
may graoiously spare thee yet few years to
make amends for having been cumberer

Follow him home now from the scene Of
his debauch. He is an only son. On him
the hopes of the family are centered. Every
nerve has been strained to give him the choi-
eest education. Parents and sisters gloried
in his talents and looked forward to his future
fame. Alas already these visions are less
bright.
Enter now the the family circle. Parents
surrounded by lovely daughters. Within
that circle reigns peace, virtue and refinement.
The evening has been spent in animated con-
yersation and the sweet interchange Of aflec-
tionate endearment. But there is one who
used to share all this, who was the centre of
that circle Why is he not here? The hour
of devotion has come they kneel before their
Father and God A voice that used to min
gle in their praise is wanting An hour rolls
away-another hour has gone. Why has all
cheeriulness gone? Why do those parents
start at every footstep2
The step Of that son and brother is heard.
The door is opened-he staggers in before
them, and is stretched out at their feet in all
the loatksomeness of intoxication.
Oh who shall tell the sorrows Of home
made dark with sin2-Rer. DR.. Wayland.

THE LOVED AND LOST.

The loved and lost why do We call them lost
Because we miss them FROM our outward rond.
Gods unscon engol oor our pathway cIost,
Looked on us all, and loving them the most
strai ightway relieved them from life's weary load
They are not lost they are within the door
That shuts out loss and ovcry hurthl thing
with angels bright, and loved ones gone before,
In their Redoemer's presence cyermore,
And God himself their Lord, their Judge and King.
And this we call loss. selfish sorrow
Ofsclash hearts. 1--WE ofllttle mi;hi
Let us look round some argument 10 borrow
Why we In patience should await the morrow,
That surely must succeed this night Of death
Ave look upon this dreary desert path,
The thorns and thisties whorcsoc'cr we turn
What trials and what tears, what wrongs and wrath
What struggles and what strife the journey hath
They have escaped from these; aud loi we mourn
Ash the poor sailor, when the wreck Is DONE
Who, with his treasure, strove the shore 60 reach
While with the raging waves he hattled on,
Was it not JOY, where every joy seeinod gone
To see his loved ones landed on the beach
A poor yfarcr, leading by the hand
A little child had halted by the wcl
To wash from oG her feet the clingIng sand.
And tell the tired boy Of that bright land
Where, this long journey past they longed ~ dwell
When 10 the Lord who many mansions had
Drew and looked upon the suffering twain.

In strength renewed and glorious beauty clad,

Nay, but the woes feel he too must share "
Or, rather, bursting into grateful song,
She went her way rejoicing, and made strong
To struggle on, since he was freed from care
We viii do likewise. Death hath made no breach
In love and sympathy in hope and trust.
No outward sigh sound our ears can reaeh
But there's an inward spiritual speech,
That greet- still though mortal tongues be dust
II bids us do the work that they laid down
Take up the song where they broke Oh the strains

ty and noble intellect, went to rumseller,
who was daily enticing her father to drink
intending soon to possess his snug little farm
She told him he was not only destroying her
father but bringing disgrace on her and her
mother. Oh, he said, she would soon be
marred--she need not trouble herself. She
replied she never should; she should never
consent to involve in their shame one that

She would work with her own hands, and
every day bring him the amount of money

sell him no more. She entreated him with

poor girl if he should say to her father that
She had requested him to sell him no more,
Her eye flashed and reason reeled. " You
