Sufficient Unto the Day.

1t seemed the great effort Of Mrs. Elmer's
life to crowd the greatest possible amount Of
work into each succeeding day. Her family
was not so large or her work Of necessity so
heavy, but she had the faculty of making
work beyond any other woman | ever saw.
She was small and light, and as active as a
squirrel, and seemed to have a capacity for
endurance almost beyond limit The trouble
was, no one could keep pace with her. A
constant succession Of changes were the result
in her kitchen, and very natural consequence
was rousing Of her own temper and the con-
soquent discomfort Of all her house.
On Monday morning all hands were arous-
cd long before day, and if neighbor's clothes
were auttering on the line before hers, woe
to poor Bridget for the rest of that day As
soon as the clothes were dry they must be
hurried into the basket, spriukled and folded.
Then if the coarser articles were not ironed
on Monday, it would be thought Il poor day
work. Towards night it was often her Gus
tom to take up carpet and turn room ILL.,
side out, preparatory to house cleaning on
Tuesday. The idea of Bridget putting ON n
clean calico dress and collar on Monday after
noon and sitting down to darn her stockings
would be thought quite absurd, Yet with
all this hurry aud hustle she had not accom-
plished more at the weeks end than her neigh
bors who lived at less driving rate. But
she had worn out the machinery Of nerve and
muscle a hundred per cent. more She had
lost the hour or two for intellectual improve
ment which she might have had, and was far
behind the times in all that pertained to gen
egal information aud social culture. She
was mere drudge, and, as is common with
those on her low plane of life, had 10 appro-
citation Of anything higher. Her children did
not not rise up and call her blessed" aud
her husband never thought Of such a thing as
praising her,
1t is destructive to all home comfort to hur-
ry two days work into one. 1t is not good
policy to drive business so enectualy that
there is never a restiul minute in the day for
self or help. There is enough hard drudgery
in every day life, when you have made it a.
light and cheerful as you can. Go about
your duties with energy and dispatch, but lot
the goal be an afternoon hour for rest and re-
creation, rather than that you may burder
to-day with a part of to-morrow's rightfu
labor. J, y. NC.

ono rha.e of a Life Of Fnilh.

The New York EreniHg Post under the
head, " A new Experiment in Living" gives
particular information respecting the " Band
of Faith " in Shurtef College, Of which,
through Western papers, we have had some
intimations 1t seems small pamphlet has
been published entitled "a Record of Gods
Dealings with the Band of Faith, in Shurt-
left College, organized Oct 3, 1868 with an
introduction by d. Reed A correspondent
of the st. Louis Republican says:
1.-THE Band of Faith is composed Of
theological students whose pecuniary means
and opportunities for remunerative employ
ment are so exceedingly limited as frequently
10 reduce them to the sorest straits for the
commonest necessaries of life. The society
itself originated in the mind Of one individ-
ual who, two years ago, found himself SO im-
poverished that he was on the verge of
abandoning his ministerial studies. He re-
solved to bring the subject directly before the
Almighty through the medium of prayer or,
in the words Of Mr.. Reed, he asked God for
a definite sum Of money for the term of the
college session. Shortly after the first term
commenced, his brother received an invita-
ton to preach at church some distance
away, and went. There he collected a few
dollars; and from the pareuts of dissipated
youth whom he reformed, he was also favored
with beneiactions, In short, the plan sue
ceeded, and desire to follow his example on
larger scale spread among the students. A
number met together and decided TO form the
society. A house and matron were needed,
and as one of them fortunately had both
] a. l. J..
His reply was, | will talk to the Lord and
my wife about IT, The response being favor
able, the work began and has been continued
up to the present time. The Band consists
of about twenty-five members, having a COM
mon table and a common purse. A box for
contributions is placed in the dining room,
which the treasurer opens every day, and
keeps a record of the receipts and expendi-
lures"
After giving few extracts from that rec
ord, and more from another kept by the
steward, showing how prayer had been an
swered, the writer says further;
" The social creed of The Band of Faith
is embraced in three short sentences:
l. To ask no one but God for their sup
plies.
?. Never to contract debts for their sup.
plies,
B. To be contented with what God gives
them
Its membership comprises nearly one-hali
of the students of Shurtlef College, and the
prospect is that before the termination OF
another year all will be gathered into the
| fold of a religious society which is certainly
as remor rk HE in its machinery and mana "a
ment as any thing of the kind that has even
come under our observation, in or out o

The Boy who wouldn'tTell a Lie.

Some days after one Of the English steam
ers had left Liverpool, not long ago, bright
looking boy, about eight years old, was found
aboard, who had been concealed in the vessel
since she left port, (which, by the way, is
quite u common occurrence.) He was ques-
toned by the officers as to how he came there.
He stated that he was an orphan, and had an
aunt living in Halifax, and that his uncle in
Liverpool, being poor aud unable TO support
him, had hid him in the vessel just before sail
ing, so that he might 60 to Halifax and live
with his aunt 1t seemed like the old story
to the officers Of the vessel, and they accused
him of being helped by the crew, and tried
their utmost by coaxing and threatening to
have him say that some of the sailors had
taken him aboard and given him food. But
they avaied nothing-the little fellow would
tell no other story. At last one Of the Off
GERS feeling sure that the boy was dcceiving
him, seized him by the arm with the remark,
" / am going to make you tell the truth y
and taking him to what is called the bridge,
said " In onc-half hour shall hang you un-
less you tell me which of the sailors have
been feeding you" Ii was Of no use-the
boy would not lie and when the officer told
him sternly that he had only two minutes to
live, the little fellow asked, "Sr, may |
pray 2n--and Immediately sunk on his knees,
and lifting his little hauds in an attitude of
prayer, slowly repeated the Lords Prayer,
amidst the upturned faces of the passengers
and crew of the vessel who had been anx-
iously watching the result of the officers
experiment. This sight was too much for
their doubts, aud caused most affecting
scene. The apparently rough officer burst
into tears and caught the little fellow in his
arms and hugged him as though in reality hC
had just escaped death After this event tn.
boy was young hero in the ship. He wa,
praised and treated with dainties, each one
/ being anxious to do something for him. and
when he arrived in Halifax he was taken BY
the same officer who had doubted him and
fitted with a nice suit of clothes, and carried
to his aunt, with a hearty Gods blessing fol
his iutnre career.

In Northern countries, where eider-ducks
build their nests among the rocks, the Nor
wegian and lceander may sleep under quilts
of eider-down but kindly mother now
spreads quilt even softer and whittier over
the bed where her children sleep.
The trees stand as nobly and gracefully
against the sky as ever but they are asleep
down to the very roots the fine grasping
roots that in the spring reached after food
like open mouths, and sent up sap streaming
and coursing through all the tree, are as qui-
ct in their dark bed as if there was no further
work to do in the world. The brown earth
wraps them about, but they might, for all
that, freeze, were it not for the down-quilt OF
the snow laid above them.
Now, come with me, and will show you
some Of the bedrooms where little animals are
taking their winter maps.
If we know where TO dig, we may push

you will hardly suspect is the doorway to an

we could scarcely find our way through them
to the room beyond and in such earthly
houses, the nevis and tritons lie twisted and
twined together by head and tail, nestling
closely for warmth for they are lizard-like
little creatures, loving the sunshine, and must,
consequently, sleep warmly through the win
ter, which is their night. The black-eyed
dormouse, too, is curled up to sleep in his
burrow with little store OF food by his side,

That trystng place Of God and mani TINT link
potwixt a ncar eternity and timci
That almost lonely rivulet which flows
From Elen through the worlds wide wnstc Of sand
Unchecked. and though not unalloyed with earth,
H. healing waters all improguol wiui llm
The life Of their first blessing. tn pure lips
The memory ofa hy-gone Paradise,
The earnest of o. Paradise 20 COME
Who know thee best love best, thou pearl OF days,
Aud guard thee with most Jealous care from morn
TIL dcwy evening, when the ceaselcss play,
Hour after hour, Of thy sweet Influences
Has turned the hearts ofpllgrims TO the songs
And music Of their heavenly mthor-and.
But mortal ear are heavy and mortal eyes
Catch only gimpscs, dim and indistinct,
Of things unseen, hcautcous hut far away
Enough to quicken, but not satiate love-
Aud the soon woarled spirit exhausted sighs
For wings to fee away and be at rest
Or solaees H. musings, there remains
A sabbath for the toiling Church OF God.
