He came into the room where was, and,
In the most cordial and courteous way
possible, gave me his hand, and smiling

He could not control himself, simply
because he did not sufficiently appreciate

his home was his den in which he could

Home Life.

The other day I chanced to enter a
friends house. He did not know l was
in the parlor, and I overheard his convers-
alton. He was very harsh in his dealings
with his child. He was "out of Sorts
that morning. "The wind was east, and
the east wind blew into his lungs, and in
TO his soul, and soured his mind, and sour
ed his heart, and so, like base miscreant
as he was, he vented his bad temper on
his wife and children. 1t is bad habit
some men have.
This man was talking in hard, un-
christian manner talking as no father
should talk. He had lost his temper. lie
was saying that he would be sorry in a
few moments. And then the servant an
nounced my presence. Mind you, the
man would have said, he could not help
it: 1.-The boy teased me! He did what |
cannot endure, and on the impulse Of the
moment, l spoke my anger. l could not
control myself"
There was frown on his face when |
was announced; being more or less of a
stranger, demanding of him certain court
estes, he at once smoothed his face rs
though nothing had happened-as though
the sun was shining brightly in the heav-
ems. and the wind was south, aud not east.

MAGNESIUM Lights.

Late scientific intelligence from Eng

by new processes of manufacture about to
lie introduced. will be brought down 10
shilling an ounce, retail. At this price its
use in lamps, in the shape ofribbon oithe

The supply of magnesium ores and other
compounds is unlimited. Dolomite, one

HARSH JUDGMENT.

God whose thoughts are brightest light
Whose love runs always clear,
To whose kind wisdom, SHINING souls
Amidst their sins are dear
Sweeten my bitterthoughted heart
With charity like Thine,
Till self shall be the only spot
On earth which does not shine.
HarSi-heartedness dwells not with souls
Round whom thine arms are drawn;
And dark thoughts fade away in Grace,
Like cloud-spots in the dawn.
Time was when believed that wrong
In others to detect
Was part of genius, and gin
To cherish, not reject.
Now. better taugh, by Thee, o Lord
This truth dawns on NV mind
The best effect of heavenly light
Is earth's false eyes TO blind.
He whom no praise can reach, is aye
Mems least attempts approving;
Whom justice makes all-merciful,
omniscience makes alllcving.
When we ourselves least kindly are,
We deem the world unkind;
Dark hearts, in flowers where honey lies,
Only the poison find.
How Thou canst think SO well Of us,
Yet be the God Thou art,
Is darkness 20 my intellect
But sunshine to my heart.
Yet habits linger in the soul;
More grace o Lord more grace
More sweetness from thy loving heart
More sunshine from thy face

ed, had so long stood face to face with
death. had so accustomed myself to look
upon it as merely momentary pang,
that no longer felt solicitous save that
my memory should one day be yindica-
ted.
She for whom had gone to prepare n
home had already found one in heaven.
The tidings of my calamity had broken
her heart. She alone of all the world
believed me innocent; and she had died
with prayer upon her lips that the truth
might be brought to light.
All this / had heard, and it had soothed
as with sweet incense my troubled spirit,
Death however unwelcome the shape,
was now portal beyond which / could
now see one angel waiting to receive me.

footsteps, and nerved myself to meet the
expected summons. The door Of my
cell opened, and the sheref and his atten-
dants entered. He held in his hand pa
per. 1t was doutless my death-warrant.
He began to read it. My thoughts were
busted elsewhere. The words &" FULL
AND FREE PARDON" were the first TO strike
my preoccupied senses. They affected
the bystanders more than myself. Yet
so it was; pas pdrioned for an offence

The real culprit, none other, it is need
less to say, than he who had sought and
abused my hospitality, had been mortally
wounded in recent affray in q distant
city, but had lived long enough to make
disclosure, which had been laid before
the Governor barely in time to save me
from shameful death, and condemn me
to cherries and burdensome lie.
This is my EXPERIENCE. My judg-
ment, as yours, in the ease before us
leads TO but one conclusion, that Of the
prisoners guilt; but not less confident
and apparently unelring was the judg.
ment that falsely pronounced my own"
We no longer importunod our fellow

The prisoner was tried and convicted
at subsequent term, and at the last mo-
ment confessed his crime on the scaffold.

SILENT INFLUENCE. Albert Barnes says
at is the bubbling stream that flows
gently; the little rivulet which runs day
and night by the farmhouse is useful,
rather than the swollen flood or roaring
cataract. Niagara excites OUR wonder,
we stand amazed at the power and great
ness of God there, as he pours it from
the hollow of his hand; but one Niagara
is enough for the continent or the world.
while the same world requires thousands
and tens of thousands of silver fountains
and gently flowing rivulets that water

Soon after the son reported one of them

A LONG PRAYER.-D Deacon B., Of Ohio,
very pious man, was noted for his long
prayers, especially in his family. One
Monday morning, the deacon and his
wife was alone, aud as was his usual
custom after breakfast prayer was Offer
ed. There being an unusual amount OF
work that day, the deacon's prayer was
short. He seized his hat and milk-pail
and started for the barn. His wife being
very deaf did not notice his absence, but
supposed him to be still engaged in pray
er. On his return from milking, he was
surprised to find her still kneeling. He
stepped up to her and shouted "Amen,"
