INJUSTICE does greater wrong to him
who inf1icts than to him who suffers it
PUT of repentance till tomorrow, and
you have day more to repent of, and
a day less to repent in.
A LOVING heart and pleasant coun-
tenance are commodities which man
should never fail to take home with him.
They will best season his pillow. 1t was
a great thing for man that his wife and
children could truly say Of him: HE
never brought q frown Of unhappiness
across his Threshold.
The most common error of men and
women is that of looking for happiness
somewhere outside of useful work. 1t
has never yet been found, and never
will be while the orld stands. or all
the miserable human beings it has been
our lot to know, they were the most
wretched, who had retired from useful
employments, in order to enjoy them
selves.
For every one life has some blessings,
some cup that is not mixed with bitter
ness. At every heart there is some fount
of pure water, and all men, at seme
time or other, taste its sweetness. Who
is he, that has not found in his path of
life some fragrant rosebush, seeming all
the air with its sweet virtue that tn e
storm of time can never destroy? Write
your name by acts of kindness on the
hearts of the thousands you come in
contact with, year by year, and ysu
will never be forgotten. No, your name,
your deeds, will be as legible on the
hearts you leave behind, as the stars OH
the brow of evening. Good deeds will
shine as the stars of heaven.

Love.

Love is the river of life in this world.
Think not that ye know it who stand at
the little tinkling rill-the first small
fountain. Not until you have gone
through the rocky gOrges, and not lost
the stream not until you have stood at
the mountain-pass of trouble and con-
fiict: not until you have gone through
the meadow and the stream has widen
ed and deepened until fleets could ride
on its bosm not until beyond the mead
ow you have come to the unfathOmable
ocean, and poured your treasures into
its 6epths-not until then can you know
what love is. 1t is something grander
than enters into the imagination of un-
subdued men that yet all believe, earth
ly and sensuous. When two souls come
together, each seeking to magnify the
other; each in a subordinate sense, wor-
shipping the other, each helping the
other; the two flying together so that
each wing-beat of the one helps each
wing-beat Of the other-when two souls
come together thus they are lovers -
They who unitedly move together away
from grossness, and from earth, towards
the throne crystalline, and the pavement
golden, are indeed true lovers.
Father and mother, do you love each
other SO? Brother and sister, have you
christian lovee Newly come and newly
found, is this your ideal of love? Is it
some faint, hazy but beauteous dream
Is it some romance of imagined excel
lence? True love carries self-denial, la
bor-pain for another. True love pivots
On honor and respect, and respect for
another. True love thinks; true love
feels; true love strives ; true love pleases;
true love improves; true love creates in
the soul of the one loved higher life
And SO, beginning in this world, and
loving little and low, men rise up
intermediate stages, until they
touch the higher flights Old age often
sees the flame burned out; but the Goals,
that remain are warmer than the flames
were. There is no loving like that which
has taught, when that expe-
rience is ministered by the instruction
and wisdom and publication of the
HOLY GhOst.-Beecher

No Sabbath.


In "Prize Essay on the Sabbath, -
written by a journeyman printer, in
Scotland, there occurs the following
passage:
"Yoke fellow! think how the sbstrac-
tions of the Sabbath would hopelessly
enslave the working classes with whom
We are Unidentified. Think oflabor going
on in one monotonous and continuous
and eternal cycle-limbs forever on the
rack, and fingers forever playing, the
eyeballs forever straining, the brow for
ever sweating, the feet forever piodding,
the brain forever throbbing, the shoul-
der forever dropping, the loins forever
aching, and the restless mind forever
scheming.
"Think of the beauty it would efface,
of the merry-heartedness it would extin-
guish, of the giant strength it would
tame, of the resources of nature that it
would exhaust, of the aspirations it
would crush, of the sickness it weuld
breed, of the projects it would wreck, OF
the groans it would extort, Of the lives
it would immediate, and of the cherries
graves it would prematurely dig? See
them toiling and moiling, sweating and
fretting, grinding and hewing, weaving
and spinning, sowing and gathering,
moving and reaping, razing and build
ing, digging and planting, unloading
and storing. striving and strugg ling in
the garden and in the field. in the grs-
merry and in the mill, in the warehouse
and in the shop, on the mountain and in
the ditch, on the roadside and in the
woods, in the city and in the country,
on the sea and on the shore, on the
earth, in the days of brightness and
gloom. What sad picture the world
would present if we had no Sabbath. -

The Dying Millionaire.


The United States Economist and
Dry Goods Reporter-published in New
York-gives the following thrilling in
cident, in its issue of the 23d ult:
A man died recently in this city, leav-
ing $11 100000. He was member of
the Presbyterian Church, in excellent
standing, q good husband and father,
and thrifty citizen. On his death-bed,
lingering long, he suffered with great
agony of mind, and gave continual ex-
pFessions to his remorse for what his
conscience told him had been an ill-spent
life. "Oh" he exclaimed, and his
weeping friends and relations gathered
about his bed-"Oh! if 1 could only live
my years over again. Oh! if 1 could
only be spared, for few years, 1 would
give all the wealth l have amassed in a
lifetime. 1t is a life devoted to money
getting that regret. 1t is this which
weighs me down, and makes me despair
of the life hereafterr' His clergyman
endesvored to sooth him, but he turned
his face to the wall. "You have never
reproved my avaricious spirit" he said
to the minister. "You have called it a
wise economy and forethought, but
now know that riches have been only
a snare for my poor soul! / would give
all possess to have hope for my poor
sonl" In this sad state of mind, re-
fusing to be consoled, this poorrich man
bewailed a life devoted to the mere ac-
quisitiOn of riches. Many came away
from the bedside impressed with the
uselessness of such an existence as the
wealthy man had spent, adding house
to house, and dollar to dollar, util he be-
come millionaire. All knew him to
be q protesting Christian and good man
as the world goes, but the terror and re-
morse of his deathbed administered
lesson not to be lightly dismissed from
memory. He would have given all his
wealth for single hope of heaven.

BE A WOMAN.

Oft I've heard a gentle mother,
As the twilight hours began,
Pleading with a son on duty,
Urging him 10 be q man,
But unto her blue-eyed daughter,
Though with loves wor DIS quite as READY
Points she out the other duty
s.Strive, my dear, TO be LADY.
What's a ladyf Is II something
Made of hoops and silks and airs
Used TO decorate the parlor,
Like the fancy rings and chairs!
Is II one that wastes on novels
Every feeling that is human
II tits this to be a lady,
'Tis not this to be q woman
Mother. then, unto your daughter
speak of something higher iar
Than 10 be mere fashions lady

Ifyou. in your strong affection,
Urge your son to be a true man,
ITrpe your daughter no less strongly

Yes. a woman brightest model
OF that high and perfect beauty,
Where the mind and soul and body

SLOWLY, SURELY.
BY JOHN BoWRING.

I've watched and watched and seen how slowly
Great truths emancipate the mind
Even sunbeams though SO bright and holy,
A tartiy course thro' darkness ind.
And yet feel and know securely
That light will force its onward way;
And out of night bring moning surely
Morn, Frightening into perfect day.
AS from the acorn lingering ages
Are needful for the oak TO grow
Wisdom's unread, unopened pages,
Will be revealed, though late and slow.
Be not impatient! God-protected,
Unhasting, but unresisting still,
All is impelled-and all directed
By Gods eternal changeless will.

The habit of nquor-drinking is, to our mind
the most foolish, inexcusable piece of destruc-
tive nonsense in the world. And nowhere is il
more prevalent than in cities. The money
poured down the throats of men each year is
greater than the amount spent for improve
ments. Whisky-shops, saloons gin-mills, beer
cellars, Wine-rooms, and all sorts of irrational
devices and places to fool away money are
found by the hundreds and thousands in cities

There was an old decan-

gaping wide; the
rosy wine had

Its cryS-

and the wind
went humming,
humming,
up and
down the
sides it flew,
and through the
reed-like,
hollow neck
the widest notes il
blew. 1 placed it in the
window, where the blast was
blowing free; and fancied that its
pale mouth sang the queerest strains
TO me. "They tell me, puny CONQUER
