SLANDER. 1t seems little thing to Sian
der our neighbor; to repeat ali the harm We
have heard of him, TO whisper away repu-
t;.tion, and stab him in the dark Yet it is
great matter to him. though Il small thing
to US. We can never know the amount Of
repeating all the harm of hirn that we have
heard. The human heart is prone to SIAN
der, and we should watch ourselves careful
ly when we find that we are about to speak
Of our neighbors. We heard a lady once
say, Il make it a rule never TO repeat any
thing bad that hear of another | am re-
solved that | viii never take part in injuring
any one. What wise resolyc Would
that all made it the golden rule of their
life. How much misery wonid be spared,
how much more kindly would be cur inter
course with each other. Why, the world
would be like Eden without the serpent.
But instead of hiding the evil that We have
heard, how eagerly we spread it; how we
gloat over the story; how glad we are to
pour 1t into the ears which open so gladly
to receive it. Deprive US of all that great
staple Of conversation, SANDER and some of
rs would be at loss what 20 talk about.
Would that we were only as anxious to tell
the good We know of our acguaiBtauceS as
VIC are to tell the bad what charming
thing society really would be. There are
people to whom SANDER is the very breath
Of their life; social spiders, bideous aud
veDomous in secret, and in darkness they
weave their webs OF distraction. They are a
curse to society, canker to their friends,
and a disgrace TO themselves.

The law of nature is, that certain guam
tity of work is necessary to produce GER
tain quantity of good, OF any kind whatever
Ii you want knowledge, you must toll for it !;
and il pleasure, you must toll for it. But
men do not acknowledge this law. or strive
to evade it, hoping to get their knowledge
and food and pleasure for nothing and in
this effort they either fail of getting them,
and remain ignorant and miserable, or they
obtain them by making other men work for
their benefit; and then they are tyrants and
robbers. Yes, and worse than robbers.
am not one who in the least doubts or dis
putes the progress of this century in many
things useful to mankind but it seems to
me a very dark sign respecting US that we
look with so much Indifference upon dishen-
esty and cruelty in the pursuit Of wealth.
In the days of Nebuchadnezzar it was only
the feet that were part of iron and part of
C ay; but many of us are now getting so
cruel in our avarice, that it seems as If, in
US the heart were part of iron and part Of
cav.

Many ma1 is rich without money.
Thousands of men with nothing in their
pockets are rich. A man born with good
heart and good limbs, and pretty good
head piece is rich. Good bones are better
than gold, tough muscles than silver, and
nerves that flash fire and energy at every
furction, are better than houses and lands.
1t is better than landed estate to have had
the right kind of father and mother. Good
breeds exist among men as readily as among
herds and horses Education may do much
to check the tendencies or to develop good
ones, but it is a good thing to inherit the
right proportion OF faculties to start.

BEYOND THE SUNSET.

Shadows DER the vale are creeping,
And the sun sinks to his rest,
Twilight draws her curtains softly,
Golden clouds hang in the west.
flushed the noise of busy labor,
Toll has sought its wontei rest;
Whispering trees and murmuring streamlets
Sweetly soothe each troubled breast.
Time is ieeting and I'rn drawing
Near the sunset of my life;
Soon will end my weary journey
Soon will cease all toll and strife,
Shadows DER my path are falling,
Earthly visions fade away;
Voices soft and sweet, are telling
0fand endless, orient day.
Der the misty mountain hastens
One I've waited long to see;
Soft az mig ght-dew falls on meadows,
His kind bidding Come TO me-
Lol the purple light of evening,
Stealing gently up the sky.
Bears its wings to meet him,
Is this death lis sweet To die!
Jesus calls me, ana I m going
Where the shadows never come;
Now the desert lies behind me,
And | hasten to nay homc-
To my home beyoni the sunset,
Far beyond the day 5 decline,
Where the glory is unfading,
Where the golden portals shine.
