Jehial Slabs Remarks. .

The only real difference between rich
and poor that can see in the world, lies
in the trimming on the tails OF iheiT
kites.
70 the Christian, each sorrow hides a
10y, each cross crow, each loss . gain,
each curse blessing, each doubt : hope,
and fhally, each dark death. shadow is but
the portsl-screeu ;hat hung before the
light and glory Of a neveF-end'HC lnmor'
tally,
The word sees scandal, or right down
mean rascsliIy in some Of the members OF
a church, and gains one more prejudice
against II
God only sees that His ,hieshing floor
has 90, pretty full IN tha, LEGALITY. and He
has gone to work 10 sir up and ian away
Tue chaf.
EIen hater and coax women 10 becon'e
genteelly dependent, lashionably eStraVa-
CANT, unwomanly and unnatural. When
lhe transformation is complete they open
batteries Of ridicule on ulung hoops, but
,erbowl chlgnons, fictitious bust improve
ments, and GreCian bends.
MR.. BaCKBONELEss.
Nh Back kboneless is a character that
many OF us sre acquainted with.
He consulIs Ton, Dick and Harry in
u1a,leis of business, and then follows, not
the best out the last advice given. lie is
elernally getting into hot water in conse-
ouence, and each time luck has TO take a
curslnC for i, as matter Of course.
lie has no mind OF his own; no eel(-
reliance.
lie is unstable and shifting as the sands
on the ses-shore.
And when adversely comes he Ism
worth any more than an old rotten sheet
for sail in gale OF wind.
Instead of marching straight on trouble
with firm front. he crouches, and lets 1t
run over and over-w whelm bin
Because he is knocked down to-day he
thinks hs place is on his back TO morrow
and next day, and so on,
Because il rains to-day and is dismal, i,
must needs be rainy aud dismal sIWays'
He sees no silver lining TO any cloud
no riffs 10 the blue sky and sunshine be-
yond-all is dark, heavy and threatening
above and around him.
Fire never purifes such men, They are
bu, Gross and it burns them.
And, all things considered, | don't
know bat it is well enough, for il leaves
the less rubbish for energetic, live men to
stumble over.

THE BEGINNING OF EVIL.

1t was such a little thing
One slight twist OF crimson string;
But twas stealing ell the same
And the child that TOOK il knew
Tha, she told what was not true,
Just 10 screen herself from blame.
First theft and then lie
Both recorded up on high.
1t wss but llile sip,
just TASTE upon The lip;
But it lefI a longing there;
Then the measure larger grew,
And the habi, strengthened too.
Til i. would not curbing bear.
SO the demon Drink decoys /;
Soul and body bolh destroys.
1t was but one little word,
Softly spoken scarcely heard,
Uaessd g. a single breath
Bui i! dared 10 take in vain
Gods most high and holy name,
So provoking wrath and death.
Soon the lip. once fresh and fair,
Opened but 10 curse and swear.
1t was but one liuls blow.
PASSIONS sudden overflow,
Scarcely heeted in It's fall
But, once loosed, The fiery soul
Would no longer brook control.
Laws il spurned, defed them all.
Till the hands, love clssped in vain,
Wore the murderer's crimson stain.
All it's the foxes small,
Slyly climbing o'erthe wall.
That destroy The tender vines
And il is the spark OF ERE,
Frightening, growing, curling higher
That across thh forest shines.
Just SO, step by sep, does ELL,
If unchecked a triumph win.

A Mothers Death.

Few who have lost their first and dear
est friend, can read the following with
nnmoistened eyes:
Death comes an unsought guest TO ev'
cry board, and at his spectral bidding
some beloved one goes forth TO his mys-
,erlous home.
Time and philosophy may teach Eesig-
nation unto hearts made desOlaie by his
coming bu, they can never fill the va
cancy therein, when she that was our
mother no longer casts halo about our
dsrkened hearth. A mothers place 60
loved, so vorshipped-once empty must
be foreearso. a breast once panged by
a mothers death, no medicine can reach
wIh healing.
No mind, however sacred ; no heart
however hardened, can forget the gentle
being whose suffering begot his life.
A mother is truly our guardian spirit
upon earth. Her goodness shields and
projects {; she walks with our infancy,
cur youth and mature age-eVer shelter
ing Us with her absorbing love, and exPl-
siing our many ems with her blessed
prayers.
And when our mother, with oil her bur
den Of love. her angelic influence, her
sanity care, ceases her besuteous lile'
how much We lose OF home. OF happiness,
OF Heaven, no one can reckon Tor our
mother was none bul ours. and we only
can know how holy she wss-bow ss-
cred her memory must ever be.
But may We not borrow consolation
from the thought that our loss is Hesv.
enc gain; iha, surely one angel watches
over us. erssiDg with grateful fears The re.
cords Of our sin, and making easy our
path TO her, with blessed and blessing
