many weary hours nothing passed his

arose TO satisfy his hunger with por

outside in the ohasm. He felt around,
but could discover no outlet lie had
been frozen in--shut out from Gods
blessed sunshine forever? Nothing but
smooth ice methis burning and blistered
fingers. Then, after an hours search.
he found soft spot. aud instantly
solved the mystery. He knew there
must have been heavy fall Of snow in
the night, and that it had drilted into,
and blocked up the opening; aud with
the strength Of despair, he soon dug
through. 1t was still showing heavily;
the fakes fell like great feathers around;
and he drew the remnant of the carcass
Of the ibex into the cave, aud made
another rude meal And thus refreshed,
u new hope was born within him and
again the ice walls resoundcd with the
blows of his little hatchet. But il was
slow work, and much at the time was
taken up in clearing the chips from the

CHRIsTIANITy.-In regard TO that
Christianity which the world most rs-
quires to day, Bishop Huntington truly
remarks; We want Christianity that
is Christian across counters. over din
ner.tables, behind the neighbor's back,
as in his face. We want in you =
Christianity, that We can find in tho
temperance Of the meal, ia moderation
of the dress, in respect of authority, 10
amiability at home, in veracity and i'm
plicity in mixed society. Rowland Hill
used to say he would give very little for
the religion of man whose very dog
and cat were not the better for his re-
ligion. We want fewer gossippine,
slandcring, gluttoDous, pcevish, con-
ceited, bigoted Christians. To make
them effective, all public religious
measures, instructions, beneyolent ngen-
cies, missions, need to be managed on
a high toued, sorupulous and unques-
tionablo tone Of honor, without evasion,
or partisanship, or overmuch Of the SER
pent's cunning. The hand that eivcs
away the Bible must be unspotted from
the world, Tho money that sends the
missionary TO the heathsn must be hon
estly earned. In short, the arms Of the
Ckurch--justice and mercy--must ho
stretched ont, workingfor man, strength
ening the brethren, or else your faith
is vain, and you are yet in your sins.

No Little Prayers to Hear Tonight"


While at the lonely home Of Prof. f. l..
Baker, when little Clara and Louisa lay in the
sweet sleep Of death, the heart-strcken mother
made the touching remark to friend, "Pve no
little prayers to hear tonight"
Over the pictures the shadows fall,
Slowly the light fades in the West,
Under the window and garden wall,
Silly voices are whispering "restr'
Sad is the thought in the waning light
"No little prayers to hear tonight"
Voices are hushcd in the narrow street,
Children have left their haunts of play:
Round the table dear ones meet.
Gladly they welcome the close Of day;
Fondly the mother is bending there
Softly whispering the little prayer.
Precious the hour of early eve,
Folding the dear ones tn their rest.
Watching the course Of the early dream,
Moving the gentle, guilelcss breast,
Is time earth more fair and bright,
Than the hour Of the little prayer at night?
But the lips are sealed. and their rest is cold,
And they cannot hear me any more,
And strangely still is the snowy fold
That covers my cherub children O'er;
They dream no more in the cherub light,
I've no little prayers to hear tonight.
"lfI should die" says the little prayer,
80 take my soul To its happy home,
Where all is beautiful and fair"
And the answering angel now has come;
And so, in the land Of love and light,
They are singing their beautiful song to night
mothers, who list to the music wild
The songs that the merry children sing,
Who drink Of the pleasures undeiiled,
That childhood's true affection brings,
weary not, your reward is bright,
For the sweet little prayer you hear at night

But that can be done before noon.

Mother, il makes me so nervous
To think Of your step at my door;

Since rest Is the solace of life 2
Mother, do have some compassion,
And ehide my late rising no moro;
Call me when breakfast is ready,
Oh, please do not call me before.

more healthful than soft. The French
sarans, when inquiring after water for
the supply Of Paris, found that more
conscripts are rejected 10 soft water
