BEAUTY.

Beautiful faces they that wear
The light of pleasant spirit there,
1t matters little if dark or fair.
Beautiful hands are they that do,
The work of the noble, good and true,
Busy, for them the long day through.
Beautiful feet ara they that go
Swiftly to Tighten another's woe,
Through summers heat or winter'ssnow
Beautiful children, if rich or poor,
Who walk the pathways sweet and pure,
That lead to the mansions strong and sure,

BGy- When the evening comes, when
you have done with the duties Of the day
the body wearied and the mind jaded
when the world is shut out by the shad-
ows of night, when you come to look
back and review the day, when you see
how many imperfections still cluster
around you how many sins stare you In
the face, how little you have done for
yourself, or for others, or for God the day
past, then is the hour for prayer. 1t will
be sweet to feel that you have One who
will forgive you, if you are penitent and
ask in the name of Jesus Christ; ono
who will accept your evening sacrifice
and give you strength for the morrow,
and grid you with righteouness. This
hour, if rightly improved, will be ike
the cheering countenance of most be-
loved friend Take care that nothing
comes between you and this hour devoted
to God.

A Dog Story.

" United States Navy, had a double
nosed pointer dog of which he Dragged
good deal, and for which he would have
refused larger sum than was ever offer
ed for dog since the or Jation of the
world. But he is dead now-not Com
modore Scudder, but the dog. Like the
famous hound Gelert, he died martyr to
his high sense Of honor. The Commo-
dore told me the story:
Il went out hunting partridges one
day." he said, " and took the dog along
We hadn't much luck at first, but after
awhile Buster-that was the dogs name
stood. and pointed at a convey of the
finest birds | ever saw in all my born
days. They were squatting down in the
low grass, a dozen yards off, in plain
sight, aud determined to fire at them as
they lay. lifted my gun, took deiber-
ate aim, and would have killed dozen at
least; but before could pull the trigger
u courier dashed up with dispatch
which he said required immediate atton-
ton
I reserved my fire and read the dis
patch. 1t was an order from the Navy
Department to proceed, without mo-
ments delay, to Philadelphia, to take
command Of a squadron which was about
to sail to the MEDITERRANEAN. [ was SO
much excited you understand, that |
laid down my gun right on the spot, and
went off, leaving Buster there pointing at
those birds like they were North Stars
and he was a mariners compass, so to
speak, | forgot all about him; but he
was faithful dog, Buster was-and, like
Casibianca, he wouldn't have left even a
burning ship without my orders.
Well, | went to the Mediterranean and
cruised around for three years, having a
first rate time. When | returned, at the
end of the cruise, it occurred to me, as
stepped ashore III Philadelphia, to go out
and see how things were at the place
where | went cunning. John and went
and the first thing | came across was
my gun, lying there with the barrel cov-
cred with rust and broken clean off
the rotten stock. But what was my sur
prise, upon going few PAGES further to
find the skeleton of that heroic, double
nosed pointer, standing up just where |
had left the dog three years before! He
had never budged an inch, Mr. Quill, not
single solitary inch, that double-nosed
pointer hadn't; but he had stood there
and pointed at those birds, until he had
perished in his tracks Well sir, after
shedding tear over my departed friend,
| went few yards ahead, and, there acere
the Skcletons Of those partr'dyeS ! l regard
this as the most extraordinary circum-
stance that ever came under my observa-
ton; but if any man presumes to doubt
my word, I'll shoot him on the spot

Gods Method Of Helpings

God did not take up the three Hebrews
out of the furnace of fire, but he came
down and walked with them in it. He
did not remove Daniel from the den of
lions he sent his angel to close the
mouths of the beasts He did not, in
answer to the prayer of Paul, remove the
thorn in the flesh, but he gave him a
suf6ciency of grace to sustain him.
