Joy in God.

Roses grow ON briers, say the wise men
of the world, with that sententious morality
which thinks to make virtue truthful by
making it dismal. Yes, but, as the very
different spirit of piety would say, it is a
truer truth than briers bloom with roses.
If roses have thorns, thorns also have roses.
This is the rule of life yet everybody tells
us one side of this truth, and nobody tells
US the other A kind hearted man finds
life full ofjoys, for he makes joys ofthings
which else were not joys; and a simple
hearted man can be very joyous on a little
joy; and to the pure hearted man all
things are joys. How can the world be an
unhappy world which has so magnificent a
God? His magnifcence is the fountain of
all our Joys, for it is the fountain of saliva
ton. Here lies the secret of the inveterate
happiness of the world Even in its fall
it is so implicated in its blessedness of God
that it has not darkness anywhere with
out its light, nor bitter without its sweet
Gods simple presence is an overlooking of
delight. His inanimate creatures have q
changeless joy stamped upon their mute
features. The multitudinous species of
unreasoning creatures. whether they be-
long to the earth, to the air, or to the wa
tiers, plainly revel in life as joy which
fills their natures to the brim. We our
selves have hundred happinesses, even
when we fancy ourselves quite desolate.-
There is no real desolation except mortal
sin. There is too much of God everywhere
to allow either ofpermanent or general IN
happiness. He who can find his joy in
God is in heaven already; only it is a
heaven which is not secured to him unless
he perseveres to the end. Yet, is it hard
to find our joys in God? Rather is it not
hard to find our JOY in anything else? The
magnifcence of God is the Astounding Joy
OF life.-Fdber.

Of all food required for the sustenance
Of man, milk is the most perfect in the va
riety and quality of its supply. 1t alone
maintains life and health for an extended
period of tine. During the last hall cen
fury the knowledge of the nature of milk
has very much increased. By experiment
it has been determined that the specific
gravity Of cows milk good is about $50,

to L042, asses 1.019, water being 1000
Food containing a large proportion Of wa

contains u per cent. of solid matter of
which per cent. are of butter. Specific
gravity is regarded as an important index.
The specific gravity of cream Is from l.0l2
to loo, and hence it would sink in water
Good milk has a specific gravity at tenn

Did Jesus Answer," Yes ?"

Mamma is talking to Jesus said little

say Yes mother ?" -, .r,a--s... f. r
When you kneel by your bedside, chill

munity demand increased accommodation. The
erection of House of Correction will have
tendency to correct the evil, but the relief win
not be near sufficient.
On the authority of the officers of the prison
il is stated that fifty per cent. of the men who
are sent to the Penitentiary go out reformed,
to fall into line as respectable citizens in their
respective stations in life. twenty-five per
cent. become prison population, and such are
again found in the prisons of this and other
States. The remainder, twenty-five per cent,
become kind of pauper population, who have
no aim or object in life but idly float around
ready for anything that may turn up These
are sometimes successful in life, and sometimes
not. Those who come on first sentences to this
prison seldom return on a recommitment while
those who are sent on a recommitment, who have
served out o first sentence in q prison of the
congregate system, are numerous. third re-
commitment is almost unknown.
With these good results, which are better
than any coDgregate system institution can
show, and with the good name which our State
has won by reason of its Pennsylvania plan of
separate confement, it would be foolish to
throw all away and begin anew by reason of a
want of funds to carry out the plan. 1t is sim
cerely hoped that our legislators will think
seriously over this matter and give it their i'm
mediate attention.
The prison is now in the best hands The
moral instructor, Mr.. John Ruth, ia o man in
every way qualified for his post. The present
warden, Mr.. Townsend, is also most efficient
officer, who has only lately been appointed to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of the
former incumbent, Mr.. John s. Holloway who
served for great number of years. Mr.. Town
send deserves great credit as well for his act of
taking the position as for what he is doing. For
twenty-four years he has been an untiring
worker as q member of, the visiting committee
of the Prison Society. He was therefore not
unacquainted with the duties which have since
been assigned him. Five months ago he received
the appointment. He was at that time in a
large and lucrative business, but from pure mo-
tives of humanity which none can gainsay he
left it to accept of the wardenship, with its
smaller pecuniary reward. With such a man in
such place it is unjust that he should be ham
pered in the carrying out of his favorite design,
with all its advantages, through want of CO.
operation by the Government.

SCOTTISH MUsIc.-In q province where
adopts claim supreme rule it would be pre-
sumption in any on-looker to define the place
occupied by the song music of Scotland, or
even to assert that it has place at all in
music, scientifically speaking. 1t is among
human anomalies that the divine gift sent to
soothe the savage breast has created the
fiercest of exterminating wars in the arena of
controversy, and those claiming absolute su-
premacy in the art have been denied the pos
session of music altogether when the test of
science has been applied. But we may at
least say that the Scottish school has done
the duty of national music in stirring the
heart of the people, and bringing a soothing
and elevating element into national charac-
ter apt to be otherwise hard and rugged. The
strength Of its influence has been shown
among the many wanderers over the world
who have found in it the most powerful
solace and enjoyment that music can confer
in the association of the past and present,
and the recall of home memories. When
the music of the people found its way into
higher social regions at home, whence it
spread abroad, the artists of the legitimate
and established schools complained bitterly
of the caprice of fashion which doomed them
to make something endurable out of the dis
cordant jargon of a rude peasantry. But the
taste has held its own now for nearly a hun
dred years, and is old enough to merge from
fashion into school. Nor was it utterly
destitute of older appreciation in high
places. Dryden, when he was dressing up
Chaucers stories in presentable modern cos
tune, says that, although the voice of their
author is not deemed harmonious to modern
audience, ''they who lived with him and
sonnet time after him thought1it musical; and
it continues SO even, in our Judgment, if COM
pared with the numbers of Lidgate and
Cover, his contemporaries. There is the
rude sweetness of Scotch tune in it, which
is natural and pleasing though not perfect"
Much conjectural matter has been written
about the origin of Scotch music, discussing
among others the question whether it was the
creation of the artistic favorites of James III,
or was brought over and naturalized by David
Rizzio. That much of it is as old, at least,
as the sixteenth century, was proved by
manuscript collection of the tunes themselves
in handwriting and notation which brought
them back close to that period.

The LAST JoURNEY.-In Spain, when a
baptised infant dies, feast is spread, and all
the neighbors round come, not to condole
with, but to congratulate the parents. "We
rejoice with you that you have child in
glory, they say; and the last, nay, the first
journey of the sinless babe is triumphant
march, the funeral a festival, the music glad.
Only the mother weeps. In Greece, the last
journey follows quickly upon death. The
next day, at dawn, the train of white-robed
priests and choristers may be seen winding
along the road toward the church. There,
dressed as in life, and having the face un-
covered, the dead lie at rest before the altar
until the moment comes when they must be
committed to the earth. 1t is in the church
that the last farewell is taken, that the last
kisses are given. What of that terrible last
journey in the cold North, where the dying
Esqumaux is built up in his snow-house and
left to draw his last breath alone Or of the
African tribe, who bury the hopelessly sick
before death-hurry them out of the world
altogether? They have been described as
taking an affectionate leave of their relatives
and performingt this burying with the consent
of the person chiefly concerned. Habit is
everything, and they are used to it; only one
fancies it must fall rather hard upon each in
dividual as it comes to his own turn.-Onee

Bound TO HAVE HIS DEER.-The Gait cont
Reporter says:-A young man named George
Mays, of luther township, recently went in
pursuit Of deer, which took refuge in a
pond. Being without firearms, the hunter
boldly jumped upon the back of the animal,
which started from the POND and took across
the fields, Mays clinging to the horns. The
deer jumped the fence, and the yoang mans
head, coming in contact with one of the
stakes, was badly cut. Falling from his seat
he grssped the deer by the hind legs and was
sgain mounted and forced his prize to the
ground, after receiving a severe cut in one
of his legs from the animals horns. Mays
received assistance from some neighbors, who
brought an axe andput an end to the struggle.
The carcass weighed 145 pounds.

which it should be conducted when law and or
