Thoughts at the funeral Of Miss Army Weeks
the Methodist Church. St. Johnsbury. Sunday. S
tcmber rs. lS70l
The hymns were sung. the prayers were said.
And, when the collins lid was raised,
The throng passed round with mufied tread
And on the dead in silence gazed.
All would that could read the thoughts
OF all who gazed upon her face
HOW much repentance was there wrought?
How many thoughts of heavenly grace?
How many passed with vacant stare
And read no lesson from the sight2
How many gazed whose dark despair.
Grew blaeker than the blackest night2
God only knows-his eye can scan
The secrets of the souls of all
That God who loves and pities man,
And will not let his sparrows fall.
All mourner as paused to gaze,
Deaths awful mystery to see,
Joyed to think that Christ was raised
ransom both for you and me.
All will we but stretch out our hand
And let Him lead as to that shore?
That brighter and that better land
Where sin and sorrow are no more.

ABSENT MINpED.-The following sto-
ry is told Of the Observation-Disclosures of a
clergyman of the church of Scotland
Ie married rather late in life, and the
marriage tour was on the continent. AT
one of the halting places, Mrs. re-
tired TO the hymenal bower in advance
of her lord. who sat for time cogitat-
ing down stairs. Presently he came to
himself, and summoned the waiter, re-
quested to be shown to his bedroom. -
He was of course, shown to the room to
which his wife had already retired. But
he had forgotten all about matrimony
and what it involved and recoiling from
the doorway in horror, turned upon the
waiter with angry upbraiding for show
ing him to bedroom already occupied
by woman One Sunday morning he
WIS dressing in his bedroom, on chair
near by, lay a tray containing half a
dozen shirts, starched with fitting cleri-
cal stiffness. He progressed leisurely in
his dressing till he came to attempt fas-
teniag his waistcoat, when he iound that
operation impossible. After many in
etiectual struggles, he called his wife to
his aid who likewise found the waistcoat
difficulty insurmountable. She was at
loss to explain the phenomenon, till
she happened to cast her eye on the shirt
tray. 1t was empty. The minister, in
absence of mind, had put on the whole
half-dozen shirts one on top of another
and it is no wonder that his waistcoat
would not button. On one occasion he
and his wife were under invitation to
dine at the mansion of the laird of the
parish. The minister bad been out for
long days work, visiting his parish
toner's, and when he came home, little
late, he found the mistress already dres-
sed and waiting. He at once went up
stairs to make his toilet, with strict in
functions, from the good lady to be
quick. He was so slow, however, that
she got impatient, and went to see what
was the cause Of the delay. Entering
the bedroom, she found the worthy man
placidly enjoying his first sleep. Hav-
ing undressed, it seems that, in his alb
sence of mind, he had taken it for grant
ed that the natural sequel was to go to
bed, and he lay, totally oblivious of the
dinner-party at the laird's.

RESPECT DUE TO WIvEs.-Do not
jest with your wife upon subject in
which there is danger of wounding her
feelings. Remember that she treasures
every word you utter Do not speak ol
great virtues in another mans wife, to re.
mind your own of fault. Do not treat
your wife with inattention in company
it touches her pride, and she will not re-
spect you more or love you better for it,
Do not reproach your wife with personal
defects, for if she has sensibilities you in.

upbraid your wife in the presence of a
third party ; the sense of your disregard
for her feelings will prevent her from &C.
knowledging her fault. Do not attempt
to entertain your wife by praising the
beauty and accomplishments of other wo-
men. If you would have pleasant
home and a cheerful wife, pass your even
ings under your own roof Be not stern
