Nothing is so pretty as TO see the engaged
folks part on Monday morning, the fowler
to 90 back to business for whole week
the ensnared to stay at the Cape counting the
days Of his absence. To sec thi. scene you
must get up at six of the clock, for it is the
early train that the young man of business must
take. The young man ip his duster, a little
dragged out, slips down with his valise, and
at the foot Of the stairs, spying the inoxora-
bic omnibus, halts minute TO let the bird
catch up to him Also little worn with
carly rising and late last evening, the bird
hops down stairs in her yellow morning plum
age and formally shakes the young man by
the hand and as he recedes and turns once
at the threshold to look back with that glance
which is the respectful yearning Of all that
he knows or hopes for it meets, already fixed,
the birds farewell, poured ont Of her eyes
like note Of melody. That look is the low.
ing solacc Of the week, the one ration on
which love must march for six days, till Sat.
urday brings another rendezvous. 1t is the
pledge, better than oath or affirmation that
neither is to be forgotten by the other al
though the true parting, as we all know, took
place elsewhere, as above stairs-perhaps in
the room Of the old bird, who graciously rs.
sentcd and lived back thirty years in the
sound Of her daughters kiss
The three fond periods Of life are the first
consciousness Of love returned, the summer
last before marriage, when all the course is
smooth, and, next, the early months Of the
first baby, when the man feels little queer
and the woman is perfectly selfpossessed
again. The woman engaged, fully and distinct.
Iy in love, is the highest type Of human fdel.
ity See this one, abandoned tc q week Of
the longest ennui possible to her nature, the
absence of her aihanced a man would perhaps
balance it by the violence of his pleasure. and
smother expectation in gayetyi like yestal
who knows not the day nor the hour when her
master cometh, the engaged woman becomes,
for her sake, the subject of her own exalted
respect Her body and soul, her walk and con.
yersation, are purer in her eyes because they
have been promised away. She draws around
herself the circle Of the solemn church, and all
society falls beyond the line but one man can
cross it. The beach, the ball the promenade
etherealize, and no longer partaken in romp
and volatility find her still higher above re-
proach each Saturday successfully, till at last,
when the season ends, and with it the last cam
pagn of her beauty, she abdicates like Zenobia,
without an accusation secret, or lament.

My little boy is dead said friend, as
we met upon the street. " We have lust
been to bury him Then with tender words.
which came so readily from the fond fathers
bleeding heart he went on to speak Of his
darling boy, his opening mind and aacctiouato
heart his last painful sickness, tne closing
scene and the vacancy Of home, now be is
gone. " But he added and as he spoke his
face lighted up with true submissive peace
" he taught me one lesson before he died"
Aud what was that" inquired. He
replied, " As my boy grew very sick the
medicine was exceedingly disagreeable to him,
so much so that he refused to take it, But
! told him he must Doctor had so ordered,
and he must. Then lifting his eyes to mine,
he said, If | drink it, will you rock me,
father, and sing to me- Yes, yes, my good
boy take il and | will With that assur-
auce, summoning all his tagging powers, he
drank the bitter draught Then laying his
burning cheek on mine, he said, Now father,
rock me, sing for me-
The lesson my dying boy taught me is
this when my Heavenly Father minges a
bitter cup, and pressing it to my lips says,
Drink it, | will obey. Then will He rock
me in His strong arms Of love- and sing to
me the precious words of His promises Oh
how sweet :"
Afflicted one, is it not a truth, a great and
blessed truth, declared in the Word Of God
and confirmed by Christian experience, that
Like as a father pitieth his children, so the
Lord pitieth them that fear Him ?" And
when the humble disciple can follow the Mas.
ter into the souls Gethsemane, and there re.
peat His words, " Oh, my Father, if thi.
cup may not pass from me except drink it
Thy will be DONE" then will He rock me in
the tender arms of His love, and sing to me
words OF promise sweeter than ever fell on

l Come as l Went.

1t was touching incident which fell under
the notice of Christian lady lately at rail-
way station. She saw a husband bear his
invalid wife in his arms from the car. As
clasping his neck she was thus borne to car
riage, she remarked to friend who stood
near, in tones of unexpected cheerfulness,
-" You see, | come as | went" Weak and
helpless she had gone, weak and helpless she
had returned but, alike in going and COM
ing, she had rested within the strong arms Of
him who loved her And is this not the daily
experience of every saint How feeble in
himself, yet how upborne of Christ With
out me ye can do nothing" says the voice of
Jesus. 81 can do all things through Christ
who strengtheneth me !" exclaims the apostle.
" When am weak, then am | strong"

BE a Man

DO not be ashamed of hard work. Work
for the best salaries or wages you can get, but
work for half price rather than be idle. BE
your own master, and do not let society OF
fashion swallow up your indiyiduality-hat
coat and boots. Do not eat up or wear out
all that you earn. Compel your selfish body
to spare something for profits saved. Be
stingy to your appetite, but merciful to others
necessities, Help others, and ask no help for
yourself. See that you are proud. Let your
pride be of the right kind, Be too proud to
be lazy too proud to give up without con-
quering every difficulty too proud to wear a
coat you cannot afford to buyi too proud to
be in company that you cannot keep up with
in expenses; too proud to lie, or steal OF
cheat too proud to be Stingy,

Following Christ personally, individual
ly' as well as collectively, is our great busi.
ness-not following Him in in a certain way
not following Him by giving services and or.
dinsnces and ceremonies; not following Him in
externals but following Him in trust, in joy,
in peace, in hope in love, in faith in the invisi.
bic. And they are the best christians who, fol-
lowing Christ thus, follow Him most closely.
