"IF WE woULD."

If We would check the speaker,
When he spOils neighbOr's fame;
If We would but help the erring,
Ere We utter words of blame
If We would, how many might we
Turn from paths of sin aud shame
All the wrongs that might be righted,
1t We would but see the way
Ah the pains that might be frightened,
Every hour aud every day:
If We would but hear the pleadings
Of the hearts that go astray.
Let US step outside the stronghold
OF our selfshncss aud pride;
Let us lift our fainting brothers,
Let us strengthen ere we chide;
Let u.s., ere we blame the fallen,
Hold light to cheer and guide.
Ah how blessed-ah how blessed
Earth would be if We would try
Thus to aid aud right the weaker,
Thus to check each brothers sigh;
Thus to walk in duty's pathway
To our better life on high.
In each life, however lOwly,
There are seeds of mighty good
Still, we shrink from souls appealing
With a timid, IF we could :"
But God, who judgeth all things,
Knows the truth is, at we would"

SECURE a HoME.-A man with family
should own the house in which he lives. if it
be IN his power to make such an acquisition.
When a workingman owns his home he feels
more confident, more cheerful, and much hap.
pier in the midst of all worldly trials than he
Wou d or could feel without so substantial an
anchorage, so to speak, for his purposes, aims,
resolutions, affections and aspirations. Bonds
bearing gold interest, and well secured, are all
good IN their way. But home is that most
assuring bond to the head of 4 family. and the
love- and hope, and trust. of which it will be.
come the centre, will under the blessing of
heaven, yield golden fruit through all the
future years they spend ON earth.

was badly kept aud 10 bad repair, pointing out
that the rain evidently came through the roof,
and adding, with some warmth, an expression
which be was horriied in finding in the Iocal
paper next day reported thus; 81 shall not
visit this d-d old church again till il is in
better order" The bishops Secretary there.
upon wrote, mildly suggesting that what bis
lOrdsbip said was that he would not visit ssthis
damp old church again" But the editor, In
a foot note, said that while gladly giving pub.

young hopes aud dreams, and statesmen even
have tuEdened 1t with thoughts OF empire.
But who would expect TO fiud hidden away in

letter. IL was stuck iu i cbiuk Of the Mas.

ser'P'ion Is that OF young lady in Northern
S'ate. he letter after accounting for years
absence and silence, says:
"And now you hear from me in a prison.
the consort OF tclons, doomed to a ielon's death,
Instead OF bridegroom you receive this sad
messenger Of disgrace-the wayward Offering
OF a heart that loved you well, but. alas was
too closely welded to evil for your virtue and
beauty to redeem it. One lock Of nv hair I
enclose you. Put it over your heart. tha,
even when dead this little remnant Of exist.

be the poor girl yet waits the coming of her
lover, and keeping all the years of absence
true to her girlhood's dream Of passion and
romance. Perhaps she is marricd-Who can
tell; and the old love Of twenty years AGO
has only memory. Anyway, none can tell
whether for good or evil that wayward letter
bearing on Its sere and yellow pages the feI,
