Poetry.
Papa's Come.

One bright and happy summer time,
When birds and blossoms filled the bowers
AS, weary at the days decline,
Isought my home to spend the hours,
Two little feet would patterlng rum,
A silvery voice shout, "Papas tam."
Bllthe as bird, our darling boy
Would gather pleasure all day long
From flower, or leaf or simple toy
Or humming whilst his mimic song,
At eve the joyful feet would run,
The gladstone voice shout, "Papa's tum."
But when the autumn-time drew on,
And frost the trees in gold had drcst,
Our little flower, alas! was gone,
BY frost of death too rudely prest,
And ceased the pattering feet to run,
The gleeful shout of ''Papa's tum"
The little limbs resting now,
The sunny head, too, is at rest,
And mother-earth with placid brow
The little form folds on her breast,
No more the blithsome feet shall run,
The silvery voice shout, "Papa's tum."
But when the day Of life is Ger,
And weary with its tolls and strife,
Oh, tell me! when at Heavens door
Iseek the rest of endless life,
Shall notI hear the welcome home,
The joyful shout Of "Papa's comet"

The THINGS THAT MAKE MEN.-Itis not
the best things Shat is, the things which
we call the best-that make men; it is not
the calm experiences Of life it is lifs's rug
ged experiences, its tempests, its trials The
discipline Of life is here good and there evil,
here trouble and there joy, here rudeness
and there smoothness, one working with the
other, and the alterations of the one and
the other which necessitate adaptions, con-
stitute part of that education which makes
man man, in distinction from an amin al
which has no education. The successful
man invariably bears on his brow the marks
of his struggles which no has had to under

A MA1DEN's PSALM OF L1FE-Tell us not

Life is real, life is earnest, single blessed

Not enjoyment and not sorrow is our des-

Life is long, and youth is fleeing, and

Trust no future, however pleasant; let

Lives of married lolks remind US we can

Such examples that another, wasting in

A CoMPARIsoN.-T farmer who refuses
to learn from the better practice Of lis
neighbors, and depends solely upon his own
personal experience, may be compared to
the little spring bubbling from the earth
always the same, while the farmer of more
enlarged mind who adopts the better prac-
tice of his neighborhood and profits by all
the Improvements around him, may be IL
kened to noble river, which is fed from
many fountains, and which bears upon its
bosom the accumulated wealth ofexperience.
Weigh well the contrast here presented,
between the narrow-minded farmer, who is
exhausting the riches of the soil which Prov
idence designed for his posterity, and the
progressive farmer whose labors are adding
millions to the products of the country.

EVERY DAY RELIGION We must come
back to our point, which is, not to urge all
of you to give yourselves up to mission
work, but to serve God more and more in
connection with your daily calling. l have
heard that woman who has mission
! makes poor wife and bad mother; this is
very possible, and at the same time very
lamentable; but the mission I would urge
is not of this sort. Dirty rooms, slatternly
gowns, and children with unwashed faces,
are swift witnesses against the sincerity of
those who keep others vineyards and neg
lect their own I have no faith in that wo-
man who talks Of grace and glory abroad
and uses no soap and water at home Let
the buttons be on the shirts, let the child
ren's socks be mend d, let the. roast-mut-
ton be done to turn, let the house be as
neat as new pin, and the home be happy
as home can be. Serve God by doing
common actions in heavenly spirit and
then, if your daily calling only leaves you
cracks and crevices of time, FIJI these up
with holy ervice.-Spmyeon.

Extravaganza.

A Young man went from New York City
to the far West, where he commenced bust
ness on his own account, and married. His
former business associates in the city we're
interested in his ''luck," and when mer-
chant of that city was about to journey to
the place where the young man had located,
he was requested just to visit the emigrant
trader. and ascertain how things were get
ting along. Accordingly, the New York
Paul Pry ascertained the wherea outs of the
young. man, and called on him quite early
in the morning. The introduction of the
New Yorker to his wife was quite off hand
and unceremonious, and he was requested to
be seated, and partake of the morning meal.
The young wife had prepared the steak, bis
cult, and coffee with her own hands, and
for table had kneading board, over which
napkin was spread, and the 'board'
placed on her lap The New Yorker de-
clined seat at the meal, and by and by took
bis leave. On making his report to his
New York friends as to how he found his
former comrade living, he described the
style as magnificent !" and for explanation
as tie superlative, be said that, "were he
owner of that young mans furniture, he
would not take ten thousand dollars for the
legs of his table 7

asked the owner whether he would sell hi

"Wlll you buy it?" asked the owner
surprised.

The Highest Flight Ever Made by
Man.

The most remarkable balloon ascension
on record was made in 1904, by Blot and
Gay-Lussac, in Paris. By this enterprise
they endowed science with series of'now
and Important facts, questionable before the
time, as they carry with them a complete
Set of suitable apparatus, and, moreover, an
unsurpassed knowledge of observation and
experiment. They assembled to a hight of
49, 600 feet, and obseryrd that at. 5000 o.
5000 feet the animals they had taken with
them, in order to observe the effect of the
rarifed air and cold upon them, did not ap
pear to suffer any inconvenience. In the
meantime the pulses OF the two experiment
! tiers were much accelerated, that of Gay
Lussac, otherwise always slow, sixty-two
beats Per minute, was eighty; and that of
Blot, naturally rapid, seventy-nine beats pei
minute, was one hundred and eleven. At
hight of II 900 feet, pigeon was liberia
ted it dropped down, whirling through the
air as if it had been stone. The air was
too thin, too much rarifed to enable it to
fly.
Three weeks later, Gay-Lussac went up
alone, and attained hight of $4,000 feet,
four and one-slxth miles, or 1000 feet high
er than the top of Chimborazo mountain
The barometer was only thirteen inches
high; the thermometer IS degrees Fahren-
helt below the freezing point, while at the
surface of tho ground it was so degrees
He left the court yard of the Conseryatoire
des Arts ct Aetters in Paris, aud after an
aerial voyage Of six hours, descended near
Rouen, one hundred miles distant The re-
suit of this ascension on Gay-Lussac's health
was very injurious, partially by the want of
air for respiration, combined with sudden
cold, but chiefly by the absence of the ac-
customed pressure. At the extreme hight
of ~, 900 feet, his face and neck we're swol-
len enormously, his eyes protruded from his
head, blood ran from his eyelids, nose and
ears. and also came from his lungs by vom-
lting; in short bis system received a shock
from which he never fully recovered during
the rest of his life
