Scatter the Brightness,

Every morning illustrates the
mission to which we are called.
Children of the light are taught
by the sun, that proves his glory
and does his appointed work. He
does not act the part of the selfish
but throws out his rays upon every
side.
How lavishly and broadly and
constantly they fall!
Touching the home of the invalid,
they dry the burning tears on faded
cheeks.
Entering the den of evil. they
bring message of better things.
The light has become a figure OF
all that is inviting.
In the world there is a plenty of
causes for sadness. Suffering has
left the prints of its iron chains
upon many weary and waiting ones.
Recollection of wrong has not
left entire comfort even to the for
given.
Rough ways disturb tender souls;
dark forests shade many traveller;
the wall echoes out of the depths
of many lives.
Emptiness, gloominess, despair
these are not so unknown, as to be
counted foreigners to earth. And
there are influences enough from
Satan and fallen human nature to
aid the darkness and the sorrow.
Be it ours to scatter the 5right-
ness!
Called to this, by one who is the
light of the world; exhorted to this,
by heroic, inspired ones who while
poor made rich; helped in this by
the spirit of all grace, which is the
Comforter; made glad for this by
the nature of work, which is heav-
emily; cheered by results already
reached that touch the skies, and
assured of better revelations of the
effects oflabor to be seen by-and- bye.
we are inspired to draw all happi-
ness into our lives and devote our
selves to the mission which COM
prises all the excellence of life
that Of spreading abroad the rap
lures of this blessed religion which
we seek to bring to childhood.
Words scatter this brightness.
They, in matter and tone, tell the
state of the heart, and how much
Jesus is doing for us, and what we
wish for the world.
How they cheer the weary, and
give strength to the faint.
They seem to be trifle at times,
but dropped in the hearts deep
well,'' the blessedness of what they
accomplish shall never end.
Teachers who find the happy art
of scattering brightness all the time,
have as much more power than
gloomy and morse teachers as a
week of influence is greater than a
half-hour of instruction.! Ii.

A Substitute.

In the time of the First Napoleon,
when a draft was made for soldiers,
one man had a substitute put in his
place. After time another draft
was made and the same man was
called again, but he said: Il am
free. / sent substitute into the
army and he was killed, so l am as
a dead man." The case was carried
to the courts of France, and it was
there decided that the man was free.
Now it seems to me that we have a
substitute in the person of Christ.
] don't know how it was in the laws
of France, but this / do know; that
in the heavenly laws, when Christ
came we were made free, for ''He
was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities;
the chastisement of our peace was
upon him, and with his stripes we
are healed" d."-AQonymOus,

An Incident.

Little Mamie, just three years old,
was dying. The last but one of six
lovely little lambs who had been
gathered into the bosom of the
Good Shepherd, safe forever safe,
from a touch of sorrow or throb
of pain. Just before, her grandfather,
a noble minister, had "passed over
the river" through the eternal gate,
and entered into his rest.
"You will soon see dear Granpa,
darling" said the fond watcher.
g You are going to heaven"
"Yes, l know" was the quick re-
ply. a too little to open the door.
/ can't reach it; but Grandpa will
open the door for mer'
All! the good Lord had already
opened the door for his own little
angel, and permitted her to catch a
glimpse of the sweet sanity face
she had loved so well, and which
now waited to welcome her homo
forever.-N. Y. Observer.

Two of the jurors on the Foster murder
trial in New York City were opposed TO
finding him guilty in the first degree, and
held out until they were smoked out by
their ten opponents. The New York Sun
tells this story;
The Jurors were all men of wives and
families, and were already heartily tired
Of their long imprisonment. They deter
mined TO make II new move to relieve the
situation. 1t was discovered that the two
obstnatcs were non-"smokists,' where

supplied q cargo of ammunition, in the
shape of twenty-five cents Havana cigars
and proposed TO
SMOKE OUT THE BEsIEGED.
All ten fell to smoking. The room was
small and badly ventilated. The opposi,
tionists were fat, heavy, short-winded men
SO that there could be but one termination
to the unequal contest. When they tried
to sleep, in order to forget their unpleas
ant position, they were rudely walked up
and mockingly told that the saving of d
mans life depended upon them, and that
they should not sleep over it; that if they
were TO be hung themselves on the NOR.
row they would not DO so much inclined
to indulge in inactive sleep. Foster fate
was trembling in the balance. As the
heavy eyelids of the men who thought to
save MIN went down, the scale of his evil
destiny went down with them. At ten
minutes before ten o'clock on Thursday
morning, while Fosters wife and little
ones were offering up fervent prayers fol
