Interesting Case of Conscience.

In 1866 merchant received through the
post Office letter, written in a disguised
hand, as follows;

stole, and am anxious to pay. hope
to toll you of it personally some day. In

to discover me. send one dollar now; il

The merchant replied as requested. Every
week from that date an envelope was received
through the mail enclosing ten dollars, with
no other writing but the number of the pay.

Christ as u Guest.

We often indulge the wish that we could
have lived in the days Of Christ, have seen
Him and listened to Him, and we are vain
enough to think We should have been meek
and owy disciples and received His teachings
with willing hearts. But human nature is
the same now as then, and we should have no
reason to believe that we would have been any
better than the Jews 1t is to be feared that
were Christ now on earth He would meet
with but cold reception from many who
claim Him as their friend. Are our homes
such as lie would enioy9 Should we really
wish Him a member Of our households
Did you ever try to imagine Jesus Christ
guest in your house, as He used TO be in
the house Of Mary and Martha and Lazarus
Did you ever think Of Him as entering your
doorway with a pleasant word of greeting,
taking your profered seat, and gathering the
happy group Of little ones, who know and
love Him dearly about Him; placing the
youngest on His knee, and folding his arms
around them all2 Did you ever think Of
Him as sitting down at your table aud partak-
ing Of your fare, interesting Himself in all
the little pursuits that rightly demand your
attention, and sweetly drawing your mind
through them, up to the hand that overrules
even the most triAing concerns Would you
ike to have Jesus thus make one Of your
number at all times Would it be exactly
agreeable to have Him by your side ssme
morning when your affairs had been particu-
larly entangled, when your servants had been
especially provoking or your business plans
thwarted Would you be willing to 60 on
with your accustomed conversation in the
home circle giving religion only the place it
usually occupies
Would it be such conversation as Jesus
would join in with pleasure Would you
like to have Jesus Christ stand by your side
all day in your place Of business, noting your
thoughts as well as your words while you are
dealing with others Are you willing he
should know precisely how much of His money
you spend for His cause, and how much goes
to idle adornings, which He has bid you avoid
Would you like to ask your Lord to 90 with
you to the social party, and make one of the
throng Of merry makers? Are you quite
sure it would be congenal to His tastes and
feelings?
Oh, remember that Christ is there with
you whether you realize it or not. Ia the
house and by the way, lie is always at your
right hand, and how should this thought cause
US to order our daily lives that He may not
" be greyed in the house of His friends -

MEASURING THE MANY.


We measured the riotous baby
Against the cottage wall
A lily grew at the threshold,
And the boy was Just as tall
A royal tiger lily,
With spots Of purple and gold,
And heart like a iewolcd chalice,
The fragrant dew TO hold
without, the bluubirds whlstlcd
High up In the old roof trees
And to and fro at the window
The rod rose rocked her bees
And the wee pink fists Of the baby
We're never o moment still
Snatching Mt shine and shadow
That danced on the lattice-sill
Ills eyes we're wide as blue-hells-
Ills mouth like a flower unhlOwn-
Two little bare feet like funny white mice,
peepcd out from his snowy gown
And we thought with o thrill Of rapture,
That yet had a touch Of pain
When June rolls around with her roses,

Through tears that fell like a bitter rain
We measured the boy to-day
Aud the little bare feet, that were dimpled,
And sweet as a budding rose.

In the hush Of long repose
Up from the dainty pillow,
White as the risen dawn,
The fair little face lay smiling,
With the light of heaven thereon
And the dear little hands, like ruse-lcnfc-
Dropped from a rose, lay still,
Never TO snatch at the sunshine

We measured the sleeping baby
With ribbons a. white a. snow

And out Of the dhrkcned chamber

The work day week has cast iis yoke
Of tr0nhlous toll and careful quest
Tho lingering twillghts saffron cloak
Trails 0'er the dusky West
And curiew clocks, with measured stroke,
Chime IN the eve u rest.
From fll0w folds and woody dolls
The crickcts chirp their pleasant lays
The klno come up, with tInkling bells.
Through all tho ioamy ways
And buckets drip hy busy wells
And ruddy inglcs blaze.
His whirling wheel the miller stops
The smith hlH silcnt anvil leaves
His ringing Ak the Joiner drops
No more the weaver weavcs
He loaded vain the pcddler props
Beneath the tavern caves
A happy hush. Tranquil balm.
Aslf The week day cafk and care
Were lined Of, and left as calm,
Porvadcs tho quiet air
a sense AZ Of slont psalm
feeling as Of prayer.
For now the night, with son DELAY.
Seems bruodug Ike tender dove,
While The last hours of Saturday
shut In the homes of love.
And the sweet sabbath spans tht was

And out Of earthly pain and woe
Pew days Of Sabbath rest

When the tide has been coming in |
have often seen how it chafed and fretted,
running into some narrow-mouthed bay, filling
it, swerling round, and tapping up on the
shores, till by-and-by, still flowing and fOw-
ing and flowing, it filled the bay full--the
tide had spent itself, there ran a smoothing
ripple all over the surface, and the whole bay
at last was at rest And so the soul, while
yet it is being filled, is disturbed by ripples
and eddies but by-and-by, when it shall
have been filled full Of the power and pres.
ence of God, it will be satisfied, and will be
perfectly at peace, and will be full of joy
and singing forever will be its sweet employ
ment in Heaven. -Beecher.

No man can be on both sides of the line
at the same moment. 4" He that is not for
me is against me-" Because a man takes his
seat at the communion table half dozen
times IN year, it is no proof that he is on
the Lords sldei for through all the rest of
the year he may be living on the side of world
liness and seli-indulgence. "One swallow
does not make summer" The church men,
Der who is quick to accept every invitation to
evening socialities, and yet is almost never
seen at prayer meeting, cannot certainly be
on the Lords side. The chuch member who
lives in luxury at the expense of Christ's
treasury, certainly is not on the Lords side.

he comes to supper, Why, lass, there's one

He starts in search Of him. BY and by he
sees the footmarks All yonder he is But
now he has to mind where he treads he has
to make a spring now and then over some
-oggy place and the land is all sopping
wet But he sees the track of the wanderer I;
and now he hears Ba-a :" and the great
soft eyes Of the creature stare up at him from
the quagmire as if to say, " o master, help
me out ~ He takes him up and puts him
over his shoulders and the black mud drips
down his jacket but he doesn't mind that
At last, be comes TO the brook that skirts his
orchard and then he washes all the filth
away, and the poor thing trots into the fold
with happy bleat, as if to say, " Thank
you, sir :" Now, that's how Jesus fetches
back his wanderer only he doesn't put him
across his shoulders He puts him into his
bosom and then he takes and washes him in the
fountain filled with his own precious blood.
That's what he did for me eight years ago,
And that's what he is ready to do for you
