A BEAUTIFUL PARADLE,-A rich young
mrn Of Rome had been suffering from severe
i!lncsI, but ut length he was cured and re-
covered his health. Then he went for the
frs! time into the garden, and trl, as if he was
newly born. Full of joy, he praised God
aloud. He turned his face up to heaven aud
said, 20, Thoa Almighty giver of all bless
sings, if human being could in any way re-
psy Thee, how willingly would give up all
ny wealth." IlcEmas, the shepherd, listened
to these words and ho said to the rich young
man, "AIl good gifts come from above. Thou
caaa't rot send anything thithcr. Come, fol.
low mc." The youth followed the pious old
man, and they Camc to q dark hovel, where
thcro was nothing but misery aud lameuta'
ton; for tho father lay sick, and the mother
wp1t, whilst the children stood around naked
aal crying for bread. Then tho young man
was shocked at tho scene Of distress But
llerrras said, "Beho!d here ~ alter for thy
sacrifice Behold here the brethe.en and
representatives Of the Lord !" The rich young
,aau thea opened his hands and gave freely
md richly to them of his wealth, and tended
the sick man. And the poor people, relieved
and com!O.,cd, blessed him, and called him an
angel Of God. ilesmas smiled and said.
Even thus turn thy grateful looks first toward
heaven, aud then to Garth"

MAZE OrugRs HArpy.-Somc men move
through life rs band OF music moves down
the street, finging out pleasure on every side
through the air to every one, far and near, who
can listen. Some men Gil tho air with their
presence and sweetness, as an orchard in Oc,o.
Der days iils the air with perfumes ofripe fruit.
Some womca Cli1g TO their own houses like
tao honcysucklc over the door, yet, like it, fill
all the region with subtle fragrance of their
goodness. How great bounty and blessing
it is, SO to hold tho royal gifts of the soul that
they shall DC music to some, and fragrance to
others, and lifeto all! 1t would bc no unworthy
thing to live for, to make the power which we
have within Us tho breath Of other mems joy;
to i'll the atmosphere which they must stand
in with q brightness which they cauno. create
for themselves.

Forget thee Ask tho violet blue,
In yondor aowcry bed,
If it iorgcts the pearly dew
That trembos on its head.
Forget theo ! ask the vespcr star
That gilds the evening skies,
If, in the blazing amplitude,
1t Ger iOrgots to rise.
Forget thee ask the bird Of flight,
With rich aud glossy wing,
If It forec,s the moorland green
OF sweet aud early spriug.
Forget thee ask the blushing rOsO
That oPes its petals fair,
If it forgcts the rain that throws
Its fragrant moisture there.
Forget thee! ask the blightcd heart,
BerGlt of every friend,
If it lOrgeis the holy spot
Where weeping willows bend.
Forge, thco ask the mother now,
With sad and fearful eyes,
If she IorCets her chcrub's brow,
So guilelcss in the skies
Forget thee ask the barping tIlrOng
That fill tic courts on high,
If they forget to sing their song
OF triumph through tho sky.
Forget thee! ask the child of light,
Wrcathcd with nDdying flowers,
If he lorgcts the wrcathIet bright,
Cu!lcd from celestial bowers.
Forget thee! l can no'or forget
4 face SO sweet as thine;
Thine image is forever set
Within this heart of mine;
Aud when meath other skies | be,
And brave the oceans foam,

Binding Grain.

The Chicago Post states that n citizen Of
Wisconsin las invented au automatic machine
that will cut, biud aud deliver grain in u
bundle, aud that this problem, which for
many years has excited deep interest among
agriuuturistS, has at last been solved. Tbe
machine in question was tried last season at
Fond du Lane, Wisconsin, on six different
farms, in order TO test its aaptabiIity to rough,
su,ooth, side.hlI aud level gruuul, aud also
to different lengths OF grain whether grassy,
tangled or well cultivated. Tho result ea>
,ablished the lact lhs. the work could be per.
iectly performed, mad the percentage of fail.
ures averaged five in the hundred, the ma,
chiuc having cut aud bound one hundred
thousand bundles. This year the sane ma
chine, with improvements, has again been on
trial uCar Wrukcsha, Wisconsin and tho re.
suits were highly satisfactory. The grain
varied in height from six feet in the most
fertile to ten inches in the poorest parts and
was cut and bound in bundles from ,dO size
Of mans body to the size of his arm, anG in
some eases mere wisps, owing to the shcTinGs3
Of the straw The butts were laid ~ smoothly
rs though cut across witt; kui!c, Gad the
percentage of failures was insignificant. Sub.
scQucu,ly tho machine was placed in FIELD Of
wheat, which it cut and bouud at tie rate Of.
fourteen acres day Tho machine i: is sta.
ted does the work perfectly, aud the grain is
harvested with the exception Of putting in
shock and stacking. The wire bands used in
tying up the bundles, are ciiicieut, aud cost
ouly thirty cents au acre.
