and accidental manner. He was en-
deavoring to extract bullet from rife

and was examining it when the powder

strange that yon asked me such .
question:" .
sTf YOU would only tell me 50
now and then, Andrew, II would
do me good" And Mrs. Lee arosey
and leaning her face agsinst the
manly breast of her husband, stood
What a strong light broke in upon
the mind of Andrew Lee. He had
never given TO his faithful wife even
the small reward Of praise for all
the loving interest she had manifes-
ted daily, until doubt Of his love had
entered her soul, and made the
light around her thick darkness
No wonder that her face grew clOu-
ded, nor that what he considered
rnoodiness and ill-nature took pos
session Of her spirit.
ssYou are good and true, Mary
Nv own dear wife. l am proud OF
you-Ilove you-and nay nrst desire

could always see your face IN san
shi1.e. ny homn would be the dear
est place en- earth. I"
frldow precious 20 ne are your
words of1oTe and praise, Andrew,
said Mrs Lee, smiling up through
her tears into his gace. with them
in my ears, my heart can never lie
in shadow
How easy had been the work for
Andrew Lee. He had swept his
hand across the cloudy horizon OF
his home, and now the bright sun
shine was streaming dowBs and
aooding that home with JOY and
beauty.

We are ALI sinners.

There Is no man that lives who does
NOT sin. There is no man who lives
that cannot be made to sin. All
men cannot be made to sin in the
same way. Some men cannot be made
to sin by meat and drink. Others
can. And of those who cannot be
made to sin by meat and drink,
some can be made to sin by tempta-
tions of money. There is many and
many a man whose morals are pure
enough, but whose avarice is as q
furnace of fire; and he might be
made to sin there. He might not at
one, two or three degrees. Some
are fusible at a low temperature,
like lead, and require the compound
blow-pipe to fuse them: but there is
no man who cannot be fused at some
point. Some may be warped by
their sympathies and affections who
could mot by their pride. But
though one might not be toPpled
over by pride, he might by vanity,
And though one might not be made
| to yield by vanity, he might be led
/ into compliance by benevolence and
gentleness and good will. Some
men can be overcome in one way
and some in another. Somewhere
or other there is joint in the har
ness through which the arrow could
90. The Implication is that every
man is temptable, and that no man
being tempted, has power TO cur,
himself.-R. W. Beecher.

WOmAN'S LOVE.
BY JOHN HAY.

BY JOHN HAY.
A sentinel angel, sitting high il glory,
Hear this shriIl wall ring out from purga-
tory:
ssHaye mercy, mighty angel! hear my story.
81 loved, and. blind with passionate love, l
fell;
Love brought me down to death, and death
to hell;
For God Is just, and death for sin is well.
81 do not rage against his high decree,
Nor for myself to ask that grace shall be,
But for my love on earth, who mourns Tor
me.
"Great spirit, let me see my love again,
And comfort him one hour, and were
fain
To pay thousand years Of FIRE and pain.
Then said the plying angel: "Nay, re-
That wild vow. Look the diaLfnger
bent
Down to the last hour Of thy punishment"
But still she walled. 81 pray thee let me
go;
can not rise to peace and leave him so }!
On, let me soothe him in his better woe"
The brazen gates ground sullenly sjar,
And upward, joyous, like rising star
She rose, and vanished in the ether far.
But soon adown the dying sunset sailing,
And like wounded bird her piniOns trail
ing,
She futtered back with broken-hearted
wailing.
She sobbed: 81 found him by the summer
Reclined, his head a maiden's knee;
She curled his hair and kissed. Woe is
meT'
She wept: "Now let my punishment begin
1 have been found foolish. Let me in
TIE expiate my sorrow and my sin."
The angel anwered 'Nay, sad soul &c

BY A. 5. JONAS.
Representing nothing on Gods earth now,
Nor in the waIters below it,
As pledge OF a nation that's dead and
gone,
Keep it, dear friend, and show il.
Show it to those who viii lend an ear
To the tale that this paper can tell.
or liberty born OF a patriots dream,
OF stOrm-cradled nation that fell.
Too poor to possess the precious ores
And too much Of a stranger to borrow,
We issue to-day our promise to pay,
And hoped 10 redeem it tomorrow.
The days rolled by, and days became years
But our Golfers were empty still;
Coin was so scarce that the Treasurer quak-
II dollar should drop in the bill.
But the faith that was in Us was strong in
deed,
And our poverty well We diserned;
And these little bills represented the pay
That our suffering veterans earned.
We knew it had hardly value In gold,
Yet as gold the soldiers received it,
IL gave on its face promise to pay,
And each patriot soldier believed it.
Our boys little thought Of price or pay,
Or Of bills that were overdue;
They knew ifit brought them their bread
to-day,
Twas the best their poor country could do
Then keep it-It tells our history over
From the birth OF the dream to its last
Glorious and born Of The angel Hope,
Like our hope Of SUCCESS 1T passed.
