less apprehensive and the calmer they grew:
Having once banished hope, tranquility seemed
to descend upon them as substitute, and at
terward, if free from physical pain, there was
unrufled peace. If encouraged to believe
that they might get we'll, or if they had ia

of the former apprehension, reappeared-pro.
wing that the mental disquietude was born of
their expectation of life, not of their fear of
death. Thus was established clear analogy
between mental and spiritual anguish under the

who are badly hurt, or seriously i'll, experience
suffering in going back to life, while the down.
ward path to death, both for the body and
soul, is paved with smoothness and serenity.

SERENITY OF THE DYING.-It has so hap
pened that I have seen many men and women
die. Without design or disposition on my
part, have very many times been present
when sick persons were ebbing to eternity. l
have seen men and women, young and old,
cultivated and ignorant, orthodox and hetero.
dox, in their last moments and, as rule, all
of them pass away, if not without regret, at
least with entire resignation. None Of them
showed dread of their future. Their thoughts
were fixed on what they were quitting not on
where they were going to. I observed that
some of them were troubled, perhaps distress
ed, when they first thought they could not re-
cover, but that, the nearer the end came, the

LIFT A LITTLE.
Lifta little! lift little!
Neighbor lend a helping hand
To that heavy laden brother,
Who for weakness scarce can stand.
What to thee with thy strong muscle,
Seems light and easy load,
Is 70 him ponderous burden,
Gumbering his pilgrim road.
Lift little lift little!
Efforts give one added strength;
That which staggers him when rising,
Thou canst hold at arms full length.
Not his fault that he is feeble,
Not thy praise that thou art strong;
1t * God makes lives to differ,
Some from wailing, some from song.
Lift little lift little!
Many they who need thine aid;
Many lying on the roadside,
Il Meath misfortune's dreary shade;
Pass not by like priest and Levite,
Needless ofthy fellow-man
But, with heart and arms extended,
so Be the Good Samaritan.

FURNISH GooD READING.-One of the
pleasantest and noblest duties of the head of
the family is to furnish its members with good
reading. In times which are past it was con-
sidered enough to clothe and feed and shelter
a family. This was the sum Of parental duty.
But lately it has been discovered that wives
and children have minds, so that it becomes
necessary to educate the children and furnish
reading for the whole household. 1t has been
found out that the mind wants food as we'll as
the body, and that it wants to be sheltered
from the pitiless storms of error and vice by
the guarding and friendly roof of intelligence
and virtue. An ignorant family in our day
is an antiquated institution. 1t smells of the
musty past. 1t is dark spot which the light
of the modern sun Of intelligence has not
reached. Let good reading 60 into home,
and the very atmosphere of that home grad
ually but surely changes. The boys begin to
grow ambitious, to talk about men, books, the
past and the future. The girls begin to feel
a new life opening before them in knowledge,
duty and love. They see new fields of useful
ness and pleasure. And so the family changes,
and out from its number will grow intelligent
men and women, to fill honorable places, and
be useful members of society," Let the torch
of intelligence be lit in every household. Let
the old and the young vie with each other in
introducing new and useful topics of investi-
CATION, and in cherishing love of reading,
study and improvement

HOMEMADE CANDY.-Use a new tin ba-
sin put into it four tablespoons of water,
one pound of good coffee sugar, one teaspoon
full of good cream tartar boil, stirring con-
stantly to avoid burning. After it begins to
have soapy appearance try it often by drop
ping little in cold water, and if done it will
at once become brittle. Butter an earthen
dish and pour the hot candy into it, that it
may cool just enough to handle. Flavor to
taste with the oil of peppermint, winter-green,
sassafras or lemon. Two drops of oil will
flavor it strong. For variety, divide into three
or four part, and flavor differently by touch
ing one kind of oil to each. Work in the
hand, at once; the more it is pulled the
winter it will get.

round they are closed, and shut in the air,

he rises at once to the surface.
