Power In tho Hsnrt.


The zeal that God exeites within
us is often the means Of effecting the
the purpose which we desire. After
all, God does not give conversions
to eloquence, but 10 heart. The
power in the hands of Gods Spirit
for conversions is heart coming in
contact with heart. Truth from the
heart goes to the heart. This is
Gods battle-axe and weapon of war
in his crusade. He is pleased to use
the warnings, longings, and synpa-
thies of Christian men as the means
of compelling the careless to think,
| constraining the hardened TO feel,
and driving the unbslieViBg TO con.
slider. l have little confidence in
elaborate speech and polished SEN
tences as the means Ofreaehing mems
hearts, but 1 have great faith in that
simple-minded Christian woman
who must have souls converted, OF
she will weep her eyes out over
| them, and in that humble Christian
who prays day and night in secret
/ and then avails himself of every op-
! portunity TO address q loving word
! to sinners. The emotion we fee
and the affection we bear are the
most powerful instruments of soul.

Pure water the Best Drink.

There is no axiom of health more
just than that "men never have q
true appetite till they eat with relish
any ordinary food. 1t is told of
John Bales who lived TO the age of
one hundred and twenty-eight, that
his food, for most part, consisted OF
brown bread and cheese, and his
drink of water and milk. He had
buried the town of Northampton
and it is said strong drink killed
them all. Water manifestly is the
natural beverage of all animals;
whole nations, as Mohamedans and
HindoOs, use il alone as a beverage,
and, unlike other drinks, it will not
save the appetite, but the contrary;
indeed, It was observed by Hypocra-
ties, above two thousand wears ago,
that water drinkers have unusally
keen appetites. 1t is a fluid that
requires no digestion for il is not
necessary that it should undergo any
changes; 1t is essential for the
healthy functions of the body, and
what has become a refuse, after
serving its Office and attention in
the animal kingdom. Water, there
fore, from its congenial qualities,
can never much disturb the system;
and when it does, it is speedily ex-
PEELED by its natural outlets, the
skin and kidneys. 1t is told of Lord
Healthfield, so well known for his
habits of strict military decipline
and watchfulness, that his food was
vegetables, and his drink water.
never indulging himself in animal
food or wine. And Sir John Sin
clair, in his work on longevity, says,
in his account of Mary Campbell,
then aged onehundred and five, that
she preferred pure water to any
other drink.

An Atheist NonpIus,ea.

Paris was at one time as much no.
ted for its atheism as for its gayety.
A certain person, alike celebrated
for his eloqnence and for his scoffing
at everything pertaining to religion,
was, upon one occasion, annOun-
ced to deliver a discourse in de-
fense of his opinions. His fame,
as we'll as the interest manifested
in the subject, was instrumental in
bringing together vast cOncOuFse
of people.
The speaker entered upon his sub
ject with his usual eloquence and
energy. In the course of his re-
marks he exelaimed: 1--WE are told
by clergy and cantiug hypOcrites
that all infidels are harassed by fears
of an approaching future. Sirs. l
said here before you tonight a wit
ness to the falSity of the assertion:
for even l, although leader among
! those who espOuse infdel doctrines,
can proudly eXclaim, lear no
evil"
At this point, little boy, sitting
4 in one of the front seats, said in a
voice, tiny and timid, but so sOnOr-
/ GUS and di tinct as to be heard
] throughout the vast edifice: But
/ sir. YOU have never vet entered the
valley of the shadow of death"
The effect produced was electric.
The flowery orator, nOnplussed was
! hissed in disgrace from the stage,
and the little defender of Gods
word was borne triumphantIy from
/ the building upon the shoulders OF
the enthusiastic populace.-Metho-
dist.

IN THE HARVEST FIELD.

GLORY 20 Him who bids the field
It's blessings 70 our ton to yield,
who giveth much, Who giveth more,
Till store and basket runneth DER;
Thus, ere the glden skies grow din,
Come, let US sing our Harvest Hymn
His finger ON the land doth lay
It's beauty, stretching far away;
His breath doth I'LL the opal skies
With grandeur dread to mortal eyes;
He gives man harvest from the wild.
And drops the daises for the child.
But OH how shall we dare draw near:
Such power is yelled in mists Of fear,
What can we be TO One who fills
The awful silence OF the hills,
Who knows ths secrets Of the sea,
The wild beasts in the forests free?
But. Lord, we know Thee otherwise
A sighted man, with loving eyes,
Tolling along, with weary feet,
Such paths as these among the wheat;
Come from the light of Heavens throne
To call no home on earth Thine own.
o Lord, Thou givest bOunteous spoil
To the poor measure Of our toll,
For our few grey, dank sowing days
The glow Of August's evening blaze.
And what can we give for the pain
With which Thou sOwest immortal grain:
Nothiug-for all W. have is Thine,
Who need'st not corn, nor oil, nor wine;
Nothing-unless Thou make US meet
To follow Thee through tares and wheat,
And from the storm OF wrath and sin
TO help Thee bring Thy harvest in.

THE CHILD's INQUIRY.

''Earth is 50 beautiful, deas mother,

But, mother, in that distant land

The wonders OF Gods mighty throne"
"And yet how pretty are my flowers:
How sweet the Iiunet's song:
And dearer still my own pet lamb
How should leave il loBgs"
The flowers OF earth, my child, yviIl fade

her. What a merry tea it was
Little Agnes looked herself again,
sitting behind the tea urn-and her
white hands huttered ike happy
saucers. Mrs. HaFtnell and her son
had managed it all; having bought
the old house, furniture, silver, etc,
at rather an unreasonable price.
Betty, who had never left them IN
their sorrow, remained with them
in their joy, and when Agnes would
sometimes tease her about her form
er suspicious Of Harry Hartnell's
honesty, she would answer, "And

Female Taste.

a cultivated taste marks a woman
of elegance and refinement as decid-
ed as a knowledge of classical liter
ature does a geEtaenan ;,and there
- tisft iiil1t. ~ ss-i1i 4oz14aIe vufgdri-
ty is more clearly shown that in
want of taste. This is an axiom that
we think will not admit of dispute [:
but 1t Is a question how far taste is
natural, and how far it NAV be ac-
quired. A delicate taste must to a
certain extent depend upon the or
ganization of the individual and it
is impossible for any rules to be laid
down which will impart taste TO per-
sons entirely devoid oft. But Ii is
very seldom the case with women :
and it is one of the few points in
which women naturally excel men.
Men may be, and probably are, SUI
perlor TO women in all that requires
profound thought and general
knowledge, but in the arrangement
of house, the introduction Of orna-
mental furniture and articles of BIZ
joutery, there can be no doubt of
the innate superiority of women.
Every one must have remarked the
difference in the furnishing of a
bachelors house. and where lady
presides the thousand little elegan-
cies of the latter, though nothing in
themselves, adding, like ciphers,
prodigiOusly to the value of the sol
Id articles to which they are append
ed.

ant at the start, let us keep Christ
mas with them"

The days went by, and Christmas
came, bright aud cold. BY special
permission of the matrOn, Johnny
was carried into the small reception
room, and lay there stretched out on
a soft, low cot by the side of the Ia
! bic.
a tall evergreen tree stood in the
middle of the room, with plenty of
candles on the boughs; and while
the rest of the little patients were
keeping Christmas together in the
hospital wards, and finding that their
tree was very full OF presents, John
ny was down below.
Mary and little Kate. clean and
neatly dressed, were at the table with
them.-And there was the matFon
and the resident doctor, as " ell as
the two dodgers.
Some one else viii have 10 tell
YOU for l cannot, how happily that
day went by. How Johnny and his
sisters ate turkey with cranberry
sauce for the first time in their lives.
How the mince pie was particularly
good, as even the matron and doctor
declared. How they spent the whole
day telling stories and singing songs
for those three happy, cheerful faces,
whose only memories had been of
blows and of love for each other.
How the doctor clapped our young
medical student on the back aRd
told him he was a good fel-
low, sir 70 How Johnny and Mary
and Katy laughed until they cried;
and how, in the evening the big tree
was all lighted up.
So the two dodgers adopted these
children into their care that day,
and called the doctor and matron to
witness that they intended to help
them on in the world as much as
possible. And when they went
home that night, their hearts were
full of charity to all mankind, even
to the lady who played upon the pi-
ano and sang scales. And they
unanimously agreed that d Christ
mas day spent in doing good was the
happiest Kind of q celebration for
when you make others happy, you
are also happy yourself.
1t has been several years since that
time; Johnny's leg became perfect
ly well, and he was so patient during
his sickness as to win the love of all
around him.
Mary and Katie grew up to be
pretty, bright-eyed children, and
were taken from the Home into
a pleasant family. And have new
er heard that either of the two lod-
gers grudged any of the time or
money spent in getting Johnny his
situation, where he could learn to
read and write, and could go on er-
rands, or that they were of the opin-
ion that the little girls were a troub-
lie. For the more they did, the more
they saw its effect, and the more
they wanted to do. And it made
them faster friends, as well as better
men.
