SLEEP on YOUR CARES.

Men of business, believe me, there is
now and then profitable venture IN 90
inc nothing at all. In the power to put
business aside, and abiding now ana then
in nerfect ouiet. Things sometimes soiee
themselves, when we give them that adj
vantage which refuses to come clear OF all
our trying. We all know how, by simply
taking some perplexity into the deepest
silence this side of death--a good night 5
sleep--we can do better sometimes than
if we sat up and wrought at q task all
night.
When Matthew Murray, OF Leeds,
wanted to see his way through some sore
perpleyity in his inventions. and all olher
effort was of no use, he rested day. ana
nirht from all noise, and all effort except
the effort an active man has to keep HIM
self ouiet; and then the thing he wanted
would steal in and look at him and light
on him. and stay as birds used to light on
the old hermts. no more afraid of them
than the trees under which they sat. And
mothers, You may care and toll incessant-
IL for your little ones, never resting mo-
ment in your devotion; and then, because
YOU never do be quiet, but enter into your
closet with little frock TO mend, you
shall never be quite able to take the whole
sunlight and sum of your motherhood in
to your heart You win be SO full of care
about the bread that perishes as to miss
the bread that cometh down from heaven.
No person in the world needs so much
now and then to be still, and open her
soul to the silence, as an earnest, energet-
ic, whole-heartod mother. Then eternal
activity is almost sure TO run at last into
shadows.-Robert Golfer, in Independent.
