/" Doctor. where is Sue 2"

1t was Ralph Someryille who asked, as
the old physician carefully dressed his
frost-bitten limbs The work was done be-
fore answer was made, and then the kind
hearted old man replied; 81 just came
from her bedside at Ncighbor Bronson's."
" How came she there ?"
The doctor looked searchingly at his pa
tient for moment, and then the shade Of
sternness relaxed from his face
"lll not scold you, young man." he
said, for your punishment must be great
enough without any help of mine"
And then he told, in simple but touching
words, how Susan had struggled through
the terrible storm of two days previous,
how she had found her husband and gone
for assistance How the neighbors had
searched for him, and found him Just in
time to save his life. He had been brought
to his own house and cared for, but the
poor wife was prostrated with brain fever
at the neighbours residence and in her de-
lirium was calling continually upon them
to go and save her husband.
There was shame in Ralphs face, but in
his heart, mingling with the penitence he
felt, was such a resolution as he had never
experienced before. 1t thrilled his entire
being with a strength Of purpose such as
comes not eften to common man.
Doctor" he said, "you must carry me
to Bronson's."
"Carry you, with your crippled fect-I
guess not"
"And guess yes. tell you, l am CO.
ing to see this wife of mine and to tell her
something. But first of all--you needn'
shake your head, for | am going-can you
write total abstinence pledge, like those |
used to laugh atP"
The doctor nodded an affirmative, and
the young man continued;
"Then draw up one while | am getting
dressed. You'll find paper in that desk by
the window and make it as strong as the
English language will admit of put in
Greek if ours doesn't cover the whole
ground"
The physician complied, though writing
temperance pledges was new branch OF
his business, and although he doubted the
expediency of taking his patient out into
the sharp frosty air.
1t was completed and signed, that COM
pact by which Ralph Somervillo pledged
his honor as man never again to taste Of
anything which could lead to intoxcation,

Great souls attract sorrows, as noun
tains do storms. But the thunder-clouds
break them, aud they thus form shelter
for the plains around
1t is an unhappy, and yet | fear a
true reflection, that they who have uncom-
mon easiness and softness of temper have
seldom very noble and nice sensations Of

The Invisible Web.

There once came to a king three villains,
who gave themselves out as great masters
Of weaving, and said they understood how
to make web Of the finest and most splon-
did kind. It, however, would be invisible
to liar or coward. This pleased the
king very much, for he thought to discover
by this means those faults which made so
much mischief and were so carefully con-
cealed. He let the three men have the u G
of some halls in his palace. They begged
he would let them be locked ia until the
work was done that he might be convinced
they did not deceive him They obtained
quantity Of gold, silver aud silk stuff, set
up their frames and seemed to be weaving
the whole day. After some time one OF
them stepped before the king aud said the
web was already done, and anything more
beautiful could not be found in the whole
world. No liar nor coward, however, could
see this. Thereupon he described what tg-
ures, flowers, fruits, trees and ornaments
they had designed, aud how all had been
executed with the most lively aud brilliant
colors. If the king would be pleased to
berlains. When he saw the masters aud
heard what they said, he dared not venture
to say that he saw nothing, but said, on his
return. that ne had seen the weaving. Even
so did a second aud third whom the king
sent and when they had all confessed the

he came into the hall he found the masters

A pnoApEn SYSTEM nroulnEp.

But we want system of broader educa-
ton for the American people in the arts OF
peace. 1t is perhaps unnecessary at pres
ent to multiply institutions for the training
of professional men, as those we have are
equal to the task of furnishing all that are
needed, and some professional supernumer-
aries not SO much needed. The great want
is a system by which each one among the
masses moy become more valuable to him
self and to society, aud more honored and
esteemed. Agriculture and mechanic arts
always lack recruits and most lack recruits
that have been drilled. Willing hands can
here always find room for boundless enter
prise. Our own artisans, however, like too
many other Americans, most esteem the
dignity of pecuniary profits and are gener-
ally supposed to be more proud of swift
work than of the skilful aud dexterous
They wear out and leave too few honored

sleep ON Your Cares.

Men of business, believe me, there
is now and then profitable venture
in doing nothing at all; in the pow
er to put business aside, and abiding
now and then in perfect quiet.
Things sometimes solve themselves,
when we give them that advantage,
which refuse to come clear for all
our trying. We all know how, by
simply taking some perplexity into
the deepest silence this side of death
"a good nights sleep-we can DO
better sometimes than If we sat up
and wrought at a task all night.
When Matthew Murray, of Leeds,
wanted TO see his way through SEINE
sore perplexity in his inventions,
and all other effort was of no use,
he rested day and night from all
noise, and all effort except the effort
an active man has to keep himself
quiet: 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 hermits, no more
afraid of them than the trees under
which they sat. And mothers, you
may care and toll necessarily for
your little ones, never resting 8 mo-
ment in your devotion; and then be-
cause you never do be quiet, but en-
ter into your closet with a little
frock to mend, you shall never be
quite able to take the whole sun
light, and sum of your motherhood
into your heart. You will be so
fun 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 ouly to the silence as an
earnest, energetic, whole-hearted
mother. Then eternal activity is
almost sure to run at last into shad-
ows.-Ro6eTt CoHye1-, IN JRdepshd-

From beautiful lake in themountain
Two rivulets came down,
With u rustic and fiutter like ribbons OF
blue
By delicate breezes blown.
Ger beds Of golden lustre
In the shadow of rock and tree,
They sang the same tunes with their silyery
tongues
And clapped their hands in glee.
Ger rocks with moses mantled
They eddied and whIrled like a Waiting
pair,
Till they hand in hand with laughter leap
They mingled their misty hair.
O'er the self-same Lodges
Singing the self-same tune,
They passed from April to breezy May
Towards the fields of June.
They whirled and danced and 0allied,
And through the meadows slid,
Till under the same thick grass and flowers
Their future course was hid.
saw two beautiful children
OF one fair neither born,
Like two young clouds of golden hue
That smile on the breast Of Morn.
The same in age and beauty,
The same In voice and size
The same bright hair upon their heads,
The same blue IN their eyes.
Singing the same song ever
In the selfsame silvery tune;
They passed from April to May,
Towards the fields of June.
They whirled and danced and dallied,
The beautiful wales amid,
Till under the same thick leaves and fiow-
ers
Their future course was hid.

No Gloom Mt Home.

Ifyou would have home happy,
make il so. The shadows Of dark
discomfort and wasting fretfulness
should never cross the threshold,
casting their large gloomy shapes
like funeral pals, over the happy.
youthful spirits assembled there
Let the lamp Of love glow brightly,
throwing its softening CLEANS upon
each happy inmate. Avoid dis
cords. Let not the yeriest trifle mar
the harmony of your quiet, loving
homes. Oh, the unwritten treas
ures this dearest spot cOntainsl-
Mans abiding rest: when heavy
care Is laid aside, the din and tur-
moil Of busy life is hushed, and
when the shadows are heightened
into twilight-then TO this fond
home can he repair with joyous
emotions OF q welcome from the
faithful partner whom God has Civ
en- him, when he beholds the soft
glimmering light illumining his
home nest, rejecting its precious
beams without. The autumn night
Is cold and eheerless; the winds are
signing sad refrains Of blight and
/ decay; desolation and dreariness are
written everywhere. This man of
toll, with wearied heart and tired
brain, perplexed and harrassed
frame and weakened spirits, is
when the family door is opened and
the clear, sweet tones Of his loved
wife, so soft, so glad, that hope like
/ an angel dWells in his bOsom-re-
freshed in heart. Why? He forgets
] ali the sore trials of the long, weary
day, and bids dull care away, as he
folds the bright angel of his house
hold to his honest arms and loving
embrace. 1t is a home where gloem
is banished; where smiles supplant
the tears; where no memory Of
wreng, of sharp, hasty words, or OF
kindly deeds omitted, is cherished
truly do the fair angels guard such
homes. We could wish every hap
by, every waiting wife, anxious
| mother and toiling father encour-
aged by loving deeds and kindly
words. Homel where the heart may
I rest and remain satisfied. Wealth a.
lone Is insufficient to make . genuine
! sweet home, IL you have not the
sunligh OF love and truth with the
ssboauty Of holiness" to keep saced
the sanctuary. The sonl may grow
in grace; the heart expand in the
pure atmosphere Of even the hum
blest home, fitting types Of the great
eternal rest prepared for those who
love God and live in obedience 10
His holy will. A Christian home is
the nucleus around which our
thoughts center; and TO woman be-
longs the prerogative of Identifying
and lending sweet influence TO our
homes.

TIE FLOWERS.

Thsre is a legend old as earth,
But beautilRl and true
Which tells as how the flowers had birth,
And wherefore came the dew.
When Eve-throsgh Satan's sore deceit
Touched the forbidden tree,
And tempted Der ''goOd man to eat.
The Lord came angrily;
And straightway turned from Eden's
bowers,
The first born sinners forth,
Away from all its smiling fowers-
Upon the barren earth.
But pirying-ere TO Heaven he passed -
His angels--brothers then
Der all the earth their footprints cast,
And hill, and vale and glen.
Sparkled with fiowers-Earth's starry
spheres;
And seldom field from view,
They strewed the flowers with plying
tears
Which of have passed for dew.
And thus, though Paradise was lost
By first Of human kind,
Their children know, though sorcly
crossed,
Gods love is left behind.

DOING GOoD.-Doyou want to do
good with out money? Then be good
to yourselves. A true and virtuQus
man necessarily exerts a good infu-
ence. When he looks, speaks, or acts
the elements OF goodness beam in
his countenance, Tor he develops the
natural language Of his soul, which
can be read by all men. Ifyou can
not be perfect, strive TO attain as
near perfection AS possible. This is
the nobiest struggle in which you
can engage, one which will elevate
you and make you fulfill the great
end of your existence. A clergyman
gives two sermons every Sabbath,
one in the morning the other In the
evening; but the man who II true TO
his higher nature breaches every day
during the entire week living SER
mon, and carries the glad tidings
wherever he goes; for action speaks
louder than words, and those who
see his goodness are stimulated TO
initiate il.
