WATCHING AT TRE WRoSa HoLEs.-
Many men are very watchful against
temptation on sides where they are in no
danger Of being tempted, Here is man
who never says ten words in day he
is silent and thoughtful; and he tells you
that he keeps a guard over his mouth;
that he is determined not to sin by talk
ing But it is not by talking that he is
apt to sin; he is not in danger on that
side and yet there is the watchman GO
ing up and down in front OF that door.
which does not open mere than once or
twice day anyhsw Here is an ugly
devil Of suspicion and envy and Jealousy
that has possession Of him and causes
him to sin; but there is no guard over
that. 1t is where their passions reside
that his temptations come, but he has no
Waterman there. lie makes up for neg
leeting the points where the danger is,by
putting all his force at the points where
there is perfect security Here is q man
that says | guard myself against
stinginess Bless his dear soul! be
never had feeling OF stinginess in all
his life His trouble has always been
loosene,s lie never could keep any,
thing Here is a man who is spend
thrift, scatterer, ne err do well, and he
says 81 am determined that will not
be q miser. There is not the slightest
danger Of 1t, in his case But how is it
with the man who is a miser? He tells
you that he has watched these spend
thrifts through life, that he has never
seen them come to any good, and that
he early took warning from them, and
determined shat whatever came, he would
not be squanderer, by over benevc
lence, of what God gave him-and he
never has been He watches himself

Tribute to Water.

Paul Denton, q Methodist preacher Ia
| Texas, advertised a barbecue, with better
liquor than is usually furnished. When
the people were assembled, desperate
in the crowd walked up to him and cried
! out
" Mr. Denton, your reverence has lied
You promised not only good barbecue,
but better liquor. Whers's the liquor7'
There, answered the preacher, in
tones of thunder; and pointing bis mo
tionless finger at spring gushing up in
two strong columns, with sound liko
shout of joy, from the bosom Of the
earth There" he repeated, with
look terrible as lightning, while his enc
my actually trembled at his feet =" there
is the liquor which God the Eternal
srews for all his children. Not in the
simmering still, over smoky fires, checked
with poisonous gases, surrounded with
stencil Of sekening odors and corrup-
tions, doth your Father in Heaven pre-
pore the precious essence Of liie--pu-e,
cold water but in the green glade aud
grasscy dell, whero the red deer wandcrs
and the child loves to play. There God
brews it and down, low down in tho
deepest valleys, where the fountain mur-
murs aud the rills sing; and high upon
the mountain tops,,wherc the naksdgranite
glitters like gold in the sun, where the
storm cloud broods AMI the thunder
storms crash; and Tar out on the wide,
wild sea where the hurricane howls
music, and the big wave rolls the chorus,
sweeping the march of God--there hs
brews it, that beverage Of liie-health
giving water,
"And everywhere il is thing of life
and beauty cleaning in the dew drop;
singing in the summer rain; shining in
the ice gem, till the trees seem turned to
living jewels; spreading u golden veil
over the sun, or white ga,lze around
the midnight moon sporting in the gla-
cier, folding its bright snow curtain soft
~ about the wintry world and weaving
the many colored bow, whose warp is the
raindrops Of earth, whose roof is the
sunbeam of Heaven, all checked over
with the mystc hand Of rcfraction
Still it is beautiful---that blessed life
water? No poisonous bubbles are on
its brink its foam brings not madness
and murder, no blood stains its liquid
glass pale widows and starving orphans
weep not burning tears in its depths no
drunkard's shrinking ghost from the
grave, curses it in the world Of eternal
despair Speak out, my friends! Would
you exchange it for the demons drink,
