Let Us Help One Another.

This little sentence should be writ
ten on every heart and stamped on
every memory. 1t should be the
Golden Rule practiced not only in
every household, but throughout the
world. By helping one another, we
not only remove thorns from the path
way, and anxiety from the mind, but
we feel p sense Of pleasure in our
own hearts, knowing we are doing a
duty to fellow creature. A help
ing hand. or an encouraging word is
no loss to us, yet tits beneftto 9th
ers. Who has notheeded the aid and
encouragement Of q kind friend? How
soothing when perplexed with some
task that is mysterious and burden
some, to feel a gentle hand on your
shoulder, and to hear kind voice
whispering DO not be discouraged;
I see your trouble; let me help you.
What strength is inspired what
hope created what sweet gratitude
is feltl and the great difficulty is

fifth of the weight in drivers, and is
measured by the friction of iron upon
iron, but the friction of wood on
wood is fifty per cent, and that Of
rubber on wood is probably greater ;
consequently rubber-tir locomotives
could ascend much higher inclina-

railroads, theslimit of which is about

Said wooden railways, operated
either by locomotive or animal power,
may become very important agencies
in promoting the settlement of locali-
ties not supplied with railroad facli-
ties and in developing mineral and
agricultural resources.
In the last number of Van Nos
trand's Magazine, July, there is
statement that more than 100 miles
of wooden railroads are in operation
in Canada, in the province Of a@uebec
alone. That the gauge is 4 feet, ,,8@
inches, the running time about l6
miles per hour; but that trains have
been run at the rate Of s. miles per
hour. The cars have four wheels
some of the engines weigh 30 tons.
These rails were Of sawed timber
laid on cross-ties and if such roads
run with cars and engines with iron
wheels at speeds Of l6 to IS miles;
per hour, and engines of 30 tons have
proved so serviceable that their use
is extending, there can be no room to
question the SUCCESS of the system
here proposed, of solid rails perma-
nently bedded, wooden wheels, light
engines with rubber tires, and mod
crate speeds.

GUARD WELL THY LIPS.
BY MISS ELLIOTT.

"He that keepeth his mouth keepeth
his life. Prov. xiii, 8.
Guard we'll thy lips; none, none can know
What evils from the tongue may flow;
What guilt, what grief, may be incurred,
BY one incautious, hasty word.
Be "slow to speak :" look we'll within,
To check what there may lead to sin;
And pray increasingly for aid,
Lest unawares thou be betrayed.
"Condemn not, Judge not''-not to man
Is given his brothers faults to sean;
One task is thine, and one alone,
To search out and suRdue thine own.
Indulge no omurmurings; oh, restrain
Those lips so ready to complain! -
And if they can be numbered, count
Of one days mercies the amount.
Shun vain discussions, trifling themes;
Dwell not on earthly hopes or schemes;
Let words of wisdom, neekness, love,
Thy hearts true renovation prove.
Set God before thee; every word
Thy lips pronounce by Him is heard;
Oh, couldst thou realize this thought,
Whatcare, whatcaution, would betaught!
Think on thy parting hour; ere long
The apprJaeh of death may chain thy
tongue,
And powerless all attempts be found,
To articulate one meaning sound.
"The time is short'-this day may be
The very last assigned to thee:
So speak, that shouldst thou ne'er speak
more,
Thou mayst not this days words deplore.
