FRAGRANT FLOwERS.-Some lives, like
flowers, are fair but not fragrant. We love
to look at them, but do not care to hold
them. Others there are, sweet, gladdening,
but with less of outward perfection, yet we
have them near us always. Why is it that
so many Christians work with sad, discour-
aged hearts because they do not receive the
wages they ask? Why must the patient
work of one be all taken apart and put to-
gether again by another, seemingly less skill
full, who will give the work less symmetry,
though it is done more firmly, and more
nearly resembles Gods pattern than before ?
The Christian often asks, why? p and, while
waiting the answer, is tempted to say, "God
has forgotten" But God does not forget.
He fashioned the skillful fingers that they
might do loving charity-wOrk as well as fine
paid-fOr labor. He made the busy feet
strong that they might run on loving errands
to the poor who can give no recompense but
thanks. And the ready, earnest heart that
asks" May 1 do this for thee, Lord?" not
''NIust do it?" has its blessed reward mo-
ment by Christian at Work.

All boys love Natural History, Mechanics
and Physical Science, Travels and History.
The past ages of the Church, her fathers
and conference.-the labor of such men as
Judson, Spoke, Burton and Livingstone,
will have far more solid claims on any SEN
sible child's intelligence and admiration than
the present heroes of our Sunday School
libraries, who are almost without exception
unpiquant as butter biscuit, without its
harmlessness.- Working Church.

THAT THE EDINBURGH REVIEW should
discuss the matter of Drunk Absti.
nence, and restraint, " is something new under
the sun and worthy therefore of remark
The extension of the drink trade" the
writer argues "bringS nothing but misfor-
tune" 1.-THE prevalence of intoxication is
found to increase in the direct ratio of the
number of public houses" "The people
of this country are spending in drink hun
dren millions sterling year." 1.-The ques-
ton now is, what is to be done to stop this
evil of drunkenness?". mo statesman will
ever again declare free trade in liquor F"
There can be no doubt that for one tippler
who drinks at home, hundred are ruined
at the bar of the public house" "In bring.
ing to close these observations upon drunk
enness, we cannot but feel that the subject
demands the earnest and ,thoughtful consid.
Grafton of al classes IA the community"
Such are few sentences from this able
article. We call attention to the last one
All classes of the community should consider
this subject. Are Christian ministers and
laymen doing their duty in letting it alone !?
Can there not be enough thought bestowed
on this subject to induce the different legis-
Iatures to forbid the sale of Intoxicating
liquor, to be drunk on the premises? With
such a law, in twenty years, intemperance
would almost cease.

No MATTER IN WHAT WAY.-"TwO con-
fe8sors of Christ, during the reign of King
Henry VIII, were threatened with death
by the Lord Mayor of London. He told
them unless they gave up what he considered
their errors, he would tie them in bag and
have them thrown into the Thames. They
replied: My lord, we are going to heaven,
and it matters very little whether we go
there by land or water. .
WHAT IS FAITH?-"A poor little wild
Irish boy, taught in a mis8iOn-school, was
asked what was meant by saving faith. He

OLD AND NEW.

New little feet
Patter on the floor;
New little faces
Peep through the door;
New little souls
Have entered into life;
New little voices
Speak in love or strife;
New little fingers
Tightly clasp our own;
New little tendrils
Round our hearts have grown.
Still the old voices
Echo in our ear,
Aud the old faces
Halowed are and dear;
Stn the old friends
Who have passed away,
Live in our affection
Love has no decay;
And the old words,
Spoken long ago,
Keep the heart tender,
Make the tears GOw.
Thus New and Old
Ningle in one,
Each has It's blessing;
And when life is done,
Old faces, old friends
VIII meet US again
Treasures long buried
We shall regain
An that is lovely,
an that is true,
Win live on forever,
The Old and the New.

A "FoUL AIR SIGNAL" has been invented,
which is said to work admirably, to announce
the presence of carbonic oxide gas. The
apparatus consists of small galvaDic battery
with a bell attached, and an open test tube,
containing liquid chloride of palladium
The chloride of palladium is extremely SEN
sitive to the presence of carbonic oxide gas !;
it absorbs the gas and precipitateS metallic
palladium; the deposition of the metal in the
bottom of the tube makes the connection OF
the galvanic current and at once rings the
bell, which will not stop until the current is
broken. A plan is now wanted to discover
the presence of carbOnic acid gas.

The Cotton Movement.

The New York Financial Chronicle
has returns from the Southern ports, show
ing the receipts, exports, ETC., of cotton for
the week ending Aug. /. 1t appears that the
total receipts for the seven days have reach
ed 12,255 bales against 12,61S bales last
week, 1883 bales the previous week, and
1871 Dales three weeks since, making the
total receipts since the first of September,
1872, 1873, 34S bales against 2, 70S, 900 bales
for the same period OF 1871 2, showing an
increase since Sept. 1, 1872, Of S67,25S
| bales. The exports for the week ending
same date reach total of IL, S31 bales, Of
which L., 627 bales we're to Great Britain,
&c bales to France, and 16S bales to
the rest of the continent, while the
stocks as made up are now 1870
bales. Compared with the correspond
ing week of last season, there is an in
crease in the exports this week of 1881
bales, while the stocks are 56,647 bales
more than they were at this time a year
ago. We extract as follows from the
| Chronicle at hand:
DIRTY COTTON A Loss TO EVERY ONE.
One singular feature In this seasons trade
| demands the attention of our cotton pro.
| ducers. The nominal quotation of the
price of American cotton at Liverpool is
based upon the grade middling. That has
fallen slowly for some months, and is now
| sgd for upIands, 95d for Orleans. We may
| call the average price o. middling uplsnds
| for the last three months Cd. 1t is ques-
tionable if the average cotton spinning of
| England would not have been without
profit, or at an actual loss, on the prices OBJ
tainable for their mill products, if all grades
| of American cotton had this season been
| priced In their usual relation to m;ddling,
and that at Cd. But in the crop of 1928
was an immense disproportion of low grade
and dusty cotton, the greater part of which
| found its way to England. Intri lsically
worth to spinner, who could use it at all,
nearly as much as middling, except the loss
by greater waste in use probably not more
than I'd per lib. in average of all that portion
not very dus5y) it has been freely selling at
| Cd to 75d, while very dusty bales sold down
to i'd to SID; the better sort l I'd to Sd, and
the very dusty SD to 3D. below the price of
middling. At asst one half IAN average
l1d) of this unusual difference has been q
clear profit to the spinner, and as clearly o
loss to the planters, except in those cases
where the planters loss was divided with
unfortunate exports. In every crop there
is some loss by bad handling of the cotton,
in pickiny, ginning, and especially in pack
log it for market. When the portion of
such cotton in crop is small 1t will sell for
nearly its true relative value. But when
That portion is large, as in the crop of 1928,
and the crop otherwise below the usual
average grade, the excessive supply of low
cotton, however good its staple, is forced
down to competition with the poorest and
