THE BOI.TED DOOR.

God is knocking,
Ever knocking,
Al the hearts thrice.boited do9r.
Which we're locking,
Ever locking,
As We often have done before:
And We hear, yet hearing, heed not,
While we faster bolt the door.
lIe is calling.
Ever calling,
In soft and gentle tone
TO the fallen,
And the falling,
To the weary and the lone;
still they answer not the summons,
Till the spirit voice has flown.
Hes entering,
Fer entering,
By His mercy, by His care;
Knocking, knocking,
And repeating,
Calling, calling, this His prayer:
"Let me enter." Here It, mortal
Open wide the sin-locked portal;
Here it.. mortal; open quickly;
God is waiting at the door.

HAPPY Is HE."-A lady reports th. little
Incident
Mrs. White had been spending the afternoon
with me. She was not very cheerful company.
Much Of tho time was spent with the story Of
her troubles, which after all seemed to me of
her own making. She complained of her h,,s-
band, of her children, of her pastor, and of her
self.
"Oh, " said Willy, after she was in the street,
"arn't you so glad she's gomez"
"Why, Willie." said.
'She is so doleful, she makes everything
look so dark. Is she Christian, Auntie?"
time to 60 - to be-" answered; but 1t was
more to Willie then about it. At prayer meet
ing we heard two OF three men talk in sad,
dreary way, (as you have all heard persons talk
in your own prayer meeting ; people who make
religion Gem gloomy thing,) As we walked
home, Willie said. "Auntie, are Mr. French and
Mr.. Brown, Christians?
Il think so.'
"And do they trust in the Lord? Does Mrs
White trust in Him."
"but why do you ask?'
"Because, | read in my Daily Food this
/, mFning, 'The man that trGsteth i'll the Lord,
happy is he They don't seem happy a bit
and thought they cotlldn't be trusting in
God"
Was Willie right?

TIE ALTITUDE AT WHICH Men CAN LIVE.
There has been great deal of discussion as
! 10 the altitude at which human beings can ex-
1T, and Mr.. Glaisher himself eau tell US US much
about 1t as anybody. In July, 1872, he and
Mr.. Coxwel assembled in ballon to the enorm-
Gus elevation Of $1,000 feet. Previous to the
start, Mr.. Glaisher's pulse stood at seventy-six
beats minute Coxwe's at seventy-four. At
1900 feet, the pnlse of the former was at eigh
ty.four; that of the latter at 100. AT 10000 #.
Glaishers hands and lips were quite blue, but
not his face. At 81 900 feet he heard his heart
beating, and his breathing became oppressed !;
at 10000, he became senseless ~; nothwithstand-
Inc which the aeronaut, in the interest Of
science, went up another 5000 feet, till he could
, no longer use his hands, and had to pull the
strings Of the valve with his teeth. Aeronants
who have to make no exertions have, Of course,
great advantage over IN ,mbers Of the Alpine
Club, and those who trust their legs even at
$4,000 feet these climbers feel very uncomforta-
bic, saore so in the Alps, it seems, than else
where. At the monastery of st. Bernard, Silt
feet high, tine monks become asthmatic, and are
compelled frequently to descend into the Valley
Of the Rhone for-anything but "a breath Of
fresh air" and at the end OF ten years service
are obliged to give up their high living, and
come down to the usual level. At the same
time, in South America, there are towns (such
as Potosi) placed as high as the top of Mont
tanc, tne lnldplldlls oi WHICH ieel no lucou-
venence. The highest inhabited spot in the
world is, however, the Buddhist cloister Of
Hanle, in Thbet, where twenty-one priests live
ut au altitude OF 1880 feet. The Brothers
Scslagintweit, when they explored the glaciers
Of the lbi-Galnin in the same country, encamp-
ed at 81 900 feet, the highest altitude at which
European ever passed the light. Even at the
top of Mont Blanc, Prof. Tyndall's guides found
it very unpleasant to do this, though the Profes-

they. The highest mountain in the world is
Mount Everest (Himalaya,) 20,003 feet, and
the candor has been seen 'winging the blue
air" 500 feet higher. The air, by the by, is not
"blue," or else, as De Saussure pointed out
'the distant mountains, which are covered with
snow, would appear blue also;' its apparent
color being due to the reflection Of light What
light can do, aud does, is marvellous and not
the least is its power o: attraction 10 humanity.

JUST REcoMPENsE-A LEGEND.-A very
powerful emperor had an only daughter Of
uncommon beauty. She was consigned tn
the care of five soldiers, who were comman.
ded to be constantly in arms; and every day
a stated sum was paid them out of the king :
treasury. This emperor had a senechal whom
he greatly favored, and valuable but fero.
cious dog, which it was necessary to confne
with triple chains. 1t happened that as the
emperor lay in bed. he formed q resolution
to proceed to the Holy Land and when he
arose, sent for the senechal, and said, Il am
about to undertake an expedition to Pales-
tine, 10 your vigilance | commit my only
daughter, with the soldiers of her guard
The dog likewise, which specially value,
entrIht to your care. And ON pain of instant
death, let there be no deficiency in atten-
dance upon my daughter. You shall supply
the soldiers with all that they require but
observe that the dog is securely chained and
led sparingly,s so that his ferocity may abate.
The senechal approved of all the emperor
injunctions, and promised faithfully to COM
ply with them; instead of which he acted in
direct opposition. The dog was fed with the
most unsuitable food, and not guarded as he
ought to have been. He diminished the
comforts and even denied the necessaries of
life to the lady. He robbed the soldiers of
their pay, who, being needy and unemploy-
ed, roamed over the country in great dis.
tres'. And the poor gul, forsaken and destt
tute, passed from her chamber into the
courtyard Of the hall which she occupied,
and seating herself upon the pavement, gave
free course to her sorrows. Now, the dog,
whose savage nature improper ailment had
augmented burst, by sudden and violent
movement, from the bonds that enchained
him, and tore her limb from limb. When
this affecting circumstance was known in the
kingdom, it excited universal regret Mes
sengers were Immediately dispatched to the
emperor, who hastened his return with all
possible expedition. The senechal was sum-
moncd before him and asked categorically
why the lady was unprovided for, the soldiers
unpaid and the dog Improperly fed, contra
ry TO his express command. But the man
was unable to answer, and offered not the
least excuse. The torturers, therefore, were
called in. he was bound hand and foot, and
thrown into a red hot furnace. The empe
ror's decree gave satisfaction to the whole
empire.
APPLlCATIoS.-M beloved the emperor
is our Lord Jesus Christ; the fair daughter
is the human soul; the five soldiers are the
five senses; and the dog is carnal affections,
which disturb and slay the spirit.
The tripel chain is love to God. the fear of
offending him, and shame when we have
done 50. The senechal is any man to whom
the care of the senses and the guardianshi-
of the soul is committed -"Gcsta Roman.
