A TOUCH oF THE WHlP.--I noticed, when
once riding OH the top OF a stage-coach, that
the driver, at certain points on the road, gave
one of his forward horses a slight touch OF his
whip. And, as the horses were going fair
pace, asked him why he did it. He replied
that that horse had been In the habit Of start
ing and sbsering at something seen or imagined
at those places on the road, and q touch of the
whip just before arriving there, gave him some
thing to think If, so that be passed by without
noticing what had before startled him.
And is 1t too much to believe that He who is
conducting many sons and daughters to glory,
notices all the perilous points they pass and
when the case requires 1t, directs their thoughts
and purposes from dangerous directions, by Civ
ing them such things to think of as will break
the forcs of temptation, and secure them from
wandering? sad bereavement, bitter dis =
appointment, serious illness, pecuniary loss,
as the hour OF temptation Is at had, is the touch
of the whip. 1t awakens serious thought. 1t
drives the soul 10 prayer. Il dims the false
brightness of things earthly and gives fresh
vividness and power to things heavenly and
ETERNAL so that, under such spiritual influences,
the points of danger are safely passed, and the
rest of liie's journey is travelled all the more
safely, and the prospects of heaven are made
all the rghter.-C0ngregdtt

my brother could forget me-" cried Charlotte,
large tears coursing down her cheeks, "when
have loved him SO, and longed for our meeting
again"
at is because you are changed so much that
he does not remember you; you were very little
when you parted, replied her mamma. "You
will always be together now and know and love
each other as before"
"But it will always grieve me to think that
he forgot me !" sobbbed Charlotte.
"Did you never forget a friend?"
81 think not, mamma."
"Who Is your best Friend-the ever-blessed,
loving Friend who died for you?"
"Jesus Christ the Saviour"
"Did you never forget Him."
40 yes often"
''And yet He loves you far more thin you
love your brother. How your forgetfulness
must grieve Him"
Before the throne of glory, Christ remembers
us from day to day. Shall we then forget HIM
who ever intercedes for us?

They came to bear his corpse away
Before her, grim and stark It lay,
With blood besprent from shield 10 crest,
And five wounds open In the breast
They said to her, sThe grave Is made
Wherein your lover must be laid,
And YOU nor we have time to spare,
Unless we seek his fate to SHARE
She answered, Yet a little space
Give me To look upon his face;
Until this final hour be sped
Leave me alone here with my dead.'
They turned away, those stern men,
Ard left her to her watch again.
Nor stitied sob, nor whispered word;
Heucpforlh the woful stiffness stirred.
Outside the window, droning bees
Hummed drowsily about the trees;
The hot sun blazed along the sky,
The wandering wind crept idly by.
It shook the sweetness and the bloom
From trailing vines across the room,
One white leaf fluttered down TO rest,
And turned to crimson, oil his breast.
She, kneeling by the awful bier,
Made no lament, and shed no tear;
But the dumb anguish in her eyes
Might have compelled the dead to rise.
Could any yearnng look or speech
Avail, alas the dead to reach?-
Aud the still lips that made no moan
Were pale as lips are, cut in stone.
His head within her arms embrace,
Her cheek laid close against his face,
And, all its silllen lengths unbound,
Her dark hair streaming to tue ground,-
So clurg she silently and fast,
As one by one the moments passed,
And with the passing hour once more,
Her brothers entered at the door.
For, marching downward through the land
There came apace hostile band,
And he who met its lawless horde,
Might choose his death by fire or sword.
Brief time remained for funeral rite
When need like this arose for flight,
SO they approached, full sore at heart,
TO bleuk that last EN- brace apart.
And one-the tenderest-at her ear,
Spoke soothing words of love and cheer;
Bat won no answer. Mute as clay
And move less as his voice she lay.
Then, with sudden, vague alarm,
He touched her sheek, he raised her arm
The arm dropt lif-less from his hold,
The cheek had already turned cold!
The grave they followed out for one
Held two before the day was done.
Around it rang the battle din,
The lovers slept at peace within.
