Secret PRAYER.

Besides the open return, there is a Sc
eret reward of secret prayer There isa
peculiar and present joy in communion
with God. The deeper pleasures are the
purest; and of all pleasures, the purest
is the peace Of God. To feel that He is
Ioye-to draw 50 near to him as to for
get the wOrId-sO near as to lose the love
Of sin-is OF all pleasures the sweetest, OF
all blessings the purest and most pro
found. And next to this high commun-
ion with God-next to this Joy of pas
sions lulled, and sins slain, and self for
gotten in adoring fellowship with the
Father OF lights Is their sedater comfort
who can pour their griefs into their
Heavenly Fathers bosom, or who feel
that they have bespOken help against
coming tolls and trials at their Heavenly
Fathers hand. To know that God is
near-to know TINT he is trusted, honor
ed, lOyed-to feel that you are acting
toward him "a a areverential and affection
ate child, and that ne is feeling toward
you as a gracious and compassionate
father-there is in this itself an exquisite
satisfaction, a present reward.

PAHTI.
la n frontier town of Nebraska lived
john Dalton. This name had fallen in
Ia such a state Of neglect and non use
that it would scarcely have been recog-
lied 10y the old associates of its lawful
owner, and even 10 him. | Doubt nDt,
would have sounded strangely.
lie was better known, particularly on
the borders, as Captain Jack.
Aficr his own simple fashion he was a
character with history. His title he
wun 2uiiamtly, and wore easily. One
day ia the Rocky Mountains, a small
party oi miners, surrounded by an over
powcring number of Indians, retreated
into canyon. For three days and
nights. with little iniermissinn, the com
hit continued. On the first day the
leader "f the gallant little band fell, and
Dalton, then "A mere youth, WAS selected
on account of his cool, determined bra
very to carry on the defense.
When relief came, lac was found be-
hind an eXtempoIizrd barrIcade, at the
entrances Gf the canyon, his companions
either dead or wounded, holding his
post with desperate courage which
would have ahated with death only.
His lines had not fallen in pleasant
places He had been participant aud
leader in the wild scrnrs of adventure
and danger, which, like 80 many throes,
attended the development of the great
West. He had belonged to that hardy
class which forms the first line of the
ADVANCE guard of civilization; those who
go ahead apd open the way, throw the
first rude bridge across the mountain
torrent, first penetrate into the wilds of
the enemy, are the scouts ana videttes,
fall braycly and die in remote places,
unknown and unnoticed. When the
history of the conflict is written, their
names are not On the rolls of fame
Firm, brave, honest and true, Dalton
early acquired an aseendancy over lIis
companions. Qliet aud unasSuming,
lis words always carried weight His
life had been furrowed 10y hardships; his
body bore the marks OF many struggles,

Somebody Waiting for Somebody.

Aud hearts are bou.li-and hearts are SOLD

The tangled path 10 smooth and clear,
Unfhankcd, unn"iiccd, year by year,
Somebody's working for somebody
And mid the mari's confusing din,
The awful Struggles with self and sin,
Where pride and passion mock AT men
Somebody's working foT somebody.
And eyes may weep and arms may ache,
And hopes may die aud hearts may break,
But still for loves unfailing sake
Somebody's working for somebody.

Repeat them oft from door TO door,
