For six thousand years God has been lift
ing the world up toward the realization of
love. lie has been tempering the spirit Of
nations. The old idea that might is
right has been fading away in the atmos-
phere of love. Arbitration is substituted
for the spirit Of war lie has been correct.
ing the church, and attuning its various dis
cordant sects to the key Of love. lie has
been bringing up individual human nature.
Many have entered into the experience Of
perfect love many more are entering.
Slowly some of these elements are rising
more rapidly others but one day all will
b. mp, Then will be brought to pass the
prediction Of Isaiahi
The wol AZ shall dwell with the lamb,
and the leopard Al lic down with the kid (;
aud the calf and the young lion aud the fat
ling together; and a little child shall lead
them. And the COW and the bear shall feed,
and their young ones shall lie down to
gether and the lion shall eat straw like the
OK. Aud the sucking child shall play on
the hole of the asp, and the weaned child
shall put his hand ON the cockatrice den.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my
holy mountain for the earth shall be full of
the knowledge OF the Lord, as the waters
cover the sea"
What picture OF concord The story Is
told Of Mendclssohn, that when boy be
was so proficient ia music that he seemed TO
inspire an instrument whenever his fingers
touched il. On one occasion his father took
him to an old Cathedral, aud in the interim
Of service, conducted him TO she organ loft
and sat him upon the scat Of the organist
After instructing him IN the use of the stops
and pedals, he pumped the bellows while
the 10y played. Such music had never be-
fore been produced upon that organ. The
monks from the adjoining monastery came
in, one by one, and ascended to the top of
the stairway, On reaching this point they
were held spell-bound
Well, when the day comes that the world
shall be attuned TO love, and God shall run
his fingers along the keyboard. as he is ever
doing in his providence, no more shall the
harsh notes Of discord be- heard but from
the old organ Of human nature shall 90
forth music so sweet that the angels and all
the hierarchy of heaven will hasten 10 the
confines of this world, and stand enropturcd
by the completeness and richness OF the
harmony.
Z" lie which testifeth these things saith
Surely come quickly; Amen. Even so
come, Lord Jesus q. +. Wearer.

Don't scowl, il spois faces. Before you
know 1t, your forehead will resemble a small
railroad map. There is grand trunk line
now from your cowlick TO the bridge Of your
nose, intersected by parallel lines running
east and west, with curves arching your eye
brows; and o, how much older yon look for
it Scowling is habit that steals upon us
unawares. We frown when the light is too
strong, and when it is too weak We tie
our brows into a knot when we are thinking,
and knit them lightly when we cannot think.
There is no denying that there are plenty of
things to scowl about. The baby in the era
die frowns when something fails to suit,
The little toddler who likes sugar ON his
on his bread and butter tells his trouble in
the same way when you leave II off. "Cross," "
we say about the children, and " worried to
DEATH" about the grown folks, and as for
ourselves, we cant help ii. But we must.
Its reflex influence makes others unhappy
for face answereth unto face in life as well
as in water. 1t bellies our religion. We
should possess our souls of such peace that
il will reflect itself in placid countenances.
If your forehead is rigid with wrinkles be-
fore forty, what will it be at seventy :?
There is one consolng thought about these
marks of time and trouble--the death angel
almost always grasses them. Even the ex-
tremely aged, in death, often wear smooth
and peaceful brow, thus leaving our last
memories of them calm and tranquil, But
our business is with life. Scowlng is kind
Of silent scolding 1t shows that our souls
need sweetening. For PHYS sake let us take
a sad iron, or glad iron, or smoothing tool
of some sort, and straighten these creases
out of our faces before they become indel-
bly, engrayen upon our visages.

How He Won Her.

A young couple were occupying a rustic
seat in Union Park, one evening lately, and
from the expression of the masculine repre-
sentative's face, it was evident that he was
a goner 'e-drifted, as it were, over the
great psychological Niagara of affection, and
was then being dizzily whirled in the frothy
whirlpool Of sentiment. The swimming
swans had no charms for him the eagles
were as nothing and he did not even notice
the big white bear. "Oh, do he NINE" he
said attempting to draw her little nearer
his end of the seat. She made herself rigid,
and heaved sigh. "Pll be good man and
give up all my bad habits" he urged. No
reply. am never drink another Drop he
continued. Still unrelenting sat the object
of his alteration. And give up chewing"
No response "And smoking" Cold as
ever. I" And join the church." She only
shook her head. And give you diamond
engagement ring" he added in desperation"
Then the maiden lifted her dropping eyes
TO his, and, leaning her frizzes ON his shoul-
der tremblingly murmured into his raw
ished ear Oh, Edward, you-you are so
goodl" And there they sat, and sat, until
the soft arms of night-that dusky nurse of
the world-had folded them from sight, pom
dering, planning, thinking-she OF the dia-
mond ring, and he of how on earth he was
TO get it.
