Aud what doth the Lord require of thee,
but only love But how great thing is
love Love brought Him down hither to
US and love will carry us up to God. Love
made Him like to man and love is able to
make thee like to God Oh, the power of
heavenly love How shall we get it planted
in our hearts-how, but 10y love The fire.
quent meditation of this admirable love of
God in His Son, Jesus Christ, win not suffer
us not to love Him with all our heart, soul and
strength, Let US resolve, then, that the re-
membrance of His love shall lie perpetually
in our heart What more welcome thought
can there be to thee every morning when
thou wakest than this; ] am the beloved of
the King of Glory ? With what canst thou
open thy soul more cheerfully3 What will
brighten it, and chase away the darkness of
melancholy, sadness, sorrow, cares and fears,
like to this ? Let the morning light bring
Jesus ever along with it to thy mind, and
enkindle in thee a new devotion to Him.

Don't BE Too Sensitive.

There te people-yes, many people--always
looking out for Sights They cannot carry
on the dily intercourse of the family with
out finding that some offence is designed.
They areps touchy as hair triggers. Ii they
meet an acquaintance who happens to be
pre-occuphd with business, they attribute
his abstraction in some mode personal to
themselves, and take umbrage accordingly.
They lay on others the fruit Of their rrita-
bility Indigestion makes them see imper-
tinence in every one they come in contact
with Innocent persons, who never dreamed
OF giving offence, are astonished 20 find some
unfortunate word or momentary taciturnity,
mistaken for an insult TO say the least,
the habit is unfortunate. 1t is far wiser to
take the more charitable view of our fellow
beings, and not suppose that a slight is in
Tended unless the neglect is open aud direct
After all, too, life takes its hues in a great
degree from the color of our own mind. If
We are frank and generous the world will
treat us kindly; il, on the contrary, we are
suspicious, men learn to be cold and cautious
to US. Let person get the reputation Of
being "touchy," and everybody is under re-
straint, and in this way the chances Of an
offence are vastly increased

Politeness is always the mark of good
breeding, and some Of the greatest men have
been noted for their courtesy. Many of
them have owed the popularity that was a
recognition of their greatness, in no small
measure, to their consideration of Others
The following is related Of the late Edward
Everett Many years ago the errand boy
employed by publishing house in great
city was sent to procure from Edward
Everett the proof-sheets of book which he
had been examining. The boy entered the
vast library, lined from floor to ceiling with
books, in fear and trembling he stood in
awe of the famous man, and dreaded to
meet him. But Mr., Everett, turning from
the desk where he was writing, received the
boy with reassuring courtesy, bade him sit
down, chatted kindly as he looked for the
proof-sheets, and asked Shall | put a
paper round them for you 2" as POLITELY as
ii his visitor were the President The boy
departed in a very comfortable frame Of
mind. He had been raised IN his own esteem
by Mr.. Everett's kindness, and has never
forgotten the lesson it taught him.

FALSE PRAYER.-1here is good deal of
this praying, which is not prayer at all. Men
piousy ask the Lord to undertake works by
the score which they are too lazy or too pc
nurious to do for themselves. Prayer be-
comes a cloak for lazness, and piety mask
for avarice. In this point of view, mission
airy meetings are often the saddest places a
thoughtful man can sit for an hours medita-
ton. lie finds himself wondering in them
not that the heather are not converted, but
that there are any Christians left. Men
meet and pray and exhort, and turn the
with an air of pious resignation, contribut-
ing a dollar or two as they leave it, as their
share toward the enterprise.--Chwch Journal

Tnr great truth now insisted on, that
evil is evil, no matter at whose door it lies
and that men acting from conscience and
religion may do nefarious deeds, needs to be
better understood, that we may not shelter
ourselves or our institutions under the names
of the great or the good who have passed
away. 1t shows us that, in good company,
we may do the work of fiends. 1t teaches
us how important is the culture Of our whole
moral and rational nature, how dangerous
to rest on the old and established. without
habimally and honestly seeking the TRUTH

No SUCCESS WITHOUT WoRK.-When
Charles Dickens said that all that he had
accomplished had been achieved by diligent,
patient, persevering application, he only
stated what had been the experience Of
every successful man. Nothing is more inn
portaut to young men than that they should
early learn and comprehend this great truth.
1t is step by step, by toilsome effort added
to toilsome effort, that all great achievements
are made. As has been well remarked,
there is no royal road TO learning. Neither
is there any royal road to anything else of
great value in this life. Work steady,
long continued and regular application MS
the only price for which anything worth the
having can be bought. There is no great
success of any kind without great labor.

ference what kind of papers are taken in

OF the church and officers in the same, whose
weekly papers are of the class that sncer at

their children. Alas, that there should be

Burning Friendship.

He was Il young man, and was COM
ing down Main street last evening
smoking short cigar. He was stop
ped by an elderly party to inquire after
his family, and he took the cigar from
his mouth and held it transformations
ly in his right hand by his side. The
elderly party was one of those quietly
impulsive and deeply afiectionate men,
He wanted to press the young mans
hand, and he unobtrusively felt a.
round for it, his face all the while
beaming with an elevated love and q
most tender sentiment.
'How's your father" he asked.
''Pretty we'll, thank you," said the
young man, not noticing what the
elderly man was doing.
"And your dear mother?: Is she
-" and just here the young man
felt his hand with the lighted cigar
suddenly pressed, and then immedi-
ately let go of again, and on the coun-
tenance Of the afectionate elderly
party stole dreadful expression OF
shrinkage, while his right hand silent
ly but swiftly stole to his side, and
was softly but feelingly rubbed UP
and down that limb several times.
The health Of the rest Of the young
mans family was temporarily neglect.

Octayian resolved to make one effort
to save them. He threw himself up
on his knees before the Emperor, and
begged him to pardon these three
Christians.
Three Christians!w said the philo-
sophie Marcus Aurelius. ''Why should
we s.toFgive three Christians? Have
they been tried ?"
Eyes, sire"
"Condemned::"
"Yes, sire
''Then they must be punished
Whoever hears of a Christian being
pardoned The religious tranquility
of the empire requires that the impi-
Gus sect should be exterminated."
No more hope. The day came the
Emperor went to the amphitheatre,
and Octavian attended him. The old
priest standing in the midst of the
arena. his hands spread out in prayer,
was devoured by great Numidian
lion. Agrippa, father of Claudia,
sank under the spring of ferocious
tiger. and as he fell, seventy thousand
Romans sent up shouts of applause.
But even this cruel mob was hushed
to silence, which gave place to MUIR
muir of admiration, when Claudia, pale
us Il lily, but with higher beauty than
ever, walked with ii graceful dignity
into the arena. She gazed around a
moment, her eye pausing with look
of tender pity on the group of officers
behind the Emperor. Then she look
ed up to that heaven in which alone
she trusted, and which now seemed
open TO receive her.
Two lions bounded forward from
the two sides of the arena. But they
had not half way reached her, when
an officer of the imperial suite sprang
into the arena, and placed himself at
her side. The people were paralyzed.
The Emperor, who was not a cruel
man, made a signal to rescue them
1t was too late. Before the guards
could gain the arena, two more mar
tvrs had moistened its sands with their
mingled blood-two more souls had
assembled TO heaven.

CONCRETE TO EXCLUDE RATS.

CONCRETE TO EXCLUDE RATs.-A
correspondent of the Building Necs
says: "Nothing can be better to ex-
clude rats than to concrete the surface
of the ground beneath wood floors;
not only for this, but also to prevent
the growth of vegetable matter, and
to prevent, as well, damp rising. All
ground floors, whether wood, paved,
or tiled, should have a layer Of Corr
crete, inches to 4 inches thick, be-
tween them and the soil. [ have been
in the habit of doing this for years,
and all such houses have dry floors,
and are vermin-proof, as far as the
latter are concerned, as rats cannot
disturb well made concrete. The con-
crete should be made of moderated
fine gravel (broken flint or glass adj
ed to it is an Improvement, mixed
with Portland cement, in the proper
ton of of cement to of gravel.
Not too much water should be used,
but the cement must be thoroughly
mixed with gravel, and, when deposit
ed in place, well trodden or beaten
with a grass beater. Three or four
inches, at most, is sufficient in thick
ness"

ASHES FOR PEACHEs.-A correspondent
of the New York World writes: 81 find
it pays to put wood ashes and lime and a
light sprinkling of salt around each peach
tree. The top earth should be removed
from the trees before the ashes, lime, and
are put around it. IF the trees are not all
unthrifty it will restore them to life again,
and in short time they will look as
thrifty as if nothing had been the matter
with them. think this helps to make
the fruit stay on. Iwould advise every
one that has few trees to try what 1 re-
commended, and if their fruit does not
ripen better and grow finer than when they
are left to have their own way.
