oak rockingham. A long cared
deer-hound snapped at flies by his
side; basket of sewing by her.
Both rock incessantly-that is the
yonng people-not the, dog and
basket. He signs heavily and looks
out the west window at a Grape
myrtle tree; she signs lightly and
gazes out the east window-at a
turnip- patch. At last he remarks :
"This is mighty good weather to
pick cotton"
""Tis that-if we only had any to
pick"
The rocking continues.
What's your dogs name?"
"Coony."
Another sigh-broken stiffness.
What is he good fur?"
"What is who good fur?" said he,
abstractedly.

"Who looks like a deer dog?"
"Coony."
"He is-but he's kinder bel

In the quiet ten minutes that fol-
lowed she took two stitches in her

quilt was, made by the pattern
called "Rose of Sharon" She is

Then more rocking, and, some
how, after while the big rocking
chair and the little rocking chair
were jammed side by side. / don't
know how it happened. 1t might
have been caused by some peculiar
ity in the floor, or by the natural
magnetic attraction one chair had
for tire other; but, strange to say,
the basket Of work had followed the
little chair, and the little chair had
travelled as fast as the big one
Coony had not moved; he lay in the
same place sound asleep. and he
was talking in his sleep-that is,
giving faint, irregular barks at tue

After a while the conversation is re-
sumed

"How many what?'

By this time the chairs are SO

More silence, then he says

Presently his hand is acciden

John Todd's Reformation.

1t not uufrequently happens that when
PRAYERS and entreaties and shame and suffer
ing and degradation have failed to check
man in his down-hill course some incident
seemingly changes the whole current of his
life. have such an incident in mind.
You may know my hero as John Todd. 4
few yet living will know him by another
name.
John Todd had sunk very low. Once he
had been gay, handsome and happy. When
he made Mary Somers his wife, there was not
a young man in our village whose prospects
seemed brighter. But the demon of drink
seized him. 1t was gradual growing of ap-
petite, aud gradual going down. Wife and
children were neglected true friends were
forsaken the low and debased were his
chosen companions, and poverty and want fell
upon his once happy household.
For months and years his friends tried to
save John Todd. They eXpostulated, they
prayed they begged, they reasoned, but all
10 no avail, and at length they gave it up.
One night, quivering and shaking, with
not penny in his pocket, John Todd ell
tered his dilapidated home and asked his
wife for liquor. She told him there was not
a drop in the house. lie cursed her bitterly
and then commenced to search, protesting
to believe that she had liquor hidden away
somewhere. At length, away back on one
of the shelves Of small locker over the fire
place. he found a bottle the contents Of
which smelled like rum. As he raised it to
hi, lips, his wife, who had been watching
him, sprang forward and dashed the bottle
from his hand, shiyering il upon the hearth
With fierce oath, John Todd smote hi.
wife to the floor, supine upon the broken
glass, and then staggered away to his bed
lie would not 90 out again, for he had nc
money.
On the following morning, his oldest
child-a girl of twelve years-came to his
bedside.
"Oh papa do you know what you did
last night?"
lie had a dim recollection, but made nc
reply.
"You knocked mamma down, and cut hel
badly"
"Ay, child, she she -
She saved your life, papa That was
poison in the bottle you were holding to youi
lips-a most dreadful poison
"Poison, child 2"
"Yes, don't you remember what grandma
sent over for mamma to kill bugs with II
was corrosive subliment and alcohol"
John Todd sank back upon his pillow
and did not get up until noon. When he
arose he was very weak and tremulous. lie
| dressed himself and went out into the
/ kitchen, where he saw his wife standing by
the fireplace, with a napkin bound round
her head, lie went to her side, and laid his
/ hand upon her shoulder. She turned and
looked into his face, but did not speak II,
only kissed her and then went out

Faith and Immortality.

There is one kind of doctrine which the
Creator has appointed shall be acquired by
the busy intellect, and which, when So ac-
quired, is held in inalicuabla possession.
There is another kind of knowledge which
he gives to faithful and obedicnt hearts. and
which even the truest Of them hold on the
prccarious tenure OF sustained faith and un-
relaxing obedience. The future world as
suredly belongs to this latter class of knowl-
edge. 1t Is, as one Of the greatest of living
teachers has said, part of our religion,
not branch of our geography Why it is
so why our passionate longings for more
satisfying information cannot be INDUCED.
we can even partially see for we may per-
ceiye that it would instautaueously destroy
the perspective cf this life, and uullify the
whole present system of moral tuition 10y
earthly Joys and chastisemcuts The men,
tai chaos into which those persons obviously
fall, who in our day imagine that they have
obtained tangible. audible and visible proofs
Of another life, supplies evidence Of the
ruinous results which would follow were
any such corporeal access to the other world
actually opened to mankind Let us then
courageously face the conclusion which we
seem TO have reached The KEYS which
must open the door Of hope beyond the
grave Will never be found by fumblng
among the heterogeneous stores of the logi-
cal understanding. Like the one with
which the pilgrim unlocked the dungeon of
Giant Despair's castle. it is hidden in our
own hearts given TO Us long ago by the
Lord Of the way.-FTmces POirer CoLJt

Doing good is a sure way Of getting good,
There is no more thorough way of learning
the truth than teaching 1t to others. The
working man increases his own strength.
The athlete develops his muscles by every
feat of strength or skill The race-horse
must be daily practiced, The child grows
by his constant activity
II you would enjoy your religion, practice
it, If YOU would learn of Jesus speak of
him to others. Ifyou would know the truths
of the Bible, teach them to others. If you
would be more and more like Christ, initiate
his example in doing good If you would
grow into the stature of perfect manhood IN
Christ, exercise every tendon and muscle
and nerve of your spiritual frame in the ex'
ercise of God and the enjoyment OF doing
good, Just as children who grow into healthy
manhood continually exercise themselves IN
play. If you shut your soul up in the soil
tary chambers of its own religious experl'
ence and its selfish hopes, it will soon become
pale, languid, diseased, nearly dead. THIS
Is why churches and Christians need so often
to be "revived." They think Of religion as
a matter Of private enjoyment, and they Try
to use it as personal luxury. II will not
be so used, and it soon departs.

Prayer a hey.

Prayer is a key, for it opens to us the door
TO the knowledge Of God. None can under
stand anything spiritually of the character
and glory of God but those who 20 to Him
to be enlightened Whor we 60 to Him as
the Father Of Lights, aud call upon Him, by
that very act we place ourselves in the beam
ing splendor which goes out from Him. We
come TO the light and lie is ever ready to
open to us the door, if we but use the key.
Second--Prayer is a key, because it opens
to as the knowledge of ourselves. just rs |
bring an object out Of the darkness into the
light when | wish TO examine it, SO ! bring
my dark and spotted heart TO the light, when
come to God in prayer. In the light OF Ills
holiness and love and joy, | see my own sin
fulness and shame and misery, The nearer
| go to Him, the more clearly see myself
and know what am. Prayerless men do
not know themselves. They have never seen
themselves in the light of God, and they
think they are good and blameless but
praying men know the wickedness of their
own hearts " Now mine eye seeth thee,
SAYS job wherefore | abhor myself and
repent in dust and ashes
THnd-Prayer opens to the soul the glory
of the natural world A prayerless man
does not know one in thousand OF the
beauties Of nature aud what he sees not,
that he cannot enjoy, as the spiritual man
enoysit For thou, Lord, rejoicest me by
thy work | Joy in the works Of thy hands.
O Lord, how great are thy works, and thy
thoughts are very deep, The british man
knoweth not neither does the fool understand
this" God makes the hearts OF those re-
ioice in His works, whose joy is to draw neal
to Him.
Fouh-Prayer is a key, for it opens to
us most glorious knowledge Of heaven. II
| brings us into spiritual harmony with the
employments and the enjoyments of the IN
| habitants of heaven we can understand bet
ter what is the home of the blessed, Oul
| faith is so strengthened that we obtain cleal
views of the eternal heights and the heay
enly heights and the heavenly fields. Nc
/ hin on earth is so high, no mountain summit
1 is so near heaven as the mount of God.
The key which can open so many locks
and throw wide so many doors-which car
bring a man into possession of so many
blessings, is within the reach of every man
if he only desires and takes pains to Obtain
it, Many young and poor, learned and un
learned, have found it and enjoy it in the
use of its unspeakable blessings; and are w
not sure that every one who has this key
that opens the treasures Of the Most High
must seek at his own door the blame for hi
shame and misery ?-Erchdnge.

See TO IL, Parents.

Louis was a bright-eyed little boy, about
four years old, His parents were deyotedly
attached to him, They were both members
of the church, and his father was an officer
in it, but because Of his timidity, had never
erected a family altar in his home. In con.
sequence Of this, little Louis had never heard
his fathers voice in prayer, Louis mother
had taught her little boy to pray every even
ing before retiring, and was earnestly trying
to raise him up in the nurture and admoni-
tiou Of the Lord. One evening, after the
little fellow arose from his knees as he was
climbing into bed, he said
" Ma, when | get to be a man, won't have
TO pray, will q
" Yes, dear" said his mother, you will al
ways have to pray to God, for He loves you. y
Well, tather doesn't pray and he is a
man"
The above is a true incident give il
just as it was related to me by the child's
mother. need not add that that father ha,
a family altar in that home now. | hope
that the eye of some other Christian parent
who never prays with his family, may fall
on it. Fathers, see to it, Little eyes are
watching YOU
