to have spoken peace to my heart
tonight. All in vain and wicked
have been our repinings. / feel tc
say as | have not done for years
that the Lord doeth all things
WE'LL"
The aged man looked up into the
face Of his wife, and responded:
"You are right. Henceforth we
will bear our burdens without a
murmur." And then kneeling, he
said in a reverent tone, "Let us
pray"
AS his voice, TREMENDOUSLY with
emotion, rose and fell on the even
ing air in praise and love to God,
the figure of man passed swiftly
up the road leading to the cottage,
and stopped beside the little wicket
gate.
For a few moments he stood as
though in doubt, then lifting the
latch, passed up the gravelled walk,
and stood in the opening doorway
till he heard the fervent "amen."
AS the couple rose from their
knees with strengthened hearts,
they drew back in establishment at
beholding a stranger standing be-
fore them, with a face Drowned by
exposure and covered by a long,
rough beard.
The father started forward with
a long, lingering look, and uttered
a glad cry of recognition as the
stranger exclaimed in an eager
tone,
Father
And the mother clasped the weary,
travelstrained man in her arms, and
in voice from which every shade
of sadness had departed forever,
over and over again the
words
"My son !"
A few hours later, when they
were sufficiently calm, he told to
them, in as few words as possible,
the story of his wanderings.
The ship, driven about many
days by fierce storm, at last went
down in sight of land, but so sud-
denly that there only rose to heaven
one long, loud, despairing wall, and
then all was hushed, save the ex-
ulting roar of the merciless waves.
But he, more fortunate than all
others, chung to floating spar, and
at last, almost exhausted, drifted
upon a small island, fertile but uE- I
inhabited.
The parents drew close to his
tide and pressed his hand in silent t
as he spoke Of the hope S
ess misery, of the long weary s
ears he was obliged to remain n
here, with not living soul, and at S,
ines went almost mad. But with C
faces and thankful a
carts, they listened as he told them IL
lat finally ship, driven out of its W
'urse by wind, had stopped at the IL
land for water, where he was T
und much wasted by long con- tt
nued illness, but still alive. III
He was taken aboard and tender to
cared for, and as he found him hi
If sailing toward home, speedily st
covered both health and spirits. nj
AS he finished, they with one ac- sh
rd knelt by the hearth stone, and be
anked God that the vacant chair re
as filed at last I; that their son
ID returned to them "after many
,ars." ri

PosthuInous Influence.

A persons life is judged by tn,
work he does. Often his ruins
principle and the motives which
prompted his actions, as well as tn,
work he has done, are known bet
ter after his death than during hi,
life. The work of those who hav,
passed away is seen all around us
many of their laws and customs
are now practised, and to them are
due many Of the inventions and
discoveries of the present day.
In the rich mans death the man
himself may be seen through the
wealth he has left. The work OF
the artist, the sculptor, the literary
man, makes his influence felt ages
after death. Thus it is with those
who have lived so as to benefit
their fellow-beings, who have lived
for others rather than for self.
There are many who "pant to regis
ter their names on the gilded pages
of earthly fame" and whatever
good they may be doing is done
with this in view, that their men,
DRY shall be perpetuated. DIR.
Chalmers has said: "Write your
name by kindness, love, and mer-
cy, on the hearts of the thousands
you come in contact with year by
year, and you will never be forgot
ten."
In remembering the dead, there
is a tendency to forget all their
failings and remember only their
good qualities. Many who while
living had numerous enemies are
almost canonized after their death. /
The old saying seems true. "He
who wishes to be praised most first
die" We may not appreciate what
we have always had until it be talk
en- away. Why should we not give
to the living what we so willingly |
give to the dead9 In many cases
greater justice is done those long
dead by the critics of a later day,
than by their contemporaries, who
may have been governed by a self
ish interest, giving, it may be, too
great praise for a work that soon
passed away; or on the other
hand, because influenced by envy,
prejudice, or jealousy, they with
held deserved praise from works of
merit. But now we have their
works only, by which we may
Judge of the value of their lives.
Many find much pleasure in
of their beloved dead for
Christianity teaches them that
those whom they have lost live,
md that ere long they may enjoy !
more intimate communion with J
hem, and that their relation to t
hem will be far more tender than t
could have been on earth. The b
lemory of the dead strengthens US b
, perform our work well, for we q
e thus warned that we also shall C,
on be dead, and that only our is
ork shall be left to speak for US. fc

CITIZENSHIP.
IA MOST JUDIcIoUs SCENE.

There was some slight commotion, no
ticeable even amidst the everlasting stir
and hustle of London, in the vicinity Of
the "Wetted Whistle" public-house in
st. Martins Lane, duly licensed by the
Middlesex magistrates to retail wine,
spirits, and beer, to be drunk on the
premises.
From the alleys in the rear of that
well-known trysting-place limp, dirty
looking women and drowsy, lousy-looking
men had sauntered to the pavement, and
there, on the strength of many meetings
at the bar, were comparing notes upon
the event that had drawn them together
The rumors they exchanged were vague,
and their comments of doubtful wisdom
and Indifferent wit. 1t was generally
understood in well-informed circles that
an inquest upon the body of the woman
who had fallen out of the window of No.
- would be opened at eleven o'clock
that morning by the Coroner for Middle
sex, and that it would be held in the pub
lie room Of the Wetted Whistle. The ap-
pearance upon the scene of an inspector
Of police and two privates, who went into
the public house by its side door, tended
to confirm this news.

All this time was taking various remedies for
my blood without any substantial benefit.
then went to a prominent physician in Bos-

lanced the tumor eight times, which cost me
nearly $500. This left me with a rough, aggra-

OF the tumor, and in q siclxly, feeble condition.
consulted another physician in Natick, who,
after considerable time, succeeded in healing
the sore without reducing the size. AT this
point I commenced to use Vegetine, through
the earnest persuasion of a friend. After had
taken this medicine about one week expert

seemed to be undergoing radical change, un-
