NOT KNOWING.

know not what will befall me!
God hangs mist Ger my eyes;
And Ger each step of my onward path
He makes new scenes arise,
And every Joy he sends me comes,
AS a sweet and glad surprise.
see not step before me,
AS / tread the days of the year,
But the past is still in Gods keeping,
The future his mercy shall clear.
And what looks dark in the distance
May brighten as 1 draw near.
For perhaps the dreaded future,
Has less bitterness than think;
The Lord may sweeten the water,
Before stoop to drink;
Or, if Marah must be Marah,
He will stand beside its brink.
It may be there is waiting
For the coming of my feet.
Some gift of such rare Slessedness,
Some joy so strangely sweet,
That my lips can only tremble
With the thanks cannot speak.
Oh restful, blissfnl ignorance!
IT'S blessed not to know,
It keeps me quiet in those arms
Which will not let me go,
And bushes my soul to rest
On the bosom which loves me so.
So 20 on not knowing!
Iwould not if might;
I'd rather walk in the dark with God,
Than 60 alone in the Light. =.
I would rather walk with Christ by faith
Than walk alone by sight.
NV heart shrinks back from trials
Which the future may disclose,
Yet never had a sorrow
But what the dear Lord chose;
So send the coming tears back, =,
With the whispered word HE knows"

How TO BE HAPPy.-A French phi
losopher laid down three rules for the
attainment of happiness. The drst was
occupation; the second, occupation i;
and the third and last was still occupa-
ton. 1t develops your mental and phys
ical powers. You were created for it.
Brain and judgment, sinew and muscle,
bone and blood, were all given you to be
thus used. Unused. they rust and wither,
and shrivel and decay. Brought into
active, healthful exercise, they bring
happiness to you, of which the idle, hst,
less man knows not. Even the sleep OF
the toiler has a joy and zest that others
can imagine but never fully comprehend,
Establish hours of rest and relaxation.
To the hardest worker comes the blessed
day to rest, interleayed among the seven
days of the week. This at least, the law
allows him to command for his own;
and the happy tendency of our times is
to give him other hours of rest beside,
to enjoy with the loved ones at home.

The Load of Gold,

There were two brothers, one rich in
the love of good wife and children, but
poor. in this worlds goods; the other,
Franz, was rich in money, which he loved
better than anything else.
Franz lived all alone. One bitter cold
night, the wife of the sick brother came
to the miser, Franz, and begged for help,
but he refused her, and she went away
saying, 'I pray God that the gold which
has so hardened your heart may never
weigh so heavy on your soul that you
cannot mount to glory"
This frightened Franz. By-and-by he
fell asleep and dreamed that fairy came
to him, shaking bags of gold, and said,
"Lie down, put your strong box on your
chest, and will give yol gold 80 long as
you can bear its weight; but take care
you don't get too much, tor though l can
give, I cannot take away"
So Franz lay down, but he was so
greedy of the gold that he kept wanting
more, till at last he was so weighed down
he could not move. And there he lay
for years and years. At last bright
light shone, and crowd Of people gath
ereQ AROUND ulm. he lememUSIou uAo
neighbors, his brother with his wife and
children, but he couldn't go near them,
for be was weighed down by his pile of
gold. "Oh, take it off, take it off" he
cried "and let me CO."
Then came voice: "Any Of you his
family, his neighbors or servants, any
one whom he has helped may remove the
awful load that binds him down."
But no one stirred, and cry burst from
Franz, as his eye went from face to face,
and only the memory of unkind and
selfish words and actions came up before
him. He saw in his sisters face that
same sad look, as on that stormy night,
long ago, when he drove her from bis
door cold, hungry and sorrowful. "The
gold that hardened his heart, has bound
him to the earth; he can never rise to
glory"
he awoke and remembered the words
of Scripture: "Having food and raj
ment, let us be Herewith content
Charge them that are rich in this world,
that they be not high minded, nor trust
in uncertain riches; That they do good,
that they be rich in good works"

THE WHOLE BIBLE IN THE BOOK OF
JoB.-A man once asked me if l ever
studied Job. And he said there was
something remarkable about Job. Ifyou
get the key to Job you get the key to
the whole Bible. GLOW do you make
that out ?" I asked. "Well," he said, "I
divide Job into seven heads. 1. Job un-
tried. God pronounced him perfect
man. He is Adam in Eden-perfect
before his trial. Then trial came-and
adversely came to Job; that is the second
head. Trial came Just as it came to
Adam, and like Adam he fell. 8. Then
the third head-the wisdom of the world.
The wisdom of the world came to try and
soothe Job. You never heard such wis
dom; but they made poor work of it.
Job could stand his scolding wife and his
complaining children, but he couldn't
stand the wisdom of the world. 4. They
couldn't state anything about forgiveness,
and that is what Job wanted. 5. Then
Job cries out, fOh, that I had daysman
betwixt me and Godp That is Christ.
6. Then God speaks and Job learns his
lesson; and fiat he comes down upon the
dunghil. Behold I am vile? what
shall answer thee? will lay my hand
upon my mouth etc. There is man
coming to see his lost and ruined condl-
ton by the fall. 7. Job learns his lesson
and God now lifts him up,.and that is
the last. And Jobs last estate was better
than his first" Why, man after he is re-
stored is better off than Adam was in
Eden9 Adam might have been in Eden
ten thousand years and then the devil
might have come and taken everything
that Adam had but now "our life is hid
with Christ in God" and Satan can't get
at it
A man once said to me, "Did you ever
notice that God promised to give JOB
double of everything he had possessed?
And did you notice that he didn't give
him double children? He had ten, and
God didn't give him twenty; he gave
him ten. God wouldn't admit that Job
had lost his children, so he had ten on
earth and ten in heaven.
You that have departed children and
friends don't say that you have lost them
they have gone on before you, and by
and-by you shall meet them.-Moody.

Thus talks an old farmer about his
boys: "From sixteen to twenty they
knew more than I did; at twenty-five
they knew as much; at thirty they were
willing to hear what I had to say; at
thirty-fve they asked my advice; and !!
think when they get to be forty they will
acknowledge that the old man does know
something"
"A child can pick up good deal of
information if it will keep its ears open

WA4s1DE WARN1Nes.-Don't let the
treasures of this world hazard your pros
poets for the next.
Don't disregard the rights of others in
trying to exercise what seem to be your
own.
Don't preach charity and leave some
body else to practice it.
Don't think it condescension to speak
pleasantly to that form beneath those
tattered garments. They may, per-
chance, cover form as comely, or heart
as honest, as your own, into which might
be reflected ray of sunshine by even
pleasant look.
Don't retard the progress of others be-
cause you fail to keep pace with them.
Don't dwell too much on the greatness
of your ancestors, lest your hearers think
the stock has sadly degenerated.

chemistry and geology that are now ex-
ploded. Yet while those sciences were
the faiths of the day, it was quite as
much as a mans reputation was worth
to teach otherwise. And to this day no
man lives who knows what electricity is,
or now the thing works. These facts
ought to make men modest, self-distrust-
ing and backward about coming forward,
when they do not know what they are
about.

And many men are ready to try their

vines, when the regular vine-dresser has

Our financial system-I beg pardon,
we have none-our financial condition in
this country is now a complete muddle, be-
cause of political quackery; one lawyer
after another trying his hand This fingers
all thumbs) at the national grape vine.
The rules of business, commerce, trade,
borrowing and lending, buying and SELL
ing, are not written in the statute books,
and lawyers have no more education and
knowledge of finance than preachers or
physicians. And so it comes to pass that
the currency of forty millions Of people,
the life-blood of trade and prosperity, is
deranged; that is the word the currency
of the country is deranged; and commit
tees, conventions and legislatures are as
powerless to restore it to reason and
health, as college of infants to cure a
nation of lunatics. Under the treatment
of unqualified physicians, the finances of
the country are getting worse and worse
like my poor vine, they are being bled to
death.-M Y. Observer.

KEROSENE OIL AND DIPHTHERIA.
The New York papers have lately sur
missed that much of the prevalent diph-
liberia troubles thereabouts has been oc-
casioned by the kerosene oil factories on
Long Island. At all events, within the
range of the odors of these factories,
throat troubles have been common
There may be something in this to make
investigation both interesting and prof.
table in the study of causes of diphthe-
ria. Long before anything was said re-
garding the factories alluded to, DIR.
Wilson, one of the leading physicians in
Meriden, Conn.,, adopted theory that
the use of kerosene oil had much to do
with the disease in question, and during
the last year, when Meriden has been Sc
verely afflicted, has become satisfied from
close observation that his theory is cor
rect. By practical experiment he has
found that where kerosene oil was used
the disease was more malignant, reach
ing its worst stages when the lights were
started, and that by stopping the use of it
there was manifest change in the pa
tients for the better. So impressed did
DR.. Wilson become that in every case
where he found families using kerosene
he directed change in the material
for lighting at once, when ever M
a case of diphtheria occurred. The
severest cases were those in houses where
this oil was burned. 1t is said, also, that
the disease was unknown until after the
discovery of petroleum. 1t has been
commonly supposed that defective sewage
or decayed matter of some sort, alone
causes this disease; yet in many locali-
ties, where houses were situated on high
ground, with good drainage, and where
every precaution was taken to have pure
air, the disorder has proved fatal, and
carried off parts of whole families. Il
would certainly seem to be a matter o1
Importance that this kerosene oil theory
should have scientific investigation.

topic of the week. Last Saturday
the people began to arrive, and long
before Monday evening had come
every hotel III town was crowded to
its utmost capacity. The steamboats,
and railroad trains were thronged
with passengers on Monday and
Tuesday and the streets of the me-
tropolis rcsembled the busy thor
ouyhfares of eastern cities of greater
note. The display of bunting from
the business houses, public buildings
and dwellings was profuse in the ex-
treme. Flags by the hundreds were
stretched across the principal streets
and the many vehicles, from the hum
Die express to the four in hand of the
millionaire, bore the national colors
in every variety of beautiful arrange
ment. Patriotic mothers dressed
