The Robins Note.

The other morning man was being con
veyed to prison, there to remain for long,
long years. lie walked the streets with
irons on his wrists, and the glorious sun
beaming down upon him as it kissed the
dew from the leaves of the maple and chest
nut. His eye had sullen, vicious look, and
there was something very wicked in his very
step. The officer halted with him for a mo
ment just where the eye could trace beau
tifu street for full mile, with every green
tree holding its leaves up to be kissed by the
warm sun. Just then robin left its nest in
the branches above their heads and uttered
its oudest, happiest notes in praise of the
glorious morning. The man looked up then
around him, and such change came to his
face that the officer was amazed The bad
look had left the eyes, the hard lines went
away, and there was a quivering of the chin
as he whispered And | have got 10 be
shut up from all thsl" The robin sang
again, wildly, softly and so clearly that its
notes might be heard a long way off. The
prisoners eyes We're full of tears, and he
said, in husky voice How could have
been so wicked, with such glad notes as
those 10 ring in my ears and make my heart
tender y The man of whom witnesses had
said, d" He has the heart of a tiger" was
broken down in one short moment, and he
blushed that men should see the irons on his
wrist, and point him out as criminal

Pray Without Ceaslng.

To present a petition is one thing; to
prosecute a suit is another Most prayers
answer TO the former. But successful
prayer corresponds to the latter. Gods peo-
PIE frequently lodge their petition in the
court OF heaven, and then let it lie They
do not press their suit. They do not employ
other means of furthering it beyond the pre-
senting of it. The whole Of prayer does not
consist in taking hold of God The main
matter is holding on. How many are in
duced by the slightest appearance Of repulse
TO let 90, as Jacob did not have often
been struck with the manner in which petit
tions TO the legislature are usually concluded,
And your petitioners will erer pray." So
men ought always pray to God and never
faint. Payson says, " The promise of God
is not to the act, but to the habit of prayer"

The Duty Of Right Thinking.

We read Of those whom deceived heart
hath turned aside; who have turned the
light that was within them into darkness,
and who, because they loved not the truth,
have been given over to strong delusions
that they should believe lie. The opin-
ions which men entertain on moral subjects
are never treated in the Scriptures as a
matter of indifference; nor are they ex-
empted from responsibility for the errors by
which they are misled. On the contrary,
the Bible frequently teaches and always as
sumes that right practice has its founda-
ton only in q right belief that goodness
cannot exist independent Of the truth, and
that every man is accountable for his opin-
ions, no less than for his outward conduct.

Honey from the Scriptures.

DO not think it enough if you learn to
spell and to read, and to say the words of
Scripture, but seek to learn the truths Of
Scripture. DO as the bees do, A bee when
it sees flower does not fly round and round
it, and sip il, and then off again like foolish,
idle butterflies. 1t settles on the flower and
sucks the honey out of it. You should do
as the bees do; you should settle your
thoughts on what you read, aud try to suck
the honey out of it. Almost every verse in
the New Testament has its honey Almost
every verse contains a spiritual truth fit to
nourish some soul or other.-Mdrid Hare.

Tempted by Degrees.

John Newton says Satan seldom comes to
Christians with great temptations, or with a
temptation to commit a great sin. You
bring green log and a candle together, and
they are very safe neigbhors; but bring a
few shayings and set them alight, and then
bring a few small sticks and let them take
fire, and the log be in the midst of them,
and you win soon get rid of your log. And
so it is with little sins. You will be startled
with the idea of committing great sin,
and so the devil brings you a little tempta-
ton, and leaves you TO indulge yourself.
{" There is no harm in this !" no great peril
in that :" and so by these little chips we are
first easily lighted up, and at last the green
log is burned. Watch and pray that ye en-
ter not into temptation.

Stand for the Right.

OF the acts of cowardice, the meanest is
that which leads one TO abandon good
cause because it is weak, and join a bad
cause because it is strong. The smitten deer
IS said TO be avoided by the herd it is the
instinct of the brute; but in the higher
law which reigns in the breast of mankind
and womankind, you never saw the smitten
son abandoned by the mother. have, in
the great questions Of the day, educational
and religious, in Scotland and Ireland, cast
my lot with the minority, which in due
season became the majority; when left my
cause it was because it had waxed strong,
and did not need my poor aid. We have TO
see to II that, in the struggle of life we stand
by right, and not by might, being sure that
IN the end the right shall have the might.

HoME.--Show me woman or man who
will make home out of any spot where
they alight, and you will see two already
saved from the evil in the world. The
grandest men that have ever known have
needed or longed most deeply for a home
The largest natured women who live find
the fullness and sweetness of being at home
or they never find il in this life. For such
as have missed il or lost it, no career on
earth holds an adequate compensation

Goldsmith Maid Against Time

The Philadelphia Times, June "a, says:
"On the second trial, the Maid skippe
half dozen times, but Doble each time
brought her back to work before she had
fairly left her feet. The first quarter was
made IN .331e, the second in 80, the third in
80 ". and the fourth in "a. When the
judges announced that the mile had been
made in PA, the excitement was intense.
Men threw their hats into the air, women
waved their handkerchiets with centennial
zeal, and all went hoarse with cheering.
Budd DOble bowed his acknowledgements.
and the bright-faced mare plainly mani
tested her satisfaction. Said one enthu-
siastic turfman: That mares more than
human; just look her sguarely in the
face if you don't believe 1t. She's got an
Internal sight more sense than the average
man" George Sturgis, j. 81. Camp, and D.
w. Blanchard, vel known Philadelphians,
acted as judges, and their chronometers pre-
cisely pointed out PA as the time of the
heat. Many on the outside, who timed the
Maid, insist that the mile was trotted in
2:l3a4 but the record must remain as pro-
claimed from the judges stand. Horsemen
pronounce this effort of the Maids far ahead
of her feat at My site Park last fall, when
she cut down her record to Ola. The Bel
mont track is twelve feet over mile. which
is equivalent to over quarter of q second,
and the day was against fast time. The
weather was too cool and the atmosphere
too hazy. Thoroughbred horses only trot
their best under q clear, bright sky, with
the Thermometer way up in the nineties.
