The Children's Sunday.

How can make my children love Sun
day is question | often hear anxious
mothers ask. Let me tell some OF them how
one mother made it the pleasant day OF the
whole week TO her children. She had two
little ones of four aud six years, and from
their earliest childhood she had kept " Sun
day drawer" for them. 1t was full of pic
lures, cards, books, and playthings-real
playthings, too. But they were never used
except on Sunday, and were always called
Sunday playthings. Last Christmas, she got
two packing boxes from the store, one OF
which she fitted up as house for kittie's
dolls, aud the other she made into barn
for Bunnies horses. While doing this, a
new idea was suggested to her for the chill
dren's Sunday, She made new suit for
each of the dolls, and called it their Sunday
suit, aud on no other day were they allowed
TO wear it, Gu Sunday morning after break
fast, she told Kittie she might dress the
dolls in their Sunday suits, while Bunnie ar
ranged the loft OF his barn for meeting
house. This occupied them till it was time
for their mother 10 get them ready for Sun
day-school, and hear them say their verses.
"Now listen carefully, dearies," she would

The Central Cross.

In the palace of Justice, at Rome, they
take you sometimes into chamber with
strangely painted frescoes on the ceiling and
around the walls and upon the floor, in all
kinds of grotesque forms. You cannot re-
duce them to harmony, you cannot make out
the perspective, it is all bewildering maze
of confusion. But there is one spot upon the
floor of that room, and one only, standing
upon which every line falls into harmony
the perspective is perfect, the picture flashes
out upon you, instinct with meaning in
every line of panel. You can see at that
point, and that only, the design of the ar
tist that painted it. | believe that this

Rest Awhile.

1t is instructive to notice how much is
said in the Word of God about rest. Now, is
it not reasonable to suppose that he who un-
derstands so well the needs of mans nature
made this idea of rest prominent in his Word
so as TO induce men to seek it for body.
mind and soul Life is one continual scene
of activity WEAKNESS is universal expe-
rience, aud resting a necessity. Time is
wisely divided into days and nights-one
Tor work, the other for rest. We do not be-
ieve a man is treating himself fairly, or in
a Christian way, who works at unreasonable
hours. The evening is peculiarly suited for
rest and we sincerely pity those who, from
the customs of business or other demands
made upon them, must remain behind the
counter, or in the Office all the hours of the
evening. Such a custom is not Christian.
Weary store-keeper, close your store so as
to have the evening to yourself, and to give
your tired servants rest. Lay aside your
needle-work, exhausted mother, and have a
frolic with the children. What beast of
burden is the man who rises only TO eat,
work, and lie down to sleep Said a man,
in answer to the question, How have you
accumulated so much i'll so few years p i" |
have never taken an hours rest, day or
evening, since | began business. That Is
my idea of the secret of business success.
But on that mans tombstone may now be
written, " Here lies one who laid down to
his long rest ere the noon of life was past
because he would not wait little on the
nigh road to refresh himself, so that he
might go down the hill of life in strength
You will do more in a lifetime, and live
longer aud better by resting now and then.-

Man and Nature.

Is there, then, no one end of nature as a
whole which we can discover | think
there is, and that end suppose to be the
production OF a man built up to the point
where he takes possession of himself. That
this is the end of nature as a whole seems
as plain to me as it is that the end of the
plant is the production of fruit, and that
the unity of the process of nature is found
in relation to this; as that the unity of the
process within the plant is to be found in
natures relation to that. What do you find 7
First, that this great mass of inorganic mat
ter is combined and moved with looking
forward to preparation for life. But for
the life which it sustains, the East would
have no value whatever. Then comes the
lowest form of life. 1t strikes roots down
into the mass of matter, and comes up by
the overlooking power of its forces. Mar
velous are the forms of vegetable life, but
they have no value whatever except AS they
bear relation to life higher than them
selves. Then comes another story, that of
conscious, sensitive life. Man is to nature
as whole what nature is TO the plant.
Now, how he reaches that is the problem OF
modern time. We suppose he reaches it 10y
process of upbuildiug. in which new ele-
ments are added as they are needed. Ills
moral nature is the highest. That requires
love supreme to God and impartial love tc
man. Therefore, as man is the crown OF
nature so his moral perfection is the crown
of man. Thus we have the perfect unity ol
man and nature. Revelation also works
toward the moral perfection of man, and
thus we have perfect unity between nature
aud revelation. They are both working
toward the same end. Thus we come tC
missionary ground on which we can stand
Now, in passing on to that, we understand
perfectly the step we take, how great it is
We leave behind us these men Of scienc,
and men of the world who say that natur,
is all. We accept these facts, and we re
joice at their labors, as far as they go; bu
we regret that they should have no appre

Christ's Religion.

To stand up for Jesus when it is costly /;
to be Bible Christians when the church and
world conspre to make the way to heaven
not an easy one to contend for the old doc
trnes of the apostles and prophets when it
occasions great reproach; to assume that
selfdenial and nonconformity to the world
are essentials in our religion to insist upon
the demonstrations of the Spirit with power,
and his attestation to his own work to de-
c,re that the old way of the cross is the
only way to Gods the special mission of the
few who walk in white. But to do this, re-
lying upon God, is to be in the furnace and
not feel the flame to be among lions, but
dwelling securely. 1t is coming to the Red
Sea, but finding path of power and walls
of protection. This is the miracle of Christ's
religion. Dying, we livei aud saving oul
lives, we lose them.-Seiected.

Prayer.

Has not the church almost to learn yet
what is the power of prayer? What con
ception have we of beiieuing prayer, before
which mountains depart What of perSe-
uering prayer, which causes us to stand con
tinually upon the watch-tower in the day
time and which sets us in our ward whole
nights What of imporundte prayer, which
storms heaven with its violence and force
What OF united prayer, gathering us together
to ask help of the Lord ? What of constan
prayer, which regards no iniquity in oul
hearts What Of practical prayer, which
fulfls itself Let such prayers be under
stood let our spirit but break with sucf
longing, and the expectations of our bosom'
shall not be delayed. "And it shall CONT

The Reason for IL.

Jennie June, in one of her gosspy letters,
undertakes to explain why it is that so many
young women marry elderly men. She looks
away from money-which has been so gen
orally brought into the calculation OF such
allances-for the principal reason. The
young man of to-day, according TO this au-
thority, is not the young man OF fifty years
ago; he is not thoughtful, sober, painstak-
ing and conscientious lac lives at club,
has no love for home-lie, nor desire TO build
up character and reputation as man and
citizen; his ideas OF lile are bounded by the
theatre and the doings of his little set, and
in too many cases his ambition is TO own a
racer, and be on intimate terms with the
ballet. Naturally, mothers shrink from in
trusting their daughters to such youths a.
these, even il they have the opportunity, aud
are better pleased TO bestow them on Older
men-men who know how little OF real value
there is in the temporary excitement OF pleas
ure who have, perhaps, been married once
aud have learned To value home and the guar
antee it affords for permanent happiness

DREAMING AT rouRscoRE.

She sits in the gathering twilight,
In her well-worn rocking-chair,

In the meshes Of her hair.

Who left her long ago.
And listens for the footsteps
Which the longing mothers know.
She hears them coming. coming
And her heart is all elate
Al the patter Of little footsteps
Down by the garden gate.
The clatter Of children's voices
Comes merrily to her ears,
And she cries. in her quivering treble,

And then they are here beside her
