gathering, out of sight and out of hearing, Of
those who have assembled TO call upon God
in the privacy of some Christian house and
there angelic vision discerns the center of at
traction, the "mystery which they desire TO
look into,P because there they discover the
real origin of the blessing, which we whose
"eyes are holden " are attributing with
our noisy applause TO more demonstrative,
and perhaps tempestuous forces. Over and
over again, doubtless, prayer has really
achieved the things which men have ascribed
TO war, to science, to civilization, TO litera-
ture, to the march of intellect. Praying
men and women aud children have often
really wrought the results for which the
world has exalted statesmen and heroes.
Yes, it is profoundly true that things unob-
served OF men are the great things with God.

A New Heart.


An anecdote was published many years
ago concerning the Indian chief Teedyus-
cung, king of the Deawares. "One even
ing he was sitting at the freside of friend.
Both of them were silently looking at the
fire, indulging their own reflections. At
length the silence was broken by the friend,
who said, Il will tell thee what have been
thinking of. | have been thinking of a
rule delivered by the author of the Christian
religion, which, from its excellence, we call
the Golden Rule Stop said Teedyuscung,
don't praise il to me, but rather tell me
what it is, and let me think for myself
do not wish you to tell me of its excellence; /;
tell me what it is.' 1t is for one man to do
to another as he would have the other do
to him.. That's impossible. 1t cannot be
done Teedyuscung Immediately replied.
Silence again ensued. Teedyuscung lighted
his pipe and walked about the room. In
about quarter of an hour he came to his
friend, with smiling countenance, and taking
the pipe from his mouth said, Brother,
have been thoughtful of what you told me-
If the Great Spirit that made man would
give him ne,o heart, he could do as you say
but not else Thus the Indian found the
only means by which man can fulfill his So
cial duties"

A Bible Picture.

Once a king, in crossing the desert in
long caravan, was parched with thirst.
Dreadful is that dry and thirsty land where
no water isl The sands were strewn with
the wrecks of caravans the skeletons of men
who had died of thirst lying in that ceme-
terry; and then the cry arose "Water,
water there is no water !" II was fearful
moment. Parched throats and eyes hope
lessly looked up to the all-too-cloudy sky
along the plain overhead the red.hot cop
per sun. Then said one ave must lei
loose he hdrts, the light fleet harts." They
bounded in all directions Keen in their in
stinetive scent of water, the spring was
found and aiterward, when they sat to rest
beside the beautiful and blessed pool, said the
king, as he took forth his tablets and wrote
"As The hart panteM after The waierJrooks, so
panteM my soul after hee, o God"

The Heart-LOck.

A lock was shown to Gotthold, constructed
of rings which were severally inscribed with
certain letters, and could be turned round
until the letters represented the name of
Jesus. 1t was only when the rings were dis
posed in this manner that the lock could be
opened. The invention pleased him beyond
measure, and he exclaimed "Oh that |
could put such lock as this upon my heart"
Our hearts are already locked, no doubt, but
generally with lock of quite another kind,
Many need only to hear the words gain,
honor, pleasure, richness, revenge, and their
hearts open in a moment whereas TO the
Saviour, and to his holy name, they con-
tinue shut.
Take my poor heart and let ii be
Forever closed 10 all but thee;
Seal thou my breast, and let me wear
That pledge Of love forever there

W0man's Voice.

No matter what other attractions woman
may have; she may be as fair as the Trojan
Helen, and as learned as the famous Hypa-
tia she may have all the accomplishments
considered requisite at the present day, and
every advantage that wealth can procure,
and yet if she lacks a low, sweet voice, she
can never be really fascinating. How often
the spell of beauty is rudely broken by
coarse, loud talking. How often you are ir-
resistibly drawn to plain, unassuming
woman, whose soft, silvery tones render her
positively attractive Besides, we fancy we
can Judge of the character by the voice the
bland, smooth, fawning tones seem to be-
token deceit and hypocrisy as invariably as
the musical, subdued voice indicates genuine
refinement.

Integrity of Character.

Young men should be deeply impressed
with the vast Importance of cherishing those

rassments and exigencies into which he is
thrown. The young may thus possess a

The Power Of Annette.

John B. Cough, at the recent New Eng
land Temperance Convention, in Boston, re-
ferring to the question of the taking away
of the appetite for strong drink. said
They had been told from that platform
that if man got the grace of God in his
heart, it took away his appetite. He (he
speaker) would not speak slightingly of the
wonderful, ilimitable infinite power of the
grace of God; but while one man might
have that appetite taken away from him,
there was another man who might have the
appetite left in him. When Paul prayed
that the thorn might be removed out of his
flesh, his prayer was only answered by My
grace is sufficient for thee If he (the
speaker) had only grace in his heart, it
prompted him to pray, Lead me not into
temptation In answer to the question from
Mr.. Moody whether his appetite for liquor
was wholly removed, Mr.. Sawyer the tenn
perace apostle from Chicago, remarked that
he shouldn't wish to put it in that way
exactly, but would rather say that God had
so coCered up his appetite and propensity
for drink that it was as if he had none. We
are glad to hear this statement. 1t is by
Tar the better way of putting the case. II
is often true that a reformed man feels
something of his old appetite, but if he
walks with Tod he may be sure that II VIII
be kept so covered up as to enable him
to control it, even in the hour of special
temptation. We were told of one sad case
in Boston where IA reformed man, who had
publicly stated that his appetite was all
taken away had already fallen back into hi
old habits. While the grace of God gives new
hearts, it does not work miracles in giving
new stomachs, and these redeemed men.
many of them, will need to go forth in the
sentiment of the tune so often sung at theil
meetings, | need thee every hour Any
'ther spirit is presumption, and not faith.
Christ prayed for his disciples, not that they
'hould be taken out of the world, but thai
they should be kept from the evil; and it i,
AS much to his glory, and as great an ex
hibition of his power that these redeemed
men should be kept from the evil as thai
the appetite should be wholly suppressed"

food Advice.

If your seat is hard to sit upon, stand up,
If rock rises up before you, roll it away,
or climb over it. If you want money, earn It.
1t takes longer TO skin an elephant than a
mouse, but the skin is worth something, If
you want confidence, prove yourself worthy
OF it. DO not be content with doing what
another has done-surpass it, Deserve sue
cess, and it will come. The boy was not
born man. The sun does not rise like a

II sang TO me In my happy childhood,
And the song was merry, merry Lays

OF love that my heart will remember,
Though now 'iis u Thing Of the past.
II sang to me In my womanhood
And the song was tender and true;
The song, II you know a mothers love.

And now that my work is done,

And read In the Holy Book.
