Flowers not on the Coffin.


1t has become burdensome this giving,
frequently with the feeling that they are ex-
acted from you, OF " floral tributes as the
reporters call them, when one OF your friends
dies. The custom IN Its origin was beau
tiful one. What sweeter than to bring these
products OF the wildwood or garden, and
strew them upon the coffin of one passed to
the everlasting gardens = 1T is a pleasant
custom still in the country, where you can
pluck the clusters OF bloom and bear them
to the dead. But 1t has become the veriest
farce where they are ordered as by wholesale
from the florist, to be sent, with card indi
eating the donor-that must not be forgot
ten-to the house of mourning. They are
1" floral tributes with an emphasis, to-the
length OF purse OF the sender, or his pride,
or the imperative pressure of social require,
ments. But II ! were you, would
not wait till the pastor is cold in death to
put some flowers in his way. Mr. Warden
Busyman, you would send to that funeral a
broken shaft made OF calnelias. 1t would
be costly and beautiful. You can give flow
ers that will be more appreciated, as you say
word of honest appreciation, as you mani
fest kindly disposition TO cooperate with
your pastor in the good he is trying to do,
as you make him feel that he has his p ace
in your heart and IN your prayers. Mrs

The Slipper Pattern.

There are some people who do not like to
read morals to stories; in fact, who do not
like to look or think upon the moral and
practical part of life. They would skip it
If they could, just as they do the same part
of stories. 1t you belong to this class,
reader, you may as well turn to some other
article, for this story is all moral; in fact,
no story at all, only thoughts that | actually
did think, transferred to paper. am work
ing pair of slippers or rather filling in
black worsted around the pattern which is
worked upon the canvas. A few moments
ago thought, "Why am | working in this
black ?" An apparently foolish question,
isn't it ? This is a beautiful pattern The
colors are blended so harmoniously that it
is pleasant to look at them. But how much
the whole is improved by the black worsted,
worked in around the edges, and in the
spaces around the flowers. Without it,
though the pattern is beautiful, and the
colors rich, yet the design seems incomplete.
With it the design is complete, the colors
softened aud rendered more pleasing to the
eye, and the pattern, as a whole, greatly i'm
proved Without it the coarse meshes OF
the canvas are visible; they present no
beauty and they add none to the pattern,
the very flowers and vines of which seem
unnatural and i'll at ease. With it the
meshes are filled and thus concealed FROM
view, and the flowers with their little buds
by their sides. seem to be reposing upon a
soft bed. So it seems necessary to have the
black worsted to make the rest more beauti-
ful and perfect in the whole. Is there some
black worSted worked into our lives There
are lives beautiful in themselveS-tha is,
composed OF fine feelings and qualities
but they need affliction; they need trials
crosses, disappoiutments aud hours of dark
ness to soften and beautify them. We often
wonder why we have some veXation, some
trouble come to us, just when we feel buoy
ant and happy; but we ought not to wonder
when we think il is God, the great work
man, drawing black worsted into our lives
We are in His hands. lie formed us, and
not we ourselves. He knows what is best
for us. He knows that we need some dark
hours that we may prize more highly anC
better improve the bright hours. God is {
skilful workman. He never makes any mis-
takes. He never puts in black threaC
when it is not necessary. do not work ol

can see just what to do, and lie always doe
it in the best time, God sees that we shal
be improved by trials. He sees that we nee'

patient, then, and feel that we are in God
hands, and though He draws black thread
through our lives, yet He does it tender
and carefully, and for the purpose of max

Him should not perish, but have everlasting

At Ii, and Always at II.

This is the law of good work God Him
self rewards the worker by giving him more
to do. 1t is the inactive man who cannot do
another stroke The busy man can always
add to his labors; for he acquires power in
doing, and gets force for work by working.
Unused tools rust Work keeps them bright.
DO not part with the sovereign you are now
asked TO give, and you hold the next with
tighter grip, and the third will stick to your
soul and become "a part of it, and you will
die with it burning into the marrow Of your
bones. As long as you live, work. Moses
did his best in his last forty years. Paul
said his best and sweetest words when he
was "aged." The righteous bring forth
fruit in old age, Change your work in its
form il need be, but keep at it. You have
experience, ripeness, grace, culture, which
all the energy in the world cannot buy.
Young people, work wisely, thoughtfully,
prayerfully, hopefully, but work. BE not
afraid of discipline for service, Care more
about efficiency than fame; and be more
anxious to please God than men, Christ
Himself is the pattern worker, and lie was
always at His work, saying, " must work
the works of Him that sent me while it is

A Practical Joke.

A young man of eighteen or twenty. a
student III a university, took walk one day
with a professor who was commonly called
the students friend, such was his kindness
to the young men whom it was his Office to
instruct. While they were now walking
together, and the professor was seeking to
lead the conversation to grave subjects, they
saw pair of old shoes lying in the path,
which they supposed belonged to poor
man who had nearly finished his days work
The young student turned to the professor
saying, Let us play the man a trick. We
will hide his shoes and conceal ourselves
behind these bushes, and watch to see his
perplexity when he cannot find them"
My dear friend" answered the professor,
eve must never amuse ourselves at the
expense of the poor But you are rich,
and may give yourself a much greater
pleasure by means of this poor man. Put a
crown piece, if you have them, in each shoe,
and then we will hide ourselves" The
student, luckily having two crown pieces, did
so, and then placed himself, with the pro
feSsor, behind the bushes hard by, through
which they could easily watch the laborer,
and see whatever wonder or Joy he might
express. The poor man soon finished his
work and came across the field to the
path where he had left his coat and
shoes, While he put on his coat he slip
ped one foot into one of his shoes. Feeling
something hard he stopped down and found
the crown. Astonishment and wonder were
upon his countenance. lie gazed upon the
crown, turned it round, and looked again
and again then he looked round on all
sides, but could see no one. Now he put
the money in his pocket aud proceeded tc
put on the other shoe but what was hi,
astonishment when he found the other
crown His feelings overcame him. lie
fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven
and uttered loud and fervent thanksgv
ing, in which he spoke of his wife sick anC
helpless, and his children, who by some un
known hand would be saved from perishing
The young man stood there, deeply affected
and with tears in his eyes, Now" sale

than if you had played your intended
trick ~ "Oh, dearest sir" answered tn,

Twice a DAY.-On the rocks by the sea
shore have seen marine creatures living
when the tide was out; not in the bring
pools it leaves, but on the dry and naked
rock-in the wthering air-in the burning,
broiling sun, They lived, because, when
twice each day the foaming tide came in,
and, rising, covered the rocky shelf they
clung to, they opened their shut aud shelly
mouths TO drink in water enough to last
them when the tide went out, and until the
next tide came in. Even so, twice day
also at the least, are we TO replenish our
thirsty souls--fll our emptiness from the
ocean of grace aud mercy that flows free and
full in Christ, TO the least of saints and chief
of sinners. In Him dwelleth all the God
head bodily.-Dr. Guthrie.

So Oft. and so soft, and so sweet singest thou2
BY thy sleeping mate thou art not heard
And the winds the darkness roughly plow
No star gleameth down In smile on thee,
And God and only thy listeners be
And Ne could hear an unsung tune
Is thy voceful song for me aome2
All, thou art Gods angel-blrd to me
As the raven brought bread to Elijah Of old,
SO, oft rs the night draweth song from thee,
Thou brlngest Gods comforts To my soul.
Me. sleeplcss and tossing with anxious care,
Thou lurest to think Of the God above,
howatcheth Ills creatures everywhere,
And for bird and man hath faithful love.
So the winds may howl and the stars hide their light
Sing on. sweet bird with all thy might,
God kecpeth thee and me In sight.
And through thee giveth me His songs in the night
