POETsCAL SELECTIONS.
Eoneward.

The day dies slowly in the western sky;
The sunset spiendor fades, and waa AMI cold
The far peaks wait the sunrise, cheer.ly
The coatherd calls his wanderers to Their fold !;
NV weary soul, that fain would cease 20 roam
Take comfort, evening bringeth al things
home.
Homeward the swift-winged seaguil takes its
fight;
The ebbing tide breaks softly on the sand;
The suniit boats draw shcreward for the night;
The shadows deepen over sea and land.
BE still my soul, thine hour shall also coma
Behold, one evening God shall lead the home.

A MINISTER'S THANHFULSESS. -

A MINISTERS THANKFULSESs. Rev.
Mr.. -, after sev-ral years of married
life, was at last blest, upon Saturday,
by the addition Of fine boy to his fami-
" circle, which had hitherto consisted OF
himself and WIFE Upon the same day
the church at which he officiated received
a timely and much needed donation, over
both of which events the reverened gen.
tleman was very much elated, as he COM
municated them to members of his con-
gregation on his way to church on Sun
day. 1t chanced that in his prayer he al
luded TO the financial event by returning
thanks "for the arrival of little succor, .
and was consequently much seandalized
when couple of students in his congre-
CATION asked him, after service, whether
he referred to the money or the baby.
