THE MOON FROM A FROGS
POINT OF VIEW.

Upon time, in a certain valley,
where once flowed considerable stream,
the waters suddenly failed and the
stream died away.
Upon the unfortunate frogs who dwelt
there, in vast numbers, the hot summer
sun shone it fercest rays unhindered.
The waters dried away, and hundreds
of wretched frogs died on those scorch-
ing fields. Dying fishes gasped with
their last breath for drop of cool wa
ter, and joined their walls to those of
our suffering kindred.
At length, one old trout, who had
held out to the last, confessed:
Miserable l ! and wicked 1 have
caused this drouth And now l have no
pow er to remedy the evil | have done!"
At this all the frogs who were not
yet dead gathered around the tough old
trout, and listened to his words.
"That was an evil day." gasped the
speckled sinner, "when | poked my nose

who was hooking the whole fish tribe
in his usual dashing manner. "Catch
me. if you can !" cried, darting about
at my ease.

"But the bird beguiled me. He made
me believe that, if would only work a
little hole through that dam there, l
could descend with the escaping waters
to the stream below, and make my way
to the sea, where, as l heard. the fishes
were all kings, and ate nothing but dia-
monds for dinner.
81 enticed all the trout that I could
influence to assist me, and we wriggled
our noses into the gravel for long time,
apparently to no purpose.
..But, at last, little leak started,
and our water dripped away, drop by
drop; but not in sufficient volume to
carry US with it.

the shallow pools.
"And now, what the drouth had not
destroyed that tempter has gorged him.
self upon.
"'Oh-h-h! Boo-hoo-hoo r"
The frogs freely forgave him because
he cried.
But the problem remained, how was
the supply of water to be renewed.
At this juncture, an earnest, meek
eyed polliwog Topped feebly, and said:
'Show me the place where these waters
leak away"
Astonished at her manner, the sobbing
trout indicated the spot.
"Drag me thither by my tail" ex-
claimed the heroine, resolutely.
Then the frogs used their last remain
ing strength to do as she babe them,
and waited, in exhausted surprise, to
see what would happen next.
Goodbye T. wept the brave little
polliwog, wriggling with feeling, and
grooming some. ''lf any of you survive

myself in the breach p
With these farewell words she crowd

Presently, the stream began to rise
and the pools to I'll up. The frogs sal
knee-deep in water, and the fishes swan
upon their sides.
Day by day things improved, and the
fishes began to sit up in bed, while the
frogs were heard necessarily blessing

1t should be the policy of every dwell
er in the rural districts to encourage
diversity of business in each neighbor-
hood. to combine the agriculture of the
outlying districts with the manufactures
of the village. Patronize your neigh
bors, teach part of your sons some
systematic and practical method of earn
ing living by some trade in your own
vicinity, introduce trade and mechanical
business that will afford constant EN-.
ployment and incite remunerative indus
try among the people. Your true policy
is to build up the country towns, fur
nishing home markets for your produce,
allowing the cities to take care of them
selves, as they are well able to do.

Jesus, the chief Shepherd, even now
appears and meets with His own people,
as He did with his disciples of old. AS
they travelled with heavy hearts to En-
maus, Jesus Himself drew near, and in
quired what they spoke of one to anoth-
er as they walked and were sad. Jesus
loves His people to tell him their trou-
bles, even though He knows all; He
wants to be informed of the cause of
their grief, manifesting the deepest in
terest in their concerns. as One that
would advise, relieve, or help them. Such
humility He will display in his dealing
with His people now, although He has
entered into his glory.

EXPORT OF BREADsTUFFs.

Europe at peace is good customer
for our breadstuffs. Since the Berlin
settlement was made, the advance in
American wheat for export has been
very marked. Within two weeks the
winter grades have gone up about ten
cents bushel, and the movement of
grain to the continent is now almost un-
precedentedly great. The demand aris-
es from the short crops in Europe, and is
of that kind which may happen any
year on the continent, whether the ma
lions are at war or not. The unfavora-
BILE weather, more than the withdrawal
of any number of Russians from the
field during the late conflict, is the
cause of the scanty supply abroad. Not
long ago American spectators were
reckoning on the contingency of a gener-
al European war as the only thing that
would make foreign market for our
enormous wheat crops. They are now
surprised to see the same desirable event
coming about without such CONFUSION
preceding it. The present foreign de-
mand for American bread-stufs shows the
futility of calculation in such matters.
If ia a Lesson tn sneculators NOT To mt ton
much dependence on what they hear, and
never to pin their faith on the expecta-
tions of war, than which nothing is un-
certain. After all, it is Europe at peace
that buys the most of our various pro-
ducts, and is best able to pay for them.
For steady and profitable Customer,
commend us to nation that is not al
ways fghting.-N. 7. Journal Of Com.

The gospels make much of our Lords
prayers. Frequently he spent whole
nights in prayer. For each new scene
of trial he girded himself by prayer. He
understood the philosophy and the prac-
tice of prayer. SO that he could teach
others both its form and its spirit. His
Fathers public recognition of himself
and his work was given in response to
prayer while he was engaged in the act.
For the record of two such instances we
are indebted to Luke's gospel.

We know of no other way by which to
keep the love of the world out of our
heart, than to keep i'll our hearts the love
of God; and no other way by which to
keep our hearts in the love of God, than
building ourselves upon our most holy
faith. That denial of the world which
is not possible to him that dissents from
the Gospel testimony, is possible. even
as all things are possible, to him that
believeth. 10 try this without faith, is
to work without the right tool or the
right instrument. But faith worketh by
love; and the way of expelling from the
heart the love which transgresseth the
law, is to admit into its receptacles the
love which fulfilleth the law.

OUR WORK FOR GOD.

The errand on which God sends is al
ways a practicable errand, provided
there be sincere desire on our part to
accomplish the errand, to do the errand;
and in proportion to the effort demanded,
to the self-denial required, his author
ship of the message concerning the work
becomes more evident to the thoughtful
and reflective Christian mind. We usu-
ally judge in exactly the opposite way.
We say, "That is good work and l
can do it in minute; therefore, l will
do it; that is God errand for me. 1t is
good work, and can help it by a
little gift which never shall miss.
That is evidently Gods plan for me. :"
Thus we reason ali but Gods plan ex-
actly reverses that. He makes duty the
more obligatory the more difficult it is,
because for the development of Christian
patience he gives us the work to be done
by US. God can do his own work with
out us; and when one of the great teach
ers of the church have passed away, and
the Christian church tarrying behind
has felt that the horsemen and chariots
of Israel had gone from its sight forever,
and there was no more guardianship and
no more inspiration, God has raised up
others to take their places, or has carried
on his work with such signal and Illus
trious spirits to be leaders in it, to show
that he never depended upon any one
human soul. for the accomplishment Of
his plan. He carries them forward by
his own might as the ocean carries the
log, because of its own majesty and
buoyancy. God does not need our help.
Why, then, does he ask for it? Why
put us to the trouble of working fol
him ? why put US to the strain of giving
for him why put us to the long endur.
ance of patiently planning and waiting
that we may accomplish his design
Because thus he develops us. This is
not tests merely, but indictments, sti
mulants, means of instruction, to what
ever is best in US. The man who has
given himself to his country loves i
better; the man who has fought for hi
friend honors him more; the man wht
has labored for his community values
more highly the interests he has sough
to conserve the man who has wrough
and planned and endured for the accom-
plishment of Gods plan in the worlt
sees the greatness of it, the divinity ant
glory of it, and is himself more perfect
ly assimilated to it.-ReU. DR.. .Storrs.

A true Christian living in the world
is like ship sailing on the ocean. It
is not the ship being in the water which
will sink it. but the water getting into
the ship. So the world, with its love of
pleasure, getting into the hearts of
Christians has ruined its millions.

We do not know from what evils we
