LINES ON THE DEATH OF A
FRIEND.
Her sun went down while it was yet
day;
Her fair sweet face was hidden away
Under the snow:
Oh, the bitter woe
That shadows their mourning to-day.
Say, does it ease the parting pain
To tell then her loss is but their gain?
All, no! All, no!
They feel it so,
But the wound is deep and all words
vain.
Only when time in the months to
come
Shall his healing lay on each sorrow
ing one;
When the grief of to-day.
Shall be soothed away,
And the souls trouble more calm be-
come.
Then, only then shall they clearly
see
That the father who lOVeth them
tenderly
Hath willed it so;
For their good they shall! know,
Where the treasure is, there the
heart will be.
In her home whose brightness would
dim the sun
The radiant form of their heart
cherished one
Could they but behold,
Though lonely and cold,
Seemeth earth, they would say ellis
will be done"
How, one by one, as they watch and
weep,
Drift our loved ones away over the
tideless deep;
And we hear not the song
OF the white .robed throng
Whose glau smiles Danish Deaths
dreamless sleep.

In another instant the Boreas plung-

Not a whisper was uttered now, but
the three men stared ahead into the

watchfulness, while the steamer tore
along. The Chute seemed to come
to an end every fifty yards, but al.
ways opened cut in time. Now. the
head of it was at hand. George tap

leadsmen sprang TO their posts, and

on the night air, and were caught up

Davis pulled couple. of ropes

and the gauge-cocks to scream.

"Quar-ter-her-er-less twain!"
''Eight and half!'
"Eight feet!'
HSeven and half"
| Another jingling of the little bells,
and the wheels ceased turning alto
lgether. The whistling of the steam
was something frightful now-it al
most drowned all other noises.
"Stand by to meet her!'
George had the wheel hard down
and was standing on spoke.
"All ready!'
The boat hesitated-seemed to
hold her breath, as did the captain and
| plots-and then she began to fall
r away to starboard, and every eye
e lighted.
ssNow then!-meet her! meet her ;!

SERMONS.

The following Seventeen Sermons
are from the pen of REV. J. Joshua
Jenning:"
The perfectly contented man is also
useless.
Try to see yourself through the
eyes of those around you.
The ideal saint of the young NOR
alist is cut from sappy timber.
The vigorous idea keeps warm
though wrapped in a few words.
Great power of acquisition is com
mon to mlIionaires and hogs.
Faith that asks no questions kills
the soul ard stiles the intellect
He who thinks poorly of himself
cannot win the respect of his fellows.
Happy is the man Mho has neigh
bors willing to forgive his mistakes.
Appear to be better than you are,
and aim to be what you appear TO be
Tie trouble with many communists
is, that their dead men refuse to be
buried
Only infdel wisdom is able to dis
tinguish the difference between some
men and beasts.
Man believes that to be lie which
contradicts the testimony Of his own
ignorance
The gilded calf, having wealth
without soul, finds more worShippers
today than in the days Of Noses.
He whose only claim TO the title
gentleman" is in his clothes, must
necessarily be careful what he wears.
Whether he is great or small, set
that man down for a fool who boasts
that ne does not read the local papers.
The Lord can more easily have faith
in the religion that wears an old coat
to church than the man in the coat
can.
II is better to arise from your knee
and shut your hens out Of your neigh
boris yard than to indulge in loud
prayers.
