Ones Mother.

Around the idea of ones mother the MUD
of man clings with fond affection. 1t is the
first dear thought stamped upon our infant
hearts, when yet soft or capable OF receiving
the most profound impressions. and all the
after feelings are more or less light in COM
parison. Our passions and our wilfulness
may lead us from the object of our filIal
love; we may become wild, headstrong and
angry at her counseIs or opposition, but
when death has stilled her monitory voice.
and nothing but calm memory remains to
recapitulate her virtues and good deeds. af-
lection, like flower beaten to the ground by
q rude storm, raises up her head and smiles
amidst her tears. Round that idea. Is We

4 Up the Baby.

Just at dusL2 fne other dismal day three
children, the oldest of whom did not seem
over 10 years old, were huddled together on
the rickety steps of an old house on Beau
heads to read the number on the door. aud
the children looked so frightened that he
asked:
Children, where are your father and mo-
Their"
Fathers been gone way off for ever so
long, and mother goes out to wash, and hasn't
got home yet" answered the eldest, girl,
''And you are all alone?'
"Yes, sir: but baby is in on the bed. He's
been asleep en- awful long time, and we can't
wake him up. If we could, we would play
hide and seek. and let him find u.s."

Sandy never moved once. guess he is aw-

him up?r

and when the girl had lighted the lamp he
was neither carpet nor furniture. Pushed
back against the broken wall was a poor old
straw tick and single quilt. He bent over
to look at the child, and the first glance
showed him that little Sandy was dead. On
the window sill were some pieces of bread
and cup of milk which the children in
tended to feed him. The dead child's hand
clasped rag doll made of an old calico
apron, and its thin little feet and pale face
were evidences that it had known sickness
and hunger throughout its brief l:fe. While
the children waited for him to open his
eyes and romp with them and drive the
gloom ont of the house. the angels had
whispered to him and his eyes had Enclosed
to behold the splendors of Heaven.
Wont he wake up?" asked one of the
children, standing back In the shadow.

For her my bosom dire was swelling,
Her pictured sweetness stole my sleep
know, therefore, my love was deep.
On tinted cloudlets, resting soft,
She f1oated near in fancy oft,
Fed by the gods, on nectar still,
Oh, bliss? To pay no grocers bill.
We two were wed, and then found
In No. SIS she walked the ground,
And If the gods had fed before,

A CONVERTED MANI once knew
q man in the State of Virginia who wa:
terribly afflicted with penurlousness-
unconsciously to himself-sefore his
conversion, but painfully evident tc

him sadly. He prayed, and fought and
acted against it constantly. His hearts
delight was his we'll stocked smoke
house. where hams, shoulders, and
bacon hung in systematic rows, and
shone like polished walnut. Gem
mittees had often waited upon him. in
his unreenerated state, for contribu'
tons for their pastor but all to no
avail; they could not opeu the old mans
heart, nor open the smoke@house door.
After he had shown many other evil
dences of change, they ventnred to
approach him on this tender point, and
asked for a ham for the new pastor. He
repaired at once to the smeke-house, and
selecting one of the best, after closing;
the door and almost reaching the
solicitors, he laid it dswn on the ground
and hastily returned, bringing another.
Once more he hesitated as if about to
return for a third, and was heard to ex-
claim There now, you old stingy devil,
if you don't stop. I'll give away every
ham I've got in my smoke house,
That man was evidently converted.

True Thrift

Some Of these whs are emphatic in
their recommendation Of thrift, as q
wise provision against want and dis
tress. are themselves lacking in that
more important form of thrift which
consists in 'redeemlng the time.' The
rich fool mentioned by our Lord, in
the parable recorded by St. Luke, was q
thrifty man, so far as his worldly in
teress were concerned. He had made
timely and abundant provision tor
future years. And, so far, he was
right. But then he had utterly neglec-
ted the chief thrift ofall. He made no
provision for the long hereafter. lie
was an absolute pauper as to practical
recourse to God for the salvation Of his
soul. He had locked after his body, as
if he were merely a brute animal. But
he was blindly ignorant as to the future
of his spiritual being. he had made
no effort to be rich towards God 1.-THE
only abiding riches) rich IN the habits
of humility and PRAYER and faith rich IN
the love of Christ, rich in the COM
nunion of the Holy Spirit, rich IN the
knowledge Of the Holy Scriptures. AS
20 these, the true riches, he was a
destitute paaper at death. Hence he
is known universally by the name oi
Rich Fool. And, as such, he still has
a vast posterity. For many ot the
thrifty ones as to this life are utterly
impreyident for eternity. This ia groS:
folly. It's as ifa steamer should start
on a voyage round the world with only
a supply OF food and fuel to last her
crew for one day.
Even so, that is not the true thrift
which caresafor the brief space remaln'
ing of this lite only, and neglects 70
make provisions for the lnduite periods
of the life to come. Yet God has gwen
abundant promise ofreward for all such
efforts. AS it is written, Whatsoever
good thing any man d0eth, the same
shall he receive OF the Loed.' And God
repays with most manifold additions.
What earthly investments are 50 relIa'
BILE? Yet, personal advantage great as
it may be, is quite an inferier consider
alton, when compared with the 'nhnlte
claims Of Christ's loye upon the grate'

A story of faith and charity from
Russia: Not long since a Government
.unctionary died in St. Petersburg in ut
ter destitunon, leaving without friends
or relatives two small children, enc OF
whom was a boy about seven years old.
Alone, moneyless, fOodless, with little
sister crying for bread, he wrote on q
piece of paper as last resort the Pc
tition: please, God, send me three CO.
pecks to buy my little sister roll.'-
This he carried to the nearest church
to dropi it into an alms-boI and start 1t
on it. way to heaven. A passing priest
seeing him try to put the paper IN the
box, took it and read it, whereupon he
carried the children to his house, fed
them and clothed them. The next
sunday he preached sermon on
charity, in which he alluded to the
Incident. The collection that followed
amounted to nearly 1000.

asleep and didn't know what might
happen; but never in the morning,
because any bright boy can take care OF
