'sLET THE MUD DRY FIRST. Here Is
capital lesson that may well be impressed
upon the memory Of both young and old
Mr.. Sturgeon, in walking little way out
of London to preach, CHANGED to get his
pantaloons quite muddy. A good deacon
met him at the door and desired to get a
brush and take off some Of the mud. ''Oh,
no." said Mr.. 49,, ''don't you see It is wet,
and If you try to brush it now you will rub
the stain into the cloth? Let it dry, when
it will como off easy enough, and leave no
mark" So, when men speak evil of US
falsely-throW mud at us-don't be in a
hurry about brushing it off. Too great
eagerness to rub it off is apt to rub it in.
Let it dry; by and by, if need be, little
effort will remove it. Don't foster scan
dial about yourself or others, or trouble in
society, or in a church, by haste to do
something. Let it alone; let it dry; it will
be more easily eradicated than you think
in the first heat of excitement. Time has
wonderful power in such matters. Very
many things in this world will be easily
got over by judiciously s'letting them
dry"

THE MORTAGED FARM.

six O'clock" said Marion Hilyard,
looking up suddenly as the tall, old fashion
clock in the corner rang out its shrill an
nouncement; "six O'Clock, and oh! mother
here is Jennev Lane. punctual to the very
moment. Now we shall have coed news
from Jack, hope.''
She ran out to the gate, flushed and ca.
ger to receive the letter from the country
carrier; and returning. seated herself ON a
low stool at her mothers feet, and broke
the envelope.
On the first glance of its contents a
shade of disappointment dimmed her
bright face"
Instead of reading the note aloud she
glanced hurr eddy over the brief lines. and
then silently, with quivering lip. placed
it in her mothers hand and turned aside
to window.
This is what Mr.. Hilyard read:
"Dear Modana-I saw your son a few
days since, when. to my surprise, he ex-
pressed himself reluctant to apply his mo-
ney to the redeeming of the mortgage, say
ing that he required it for speculation
which promises to be more profitable to
him than the holding Of the farm. Ihave,
therefore, been compelled to dispose of the
mortgage to gentleman of my acquain
lance, who purposes to take immediate
possession; and I consider it my duty
to inform you thereof, in order that you
may lose no time in making arrangements
for removal. Very respectfully.
ABNER HARRIS"
Mrs. Hilyard returned tho letter to its
envelope with trembling hand and daz.
ed, bewildered look, as though unable to
realize the blow which had 10 suddenly
fallen upon them.
Her eyes met Marion's, and the girl
threw herself upon her knees by her mo-
theirs side and burst into q passion OF
tears.
"Oh, mother, mother! what shall We dol
What will become of us?'
1.-THE Lord will PROVIDE" said Mrs. Hill
yard, raising her OVERLOOKING eyes to the
motto on the WALL embroidered by Mari
on's own hand. "Where is your faith, my
child, that it should fail you in this the
very hour of need?"
"Mother, it is not 30 much the less of
our home nor the poverty and trial in store
which grieves me. but that Jack your son
my brother should have 80 changed. Oh.
mother, know that our Father in Heaven
will not desert us, but to whom on earth
can We tufn when even Jack can become
worldly and heartless?''
At this moment little blue-eyed sirl
burst into the room with:

learned Brompton lectures and able arJi-
cles in the Quarterly Review are weigh
ed down by single matchless missionary
hymn. 1t came about in this wise:
While he was rector at the Episcopa-
church at Hodnet, Shropshire, hs paid a
visit to his IA her-in-laW, DR.. Shipley, the
Vicar OF Wrexham, on the border Of Wales.
On the next day, which was Sabbath, DR..
Slipley was to deliver a discourse in behalf
of the ''Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel in Foreign Lands" Knowing his
son-in-law's happy gift in rapid composition
he said to him: "Write something for US
TO sing at tho missionary service to-mor-
row morning" -,
Short notice that, for man to achieve
his Immortality. Heber retired to another
part Of the room and in little time pre-
pared three verses of the popular hymn
commencing:
"From Greenland's icy mountains"
DIR. Shipley was delighted with the pro-
duction, but Heber was not satisfied. 1.-THE
sense il not complete, p he said. In spite
of DR.. Shipley's earnest protest. Heber re-
tired for a few moments longer. and then,
coming back, read tho following glorious
bugle blast which rings like the reveille Of
the millenial morning; 81, o..
"Waft, watt, ye winds tho story,
And you, We waters, roll,
Til like a sea Of glory,
1t spreads from pole to pole!
ill DER our ranSOmed nature
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator.
In bliss returns to reign"
The next morning the people of Wrex-
ham church listened to the first rehearsal
# lyric which has since been echoed by
millions of voices round tho globe.
No profane hymn-tinker has ever dared
to lay his bungling finger on single syla-
bile Of these four stanzas, which the Holy
Spirit moved Heber to write.
