Many husband has said, Don't ask
my wife to do anything for the church, or
the missionary society, or the temperance

and he tells the truth But if the hus-

her all to fashion and show.
Month after month, and wear after wear,
the worldly women Of the church toll on

and their children, till heart and flesh fail
and an untimely grave covers them out

When we look about we are grieved to

But it is not surprising. Ii from infan-

Old Folks.

eternity.

Do the yomss >apie ever think that
they will be old that they will soon feel
that the grasshopper is burden and fear
is in the way2 Only few short years
ago that aged man and feeble woman
were young, strong and full Of life; their
loving hearts were gushing with tender
ness and care for the little ones, who now
stand in their places.
DO not Jostle that aged couple out Of
your pathway, but rather lift them with
tender care over the rough, declining
road. You may have forgotten how
carefully they kept your tender feet from
stumbling, and with what care they
watched your advancing steps. But they
have not forgotten, and the time will
come when YOU will be iorcibly reminded
of it, by the love you have for your own
little ones. Will they ever hand you the
same bitter cup to drink that you pour
out for that aged father and stricken
mother2 Verify, "with what measure ye
meet, it shall be measured to you again"
Think of the anxious days and nights
your mother has watched by your sick
bed; remember her loving care; her pa
tience and long suffering with your tret-
fulness, and then let the blush OF shame
dive your brow, that you should be i'm
patient or unkind to her. now that she is
old. Old folks are such trial! Yes,
they know it; they feel it! and SO will you
be such a trial 10 your children in the
days that will surely come; ay, and you
will remember, too.
