Farnday's View of Death.

From Sunday Aftcrnoon.l

Lye Beyond.
From Sunday Afternoon.]
The loss of physical and mental power
caused Faraday to reflect more and more
on the great change and the hereafter. II
cannot think" he wrote, "that death has
to the Christian anything in it that should
make it rare or other than a constant
thought; out OF the view Of death comes
the view OF life beyond the grave. My
worldly faculties are slipping away day by
day. Happy it is for all of us that the true
good lies not in them. AS they ebb may
they leave us little children, trusting in the
Father of Mercics and accepting His un-
speakable gilt" Calling on a fellow direc-
tor at the Royal Institution, who was par
TALLY paralyzed Faraday said "You and
are waiting that is what we have to do
now; and we must try and do patiently"
To the Count of Paris who had invited
him to Twickenham, he wrote, 81 bow be-
fore Him who is Lord of all, and hope to
be kept waiting patiently for His time and
mode of releasing me according to His
Divine Word and the great and precious
promises whereby His people are made
partakers of the Divine nature" To an
other friend he wrote ~ have told several
what may be my own desire-to have a
plain simple funeral, attended by none but
my own relatives, followed by a grave
stone of the most ordinary kind, in the
simplest earthly place" When asked how
he was he answered, gust wating;" and
he sat at the window Of the house at
Hampton Court watching now the peo-
pie on the green, now the ever chang
ing beauty Of the clouds.

The Cnattainable.


We are always striving for the things
just out of our reach. The glittering
pleasure in the distance looks brighter
and tairer than anything we possess. The
friend who reaches out hand and offers
us his sympathy, is put careleSsly
aside, while VIC are eager to win the
friendship of those who have nothing
to give us but coldness. And the sun
shine of to-day is not so golden as that of
tomorrow will be, Forgetting or neglect
ing the small pleasures of life, which the
present holds for us ALL we look forward
10 the future, which is to bring us perfect
happiness.
When that future becomes present. we are
as far from happiness as ever. We must
not expect that the time will come to any
of US when happiness will be ours without
we forget the blessings that surround US
in the present--the word of sympathy,
the smile, the true friend, the sunshine,
and all the countless small joys Of today.
Tomorrow may bring unexpected pleas
ures, if we improve the present, But if
we neglect the golden opportunities of to-
day, it will hold nothing for us but re-
morse and pain
Let us then do our duty in the present,
nor try to crush the longing and aspira
ton in our souls which will not permit us
to be satisfied with the now, but urges us
on to something higher and purer. Life,
with its losses, and sad surprises, may
not be able to quiet this longing for that
which we do not possess. But somewhere,
we trust, when our souls have blossomed
into perfect beauty, the yearning will be
fully satisfied, and the now unattainable
will be ours to keep and enjoy with far
greater edjoyment than we are now capa-

There is no printers strike in Chicago,
but the papers there have serious provo
cation. One of them was recently made
to alIude to "the holy of holies" as "the
baby of babies" and another referred to
the panic-stricken citizens of Memphis
as "the prairie-chicken citizens" This
is almost as bad as the work of the tele-
graph in sending Taylor's "Heart of
Lea! Can this be dying?' over the wires
as "Heart of Lead Can this be lying?"
or the New Haven paper which, in pub
lishiug sermon, made the clergyman
cry, as there no barn in Guilford?'

Major Bacon's bill before the Georgia
Legislature excites much interest. BY
the provisions OF this bill the Courts must
drop all business to hasten through any
murder case that comes before it, and if
there be no Court in session the Judge
must call session and at once try the
case; it must then go direct to the Su-
preme Court, and there be affirmed OF re-
versed at once; if reversed, a new trial
must be had at once.

A few days ago singular discovery
was made at the residence of Mr.. Gustav
Kuhn, on Tenth street, above d. 1t had
been noticed, especially when any per-
sons were performing on piano, organ,
or other musical instrument, that there
were peculiar humming noises in the
chimney, something like singing in the
distance. One of the young men en-
ploycd at the store put his hand in the
pipe-hole to discover the source of the
mysterious noise, And pulling Out the
first thing that his hand rested upon he
was horrihed to find that it was a snake.
He ceased his investigations, but col
ored man was found who cssayed the
task of continuing them, and succeeded
in getting from the chimney, and killing,
five snakes.

Be SOCIAL AT HCME.-Iet par
ents talk much and talk well at
home. A father who is habitual-
ly silent in his own house may be
in many respects wise man. but
he is not wise in his silence. We
sometimes see parents, who are
the life OF every company they on
ter, dull, silent, uninteresting at
home among the children. If
they have not mental stores suffi
cient for both, let them first pro
vide for their own household.
Ireland exports beef and wheat,
and lives on pOtatOtS and they
fare as poorly who reserve their
social charms for companies
abroad, and keep their dul!ness
for home consumption. 1t is
better to instruct children and
make them happy at home, than
it is to charm strangers or to
amuse friends. A silent house is
a dull place for young people-a
| place from which they will escape
if they can. They will talk or
think of being ''shut up' there ;
aud the youth who does nat love
home is in danger.

Little Feet.
BY FLORENCE PERCY.


Two little feet, so small that both may mes
In one caressing hand
Two tender feet upon the unfricd border
OF lile's mysteri JUS land.
Dimpled, and soft, and pink as peach tree
blossoms.
In April's fragrant days.
How can they walk among the briery tan
giles,
Edging the worlds rough ways
These rose-white feet along the doubtful
future
Must bear woman's load;
Alas since woman has the heaviest burden
Aud walks the hardest road.
Love for awhile will make the path before
All dainty, smooth and fair
Will Gull away the brambies. letting only
The roses blossom there.
But when the mothers watchful eyes are
shrouded
Away from the light of morning.
And these dear feet are left without guide
Who shall direct them then
How will they he all,ired. betrayed, delu-
Poor l:ttle un.aught feet !
Into what ttreary llazes will they wander
What dangers will they meet
Will tn v 20 stumbling blinaly in the dark
n %,o, FIJI
Or find the upland slopes OF peace and
beauty,
Whose sunlight never fades
Will they 60 toiling up ambitions summit,
The common world above
Or in some nameess vale. securely sheltered
Walk side by side with Love9
Some feet there be which walk life's track
unwouuded.
Which find but pleasant ways
Some hearts there be to which this life is
only
A round of happy days,
But they are few. Far more there are to
wander
Without a hope or friend,
| Who find their journey full Of pains and
losses,
And long to reach the end,
| How shall it be with her, that tender strar

| Fair-taced and geutle-eyed,
Before whose ,lnstained feet the world

Stretches SO strange and wide
All who may read the future ? For M.

And pray that He who feeds the crying ia
Will guide the baby's feet.

WERE RlGHTED.-We take the
following admirable little story
from "The Cruise of the Gipsey,"
as it appears IN the Scottish Gal
loway Gazette. In it we recog-
nize the hand Of an old friend,
who, though his hair is gray and
his name is Hay, has heart still
fresh with summer verdure:
''lt Is a true story, and l acted
part in it myself. Once on a
time there was good old man
living in Kilmarnock, We'll say.
His back Was bent, his step Was
slow, aud men, who gazed upon
his snowy locks and wrinkled
face, whispered to each other,
'He is a good old man who has
not got long to live.' The old man
had been we'll off in his day, but
when he. found himself on the
shady side of life, wife dead, and
home broken up, he said to H. s
only son, sAere William, take all
l have, aud let your home be my
home until l die.'
'The son took the papers you
bet he did-and the father was
given a cozy corner, big arm
chair, and a briar root pipe. All
went we'll for year OF so, and
then the son and the sons wife
began to make it uncomfortable
for the nice old man i'll the corner
They threw out hints, deprived
him of his comforts, and one colo
day in winter he was told that he
had better go to Halifax, Nova
Scotia. The old MANS heart was
sore as he went out into th.
world to battle against hunger
and cold. and when night came
he covered in a doorway ant
wept like child.
Il was returning from sOm'
meeting or another, and was ar
rested by loud sobs, aud think
ing it was some of the usna

sWhat's all that chin music about,
but when l got there knew
