CHE REDEEMED ME-"

The tears of slave girl, just going
to be put up for sale, drew the notice of
a gentleman as he passed through the
auction mart of a southern slave state.
The other slaves of the same group,
standing in the line, for sale like her.
self. did not seem to care abont it, while
each knock of the hammer made her
shake The kind man stopped to ask
her why she alone wept, and was told
that the others were used to such things,
and might be glad of a change from the
hard, harsh homes they came from, but
that she had been brought up with
much care by good owner, and she
was terrified to think who might buy
her. "Her price ?" the stranger asked.
He thought little when he heard the
great ransom, but paid it down. Yet
no Joy came to the poor slaves face
when told that she was free. She had
been born a slave, and knew not what
freedom meant. Her tears fell fast on
the signed parchment, which her deliv-
erer brought to prove it to her; she
only looked at him with fear. At last
he got ready to 60 his way, and as he
told her what she must do when he was
gone, it did dawn on her what freedom
was. With the first breath, 81 will fol-
low him." she said, 81 will follow him /;
will serve him all my days." And to
every reason against it, she only cried,
"He redeemed me he redeemed me /"
When strangers used to visit that mas
ter's house, and noticed, as all did, the
loving, constant services of the glad
hearted girl, and asked her why she
was so eager with unbidden services,
night by night, and day by day, she
had but one answer, and she loved to
give it, "He redeemed me he redeemed
me II Dear reader, do you know what
it is to be redeemed, not with silver and
gold, "but with the precious blood of
Christ, as of a lamb without blemish
and without spot? If you do, let not
the example of the poor slave girl be
lost upon you. Her master paid a
heavy price for her deliverance; your
Lord gave himself. .'And so, said the
servant of Christ, who spent night on
his journey in a Highland glen, and
told this story in meeting, where every
heart was thrilled, $50 let it be with
you. Serve Jesus as sinners bought
back with blood; and when men take
notice of the JOY that is in your looks,
the love that is in your tone, the freedom
of your service, have one answer to give,
He redeemed me ="

THE BREVITY OF LIFE.

To the young it does not seem short;
it seems very long. But as time passes
on, the aspect of life changes. The man
of forty thinks forty not nearly as he
thought when he was fourteen; fifty
appears to him but the prime of life;
sixty far from aged When, at length,
increasing years admonish him that his
life-work is ended, and that he can en-
ter on no new undertakings, and he
looks back to reflect on what he has
accomplished, he wonders to see so little,
and is amazed to find the road so short
in travelling, which appeared so long in
prospect. He then understands the as
he never did before the meaning of Scrip
ture. "Yes," he says to himself, lit is,
indeed, true. Life is as a tale that is
told, and as a dream when one awaketh."
the average length of human life is stated
to be thirty-6ve years. This average,
however, includes an estimate of all
those who die in infancy. The state
ment of the average life of healthy
man may be enlarged somewhat But
it is perfectly safe to say that it is not
over fifty years. Some live to three
score years, or even three score years
and ten, but more never reach the half
century. Of this fifty years. the first
twenty are taken in learning how to live.
Thirty years may be fairly accepted as
the average limit of the working life.
But no man works the full twenty-four
hours. Rest, recreation, food. sleep,
Sabbath, and the enforced idleness which
illness compels, reduce the period two
thirds. Year in and year out. eight
hours may be taken to represent the
working day. The working life, then,
is not thirty years it is but ten. And
OF these ten years how much is necessa-
rily absorbed by toll, by the gathering
of grain that dies in the harvesting, and
is never garnered into store houses
How much in getting clothing to be put
on and worn out, in getting food to be
consumed in use, in building houses to
crumble and fall into decay, almost as
soon as their owners? How much, too
of this time is lost in plans that come
to naught, in sowing What never ripens
in fighting battles that are defeats
When we have taken from our life what
time is necessary for preparation. wha'
is required for rest and recreation, anc
what is absorbed in failure and tran
silent success, the fragment that is lief
is very small.

STARTING PLANTS EARLY.

writer on gardening gives the following hints
on starting tender seeds such as tomatoes so uash
es melons and the like; 1t is desirable in trans.
plantlng,not to check the growth by disturbing
the roote. A good.way to avoid this is to scrape
out turnips fill them with good SOIL and plant in
tive or three seeds, setting them in warm, light
place and keeping them moist When the wealth
er is suitable plant them out In the garden at
proper depth. The turnip will decay and the
plant will thrive unchecked If properly cared for.
Do not use potatoes instead of turnips
Another method Is to use squares Of sod say SIX
inches wide, from good mellow soil; turn bottom
up and plant In them such seeds as SQUASH melon
or sweet corn, and treat them In the same way,
notputting out till the weather Is quite warm.
For more delicate plants flowers, etc., make
little boxes out OF writing paper or thick newspA
per, merely folding them at the corners as you
would the paper In covering book and tacking
them with needle and thread, making them about
three inches square and two deep. Fill with good
SOIL start the seeds and put them out at the pro-
per time, boxes and all, without disturbing the
roots To make assurances doubly sure you can
cut across the bottom OF the boxes.
