My Mother.

l never left my mother in my life but
that she said to me, 81 want to live long
enough to see you come to your Lord and
to your Saviour" 1t was the conclusion OF
every separation, il was the burden of every
letter she wrote to me in her life. On one
occasion | was invited to deliver an address
in fremont Temple. The hall was crowded
and the interest intense aud at certain
point the whole audience rose to their feet,
surglng and swaying with cheers. As
stood there alone amid this wild outburst of
enthusiasm, l looked into the left gallery
and saw one pale, Unconditional face; it was
the face OF my mother. She is little woman,
and it seems as if could lift her in the
palm of my hand, but she had great love
and faith, and when | met her she said, 81
have given you freely, my sou, to the coun.
try, but oh, il | could see you stand there
and talk for your Saviour, | would ask
nothing more on this earth" Aud when |
took my stand | went home directly TO that
mother. | don't know as | can get on with
this part of the story, but you will all under
stand the difficulty. The stars in the skies
scarcely outnumber the prayers she had
given to her Father on my behalf and was
going home, the last one in her band of chill
dren, resolved to tell her that her Stviour
was my Saviour and her God was my God.
We were all there, an unbroken and re-
deemed family. She gathered me in her
arms as tenderly as when was helpless
child. There is o passage in Scripture,
Except ye be converted aud become as
little children ye shall not enter into the
kingdom of heaven" know what that
means. know what it is TO feel as little
child If my hairs are gray with the footballs
of time.-Generdi John l.. Spin.

Smooth the Road,

When the Italians paved some of those
paths by which we climb to their villages
they must have carefully turned each stone
with its most awkward side uppermost, for
they have the toughest of rough roads. One
is apt to think that we might have done bet
ter; certainly we could not have done worse.
In everyday life we meet with individuals
who appear TO turn the worst side upper
most in reference to everything; they mag
nifty difficulties, they discover imperfec tions,,
they create irritations, and in general they
make the worst OF everything. II an Ill
word can be said, they say it Il fault can
be found, they spy it out. Good souls, what
are you at Is there not enough of care
and sorrow in the world already Better
far would it be il half your ingenuity were
expended in smoothing the road, instead Of
wasting 1t all in making the way Of life
more stony than it need be-Selecied.

"Dr. Pitman hurt me to-day. He thinks
just as your husband does-that there is a
local cause for our being sick no much He
said that might thank myself for all our
sickness and trouble; and that no man
could be Christian and let his habitation

1T would be better to do it than to suffer
so much"
of it,"
Mr.. Tyler walked slowly home, meditating
upon the very mysterious Providence that
had singled out his family to bear so heavy
a cross.
There were no funeral services when Nelly
Tyler was laid away; aud two days later
Mr.. Tyler himself was stricken down and
before he rallied, his wife and youngest
child were carried to the cemetery to sleep
by her side. Il was broken household.
Out Of ten children only two were left
alive. The townspeople were much agitated.
The homestead of the Tylers was denounced
as unfit to be inhabited and the next
spring it was offered at auction. The
house was large and capacous, and the
farm fertile one, but no one wished it for
home and no one would make an offer for
it until one evening Mr.. Tyler offered it to
Mr.. Eden for less than half what it cost,
and 30 he sold it.
The very next day the new owner went
to work and cleaned the dense shrubbery,
trimmed up some of the trees and cut down
more, letting the sunshine into the musty
rooms, whose walls were covered with mil.
dew and mould of years standing. Next,
the cellar was cleansed, and the stopped.up
sink and cellar drains were torn out There
was deal of work in the job, but Will e.
den was man who accomplished what he
commenced and he made thorough work of
II, and left no place or corner uninvestigated.
He found the sink drain so clogged that the
refuse from it set back and emptied itself
into the well. The walls of the rooms were
scraped and newly papered; the woodwork
was newly painted; and lime and other dis
infectants were employed in the work. There
Is now no peasanter or more healthy resi-
| dence to be found. The curse of unceanliness
has been removed, and the overruling Prov.
idence has blessed the home that for years
was under the gloom of sickness and death.
Sunshine and purity are actual necessities
to life and health, as well as to happiness
aud no one can live without them Why is
it that so many people are neglectful, and
pay the penalty that follows 2-Country Gen.

The Door Was Shut.

Some time since a lady, leading two little
boys, entered the Grand Central depot, New
York city, and bought tickets for train
waiting in the depot. The door leading
from the waiting-room TO the train was open,
and passengers were hurrying through but
the lady fingered behind. At length the
porter, or doorkeeper, closed and locked the
door and left. Seeing it closed, she hastened
to it and tried to open it, but in vain. She
beckoned TO those standing on the platform
to open 1T for her, but they were as unable
to unlock the door as was she. Soon the
train moved off, leaving her behind. Taking
her little boys by the hand, she slowly sought
seat and sat down to weep. She had
missed the train, because she neglected TO go
when the door was open. Friends would be
waiting to welcome her, but to be disap-
pointed. She had told them that she was
coming she had made all preparations but
she waited until the door was shut. Many
who mean to go on a longer journey do as
did this lady. They make up their minds
TO be Christians. They take all the steps
necessary, except one They go to church /;
they study the Bible they understand the
plan of salvation but when the door Jesus
Christ is open, they do not pass through.
They are all ready only one thing more is
needed-Just to accept Christ; but they
wait 10 do that one thing. Christians are
expecting to welcome them to the Lords
table, and wondering why they do not come.
Christian friends on the better side are
listening to hear the angels rejoice as the
news is brought to heaven that they have
accepted Christ. But the expectation is
disappointed, the rejoicing is not heard.
They are waiting, they hardly know for
what but while they delay, the time goes
by; and some day the Saviour will wait no
longer to welcome them; the Spirit will
have gone for ever the door of mercy be
closed, and another and still another soul be
lost. Lost-not for lack of invitation, not
for lack OF the truth-not for lack of inten-
tlons to accept Chrst-but lost because they
fingered. To be almost Christian at last,
is to perish to miss heaven by a single mo
ment, is to reach hell; to put off for mo-
nent longer, is to risk all.-Seiected.

Novels.

Should people read novels is one of those
questions which it is as useless TO ask as il
is difficult TO answer in a satisfactory way.
People will read novels, whether they had
better do so or not. And as a rule, three
quarters of the novels are read by people
who ought to read books which give useful
Information, and threequarters Of the books
OF solid Information are read by people who
might derive benefit from reading a good
novel now aud then. The trouble with novel
reading comes chiefly from the bad or in.
different quality of the novels which are
read, which are worthless, il not worse. 1t
comes also, in large part, from the fact that
fiction constitutes almost the only reading
OF great and increasing class Of persons
who need actual knowledge and discipline
Of mind, and the more novels they read, the
less they are inclined TO read anything else.
Parents and teachers may try in vain to pre-
vent the reading Of novels, but they can and
should cultivate taste for reading other and
more useful works.--NeD York Epangeiisi.

The Old Folks at Home.

There is always liability, when sons and
daughters have gone away from the home of
their childhood, and have formed homes of
their own, gradually to loose the old attach.
ments and cease to paw those attentions to
their parents which were so easy and nat
ural in the olden time. New associations,
new thoughts, new cares, all come in, filling
the mind and heart, and, if special pains be
not taken, they crowd out the old loves.
This ought never to be. You should re
member that the change is with you, and
not with those you left behind. You
have everything new, much that is attrac.
tive in the present and bright in the future |;
their hearts cling to the past they have
most in memory. When you went away
you knew not and will never know till you
experience it, what it cost them to give you
up, nor what vacancy you left behind.
They have not if you have, any new loves
to take the place of the old. Do not, then,
heartlessly deprive them of what you still
can give of attention and love. Visit your
parents. If you live in the same place, let
your step be, perhaps daily, familiar one
in the old home; if you are miles, yea, many
miles away, make it your business to go to
them. In this matter do not regard time
nor expense; the one is well spent, and the
other will be fully, yea, hundred-fold re-
paid. When some day the word reaches
YOU, flashed over the telegraph, that father
or mother has gone, you will not think them
much, those hours of travel which last bore
you TO their side. Write to your parents
have known father and mother wait with
sick hearts through weary months, longing
that some word might reach them from an
absent son. They have watched the mails
till in despair they have ceased to expect
any more, and, while they may not have the
grief of great bereavement, they have,
what is almost as bad, the bitter conscious
ness that they are not kept in mind enough
even to call out few poor lines from one
whose infancy and early years they watched
with sleepless love. Sons are often guilty
OF that crime-l cannot call it less-from
sheer neglect or Incidence. While an hour,
perhaps few moments, would suffice to
write letter, which would give unspeak-
able satisfaction, they let months, and even
wears, slip away in utter indifference to all
the pain they are causing. o, how full is
many mothers heart of sorrow and fore
ooding, when Just few words from an ab-
sent son would fill it with joy and praise
such indifference or neglect is shameful and
wicked. Keep up your intercourse with
father or mother; do not deem it sufficient
to write when something important is to be
told do not say, No news is good news"
II It be but few lines, write them. Write,
II 1t be only to send the salutation that says
they are "dear," or the farewell that tells
them that you are affectionate still. The
little messengers shall be like caskets of
Jewels, and the tears that fall fondly over
them will be treasures for you. Say,
The hills may tower, the waves may rise,
And roll between my home and me
Yet shall my quenchless memories
Turn with undying love to theev

ROll-Call In Heaven.

An incident is related by chaplain who
was in the army during one of our hard.
fought battles. The hospital tents had been
filing up fast as the wounded men had been
brought TO the rear. Among the number
was young man mortally wounded, and
not able to speak. 1t was near midnight,
and many a loved one from our homes lay
sleeping on the battlefield the sleep that
knows no waking until Jesus shall call for
them. The surgeons had been their rounds
OF duty, and for moment all was quiet.
Suddenly this young man, before speechless,
calls in clear, distinct voice, Here |" The
surgeon hastened TO his side, and asked what
he wished. Nothing" said he "they are
calling the roll in heaven, and was answer
ing to my name" He turned his head and
was gone-gone to join the great army
whose uniform is washed white in the blood
of the Lamb. Reader, in the great rollcall
OF eternity, your name will be heard. Can
you answer T" "Ilere"Y Are you one of the
soldiers of Christ, the great captain of saliva
