HopelessP Desperate for one ray

81 forgive them the rent" says Ann,
the washer-woman, 'and it's going on
five months now. Sure an they've
had but one meal day for the winter
long, and that a little oatmeal. If thsY
made few pennies shoveling snsst
now and then, would it be that would
take it and the children starving?''
Through those five dark months Ann
scrubbed and soaped and wrung; toiled
over the hot irons, carried home the
heavy clothes-basket, paying the rent
for those four families, consecrating to
them her little hard-earned capital,
keeping those husbands and fathers
back from God knows what extremity
of reckless despair and crime. How
Heavens brightness gilds and glori6es
that humble life. More of such a spirit
do we all need surely, amid this toiling,
suffering world; more of this sweet dis
traction from the self and loving atten-
ton to those around US. Thus will our
lives get into chime with the great heart
of Christ and become nobler.
We ought to be stronger than ne are.
Our wills ought not to be so much ike
reeds shaken even with the breath of
zephyr We should be steadier in duty.
We should be tirmer against tempta-

against bad habits. Weshould be more
thoroughly fixed in good habits. We
should be more panoplied with sol
dierly boldness in our contest for the
good against the bad. As.a.a.-5.
Surely as really as he called Moses
does God call us unto nobler life. Let
us put away our excuses as Moses did

fail us. He did not fail Moses. Midi

REST.

KNITTING, busily knitting
The dear old grandmother sits,
While through the window in sunshine
The lazy butterfly fits.
1t lights on the well-worn Bible,
And sways its beautiful wings,
While the good old grandmother ponders
And Sweetly, but feebly, sings.
The hollyhocks, tall and slender,
Stand close by the open door,
Like sentinels watchfui and tender,
Their shadows thrown on the floor.
The blossoms tempt bees by their sweet
And blush in the light of the sun,
While birds, in their nests mid the tree
tops,
Cease caroling one by one.
And now she has finished the knitting,
And thinking of far away lands
She watches the butterfly fitting,
And folded are grandmother's hands.
She dreams she hears little feet coming,
And all her faint pulses are stirred,
For loud DER the sound of bees humming,
The voices of children are heard.
They troop up the garden path gaily,
And rush through the doorway in glee;
But soon, in demure satisfaction,
Are seated by grandmother'S knee.
She tells them the old-time stories,
And presses them each to her breast,
Calls them "Grandmothers dear morning
glories,''
And no one knows which she loves best.
Her dreams change slowly to others
More sad and yet they are bright,
For three little heads are all shining
Above her, like angels of light;
And six little fair hands are reckoning
And a bright golden gate opens wide,
Where her dear old companion stands wait
ing;
And gladly she walks by his side.
And thus, sweetly resting, they found her
That day at the setting of sun
With halo of glory around her,
For grandmother's work was done!

Mid tree and vine.
Again, at noon, He came. My lips

He looked on me one moment-then

In irons were bound;
And the parched tongue could give for grief
No further sound.
Lone, and with sufferings oppressed,
I longed to die;
Gazed wistfui at the chosen toll

Oh, privilege to labor, strive,
BE worn and spent!
Oh, blessed to be footsore,
If on message sent!
At eve, amid His laborers,
The Lord drew nigh;
Fain had kissed His garments hem
AS passed He by.
A pause-His voice 1 heard give firm,
Yet sweet command:
Bear him upon the shoulder-yea,
UnlooSe each band!'

The Lord was nigh;
His hand my head upbore:
heaved no sigh,
But listened to the voice that said,
'Thou'r t not alone;
Thy meekness and thy tender love
To me are known.
" Angels within the mark et-place
Were ever nigh: ~
They to thy soul gave patience, as

Light were the toilers' pangS to those
Within thy breast!
Bear on, dark waves-bear on
To perfect rest!"

Swine in Summer.

mer, and never should unless we were
going to fatten before winter. As soon
as pasture is ready we should turn the
hogs in and let the pasture carry them
through until growing corn is ready to
feed them, which it will do handsomely.
But the pasture should not be crowded
that is, it should be allowed to get a
good start before any stock, and hogs
especially, are turned into it. Great loss
results from treading down the young,
tender plants before they have fully es-
tablished themselves; but when far
enough advanced all that is necessary
for hogs in addition to the pasture are
salt and plenty of water. We would salt
at least once day. Grain is worse
than useless; or, perhaps, a better ex
preston would be that it is not needed,
and feeding it is not only waste, but
in one sense it is injurious. If the ami
NAL has nothing but the pasture to de-
pend upon it will depend upon it and do
well, but where grain is fed the animal
looks for it, and it will not depend so
much or do so well upon the pasture. 1t
seems scarcely necessary to suggest that
shade is necessary, and yet hogs are not
always provided with it. 1t is down
right cruelty to expose a hog to the
burning sun of the summer days, es-
pecially when shelter from the heat can
be cheaply provided in so many ways.
Provide some place where the animal
can retire in the heat of the day. 1t will

heat, even whennotin the condition which
we call fat. 1t always has more or less
fat about it. 1t is natural for it to lay
on fat, and even when it is not getting
what are classed as fat producing foods,
as compared with other animals it is
fat; and the combining it during the sum-
mer to grass is partly for the purpose of
creating as little fat as possible and
building up foundation for pork in the
winter. But do the best we can, and
still there will be enough fat about the
animal to cause it to suffer greatly when
exposed to the heat. Some provision
should also be made for it to wallow.
Very often the belief prevails that it is
the love of the hog for filth that induces

greater mistake made. The hog does
not love filth; it is in fact one of the
cleanest animals in existence, if it has a
chance to be. The reason that the hog
seems filthy is because the owner is
filthy. The animal is kept and fed in
dirt, and to expect it to shun it when it
can not get away from it, is an absurd
ity, and is laying the blame where it
does not belong But mud, in the strict
meaning of the term, is not filth; and

tics.
The two magistrates and brother
clergyman were old, as nearly all men
in office were in those days, and their
eyes saw no strings either. So they had
a long talk, and decided Jonathan had
best be arrested and tried, lest he should
bewitch people next.
But on that day little Deliverance
Parker, the minister's granddaughter,
who lived out beyond the town, came to
make visit at her grandfather's, and
she was told by Dame Betty that she
must not play with Jonathan Winthrop
as she used to do, for he was witch,
and had bewitched their chickens. And
then Dame Betty showed her, as she
had many others, from behind the
blinds, Jonathan as he was plaguing the
poor fowls.
Now little Deliverance had sharp eyes,
saw the strings plainly, and took in thu
trouble at once; but Betty was so set
and stupid she could not convince her,
and they would not let her tell Jonathan
of his danger.
Fortunately matters came to crisis
this afternoon. The magistrates had
been waiting for Jonathan's father to
come home; but as he was kept so long
at Salem, they took matters in their
own hands, and brought Jonathan be-
fore quite an assembly in the minister's
study.
The poor boy was so frightened at all
the stern faces before him that he didn't
know what to say to the charge, and
grew so confused and flustered, they
believed him guilty at once.

Deliverance was so positive, and by
that time Jonathan had found his tongue
and both children explained the affair
so clearly, that the old magistrates
looked rather foolish, and dismissed the
case with reprimand to Jonathan for
wasting his time so foolishly. But
some good came of the boys prank

A GHOSTLY GUARDIAN.

A very curious Instance of u lifelong
ghostly guardianship came to my knowl-
edge few years before leaving France.
Ihad heard many circumstances relating
to it freely discussed aud commented on
long before | knew the parties. At
leugth tho introduction of mutual
friend brought me into Intimate acquain.
tance with two of the most delightful
people it was ever my lot to know. Mad
anna St. L., the widow ola French gentle
man of ralAi and fortune, and her sister,
Miss r., were two elderly ladies, we'll
known to q large circle of friends for
piety. benevolence and rare accomplish
ments. They lived in pretty chateau
with beautiful grounds. tho property of
the elder lady. They were daughters of
an English gentleman, whose extrava.
gauce had dissipated iarge fortune,
but at whose death they each came into
possession of a competence, which, hav-
ing been settled upon themselves, he
had been unable to touch.
Their acquaintance with their self
constituted guardian began, when they
were young girls and residing with their
father, Mr.. R., at a house close to the
paul Brique," which lies some miles
from Calais OF the road to Cuisines, part
Of that debatable land during the occu-
patton of Calais by the English, French
and Spaniards. On the site of Their
house had been in that farOtf time a
fortress which had been besieged, taken
and burned to the ground after the
slaughter of all in it, by a mixed army
of French and Spaniards. They were

Give mo man with an aim,
Whatever that aim may be,
Whether its wealth or whether its fame,
II matters not 10 me.
Let him walk in the paths Of right,
And keep his name in sight,
And work and play in faith away
With his cye on tho glitteIing height.
Give me man who says,
l will do something woll
And make the tlceting days
A story of labor toll.
Though tho aim he has be small,
It's better than none at all
With something to do the whole year thron'
He will not stumble or fall.
But Satan weaves n snare,
For the feet of those who stray,
With never a thought or n care
Where tho path may lead away
The man who has no aim
Net only leaves no name.
When this lito il done, but ten to one,
He leaves a record of shame.
Give me man whose heart
Ia filled with ambition fire.
Who sets his mark in the start,
And keeps moving it higher and higher.
Better to die in the strife,
The hands with labor rife,
Than to guide the stream in an idle dream,
And live puIpescless life.
Better to strive and to climb
And never reach the goal,
Than to drift along with time
An aimless. worthless soul.
Aye better to climb and fall,
Or SOW, though the yield be small,
Than TO throw away, day after day,
And never strive at all.
