HOn,e.

How sweet the tone of that little mono
syllable, so fraught with love and tender
ness, and every emotion expressive of the ties
and joys of kindred But how rarely do
we appreciate the blessings of home while
it is ours Going home p cries the wearied
traveller; and the thought Of that home,
like some guiding star, sheds a radiance
over his lonely path. Whether it be through
the wild, unceared forest, the savannahs
solitudes, or upon the mountain glacier
wherever the wanderers steps may stray,
his heart, as the magnet to the pole, turns
toward that much-loved dwelling.place. See
the ship on her returning track-homewar
bound What magic in those words to
the storm.tossed mariner Even through
the beacon's flash, reflected on the oceans
waves, he beholds the little ray from dis.
tant cottage window-the seaman's home.
The loved home-faces SO far, so far away
as they met the dying gladiator's eyes, the
crowded arena was but blank, whilst the
tones of the dear home-voices softly blended
with his last sigh, when the hoarse sounds
OF the clamorous multitude were no longer
heard. Ah fair maiden in your bright
loveliness, and you, proud, manly youth,
some day you may roam afar TO other homes,
but the old roof-tree of your chldhoods
years will ever be dearest. Not yet, in the
flush of triumph and success, whether won
by beauty or earned by renown, but when
sorrows and disappointments cloud your sky
when the flowers have faded and the lau-
rels withered-then will the memories of
" the old house at home be more precious
than all the world can offer. But, ah, the
sad stories we too often read of wretched
dwellings, where strife and cruely, and
crime, and, above all, the demon of intem-
perance, hold their sway--from whence the
little child goes forth, at midnight, plead.
ing, "Father, dear father, come home !"
and oftimes pleads in vain. Alas that such
ing the sacred name of home mockery and
a scorn Let us turn the dark page, and
glance through those glowing windows upon
a group assembled around the cheerful
hearth, the light from the blazing logs and
pine cones Illuminating each happy face, as
the ripples of chidhood's laughter ring out
in echo to some merry tale or sportive Jest
Truly, that is home of love But, in the
fullDess of their deep joy, may they reflect
upon the desolate, the uncared-for the pill
grim in life's lonely waste,
Mocked by the memories of home
And homeless everywhere
No. not everywhere, for there is another,
brighter and fairer than aught on earth
And there's no night in the homeland,
But aye the fadeless morn"
And they who patiently and prayerfully
watch and wait will one day hear the angel
voices calling, and see the angel-hands which
beckon them to come.--Montredi Star.

The Christian a Child.

| happened, some time since, to be spend
ing the morning at the house of friend,
whose youngest child, a beautiful boy not
quite two years old, was in the parlor, stand
ing by his mothers side. The little fellow
was extremely timid and bashful, and hid
ing his face, refused to look up, or to take
any notice of us. At length his father took
him in his arms and placed him on the floor,
at the other end of the room. Here he was
in circumstances of difficulty and danger in
deed. He felt that he was not safe where he
was, away from his mother and standing all
alone. But, in order to regain his place of
safety, he must of necessity psss us, the
dreaded strangers and he seemed to con-
slider himself fairly in extremity. But after
a moment he hit upon plan which doubt
less appeared to him perfectly satisfactory.
If he could not see us of course we could not
see him. So, placing one little hand over
his eyes to make sure that he should not look
at the wrong time, he with the other felt his
way across the room, passed us in safety, and
when he came near his mother (Which posi-.
ton he seemed to know by instnct), he let
fall his hand, sprang forward with scream
of joy, and again buried his bright little
face in her dress. 1t was one of the pretti-
est sights he was lovely child, with gentle
eyes and golden curls and it also strikngly
reminded me of the desire to be under the
protection and guidance of our heavenly
father which should characterize the Chris
tan of his loneliness and dread when sep
arated from his God of the eagerness and
joy with which he returns to the shelter of
his wings and of the manner in which he
should, when hard pressed by the world, in
circumstances of difficulty and danger, stead
fastly shut his eyes to the dangers which
surround him, looking upward to Christ for
help.-Neo York Observer.

and opinions we respect, in defence or fur
therance of that which approves itself as
true to our own inmost conscience, this is
the last and abiding test Of courage and OF
manliness. How natural, nay, how newt
able it is that we fall into the habit of ap-
preciating and judging things mainly by the
standards in common use among those we
respect and love. But these very standards
are apt TO break down with us when we are
brought face to face with some question
which takes us ever 80 little out Of ourselves
and our usual moods. At such times we are
driven TO admit in our hearts that we, and
those we respect and love, have been looking
at and judging things, not truthfully, and
therefore not courageously and manfully,
but conventionally. And then comes one of
the most searching of all trials of courage
and manliness, when a man or woman is
called to stand by what approves itself to
their conscience as true, and to protest for
it through evil report and good report,
against all encouragement and opposition
from those they love and respect. The sense
of antagonism instead of rest, Of distrust
and alienation instead of approval and sym.
pathy, which such times bring, is test
which tries the very heart and reins, and it
is one which meets us at all ages and in all
conditions of life.-Hughes' Maniiness Of

The Second Commandment.

The second commandment is no longer
ours in the letter, for the sculptures and
paintings which we see at every turn are
what the second commandment in its letter
forbade, and what the Jews, therefore never
made. Every statue, every picture, not only
in every church, but in every street or room,
is breach of the letter of the second com
mandment. No jew would have ventured
under the Mosaic dispensation to have them.
When Solomon made the golden lions and
oxen in the temple, ii was regarded by his
countrymen as unlawful. The Mohammedan
world still observes the second command
ment literally. The Christian world has
certainly set it aside. But in spirit it is
still more important. 1t teaches us that we
must not make God after our likeness or af-
ter any likeness short of the most absolute
moral perfection. Any fancies, any doc.
trines, any practices which lead us to think
that God is capricious or unjust or untruth-
ful, or that he cares for any outward thing
compared with holiness, mercy and goodness
that is the breach of the second command.
ment in spirit. Every attempt to purify
and exalt our ideas of God is the keeping OF
the second commandment in spirit, even
although we live amid pictures and statues
aud sculptures of things in heaven and
things in earth and things under the earth
For the spirit is greater than the letter-the
letter killeth and the spirit giveth life.-

The Planet Jupiter.

1t cannot be too strongly impressed upon
the minds of students of the stars that the
four great planets are all approaching their
perihelia, and bringing about condition of
planetary affairs that has not occurred for
two thousand years. Jupiter reaches the
goal first, arriving at perihelion on the 25th
of September. Such is the eccentricity of
his orbit that he will then be forty-six mil
lion miles, or about half of the whole dis
tance of the earth from the sun, nearer to
the great central fire than when farthest
away. He is also at that time almost at his
nearest point to the earth, coming into oppo-
sition with the sun eleven days after peri
helion. The earth is then directly between
him and the sun but the earth is farthest
from the sun in July, and will be at consid-
erably more than her mean distance in Sep
tember, when Jupiter is forty-six million
miles nearer. 1t may easily be seen that
when at opposition the earth is at or near
her greatest distance, and Jupiter at his
least distance, from the sun, the two planets
will be almost as near together as they can
be. Such will be the case next October, and
the giant of the system will soon give evil
dence of the fact in his increasing sizs and
brilliancy, being brighter than he has been
for nearly twelve years. Jupiter, as his
mighty mass plunges toward the sun, gives
evidences of mighty forces at work among
the chaotic elements of his cloud-surface
A spot has been seen on his disk for nearly
year, elliptcal in form, red in color, and
with diameter of twenty thousand miles.
No observer understands the cause of this
huge rift. 1t may be an opening in the cloud
atmosphere disclosing the more solid matter
beneath, and it may be something beyond
human ken. This beautiful planet may now
be seen in the eastern sky, serenely uncon-
scious of the excitement induced by his
movements, rising at forty.five minutes past
three o'clock; at the end of month he rises
at two o'clock nearly two hours and half
before the sun.-Prouidence Journal.

The Prince Consorts View Of Death.

IL was characteristic of the Prince Con-
sort that he contemplated the prospect of
death with an equanmity by no means CON-
mon in men of his years. This was owing
to no indifference or distaste for life. He
enjoyed it, and was happy and cheerful in
his work, in his family circle, in loving
thoughtfulness for others, and in the sweet
returns of affection which this brought
back TO himself. But he had none of the
strong yearning for life and fulness of years
which is felt by those who shrink from
looking beyond "the warm precincts of the
genial day " into strange and uncertain
future. He had no wish to die, but he did
not care for living. Not long before his
fatal illness, in speaking to the queen, he
said al do not cling to life. You do; but
set no store by it. II knew that those
loved were well cared for, should be quite
ready to die tomorrow" In the same con-
versation he added al am sure, if had a
severe illness, / should give up at once, |
should not struggle for life. | have no te-
nacity of life" This was said without
trace of sadness; he was content to stay,
If such were heavens will he was equally
ready to go hence, should that will be other
wise. Death in his view was but the portal
to further life, in which he might hope for
a continuance, under happier conditions, of
all that was best in himself and in those he
loved unclogged by the weaknesses and un-
saddened by the failures, the misunderstood.
ings, the sinfulness and the sorrows of
earthly existence. "This spirit the queen
writes in memorandum in 1862, "this
beautiful, cheerful spirit it was which made
him always happy, always contented though
he felt so deeply and so acutely when others
did wrong, and when people did not do their
duty; it was this power he had of taking in-
terest in everything, which prompted those
blessed feelings about eternity. He was
