And while Lily sat crying and praying,
her mother went to Malcolm Carlyon, and
was shown to the bedside of the delirious
boy, where his father sat in hopeless an
guish, looking at the fever-flushed face, the
tangled, curling hair.
He looked up as she entered.
''Your work." he said, sternly, as he
pointed to the bed.
.'But will atone. Oh, Malcolm, l am
sorry. sorry, sorry! Lily is coming to hun,

And he sprang towards her, pale and

heart was az peace for the first time in
years and years.

AT NIGHTFALL.

Coming along by the meadows,
Just after the sun went down,
Watching the gathering shadows
Creep over the hillside brown.
Coming along in the cleaning,
With never a star in the sky,
Ny thoughts went a-roaming. a-roaming
Through days that were long gone by,
Days when desire said. Tomorrow,
Tomorrow, heart, we'll be gayi"
DAYS ere the heart heard the sorrow
Which echoes through yesterday.
Life was goblet FURNISHED.
That with love for wine was filed;
The cup is bruised and tarnished,
And the precious wine is spilled.
But to the traveller weary,
Just CO.. ing in sight of home,
What does it matter how dresry
The way whereby he has come?
Coming along by the meadows,
And watching the fading day.
Duskier. than nights dusky shadows
Fell shadows Of yesterday;
In the northern sunsets glImmer,
The Great Bear opened lis eyes
Low in the east simmer
Showed where the full moon would rise.
Lights in a window were cleaning,
and some one stood at the gate,
Said, why do you stand there dreaming?
And why are you home so late ?"
Yesterdays shadow and sorrow
That moment all vanished away,
Here were to-day and tomorrow
What matter for yesterday?

An old skinilint

''Talk about your mean men," said old
Pioneer Skinderson, at Phil McGovern's
saloon, San Francisco: ''the very tightest,
closest, far seeing, calculating old skin
flint ever seed, was old Klamskatter, the
mine superintendent. who died up at Gold
Hill the other day."
'.Was, ehf" encouragIngiy remarked a
customer who was feeding Pills bulldog
with petrified sandwiches from the lunch
table.
''Yes stree: he was just pizo IN, he was /;
closer than the bark of tree. When he
was running the Hornet mine up at Vir-
ginia, he used to skulk around the levels
disguised as mule tender, just to pipe off
the men who didn't keep hard at it, so as
to dock 'em the next Saturday."
"Why the dern cussl"
but wait. He actually encouraged a
drill-runner to tell long story one day
while they were waiting for some machine
ry to be repaired, and afterward docked
the man half day, and all the fellows that
heard it four bits apiece for stopping to
laugh. He charged one man ten cents for
single grim"
''Great Gosh !"
''That's nuthin. Sim Briggs, who was up
on the lode when the mlser died, said that
about an hour before Klamskatter passed
in his checks he sent for the doctor; and
says he: Doc, give us the straight busi.
ness. Is there any show for me 2"
Nary show" say the doctor; you'll
strike bedrock afore night
&" Then says old Klamskatter, Il want
some OF you fellows to carry me up
to Mount Davidson right off. If | can light
out from there it will save my soul a clear
mile of transportation
''Aud did they do it 2" asked man who
had walked over by the stove,
"Wall, no, replied the narrator, simply.
'sThe boys took him over, put him on the
cage, and lie: him down to the lowest level
of the Hornet instead. They said that
they guessed he had made little mistake
about the direction somehow. To the best
of their judgement, his soul was going the
other way"

Not Alone.

We do not labor alone. However
feeble our hands, that mighty Hand Is
laid on them. Ia direct their movements
and to lend strength Ia their weakness.
Ii is not our speech which will secure
results, but his presence with our
words which shall bring 1t about, that
even through them a great number
shall believe and turn to the Lord.
There is our encouragement when we
are Respondent. There is our rebukc
when we are sclf-cOnfidcnt. There Is
our stimulus when we are indOlent.
There il our quictncss when we are
impatient If ever We are tempted to
think our task heavy, let us not forget
that he who set it helps us to do 1t,
and from his throne shares in all our
tolls, the Lord still, as of old, working
with us. If ever we feel that our
strength is nothing, and that we stand
solitary against many foes, let us fall
back upon the pcacc-giving thought,
that one man against the world, with
Christ to help him, is always in the
majority and let us leave issues OF
our work in his hands, whose hands
will guard the seed sOwn in weakness,
whose smile will bless the springina

One Of Wards Franks.

Half a dozen of his associates were
sitting one day in his room at the vii
lage hotel where he boarded, when an
old woman drove up to the store Oppo-
site with pair of donkeys-a lack
and ienny-hitchcd To n little wagon.
Jack was the noiScSt brute in the coun-
try. He had voice worse than the
handle of the town pump on frosty
morning, and was proud of it. In Il
minute his tail rose To horizontal. his
NOSE was thrust forward, his lips part
ed. and the beast blew his Internal
blast. A second and "a third time it
was repeated. Artemus quietly thought
that that thing might be fixed" and
disappeared from the room. He went
over and appeared to make a careful
inspection of the fore wheels of the
wagon, the harness and the hitchup.
and came back saying that the donkey
was all right the brute must have
made mistake about something.
Presently there were indications of a
movement on jacks part the neck
was extended, the lips curled and the
tail rose-to the pivotal point and no
further.
The trumpet didn't sound. Jack
thought there was "a mistake some
re-hesitated reflected tried
again. The front part, some of it, was
all right; but the equilibrium could
not be reached. After "A time another
attempt was made and failed. Jack
turned his head around to ascertain
the cause of the failure, but couldn't
zee any. The fifth vain attempt ia
bray was followed by a spiteful kick

Beware Of IrrcIigiOn.

The thoughtful man of business,
whatever his religious belief, does not
fail to perceive that there is CONNER
cial as well rs spiritual danger III
everything which mscttlcs the conf
dcncc of man in man, and tends to
overthrow that belief in right and truth
which must be the foundation of all
legitimate transactions. An able writer
in The Contemporary Review has
lately been discussing some important
questions of religion from the layman' 5
standpoint and his conclusion is that
$50 long rs men of business are pos
scsscd, however imperiectly, with the
Christian faith, and, as Protestants,
accept us binding the teaching of that
Book which condemns all falschOod,
fraud, and injustice, Il barrier is raised
against the spread of corruption but
should the idea come to bc generally
entertained that Christ is Il myth, and
his teaching unworthy of regard, then
commerce would inevitably become
more and more IA mere contest between
INSCRIPTIONS knavcs, amongst whom

eXpcdicncy, truth for clever conceal

will never do for business men, or foI
buyers and sellers of every kind, Il
forget that irreligion means, in its log
zeal result, the overthrow of law and
order, and of all business and socia

of 1871, and every similar period %

Love To Christ.

Says Sturgeon Love TO Christ
smooths the path of duty, and wings
the feet to travel it; it is the bow
which impels the arrow of obedience ;
it is the handspring moving the wheels
of duty; it is the strong arm Juggling
the oar of diligence. Love is the mar
row of the bones of fidelity, the blood
in the veins of piety, the sinews of
spiritual strength; yea, the life of sin
ccre devotion. He that hath love can
no more be mOtionlcss than the aspen
in the gale. the scrc leaf in the lIur-
ricane, or the spray in the tempest.
As well may hearts cease To beat rs
love Ia labor. Love is instinct with
activity, it can not Ice idle; it is full OF
energy, it can not content itself with
Titles; it is the wcll-spring ofheroism
and great deeds are the gushings al
its fountain it is giant; it hcapetl
mountains upon mountains, and thinks
the pile but little; it is IA mighty myS
terry, for it changes bitter into sweet
il calls death life, and life death an,
it makos pain less painful than enjoy
ment.

Outdoor Exercise.

Exercise oils the joints of the body
and prevents them from getting stiff.
1t needs no money, very little time,
little or no strength. One thing only
it does need and that is perseverance.
One-third of the time often given to
the piano will more than suffice. One
less study day of those which are
to-day Over-taXing so many school
girls, and instead, iudicious, vigorous
outdoor exercise, aimed directly at the
weak muscles, and taken as regularly
as ones breakfast, and is there any
doubt which will pay the better, and
make the girl the happier, the better
fitted for all her duties, and the more
attractive as well? 1t is as necessary
to develop vigorous, healthy bodies as
it is to cultivate the mind, for what is
mental power without bodily strength!

To live peaccably with everybody
is not always easy. Human nature Is
combativc and the original Siniulncss
which we inherit from our first parents
shows itself at Il very early age. Even
among little children, quarrcls arise /;
ill-tempcr is shown and the atmosphere
of love is often cloudcd by anger.
How hard il is sometimes to give the
"soft answer when we are wounded
and annoyed. to restrain the hasty
speech, or to bear the contentious and
disagrccmcuts that arise In our fam
lilies, patiently for Chris's and loves
sake. If ii were possible ior us to i've
with each other pcaccably, according
to the command given 10y the apos-
tie in the twelfth chapter of Romans,
what happiness would he ours, and
what "A little heaven below this world
would Ice. So far as in us lies, We
should live pcaccHhly with all, and II

will he easier. There is one place

The common practice in the summer
treatment of calla lilies is Ia remove
the pots to "A shed or any place where
they will Ice dry, and lay them upon
the side, where they may remain until
time for reporting in the autumn. OF
course the roots become dry. Another
plan is Ia remove the plants from the
pots Ia the garden, where they will re-
main in a half dormant condition until
autumn. No water must Ice given and
no culture is required. In the autumn
repOt in a good, rich soil, and give
plenty of water, but don't water too
freely until signs of growth. BY the
latter plan flowers are secured earlier
