Sewing-Aches.

Jessie sat down by her mother to
sew. She was making a pillow-c case
for her own little pillow.
"All this ~ she asked, in a discon
tented tone, holding the seam out.
That is not too much for a little
girl who has a work-basket of her own,
said mother. Yes thought Jessie,
"mother has given me a work basket,
and ought to be willing to sew :" and
with that she took few stitches quite
diligently.
Il have a dreadful pain at my side,
said Jessie in few minutes. "My
thumb is very sOre,' she said a few
moments after. 'Oh, my hand is 81
tired ~ was the next. Next there was
something the matter with her foot
and then her eyes, and so she was full
of trouble. At length the sewing was
done. Jessie brought it to her mother
"Should | not first send for Il doc

"The doctor for me, mother :" cried
the little girl, as surprised as she could
be.
Certainly. A little giIl so full o.

Bad Books.

We know of no surer or svifter road
to ruin, for the youth of our day, than
reading bad books and corrupt papers.
No youth ever escaped the contamina-
ting effect upon his mind and character
of once reading licentious book. The
memory of its scenes will come back
upon him in fearful and odious distinct
ness in after years, even when 10y Gods
mercy he has become true Christian.
They will haunt his hours of retirement
aud devotion, and obtrude between
him and his Saviour, long after lie had
hoped to have escaped forever theiI
recollection.
We verify believe that the commun-
ing with obscene books and papers Is
in some respects worse for the young
with their warm passions and lively
imaginations, than the occasional meet
ing with even the vilest persons. Act
ual contact with the vile reveals the
effect of vice, so as to repel the youth
not yet far gone in iniquity but in the
cOrrupting issues of the press to which
We allude, the odious features of vice
aud its disastrous effects are all kept

Human Love.

| think many get into difficulty from
not understanding clearly what zen
tire conservation to Cod means. 1t
does not mean, thinking of no other
being, loving no other being, taking no
interest in any earthly object. At least,
this is not New Testament conservation.
Who ever had stronger or tenderer hu
man affections than our blessed Lord !!
and yet who ever loved His Father as
He did Who ever, among merely
human beings, had wider circle of
beloved friends than the Apostle Paul
Look at his numerous individual greet
ings to members of the various Church
es-his longing desire for the society
of Timothy and Titus. Did this inter
fere with his full conservation to God ?
We admire and delight most in the
sunlight, when we look on the objects
on which that light rests, and which it
eliminates aud thus the more we
truly love God, the more we shall love
men too.
The affection God gives us-the OBJ
jects of special individual lOve-are His
gifts as truly as light and warmth, as
air and daily food and comforts. The
way to use them without abusing them
is, not to try and pare dOlCH our feelings
of love for some dear one till they have
been brought to the point of what we
consider Christian moderation, but to
do as the Israelites were forbidden to
do with their fruits and all their album
dance-to bring them 10 the sanctuary,
and rejoice in them before the Lord
their God. If we find that God gives
us additional strength of body, or
worldly goods, let us thank Him, and
ask Him to help us to use all to Him.
Well, if he gives us what is more pre-
cious than gold or silver-the love of
another human heart, let us bring the
love to Him as Aaron brought the
sheaves to wave before the Lord, and
thank Him gratefully, and ask him to
sanity that precious gift, and help us
to use it for Him but never, never try
to love less, as if He grudged us our
love. If we love rightly, we shall love
Him the more, the more we love our
friends.
Human love becomes idolatry when
we make the object of pleasing our
friend the first instead of the second
object if we neglect the service OF
God for the loved ones sake, if we
compromise the truth for fear of offend
ing our friend, if we are more afraid to
displease him than to displease God
then the love is becoming idolatry.
But the remedy is not to love the hui
man being less, but to seek to love God
more. God may see fit to dry up the
lower springs-but that is His work
not ours often we force Him. so to
say, to use this mode of correcting us
because we will not take the way He
has left in our hands to go to the
fountain head and seek the living wa
ters-the upper springs which are al
ways there for those who ''tciH"- ITO-
mans Work IN the Hdrrest Field.

A Little Religion.

do not wonder that people are not
happy who only get hold OF little bit
of truth-take a look, as 1t were, at
Jesus, but never abide in His presence.
Ii seems to me there are only two class
es who can possibly he happy-thOse
who persuade themselves that the
world will satisfy them, and do not at
tempt to look beyond the present aud
those who, taking the rhOte OF Gods
truth, live accordingly, and find the re-
alities they believe so satisfying as to
put into the shade all other pleasures.
There cannot he a medium state which
will bring anything but Indebtedness.
A partial view of the realities of Eter-
nity and of the service OF Christ can
only disturb the mind, and cloud the
daily life there are many who have
only religion enough to make them un-
happy in their intercourse with the
world. From such the impression has
gone abroad that Christians are a
gloomy people The truth is that in
these cases enough is believed to blight
enjoyment in the world, and not enough
to fill the soul with a better portion,
and a miserable coercion which says, 81
must not do this" and ~ mast not do
that takes the place of the hearts
loving loyalty, won by the sight of
Jesus to "a full and Joyful surrender.
The devil well knows all this, aud
he is content to make people a little re-
ligOus for the sake of the damage their
testimony will do to the cause of Christ ;
and do not think it is too much to say
as regards the effects upon others, that
if all the half-and half Christians were
out of sight more good would he eff
fected by the handful of believers that
might remain than is possible now, be
cause of the hindrance which this mis-
cradle misrepresentation puts in the
way. When we see what one life,
wholly given to Christ, can accomplish,
we cannot refrain from asking what
might be done if all the nominal be-
levers became whole hearted Christ
ians! aye are my UitHeses,' said the
LOrd-to remind the world OF Me, ia
keep Me before the world in My alb
sence.-Mrs. PeRnetdther.

toned just one button wrong. and that
made all the rest 90 wrong;n and Janet
tugged away and fretted, as if the poor
buttons were quite at fault for her

denied having done it that was an

Nothing Lost

Never a word Is said
But IL trembles on the Air
And the truant voice has sped
To vibrate everywhere
And perhaps fsr-oG in eternal years
The echo may ring upon our ears
Never are kind acts done
To wipe the weeping eyes,
But like flashes Of the sun
They signal to the skies
And up above the angels read
How We have helped the sOrer need.
Never a day is given,
But it tones tho after years,
And it carries up to heaven
Its sunshine OF ITS tears
While the to-morrows stand and wait
The silent mutes by the outer gate.
There is no end u the sky
And the stars Are everywhere
And time is eternity,
And the here is over there
For the common deeds of the common day
Are ringing bells in the far away.
