There is the same love in the law that
there is in the gospel, and between them
a harmony as petfect as the music of
that Heaven where the harps are gold,
and the strings are touched by angels
fingers. The hand indeed that wrote
the Commandments is the same that
was nailed to the cross; and amid Sinai's
loudest thunders, faith recognizes. tho
it speaks in other tones, the Voice which
prayed for mercy on murderers, and
promised paradise to adying thief.
Stars shine brightest in the darkest
night; torches are better for beating
grapes come not to the proof till they
come to the press; spices smell the best
when they al bruised; young trees root
faster for shaking; gold looks brighter
for securing; juniper smells sweetest in
the fire; the palm-tree proves the better
for pressing; chamomile, the NOR, you
tread it the more you spread it. Such IS
the condition of all Gods children. They
are most triumphant when most tempt
ed; most glorious when most afflicted.
The smallest crust may save a human
life;
The smallest act may lead to human
strife;
The smallest touch may cause the body
pain;
The smallest spark may fire IA field of
grain;
The simplest deed may tell the truly
brave;
The smallest skill may serve live to
save:
The smallest drop the thirsty may re-
lieve:
The slightest look may make Il heart to
grieve.
Naught is so small that it may contain
The rose Of pleasure or the thorn Of
pain

The way. to do thing is to do it..
There is no courage but in innocence
Prosperity makes friends, adversity
tries them.
The word on fire will keep the congre-
CATION awake.
Nothing is more dangerous than a
friend without discretion.
Blessings overtake us when We are
right in. the. sight of God.
Often the world discovers mans mo-
raj worth only wnen its injustice has
nearly destroyed him.
Loving Kindness" says the Talmud,
'is greater than laws: and the charities
Of life are more than all ceremonies"
Betwixt the believers death and para
tdise there is no long sleep of uncon-
seriousness. He passes at once to the
companionship of the blest.
Nothing. so increases reverence for
oters as great sorrow to ones self. 1t
teaches one the depths of human nature.
In happiness We are shallow and deem
others so.
Our great concern should be not to
determine just how soon or in what pre-
else manner the Lord will come again.
Far more important is it that he should
find US ready.
The Gospel is not simply a philosophy
of religion OF law of life, but it is an
apocalypse, showing the heavens to our
thought, and so bringing its spiritual
benedictions to every heart and life.
There is many a wounded heart with
out a ccntrite spirit. The ice may be
broken into thousand pieces-it is ice
still; but expose it to the beams of the
Son of Righteousness, and then it will
melt.
1t is great mistake to plead want of
talent or opportunity as an excuse for
Incidence in the Lords work. The Mas
ter expects service from all. No excuse
will appear good when we give our ac-
count.
The highest human ambition is not to
be learned. or rich, or cultured" to pos
sess superior -attainments, or to fill "a
conspicuous place. To be humbly, stead
fastly, diligently doing his work, is far
better. Such will the King delight to
honor. |'.f'f

STANDING ALONE.
MRS. VI. P. HANDY.

~The baby is standing all 'lOneyr
The children shout in their glee-
And father and mother and auntie
Must hurry and come to see.
So baby-the cute little darling
Isput through the wonderful feat,
And fondled and kissed and commended
For being so smart and sweet.
With the cunningest air of triumph
She stands in the midst of US all
While outstretched arm of her mother
Is ready to save fall.
And whenever the little one letters
Around her is hastily thrown,
'Tis very fine fun-thinks the baby
This frolic of standing alone!
All, many time in the future
She'll long for the aid of that arm,
When the love and the care of a mother
No longer can shield her from harm
For oft when our need is the sorest
There's no one to whom we can turn
For standing alone is lesson
'Tis hard for a woman to learn.
And often and often my baby;
Before life's journey is gone,
You will yearn in your hours of weak
ness
For something to lean upon.
When the props upon which you de-
pended
Are taken away or o'erthrOwn,
You viii find it wearisome, baby
So wearisome! standing alone.

Some years ago-twentty years after
the occurrence just .mentioned-the
Count Ribiera returned to the Ferroni
mansion, which had been inhabited
since the death of the countess, save by
faithful steward and his wife; who
had remained to take care Of the house,
in which much valuable property had
been left. a rss.a gYas - qa
The count returned from foreign trav-
el with young wife, whom he, though
now advanced in years, had esp0used in
Paris. - ~ 0t rE II
a grand entertainment and bail were
given to celebrate the return os the lord
of the mansion, and to introduce the
youthful countess to the elite of Flpren-
tine society. Ere the supper was served
up the countess, accompanied by several
ladies'; repaired to the boudoir; urged by
curiosity,to examine certain costly speei-
mems of old-fashioned plate, of which
the count had spoken, and which had
remained undisturbed for years in a
chest in that room. The count. had
moreover mentioned the existence of a
second lid, with secret spring. the low
er department of the box having been
contrived for the better security of OBJ
jects of great value or Importance.
The countess raised the upper lid, and
the old plate, dark and dingy with rust,
met the eyes of herself and companions.
il female attendant took the articles
from the chest and placed them npon
the table. The countess, then, in ac-
cordance with the directions previously
given by her husband, pressed the secret
spring, and the lower lid flew up. She
uttered an exclamation of horror, and
tainted in the arms OF her attendant.
That chest contained the remains of a
human skeleton.

During the last year, says the Spo-
kane Times, the timber on the odd
sections of land near Spokane Falls
has been disappearing as fast as axe
men and teams could remove it. That
has also been the case on government
lands. Under the plea of cutting
fallen timber, nearly all the available
trees suited for lumber in that vicin-
ity have been cut away. It is stated
that Mr.. D. G. Lewis, on the part or
the railroad will soon take steps to
find out where the timber has gone
which has disappeared from railroad
sections, and for what purpose it has
been used.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER l, 1881.

There was an unexpected change in
the condition of President Garfield on
Saturday last, and to the establishment
of all he commenced to grow better,
having safely passed a decided crisis
in his case. Hecontinuedto improve
Sunday and Monday, but he is not yet
certain to recover. His condition is
now given in the following Washing
ton dispatch of yesterday: If there is
any change to-day it is for the better,
but it is small, and the president is
Just holding his own. He is not eX-
pected to gain much for some days.
The discharge of the gland has re-
lieved him. The pulse at 1890 is about
like last night, and the higher pulse
to-day was merely temporary. The
ball has not shifted much to-day.
Many think the change in its position
caused the present strong rally. 1t is
not impossible the ball may pass
through the rectum. Nearest APP
proach to solid food he has taken is
milk toast and chicken jelly. Solid
food is not to be given for time yet.
There is no danger of the gland slough
ing off. Many offers to cure the
president by magnetism and other
wise are received and rejected with
thanks. Evidently the swelling on
the face, though painful, is diminish
ing.
Dr.. Boynton says, while there has
been no material gain of strength,
there has been a slight improvement.
Certainly there has been marked i'm
provement since the recent crisis, and
he now takes food with as much relish
as at any time during the illness. No
marked change is expected at once.
All we can reasonably expect is the
patient to hold his own for few days.
If he makes even slight improve
ment it will be satisfactory. The doc
tor said he had not noticed any symp-
tom of another crisis. The prospects
of final recovery are very fair, but in
q case of this kind we cannot say pos
itively whether the patient will re-
cover; therefore he could not make
any definite prediction on that point.

A recent Washington dispatch says
as hope returned for recovery of Pres
ident Garfield more is learned in de-
tail of the terrible anxiety of last Fri
day. 1t appears that the surgeons
after learning the symptoms of the
morning decided that it was useless to
longer continue the struggle, and
two of their number were selected to
wait upon Mrs. Garfield and inform
her that medical science could do no
more and that she must prepare for
the worst The interview between
these surgeons and Mrs. Garfield will,
If reports be true, be regarded as one
of the most dramatic incidents in this
extraordinary case. Capt. Henry,
marshal of the district, and friend
of the president and his family says
that Mrs. Garfield heard the news, and
smothering her emotion arose and
said:
Gentlemen you shall not give him
up. He is not going to die. He is
going to live; l feel-I know it. Go
back to your post and leave it not I'M
til every remedy is exhausted; until
death itself has set its seal upon him,
for l will not believe he is dying. Go
back and do what you can. You cam
not do more, but don't give him up.
am his wife and say we will not
give up until the end is upon US.
Mrs. Garfield has never surrendered
more than moment or two in which
she gives way to her grief, and then
she has retired to her room, and
after brief absence returned to her
post of duty by the presidents bed
eide.
