While life lasts, years, months,
weeks and days come alike 10 all.
This great big planet, with its noun.
tains. hills and valleys, continues 10
revolve in the immensely Of space,
performing its usual revolutions.
Time moves IN. We can not, as
did Joshua of old, compel the sun 10
stand still, even for an instant. The
golden moments-Iife's most precious
treasures, 50 precious that only one Is
given 10 US at time-are fast pass
ing away.
The tireless hands Of the great town
clock in is high tower indicate with
unerring certainty the neetness Of
time. We note their position on the
broad, white dial-plate, aud say we
will be here or there In business or
pleasure, at a certain time, 10 perform
some deed or fulfill some promise.
We build castles and I'll them with
beauties which satisfy our immortal
longings for the time being. but when
we approach them. like the mirage Of
the desert, they have disappeared
leaving us to build and furnish an.
other. And so the world goes on from
year TO year, until the last day is
reached and life's labors aud pleasures
are over. Each locality-eacli heart
has had its sensation. Perhaps il
may have beeu a love affair, perhaps
an ENHANCEMENT in the meshes of the
law; perhaps long looked for wedding.
a birth, a death, or the saddest Of all,
the ruin Of some poor, misguided soul
The comedy Of life is the better part
of il all. The good and true and vir.
tuous of the world are surely entitled
10 as much Of its pleasantness as those
who are STEPPED in the mire and slime
Of dissipation and sin. aud il is well to
make the most aud best of the days
that are ours.
But the play will soon be finished,
the curtain rung down, and the lights
extinguished on this great drama
which we call life, and all should
qualify themselves for their part 10 the
great final tragedy Of death.

KISS Your WIvEs.-Bro. Barnes,
in one Of his last sermons here said
that mean husbands were too common,
and could be found everywhere. He
spoke Of the power Of Kindness, and
said there we're probably men under
the sound of his voice who had not
kissed their wives for FIVE years. And
those wives who are now faded WON.
en-, years ago were blooming girls, to
whom these now neglectful husbands
got down on their marrow bone"
vowing they would not live without,
and pledging eternal love and fidelity.
These women were now starving for
the love on which they fed in the first
years Of wifehood. "Go home," ex-
claimed Mr.. Barnes. "throw your
arms around the old woman's neck,
and surprise her with rousing smack
and see how much good will result
from it. We cannot, of course. say
whether or not Mr.. BIS advice was
taken, but had we been a Benedict we
could not have resisted it.-[True

An exchange recently published a

the lady must pursue the same course,
