THE SWEETEST GIFTS.

What Is gift? Some rare and costly thing
which only wealth is privileged to bestow:
A Joy that opulcnce alone can bring?
boon that poverty may never know?
Nay! nay! the sweetest gifts that life adorn
Neer lett the loving hearts where they were
More humble gifts than cen the s.widow's
mite
Whose fame rolls down through the ap-
plauding years
Shall live In memories, safe from Lethe's
blight
Preserved I'm love- embalmcd in holy tears:
Our rarest gifts arc hungerings to bestow
The good that ne'er may come to us below.
AL that in man is best, the stamp shall bear
OF that which we call immortality;
And fond good wills. defeated now, shall share
The glad fruition of the time to be:
God frames our purpose true I'm purer gold
Than eye of mortal ever may behold.
There is a wealth descending from the sky.
That falls on every loyal gift We bring,
Heavenly fragrance that can never die
Breathing through all our true heart-offer-
ing:,
IF with each gift unselfish love we weave.
More blessed It's to give than to receive

which is the comprehensive symbol Of
the Divine character. What is hard for
yourself, then, do for God. Let His
love be the reward of your self-sacrifice.
He has made self-sacrifice the law Of
the universe; each thing, each being,
depends on and gives itself for tho other.
The extinction of love is the paraphrase
of love. Be sure that in habitual self
constraint, undergraduates for others

International Sunday School Lessons.
Contemplating the Future.

The inner worth and the sincere re-
hgios.ty OF men is more easily ascer-
tanned by the manner in which they con-
template the future than of the view
they take of the present or the past
All men are at length reconciled to the
past, and habit enables them to bear
with the present; but it is not so easy to
look forward with Indifference or calm
ness to that which may come. The
more a man fears for the future, the
less is the worth of his heart, the less
the sincerity and depth of his religiosity
The more cheerfully and happily he
looks forward to the days that are COM
ing, the purer is his mind, the truer is
his religion.
For weak. senSuouS persons, strongly
attached to what is earthIy-persons to
whom what they eat, and what they
drink. their household furniture, their
worldly position, and the consideration
in which they are held by others, are
the most important matters-must, of
course, be more fearful of the future
than others. because they have set their
hearts on things that must perish. They
must tremblc, in spite of their trust in
God! for they know beforehand that
God will not leave them forever to the
Joys OF the senses. Their own con-
science tells them that they cling more
to what belongs to the dust than to
what is Divine and eternal: that they
value mere worldly appearance more
than the virtue which raises us above
the world. The truly God-fcaring and
God-trusting Christian, on the contrary.
looks cheerfully toward TIE future. Ii
terriiies him not because it may bring
punishment for hidden sins, for he is
guiltless, though not faultless. What
ever wrong he has done he at once en-
deavorS to make amends for. He has
done all that man can do, and that a
follower of Jesus is bound to. What
ever God may have ordained, whether
1t be war or peace, riches or poverty,
joyful intercourse with beloved objects,
or the death Of the l:ttter-storm OF
sunshine he knows that God rules.
And when he sees the storm-cioud roll
ing toward him it is Gods voice that
says to him: ''Be still, and know that
am God"
Why. then, should 1 fear, o Lord, il
it be Thee. my God, my Father, who
sendeth forth the thunder cloud of fate:
Without Thy will how can it harm me-
And can it be Thy will TO render IN,
miserableP-me, Thy child, whom Thor
hast created and destined for etcrna
bliss; Thy helpless child, who hold,
everything he possesses from Thee, {
Almighty God! Nay, feel no uncasi
ness. | fear not my own death; fol
what is death but the discovering of the
bonds of earth, freedom to the immortal
soul, union with Thee? What, then
should fear? Give or take, exalt m,
or abase me, let me be the Joy of my
friends or fall the victim of my enemies
l accept with thankfulncss whatcvel
fate may befall me, for Thou art IN,
| Father; Thy love is r.g highest good
virtue my palladium; all else belong t,
the dust, and must sink into the grave
/ am still, still and full of trust. trustfu
and joyful, for l know Thou ar
God, my God, forever. Amen!- Meli

Captain Mayne Reid.

OF Captain Mayne Reid boyhood we
hear little, except that his father, q
Presbyterian minister, designed him fol-
the pulpit.
The clerical profession was not to his
taste, and at the age of twenty he left
his tutors and his tasks, to cross the
sea.
Landing in New Orleans, he began a
career of adventure in the wilds OF
America. He made two excursions uu
the Red River, and ascending the
Missouri, explored the vast prairies
which the wave of civilization had not
then reached. He afterward travelled
extensively in the States, writing de-
scriptions of his journeys for the news.
paper press. f- y
he was thus employed when, in 1915,
war between the United States and
Mexico broke out. and young Reid
threw himself ardently into the strug.
gle as volunteer. He greatly distin.
guished himself by his bravery at the
storming of Chapultepec, where he re.
ceived painful wound, from the effects
of which he frequently suffered.
The war over, Captain Reid resigned
his commission. But the spirit OF ad.
venture was reused in him again when
the Hungarian struggle for freedom en-.
listed the sympathies of iberty-lovine
people everywhere; and in iS49 he
organized in New York body of mer
to join it. He had arrived in Paris, on
his way to. Hungary, when news
reached him of the failure of the insur.
rection.
Reid then retired to England and set.
tied down to literary work, and there
In his home he lived the life of a quiet
country gentleman devoting himself tc
literature and rural pursuits. 7.

A solomon Come to Judgment.

1t has long been a disputed question
whether women arrayed themselves in
gorgeous attire for the purpose OF being
looked at and admired by men, or to
excite the envy of other women; but q
legal decision has been reached at last.
A New York woman appeared before q
magistrate the other day charging her
dress-maker with having cheated her by
putting inferior goods in her gown and
not making the same in q stylish
manner. The dress was produced
as evidence, and the Judge promptly
impaneling six reporters as .
jury, directed them to examine the
garment. They did so with one eye
each, or six eyes in all, fixed upon the
dress-maker, who was present and pref
ty. They decided that the dress was
all right. and when the complainant
protested that they were not competent,
and that ladies should be called to ex-
anime it, she was sternly rebuked.

One Tender Spot.

There is scarcely man so hardened
but that one tender spot may be found
in his heart. If that is gently touched,
the man responds.
AT a religious meeting in Scotland,
the following anecdote was told because
it illustrated drunkard's sensitiveness
to the influence of a dead child whom
he had tenderly loved:
A fisherman, who habitually drank
to excess. used to sail from a small
cove on the Scotch coast to the fishing
grounds, several miles out in the ocean.
There was no lighthouse to guide him,
not even beacon-light. and tho chan
mel was intricate. When the fisherman
had taken drop too much and night
had fallen. it was dangerous work en-
tering that cove. His little son used to
watch for his fathers coming, and as
soon as he saw him he would run down
to the point, and cry out:
steer straight for me, father, and
YOU get safe home!"
The boy died, and one evening the
father was sitting at his lonely fireside.
His conscience troubled him, for he had
been thinking over the sins of his life.
AS the night settled down, he thought
he heard the voice of his boy ring out
through the darkness:
"Steer straight for me, father, and
you'll get safe home!"
Springing to his feet, he called out:
Your right this time, my son"
From that moment he was a changed
man, one whose sobriety and pious life
attested the genuineness of his convic-
ton of truth and his purpose.
Judge not" Despair not of any
soul, whatever may be its lapscs. You
