THE PERILS OF PRAYER.

A great deal is said of the privi-
lege and the advantages of prayer,
while very little is said of the respon-
sibility and the perils of prayer. Yet
every privilege is sure to impose a
correspondent responsibility; and
every responsibility has it's accompa-
nying perils. He would exercise the
privilege of prayer, should know that
that privilege, like every other,
brings perils with its responsibility.
Christian believers are accustomed
to quote with hearty satisfaction the
bible injunctions and announcements
to prayer and to comfort themselves
with the bible record of delightful
answers to prayer. "'Call unto Inc
and 1 will answer thee" ''All
things whatsoever ye shall ask in
prayer, believing. ye shall receive )"
Continue in prayer ''Pray with
out ceasing )" "Come boldly unto
the throne of grace ''The prayer
of faith shall save the sick ;''-such
texts as these are often in the mouths
of those who love the Word of God;
and the wonderful answers to prayer
vouchsafed to Abraham, and to Mo
ses, and to Elijah, and to Elisha.
and to Daniel, and to Cornelius, and
to Panl, are taken to heart by them
as they turn to God in prayer. But
believers are not so ready to note
and heed the various bible warnings
on the subject of prayer. "Be not
rash with thy mouth, and let not
thine heart be hastysEto utter any
thing before God; for God is in
heaven and thou upon earth: there
fore let thy words be few" eve
know not what to pray for as we
ought )" "Ye ask and receive not,
because We ask amiss, that We may
consume it upon your lusts ito
these texts, they ascribe less import
ance in considering the duties which
grow out of the privilege of prayer.
Nor are they quick to appreciate the
lesson of the inspired declaration
concerning the praying Israelites,
who asked amiss, that they might
consume it upon their lusts: s'God
-. gave them their request; but
sent leanness into their SOUL" Yet
, it is quite. as important to recognize
the perils of lustful and unholy pray
ers, as it is to realize the true privi-
lege of right-minded and reverently
trustful prayers.

EMPLOYMENT may be laid down
as an incontrovertible principle that
no family can be happy without en-
ployment-regular, diversified, con-
tinually-recurring employment. There
may be the possession of wealth,
there may be everything externally
to enjoy, but unless there be appro-
pirate and varied employment to oc-
cupy the body, engross the mind and
awaken the energies there cannot be
happiness. 1t is the active, indus
trious, persevering family that is the
truly happy family; not the idle, the
slothful, the useless not the family
that has no definite plan, no fixed and
important object, no personal and
collective energy.

Horace Greeley, although he "took
the papers" was once sought to be
victimized at the well-worn "dropped
pocket game. The man who
picked up the book, pletoric with
bogus money, right at Mr.. Greeley's
feet, was compelled to out of town
Immediately to his sick wife, and beg
ged the loan of $50 in advance of the
award which would surely be offered
if Mr.. Greeley would keep the book.
Mr.. Greeley consented, and only saw
ed himself by taking the $50 out of
the book. The man demonstrated.
''It will not do to touch that money!"
he said, "you had better give $50 out
of your own pocket" "Bless my
soul, my FRIEND" exclaimed the inno-
cent Horace, 81 never carried as
much money as that with me in my
life" The man impatiently snatched
the book out of Mr.. Greeley's hands
and hurridly left to visit his sick wife.

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. Ina SOLID
GOLD WATCH CASE aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving. and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stifen and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
bic, because gold is soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case IN. ~ v,sv

good, solid truth in that homely
phrasing. In sober fact, no one of
us has much to brag of in his course
of life. All of us have missed too
many opportunities of doing and get
ting good, to justify US in Boosting
over our failure to do worse than we
have done. If we had done a great
deal better than our present record
shows, we should not really have
passed the limits of simple duty.
Our shortcomings are way this side
of those limits. $50 likewise ye,"
said Jesus, swhen We shall have done
all those things which are command
you, say you should say we are
Improbable servants there is no
profit, no net gain, on the investment
in us {: we have done that and only
that which it was our duty to do"
Yet the real boosters in this world
are those who have fallen far short
of doing their simple duty, or of
making as much of themselves as
was possible. York Tribune.
The SECRET OF SUCCESS. Not long
before Mr.. Lincoln became president
he made an address in Norwich,
Conn. A clergyman in the audience
listened with keen interest. In the
morning at the station he was intro
duced to Mr.. Lincoln, who immedi-
ately asked him to sit with him. He
said, "Mr. Lincoln, I heard your ad-
dress last evening" eyes, / saw
that you did," "But you don't mean
that you could single out any one
person in such a throng!' II knew
you at once before the major intro
duced u.s." swell, Mr.. Lincoln,
will you please tell me how you ac-
quired your wonderful art of putting
things?" Mr.. Lincoln smiled. eyes,
you are quite right; l did acquire it;
[ worked for it. When I was youth,
nothing made me so mad as to have
a man say thing l couldn't under
stand. l went to my room, shut my
self in, and stayed till by walking
back and forth l had picked to pieces
what 1 had heard, and then recast it
into perfect language.

SUCCESSFUL MEN.


''Successful men, are inclined to |
take more credit to themselves than
they deserve; and to blame them
selves less. 1t is true that if man
is an evident failure in life, he will
reproach himself, more or less, for
his folly or his faults; but, even
then, he is quite likely to think that
it was his circumstances and sur
roundings, or that it was his circum-
stances and surroundings, or that it
was his unfortunate connections in
some way, that kept him from doing
better. If, however, a man gets up
in the world, or gets on in the world,
he is pretty sure to think he deserves
most of the credit for hisswell doing.
1t is hard for him to realize that he
has been helped and lifted at every
step, and held back from misdoing,
as by main force, and that, at the
best, he has not done nearly as we'll
as he ought to have done, or might
have done. Yet that is the real
state of his case. ''What hast thou
that thou didst not receiver is a
question that should come home to
every man in every sphere of life.
To God, chiefly and primarily, and
as from God, his country, and to his
fellows, and to all inspiring and en-
couraging and restraining influences
about him, man owes his privileges,
his opportunities, and all his lesser
and larger successes and who can
say, on looking back upon his past,
that he has made the best use posi-
BILE of these proffered benefits and
advantages? This inclination to
claim credit for well-doing, and for
right-being, too often shows itself in
the christians estimate of his posi-
ton and progress, as well as in the
spirit and manner of ''the man OF
the world" In recent sermon or
salvation by grace, Mr.. Moody said
in his emphatic way: SIT is well thai
a man can't save himself for if 6
man could only work his own way
into heaven, you never would hea
the last of it. Why, down here il

Where the Fire is Out.
Magic No More Mystery-Seen From
Across the World.

"Haroun of Aleppo,'' said Sir Philip Derval,
chad mastered every secret in nature which the
nobler magic seeks to fathom. He discovered that
the true of healing is to assist Nature to throw
off the disease-to summon, as it WERE the whole
system to eject the enemy that has fastened ON
part. His processes all included the refrigeration
of the principle of life.''
In this the Eastern sage merely anticipated the
practice of the best physicians of o.day What life
itself is, nobody knew then-nobody knows now.
But we have learned something of the reasons why
the mysterious tide rises and falls. Provided the
great organs of the body are not irreparably de-
stroyed, medical science can always relieve, and
often save. Yet no reputable physician now ad-
heres to the barbarous and stupid processes of de-
pleton, such bleeding, by which it was attempted
to disease by reducing the patients ability to
resist it. Now a-days do not tear down the fort
to help the garrison-we strengthen it. eGN
In this Intelligent and benefcent work, it is
coded that PARKER'S TONIC leads all other med
icines AS an invigorant it acts immediately and
powerfully upon the circulation and the organs of
digestion, thus giving Nature the assistance she
calls for. 1t follows that all ailments of the stomach
kidneys and liver MT once relieved or cured No
other preparation embodies the qualities
produces similar results. 1t is delicious to use and
