the venal boudoir rise to heaven, like
incense from an altar on which are

She was sent out ons evening on an
errand By her mother. Passing y

student invited her to guadriIle,
took her to supper. and che woke in
his room. When she went home her
mother reproached her. That night,
sent on another errand, she did no,

BURBETT's DOG.

On the Western farm where much
of the summer time OF my life was
passed We had q dog. There being
two or three boys on the farm, We had
seven or eight dogs. az matter OF
fact. but there was q particular dog.
with whose tail I desire to point a
moral. He was hunter. Morning
after morning, summer a1d winter.
be went forth to hunt. Night after
night he came hack home, his hair
full OF burs, his feet covered with
stone bruises and his ears pendent
with wood ticks. For seven long
years that dog lived on the farm. He
gnawed not the bone of idleness.
neither was he wise in the conceit OF
the sluggard, because in all those
seven years he hunted ell the time,
seven days week. But, alas! like
the slothiul. he roasted not that he
took in hunting" prov. xiii, ~.
Because be never found anything.
Not one single. lone, solitary, Lost
thing did he find in all those seven
years hunting. Never found thing.
But We kept him, because We be-
lieved. indeed We knew, that the dogs
intentions were good. He meant
well. Every morning as he went
forth. happy and confident. he hoped
to fad something and to bring it
home with him joyous and triumph
ant. But he never did. And at last,
ope keen, clear. braoipg November
day. he went down to the ferny glens
and lost himself. We never heard
that he died; nobody ever saw him or
heard anything OF him again; his
bark came back no more; he was just
lost; he had wrapped the drapery o:
the unknowable about him and
Joined the innumerable cavern OF liz
tangible things that be had hunted
for years. The moral of this passage
is self-evident. There are men, even
iE your own circle of acq" aintsnce,
who hunt all their lives and never
iud anything. They are industrious.
patient. hopeful. and yet they never
accomplish anything. They take the

The Old Man in the Stylish Church.
BY JOHN III. YATES.

Well, wife, I've been to church to-day
been to stylish one -
And secin' you can't go from home,
I'll tell you what was done;
You would have been surprised to see
what l saw there to-day;
The sisters were fixed up SO fine they
hardly bowed to pray.
| had on these coarse clothes of mine
not much the worse for wear
But then they knew wasn't one they
call a millionaire;
So they led the old man to q seat away
Twas bookless and uncushioncd-0 re-
serued seat for the poor'
Pretty soon in comes stranger, with
gold ring and clothing fine:
They led him to a cushion-seat far in
advance Of mine;
thought that wasn't exactly right to
seat him up so near,
When he was young, and was old, and
very hard to hear.
But then there's no acco,ntin' for W hat
some people do;
The finest clothing nowadays oft gets
the finest pew;
Bnt when we reach the blessed home,
and undefiled by sin.
Wen see wealth begging at the gate,
while poverty goes in.
couldn't hear the sermon, sat. so far
away,
So through the hours of service / could
only "watch and pray,''
Watch the doin's Of the Christians sit
ting near me, round about;
Pray that God would make them pure
within rs they were without.
While sat there, lookin' all around
upon the rich and great,
kept thinkin' of the rich man and the
beggar at the gate;
How, by all but dogs forsaken, the poor
bcggar's form grew cold,
And the angels bore his spirit to the
mansions built OF gold
How, at last, the rich man perished,
and his spirit took its flight
From the purple and fine linen to the
home of endless night;
There he learned, as he stood gain at
the beggar in the sky,
lit is not all Of life to live, Eor all OF
death to die
] doubt not there were wealthy sircs
in that religious fold
Who went up from their dwellings like
the Pharisees Of old;
Then returned home from their wor-
ship with head uplifted high
10 spurn the hungry from their
with haught to satisfy.
Out, out with such professions tn &
are doin' more to-day
10 stop the weary sinner from the Cos
pel's shinin' way
Than all the books OF infidels, than all
that has been tried
Since Christ was born in Bethlehem
since Christ was crucified.
How simple are the works Of God, and
yet how very grand!
The shells In ocean caverns, the flow-
ers on the land!
He gilds the clouds of cvenin' with
gold-light from his throne,
Not for the rich man only-not for the |
poor alone.
Then why should man look down on
man, because Of lack of gold?
Why seat him in the poorest new h.
