Gems OF Thought.

PRAYER should be the kew of the
day and the lock of the night. Bishop
Berkeley.
Reflection is an angel that points
out the errors of the past, and gives us
courage to avoid them in the future
1t is very common to forget the
beauty of holiness. The strength, en-
ergy, purity, peace and other qualities
are kept in mind, mainly, however, be-
cause of their utility in the spiritual
economy of life; but the attractivencss
which ought to be its chief charm is
left out of sight. -EIchange.
There is no life which in the past
has testified to the power and beauty
of the Gospel but what lives to-day and
shall continue in our future, unfolding
life. There has been no shr linking from
duty or sluggishness but what has left
its impress on us; and on the other
hand, no gift, no act of self-dcniaI,
which does not still work in us a be-
neiicent power.-R. II. Storrs.
To walk as becomes Christian is
to walk worthy OF eternity. So this
world shall not unduly exeite, when it
looms up large, nor unduly depress,

The true hero is the great wise man
of duty; he whose soul is armed by truth
and supported by the smile of God; he
who meets life's perils with cautious
but tranquil spirit; gathers strength by
facing storms, and dies, if he is called
to die, as Christian victor at the post
of duty. And if we must have heroes
and wars wherein to make them, there
is no so brilliant war as war with
wrong, and no hero so fit to be sung as
he who has gained the bloodless victory
of truth and mercy.-H Bushnell.
No doubt there is profound salts
faction in the thought that the good we
do will live after us. We may rejoice
also at the benefit the world derives to-
day from the good deeds of those who
are dead and gone. But to set up this
sort OfimmOrtality as substitute for the

longing of the human heart with the

quently used in the barn, and we give
word of caution. Never light lamp
or lantern of any kind in a barn.
Smokers may include their pipes and
cigars in the above. The lantern should
be lighted in the house or some out
building where no combustibles are
stored. A lantern which does not burn
well, should never be put in order in
the haymow. There is great tempta-
ton to strike a match and re-,ight an
extinguished lantern. wherever It may
be. 1t is best to even feel one s way
out to safe place, than to run any
risks. If the light is not kept IN the
hand, IL should be hung up. Provide
hooks in the various rooms where the
lights are used. A wire running the
whole length of the horse stable, at the
rear of the stalls, and furnished with a
sliding hook, is very convenient for
night work with The horses. Some
farmers are so careless as to keep the
lamp oil in the barn, and I'LL the Ian
tern there while the wick is burning.
Such risks are too great, even If the
buildings are insured. -AmericaB A0ri.

THAI OTHER LAND.

BEYOND these chilling winds and gloomy
skies.
Beyond deaths solemn portal.
There is a land where beauty never dies
And love becomes immortal
A land where light is never dimmed by shade,
Whose fields are ever vernal
Where nothing beautiful can ever fade,
But blooms for aye, eternal.
We may not know how sweet the balmy air
How bright and fair its flowers;
We may not hear the songs that echo there
Through these enchanted bowers
That city's shining towers we may not see
With our dim earthly vision.
For death, the silent warden, keeps the KEY
That opes those gates elysian.
But sometimes when aiown the Western sky
The fiery sunset fingers.
Its golden gates swing inward noiSelessly
Unlocked by silent fingers;
And while they stand a moment half ajar.
Cleans from the inner glory
Stream brightly through the azure yault far
And half reveal the story.
o land unknown! o land of love Divine,
Father all wise, eternal
Guide, guide these wandering feet of mine
Into those pastures yernali

In our home no more is seen.

And our hearts nc'er throb with glec
