SUNDAY EASY CHAIR.
WILL GOD KNOW ME, WHEN IN T1JERz7"
Little hands on the window rest,
Under the head Of sunny curls.
Fair as the stars on evenings breast,
That the banner Of night Uufurls.
Eyes that have caught the misty hue
OF the depths of summer air
! ASK with the lips SO tender, true,
Mother, VIII God know me, when I'm thereT
0, the wisdom OF tiny years,
Scarce thr;cetold on tie wave of timei
With perfect love that knew 10 fears,
From mother to God, one step 10 climb
Was It q guttsr of angel wings?
| Or was it the song OF seTaph rare1
| That Z voice ~e love in silence sings
/ Mother, God knows me am there

! Enjoy present pleasures in such q way as
/ not to injure your future ones.-[Seneca.
It is the enjoying, and not merely the
! possessing, that makes us happy.-[ Mon
taigne.
Men respect the religion Of those who are
ready to lend helping hand in times of
! trouble.
All along the pathway of life are tomb
/ stones by the side of which we have prom
/ ised to strive for heayen,-LD. L. Moody.
! 1t is no help TO the sailor to see fash of
/ light across dark sea, if he docs not in
stanuy steer acc0rdingly-lF K. Hayergal.
Keep Your conduct abreast of your con-
! science, and very soon your conscience will
! be illumined by the radiance of God.-[W.
/ NJ Taylor, D. d.
TO pray against temptations, and yet 10
rush into occasions, is to thrust your fin
! gers into the fire, and then pray they might
| not be burnt.-[Seeker.
/ Beware what you say Of others, because
/ you only reveal yourself thereby. A man
/ does not think to look behind the door
| unless he has some time stood there him
self
! Mems lives should be like the days, more
! beautiful in the evening; or like the sea-
sons, aglow with promise, and the autumn
rich with golden sheaZes, where good deeds
j and words have ripened on the field Al

/ Eternity is crying out to you louder and
/ louder as you near lis brink. Rise, be go

! ship to himself. SO, as has been said, is it
! with prayer If it does not bring God to
man, it will bring man to God.-[W. ?.
! Breed,
! God gives us tongues on purpose that
i they should be used. As he made birds to
| sing, and stars to shine, and rivers to flow,
so has he made men and women to con-
! verse with one another, to his glory. II may
! be desirable that some should speak less,
/ but it is still more desirable that they
/ should speak better.-ISpwgeon.
! The resurrection is only the tomorrow
morning of death, and when we think of
I the grave we should do so as III the happy
( days of our childhood We thought OF our
! bed when we retired to it for the night eX-
/ pocting an elder brother to call Us in the
/ morning and take us with him On q pleas
ant excursion.-[Dr VIM. n. Taylor.
/ Beauty of form affects the mind, but
then it must be understood that it is not

and value of = still more beautiful pearl

! The worlds history is divine poem, of
which the history of every nation is a canto,
I and every man q word. It's strains have
been pealing along down the centuries, and
though there have been mingled the discOrds
Of warning cannon and dying men, yet
to the Christian philosopher and historian
the humble listenar-there has been a
{ divine melody running through the song
. which speaks Of hope and halCyon days to
come ~. A Garfield
+ Poets are fond Of talking about man as
an oak and woman the vine that climbs il ;
/ but I have seen many q tree fall that not
/ only went down itself but took all the
! vines with il can tell you Of something
stronger than an oak for an ivy to climb
on, and that is the throne Of the great
+ Jehovah. Single or affianced, that woman
is strong who leans on God and does her
best. The needle may break the factory
band may slip the wages may fall, but
over every good woman's head there are
! spread the two great gentle, stupendeus
wings of the MISUNDERSTANDING.
We sleep in peace in the arms Of God
when we yield ourselves up 70 His pr0vi-
! dence, in delightful consciousness Of His
tender merCieS no more restless uncertain
ties. no more anxious desires, no more i'm
patience at the place we are in, for it is God
who has put us there and who holds US in
His arms. Can we be unsafe where lie
has placed US and where He watches over
US as parent watches over child? This
contiding repose il which earthly care
, sleeps, is the true vigilance of the heart ;
yielding itself up to God with no other sup
port than Him, it thus watches while we
sleep. This is the love Of Him that Will
not sleep even in death.-[ Fenelon.
/ How different is peace from happiness
/ Happiness is the result of harmony between
( our wants as creatures and the world with
out; peace is the harmony between us as
spiritual beings and the Father of our spir-
/ its. The one is changeable rs the objects or
+ circumstances on which it for the moment
/ relies; the other is as Interchangeable as the
/ God on whom it eternally rests. We may
/ thus possess at once real happiness and
real peace yet either may exist without
the other. Nay, more happiness may be
destroyed by God in order that the higher
! blessing peace may be possessed; but
! never will He take away peace to give hap
+ piness. Happiness without peace is tenn
/ poral, peace along with happiness is
