FRIGHTENING CHILDREN.

With painful frequency we hear of cruel
''pratical jokes perpetrated upon little
children. Again and again comes to us

wanted to have little fun One would
think that incidents like this had been
enacted and told with CHASTITY iteration
often enough from generation to genera
ton to warn off the most incorrigible fun
lovers and fools from the dangerous
ground. The progress of the witless plot
is generally the same up to a certain
point. There is neither originality or

unsuspecting victim, selected because he is

Sometimes no apparent harm is done, nn-
less that one child is made more timid,
another more cruel, Again the nervous
system is unbalanced SO far that a swoon,

THE OLD TOWN CLOCK.

The old town clock is a marvellous thing.
As it tells of the passing hours
When its hollow tones on the midnight ring,
Startling this sumbering world of ours.
And it watches the flight of unstaying time,
To chronicle moments that were
And the voice of the ages is heard in its chime,
As il walls on the startled air.
Its fingers are pointing path to the sky,
And its tongue has an utterance grand,
OF the rest that remains in the mansions on
high,
And the way to the beautiful land.
But the children of men, never needing its
voice,
Move onward to music and mirth;
In the days of their youth and strength they
rejoice,
And pass like a dream from the earth.
The old town clock! l have heard the peal
OF its measured stroke give one at morn,
When l felt as the lone and the wretched feel
In a bleak, cold world, forlorn.
have counted the tones from its iron throat
As they moaned and died ON the wind,
Till their music felt like funeral note
On my dreary and desolate mind
The old town clock let it strike again
\ difge-ike note for departing time:
'Tis sybl song and a mystic strain.
Heard from the grand old past sublime.
And its echoes tell us of glorious days.
When the heart and the world were young,
And the minstrel chanted the hero's praise,
And the lutte to love and mirth was strung

A SERMON IN RHYME.

If you have friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him, ere life's evening
Tlnge his brow with sunset glow
Why should good words meier be said
Ola friehd-till he is dead?
Ifyou hear song that thrills you
Sung by any child of song,
Praise it, Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one who thrills your heart
Lack the joy you may impart?
fyou hear a prayer that moves you
By its humble, pleading tone,
Join it. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of 1.-TWO or three" in prayero
If you see the hot tears falling
From brothers weeping eyes,
Share them. And by kindly sharing
Own yourkinship with the skies.
Why should any one be glad
When a brothers heart is sad?
fla silvery laugh goes riprling
Through the sunshine on his face.
Share it, IT'S the wise mans saying
For both grief and joy a place.
There's health and goodness i'll the mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth,
If your work is made more easy
By friendly, helping hand,
Say so. Speak out brave and truly,
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should brother workman dear
Falter for word of cheer?
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness
All enriching as you 60
Leave them. Trust the harvest Giver
He will make each seed to grow.
So until its happy end,
Your life shall never lack friend.

LITTLE SERMONS.

The selfwise,
God will despise;
From the childlike heart,
He will never depart
~
Make your to-day faithful, and your to-
morrow will be beautiful.
**#
The DEVILS deceit
Lies in mans conceii;
But with Gods helping hand
The humble are planned.
With voices of truth as polished steel,
To glass his character to man,
That he its sad defects may feel,
And set him to nobler plan =
This is to be his truest friend
No coward duty-shirker;
This is towards the highest end,
With him to be eo-worker.
And when the noble work is done,
And in the heavens cleaning,
Twill be the crown that friendship won,
BY being and not seeming.
**x
A cellar dark and dank, with smell of mould,
Some musty straw, some rags, a wasted form,
pallid tear-wet cheek, a dim, sad eye,
Disheveled hair that looked like rusted gold,
A choked voice, mellow as a dying storm
Cries, "Give me water, quick die =
Request so anguish-wrung quick-heeded
7 tl,a tor lins 50
And in her eye saw loves sacred light;
And then her soul took swift its unknown
flight;
But strange sight flashed my wondering eyes
upon;-
There stood my wounded Saviour gloritied,
And This to me- in fading vision cried

Goodness is immortal.

Starting with Jesus Christ as the founda-
ton, we build our way to heaven, step by
step, out of the granite deeds of righteous
ness, cemented together with the gentle
and abiding touch of brotherly love.
Real courtesy spreads its hammered
beauty to all, and is not dependent on out
ward fairness for its growth. Like the
honeysuckle it glories as gracefully on a
homely decayed log as on trellis of gold,
and is as lovely for the beggar as for the
prince.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
The International Lesson for the Last
Sunday in Novamber.

The international Sunday school lesson
for to-day is on the subject. "Hezekiah's
Prayer Answered" The golden text is:
trouble" The time OF the occurrences
noted in The lesson is about 713 B. q. at
Jerusalem. the capital OF Judah, ard
Babylon, the capital Of Chaldea. In the
course OF the year Of Sennacherib's In
vasion Hezekiah was seized with re-
markable illness, which nearly proved
fatal, and from which he most earnestly
besOught recovery. II the hosts OF AS
syria were preparing to invade him, we
may see one reason why he was so very
earnest in his prayer.
Fifteen years were added 10 his life, and
he was promised protection from his enc
mics. Some time after this Illness Nero
dach-baladan, King of Babylon, which
was at that time an Independent kingdom,
sent messengers to congratulate HeZe-
kiah. Jealous of the growing power Of
the Assyrians, Baladan seems to have
been anxious to cultivate friendship with
Hezekiah, and to urge him to resistance.
Hezekiah allowed carnal spirit to pre-
vail above higher considerations by boast
fully showing the amount of his riches 70
the messengers of Baladan. For this the
Lord rebuked him by the prophet Isaiah,
and informed him that the successor of
Baladan should one day prove the bitter
enemy of Judah. and that the groans Of
the captive people should be heard within
the walls of his capital.
