Thy hand the veil of night from morn
Had ifted-from my eyes had torn.

And, seeing, worship theel

Profanity and politeness never associate
together.
Happiness is no other than soundness
and perfection of mind.-[Antonius.
Though we know not where the road
winds, we know where it ends.-ISpur-
geon.
To have what we want is riches but to
be able to do without is power DOnal
Grant.
Mems lives should be like the days, more
beautiful in the evening; or like the seasons
aglow with promise, and the autumn rich
with golden sheaves, where good words and
deeis have ripened on the field Albany

What would be wanting to make this
world Il kingdom OF heaven, if that tender,
profound and sympathizing love practised
and recommended by Christ were para
noun; in every heart. Then, the Hottest
and most glorious idea of human society
would be realized.-[ Krummacher.
Life is 4 field Of nettles to some men.
Their fretful, worrying telnpers are always
pricling ont through the tender skin of
their uneasiness. Why, if they were set
down il Paradise, carrying their bad mind
with them, they would fret at the good an
gels, at the climate, and the coloTs even OF
the roses DIR. Bushnell.
Christ left his gravc-clo;hes behind him
in the sepulchre because he rose to die no
more: death was to have no more dominion
over him. Lazarus came out with his
grave clothes on, for he was to use them
again: but Christ, rising to an immortal
life, came out free from those incum-
brances.- Matthew Henry.
What is our death but nights sleep.
For as through sleep all WEAKNESS and
faintness pass away and cease, and the
power of the spirit comes back again, so
that in the morning we arise fresh and
joyous; so at the last day we shall rise
again, as if we had only slept night, and
shall be fresh and strOng.-[Martin Luther.
Any peace that is linked with forgetful-
ness Of God is horrible thing it is the
peace of the miasma which is brOoding in
quiet before it strikes with the arrow of
death it is that dead calm which precedes
the cyclone or the earthquake. The perfect
peace which God giveth sunneth itself in
the presence of God it is tropical flower
which lives in the flaming sunlight; bird
with rainbow wings, which is at home in
the high noon of heavens summer-tide.-
[Spurgeon.

Simple integrity, simple fairness, simple
! Justice to rich ana poor alike, give to each
! one his rightful dues, striving neither to
| oversell nor to underby goods or labor in
| curing no debts but admit of being
| promptly met, and Turing no one else to do
| so-in short, carry out in daily life the
principle of honesty and fairness. IS the
/ very best and most efficient means of bene-
| fitting the community, and the only founda-
ton on which to build Denevo!ence
worthy of the name.
Sorrow is divine. Sorrow is reigning on
all the thrones of the universe, and the
crown OF all crowns has been one Of thorns.
There have been many books that treat OF
| the sympathy Of sorrow, but only one that
| bids Us glory in tribulation, and count ii
all Joy when we fall into divers Affections,
that so We may be associated with that
great fellowship Of suffering of which the
| incarnate Son OF God is the head and
| through which he is carrying a redemptiye
! conflict to glorious victory over evil. II
we suffer with him, We shall also reign
with him Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Let Us remember that the law Of the
| beautiful in nature is like the law of the
| beautiful in character and life-a law OF
! gradual development. These flowers have
not sprung to life in a moment. These
! buds and grasses have not suddenly burst
| into being. Mother earth has held them
! iealously to her secret heart through the
! long days aud nights of winter; the kindly
SHOWS have shielded them with their
whiteness; winter has been to them no
death. only the pausing time before 8
| longer and richer gro"th. BY slow de-
: grees, by secret methods, 10y silent, ceaseless
steps the beautiful world BIAS become more
| and more beautiful u God takes time tc
make the pausies All morning glories
| beautiful, much more ,ill he take time to
| make US beautiful IN every noble ambition
and desire and need. Hail to the blessed
| time! Herald Of summers beauty and
autumns golden wealth; prophet OF that
! day when all that is uncOmely shall pass
| away, and we shall behold the King in his
| beauty. and shall be transformed into the
| image Of his inefiable grace. Haste, happy
everlasting spring Chicago inter-Ocean.
