The Penalties Of Prosperity.

There are real trials of soul and spirit
that come with prosperity. The more
hardy traits of character do not always
thrive in an atmosphere of ease as under
the constant stimulation Of necessity.
Even when man has earned his money
or his high position by persistent effort!
he may find himself more slothful and
less enduring, more duly satisfied and
less high in bis ideals in the lap of lux.
ury than when he fought for his life,
inch by inch, with the stern'browed foe
despair.
In his poverty, man dwells upon the
great, good things that may be wrought
by riches. Too often in his wealth he
finds the small unworthy things more
potent to occupy his mind. The pros
porous man is sought out by tho multi
tude, is made to feel the falsity Of many
things through the trying test of wealth,
is beset and wearied with an in6nity of
cares cast upon him, and with the cold
resentment of those who consider every
dollar of his income dollar taken from
them. His charities are treated as a
matter of course, his denial of any petit
ton magni6ed into an evidence of con.
temptible meanness. Ills thrift is called
penuriousness, his generosity extrava-
gance. Certain social requirements &C.
company wealth and station, and if a
man dreams that by attaining eminence
he will escape care, lie makes sad mis-

Care Of Canary Birds,

A common mistake with those who
undertake to have canary for the first
time is to keep the cage suspended too
near the ceiling. The heat and impuri'
ties of the atmosphere rise to the ceiling,
and in these the bird can never be
healthy, and OIL unhealthy bird does not
sing.
To keep a bird in room where gas is
burned at nights for illumination is also
not good unless the cage is hung low
while the gas is lighted, and is kept GOV.
cred. A friend who complained that her
bird never sang, aud moulted continually
was advised to move the cage into room
unlighted by gas. Here it put on q
splendid coat Of plumage and soon began
to sing with vigor.
As for feeding, this is more simple
matter than many suppose. On this
point the following from the pen of Mr..
Silas Hill, in the Philadelphia Press,
but somewhat condensed by US is to the
point: IT have had good success with
raising canary birds, having had one
bird that.lived TO be sixteen years and
six months old. have always fed them
everything that knew they like to eat
including bread, crackers, with boiled
potatoes, beet, turnip, lettuce, cabbage
and chick weed. For seed I get hemp
and canary but. mostly hemp, as my
birds like it best. Ialways give my birds
plenty of water for drink and TO bathe
in. Plenty of sand in the cage, cutie.
bone and red peppers. / have. never had
any trouble in raising young birds. Give
the little ones hard boiled eggs and bread
and milk with sprinkling Of sugar in
it. One year I raised thirteen birds from
one pair; eight of them were singers

Don't snub boy because his home is

Don't snub boy because of physical

Don't snub boy because he shutters.

"But what is that stone I polished, and
why was it fastened to the laprel of Mr..

is Mr.. Pratt's badge of office and Mr..
p is the commander in chief of all
this great host of people YOU see about
you. They are the army of the Lord of
Hosts, who will soon start out from
Jerusalem to make a conquest of the
world. They will all be clad in glori6ed
bodies, and before the splendor of their
majestic advance sin and Satan will flee
away. Then the Kingdoms of this earth
will become the Kingdoms of our Lord

osity satisfied on these points, turned
to Mr.. Pratt and said, "Have you any
more of those stones?" His reply was,
"We have more of them and among the
number is one for you, but it is not yet
time for you to receive it; you must wait
patiently, be true Christian and an up.
right man. In due time it will be given
to you with the mystic characters en-.
craven upon it." This seemed to me to
be perfectly satisfactory. To be enabled
to possess such treasure as that was
worth making and enduring the greatest
sacrifice. was now filed with an ex.
treme longing to remain in this place.

I am not conscious of awakening out of

Hither away
Come while you may,
GU: where the banks are green-You heaf
Where the brook flows fast between-keep
near me-
Close by the ridge,
Now under the bridge,
And away through the cool ravine-Donf
fear he.
Iiark, what say;
days not a day:
How long is 4 day when the hills arc gray 4!
4 day is O year when the fields are serer
And tho fox still s.eols in his house of clay.
Eut mark-when the showers
Have wakcnrd tho flowers,
When the streams run clear and the birds
are here,
And tho spice wood is budding-then mark
what say--
Come lithcr away;
A days not day;
A months but day, and the days are but
hours.
Now through the brake we are led--Iou
hHar me
Yonder the red bud is red-kccp near mo-
Green the field slopes
To the edge of the cepse,
Where the snowy wild plum trees spread
Don't fear me.
Hark to the reel-
Follow my lead.
Now are the moments worth living, indeed
Now we walk over tie sweet dappled
clover
And down to tn crock we wend,
To cross by the fork where the glinting
b2ams hover,
And yellow young willow trees bend
The yellow young willows all dipping and
dripping,
All ruled and swayed by the breath OF
the breeze
See how they reach down; but the water
keeps slipping
Away to the shade OF the sycamore trees
Softly they sigh
As the waters pass by;
Softly the net Of their shadows they cast
Day-bright or sad-night,
Sunlight or moonlight.
They'll tangle the soul of the wator at last
There's nothing that lives but must love-
You hear mo-
On earth or in realms above-keep ncar
me-
The clouds and the breeze,
The streams and the trees,
And the birds that build nests in che grove
Don't fear me.
Hark, what I say;
LIES but day,
Break house and leave books, como away!
come away!
Come, leave the dull fool
Leave mart, leave the school;
Seek meadow and woodland and love while
you may.
