time cures what art fails to cure,
but Pussie, full of life and gaiety,
leaves a vacancy in our sad hearts,
that can never be filled. Time will
only add more poignancy to our
grief and fill to the brim our chaiice
Of bitterness. A few glimmering
stars were family shining in the
azure expanse above, when Pussie
was aroused for the last time from
her sweet s!umbers. She knelt aud
upward scared on angels wings, her
fervent morning prayer. Little
thought she when kneeling there,
that the same hour on the morrow
would behold gathered around her
sorrowing friends mourning for the

A Blessing or a Curse.

Two Scotchmen emigrated in the
early days TO California. Each
thought to take with him some
memorial of their beloved country.
The one of them, an enthusiastic
lover of Scotland, took with this
tie, the national emblem, the other
took a small swarm of honey bees.
Years have passed away. The Pa
cific coast, is, on the one hand,
cursed with the Scotch thistle,
which the farmers find it impossi-
BILE to exterminate; on the other
hand, the forests and fields are fra
grant and ladened with the sweet
ness ofhOney, which has been and
is still one the blessings of the west
ern slope of the rocky mountains.
Even so does every christian carry
with him some thistle plucked from
the old man, or honey from the new
man, with which to bless or curse
men according as he makes choice
for God. How precious is our in
fiuence; how we should watch and
guard it.-Words and Weapons.

These number not more than one in

AS to these Mr.. Atkinson says with
his usual penetT ration: If the advo-
Gates of an eight hour law should
get it passed, the first efforts of the
same men who had promoted it
would be to find out how to work
overtime to the best advantage in
order to gain better subsistence.
The logical results of all such acts
by which the free conduct of adults
is restricted in certain specific cases
is to limit the full use and benefit
of labor saving machinery and thus
to lengthen the necessary hours OF
work of the great mass of people.
