Brains W. Labor.

The following beautiful passage
is by the Rev. +. Corning;
'While | sit my study table
with my pen in hand, the fingers
moving with tqrdy pace at the
beekon of brains, | hear right be.
low my window in the adjacent
field the monotonous ring of a la.
borer's hoe upon the corn hills
While he hoes, he whistles hour
by hour until the clock strikes
twelve and then with ravenous ap
petite repairs to his bountiful ye
simple meal, only to resume hii
task again and pursue it to the
setting Of the sun. As i stood al
the window watching his toll, and
turned agein to my pen and paper,
| asked myself how it happened
TINT the man with the hoe will la
Dor his eight or ten hours a day
with less fatigue than the man
with his pen will toll his three or
four.
Hugh Miller was a great worker
with the shovel and pick would
have made a good hand in a slate
quarry. But one night, az you
know, he shot himself in fit of
nervous fever. What was the diff
ference between the great geolo-
gist and the man with the hoe,
whistling under my window? Sim
ply this, the former was a worker
of brain, and the latter of muscle.
Let this man with the hoe lay
down his husbandry for a little
while and set himself to studying
one Of the stalks of corn, and very
likely he would soon learn what it
is to loose ones appetite, and hear
the clock strike nearly all the night
hours i'll feverish wakefuiness.
And thus we get great organic
law of our being to-wit: That
brain labor subtracts vitality from
the fountain, while that of muscle
only makes draughts upon one of
the ramifying streams of life. II
is estimated by scientific observ.
ers that a man will use up ms much
vital force in using his brains two
hours as he will in working his
muscles eight"

The Bible.

The Bible is the Saviour's book.
1t is a book which, but for the Sa-
viour we should never possessed.
II is book which has come to our
world through His mediation, like
Himself, the gift of God. And it
is the book which reveals the Sa-
yior, which tells what lie il, and
tells us He is ours. WhosoeYer
has Bible may have the sa-
viour also.
So that il, in respect to its au-
thorship and origin, the Bible be
the Sayiour's book; in regard OF
its destination and object, it is no
loss truly the sinners book.
1t is not meditation, but mes
sage-a message from God, my read
er, to you and to me. 1t announ-
ces not Gods thoughts about the
universe, but Gods thoughts and
intentions about ourselves. 1t is
not speculative book, but one IN
tensly practical--not book which
we may treat as we do other vol
umes in our library, taking down
and reading it when We pleased,
and then placing it ON the shelf
again, without any change in our
creed or our conduct. 1t is q sol
emn book to deal with; for, Just
as it bears salvation in its bosom
SO it carries Jehovah's seal and
sanction on its brow; as it brings
salvation to our houses, so it car
ries back to God a report of that
reception which we give to Him
self and His beloved Sons a
book entirely unique. If from it
we cannot find how to secure a
blessed Immortality by-and-by,
there il no book, no being in the
world from whom we can acertain
it.
When the most learned of law
yers lay dying, he said, 81 have
surveyed most Of the learning that
is among the sons of men, and my
study is filled with books and man
uscripts on various subjects, but in
all these books and papers there is
only one sentence on which [ can
now rest my soul, and it is one in
the Sacred Scriptures. "The grace
of God that bringeth salvation
hath appeared unto all men, teach
ing us that, denying ungodliness
and worldly lusts, we should live
soberly, righteously and godly in
this present world, looking for that
blessed hope, and the glorious APP
pearing of the great God and our
Saviour, Jesus Christ; who gave
himself to us, that he might redeem
us from all iniquity, and purify
unto himself a peculiar people,
Jealous of good works. '--Hamil-

BE Gentle with the SOrrOwing.

Step softly in the presence of
grief, and speak gently to him or
her in whose eye the tear dro .
glistens. Never mind inquiring
the cause of sorrow, for the heart
never bleeds unless it is wounded.
To you the cause might seem SO
trivial as to provoke q smile to
mock the anguish of the soul. But
to that broken, nuttering heart
the little hill to you is mountain
of gigantic proportions. We can
seldom "shed tear for tear" with
the unfortunate, for while in
the sunshine we are apt to for
get how cherries and chilly
it is beneath the cloud; when
among the flowers we forget how
the hot sand is schorching the feet
of the weary travellers across the
trackless waste. II IL gentle
heart that bleeds over triAes such
n heart rs the world needs 90 shed

rough places and sunshine upon

TOBIAS so TO SPEAK.

Yes, his front name is Tobias,
And he is over pious,
And his eyes are on the bias,
So to speak;
And his only aim and bent is
Nobby clothing-for this gent Ia
Just bit non eompos mentis
Like and weak.
And this feather-weighted gent he
Though not one-and-twenty-
Has acknowledge quite plenty,
SO to speak;
For he'd rather be.a-pranelng,
And kickieg at Il dancing,
Than his stock of wit enhancing,
Learning Greek.
Tho he apes the drawl and stammer
When he dorns his sleek elaw-hammer,
Yet Tobias shoots his grammar,
So to'speak;
And he questions very rarely,
$50 his clothes are hanging fairly,
If his brain be fashioned squarely,
Or oblique.
No, he hasno education,
And his beauty took vacation,
Bout the time of his creation,
So to speak;
And upon mature reelection,
Taking each distinct dissection,
I've decided his complexions
Rather weak.
Tho his shirt has not rimple.
Nor.his beardless chin dimple,
Yet he boasts a chronic pimple
On his beak;
And his Voice is not reliant,
For at times it ia defiant,
And at times it is plant
Little Squeak.
Now it seems to me so funny
That this half demented sonny
Should be loaded down with money,
SO to speak;
Whilesthe writer of this ditty,
Who you see is rather witty,
Has TO scrub about the city
On his cheek.

those who are not, we would re-
specially call attention to the fol-
lowing: Though written many,
many centuries ago, contains some
excellent suggestions. "There be
four things which are little upon
the earth, but they are exceeding
wise"
"The ants are a people not
strong, yet they prepare their meat
in summer"
"The comics are but feeble
folk, yet make they make their
houses in the rocks"

man who tramps industriously
around n billiard table three nights
i'll the week, or buys an admission
ticket to the opera can't be expect
ed to be on duty at home the 9TH

him and give the man an oppor-
tunity to recuperate.
| Don't waste your breath in use
less yituperation against his favor,
lite chum. Cultivate the chum
yourself ostensibly when your
husband is not around and matters
will assume n different aspect.
Don't put pins in your curl pa
pers or let your crimpling pins
dangle on your forehead. They
are denominations and feminine
impliments of warfare that men
despise,
Don't leave hair in the comb, or
your neek-curls where they will
stick to his hair-brush. Don't
put a long hair on the soap or in
his tooth sh-purposely,
Don't mend his hosiery with
coarse cotton, having knots i'll it
larger than Il pea.
Don't be unreasonably yexed if
he is not ready for church as soon
as you are. If he doesn't start to
get ready till the bells begin to ring
you must not expect the same re-
suit as with yourself, who had the
whole morning before you.
Don't scold him because he
leaves ashes i'll his pipe. One of
privileges of married man is to
leave an old pipe full of ashes in
just the position to empty the
contents on the Window-sill on the
mantle piece the moment it is
touched. ...
Don't indulge i'll flights Of tenn
per when your husband suggests
how his mother did. If he objects
to having his eggs boiled in the tea
kettle, and prefers them washed
previous to cooking humor him in
his fancies. In the meantime bring
your SONS up as carefully as you
can, and when they are married
you yourself will doubtless be
held up as an example of virtue
and revenge is sweet.
Don't be too prodigal in the use
of kindling-wood. There is no
fruit of his toll that man guards az
jealousy as he does his kindling'
wood. He would fain put it where
thieves break not through and
steal. So, just because you have
free excess to it, don't burn up
enough to last a week in one day.
Don't parley for the last word
in i discussion. The sooner you
discover that it is pleasure you
must forego, and make up your
mind to relinquish it entirely, the
sooner you have a chance for
peace in the family, and long
life of freside contentment. HAIR

NATURE resents all attempts to
hurry her processes, and even
when they seem to be successful
with bright and forward children,
it is often at the cost of maturer
and more important growth. Eff
forts to reform character often fail
from the same cause. The chang
es which we wish to produce are
too great to be suddenly effected.
Thy can come about only by small
instalments. If We can not be
content to lead men and women

we may as well give up the Office
Of reformer On the other hand,
those who are always ready to OPP

against nature. The law of varia-

AMONG THE ARABS. Among
this people the girls have little to
do with selecting their husbands.
The men nearly always fix that up
among themselves. A bold war
rlor sees girl whom he loves in
another tribe. lilo rides up at
night, finds ont where she is sleep
ing, dashes up to her tent, snatch
es her up in his arms, puts her be-
fore him ON his horse and sweeps
away like the wind. If he hap
pens to be caught he is shot. IL
he Is not, the tribe from which he
has stolen the girl phys him VS.
1T IN a few days. The deryish, a
priest Of the tribe, joins the hands
OF the young man and the girl, and
both tribes join in the merriment.
All the brayest men steal their
wives, but there are some who do
not. Their method il a little diff
ferent OF calm moonlight
and moonlight in the tropics il
far more beautiful than here-ym
may see an Arab sitting before
the tent of his inamorata picking
a fringed instrument something
like our banjo and singing song
of his own composition. This is
his eourtship. They are the most
musical people in the world. They
talk IN poetry, and extemporiza--
ton is us easy with them as it was
with the Sealds of old. The court
ship only lasts a week or two. If
the girl ls obstinate he goes else
where and seeks to win another
girl by his songs and music.
Sometimes the fathers make up
the match, bat always the girl is
the obedient slave. Her religion,
her people, her national Instincts,
the traditions Of her ancestors, all
teach her to be the slave of her
husband. The power of life and
death is in his hands, and she
bows before his opinions with the
most implicit obedience. 1t is
only when the fair-faced Frank
comes, with his glib talk of wo-
mans highest duties and grander
sphere, with his winning manner,
with his marked respect, SO fiat
tering to a woman's soul, thatishe
leaves her husband, forsakes the
teachings of her childhood, gives
up home and friends, and risks
death itself to repose in his arms

my dinner, q puff of wind from
the Laramie Mountains, to the
south hit me. On the plains, n
mile to the south of me, and Just
where two valleys brought these
two different winds to the focus
point, cloud of snow was lifted
high into the air, and the wind be-
gan to circle. In ten minutes the
cloud began moving toward me,
and the mercury soon went down
eleven degrees. The cloud bore
to the northeast, struck the north
fork of Big Cheyenne River, and
followed it east to Fort Sully,
spreading its flanks as it went.
At Sully it ran down the Missouri
to the Iowa state lire. Here the
wave was a hundred miles long.
When it got down to Omaha it
was 200 miles. It left the river
there and went east, and by the
time the centre reached De; Moins
one wing was at Minneapolis, due
north, and the other at Sedalia,
due south. From wing to wing
was 500 miles. That wave took in
Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana,
and was kept from Michigan by
lake influences, and later on all
the Atlantic coast, from Maine to
Virginia was overspread by it.
