A Kind Word.

1t is said "the flower that blooms in
the desert, blooms unseen and wastes
its sweetness on the desert air." but
when we remember that every little
atom of matter and every drop OF wa
ter have their appropriate place and
relation in the creation of God we can
not but think that it too performs its
part in the conveying of nature, no less
important because unknown to the
touch of the tender hand or the love
Of the loving heart. Certain, however
it is, that kind word or gentle ac-
ton, no matter when spoken or by
whom performed, fail not to awaken
a response even in the heart deadest
in sin, and though they may never be
embalmed amid the treasures of the
historian or find place in the poets
song yet written in the sky of eternity
they will be read by the millions o.
earth, as they sweep.upward towarC
the eternal God, and shining in thu
crown Of many redeemed saint tn
brightest jewel shall be "a helping
hand to the fallen and neglected
kind word to the distressed"

The senate's COURTESY.

1t is claimed that only ! per cent. Of
President Cleyeland's nominations
for Office have been rejected by the
Senate. That body has shown its par
tisan animus by taking advantage of
the Presidents mistakes to confirm all
his worst selections. The Senate has
carefully confirmed a number of nom
nations which the President has sub
sequently revoked on discovering that
the nominees were VIGOROUSLY filter
for the penitentiary than for public Of
flee, and 1t is very evident that more
OF such discoveries are in store for him.

No christian duty is made clearer
by the divine word than giving. If
we have an idea that we can render
acceptable service to God and at the
same time withhold from him our
substance, we are sure, sooner or later,
to feel the gentle truth, kindly fore
told us in Solomon's words, "there is
that withholdeth more than is meet,
but it tendeth to poverty" Do
not deceive yourself by trusting that
you have given to God your affections
your thoughts, yoar energies and eff,
forts when you are still refusing to
honor him With your substance

How soon that mirth shall pass away,
That morning fade and only leave
The broad dull light of common day.
1t makes my very spirit glad
To see your mirth and careless joys,
And may You never be more sad
Than YOU are now-my bright-eyed boys.
But can read on every face.
A something upon every brow,
Which will not pass without a trace
ofthings We are not dreaming now
First passions wild and dark and strong
And hopes and powers and feelings high;
Then manhood's thoughts, rushing throng
Shall sink the cheek and dim the eye
And brows shall grow all pale with care
And lips shall writhe in scorn or pain,
Then age come on with hoary hair
And sadly tend to earth again.
And cheerful fancies one by one
Shall slowly fade from day TO day,
And then from weary sun to sun
We will not have the heart to play.
But oft amidst the shifting scene
Yen smile on childhood's thoughtless joy,
And wish you might have been
The careless laughing happy boy.
