roof of the Temple. but as He resisted,
SO resist We. Christ came to medicine
all our wounds. In your trouble prescribe
life instead Of death. People who have had
it worse than you will ever have it have gone
songful on the way. Remember that God
keeps the chronology of your life with as
much. precision as He keeps the chronology
Of nations, your death as well as your cradle.
Why was it that at midnight. just at mid
night, the destroying angel struck the blow
that set the Israelites free from bondages
The four hundred and thirty years were up
at twelve o'clock that night. The four hun
dred and thirty years were not up at eleven,
and one o'clock would have been tardy and
too late. The four hundred and thirty years
were up at twelve o'clock and the destroying
angel struck the blow and Israel was free.
And God knows just the hour when it is tire
to lead you up from earthly bondage. By
His grace make not the worst of things, but
the best of them. II You must take the pills,
do not chew them. Your everlasting re-
wards will accord with your earthly per-
turbations, just as Caius gave to Aggrippa
chain Of gold as heavy as had been
chain of iron. For the asking-and do not
know to whom speak in this august assem-.
blage, but the word may be especially APP
propriate-for your asking you may have
the same grace that was given to the Italian
martyr Algerius, who, down in the darkest
Of dungeons, dated his letter from the de-
lectable orchard of the Leonine prison"
And remember that this brief life of ours
is surrounded by rim, a very thin but very
important rim, and close up to that rim is
great eternity. and you had better keep out
of it until God breaks that rim and separates
this from that To get rid of the sorrows of
earth, do not rush into greater SORROWS To
get rid of swarm of summer insects, leap
not into jungle of Bengal tigers.
There is a sorrowless world, and it is so ra-
diant that the monday sun is only the low
est doorstep and the aurora that lights
up our northern heavens, confounding
astronomers as to what it can be, is
the waving of the banners Of the
procession come to take the conquerors
home from church militant to church
triumphant, and you and l have ten thou
sand reasons for wanting to go there but we
will never get there either by self-immoa-
ton or impenitency. All our sins slain by the
Christ who came to do that thing we want
to go in at just the time divinely arranged,
and from a couch divinely spread, and then
the clang Of the sepuchral gates behind us
will be overpowered by the clang Of the
opening Of the solid pearl before US o God,
whatever others may choose, give me a
Christians life, Christians death, Chris
tian's burial, Christians immortality!

twenty-five mn. in diameter, with a
white, chalky, or glazed coating, and
which is of peculiar interest to scientific
men. For its power Of absorbing liquid
this substance is quite remarkable, and
when water is allowed to slowly drop on
it it first becomes very white aud ehalky,
and then gradually perfectly tTanspar-
ent. This property is developed so
strikingly as to give rise to the name
'magic stone" for it, and has suggested
its use in rings, lockets, elIpms, ETC., tu
conceal photographs, hair, or other OBJ
jects which the wearer wishes to reveal
only when caprice might dictate. In an
examination of several specimens of this
curious material to determine its speci-
fic gravity, etc., the fact was readily dis
closed that hydropbane - the weight
being taken both dry and wet-absorbs
more than an equal volume of water.

SpurgeOn's Proverbs.

Idle men tempt the devil to tempt them
He who plays when he should work, has alb
evil spirit to be his playmate. He who
neither works nor plays is a workshop for
Satan. If the devil catch a man idle he
will set him to work. and find tools, and
before long pay him wages.
is this not where the drunkenness comes
from that fills our towns and villages
with misery? IdleneSS is the key OF beg
gary and the root of all evil. Fellows
have two stomachs for eating and drink
ing. when they have no, stomach for
work Their mouth swallows up i'll idle
hours that money which should put clothes
on the chidrens backs, and bread on the
cottage table.
We have Gods word for it that the
drunkard and the gluttOn shall come! to.
poverty. and to show the connection be-
tween them: it is said in the same verse,
drOwsness shall clothe a man with rags.
| know that drunken, loose habits grow
out of lazy hours.
| cannot make out why SO many work
ingmen spend their evenings at the public
house. when their own fireside would be
so much better. and cheaper too There
they sit hours. boozing and talking nom
sense. and forgetting the dear good souls
AT nome WHO are udll-StdTftu dHu WcSsAy
with waiting for them. Their money goes
into the SalOOn-till. when it ought to- make
| their wives and children comfortable.
AS for the beer they get, it is so much FOOLS
milk to drown their wits in. Such fellows
ought to be horsewhipped, and those who
encourage them and live on their spend
ings, deserve to feel the but end Of the
whip. These beer-shOps are the curse OF
the country. l wish the man who made
the law to open them had to support all the
families they have brought to ruin
Beer-shOps are the enemies of the home,
and the sooner ther licenses are taken away,
the better. Poor men do not need such
places nor rich men either They are all
worse and none better. Anything that
hurts the home is a curse. and ought TO- be-
hunted down.
