right that ere man has got to die !"
After proceeding about a mile and
half we reached the spot where the
mill was to be located and half mile
away was Dawson's cabin. His fami.
ly consisted of wife and three children,
the oldest being bare-footed, bare
legged girl Of sixteen. After being in
troduced / was left to pass a couple
of hours while Dawson returned to the
men. He had explained to his wife
who | was and what had happened,
but the children were full of curiosity.
AS l sat by the door smoking the girl,
who was called Deb, sat down beside
me and asked

"More'n that. About dozen flop

A "sot-down" means half days

house would say to the children
"Come now, you'uns, it's fop-up

The girl looked at me in great sur
prise, and presently asked "You did
not come to shoot pop, did YEP"
"No. / came to see YOU"
"Mam, jist hear him.
"What does he say?" asked the
mother as she came out and sat down.
"Hip! Hain't he nice, ma ?"
"He's honey sure," said the mother.
"But he must ak pop for ye. Did ye
come to take Deb away
"No. l fell in with your husband
and his friends on the road and they
asked me to stop over night"
"And you don't want to marry mel"
shouted Deb.

"Mebbe you is forwardly jined ?"

"And sot sech store by he'un !"
walled Deb as she sat down and began
to cry.
"Now Deb, you shet !" scolded the
mother. "If he'un is forwardly jined
how can he be jined again"
"He had no business to be jined :"
sobbed Deb.
"Poor chilew sighed the mother
"Deb's increased for her age, stranger.

"I'm thinking, Deb, and | know he

me TO the main trail by short cut,
and as we sat down on a rock to have
a last smoke together he said

Songs in the Night.

Very many of the sweetest joys of
the Christian hearts are the songs which
have been learned in the bitterness of
trial. 1t is said of canary bird that
he will never learn to sing the song his
master will have him sing while it is
light in the cage. He learns snatch
of every song he hears, but will not
learn a full, separate melody of his
own. And the master covers the
cage and makes it dark all about
the bird, and then he listens and
learns the one song that is taught to
him until his heart is full of it. Then
ever after he sings the song in the light.
With many of us it is as with the bird.
The Master has song he wants to
teach us, but we learn only strain of
it, note here and there, while we
catch up snatches of the worlds song
and sing them with it. Then he comes
and makes it dark about us till we learn
the sweet melody he would teach us.
Many of the loveliest songs of peace
and trust sung by Gods children in
this world have been taught in the
darkened chamber of sorrow Weekly

Homes without God.

One of the greatest evils of the nine
teenth century is the vast number of
irreligious homes to be found in every
community. Not socially disrespect-
full homes; not homes without culture,
refinement and elegance; not homes
wanting in social and worldly enjoy
ment, but irreligious homes-homes in
which practically there is no prayer, no
God, no Bible-reading, no worship.
Practically God is as much excluded
from many homes as he is from the
marts of trade or the ballroom. Alas,
for such homes! The father unsaved,
bearing no testimony of Christ, placing
before the children no Christian eX-
ample. Sometimes both parents are
uncoverted and as Indifferent to the
gospel or to word like this as the most
blasphemous infdel. Oh, what a
calamity is thisl Oh, what an account
awaits such! If parents are irreligious,
can and do dispense with God and his
church, how are we to expect better of
the children? Cody homes have done
more for the peace of society and the
spread of the gospel throug hout the
world than any other single agency.
If this be true who can speak the
dreadful influence and results of ire
ligious homes, many of them excel

Spiritual Gifts.

We ought, if rightly minded, to re-
joice in the eXuberance and variety of
the spiritual gifts possessed by Chris
tians, just as we delight in the rich va
riety of nature or in that of the Word
of God. There are many lines of
thought in religion, many forms which
practical and personal piety takes, al
though, of course, they are all animated
by the same essential principles. st.
John and St. Paul were both equally
devoted to the cause and person of our
Lord, yet no two men ever existed who
manifested this devotion in shapes more
different. Both these members held of
the Head by living union, but they dis
charged for the Head functions alto
gether different. Let us not conceive
of all genuine religion as moving in one
groove of feeling and practice and re-
fuse to acknowledge any man as a
Christian because he does not run upon
our own particular groove. 1t seems
to be Gods plan and purpose that each
individual Christian should exhibit, in
the popularity of his circumstances,
education, moral temperament and
mental endowments, new specimen
of redeeming love and grace. BY va
rious discipline here he fits and pol
ishes each living stone for the place
which it is destined to occupy in the
spiritual temple, and when all the
stones are made ready he will build
them together each into his place and
exhibit to men and angels their perfect
unity.-E. NJ, GOulburn, in "Living
Thoughts"

A False Ideal.

In an admirable tract, published by
the Presbyterian Board of Publication,
Philadelphia, on " Duty of the Church
in the Conflict Between Capital and
Labor" Professor Robert Ellis Thomp-
son says, " The underlying difficulty is
the tendency to measure life, or success
in life, by abundance of possessions.
1t is false, misleading ideal. In the
kingdom of God the money-making
standard will not be the accepted one.
All professions will become liberal,
because all will acknowledge higher
standard of success than this. The day
will come when men will be as much
ashamed to keep a store or run hotel
merely for the sake of the money it
brings them as they now would be to
preach the gospel from any such base
motive. DIR. John Tauler told the
craftsmen of Strasburg, One can spin,
another can make shoes; and these are
gifts of the Holy Ghost, and if were
not doctor of theology l would gladly
be shoemaker, and / would try so to
make shoes that men should see did
it for the love of God and the good of
