Seven in the Scriptures.

Undoubtedly seven is the sacred num-
Der. There are seven days of creation;
after seven days respite the flood came,
the years Of famine and plenty were in
cycles of seven; every seventh day was
Sabbath; every seventh year the Sab
bath of rest; after every seven times
seven years came the jubilee; the feasts
of unleavened bread and of taberna-
cles were observed seven days.
The golden candlesticks had seven
branches; seven priests with seven
trumpets surrounded Jericho seven
times and seven times on the seventh
day; Jacob obtained his wives by serv-
itudes of seven years; Sampson kept
his nuptials seven days and on the
seventh day he put riddle TO his wife.
and he was bound with seven green
withes and seven locks of his hair were
shaved off; Nebuchadnezzar was seven
years a beast; Shadrach and his two
companions in misfortune were cast
into furnace heated seven times more
than it was won't
In the New Testament nearly every
thing occurs by seven. and at the end
of the sacred volume we read of seven
churches. seven candlesticks. seven
spirits. seven scales. seven stars. seven
thunders seven Walls, seven plaques.
seven angels. and seven-headed mon
ster. Such are merely few instances
of the sacred use of the number COM
mon to all nations and all religions. -

HOW JOE FOUND a PLACE.
BY NJ. Il. AXFoRD.

Now Joe was poor little urchin
Who one day came round TO our door;
He was guiltless of shoes and of stockings,
And torn were the clothes that he wore.
His ''mlmmy was sick" so he told us;
And they hadn't a thing left TO eat
But bread and as this was Thanksgiving
He did want to give her treat.
He'd work if we'd let him, to earn it,
Because she'd not like him 10 beg.
Gould we give him place. AS he finished,
l turned, for beside me stood Meg.
II er roguish brown eyes had grown sol
emn,
And her mischievous, little round face
Wore an air quite distressed, so asked her
If she could not give him place
The dimples came back in a moment;
And she clasped in her chubby warm
hand
The little lads fingers, half frozen
His surprise one could well understood.
He followed ner in through the doorway,
Where, taking his shabby old hat,
She then TO the dining-room led him,
And gave him the place where she sat.
The Thanksgiving dinner stood waiting,
Butturning his great wlstful eyes,
He said Cant save'm mine for mammyl
'Twould be such jolly surprise"
Then mamma came forward; though smil-
ing,
Her eyes were fast filling with tears;
But she soon made the little guest welcome
And they drove away all his fears
He should have nice dinner for imam
n.y.
Yes, pie and great turkey leg"
And then room was made for our baby,
His kind little hostess, dear Meg.

HARVEST HYMN.

Once more the liberal year laughs out
Ger richer stories than gems Of gold;
Once more with harvest song and shout
Is natures boldest triumph told.
Our common mother rests and sings
Like Ruth among her garnered sheaves
Her lap is full Of goodly things,
Her brow is bright with autumn leaves.
Oh, favors old, yet ever new;
Oh, blessings with the sunshine sent!
The bounty overruns our due,
The fullness shames our discomfort.
We shut our eyes, the bowers bloom on;
We murmur, but the corn-ears fill;
We choose the shadow, but the sun
That casts its shine behind us still
Gives us, with our rugged soil,
The power TO make it Eden fair,
And richer fruits TO crown our toll,
Than summer-wedded islands bear.
Who murrnurs at his los to-dayl
Who scorns his native fruit and bloom,
Or signs for dainties far away,
Besides the bounteous board Of homel
Thank heaven, instead, that freedoms arm
Can change rocky soil 10 gold;
That brave and generous lives can warm
A cline with northern ices cold.
And by these affairs wreataed with flowers
And fields with fruits awake again
Thanksgiving for the golden hours,
The earlier and the later rain.
John G.. Whittier.
