HuMAN JUDGMENTS.

Jesus never mentioned any of earthis great
men tso-calledl with words of praisa. There
had been great conquerors before his time,
like Alexander he Great but he never al
lnded to them There had been philosophers,
like Plato and Aristotle and Socrates, but he
never spoke of them. Rich men had received
the notice of their fellow men, but he never
mentioned them by name. None Of those
sssrs human history speaks most largely
NOT Il word or communication from
a'9Sr his apostles in later years. This
should bid us pause, and make US stop to
think whether our human judgments are not
totally faulty Have we not put the seal Of
greatness where it does not Selong2
In what respect is the world better doday
for the existence of the rich man like CroRsus,
Of conquerors like Alexander, of philoso-
pliers ike Plato, of authors like Cicero2
What really valuable thing should we lose
had such men never existed? Gather all the
conquerors Of the world together, and say
whether they have been as useful TO the
world as enc John Bunyan or one John Yves
ley. Put all your philosophical books to
gether. and declare whether they have ac-
complished as much for humanity as the
epistle of Paul 10 the Galatians. Match
Bismarck and Luther. and judge whether
politician or preacher has the best of it in
the long run. On the other hand, if you
blot out Abraham Joseph, Moses. David
the singer, Elijah, Isaiah, John the Baptist,
Paul. from human history, you usher in
blaclness Of darkness. f. SchGuCier.

The Fakir and Fakine.

The verb eto fake" and its present
participle ''faking" are going into more
general use day by day. The origin of
the word is obvious enough, so that news
paper readers have not been treated to
any genealogical or historical disquisi-
tons on this head as is the case with
the expression Sin the soup" It of
course comes from a free use of the noun
''fakir," who in his pristine impurity be-
longs to the distant and perfumed Orient,
but who is now to be found, or at least
United States reproductions of him are to
be discovered, along Nassau street vend-
ing all sorts of articles, which usually
bear every evidence of having been man
ufactured in hurry. ''Faking," there
fore, is to do something without proper
material and frequently without proper
skill. The word has been more generally
adopted by the theatrical profession than
any other, and is applied to performances
that are to a great extent unprecedented
either because the lines of the dialogue or
business have been forgotten by the player
or have never been learned. Zone

Written for aged saints.l
You are nearing the heavenly portals.
As the weary days go by,
Nearing the City OF Refuge,
Nearing the home on high.
Nearing the many mansions
Which the Saviou- has prepared
For the dear ones he has ransomed,
Who his life on earth have shared.
Cling close to the blessed Jesus
As the mortal weaker grows
He will bear you safely over,
Where the living water flows
There no night shall cast its shadow,
There no tear shall dim the eye;
There you'll rest, secure forever,
With the Saviour always nigh.
Is the journey long, my sister?
Are you weary with the strife?
Does your patience almost falter.
Are you weary with this life?
You shall praise the Lord more loudly,
You shall shout the glad refrain
With clear, sweeter music,
In return for every pain
He doth SIT as a refner,
You have read of IL oft l know,
He shall find the true, pure metal,
Though the process may seem slow.
May your faith and love grow stronger,
And your hope AMI anchor prove,
Holding fast, and never wavering,
Which no power shall ever move.
And when the message cOmeth,
Be it morn, or noon, or night,
May you ready be and waiting,
And like victor claim your right.
1t shall be a crown of glory,
1t shall be a new name. too,
1t shall be a home with Jesus,
1t is pledged for such as you.
When you reach the blessed mansion,
When you grasp the Saviour's hand,
You'll forget the weary earth-life
While you rest in Beulah land.

''Of what avail are our prayers?' how
many seriously ask who for a season pray,
earn silly and sincerely, it may be, for some
specific object, and with no apparent success.
The fault is with themselves, somehow or
somewhere; for that Word which is true and
faithful has declared that no prayer is offered
in vain that comes from a devOut and earnest
soul IN ezaeileat living writer, Rev.. Aus
tin Phelps has thus spoken of PRAYER:
'sPrayer has and God has determined that it
should have positive and anappreciable in
huence in directing the course OF human
life. 1t is, and God has purposed that it
should be a link of connection between
human mind, by which, through his infinite
condescension, we may actually move
His win. 1t is, and God has decreed that it
should be, power in the universe. as dis
tinct, as real as natural, and as uniform. as
the power of gravitation, or of light or of
electricity. a man may Use it, as trustingiy
and as soberly as he would use either Of them.
It is truly the dictate of good sense, that
man should expect to achieve something by
praying, as it IS that he should expect to
achieve something by a telescope, or the
mariners compass, or the electric telegraph
With such a view of prayer, what devout
person can be discouraged, when he APP
proaches the throne of grace? God says he
will hear and answer prayer and it must be
nnbelief, lack of faith, or the regarding
iniquity in the heart, that prevents the
blessing. 1T is Mr. Bickersteth, a de
voted English clergyman, who died in 1850
who says: Every prayer of the Christian
made in faith, according to the viii of God
for that which God has promised, offered up
in the name of Jesus Christ, and under the
influence Of his spirit, whether for temporal
or spiritual blessings, is, or will be. fully an
swered-" DR.. Payson and other eminent di
vines express themselves in similar language.
Who doubts that God hears and answers
fervent, persistent prayer must have no
faith in His word, or in the sentiments adj
vaneed by Luther, the fathers and the
church, and all good men IN every age of the
world.-Hdrtford Rel Herald

THE intelligence of shepherd dogs
Is one of the well-known facts of canine
history, and many stories are told o.
the manner in which they distinguish
sheep by the different marks. A
shepherd dog without sheep feels that
his occupation is gone, especially if he
has been trained to herd flock. Not
long ago people of small village
we're in great distress. Not a child
could be 1orfz. After a long search
there was a great outcry. All the
small children of the village were
found in a deserted yard watched over
by shepherd dog. Not having any
sheep, he had followed his instinct by
collecting all the children of the place
into one fold.
