WISE SAYINGS.

AS you learn, teach; as you get
give; as you receive, distribute. -Spur-
geon.
--Despise not little duties; they have
been to many saved man an excellent
discipline of humility.
Giving for God is not the only way
to gain Observation-Disclosures; but our
unwillingness to give for Him maj
stand in the way OF our entering into
fuller blessing.-Rev. P. l.. Hunter.
Give not thy tongue too great lib
erty lest it take thee prisoner. A word
unspoken is, like the sword in the
scabbard, thine. If vented, thy sword
| is in another's hand. If thou desire to
be held wise, be so wise as to hold thy
tongue. -Quarles
Our bodies are seven-day clocks that
must be wound up as often as that, or
they will run down. Failure must come
sooner or later to the man who break
the Sabbath. Inspiration has called it
the Lords day, and he who devotes it to
the world is guilty of robbery.-Tal-
mage, in N. Y. Observer.
There is no greater mistake than to
suppose that Christians can impress the
world by agreeing with it. No; it is
not conformity that we want; it is not
being able to beat the world in its own
way; but it is to stand apart and above
it and produce the impression Of holy
and separate life. This only can give
us true Christian power.
Our kindred dead are not lost to us
as objects of affectionate thought; and
We have no reason 10 suppose that we
are lost to them as objects of thought.
There is no mental destruction on either
side. The living and the dead are sim.
ply so separated from each other for the
time being that all conscious communion
between them, while the former remain
in this world, is completely suspended

ten, the only one Ph.llis had spared
No more attention for Tip; not even
turn of the head or glance as he passed
by; and as day after day went on with
no change, the dog could bear 1t no
longer.
Suddenly, without warning, he sprang
{! forward, seized the kitten by the neck
and dashed like lightning from the yard,
and before the cries of puss could bring
help Tip had reached the wharf and
dropped his luckless rival into the
| water.
We boys, though forced to confess that
snatching an only child from its mother
wasn't the truest spirit of knighthood,
were all ready to pat Tip in secret for
his brilliant stroke. But father took no
such view of tho case. Tip had COM
mitted robbery and murder to make
room for his own selfish interests, and
should be horsewhipped. We went away
that we might not witness his disgrace
or hear his cries.
We made secret plans for comforting
Tip, but he was not to be found. and
morning failed to discover him. Had he
turned his back on us forever, was the
question we were asking one another,
when schoolmate called over the fence:
Saw your dog at your Cousin Ten
brooks an hour ago!'
"At Cousin Tenbrook's! guess not
much! We took him there last summer,
when we went to the country and he
wouldn't stay day! He came back and
sat on the steps, and lived on stray
crusts till we got home"
The boy was telling the truth and we
were starting to bring Tip home when
father stopped us. Tip was feeling his
disgrace, and ought to feel it, and we
should let him alone. In a fortnight
with tail erect and amid shouts of well
come, Tip stalked into the yard.
1t was not long before he redeemed
his character. and did it, as we thought,
a thousand times over.
We had him out walking with us,
when runaway horse appeared dash
ing at fearful speed, dragging behind
him an elegant sleigh, containing a
child.
Some people stood out of the way as
the sleigh sped down the street, others
stepped nearer and brandished their
arms and shouted. Tip stood beside u.s.,
his eyes fixed upon the approaching an
imal. Nearer, nearer! but not hair Of
Tips tail stirred until the sleigh was
almost opposite us. Then, with bound
he reached the horses side, and Selling
the bride, hung with his whole weight
upon the bit.
The horse, frantic as he had seemed q
moment before, hesitated, and in mo-
ment stood still.
Every year added glory to Tips record,
but he was growing old. And at last a
remark was incautiously dropped by
mother that she did not know how much
longer he could be tolerated about the
house.
The next morning Tip was again miss
ing and found at Cousin Tenbrook's but
not to return. Noentreaty or command
could move him. Not look would he
bestow upon my mother. He had
left us. and all previous relations were
ignored for the few days remaining to
him.
Then we claimed him once more, and
this time without resistance. Solemnly
we brought home all that was left OF
Tip, and committed to the one poor pine
slab the only record we knew how to
make of his sagacity and intelligence

Marvellous Spinners,

A spider has four little bags of thread,
such little bags! In every bag there are
more than thousand holes, such tiny,
tiny holes! Out Of each hole thread runs,
and all the threads-more than four
thousand-she spins together as they
run, and when they are all spun they
make but one thread Of the web she
weaves. There lisa member of the fam.

THREescoRe AND TEN.

Threescorc and ten! How the tide rolls on,
Nearing the limitless sea;
Bearing the voyager over Life food
To boundless Eternity;
On through ChildhOod's sunny hours,
ON through Youth with its golden bowers.
[ on through Manhood's ripened powers,
Till Age appears
With its crown OF years;
And the time worn mariner, signing for rest,
Anchors at last in the port OF the Blest.
Thrcescore and ton! How the rolling years
Are checkered with sunshine and shade!
The calm chased away by the pitiless storm
Earth's Joy into sorrow must fade!
Spring with its bloom and perfume sped;
Fruit laden Summer quickly fled;
Then Autumn came with heavy tread.
Bowed with the load
OF treasured food;
And then stern Winter, with frosty breath,
Throws over the fields the pail OF Death.
Threescoro and ten! And II we shall reach
The bound that to life is thus set,
How few of the comrades of early years
Around us will linger yet!
Fathers and mothers-their journey Ii

Brothers and sisters-they greet us nc

Our loved ones stand thronging the fur.
Their. shore.
They beckon MS on;
They point to the crown;
And there with longing hearts they wait,
To lead US through the pearly gate.
Threescore and ten! And the SHOWS of years
Are resting upon the brow;
And as backward we glance DER the way W.

Before God our Father we bow;
And we bring to Him our grateful praise
Whose mercies have crowned us through
all our days;
And we fervently pray Life's setting rays
Through love divine,
May cloudless shine
Till they melt away in the purer light,
Illuming the land which knows no night.
Threescore and ten! Stand firm In thy lot,
Faithful anG true to the end;
Bending thine ear to catch every word
OF the message the Master doth send
Wakeful thine eye, for far spent is thu
night;
Furnished thine armor. thou Soldier O
Light;
Ready to march, for tho Day Starts bright
Bold in the fight
For Truth and Right!
Thou O conqueror shall stand,
With the joyous, blood bought band.
Threescore and ten! And what shall we adj
To measure the earthly strife?
How many sands are left In the glass,
Counting the years of lifcY
Oneby one they silently fall;
One by one, till have fallen all;
One by one, till thy God shall call:
