THE CRUISE THAT FAILETH NOT.

Is thy cruise of comfort waising? rise and share
1t with another,
And through all the years of famine, it shall
serve thee and thy brother.
Love divine will fill thy storehouse; or thy hand
full still renew;
scanty fare for one will often make royal
feast for two.
For the heart grows rich in giving; all Its wealth
is living grain:
Seeds that mildew in the garner. scattered, fill
with gold the plain.
Is thy burden hard and heavy? do thy steps
drug YEARLY?
Helm to bear thy brothers burden; God Will
bear both it aud thee.
NUMB and weary on the mountains, Wou1dst
thou sleep amidst the snow?
Chafe the frozen form beside thee, and together
both shall glow.
Art thou stricken in life's battlef Many wouno
ed round thee moan:
Lavish on their wounds thy oalsams' anu 'La'
balm shall heal thy own
Ia the heart well left empty? None but GOD
its void can fill;
Nothing but a ceaseless Fountain can its cease
less longings fill.
Is the heart a living power? self-entwined
its strength sinks low;
Tt can only live in loving, and by serving love
will grow. r-n,,

Mr.. Randalps Testimony to Religion.

Mr. John T. Miller relates this circum- :
stance of the late Congressman Randall
ssTwo years ago happened to be in the
room of the House Committee on Appro-
priations talking with several members OF
the committee Randall, then chairman
of the committee, sat in his place at the
head of the table writing letters, and ap-
parently paving no attention to the con-
versation. We talked about many sub
jects, and finally drifted past philosophy
into religion. l said nothing on this
latter subject, but all the others expressed
in turn skeptical views of religion. APP
parently Randall was not listening, but
when we got through he rose to his feet
in that masterful way which made him so
impressive in the House, his face stern
but bright, and he said in his crisp way ::
Gentlemen, Christianity is truth. The
man who doubts it discredits his own in
telligence. [ have examined this matter
fr myself think l never heard any
thing more ,lemn or impressive. No one
else had word to say" We have not very
much cor f lence in what is said about great
men who did not make public profession
of religion before their death; but as
Speaker Randall had taken the solemn
step which Christ declares is essential Tor
all. that of confessing Him before
the world, the incident is consistent and
credible

She was finally ordered South again, and
before she reached the fever district a
case was developed and the patient died.

Do Thv Best.

Though the majority of people never
rise beyond mediocrity, this is no excuse
for sighting ones work, or for doing
nothing at all. The injunction to all is to
act, and anything worth doing at all is
worth engaging all the energies of the
doer and he who conscientiously attempts
the highest, and labors the best he can,
gains in the action satisfaction that is
his highest reward. Not only is this true.
but it is usually the same kind of labor
that leads to prosperity. A young painter
was directed by his master to complete
picture on which the master had been COM
pelled to suspend his labors on account Of
his growing inGrmities. Il commission
thee, my son. said the aged artist, ito do
thy best on this work. Do thy best. !"
The Young man had such reverence for his
masters skill that he felt incompetent to
touch canvas which bore the work of that
renowned hand. But, s.Do thy best" was
the masters calm reply and again to
repeat solicitation, he answered, edo thy
best The youth tremblingly seized the
brush, and, kneeling before his appointed
work, he prayed at is for the sake Of
INV beloved master that implore skill and
power to do this deed" His hand grew
steady as he painted. Slumbering genius
awoke in his eye. Enthusiasm took the
place of fear. Forgetfulness of himself
supplanted his self-distrust and with
calm Joy he finished his labor. The
"beloved MASTER" was borne on his couch
into the studio to pass judgment on the
result. AS his eye fell upon the triumph
of art before him. he burst into tears, and
throwing his arms around the young
artist, he exclaimed : "My son, paint NJ
more !" That youth, Leonardo dc Vinci
became the painter Of 'sThe Last Supper,
the ruins of which, after the lapse of three
hundred years, still attract annually to tn
1 refectory of an obscure convent in Milan
