To the hescue.

A storm swept the Atlantic and
hurled the pillows upon the coast of
England and ship was thrown on the
rocks. The night fell dark and lower
ing. The storm rose higher as the
night deepened. Fires were kndled all
along the shore, if by any means to
help those who were needing help.
The life-boat was manned. Through
the breakers and into the storm they
went to the rescue. BY and by they
came back with all on board save one
man; and John Holden, who stood
upon the shore, cried, "Have you all
the ships company" They answered,
not get him?" - Well, our strength
was well-nigh gone, and if we had tar
ried long enough to rescue him we
would all have been engulfed in the
pitiless sea-" Then John Holden said,
"These men who have been to the res
cue are well-nigh exhausted Who is
there who will 60 with me to rescue
the one man?' and six sturdy fellows
came forward promptly. Then John
Holdeu's mother threw her arms about
his neck and said, "John, don't 90!
Your father was swallowed up by the
angry ocean, and your brother William
two years ago went out upon the sea,
and fear that he is lost, too, for we
have not heard of him since. You
are the stay of my life and my
only dependence. Who will care for
me if the sea swallows you, also?"
Then John Holden, with his firm,
strong grasp, took those arms in which
he had reposed in innocent infancy
and removed them from his neck; and
then he said, as he pushed his mother
gently aside, There is a man there
drowning aud l must go, mother. If
the sea swallows me, God will take care
of you; I'm sure he will" Kissing her
furrowed cheek, he turned and stepped
into the lfe-boat which was already
manned. They pushed out through the
breakers and to the wreck. They found
the man still clinging TO the rigging and
getting him into the boat pulled back
to the shore. AS the boat neared the
shore, some one shouted, Have you
found the man?" Yes" answered
John Holden, "and rescued him; and
say to my old mother that it is my
brother William,'
| say to you, my friends, that these
millions of the present generation, WAC
are going down amid the wreck of
eternal night, the pillows of sin sweep.
ing over them, bound and enslaved by
the chains of passion, you and l are
comm nded to man the life boat, with
the help and blessing of God, and 90 to
their rescue; for every one of them is

he is black or yellow, whether he is
savage or semi-civilzed, or moves

vindictive assailants. As soon as he
realized that we, too, were in distress,
and could give no assistance, he ran
blindly to a stream that flowed through
the meadow not far away, and, plung-
ing in, dived clear beneath the surface.
We followed him, and only ventured to
crawl out from the friendly element
when we were assured that the enemy
had withdrawn. Then we sat on the
bank of the stream, and looked at each
other dolefully through our swollen,
purple eyelids, while the water dripped
from our clothing, and hundred sting
ing wounds reminded us what eXce,-
sively funny fun we had been having
with Rover.
"The poor dog, innocent and free
from guile himself, judged us accord
ingly, and creeping up to me, licked
my hand in silent sympathy. Then
some dormant sense of justice asserted
itself within me.
"'Boys,' l said, 'we've had an
awful time, but l tell you what, it
served us right
Neither of them contradicted me,
and, rising stifly, we went slowly
homeward, with Rover at our heels.
"That, my boy" said Mr.. Stanley in
conclusion, " is a good instance of po-
etc justice. "-Selected.

A Touching Incident.

There are often wells of thought and
feeling in childhood, of whose depths
parents little dream. We are so accus-
toned to think of our chidren's tastes,
desires and will as being reflections of
our own that we too often forget to
study their natures, recognize their in
dividuality, and treat them as sentient
beings. With such RI Elections | listened
to the relation of the following touch.
ing incident:
A little girl of this ci y, about ten
years of age, was visiting her aunt in
the country They were discussing
certain book, and the aunt remarked
"Your birthday is near; perhaps
your mamma will buy it for you for
birthday present"
A tinge of sadness rested on the sweet
young face as she quickly answered:
She could give me something else |
would rather have-some.h iny would
rather have than anything else in the
world"
"Well, Pm sure" said her aunt
"your mamma will get it for you if it
does not cost too much.'
1t will not cost money!" replied the
child, lit will not cost any thing"
But she could not then be persuaded
to tell what it was. After a long time
the shrinking little spirit said:
"Auntie, l will tell you part; it is
something she gave me before little
brother came. 1t is just not to do some
thing for that one day; now don't you
known"
The discerning aunt drew the little
one to her and asked:
Is it that mamma should no. scold
you on your birthday?n
a trembling "Yes," and long the
dear head rested in silence on the bo-
som of that loving, patient aunt.
May the reading of this little story do
other mothers good, as the writing of il
has done me good. That mother is a
precious woman. | know she loves her
little daughter as tenderly as i do mine.
She just didn't think how each impa-
tient word was wearing sore in that
sensitive little heart. She didn't think
she was robbing her child's future of
the sweet memories of beautiful child
hood. She didn't think how she was
cramping the powers of lovely Split
that needed continual sunshine for
their development. Mothers, pau Sc and

Six Things.

Six things which a boy ought to
know: First, that quiet voice, cour-
tesy, and kind acts are essential to the
part in the world of a gentleman, as
of gentlewoman, Second, that rouI h-
ness, clustering, and even foolhardiness
are not manliness. The most firm and
courageous men have usually been the
most gentle. Third, that muscular
strength is not health. Fourth, tina. a
brain crammed only with facts is not
necessarily wise one. Fifth, that the
labor impossible to boy of fourteen
will be easy to the man of twenty.
Sixth, that the best capital for boy is
not money, but love of work, simple
tastes, and heart loyal to his friends
and his God.-Selected.

The Blessedne,s of Giving.

Oh, that men woul accept the testi-
mony of Christ touching the blessed
ness of giving. He who sacrifices most
loves most; and be who loves most is
most blessed. Love and sacrifice are
related to each other like seed and fruit /;
each produces the other. The seed of
sacrifice brings forth the fragrant fruit
OF love, and love always has in its heart
the seeds of new sacrifice. He who
gives lat part is not made perfect in
love. Love rejoices to give all; it does
not measure its sacrifice. 1t was judas,
not Mary, who calculated the value of
the alabaster box of ointment. He
who is infinitely blessed is the infinite
Giver; and man, made in his likeness,
was intended to find his highest bles
seduess in the completest self-giving.
He who receives, but does not give, is
like the Dead Sea. All the fresh floods
of Jordan cannot sweeten its dead, salt
depths. So all the streams of Gods
bounty cannot sweeten a heart that has
no outlets ever receiving, yet never
full and ovelfl Jwing. If those whoe
horizon is as narrow as the bushS
under which they hide their light coplf
be persuaded to make the princiE e5pf,
Christian giving regnant in theirSlite,
their happiness would be in@eAseA s.
much as their usefulness.-IEy. 0PS 4

Too Busy to Pray.

Jesus appears to have devoted him
self especially to prayer at times when
his life was unusually full Of work and
excitement. His was very busy life:
there were neatly always "many COM
ing AID going" about him. Sometimes,
however, there was such a congestion
of thronging objects that he had scarcely
time to eat. But even then he found
time to pray. Indeed, these appear to
have been with him seasons of more
prolonged prayers than usual. Thus
we read; $50 much the more went there
a fame abroad of him, and great multi
tules came together to hear and to be
healed by him of their iniirmities, but
he withdrew himself into the wider
ness and prayed" Many in our day
know what this congestion of occupa-
ton is-they are swept off their feet
with their engagements, and can
scarcely find time to eat. We make
this reason for not praying. Jesus
made it reason for praying. Is there
any doubt which is the better course?
Many of the wisest have in this respect
done as Jesus did. When Luther had
a specially busy and exciting day he al
lowed himself longer time than usual
for prayer beforehand. A wise man
once said that he was too busy to be in
hurry; he meant that if he allowed
himself to become hurried he could not
do all he had to do. There is nothing
like prayer for producing this calm self
possession. When the dust of business
30 fills your room that it threatens to
choke you, sprinkle it with the water
of prayer, and then you can cleanse it
out with comfort and expedition
