a school OF the prophets, and also the
Seat of one of JerOboam's golden calves,
with its indolatrous worship. Almost
the first fruit of irreligiOn in j community
is seen in the boys and young men. A
rabble OF these went out when Elisha
was seen approaching with Elijah's man
tie over his shoulders. They were not
merely little children, for the Hebrew
word is applied to Isaac when a young
man (Gen. xxi, 12l. and to Joseph when
seventeen years old Gen. xxxvii, p. Kitto
calls attention TO the fact that the epithet
"little" is dropped where the forty-twO
who are slain are mentioned, so that
there is every reason to suppose that the
forty-two OF them who were destroyed
were the oldest ones, the ringleaders of
the set.
This rabble shouted out to Elisha, in
mOckery: 30 up. thou bald headi' It
is possible that Elisha was bald; but il is
not probable. as he was in the prime of
life, having nearly sixty years before him.
1t is more probable that the expression
was but q scurrllous epithet, such as Is now
used sometimes in India OF people with
abundant hair. Badness in those DAYS was
chiefly the result of leprosy, and implied
loathsome disease, moral worthlessness
and mental imbecility. "Go up" was
sheer at Elishas claims to be the successor
of Elijah, of whose ascension they had
heard. "If you are a prophet like Elijah,
then go up to heaven like him."
Elisha turned toward them and invoked
the curse of God upon them, and two
bears came forth and slew forty-two Of
them. 1t is not said that Elisha asked
this, but il was Gods way of expressing
His disapproval.
This seems a very severe punishment.
But u it was Just. No wrong was done,
and all the youth of the community would
be made better. (2) 1t was necessary for
a vindicatiOn of Elisha, and the prophetic
work of lifetime that lay before him. 80
Love, with all its gentleness, has the
power and the need sometimes 10 WELD
the divine lightnings. From the heart Of
love itself came the most terrible WOE
unto you, hypocutes" Love kills tbs
vipers that are staying the true children
Love puts out OF the way the wild beasts
that rayage the land.

A Paraphrn.e-Joab's Trouble.

And when the morn had come the
deacon arose and called Jo-ab, Jo-ab,
come hither." And Joab arose and sought
in the darkness for his trousers that he
had left in far away room, and Joab
endeavored, by thumb and finger, TO open
mis- gummed and swollen eyes, Tor Joab's
eyes were heavy with much watching
with the fair daughters OF Sharon, for with
many reviyals and socals had Joab sought
TO spend the winter.
And now that the spring was come,
and Joeb stood with his thumb in his eve
and wished for his working trousers. The
faint voice of his father sounded up the
stairway from the far-off kitchen, and Joab
gave ear TO its refreshing sound for Joab
was weary with much dancing! all night
had he marched 10 the sound OF vol and
banjo, and now as he stood in the dark
ness trying to think where lie had left
his working trousers, the sound of that
familiar voice came family: "Joab JOab!
come hither,p and Joah arose and went
and stood in the chilled hallway while
his mother went and brought his trousers,
and the deacon said:
"Joab, go and feed the horses an fodder
the cattle, milk the COWS, slop the hogs
and split stovewood till breakfast"
And Joab bowed and went, for Joab's
limbs were weary and his head was ach-
ing from much cigarette smoking, and he
stood leaning over the big pen and cried;
ooh, my stomach Oh, my stomach
Would to God ] had never seen pickles
and hard CIDER
And Joab went up above the haymOw
and lay him down TIL Breakfast was
ready, and Joab came YEARLY unto the
breakfast table, whiie his mother be-
sought him that he might take some
cofie that his hesd might feel a little bet
ter, and the deacon arose and charged
him, saying:
Take thy brother and 90 out into the
woods and split fence posts"
JOab answered him, saying: 81 thought
] was to keep chooltoday while the hired
man and the tenant split the posts"
The deacon answered and said Nay,
verify, the hired man and the tenant have
fed the farm for l have no more solid
wheels of silver 70 lay before them. The
trust and the combine have swallowed up
my corn and my fatlngs, and truly are
We in the hands of the Lord. Go my son
and do IS ] bid you"
And JOab buttOned UP his vest and went.

and JOab's brother commanded the rear
and had with him the maui and wedge.
They gave battle to the deacon's tall tim
Der and there was a mighty slaughter
there that day of good language And
JOab was weary with slaughter and he
came and hanged his great coat in a tree
ald sat him down on an old Jog with his
brother to a game OF cards. Ard the
deacon's mule came and saw the coat
hanging there, and taking the coat i'll his
mouth he swallowed it, buttons and all.
And when Joab came and stood by and
saw what the mule had done he was
angry, and fell upon him end beat him
with many stripes. And when Joab came
home in the evening and his brother re-
lated all that had happened, the deacon
arose and went ont into the woodshed and
Joab followed after him. And there Joab
repented in chips and ashes.

There's ull in the joy-tids OF fond hearts today,
And eyes, that with Joyous expectancy shone,
Now loot through the mists of grief-shadowed way,
And voices that cheered have 4 saddening tone.
Emma Abbott, the great prims donna is dead,
No, not dead, only passed from a high earthly
stage
To the joys Of a radiant CLINE overhead,
In life-wOrk exalted her powers to engage
Whose prospects are brighter than hers we're when
here.
As she cheertuily sang through the hOpe-brighten-
ed days.
Who more nObly hath striven for an honored career
And won from the people high need OF prAise7
Yet depressing TO hope and ambition as we'll.
Over whose early life has darker cloud hung?
And for efforts protracted, all fears to dispel
For whom should triumph song sveeter be sung?
Like the eagle that to the Hottest crsg,
With spirit too earnest to falter or fail.
She sang with psthos too fsrvent to flag,
Americas Lind, and beloved nightingale.
She gave TO the world an e1smpls sublime,
That TO genius should be as a star of the age
Showing woman may pass through the glitter OF
time
And With virtue aud honor illumine the stage
genius, the gifted one knelt at thy ,hrinsl
She won, by vell-doing, slnbitlor's high goal;
And her light FaDe's altar faint hearts should
Incline
With an unyielding viii times events 10 control.
Americas daughters, fair. gifted and free,
Take heart from the light that looms the way,
The ambitious one trOd, ever seeming TO see
The goal Of her longing draw nearer each day.
Take heart from the trlumphs thy fair sister won;
young,
And Frightened her way till her liieworS done,
Then announced that in heaven her next song
would be sung.
Though her voice on the stage has forever been
stlled,
As full-handed donor, free-hearted to give.
In the hearts of people with gratitude filed,
Emma Abbott in grateful remembrance will live.

Away From Home.

Away FROM Home
Away from home and from those things,
That memory DER my vision brings:
Fair views of each familiar scene,
Old fields Of JOY erased DER in green,
A lively color, bright 20 glow,
When all around is dark with woe
Away from home.
Away from homo my heart is light,
While gloating DER each scene tonight,
While viewing over what I've seen,
While thinking over what has been,
There comes to me light Of love,
From clouds that lower up above
Away from home.
Away from home; I'm not away
While humming my old roundelayi
While passing long the busy street
/ hear the birds wild chipping sweet,
And childhood's laugh aud housecats song
Comes TO me when the hours are long
Away from home.

Ties.


While thinking Ger the varied past
There comes before my eyes,
This little word, with meaning vast,
Which never-never dies.
Companion to another, worn,
Whose cherished name is love.
In songs Of praise it should be heard
BY angels, far above.
I'm speaking Of those golden Ties,
The ties which bind toy, thsr.
such memories will often rise,
Which naught OF time can sever
The ties of youth, the ties of age
OF love, and friendship dear;
o reader! what golden page
We might leave every year.
Youth vanishes, but not its ties,
Though swift the years are feeting,
With memory's dust some fond hope lies.
Some anxious heart still beating.
The ties which bind q mothers heart
OF earthly ties the strongest,
Are woven round us from the start
And stay with us the longest.
And II her home be in the skies
Among the angel throng.
Talk not to me OF severed ties
When they are doubly strong.
such ties as these blessed ties,
Where trust and truth will center,
Peace marks their portal In the skies
Where faithful ones may enter.
Should the recording angel dare
To Us unvell the book.
have il in my mind just where
Ny eager eyes would look
And as the golden leaves we're famed
BY some mysterious breeze,
I'd ask that powerful angel hand
To stay them At the rs.

Lessons From Jericho.

!. The best things are often marred by
some evil: rs personal beauty, by ILL
temper or selishness; a good reputation
by some act of folly; noble character, by
weakness or hobbies; piety by some un'
lovely defect; lovelness, by want of
energy and energy and zeal by the want
of divine love. We need the healing OF
divine grace in the heart, the imparting
OF the holy spirit.
2. What moro could the Lord have
done for us than he has done2 (See Isiah
V; ), ~ The full and blessed light Of
Gods truth shines upon our habitations.
We have Christian training and homes,
the love and care of God, a thousand help
full influences. What situation could bs
more pleasant, more favorable to our
spiritual prospects2 The good seed Is
sown but the ground is barren, and we
do not bring forth the fruits of the spirit,
for which the Lord looks. We need the
renewal of the heart; we need the Gift Of
the holy spirit.
3. The world is like this city of Jeriy
cho. Very good, as God made it, a won.
derfully beautiful and happy world, mar.
Yelous in its resources for the good Ofmen;
but the moral condition is very bad.
"Only man is vile" Christians are TO be
the salt OF the earth. They are like
Elisha to send the healing of the gospel
to all the sources of moral conduct. They
are to carry its consultations 10 all needs
and sorrows The waters must be healed
at the fountain head. That religion whick
changes The heart il the only effective re-
ligion. Not commerce, nor the arts OF
civilization, nor the treasures of literature,
but the gospel, can purify the springs OF
the world, and bring the milennium.-P.
