Down in a Diving Bell.

Have you ever been under the water
in diving-beli? | have; and very
glad | was to get up again. The bottom
of the divlng-bCl Il is open Just like an
ordinary bell or tumbler, and all the
time we were below air was being
pumped into the bell through tubes
from above. Without this constant
supply of air we could not have lived.
We were out of our natural clement.
As fish can not live out of water, so
neither could we exist under the water
except under special conditions. The
fresh air coming into the bell kept the
water out of it and kept us alive. Had
it not been for this constant stream of
pure air we must have died by drown
ing or suffocation, Now, every man,
woman, boy and airl born into this
world is, in one sense, like a person in
diving-bell. We are made for heaven,
not merely for earth. We need the air
of heaven, or our souls can not live.
This beautiful earth suits our bodies,
but our spirits require something more.
We need the atmosphere which is from
above. God supplies us with the breath
of spiritual life. He give us the Bible,
the Holy Spirit, Sunday-his holy day
and means of grace to help our souls IN
this life and to prepare us for the next;
and if we inhale the divine air which
God supplies for our use our souls will
live, and our spiritual life will act upon
our bodies and make us happy, good,
and useful. Long ago St. Augustine
said: 40 Lord, thou hast made us for
thyself, and our hearts can find no rest
until they rest in thee" He had learned
a great truth, This is the beginning of
al wisdom. And Augustine would
have been much happier in his younger
days, and saved his good mother much
anxiety, had he learned this truth
earlier.-Reu. Arthur FmldySon, in the
Inquirer.

The Way Will Be Cleared as We Ge.

The driver of the tram-car through
the streets Of our city starts with his
car upon a line which runs continu-
ously to his journeys end. If he goes
on straight ahead, he will surely come
10 the destined place. Should he be
able to see all the route at once he
would observe many coal-wagons, fur
niture-vans, timber. carriages, brewers
drsys and the like blocking up his road
along the rails, and he might mourn
fully ask: How can l move all
these ?n But he takes no such length.
ened view and asks no such useless
question. As he moves along all sorts
of obstructive traffic gives way before
him-even the van demons yield him
the road. When one of them is little
slow in getting out of the way our
driver blows his whistle, and, otter two
or three shrill appeals, the obstinate
vehicle retires. As the rails run all
the way, so does the car. Just so we
are on the rails of eternal life. Be-
tween us and heaven there are thou
sand Instructions, and if we think of
them all we may well be fearful, but
they will one and all disappear as we
come to them. If they should seem
likely to bar our progress we must
sound the whistle of prayer, and in due
season they will turn aside and leave
us clear road along the lines of cove
naut grace. Therefore, go ahead, and
fear no impeachment, for the line is laid,
and we have legal right to travel
along it, and none may lawfully hinder
US. This is what | learned from the
driver of the tram-car,-C. II. Spur

Selected Storm.
The Two Workers.

Two workers in one field
Toiled on from day to day;
Both had the same hard labor,
Both had the same small pay
with the same blue sky above,
The same green earth below,
one soul was full of love,
The other full of woe.
one leaped up with the light,
with the soaring of the lark;
one felt 1t ever night,
For his soul was ever dark.
one heart was hard as stone,
one heart was ever gay,
one worked with many groan,
one whistled all the day.
one had a flower clad cot
Beside merry mill,
Wife and children near the spot
Made it sweeter, fairer still.
one a wretched hovel had,
Full Of discord, dirt and din
No wonder he seemed mad
Wife and children starved within.
Still, they worked in the same field
Toiling on from day to day;
Both had the same hard labor,
Both had the same small pay.
But they worked not with one will.
The reason let me tell;
Lol the one drank at the still
And the other at the well.

Simplicity.

Take, Lord, the little I can do;
For love counts nothing small,
And lowly service serveth true
In gladly giving all.
To stay one weary heart in pain,
One cheering word to say,
To help one sufferer sing again,
Suficeth for the day.
In simple errands, silent praise,
And pure obedience trod,
So, one by one, shall all my days
Be hid with Christ in God.

Ceases ere long to bless; hence, as L swing,
I'm silently rebelllng against fate
And getting very weary of this thing.
And yet sit and smile, the while yearn
For some one else to come and take turn.

To know that other fellows fret and pine

Spur the sore spirit to its task again,
When thou art jaded i'm the race for fame,
When thou art goaded on by fear or shame,
Till every thought in every human heart
Seems hostile, and thou lOathest that thou art:
Turn from thy mistress world to mother earth;
Lull thy strained ear with the low throb OF
tides,
That beat their rhythm ages ere thy birth.
Nor heed thee now; list as the storm wind rides
In vast and thunderous circuit. and OerstrIdes
Millions like thee; and soon shall all thy care
Merge in the ebbing waves, and melt in air.

Sweet haky drifts of elder snow

Between gray slanting bars.

With golden daisy stars.

By pebbles smooth and white,
Where, ebbing down the meadows edge,
The creek slips out of sight
And by and by, half seen along
The dropping Willows shade.
The heedless-hearted childish throng
Comes trooping down to wade.
They dimple all the shallow shoals,
And rapturously stand
With bare feet printing tiny soies
Into the yielding sand.
