SONGS Of THEIR YOUTH.

They Have Comforted Many an Aged Pill
grim With Foreshadowed Glimpses of
Canaan.
One dear old friend who lived almost
continually in the past used to take
great delight in living over again scenes
of pleasant nature in which she had
once mingled, travelling often in imagi-
nation to distant cities, performing
journeys again taken fully half CEN
fury before, often diverting those of
younger generations with spirited remi-
niscences of occurrences and customs in
teresting from their old-time flavor and
strangeness when compared with Gus
toms OF the present day. But once in
awhile the recollections of dark expe-
riences. days of trial and deep affiiction,
days when she was subjected to treat
ment unjust and unmerited, would
come over her spirit like depressing
cloud. 1t was always easy to tell when
"Auntic" was encompassed and de-
pressed by these forbidding memories.
But her trusting Christian spirit would
not long remain under this spell. First,
someone would hear her say: "There
I'm not going to think of those things
any longer. It's no use; they're past,
and | will not allow myself to
dwell on them Then, kindling
with a resolution worthy of imitation
on the part of many a younger and
stronger disciple, the dear old voice
would rise in quavery measures, and for
perhaps an hour we would hear her
singing the songs of her youth-songs
which, not pertaining to the passing
fashions of the world, and being APP
plicable to all times, can never outlive
their day, and in one sense can never
grow old. Sweet old songs of Zion.
How many and many an aged pilgrim
has sung in weak, uncertain tones those
helpful, inspiring songs, which, learned
in youth, have followed them
with their strong assurances Of
never being forsaken, have fore
Swallowed glimpses of fair Canaan,
have heralded eternal life and promised
starry crown, until their blessed
strains have merged in the unbroken
chorus around the throne of God! Sing
on, beloved, aged pilgrims Or, if the
time has come when voice for song has
entirely failed you, repeat the familiar
verse reminding you of the firm foun-
dation laid for the faith of the saints
of the Lord; of the Rock of Ages cleft
for you of the blessed fountain filled
with blood, of which the child OF
God shall some day sing in clearer,
sweeter song, and of the closer walk
with God, which leads up to the pearly
gates of the New Jerusalem. Sing
away all gloomy reminders of the past.
For even the most earthworn pilgrims
can look back and see how through all
life's devious ways the Lord has been,
as He ever will be, the kind shepherd
whose rod and staff yield comfort and
support, until the willing feet enter the
fair house of the Lord, to go no more
out forever
Off the soul grows strong as years unfold
The ripening harvest meath the sunsets gold,
Gathering, through gain or loss,
The triumphs ofthe cross,
Jubant will then be chimes
Which long years echo back to fearless chimes.

TWO GOOD WOMEN.
The Charitable and Benevolent Wori
They Arc Doing In Europe.

The Charitable and Benevolent Work
They Are Doing In Europe.
Not far from the renowned St La.
care, near Paris, woman's prison,
lives Nine. Dumas, who, continuing the
work of Elizabeth Fry, has spent most
of her life among women prisoners, has
won them back from the downward
path to better life and even then con-
tinucd to act as their guardian angel.
AS a witness of how well she persevered
in her task is the fact that in her eighty
second year she learned Spanish to en-
able her to make herself understood
among Andalusian prisoners.
In different but equally bad part of
Paris is woman who is like flint
stone in whose heart ruby is set. No
body knows her in Paris. Yet perhaps
from no place in the world are so many
silent blessings sent forth as from this
good Samartan's walls. No sorrowful
and heavy.laden person is refused en-
trance to her home Even the girl who
is seemingly lost is not shut out from
help. The peculiar thing in the minis
try of Nine Appla is that she collected
no money for her work in the well-to-do
circles. Julius Post, in Chautauquan.

IN W0MAN'S BEHALF.
a WOMAN'S WORK.

Only the work of to-day;
What OF its triumphs and sorrowst
Does it the past overweight,
Give IL u zeal for tomorrow?
Where have broken the thread:
What have left still unmendcd,
Truer word never was said,
"Woman's work never is ended"
Only the work OF to-day:
Soothing the heart that is broken,
Speeding loves message tn say,
Leaving the evil unspoken.
And when the curtains are drawn
Over the innocent sleeping,
Some one must linger till dawn,
Watch for the prodigal keeping.
Only the work of to-day;
No one hath guessed half its meaning;
None knows the sower, hut pray
Many.be blessed at u e cleaning.
No one hath stayed for her fears,
None hath Il helping hand Tended
Only the sowcr hath tears
Over her lonely toll Bonded.
Only the work of to-day:
Labor but finite and human;
Only the task Of decay,
Only the work of u woman.
Tell me what hand will portray
Upon what infinite pages
Only the work of to-day

AT the Helm.

A little boy sat in front of his father
and held the reins that controlled res
tive horse. Unknown to the boy, the
reins passed around him and were also
in his fathers hands. He saw an occa-
sion to pull them. With artless sim
plicity the child looked around, saying;
Father, thought l was driving; but
am not, am -" Thus it is often with
men who think they are shaping des-
tiny which higher hand than theirs
is really directing. They do their own
will because it is also the will of God
A stronger hand guides them; a
mightier power holds the helm of their
vessel. and saves from rock and wreck.
Happy are they who yield to the guild,
ance of the Almighty hand.-Golder

1t is not everybody who has yet grown
up the idea that the female orator is an
essential part of the social fabric, and
yet we have her suddenly with us and
taking the prizes away from the sex
that has hitherto enjoyed a practical
monopoly of the oratorical arts and
graces. 1t is not worth while to ques-
ton the propricty of woman's appear
ancc on the platform. AS matter of
fact she appeared there some time ago,
but as speaker, hardly as an orator, in
the proper sense. 1t has been several
years now since the sight of woman
as public speaker created even a rip
pie of emotion. She has been presiding
over and addressing temperance meet
ings and club gatherings; she has lee
tured to public assemblies; she has
made political stump speeches; she has
even preached sermons-all withou,

adjust themselves to the situation ART

MISGUIDED AMBITION.
The Noble Heritage Sold for a Mess q
Pottage.

The Noble Heritage Sold for a Mess of
Pottage.
Twenty years ago young farmer,
whom we shall call John Potter, sold
the land which his father had left to
him, and with his wife moved into the
city of New York
In farm, he told his friends his mon
ey brought him only four per cent. He
could make double that in trade in
Town.
At first he ventured cautiously into
business; he rented cheap house, and
he and his wife lived as simply as they
had done in the country; but as the chill
dren began to grow up, he was anxious
that they should dress fashionably, go
to schools where they would meet the
children of rich men-in word, push
their way into what he considered
good society,"
In business, he said, he was making
only six per cent. Eut by specializing
in stocks he could easily turn his money
over twenty times a year. He became
a speculator. and was fairly successful.
The Potters bought snowy house, and
began the frantic struggle for place in
the fashionable world. Every dollar
which was made was spent to attain
this end TO obtain an invitation to the
C--'s ball. to visit with the B-'s-these
were the objects of life with father,
mother and daughters.
But John Potter, when he began this
work of earning fortune and position,
forgot that he had invested in the bust
ness not only his money, but his mental
and physical strength. In a few years his
health began to fail. Nopercentage could
pay for that failure. He had been in
youth strong, hardy fellow, with high
courage and a sweet temper. At forty
years he was gray, bent, bilious and
irritable. Then came attacks of nervous
prostration; then partial paralysis.
IF | could 81 back to farm life, and
give my brain rest, l should recover"
he said.
But what could his delicate city-bred
daughters do on farm? How could he,
used now to luxuries. bear the rough,
simple country life?

RELIGIOUS MATTERS.
A PERFECT REST.
psalm xxxviii. J

Oh, rest thee in the Lord,
Wait patiently for Him;
Though heart seems like to break,
And star of hope grows dim,
TIL words of wondrous sweetness
Float DER the clouds that roll,
"Oh, rest thee in the Lord,
The anchor OF thy soul.
Oh, rest thee in the Lord
When weary of life's care;
Oh, rest thee in the Lord
When loads are hard to bear.
That refuge fails US never,
And cen though tears may start,
Think not that He forgets
The longings of thy heart.
Thy dearest hearts desire
Shall in due season cheer;
Gold must be tried by fire
Before it's pure and clear;
Then when in loving wisdom
Our Father seeth best,
Unnumbered blessings come
To those that in Him rest.
