The Ground of Safety.

What we call =" backsliding" is really
the drift of the heart away from Christ.
The heart is not anchored 1t is not
strength of brain that saves a man, or
orthodoxy of creed, or connection with
a church. All these have often proved
to be but ropes of sand. They are not
proof against the tides of temptation
There must be firm heaven-implanted
principle; for no one is safe in bust.
ness, or in politics, or in social life, or
anywhere when conscience is unloose d
from God. The parting of the cable
may be unseen for a while-it may
even be unsupported; but it is a mere
question of time how soon the back
slider may strike the rocks. Jesus
Christ never insures any one who
unites with his church aud yet has
no anchor sure and steadfast which
entereth into that within the vail :"
and "binds fast to Christ himself"
And If you ever reach heaven, my
brother, you will come in, as | often

Make Talent.

To the young Christian man or
woman who laments talent, we say {:
" Go to work and make talent" Do
not think that this is Improbable ad-
vice. 1t is very practicable indeed
Christ has given us suggestions on this
very matter which bear out our state
ment. In his parable of the talents
he speaks of one person to whom was
given two talents, and of another
to whom five were given. Did the
talents of each remain the same I?
By no means. The one who had the
two talents made two more; and the
man who first had five, made five more.
But was there not one NAH whom
only one talent was given? Yes, and
he treated it contemptuously. He was
ashamed of it. But there was nothing,
except his wicked pride, to hinder
him from making two talents; that is,
he could have readily doubled his
capacity for accomplishing good had he
properly used his original endowment.
We must rid ourselves of the despicable
notion that God is going to add to our
ability while we sit still and complain
of our inability TO do anything. He
gives us a start, and then tells us to
make best use of it.-Ezchdnge.

The Sin of Fretting.

There is one sin which seems to me
is everywhere and by everybody under
estimated, and quite too much over
looked in valuations of character. 1t is
the sin of fretting. 1t is as common as
air, as speech; so common that unless
it rises above its usual monotone we do
not even observe it. Watch any ordi-
nary coming together of people, and
see how many minutes it will be before
somebody frets-that is, makes more or
less complaining statement of some
thing or other, which most probably
every one in the room, or in the car, or
the street corner, as it may be, knew
before, and which probably nobody can
help. Why say anything about il? 1t
is cold, it is hot, it is wet, it is dry
somebody has broken an appointment,
ill-cooked a meal; stupidity or bad faith
somewhere has resulted in discomfort.
There are plenty of things to fret about.
1t is simply astonishing how much
annoyance and discomfort may be
found in the course of every days liv-
ing, even at the simplest, if one only
keeps sharp eye out on that side of
things. Even holy writ saws we are
prone to trouble as sparks to fly upward.
But even to the sparks flying upward,
in the blacklist of smoke, there is blue
sky above, and the less time they waste
on the road the sooner they will reach
it. Fretting is all time wasted on the
road.-Helen Hunt.

RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY.
His Praise and Glory.


The fool hath said in his heart. There is no God
Palms xiv;l
Outlines wonder, when stand alone
On some great emnence and gaze around
On this fair earth-its myriad sparkling rills,
Green sleeping valleys, and high mountains
crowned
with everlasting snow, where Silence fills
Space with her awful voice; where Time has sown
The seeds of years, since first the sunlight shone
On new made Eden, on that glorious morn
SO long ago. marvel much that men
Can see the wonders of the teeming world
Can note the beauty of the vaulted sky,
And then make Jest and scott and laugh in scorn
And say, " There is no Cod" The white mists
currd
Above the oceans foam capped pillows when
The storm is raging, and the sea is tossed
TO seething hills, and all its waves are crossed,
| Seems lifting up its hands in mute reply.
The notified kline that browse along the plain;
The summer winds from haunts of wild.bird blown
The ragged mountains massive stone on stone;
The emerald grasses, and the fields of grain;
The blackbirds morning prayer in joyous strain;
The leaplng waves upon the sounding main;
The stately river in its silent aow,-
All sing his praise and glory, and they owe
Allegiance to him, and to him alone
The lghtnings cleaving through the nky cloud
Proclaim his power; the thunders loud
Aud hoarse, they ever seem to speak
OF mercy, for the bolts that fall
Strike not the tree whose humble head is bowed
In worship to the Master OF them all
He ever guards the lowly and the meek
o men, my brothersl ye who stand aback
As If afraid to own your Saviors cause.
Whee some defaming wordling mocks his laws
And for the sake of gain goes here and there
Reviing him, as they reviled of old,
Who Knocked him bleeding dying on the cross
Stand fearless up, and by your works declare
| Your gratitude for gain that by his loss
He brought to you. Then, when the years have
rolled
| The mists away, and down the shining track
You see the city with the streets of gold,
You will be recompensed, yea paid tenfoldl

Her LOVER SHOT TIE cow.
When, Tbinking 1t Was Burglar. She Got
Her Fathers Gun.

The prctty village OF Hollis, N. Y, was
recently excited over the mystery surround
ing the shooting OF a fine Jersey COW owned
bv Farmer Fredericks, peaceful tiller Of
Hollis productive soil.
The farmer was aroused late that night
by terrific explosion at the rear OF the
house. He ran down stairs, and selling
double barreled shotgun which was stand
ing IN the kitchen made hurried search
about the premises. No evil effects Of the
explosion were then apparent, so he went
back to bed. The next morning he found
the COW riddled with shot In the barnyArd.
When the shooting OF the COW lscame
known In the village, everything else was
forgotten, even politics. Everybody won
dered who the guilty person was-that is,
everybody except one young mamie knew.
Farmer Fredericks would probably never
have learned who shot the COW had IL not
been for the kicking qualities OF his double
barreled shotgun
While his pretty daughter Phoebe was
standing ut the gate talking with Coles
Hendrickson Friday evening Farmer Fred
ericks, unknown TO tho young people,
passed near them. A8 he did so he over
heard Coles tell Phoebe that his arm had
been lame from the kicking OF the gun ever
since ho shot the COW.
Farmer Frederioks did not want to be
deemed as an eavesdropper, but he could
not restrain himself. He made his presence
known to the young couple, aud In the same
breath demanded an explanation from Hem
drlckson.
The young man, finding he was caught
made full confession. IIe told Farmer
Fredericks that he had escorted Phoebe
home from church on Sunday night. rs

house awhile they heard a strange noise in
