THE RUDDER.

.of what are you thinking. my little lad, with the
honest eyes of blue,
As YOU watch the vessels that slowly gnde
DER the level ocean floor?
Beautiful graceful silent as dreams, they pass
away from view,
And down the slope of the world they 60, to
seek some far off shore.
Dhey seem to be scattered abroad by chance. to
move at the breeZe'S Will. .
Aimlessly wandering hther and yon, and melt
ing in distance gray;
klt each moves to a purpose firm. and the Wlnds
their sails that fill
Like faithful servants speed them all on their
appointed way.
For each one has rudder my dear nttle lad
with Staunch man at the wheel.
And the rudder is never left to itself, but the
will of the man is there;
There is never a moment, day or night, that the
vessel does not feel
The force of the purpose that shapes her course
and the helmSmanS watchful care.
Some day YOU will launch your ship, my boy, on
life'S wide, treacherOuS seas
BE sure your rudder is wrought OF strengIn W
stand the stress of the gale;
And YOUR hand on the wheel. don't let II nihcil
whatever the tumult be.
For the will of the man. with the help of God

since the first moment we opened our
ewes to natures light and will lie present
until the moment we close them in the
final farewell to life. This feeling can
not be withheld, but will exert itself
under any circumstances; though we
NAV have been wronged in the most
cruel manner, and in a fit of ungovern-
able passion we deprive human being
of life, we turn away with choking
sensation and exclaim, '''too bad, too
bad" All selfish feelings at such
moment, give way to our sympathy
for a fellow being who could fall so
low.
But as diamond must wear away
by constant friction, and as everything
connected with man is falllble, SO
must human sympathy give way to
indifference if exposed to a constant
strain. While friend recOunts his
troubles to us, we are awakened by an
Immediate impulse to assist him, and
do so, feeling satisfaction in doing 1t.
If he comes a second time, we are still
ready to do all in our power; but,
third experience makes us Waver, and
we begin to think it is case OF mis-
placed sympathy. Should he come
again. however, he encounters fiat
refusal.
SO it works with stranger, only 1t
is not so frequently repeated, for the
reason that we are less acquainted with
the circumstances. If we hear OF a
merchant who has become "a bankrupt
we can sympathise with him; but
should it occur second time we i'm
mediately put him down as fraud.
, This. however, is not true In all
cases; were we acquainted with the
, inner circumstances it would be i'm
) possible for us not to sympathise with
: him in his mismanagment, and his IN
capability to run his business success
J. fully. Our sympathey will fancy some
h justification for the criminal who ha
s committed his first offense, but upol
n the second Offense we condemn him
v were we acquainted with his inner life
O we might still be willing to forgiv
e him. Judge not that ye be no
t. judged" was the mandate of that on
It "Man" who could sympathise with tn
n failings of all men; Love His enemies
is and pray for His own murderers.
n Let us cherish this feeling, calle
or sympathy. as priceless flower; an
S. nourish it, that it may not, as do man
le of our good qualities, die young.
