l know not the time; know not the
mode; but the days of our life are be-
ing Gubtracted away and we shall come
down to the time when we have but
ten days left, then nine days, then
eight days, then seven days, six days,
days, one day. Then hours; three
hours, two hours, one hour. Then only
minutes left; five minutes, four min
utes, three minutes, two minutes, one
minute. Then only seconds left; four
seconds, three seconds, two seconds,
one second. Gone! The chapter of life
ended! The book closed! The pulses
at rest! The feet through with the
Journey! The hands closed from all
work. No word on the lips. No breath
in the nostrils. Hair combed back to
lie undsheveled by any human hands.
The muscles still. The nerves still. The
lungs still. The tongue still. All still.
You might put the stethoscope to the
breast and hear no sound. You might
put a speaking-trumpet to the ear, but
you could not wake the deafness. No
motion; no throb; no life. Still! still!
So death comes to the disciple! What
If the sun Of life is about to set? Jesus
is the day-spring from on high; the per-
petual morning of every ransomed
spirit. What IL the darkness comes?
Jesus is the light of the world and of
heaven. What though this earthly
house does crumble! Jesus has pre-
pared house of many mansions.
Jesus is the anchor that always holds.
Jesus is the light that is never eclipsed.
Jesus Is the fountain that is never en-
hausted. Jesus Is the evening star,
hung up amid the gloom of the gath
ering night!
You are almost through with the
abuse and backbiting Of enemies. They
will call you no more by evil names.
Your good deeds will no longer be mis-
interpreted nor your honor filched. The
troubles Of earth will end in the felci-
ties! Toward evening! The bereave-
ments Of earth will soon be lifted. You
will not mach longer stand pouring
your grief in the tomb, like Rachel
weeping for her children or David
mourning for Abgalom. Broken hearts
bound up. Wounds healed. Tears
wiped away. Sorrows terminated. No
more sounding of the dead march! To-
ward evening. Death will come, sweet
as slumber to the eyelids of the babe,
as full rations to a starving soldier,
as evening hour to the exhausted work.

glow, every cloud fire-psalm, every

pulses will beat it; your joys will ring
it; your lips will whisper it: Toward

A Christians Mission.

In this world of evil, where so many
unholy influences breathe about us, it
is the Christians mission to be pure;
to keep themselves ''unspotted from the
world" Do you ask, how is this pos
sible? Christ can keep you. If God can
make little plant SO that no dust can
stain it's whiteness, can He not by His
grace so transform your heart that no
sin shall stain its purity? Be We there
fore perfect, even as your Father which
is in Heaven is perfect. ..f .

Some eastern fanatic has devised q

sold a number Of them in eastern
cities. In New York, Boston and other
neighboring suburbs wheels have been
punctured frequently by this device,
which is apparently manufactured
wholesale. 1t consists of a thin strip
of rubber studded with sharp tacks,
which is laid on the street near the
curb where the wheeling track usually
is and nailed down at each end Used
thus at night it can accomplish the
puncture of quantities of wheels before
any Of the victims would discover it
and destroy it.

The neighborhood of New York Is
much excited over the wanton desecra-
ton Of church in Williamsburg into
which some miscreants broke and de-
stroyed everything of sacred nature
they could find. Nothing was stolen,
and the only object of this piece of
vspdalism seems to have been mere
ebite against holy things. The crosses
~epe pulled out of place; Bibles and
prayer books torn up and scattered
over the floor, and the organ so pulled
to pieces as to be destroyed. Every eff
fort is being made to discover the per-
petrators of this outrage, and it will
go hard with them If they be caught.

The Art OF life.

Science has already done vast
amount of detached work for the i'm
provement of life. But she is now be-
ginning to go to work constructively
on the life of man as whole. She Is
beginning to recognize that all the
sciences exist for the supreme sci
ence, the science Of life. Out of this
supreme science is to come some day
the supreme art, the art of life.-Rev.
w. r. Taylor, Presbyterian, Rochester.

Evolution.

The time must come when all scien-

something beyond this present life of

life beyond for which we are being
prepared The doctrine of immortality
is now popularity aocepted.-Rev. Henry

The Gear AS y Social AutOcrat.

The Wiener Tagblatt, an influential
Austrian journal, has found an extra
ordinary reason for praising the de-
meanor of the car. He actually al
lowed Nine. Faure and Nine. Brisson,
who are not even hoffahg, to dine at
the same table with himself and the
czarina. Such a concession to repub-
lican principles would, the journalist
continues, be absolutely impossible in
Vienna, where, though low-born
man might be admitted to the empe-
rors table. his wife never could be.
The fact was correct and was once the
occasion of curious scene at the Hof-
burg when the emperor had to exert
his personal authority to obtain part
ners for his premier's daughter; but
our contemporary surely mistakes the
feeling of the car. In his mind, as in
that of every true autocrat, there is
no rank except that derived from his
favor. His notice, in fact, as Nicho-
Las /. once openly said, of itself con-
fers rank. The well-born in Russia
have social advantages, as everywhere
else. but Peter the Greats ablest min
lister was cook or butler and the ira
dition has never been forgotten. In

open as in the United States.-London
