The best things of life have been Civ
en- freely, not FROM a sense of duty Yop
can never measure out friendship. Won
can never tell how much a man oueht
to do for his country; you can never
tell what he should do for God. There
is always that overflow, that abund-
ence, which is chiefly valuable for usl
and il valuable to God, as 1t comes az
the free-will offering OF our hearts. You
say of a certain person that he is lust
implying that you don't quite like him
You say of another person that he ia
generous, meaning that you do like
him. 1t is because of that which he
does beyond what he is Obliged TO do
II there is any life where this an
plies with the utmost force, it is to the
religious life. Your piety must take
the cup overflow. If you do exactly
your duty, and nothing else, your life
is no comfort to you, and little help to
any one else You want something OF
Joyousness and freedom in II. and then
1t tells.-Alexander Mckenzie

A Curious Superstition.

Among the superstitions of the Seneca
indians was one most beautiful one; When
a Young maiden died they imprisoned a
young bird until it first began TO try the
powers of song; and then, loading it with
caresses and messages, they lOOsed its
bonds over her grave. in the belief that il
would not fold its wing nor close its eye
until it had flown to the spirit-land and de-
livered its precious burden Of affection to
the loved and lost One.-F'rom October St.
Nicholas.
