Maturity and sYmnetrY.

When a soul is born anew, it is a
babe of Christ" and as such is an OBJ
ject of interest, gratitude and expecta-
ton. The hope is that it will not al
ways be a babe. Birth itself is great
event only if it is the antecedent of
something greater. The family does not
exist simply that children may be born,
but chiefly that they may be trained
into mature and symmetrical men and
women, that the race may be advanced
in strength and well being. The church
does not exist simply that men may be
born again, but chiefly that they may
be developed into full grown men, "
attaining the stature of the fullness of
Christ commonwealth, Baptist.

Blazing With Jewels.

When the sultan of Johore wears his
crown and his state clothes. the diamonds
on him alone are estimated to be worth
e2, Soc 600. His collar, his epaulets, his
girdle and cuffs, the handle and blade of
his sword, are all studded with precious
gems. His bracelets are of massive gold,
and his fingers are covered with rings that
are almost priceless.
But perhaps the most costly insignia Of
princely dignity are those of another trib-
utary prince of British India, the maha-
rajah of Rscoda, This gentleman chief
ornament is not a crown, but necklace
of five strands containing 500 diamonds
some of which are as large as hazel nuts,
while the upper and lower rows consist of
emeralds Of the same size. Pearson S

RHUBARB ALL THE YEAR.

Many persons who have a spot OF rhu-
barb in their gardens make no use OF it
only for sauce or pies in the spring time
and early summer. Then its stout leaves
and juicy stalks are allowed to grow as
they may until autumn, and then perish.
This, | think, is mistake. II has been
our practice for years past to cut up all
the rhuharb stalks about the last OF Au-
gust or first OF September; peal and cut
into small pieces, throwing out all that
may be woody, and preserve in sugar
just as you do berries and small fruit {;
putting it up in self-seaIing glass jars after
cooking it until il is thick and red. Put up
in that way it will keep any length of time,
and is just delicious and does not have the
tang so common with preserved ber-
ries. We reckon it among our best pre-
serves and we always put up quite va
rety.
II anyone has doubts about the good
qualities Of rhubarb preserve, please give
ii a fair trial and be convinced.

A Sure Refuge.

Oh, weary heart with care oppressed,
With doubts and fear and toll depressed,
Hark, is a voice that call to thee,
Come unto me! Come unto me,
And ! will give you rest
Cast all the burdens that ye bear
Here on my arms and rest ye there,
For will give you sweet release
And bless thee with my perfect peace,
such as you ne'er possessed.
Dear Refuge, yes, TO Thee we fly,
And satan IS every shaft defy,
And, though the storms of life may rage,
Thy care shall all our fear assuage.
Thou bidst the surges cease.
There, free from all the chains which bind,
a What hope ecstatic fills the Inindl
What freedom from the thrall of sin
For those who rise and let Thee in,
And life knows no deceased

PIES AID POETRY.

The editor of this department would
have been gratified If ne could have lis
tened to the conversation | heard last
week in company OF ladies in regard to
the column. 1t was pleasure to meet
several of the "old time" pupils, some of
whom had not seen each other for many
years; we spoke Of "B. J. A." and would
have been glad of her presence, for | rec
ognized her as a former faithful pupil and
valued friend Her letter recalled many
pleasant memories, and wondered il this
was one of the poems she remembered:
"Ovcr and over again.

| must take my turn at the mill,
must grind cut the golden gain,
/ must work at my task with a resoute will,

NATIVE. \ short poem committed to
memory will sing itself "oyer and over
again" in our minds, and weave itself in
and out of our threads of thought like a
line of silver light.
1t is well, now and then, to have bit OF
poetry on hand that can be applied prac
tically. Longfellow wrote so many songs
of labor that he could not object to the

There is nothing more eXasperating than
refractory cream, and to meet that case
recommend as a churning song the fol-
lowing:
The star of the unconquered will.
1t rises in my breast
Serene, and resolute, and still,
And calm, and scif-posscssed.

will result in contribution. The sisters
who would like to add anything to this

THE WAY TO LOOK AT IT.
The Higher the Position the Greater the
Responsibility.

In passing sentence the other day
upon Lord William Neville, the forger,
Judge Lawrence, Of the Central Grim
inal Court, London, England, made the
following very sensible remarks:
"In my opinion the crime is as great
az if he had distracted the sum from
Lieut.. Clay's pocket or had burglarized
Mr.. Lewis office and stolen. If it had
been some wrctched clerk with wife
and seven children, who had incurred
heavy loss and had helped himself at
his masters till, am afraid there would
have been no one TO speak i'll eXtenua
ton; but the higher position the person
holds, the higher his responsibilities
am sorry to say haye looked in vain
for eXtenuating circumstances. 1t is as
bad case of fraud as is possible to con-
cciye. 1t has brought shame and dis
honor upon an ancient and noble family
and sorrow and suffering upon your
nearest and dearest. Your crime is
great and your sentence must be severe.
1t is that you be kept in penal seryl-
tude for FIVE years"
