burne and others, the baby was dead
on the bed and the mother admitted that
il had taken an overdose of laudanum.
DR.. Meade Mann was summoned and he
called Coroner Taylor. When the Coroner
arrived Mrs. Ellis told him the child had
gotten ~ in the night and drunk the
laudamum. This the Doctor declined to
believe. and then Mrs. Ellis told an
amended statement. No credence was
still placed in her story and then she
broke down and amid much weeping con-
fessed that she had killed her child and
attempted TO kill herself There was
however. no evidence that she had drunk
any Of the laudanum and her arrest was
caused.

A PRAYER OF SELF.

One knelt within a world of care
And sin, and lifted up his prayer:
II ask thee, Lord, for health, and
power
To meet the duties Of each hour;
For peace from care, for daily food,
For life prolonged and filled with good 1;
/ praise thee for thy gifts received,
For sins forgiven, for pains relieved,
For near and dear ones spared and
blessed,
For ~pro=vered toll and promised rest.
This prayer / make in his great name
Who for my souls salvation came"
But as he prayed, Iol at his side
Stood the thorn crowned Christ, and
sighed:
''Ol blind disciple, came l then
To bless the selfshness Of menF
Thou asketh health, amidst the cry
OF human strain an agony;
Thou ssketh peace, while all around
Trouble bows thousands to the ground !;
Thou asketh life for thine and thee,
While others die; thou thenkest me
For gifts, for pardon, for success,
For thine own narrow happiness.
NAY; rather bow thy head and pray
That whilst thy brother starves TO
day
Thou mayst not eat thy bread at ease;
Pray that no health or wealth or peace
May Iull thy soul while the world lies
Suffering, and claims thy sacrifice;
Praise not while others weep that thou
HasGnever groaned with anguish brow;
Praise not, thy sins have pardon
found,
While others sink, in darkness
drowned;
Canst thou give thanks, while others
nigh,
Ouscast and lost, curse God and diet
mot in my mama thy prayer was
made,
Not for my sake thy praises paid.
My gift is sacrifice; my blood
Was shed for human brotherhood,
And till thy brothers woe is thine
Thy heart beat knows no thrOb Of mine.
Come, leave thy selfish hopes, and see
Thy birthright Of humanity
Shun sorrow not; De brave to bear
The worlds dRrK weight Of sin and
care;
Spend ard be spent, yearn, suH r give,
And in thy brethren learn to 1--we"

THE DEMON OF DISCOURAGE.
MENT.

a hinge IS a very small part of the
door, yet it is a very important part
for on it turns the question whether
the door be opened or shut. So the
little word ''bus" is a very important
hinge in that Bible text which tells US
that "Divid was greatly distressed,
but David encouraged himself in the
Lord his God" o. the Huge of that
word turns a door of hope to Gods
people in the darkest hour Of trouble.
David was not the only nan who has
been distressed his experience has
been a universal one. Our Heavenly
Father has never promised to the best
man or woman that their voyage of
life shall be over smooth s3as without g
'captul" of head Winds. He so orders
it that that the precious things shall be
costly things, and that the noblest
life shall be one Of conflicts, opposi-
tions, trials, and often Of severe dis
cipline.
Observe that there is a mighty diff
ference between being distressed and
being discouraged. TIE king of Israel
had good reason to be distressed for a
band OF marRuding Auelekites had at,
tackled and burned down his town
Z.klag, and had carried IF his wife
Abigail az a captive. He goes right to
God and asks what be shall do, and
the prompt answer is to pursue
them" Whereupon he musters his
gallant six hundred, pushes after the
enemy and roUts them, and RECEIVERS
his wife and all his plundered goods.
Disaster did not discourage him it
drove him to God. Such experiences
in the Psalm g life taught him to ring
out the words of coed cheer, why
art thou cast down, O, my soul2 Hope
thou in Goo! Trust IN the Lord
and be of good courage, and he shall
strengthen thy heart
Just in proportion as any life is a
thoroughly conscientious Christian
life must it encounter enemi.s without
and within. There is no lack Of
"Amelekites" in any track we may
take, and some of them start up in our
own hearts. Conversion does not end
the battle with besetting sins; it rather
intensides the COZ fl &C. Paul might
have had a more quiet time If he had
let the old Adam have his way instead
of that he exclaims, 80 fight l, not as
n that beateEh the air; but l keep
my body under and bring it into sub
lection" Ole Of the best men | ever
knew has a constant fight with q na
turaliy unruly temper, and there is
more than n good woman WHO has
hard work to restrain an unruly tongue.
There is enough animal lust in the con.
%stitution OF some Christians to keep
them watching as travellers in Africa
watch for tigers in the jIngles. Pride
is the bess.tlng sin OF Brother A, and
love Of popularity is the snare OF
Brother B. and apin3hiug c~ovetousuess
