MAY WE INouIRE WHY.

The humorist who makes jokes out of the trials of the suburban resident lives out of town?
 The individual who pokes fun at the Harlem goat keeps one of those useful but homely animals?
 Why the gossiper on things about town is never seen at any of the haunts he writes about?
 Why the polished writer on dramatic art goes by way of choice to the fim- siest burlesques in town?
 Why the editor who writes so learn edly on political reform goes as a dele gate in the interest of the machine?
 The man who writes comic ditties about the woes of a man with moth- er-in-law lives with his wife's mother?
 Why the philosopher who tells the world how to be happy though married never entered the matrimonial state?

sr- UNANSWERED PRAYERS.

 Like some schoolmaster, kind in being stern, Who hears the children crying OCT their slates And calling. Help me, master" yea helps not, Since in his silence and refusal lies Their self-development, so God abides, Unheeding many prayers. He is not deaf To any cry sent up from earnest hearts; He hears and strengthens when He must deny. He sees us weeping over life's hard sums; But should He dry our tears, and give the key, What would it profit us when school were done And not one lesson mastered?
 What a world Were this if all our prayers were grantedl Not Tn famed Pandoras box were such vast ills As lie in human hearts. Should our desires, Voiced one by one, in prayer, ascend to God. And come back as events, shaped to our wish, What chaos would result!
 
 In my fierce youth I sighed out breath enough to moveta. fleet, voicIng wild prayers to heaven for fan- cied boons Which were denied; and that denial bends My knees to prayers of gratitude each day Of my maturer life Yet from those prayers I rose alway regirded for the strife And conscious of new strength Pray on, sad heartl That which thou pleadest for pSaE not be given. But in the lofty altitude where souls Who supplieate Gods grace are lifted, there Thou shalt find help to bear thy future lot, Which is not elsewhere found

The HemI..cI. Innd.

Hemlock destroys the soil by taking nourishment for a long series of years and returning nothing. There is no rich foliage to fall after Summer and to restore more to the soil than the tree took, but only a steady and greedy absorption.
 So there are hemlocks in many homes. They never contribute to com- forts or joys of home, all are serving them, and how they despoil home of it's light and rest and joy!
 Have we hemlocks planted in our churches? Let us see to it that you and are not such-Rev. Chas. Roads.

THE GOOD MANS STEPS.
Everyone Who Lives to Please God Hae
 Right to Claim His Protection.

Everyone Who Lives to Please God Hae
 a Right to Claim His Protection.
 There is nothing more plainly re- vealed than that our heavenly Father orders "the steps of a good man." If this fact were comnunicated to us in the original way-that is, by miracu- lous voices, as in the olden time-the information could not come with more direetness and power than we now have it from day to day. Surely every one who lives wholly to please God has a right to claim his protection, his direction, and his help, not every hour only. but every moment of his life. He may not-indeed, cannot-be always thinking ef this great favor. Life has it's imperative and absorbing duties. His energies are often taxed to their utmost in the struggle. It is more than mere sentiment to live. It is a serious reality, in which the hand, the head, and the heart are en- listed. The only way, therefore, for the Christian is to commit himself habitually, sincerely, unhesitatingly, ana With gCdly trust into the hands or him who has warranted Us in believ- ing that all things have worked, dc now work, and will work in the com- ing days, for our good.-The Chris tian.
 "He that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as lie (Christ) is right sous." Here is the doing, and the char acter back of the doing. The one is righteous, therefore the other is, also. Not only so, but it is the same kind of righteousness, or rightness. We don't see what is gained by contradict ing God in this matter, and saying 1t is not SO; it is Q very doubtful kind of humility that is maintained at the ez- pense. of not only contradicting God, butNthereby refusing his free gift to us, purchased by the precious blood Sel.

A Funny Sight.

An English paper says that the hat of a certain short sighted master at Eton blew off one day, and as he start ed in pursuit black hen dashed out of the gateway. The schoolmaster saw the hen, and thought it was his hat. and all Eton was electrified by the spectacle of hatless and breathless reverend man hunting black hen from one end of the street to the other.
