II all who hate would love Us,

fall who hate would love US,
And all cur loves were ture,
The stars that swing above US
Would brighten in the blue;

And every scowl a smile,

Would hardly be worth while.
Ifpurses would not tighten
To meet brothers. need,
The load we bear would tighten
Above the grave OF need.
II those who whine would whistle
And those who languish laugh,
The rose would rout the thistle,
Tie grain outrun the chaff;
ffhearts were only jolly,
Ifgrieying were forgot,
And tears and melancholy
Were things that noss arc not;
Then love would kneel to duty
And all the world would seem
a bridal bower Of beauty,
A dream within dream.
II men would cease to worry
And women cease tosigb
And all be glad to bury
Whatever has to die;
Ifneighbor spake to neighbor,
AS love demands ofall,
The rust would eat the saber,
The spear stay on the wall;
Then every day would glisten,
And every eye would shine,
And God would pause to listen,
And life would be divine.

Son.
John 4: 1884.
GOLDEN TExT-"Jesus said unto
him, thy son liveth; aud himself be-
lieved and bis house." John 4: So.
There was nobleman in Caper-
naum who was in great trouble, for
his son was sick at the point OF
death. He lived only twenty miles
from Cana where Jesus had turned
the water into wine for the wedding
party, and of course everybody was
talking about His great power and
loving kindness, for He had gone to
Capernaum from Cana. He had
Himself testified "s prophet hath
no honor in His own country
Strange that He should not have
honor everywhere, and that it IS SO
to this day, "ior in none other is
there salvation, for neither is there
any other name under Heaven, that
is given among men, wherein we
must be saved.
When Jesus came into Galilee,
the Galileans received Him, for they
had seen all the things that He did
at jerusalem, at the feast Of the
passover, in which they showed that
they remembered the Lords mercy
il bringing our fathers out Of Egypt
by night.
And when this noblemsn of Cali
lee heard that Jesus had come again
to Cana, he FASTENED to Him as the
only hope Of bis sons life, and be-
sought Him to come and heal him.
Jesus knew that his faith was real,
but to try him, He said, Except ye
see signs and wonders, We viii not
believe.n The anxious father had
only one thing to say, "Sir, come
down, ere my child de- There
was no hesitation in his faith, and
our Lord is always waiting to heal
and to save, even as He said
whatsoever ye shall ask in Ny
Name, that will / do, that the Faith
er may be glorified in the Son.
There is nothing too hard for
Him to do, nothing too costly for
Him TO give to His children, and
what joy must have filed the noble
mans heart as he heard the saving
words from the Great Physician,
go thy way, thy son liveth." 1t
was not necessary for the Healer
to come to his house, he knew that
it would be as the Lord had said.
On his way home his servants met
him and said, "Thy son liveth," and
on asking them when he began 10
mend, they said, yesterday at the
seventh hour" so he knew it was at
the very hour that Jesus had spoken
the words OF life. Q
His son was well; how could it be
otherwise than for this whole family
to believe in this Great PhysicianY
"Whithorsoever He entered, into
villages, or cities, or country, they
laid the sick in the streets, and be-
sought Him that they might touch
If it were but the border of His gar.
ment; and as many as touched Him
were made WHOLE"
Our Saviour is Just az near US

consumption. The word consump-
ton means wasting away, and dys-

do eat.

DINNER IN THE rIrrErsrH CENTURY.

OlNshh lN HE klFIEbAHH CENTURY,
In this meal the plenty and mag
nificence of the period are mixed
with its characteristic rudeness and
discomfort. The huge oaken table
filed the central length Of the cas-
tie hall; and at the hour of ten IN
the forenoon it groaned beneath
shapeless masses OF fresh and sailed
beef, followed by a succession of
courses OF fowl and llsh, and eur
iously compounded dishes. The
lord OF the feast assumed his place
on the dias, at the head Of the board
the friends and retainers, or holders
in fee, were ranged above or below
ascending to their respective ranks;
and as the luxury OF a fork was
still unknown in England, the NOR
sells we're conveyed to the mouth
with the singers, while wine, beer
ale, In goblets OF wood or pewter,
were handed around by numerous
attendants.
We may ill Up the scanty outline
By imagining the hands Of the mas
ter and guests standing on perches
over their heads, and their hounds
lying about on the pavement below.
As the dinner generally lasted three
hours, occasional pauses must have
occurred; to all up these, the Minis
treIs harped and piped, the Jester
joked, the tumblers capered, and
the jugglers juggled; or, IL better
taste prescribed, some lay OF the
wars of Palestine, or poetical 70.

AHRODoTAL LITERATURE.
Contributed to the Independent
BY w. G.
FRANKLIN AND ENGLAND.


The repeal of the Stamp Act, By
itself, might have acted as oil upon
the troubled waters; but the declara-
tory act which accompanied it-the
subsequent attempts to raise an
American revenue by duties on glass,
tea and other articles, and the effort
to deprive the colonies of all power
over their curiency-these and other
memorable expressions, led the
sturdy spirits of the colonies to ex-
anime into the Divinity Of Kings.
Franklin took up the subject OF
our Colonial obligations, in the
spirit Of the philosophic historian,
and was amoag the drst to direct
the public mind to those great
truths which prove stronger than
our shackles. His letter written ut
this period, took tone of Druidical
prophecy. Boldly did he portray
the immense resources of his coun--
try, and the indomitable spirit of
his countrymen. In his commune
cation with them, he never failed to
urge the most rigid adherence to
their non-importation resolutions as
the means, under God, of recovering
and establishing the freedom OF our
country entire, and OF handing it
down complete to posterity. At
first he was moderate and concilia.
tory, while moderation and soft an.
swers held out any promise. But
that course failing, he became like
an angel with flaming sword In
hand. He seemed to feel an elastic
joy ander oppression, aud ike
Oliver st. John, would often whis-
per, "That things would have to be
worse, before they could be better.n
Franklin always took a peculiar
pleasure In presenting those good
old Saxon petitions and remons--
frances, which our stiff-necked an
cestors SO obstinately indulged. The
right of petition was one Of the few
things left them, that was "accord.
ing to law and no wonder they
made pet of their last franchise.
In the presentation of these, Frank
lin was their most willing agent; and
in the discharge of his Office, Meth.
er rudeness nor rebuffs could disturb
his complacency. He felt satisfied
that every thing was unavailing,
and perhaps for that reason, main
tanned a good-humored per .inacity.
The subservient ministry and
their insolent menials, began to re-
gard him almost as q Monsieur Tow
son, and rule was finally made to
recognize no Colonial agent, unless
appointed by an act of Assembly
approved by the Governor. When
he called upon Lord Hillsborough
with the Massachusetts grievances,
aud presented the credentials Of his
agency, and was told that he could
not be recognized, ne betrayed not
the least warmth, at this affrontery,
but simply remarked to his Lord
ship, that @He believed 1t was OF 1T
tie consequence, whether the APP.
pointment was acknowledged or not,
for 1t was clear TO his mind, that, as
affairs were now administered, an
agent would be Of no use to any OF
the colonies"

The celluloid films used in the
veriscope and vitascope may be the
source of danger if not carefully
guarded. Celluloid is extremely ex-
plosive and intlammable and a spark
may set it off with most terrific re-
suits. 1t would seem that some other
material should be chosen for all
purposes where intense light and
heat are employed. Even the harm
less looking dressing comb may en-
danger life if, while my lady is
making her toilet she brings it toe
near to the light. In many homes
celluloid articles are strictly prohib-
tied, for this reason. Especially
should this be noted where there are
children who cannot understand the
