THE GOOD MANS STEPS.

Everyone Who Lives to Please God Has
 Right to Claim His Protection.
 There is nothing more plainly re- yealed than that our heavenly Father orders "the steps of a good man." If this fact were communicated to us in the original way-that is, by miraeu- lous voices, as in the olden time-the information could nst come with more directness 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 of 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 q mere sentiment to live. It is 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 habftualIy, sincerely, unhesitatingly, and with godly trust into the hands of him who has warranted us in believ. ing that all things have worked, do now work. and will work in the com ing days, for our good.-The Chris tian.
 "He that doeth righteousness fs righteous, even as he (Christ) is right eous." 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 it Is not so; it is very doubtful kind of humility that is maintained at the ex- pense of not only contradicting God. but thereby refusing his free gift to us, purchased by the precious blood Sel.

UNANSWERED PRAYERS.

Like some schoolmaster. kind in being
 stern, Who hears the children crying Der
 their slates And calling. "Help me, master" yst
 helps not, Since in his silence and refusal lies Their self-deYe1opment, so God abides, Unbeeding 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
 granted! Not h famed Pandora's 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, rgTLst chaos vvOuId vect41ff
 Tn my fierce youth I sighed out breath enough to move &
 fleet, Yoieing wild prayers to heaven for fam
 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 heart! That which thou pleadest for may
 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.
 Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

The HemI0ck I.nnd

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 steady and greedy absorption.
 So there are hemlocks in many aomes. They never contribute to com- forts or joys of home, all are serving them, and how they despoil home of its light and rest and joy!
 Have we hemlocks planted in our churches? Let us see to it that you and l are not such.-Rev. Chas. Roads.

 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 Him. siest burlesques in town?
 Why the editor who writes so learn etly on political reform goes as dele gate in the interest Of the machine?

LITTLE NEW FROM COLENSO.
The earliest reports Of the battle of Colenso
from special correspondents are mutilated by
the censorship and leave untold what the pub
lie is most anxious TO hear. "The Daily Mails"
correspondent describes the excellent practice Of
the British batteries after dawn, and the heavy
fire which the infantry drew from the enemy
concealed and sheltered by broken ridges, and
naTvely adds that General Buffers army retired
after eight hours fighting. the 14th Field Bat
terry being partly demolished and left behind
on the field. Some of these early accounts read
as though the censors had revised them with
the help of a howitzer battery.
Military men say that Colonel Long. VINO
threw away the batteries at Colenso by neglect
ing to send forward scouts did the same thing
at the Adershot manpuvres in 1898. and was
reprmanded for IT either by General Butler or
the Duke OF Connaught. II that be true, Butler
ought to have been on his guard against his
reckless tactics. A fresh break in the cable has
interrupted the current war news in the last
twenty four hours.
