RELIGIOUS READING.

rho heart where peace abidcs IS llls
the ocean
Whose depths the surface storms can
never move,
Gut stlll abides In deep. unrufllcd quiet
For all the m-Heckod waves that
roll above.
The heart where peace abides is like
heaven
The limpid dome where clouds in
sullen might
May come and go; but through each
rift appearing
The blue shines forth the same, Sc
rene and bright.
Oh! send our hearts this blessed
peace, great Father!
That thus endowed and cheered
through Thy dear love
This life becomes to us. Thy faulty
children.
\ foretaste of the better life above.

Servants in the Isle OF Man who re-
fuse to complete the period OF service
for which they are engaged are liable
to curious punishment. In case
before the magistrate at Peel recently
William Corlett. farm laborer. was
charged with refusing to carry out his
engagement. IL was stated that the
penalty provided by statute of 1865
is that the servant is TO be kept In
prison and allowed one cake and
cup of water per day until he returns

punishment, as the magistrate was sat

and younger lady were In a bright

chat the table was not so much be-

the fire and played the game on one
corner of the table. They had started
in to play euchre, but after an hour
and a half they found that they were
playing hearts. Moral-We are not

Lesson from Noah. Carpeptera.

Helping along good work is not
always a specially commendable thing.
There must be a moral quality In il.
choice or purpose. of well doing. A
man deserves no credit for helping n
neighbor on his way when he really
intends to do that neighbor harm.
Nor does man deserve spiritual az
proval because he does work on n new
church. for which he receives fall day
wages. DR.. Todd used to say that
Noah's carpenters were no better than
their neighbors, while they worked
daily on the place of safety and scot
fed at Noah's prophecy and prepara-
tions, until the flood came and swept
them away with those who had not
been employed as they were. We
ought to take warning by the lesson OF
Noah's carpnters.
