crock OF Ages"

Writing Of the hymn, Rock OF
Ages" the Delinestor says: When the
hymn was written is not known, but
we may be sure that it is nothing less
than the voice Of the Almighty that
inspired the author 10 write words OF
such soul-stirring power. The hymn
first appeared in an unfinished form,
in the Gospel Magazine OF October
ITS, and more fully the succeeding
year in the March number Of the same
periodical. This grand Christian
song has had an enormous influence
for good on humanity, and has been
a fsyorite with many great persons.
When Prince Albert, the husband Of
Queen Victoria, lay dying in Wind
sor Castle, almost his last words were.
II have had wealth, power and fame,
but il these were all that l had had
what would / have now?" And then
he was heard repeating softly and
reverently,
Rock Of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Gladstone translated it into Italian,
Greek and Latin, but not all trans
lstions have been as happy as his.
A missionary in India writes that
he employed Hindoo scholar 10 as
slst him in trsnslsting Rock Of Ages
into the vernacular. His surprise
may be imagined when he read, az
the result Of the effort Of the learned
Oriental, the first two lines:
"Very old stone. split for my bene-
6t. Let me absent myself under one
Of your frsgmsnts.

watched only the heroic struggles OF
Norton.
Maybe there was tear in her eye
and maybe there wasn't. Anyway,
the former varsity sculler toppled over
in faint, and while they we're pour
ing water over him, young Norton
struggled in winner by two stacks.
There were tears in Mabels eyes as
she paid the winners and told them
they had saved her father and her,
too. With Mr.. Huston as Judge she
bestowed the kisses and hugs, the col
lege man miraculously reviving to get
his share before the cheering hands.
If be got an extra kiss Mabel did not
care, nor did he. Nor was Norton
angry, for he wrung the college man 8

the Eastern mans eye.

almost as thick as 1t Is long. The
barrier OF stones IN front of one nest
examined by a writer on the subject

When TO Cry.

There are millions of little boys
and girls in the world who want to
do Just the right thing and the very
best thing. But they do not always
know what just the right thing is,
and sometimes they cannot tell the
very best thing from the very worst
thing.
Now 1 have often thought that
there are little boys and girls who
cry, now and then, at the wrong
time, and have asked many of the
older people, but none of them could
tell me the best time to cry.
But the other day 1 met a man
older and wiser than any Of the rest
He was very old and very wise, and
he told me:
1T is bad luck to cry on Monday
"To cry on Tuesday makes your
eyes red.
Crying on Wednesday is bad for
children's heads and for the heads Of
older people.
at is said if child begins to cry
on Thursday, he or she will find ii
hard to stop.
at is not best for children to cry
on Friday. 1t makes them unhappy.
Never cry on Saturday. 1t is toe
busy day.
"Tears shed on Sunday are salt
and bitter.
Children should on no account
cry at night. The nights are for
sleep.
"They may cry whenever else they
please, but not at any Of these times
unless it is for something very serious.
l wrote down the rules Just as the
old man gave them to me. Of course
they will be ofno use to girls and
boys who are past six, for those chill
dren do not cry. The wise old man
meant them for the little ones-the
millions of little boys and girls who
want to do just the right thing and
the very best thing.

A Lifetime.

vety hands, rose-petal lips and dream
kissed eyes. Loves evangel, dsin-
ty, slumbering little queen whose ev-
cry wish is anticipated and about
whose throne the brightest and best
of the realm are gathered. Sleeping
or waking, her rule is absolute, and
love and loyalty are the watch-words
of her subjects.
Only baby loved and csressed.
ONLY little maid with wind.toss-
ed curls, sun-browned cheeks, eyes
that sparkle with delight or darken
with the nv steries of childhood. A
little fedgeling of the home, whose
cheering songs and winsome ways
tighten the care, about whose future
are woven such glorifed dreams as
rob labor Of WEAKNESS and transform
sacrifice into privileges.
Only little maid with wondering
eyes wide open to the dawn.
Only bride, whte-robed and beau
tiful, going away from the love that
is tried and true, to gladden. another
home; to begin the new, untried life,
the life of fond hopes and glorifed
dreams. A hush, a few irrevocable
words and the future whose richest
tints will be mingled in the crucible
of love but begun.
Only a bride, love-crowned and
trusting.
Only wife, honored and beloved.
An unorowned queen in her native
domain. The gold Of whose charac-
ter shines brightest when the clouds
of adversely hang lowest. The COM
forter whose hand with equal tender
ness has smoothed from the brow Of
manhood its lines of care and dries
from the cheeks of childhood its tears.
Only a wife, womanly sovereign
in the realm Of home.
Only a mother, fading and old.
The once luxuriant hair is fast
whitening and thin. The fullness
and bloom Of youth have given place
to the wrinkles and pallor of age.
The hands that once so deftly did
service for others lack their accus-
toned skill. The feet that sped
quickly on errands of love move
with the hesitance'of years. But the
eyes, the beautiful windows Of the
soul, beam with the love light and
like the kings daughter, she is al
glorious within.
Only a darling old mother with
folded hands and face turned to sun
set skies waiting the sound ofthe even
ing bell.
