A sORROwFUL REMINDER.

A young married lady one morning
gave her husband sealed letter, which
he was to read when he got to the of.
fice, says Tit-Bits. He did so, and the
letter ran rs follows:
81 am obliged to tell you something
that may give you pain, but there is nc
help for it. You shall know everything
whatever be the consequence. For the
last week ! have felt that it must
come to this, but have waited unit
the last extremity, and can remain silent
no longer. Do not overwhelm me with
bitter reproach, for you will have tc
put up with your share of the trouble,
as well as myself"
Cold perspiration stood in thick drops
on the brow of the husband, who was
prepared for the worst.
Trembling he read on:
"Our coal is all gone. Please order a
ton to be sent this afternoon. l thought
you might forget it for the tenth time,
and, therefore, wrote you this letter u
But he didn't forget that time!

WHICH SHALL BE FlRST7

Soyou wouldname for the honored place
On the Dead Mems Gallery shelves
The many who make in the hot, madrace
The uttermost out of themselves?
- Well, once on a day my lamp has
hared
And dimly let me see:
And dip my flag to the few who've cared
To make the most out of Me.
Shouldn't hold one now long gone
Far, far beyond the rest,
Because of the ways in her brief sweet
days
She held me to my best?
Shouldn't love the Self forgot,
When my lamp flares up to see?
Care most for the heart who makes its
part
To make the most out of me?
think it is naught that a man has
wrought
To power and fame and pelf.
How can his reward pass this, o Lord:
That he made the most of himself?
So may the great prize, wherever it lies,
Be theirs who won to see
That SOULS fire-test is TO bring the best
Out of some one else, like Me.

JUDGE NOT.

Judge not the workings Of his brain
And of his heart thou canst not see
What looks to thy dim eyes stain
In Gods pure light may only be
A scar, brought from some well-won
field
Where thou wouldst only faint and
yield.
The look, the air, that frets thy sight.
May be a token that below
The soul has closed in deadly fight
With some Internal fiery foe,
Whose glance would scorch thy smiling
grace,
And cast thee shuddering on thy face.
The fall thou darest to despise-
Maybe the angels slackening hand
Has suffered it, that he may rise
And take a firmer, surer stand;
Or, trusting less to earthly things,
May henceforth learn to use his Wings.
And judge none lost; but wait and see,
With hopeful pity. not disdain:
The depth of the abyss may be
The measure of the height of pain
And love and glory that may raise
This soul to God in after days.
