The Shadows We Cast.

In this great world of sunshine
and shadows we are constantly cast
ing shadows on those around US, and
receiving shadows from them in re-
turn. There is no pathway of life
which is not sometimes in the shade
and there is no one who walks over
these paths, it matters not which
way they tend, who does not, now
and then, cast his shadow with the
rest. How often do We, by mere
thoughtless word or careless act, cast
a shadow on some heart which is
longing for sunshine: How often
does the husband, by a cold greet
ing, cast a gloom over the happy,
trusting face of his wife, who, it may
be, has waited anxiously for the
sound of his footsteps to give him a
joyous welcome to his home. How
often has the parent, by harsh re-
proof, chilled the OVERLOOKING spring
of confidence and love which is bub-
bling up from the heart of the inno-
cent prattler at his knee: How often
are the bright rays of hope torn from
the clinging grasp of the souls OF
those worn out by poverty and the
never ending conflict of life by the
sting of ridicule or the sordid advice Of
those whom the world honors-aye,
love to honor: How often does the
child-even after it has grown to the
full bloom of manhood, and is clad
in the garments of strength and
beauty-bring sorrow to the parent
already tottering on the brink OF
eternity: Then beware, lest you cast
deeper shadow over those already
darkening in happiness! The shad-
ows we cast, can We escape them:
Can we look back, as we walk on ii
life's journey, and see no shadowy
marks about our footprintss

Like lamb that had wander, but

With her weary heart droken, the
Prodical Daughter
Slowly dragged her way home
through the snow and the cold ;
But she found neither pity nor loving
forgiveness,
Neither music, nor welcome, to
greet her once more,
But, instead, she was spurned with
the bitterest curses,
AS in shame, and despairing, she
knelt at the door;
For her tears they would give not
the merest compassion,
Not a word of afection-tneir
hearts were ike stone
And they turned her away, as iflep-

In the snOw-beating tempest tho
she was their own.

For the world has beheld it again
