? H jn Days are Dark. When days are dark, remember The brightness tbat Is passed; Call up the glad Spring music To mingle with the blast; Think of the merry sunshine And hosts of scented flowers, Let memories of the Summer Take gloom from off sad hours. When days are dark, be cheerful; Because the leaves must fade, Thy hopes need not be cast away, Nor thy heart be dismayed. Thin Is the time Tor laughter And happy household song, Hours that are filled with cheerfulness Are never sad and long. When days are dark, be trustful, The sun shines after rain; And Joy goes not so far away But it returns again. _ Life is not ruled by sorrow. But blessings reign o'er all, And we can slug of mercy, Id spite of pain and thrall. When days are dark, be busy, For there Is much to do, And the ministries are many Which kindly hands pursue! The need of love is always great, For grief Is every where; O lighten thou some burden. And lessen thou some care! When days are dark, be thankful. Light is not always best, I And uselul are the shadows. The alienee and the rest. Qod give* whate'er Is good to come, The day and then the night, And those who find their Joy in Him Live always in the light. [Christian World. 9 > Pauperism. This is a condition of slavish and absolute dependence upon others, and is the result of different conditions of life, such a9 pernicious habits, extravagance in expenditure, lack of ambitiou which makes the individual satisfied if he has enough to eat to-day, though he may have no idea where a meal is to come from to-morrow, want of forecast, lazines?, mental deficiency, personal affliction, &c. Dependent persons not paupers, are such as young children or helpless females of v a family, who have a natural claim for support, and are otherwise unable to provide for themselves. A condition of pauperism, is one of real degradation. It lowers manhood and womanhood and makes those mean and despicable, who otherwise would be independent and noble. In most cases, pauperism is the fault of the party himself, or comes through a fancied inability to support himself, when by proper exertion and care he could be independent. Public pauper8 : These persons usually occupy the poor-houses of the coufftry, or seek a precarious living by street begging, ana are usually as low in morals as they are dependent for support, though there are noble excep tiohsof (he former, if not the latter. It argues a bad condition of morals, as well as a low type of civilization, where vagrancy stalks abroad unblushingly, and penury seeks to make a public spectacle of itself to secure pity and relief. The helpless poor should be housed and cared for at the expense of the public treasury, without the question, "How came they in this condition?" Church paupers : These are comprised in two classes. The first, are the dependent poor members of the church, "who are supported by the church, and often comprise true and noble Christians. The second is a class of persons, voluntarily dependent upon the church of which they are members, for the gospel, together with all the privileges of the church, and who1 feel themselves so poor, that they cannot contribute, butare entire. . ly dependent upon the charities of the church for all which they receive. / These are sometimes well-to-do persons. too mean and stingy to do their duty and who prefer to endure a degradation that is humiliating in the extreme rather than perform their duty. - " ? i All cniirenes are more ur less nuuvtcu with this class of paupers, and it is sometimes the case that a majority of the members are composed of this class of church paupers. The widow of Sarepta was poor, but she was not a pauper. There was a noble independence which elevated her high above this degraded class, and gave her an inexhaustable source whence to draw her treasures in the midst of general want. Neither was the poor widow noticed by Christ in the temple, of this class. She was indeed very poor, but large in the charity she bestowed, casting into the treasury more even than did the rich who gave of their abundance. There was in her true womahhood, which iu the midst of her penury, lifted her far above vagrancy, and gave her the command of hidden wealth not to be counted by dollars and cents. Rich paupers: This is a class of persons who have never earned a dollar in their lives, but who live upon the wealth acquired by parents or other relatives. These persons are as despicable as they are mean. Feeling themselves above labor, they look upon it as a degradation and really possess ability onlv in one direction, and that is to spend what others by industry and economy have acquired, and which they inherit. The families of most men who have made money are apt to fray out into these pauper spendthrifts, who are valuable to society only as their money is expended, and who have friends while it lasts. Henry M. Mood. Manning, S. C. Home is the place where we may talk of what we have done without being charged with self-adulation. There is the place where we may express gratification without being thought silly. There is the place where we lounge without being thought ungraceful. There is the place where we may forget all our annoyances and troubles. Home is a blessed harbor for storm-tossed mariners. "God, who is rich in mercy.'1 Mercy Is God's wealth. Some men are rich In gold, others are rich in knowledge, and others are rich in power. But God is rich in mercy. His mercy is without limit?a shoreless, fathom1am (V>paT1. "Rilt: fnr this nnr rnno would be doomed to everlasting night. While thy judgments, O God, "are a great deep,"' "thy mercy is great above the heavens." On the day of his coronation, George the Third composed a prayer which for brevity and good sense has rarely been equaled. It was afterward found in his desk. It reads thus: "Keep me, O Lord, from silly and unguarded friends, and from secret and designing enemies, and give me those things that are best for me, through Jesus Christ our Lord." Negligence is one of the worst forms of Christian delinquency. Many persons who could not be persuaded to do a ho/1 thintr will to do cnnrt I w vww V4*4,,e ** ? ""o"""* ? ? ones that wait for them, and thus let the evil ones have their way. They are at ease in Ziou. Nothing stirs them to systematic and sustained effort. The path of life we walk to-day Is strange as that the Hebiews trod; We heed the shadowing rock aw they; We need, like them, the guides of God. God send His ange's, cloud and fire, To lead us o'er the desert saudl God give our hearts their long desire, His shadow in a weury land ! If a man is right, he can't be too radical; if wrong, he can't be too conservative. % Our Own Guagre. . I No two Deoi)lc are alike. Twins so [ resemble in form and feature that you cannot tell them apart, and yet in disposition they are as diverse as other people. The infinite variety is very remarkable. You are now and then reminded of a friend by a resemblance, which some one you meet, bears to him ; but let the person under inspection only speak or smile, and the difference becomes more marked than the fancied resemblance. And yet it fe quite common to find people trying to fit themselves to a mould cast for another, and as such an attempt is unnatural, the result is almost always a very poor caricature. Vou cannot run narrow-guage cars on a broadguage railway. It is foolish to try it, since the result must be wreck and ruin. There is only one exemplar we dare try to be like, and our success in this direction never comes from copying from these like-minded with ourselves. We are to have our own conceptions of Christ. He is to us what we discover by study, prayer and faith and what He reveals to us, and "we know as we follow on to know the Lord." We were once stationed at an educational centre, and it afforded us much amusement to notice how the I impressible students copied the mannerism and even speech of their favor ite professor. The coat never fitted, and the enterprising imitator was only laughed at for his pains. We believe, of course, in tne study of human nature. It is a moat enjoyable pursuit. There are valuable lessons learned, and yet the result is always disappointing, since we find no two alike, and cannot construct any theory which will stand a moment's scrutiny. The greatest mystery to man is man. Perhapa we may not arrive at Carlyle's judgment of his own nation, who said, "there are twenty million Englishmen, mostly foola." But surely we will find that the men who try to imitate others are fools. It is the less who try to be like the greater. The outlay of effort should always be to advance according to ourown guage. We may be made after a small pattern, but let us try to be not after a pattern ' or a pattern for anybody else, but the best we can be with our environment and the help of God. We do not believe that there is any exact standard of Christian experience, which we are to fit to ourselves. Our possibilities are enormous, and yet they are always to be after our own guage. Sometimes we hear a testimony in our experience meetings and we envy its possessor; 1 but we do not see the other side, and how the experience was gaineu, perhaps by bitter disappointments, and severe sorrows; and even if willing to suffer similar discipline, the result could not quadrate with the desired i experience, seeing it is not our guage. It is best for us to let the Lord mark out the paths for our feet, and then obediently to follow them, "looking i unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith." He will perfect that "which we have committed to Him against that day." It is better to let ' tiie Author of our being work out our destiny for us, and the result will be a s irprise to us and a joy to the angels. You lose time to even measure the guage of other people. You know your own number, stick to that, and go forward "unto the perfect day." The Results of British Intervention iu Egypt. Mr. W. S. Caine, M. P., who has recently returned from a visit to Egypt, has published in the Pall Mall Gazette his observations in that country. He shown, as follows, what the English taxpayers have effected by their outlay of so many millions on armed interference on the Nile: 1 "When we went to Egypt we were : going to establish the civil, moral and Christian influences bf our country on the banks of the Nile. What we have dpue has been to establish an enormous number of grog-shops and brothels. That is the most conspicuous sign of our civilizing mission in the land of the Pharaoh*. "I am not jesting at all. There are at the present moment some 400 grogshops in Cairo, most of them with English signs, which have sprung up as | the direct consequence of the presence i of English garrisons in the capital of 1 Egypt. A great number of these drinking dens are also houses of illfame, and there is no attempt made to . conceal their character from the passer by. Anything more loathsome and humiliating to a decent-minded Englishman than to go through certain , Quarters in Cairo and read the English inscriptions on these dens can not be imaginod. "The better class of Egyptians are . angry; but what can they do? The Khedive complained to me about it, and expressed the indignation and despair with which he saw the deinor- , alization of his subjects going on under his eyes without his being able to do anything whatever to check the spreading plague. A sheik, he told ' me, had come into his presence only a few days before, foaming at the mouth with rage. Some scoundrel Levan- j tine had opened a gin-shop right opposite the doors of his mosque, and he was powerless to prevent it. The l Khedive was equally powerless. No one has any power under the cursed sv&tem of capitulations, which leave the country helpless before an imported evil, the special detestation of all pious Mahommedans. . The consolations of God, the joys of the Holy Ghost, are these still waters by which the saints are led, streams which flow from the fountain of living waters and make glad the city of our God. ) What we are afraid to do before men, 1 we should be afraid to think before God. He is the best Christian, not who talks most of God, but who walks . most with God. Son of the Carpenter, receive This humble work of mine; Worth to my meanest labor give By joining It to Thine. There cannot be a more worthy improvement on friendship than in a fervent opposition to the sins of those . whom we profess to love. Three warnings from the grave? ' "Thou knowest what I was; thou seest what I am, remember what thou art to be." He who is not accustomed to see the ' best side of his fellow's character . shows the worst side of his own. Nothing is more characteristic of a man thau the manner in which he behaves towards fools. Tlifl relni-H nf a corvnnt. i? fiflelilv which cannot be without diligence as well as truth. He that is little in his own eyes will not be troubled to be little in the eyes of others. It is a mercy to have that taken from 1 us which takes us from God.
