I Have Wandered Far From TheoJ
Mollior.
I have wandered far from thee, motherFar
fri>m our happy home;
I have left the laml thai save me birth,
In other climes to roam ;
4nrl time since tnen h;is rolled in years
And marked them on my brow;
Yet still I think of thee? *
I'm thinking of thee now.
1 ain thi?kin?of the days, mother,
W'licn, with such ournVst pride.
You watched tin1 dawning of my youth
And ciaspcd ine to your side.
And memory tiring-; thy parting words.
When tears fell on thy cheek?
Rut the Inst tinxinus look
I ota more than words can speak.
1 am far away from tlioe, mother,
Xo friend is near me now
To soothe with a gentle word,
Nor cool my burning brow.
The dearest l ies affection wove
Are now all torn from inc;
They left me when my sorrow came?
They did not love like thee.
I know thy tender heart, mother,
Htill bents the same for me.
As when I left thee, lone ago,
To cross the dark blue sea.
But still 1 love theejust the same:
I long to hear thee speak,
And feel again thy balmy breath
Upon my care-worn check.
... . , u j
Hnf, all! mere is a iiiouem, iuihiut,
Pervades this beating hreRst.
That thy freed spirit mny have flown
To its eternal rest;
And as I wipe the tear away,
There whispers in my ear
A voice that speaks of Heaven and thee,
And bids me seek thee there.
Nearness to God.
Some one has said : "Never separate
yourself from God. How sweet it is
to live always near those who love us."
But it is sweeter still to live near those
whom we love, and the reason why
men do not delight more in nearness
to God is not because God does not
love them, but because of their lack of
love for him. Let the Christian meditate
on the wonderful love of Christ,
and the sacrifices made by him to save
and bless lost, ruined sinners, until
the fire burns in his heart and he can
say in sincerity and truth, "The love
of Christ co/istraineth us." Then
will we find it indeed sweet to feel
that we are near to God. Then can
we sing,
"Nearer, my God, to thee: Nearer to thee,
K'en though it be a cross that niisetli me."
Then, if perchance some sin committed
by us has caused him to hide his
face, like the Psalmist, we will soon lie
found, crying out, "My soul thirsteth
for God, for the living God. When
shall I come and appear before God."
This of itself may be a real comfort
to us, that a dangerous storm and great
distress may happen to the best of
men ; sucli things are no proof that
we are deserted of God, or that he is
displeased with us, Christ being in the
ship did not prevent the storm. And
this applies to many of our troubles
and perplexities, especially such as occur
to the Church, which is iudted
that sacred vessel which contains
Christ and his people, and Is almost
always, as it were, in jeopardy, and
covered with the waves. And Christ
within her is often, as it were, asleep,
trying our faith and waiting for our
prayers.?Isaac Williams.
A Happy Childhood.
Yet this poverty was not pauperism ;
there was nothing in it either miserable
or abject; it was sweet, simple,
contented, happy, even joyous. Mary
like others of her rank, would spin,
and cook food, and go to buv fruit, and
evening by evening visit the fountain,
still called after her 'the Virgin's fountain,'
with her pitcher of earthenware
carried on her shoulder or her head.
Jesus would play and learn and help
His parents in their daily tasks, and
visit the synagogues on the Sabbath
<?nvH "Tt is written." savs Luther.
"tlmt there was once a pious godly
bishop, who had often earnestly prayed
that God would manifest to him
what Jesus had done In His youth.
Once the bishop bad a dream to this
effect. He seemed in bis sleep t? see
a carpenter working at bis trade, and
beside bim a little boy who was gathering
up chips. Then came in n
maiden clothed in green, who called
them both to come to the meal, and
set porridge before them. All tbis the
bishop seemed to see in bis dream,
if If.1 1! .1 I
^ lumpen sutnuin^ ununu uicuuui uim
lie might not be perceived. Then the
little boy began and said, "Why does
that man stand there ? Shall he not
nlso eat with us? And this so frightened
the bishop that he awoke."
"Let this be what it may," adds Luther,
"a true history or a fable," I
none the less believe that Christ in
His childhood and youth looked and
acted like other children, yet without
sin, 111 rasnion iiKea man."
Martial and Martyr Glory.
John Hem men way lias culled attention
to tiie ditto re nee between these.
The wars of tlie Jews, as recounted in
the Old Testament, honor the former.
The story of John the liaptist, Jesus
Christ and the Disciples honor the latter.
We remember no praise bestowed
on armies, forts, ships-of-war, duels
or any taking of human life in the
New .Testament. A Roman captain
was probably converted, but his charities
and not his bloody deeds are recorded
as praise-worthy.
An Old School.
The Latin school of Boston is nil ancient
school foundation, and is the oldest
institution of the kind in America.
It originated in 1634. Benjamin
Franklin, Sam Adams, John Hancock,
Cotton Mather and other celebrieties
of early days have been pupils
of this school.
"Gather up the fragments that nothing
be lost." This is an important ad
monition, and is or general application.
More depends upon taking care
of little things than most persons suppose.
It is an old saying that if we
take care of the dimes the dollars will
take care of themselves. Little duties
neglected, little opportunities disregarded,
little portions of time wasted,
will do much to hinder a man's prosperity
and progress. Little wastes, if
continued will impoverish a man, as
little leaks, if not stopped, will sink
the largest ship. Do not overlook little
things. In the aggregate thej' become
great.
Passing Undek the Rod.?It was
the custom of the Jews to select the
tenth of their sheep after this manner
: The lambs where separated from
the dams and enclosed in a sheep cot
. with only one narrow way to get out;
The dams were ut the entrance. On
opening the gate the lambs hastened
to join the dams, and a man placed at
the entrance, with a rod dipped in
paint, touched every tenth lamb, and
so marked it with Inn rod, saying :
"Let this be holy."
Us....a ?niHi tliA T.mnI 1 iv tlio tirritkli

et, "I will cause you to pass under the
rod." (Ezek. xx., 37.
Some men are fated to do things the
wrong way, and spend their lives in
grumbling at their hard luck. They
always try to split wood against the
grain.
When we are least worthy, most
tempted, hardest, unkindest, let us yet
commend our spirits into His hands.
Whither else dare we send them ?

Ilow llattie Bi-cnnie a Christian.
She wa? only nine years olil. r had i
been preaching to ilie childrm. At
the close of the meeting, Hattie c-anic
to lue anil .said :
"I do want to be a Christian; him j
can I be?" and the anxious look in
her great brown eyes assured me she
was in earnest.
"Hattie, are you a sinnerI asked
her.
"Oh, yes, I am a very wicked girl,'"
she replied.
"What! such a little girl as you a
siniH'r? How can that be?"
The tears eon Id be kept back 110
longer, and she .solved as though hei
little heart were broken.
"T am so wicked," she said.
"ilattie, what did Jesus come into
the world for?"
"To save sinners," came the answer,
between two great sobs.
"Then if you are a sinner, lie came
to save you, did he not?"
"Will He save me?" she asked,
eageriy.
"Yes, Hattie, Jesus is willing and
waiting to save you now. Will you go
home and give yourself to Him to be
saved ?"
"I'll try," she replied.
Why did T ask her to go home to
give herself to Christ?
The next afternoon Hattie was present
at the Children's meeting, but her
sad little face showed that the question
was still unsettled. She came to me,
and I said :
"Well, Hattie, did you give yourself
to Jesus?"
''I tried to do so, but I don't feel any
*? T ?..U,wl Tfiont! mo llillt
UUtltfr. A ilMVCU ticouo vxf mu , ?.
I don't know.whether He did or not."
I said to her:
"I think I know what is the trouble,"
and as her face was turned so
anxiously to mine, seeking the light, I
added : "And gave yourself to Jesus, 1
and then took yourself right back
again."
' Yes, that's just what I did," said
Hattie, as the truth suddenly Hashed
unon her.
"Well, is that the way to do? Is itI
not best to give yourself to him. and ,
just trust him to save you ? Will you
do that, and when?"
"Oh, now?this moment," and dropping
upon her knees she said : "Jesus,
I am a sinner, and I give myself to
you, and I'll never take myself back <
again as long as I live."
That was all she could do, and when
she arose there was a new light in her
heart; and to-day Hattie is one of the
most joyous and earnest and useful i
little Christians in all this wide, wide
Will my readers do as Hattie did?

The following address lias been issued
by the London Peace Society to i

States :
To the Friends of Peace in the United
States.
Dear Friends .-?We have observed,
mini unmo miviptv flip difference that
has arisen between your country and <
our own on the question of tlie Can a
dian Fisheries. Not that we entertain i
one momeut's apprehension that this <
matter will lead to any serious breach 1
of the cordial friendship which, for so
many years, has happily bound the
two nations in the closest ties of mutual
respect and amity. But perhaps
there is some danger, "lest by the use of
inconsiderate and irritating language,
on either side, the spirit of the two 1
nations should become unduly agitated.
We venture, therefore, to invoke i
your aid to join with us in using all '
rlw? influence in vour nower to throw
oil on the troubled waters.
We trust that ordinary diplomatic
negotiations, conducted in a calm and
conciliatory spirit, will suffice to secure
a steady solution of the existing
difficulty. But should that fail, we
can have no doubt that the great hody
of our {.'hrfetian people, on both sides
of the Atlantic, will strenuously support
the reference of the points in dispute
to some form of peaceful Arbitration.
llappily quest ions of far greater
gravity than that which now troubles
for ? moment t lie relations of OlirCOUU
tries have been so disposed of between
our Gov.-rnments by this method of
adjustment, not only to the entire contentment
of these two great branches
of the Anglo-Saxon race, but to the
general triumph of the great cause of
civilization throughout the world.
We recall, with sincere satisfaction,
the emphatic declarations made by the
distinguished men who have lately
occupied the Presidential chair in
your country?President Grant, President
Hayes, ami President Garfield? ,
in favor of submitting all disputes, especially
between Great Britain and
the United States, to peaceful methods
of settlement. We have no reason to
doubt that our own Government would
be equally ready to act upon the same
principle. Let us, therefore, be ready,
dear friends, should the occasion arise,
to bring the whole force of an enlightened
and Christian public opinion to
strengthen the hands of our rulers in
this respect.
By communications to the press, by ,
petitions to the Legislature, by personal
influence brought to bear on political
leaders, and, if necessary, by memorials
to the Government, much may
be done to lead to a speedy and peaceful
unlntiniiu nf t.lifi rinpsfinn ill dis

Now Every Thing Pny9.
"Now every thing pays." said an ,
enthusiastic young Christian in my
hearing not long ago. "I often said
to my husband," she continued,
"when I returned from a round of
stupid calls, it does not pay to dress
and ride over the city from one place
to another, leaving cards here and
there, exchanging flippant nothings
with people for whom I do not care a
tig. That lust party, too, was a senseless
affair, dancing and cards all the
evening. I did not exchange a sensible
sentence with one person. But
now every thing pays. I have a new ,
interest in life. I look on people with
different eyes. I think of others
more, less of myself. I am surprised
at the pleasure I enjoy conversing
with those whose society a short time
ago I would have considered an unmitigated
bore."
A life of sin is a life of selfishness,
and therefore wretchedness. Godliness
is profitable unto all things. Religion
is the best investment.
