' ~ " | low (timrrcls I wish thut pony were mine," said; a little boy, wild Mood at a window, i , looking down the road. "Whatwould you do with hitn?"| asked his brother. "Hide him ; that's what L'd do." "All day long?" "Yes. from morning till night." "You'd have to let me ride him sometimes," said his brother. "Why would I? You'd have no right to him if he were mine." "Father would make you let me; have him part of the time." "Xo, he wouldn't." "My children," said the mother, ; who had been listening to them, ami, i now aw that they were beginning to ;get angry with each other, all fori ! nothing, let me tell you of a quarrel! between two boys no bigger nor older I i than you are. that I read about the 1 other diiv. Thev were i/oinsr alone the ' I road talking together in a plea.-ani: I way, when one <>t' them said : -F wish j II lm<l all the pasture laml i the; world.' 4,The other said : 'And I. wish T had j all the cattle in the world.' " 'What would you do then asked i his friend. "'Why, I would turn them into' your pasture land.' " No, you wouldn't, was the reply.' i "'Yes, I would.' " 'Hut 1 wouldn't let you.' "'I wouldn't ask you.' " 'You shouldn't <lo it.' " 'T should.' "You shan't.' "T will.' "And with tliat they seized and; pounded each other like two silly,, wicl.ed boys, as they were." The children laughed, hut their j mother said : "You see in what trifles I III hi rrplci 11 ft ii liocrin \Vf?rw Villi HflVi wiser than the*e boys in your half! angr> talk about an imaginary pony?i If I had not been here, who knows but j that you mig t have been as silly and | wicked as they were?" Exen*o Wo." She wax a brown-eyed maiden, justj four years old, with the sweetest voice] and the tenderest heart in the world, i .Sin; was pulling her little rocking i chair across the room the other day, when, somehow, in her prouress she trod upon the tail of dog Prince, and elicited a low growl of reproach from that much-valued member of the family. A look of dismay crossed the baby's fac and she turned hastily. "Excuse me, Prince," she pleaded, as she laid her suowflake of a hand caressingly on the head. Prince thumped his tail heavily as if lo say, "It's all right, dear little mistress. I know it was all an accident." All, why is there not more of it in the world, we wonder-that spirit which hesitates to wound the feelings even of a dog, which has a tender and kindly care for the humblest in (Jod'n creation. In old times people believed ! ; that if a man could tame the birds sol that they would eat from his hand, lie: had given evidence *that he was beloved. of ("loil. And the quaint theory] was not altogether without weight. lie wno cares lor tue utue oirus, aim i supplies their needs, has something in j ' his heart akin to the nature of the j loving Father who hears the cry of t he j young ravens, and whose pitying eye I i?eesthe fall of the tiniest sparrow. If when a certain member of the family tnters the house, the cat slinks away, and the dog cowers as if expect-j ing a blow, we have received impor- j taut evidence against his character,; though not a word has been spoken.j He is destitute of tho*e finer feelings! which link God's great family! ,together. And on the other hand, a! little child whose heart is full of love to all created things, seems to bring the Kingdom of Heaven nearer.! Blessings on these bright-faced! teachers! Cominilriiiiis.

Better Care of the Ilorse.? < >ue way to! get bettor horses ou your farm without j any expense, is to give those you have! now better treatment. You may be feeding them all they will eat, you may be grooming them as often as ii is customary, you may be careful in your handling of them, but still a decided improvement may be made by adding a lit'le to the attention which you are now giving them. Intelligence in the feeding and care of Imr-es is what is needed. To know why one kind of food is given at one time, and another at another, is what should be learned by those who have charge of horses.' To know how much and what kind of j grooming siiouiu m? uumiuiKiuiru mi- j der dillereni circumstances is a desira-j lilt* kind of information fur farmers.! '1 lie kuiic kind of horses will have J ; <|iiite a different apperanee when un-'i der the management of two diflerentl men.

Literature is the let- . ter; Scripture is the letter inspired by the Spirit. What Jesus said in justification of his doctrine of the new birth is equully applicable to the doetrine of inspiration : 4,That which is born of the tlesh is flesh, and thai which is born of the Spirit is spirit." Educate, develop, and refine the natural man to the highest possible point, and yet he is not a Spiritual man till, I through the new birth, the Holy 1 Ghost renews and indwells him. So I of literature; however elevated its 1 tone, however lofty its thought, it is not Scripture. Scripture is literature indwell by the spirit of God. The absence of the Holy Ghost from any<_. writing constitutes the impassible gulf > between it and Scripture. Our Lord, fo in speak inn of his own doctrine, uses the same language to show its sepa- tt( rateness from common teaching: which he employs above to mark the distinction of the new man. He says: "It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the he fiesb profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you areNj, Spirit, and are life" (John (> : OS, Itev. in Ver). Words they were, and in that y respect literature; but words divinely inbreathed, and therefore Scripture. In tine, the one fact which makes the word of God a unique book, standing! J, apart in solitary separatenes from all ! uint;r wnuii^js, js uiui ? muu aiwi j parts ofl" the man of God from common men?the indwelling of the Ho-1 ly Ghost. Therefore we may say truly ; of the J?ihle, not merely that it was! < inspired, but it is inspired; that the^ . Holy Ghost breathes within it, mak-. ! ing it not only authoritive in its doc-j trine bu' life-giving in its substance,; " so that they who receive its promises; by faith have "inen begotten again,! j not of corruptible seeds but incorrupt-1 ? tilde, through ihe word of God, which j 1 livetli and ahideth." (1 l'eter 1 :2.". | ; Hev. Ver.)?From ''The Ministry of Ihewpirit." Remember that horses are made vicious by cruel treatment; that it is mi speed which kill* ; that more horses ' tire lame from had shoeing than from Jj|.( ill other causes ; that more fall from ?-oi weariness than from any other cause ,io and i hat no animal should ever be HUI struck upon the head. m wwwv* 3 Ladies: ^ING UP A NEW ANI Notions ai 11 of the latest Shape spection and a part o srienced Milliner, for Respectfull ] r Perfect Pence. I You will find some precious filings i Isaiah. We have just been medila-j ng upon this gracious assurance :i Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace; hose Luind is stayed on thee, because j1 e trusteth in thee." (isa. xxvi. ?m bis is the ouly text in the Bible; here perfect peace is mentioned. I [any people have much peace and | reat peace ; few have a peace that can \ .rictly be called perfect, never flus-j sred or agitated or ruffled. Such a! eace means perfect prayerfulness and! erfect patience, as well as perfect hulility and perfect contentment. The esires are at rest, satisfied in God. he life is like a placid lake in which le sky is mirrored, Mind stayed on jee. This brings into view tbe fact aat although God is the author of this erfect peace, and keeps or guards as 'ith a garrison our hearts, yet we ave something to do to procure it, 'e must stay our mind on God. What oes this imply ? Several things, imong others, the taking sufficient me for devotion, also constant watchllness and groat concentration of urpose. Religion must be made a! usiness and tbe whole soul thrown! ito its pursuits, otherwise there will | ot be the steadfast mind which Godj in guard from disturbance. Many I hristiails forget how inportant a ' lace the mind has in vigorous spirijal growth. The emotion which has o deep thought behind it is like a re of shavings which soon goes out ad leaves nothing beliind. Piety lat is not rooted deep by much medittion soon withers away. But the lind that is stayed on God, no matter rbat storms may sweep the spiritual,1 ty, is calm, trusting and at peace, nd does not Jpsus intimate as much, hen hesayp, "My peace I give unto ou." This, nc doubt, is the key to ie stability of this peace. It- is not f this world. It is not in the power, f the world to give it, nor to take it I; way. It is fast anchored to the I irone of God, and therefore perfectly! ale to keep all whose minds are stay- 1 1 on God. Beloved, have you this | erfect peace? If so, then are you, uly blessed. It not. is it because] nu do notfully trust God? Thestay-i1 1 mind is the peaceful mind. ' Leave God to order nil ih>' ways And trust.

We are recnciled to God, our fears are quelled, oureumitiesare over, l!ew, aod we have submitted ourselves to ' God. A calm, quiet soul has succeeded to the fears and lashings of a storm. ?
