The eound ?f foot clamoring up the

children to a stand. Wa* it a frk't:d or

animals ahr>ai in this free-dug place
where all t ss strrrpe, or thore nameless
L rrors of right which children dread.

'Oh, air, he !? so heavy.

The l*>y began to whine rgnln. ' So

" And we are hungry too, sir,' added the
little gi n a pitifully patient voice.
" Well, en, we will Hud a l>ed a? onre.

Little pi"k a-bRck gave tokens of a

'No; n??t till you are In bed. We will
f n I) -e \rr.r;n J'bce. C'otc?, little
woman, hold my jacket. Tha* v. HI help

The children labored on with the cheery

showed a rent ia the rock;, w*ll best. e
j the'r path. IVi.h a, at the farther end,
, he found a small dry pla-e, with a pi'e of
withered moss heaped against tn B de.
' The lad thanked God for ir, r>n 1 framed
1 and smoothed it into a pallet, on which
j he earefully la d the three little < nes.
' Will tou not lie down, too,: ir?' asked
i the courteoue, courageous littlcgiil
* I want my supper,' wa'o.i the boy,
and the tinniest be^ftn to raise a lejble
cry.
The lad took from h's pocket some hard
biscuit soaked with sea-water? nau.ews
I eaoagb, but thechi dren wore too hungry
to be nice. There wm not much, and lie
divided it all among tlmm.
Will you not 1 are tome of It, sir?*
'I! oh no, my dear 1 1 had my supper
long ago.'
So the biscuit wac ft'l eaten, and the lit
tie fellow stopped crying.
| ' how you must say your prayer^,' said
-j the r protector.
The poor little lass began dutifully
tumbling on* of her moss bod.
' You can liefr.iH* dear ; 1 will prny,?*d
! you sha]l */ Amen.'
WiirGod listen when we are lying
down T
' Yes, to-night lie will.'
Then, kneeling beside the brave child,
he uttered a jeverent petition: * VYe
thnnk Thee, dear Lord, for having saved
\ as from great danger, and pray Thee to
make our lives worthy of being saved.
: This was the simple burden of hie prayer,
| ending with the omnipotent' Our Father.'
Then he sat down to wait until the
| children should fall asleep. He won d
1 then, he thought, all away to find tbrdY
! parents and the other survivors, should
j there be a >y, and perhaps to g^t vile rest
, and refreshment he so sorely needed,
i Hut the unconscious childish selfishness
was not yet satisfy.
'So cold,' wailetWhe boy, and a piteous
little cry. 'Baby cold,' joined in chorus
It was in vain to pile the inoss around
| them.
' I want my blanket," was the clear d?/
maud. At last, the kind lad, stripping ofl
i his jacket, spread it overt item and tucked
h in, aid then they were -a:Lfied. bliiv.
j ering as with ague, he crept down bee d<
| his trusty little friend,: s lie somehow fell
11 the br?r-' girl to be, try ng to g?t warm
It would not be ong, he thought, ln-fort
the children would fall asleep, and 'hen
he would warm himself with exercise
and ^ nd help at last. Once, when all was
still, he ventured to move ; but this tinx
it was his patient little friend who pleadet
in a very wakeful voce: * l'lease, sir
don't go awav. 1 cannot get to sleep, ant.
1 am so frightened.' So he stayed.
It was 1 ke a dream to him, that weid
dark hole in th < hill aide, looking forth or
a patch of c'-oud swept sky. It seemev
that he must suddenly wake and find him
pelf in his own berth in the goo 1 shir
s?on to sail fairly into harbor. A"st witl.a
there wa^ a clear consciouane^ of tin
children's sto.tdy breathing, of the 'act
that cold an! hung 'r, and weHkuca-. liao
murderous reptiles, were sucking an ay
, his very life. Then came & v.Bion of h:3
passage in that ship.
A scene ou deck : a fragile wom^n with
a gent.e, holy face, and he. her son supporting
her. Before them, a very glorl
ou^sun>et, with that strangely, gwe?tly,
elear and mellow light banding the horizon
which m>ik?s um fancy that heaven
< opene there. The two are talking with
| the vivid sound of dreams.
'It grows cold, mother; you must go
below.'
' Stay a moment, love. I shall soon bo
where suns never eot. I feel so peaceful
to-night; I know that all is well. When
you meet your father, tell him to wuit
patiently till God ehsll call him to join
me In that happy plare. Arid you, my
boy, will keep the same hope in your
heart; will you not? But piay tLnt hei
fore you die, He will grant you to V-nve
lived so that some poor souls may bless
you.'
The vision changed;?a shotted ham.
mock drooped into the pea, and a b y
llnng prone u|s)Q the dtck, crying,
'Mother, mother, how can I live all
alone T
He did not shed ono tear now. Thcro
was rather a smile on hia face a? ho murmured,
'Thank God f-lie went before this
ni^ht." He prayed again the prayer she
had enjo'ned upon him, and addol this,
that his father might be comforted.
One of the children iiwo!te. and began
to cry, 'Jlntl.or!' He roused himself
again, though numbing frost s'-eraed soakin^f
into all liis frame. He soothed tlie
! child, and even tried to lull it off with a
little story, but the words ran one into
another, anl that effort came to nought.
So passed the wenry night. At length,
when <t*wn hud taken the horror from
their sleeping-pla'.T, he told the children
to lie still, for he would go to tlnd their
; parents, and so b ft them with a ki^3.
He Wandered on as in'a dream, seen^ng
to ?>ee tlixougu a mint, with a dim sense
oi Richness and feebleness.
When or how lie hardly knew, he descried
two haggard figures hastening towards
him through the snow. They harried
faster on soeiog him, and oame up w.th
ea^ar, woeful faca. ' Cur children?oar
three little children?you have seen them ?
We think that they wore saved.' lie told
th;>m where to go, though, as he spoke,
his voice Bonn-led* thin and small in h i
own ears, as .1 it ?*me from af<r. Tbankj
iu_r l?;m with deep grat tu le, they hurriel
by. Ha was alone again. As he
walked, his breach came robbing, like that
of one plunged into icy water. Short,
voiceless prayers aro-'e in his mind. ' O
1 t.rvtt (I fin I ' was a l he could bHV. and
ho kepi rej>oa;ing tka: like the burden of
a k 4)g.
At la*t, the a'r seemed to grow warm,
a id thoro was a swirling in hia
Lraiu like the eldy of musical waters.
' Why am 1 walking on, when here is a
port white bed for me! ?o he said to himself,
and laughed, perhaps aloud. 'I am
a<> sl?*epy, I will lie down. There! oh, how
good it is to rest. Mother, come and bid
good nigh . Mother! liow beautiful you
look ! And there Is father, too; 1 thought
he was far away. Iks wears the same
strange, happy look, that I see on your
face, mother; the look which I always
fancied on angels' faces, 1'ut your arm
round me'. Ah : thut ie nice aad warm.
Why are you lifting me up so high?so

Jeremy Taylor.
Probably no English divine, even in
those days when so many were cast oat of
their stalls or their parsonages, led a moro
checkered life than Jeremy Taylor. Cambridge,
London, Oxford, Uppingham, the
royal array, the retreat in Wales, the lectureship
and the Bishopric in Ireland, all
pass before as In a life not prolonged much
beyond middle age. No doubt tke>e many
changes, with their attendant miseries, and
the fueling of being constantly under suspicion,
must have been very grevious to
the M>ul of one who loved study and evidently
enjoyed the refinements of courtly
S'K-iety. In fact a tone of querulousness
does appear here and there in his letters;
yst on the whole we believe that Taylor,
in the midrt of his distresses and wanderings,
was a Happy man ; he had the disposition
which Instinctively withdraws itself
from the contact of the pe'ty roughnesses
o' life and peixes *ucli enjoyments as are
attainable. He would walk in the sunsk'ne
whi> sunshine was to be found, and not
? mi i rrv _
voluntarily seek tbe bleak mil s.ae. me
works of so very imnghat ve a writer
give but an imperfect reflectiou of tlie
character of the man : when a mafi can so
readily throw himself into the mood which
beseems the occasion, we hardly know
what mood is natural to liira; (iarr'ck'a
Jlnvdet gives no indication of Garrick's
o-vn personality. Nevertheless, with all
Taylor's cliangcs of style end even of
thought, the undercurrent of sweetness,
gentleness, and tolerance is so constant
that we can hardly doubt that these did
indeed form an essential part of his char ?cter
And to this swee'ness we have a better
testimony titan that of bis works?his
poiyer of attracting friends. If the richness
of h e conversation at all corresponded
to that of his writings, he must have
been a most charming companion; and
lie had that instinctive sympathy which
adapts itself without effort to the disposition
of the person a idressed. Probably
his episcopate waa the least happy portion
of his Pfe; but such a man, w th such
friends, was not likely to be altogether
j 111 serable,
It is even pathetic to see how, in the
m dst of the distractions of his changeful
life, he continues with indomitable perseverance
his study and his writing. Bes des
Greek and La in, he understood French
and Italian ; and not only was he extremely
well read in patristic and scholastic theology,
but he wan constantly in communi
cation with Mr. Hoysten, the bookseller,
and contrived to keep liftiself acquaiu'ed
w ;li the current literature of the day,

It Is almost better for a sick j erson to

the poor invalid the feeling of living in

often only an agg avatbn. for the fresh
worry that tl?e poor nurse is sure to throw
herself into, ie a check upon the expression
of une&aine-a or additional ilii.cs\
which is often a relief. Ileal affection,
j united with common sense. will prodr.co
the steady, calm demeanor which iH such
a rest and comfort to those who have to
struggle with the nervousness and irritability
incidental toBevera illnesa. Want
of presence of mind in a sick room is p;oductive
of worse evils than mere di?tr? ph

A Cure i-or irrtmxara*.
Pnc. JohriPfln gives a prescription toenre
every drunkard, which amount! to this:
1. Eat comfortable meals at regulaf
hours, partaking es]>ecially of farinaceous
food, vegetables and fruits throe times a
day. *
2. Exercise regularly, but so as not to
Induce fatigue.
8. Have regular and long sleep, going
to bed and rising at regular boars, and
I take a sleep about noon, If convenient.
4. Keep the mind rs much interested
and amused as possible, by harmless
games, sports, etc.
5. Take a warm bath daily, aboat 11
A. M., if convenient.
6. Break up old association*.
7. Keep away from old resorts.
8. Quit chewing and smoking tobacco,
for this blunts the moral sense, and makes
the imagination dull. Liquor makes t
Ideal faculty wild and un?eit'eJ, while
. tobacco makes it obtuse.
9. Never forget that if yoa are to be a
new man you must hare new idea*, and
these must be such ns to make you discard
the nee of alcohol in all it* forms.
Do not take it as a inedi-ine any more
than as a beverage, for it w 11 re-awnken
the old desire in the one case as readi.y as
ift the other.

Fathors, a Thought for-Yon.
" What wiil you take to drink," asked a
waiter of a young lad, who for the t.r-t
time accompanied his father to a public
dinner. Uncertain what to Ray?fe 1 ng
sure he could not be wrong if he followed
his father's example, he replied, "I'll take
what father takes."
The answer readied the father's ear. and
instantly the full responsibility of his t>osition
flashed upon him. And the father
6huddered at the history of several young
men, once as promising as his own bright
lad, and ruined by drink, started up in
solemn warning before him.
Rapidly these thoughts went through
his mind. "If the boy falls, he will not
have me to blame;" and then in to: eg
tremulous with emotion, and to the astonishment
of those who knew him he said;
"Waiter, I'll take water;" and from thnfc
day to this strong drink has been balloted
from that man's house.
