Ia the winged cradle of sleep I lay My darling gently down ; Kissed and closed are his- eyes of gray7 Under bis curls' bright crown. Where, oh where will he fly and Soat, ta the winged cradle of sleep? Whom will he meet in the worlds remote, While he slumbers soft and deep? Warm and sweet as a white blush-rose, His small band Hes in mine, But I cannot follow him where he goes, And be gives no word nor sign. Seep him safe, ye heavenly powers, In the dream-land vast and dim I Let no ?II, through the night's long hours, Come nigh to trouble him. Give him back, when the dawn shall break, With'bis matchless baby charms, With/bis Tore and his beauty all awake-, Into my happy arms t St. Nicholas. . The Life Worth Living. BY LEROY J. HALSEY, D. D. He who has learned how to make life a perpetual ministry of lo?e to those 'around him has learned the great secret of bofck usefulness and happiness. It is in this school and in this service that the question is answered, 'Is life worth living V When life become* a blessing to all j within its sphere of r-oftoence, and ?rives it3 possessor the consciousness of God's approval and the approbatioa of all good men, then, asured?y, it is worth living, j It is the aim of the gospel to make j every life thus blessed of God aad man. it is io this sebool of Jesus Christ and in this work of doing good to men that life becomes a ministry of love and human character rises to its noblest type. Io this service it is the privilege of every disciple of Jesus Christ, even the humblest, to make his life beautiful in its sentiments of good-will, its sacri? fices of Iovt> and toil. Is any exemption from this law ?f beneficence'^ fe there one too low h & exercise tb? ?s&iise virtue of ex ^teH??g ft or a SVDiPathis- ( ing word to tho^ 910 are r!ad? to i perish ? The Wido.* f. .two ?*? fr.e , sublime in their exhi^ltl0?0fkbe sPm of Christ, and the cup ofc^ld jrater given in the Master's name may *? Moquent as a delineation of Christian c ~*?c e'j Maxe life a ministry of love, and . w t always., be worth living. I The law of Christ requires that we should be faithful in that which is least ; j that we should use the one talent com? mitted to our trust as diligently as wejt would ase the ten. The commands to ' every disciple are, 'Freely ye have re- ^ ceived, freely give:' 'Occupy till I ^ come ;' 'Go work in my vineyard to- fc day, and I will give the thy wages ' The great law of the kingdom reaches down to every member of it ; it is, 'Do good unto all men as ye have op? portunity. ' Here is the extent of the ^ law--'unto all men?-and here is the t only limit to its application : *as ye ^ have opportunity. Nothing could be wider, and nothing - nothing could be more equitable. If j there is a soul in the world that has no ! j opportunity, not even to give two mites, 11 or the cup of cold water or the word of j . good cheer, or the prayer of faith, that | sonl is exempt from the binding force of ! . the law. But even that soul ought to j J( be ready for the good deed when the j opportunity comes. If there is a soul in the Church so unlike the good Samari- ? tan that he has no neighbor, either Jew or Gentile, among the 'all men* of this command, that soul may stand before Christ at the day of judgment and say, *I had no suffering brother-man to whom I could give the two mites or the j, cup of cold water. I pray thee, have . me excused.' ^ It was for a little act of love, a last memorial of affection and smypathy that | our Saviour spoke the word of encomi? um to a faithful disciple when she had . brcken her precious alabaster box to i. aobint his head and his feet : 'She hath t done what she could 'let her alone.' Oh what a blessed ministry of love and mercy every life might be if Christ's j disciples only had the heart to work ac cording to their ability and according y to the measure of their opportunity ? ' And what a witness to the world it j would be if the whole brotherhood of disciples would exemplify in their daily action that single text of James, 'Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this : to visit the father- j ? less and the widows in their affliction, J i and to keep himself unspotted from the 11 world !'-Forward. < Temperance Anecdote. The Rev. Dr. Culyer, of Brooklyn, during his recent visit to England, in the course of a sermon delivered at the Rev. Nev. Newman Kali's church, re? lated the following anecdote : Some time ago I opened a daily jour? nal and read this touching paragraph. You may Sud its counterpart in London ? daily journals any day of any year. I j read how there was brought out one j morning from the prison of one of our police stations in New York a man ? whose very countenance showed that he j was made for a better place and a high- j er calling. He carried an empty j sleeve. Called up to the bar of the ! police magistrate, he was asked his j name. He said : *I am Sergeant Max- j wejl, of the Fifth United States Caval- j ry,' and then drawing out a half-empty ! flask from his pocket and holding it up i be said. 'In Sheridan's raid in the val- j ley of the Winchester, when our com- J mander came down to rally us, I swung ? out that arm, and the shot of the ene- j my carried it off;' and then holding up j the flask he seid, 'The only enemy ? j have ever met who has conquered me is j that.' The police magistrate sentenced him back to his cell, and carrying his ! empty sleeve, and his purse, and his ? empty life, this young man, born for j better things, wei>t off to take his place ! aroona the victims of strong drink 'An infidel young lawyer, going to the West to settle for life, made it bis ? boast that he 'would locate io some j place where there were no churches, j Sundcy Schools or Bibles.' He found j a place which substantially met his I conditions. But before the year was : out he wrote to a former classmate, a j young minister, begging him to come j out and bring plenty of bibles and be- ; gin preaching, and start a Sunday ! School, for he said he had 'become con- ; victed that a place without Christians '> and Sabbaths, and churches and Bibles, j was too much like hell for any living j man to stay in/-Exchange. ! The Tears of Affliction. Thc tears of affliction flow in the pal? ace and io?the cot. They glisten alike on the blooming check of youth and on the ooe wrinkled bj age. They are the sacred offering of a mother's love for a child, and of a child for its mother. They fall for vacant chairs by the hearthstone, and for vacant places in the heart. They flow at sight of death's dark doings, and misfortune's wrecks, ?nd accident's disaster. They bedew the groundvstained with the blood of the slaughtered, or forming the nioond niarked resting place of the dead. The very waves with their bitter requiem, and the wafting of the zephyrs brings their sad bedewment. Dewdrops fall in the night, and so of tears. In the season of darkness, when shadows, and clouds, and doubt, and sorrow have brought their dark night, then they fall. But the rising sun that chases away the darkness turns the dewdrops to jewels, and makes brilliant those 'tears cf the sky.' *So weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning,' and that joy makes the tears jewelled tokens of God's blessed sunlight. Yes, in the darkness God is there, and lo ! all those tears, and sorrows, and trials are not too many for Him to count, not too much for Him to bottle ; nay, won? derful and elaborate as is all their secret : and revealed history, it is not too much for Him to recall. Jesus wept. Well may that verse be the shortest in the ! Bible. It contains enough for a vol- j ume. Mother, is your boy dead ? In your tears remember the gate of Nain. Sister, is your brother dead ? Remem? ber the visit to Bethany and the grave of Lazarus. Friend, is thy friend dead? Remember the rolled-away stone from the new sepulchre of Joseph. God counts, bottles, remembers the tears of sorrow.-Canada Presbyterian. ?- ^mm ? ? tWmmm Tao Law of Lost Property. What ought the finder of a lost arti? ce to do Most people will give a ready answer. He should do his best to discover the owner and restore the tost property him. But this standard rf moral duty being" imperfectly recog aized by the law it w?U he interesting to review the decisions b? the subject. The finder need not tah.e charge of the lost property. There is DO legal ?uty ?m him to do it, but if ?e does take it ?oto his possession be the?.*1 he tomes a depositary, and is bounu1 t0 keep it for the owner and restore" it to bim when known. How long he must keep it. or what effort he should . make to find the owner, have not been laid down. If the finder does not restore the oroperty upon discovering the owner, I ^s he commit theft? This depends on tbeu eT ^e ^Dew? or ^ad reasonable j aea?s o* knowing, who tbe owner was ! t the time of beling. It bas been leid that thc fiD(*er of a Packet-book, caving the owner.*8 ?\me Ie?lbl* writ: en on it, is a thief 1/ ^ conceals and ppropriates the money / but lf the'e 15 lothing to indicate the ow J61'' Le .does lot become a thief in law by J*0 ?-01De The owner may at any time /e(jJaiC? iis property, and if the finder re. u^es 0 give it up, can recover it or tc e alue of it from him. But as against ; ny one but the owner the finder's title 5 good. When is a thing to be considered as Dst ? It has been said in several cases hat money or other property laid down nd forgotten is not lost, in the legal ense of the word. The proprietor of the j hop, cr bank, or thc place where it is aft is the proper person to take charge f it, and those who pick up the iropcrty have no right to keep it. On he other hand, it has been held that rhere a conductor found money in a ailway car, whose owner could not be seer tai oed, be had a good title to the Qoney. Is the finder entitled^ to be paid for lis trouble and expense ? He need not ake charge of it, and it seems that if ie does so he must look only to the gratitude and good feeling of the owner or reward. What if a reward be offered ? There 5 no doubt that any one who, seeing he offert sets to work to find the proper y, will, if he succeed, be entitled to the eward, and may even retain the prop trty till it be paid. But if he already ms the missing article in his possession vhen the reward is offered, or has wtth ?eld the property in the expectation hat a reward would be offered, the rule s the opposite. Why Women Fade. An eminent physician and profound ?cholar once said that the 'beauty of ivo men was i ile the blossom of the morning glory, charming for a day jnly.' We have spent some time in the loyal labor of attempting to prove our friend wrong, but his criticism finds ready endorsemeot in the faces round us. 'A women should reach ber prime between forty and fifty,' says an author of note, but, alas, too many have sunk- ! en cheeks, sallow complexions, and j tired, fretful faces at that age. There are many causes which "lie at j the root of this evil, for evil it is, when the God-given sweetness and freshness leaves a young daughter's face, and hard lines make ber appear older than the grandmother of the house. Oue cause is fretting or over-anxiety. ' Women, as a rule, dwell too* much on j little thiogs ; they magnify trouble, an- : ticipate its coming, and weary them- ,' selves over trifles. Only a short time j since we saw a most estimable lady ren- ? dered miserable ?or days because a car- ! pet fitter had neglected to finish his; work neatly. Another was so anxious about some cake she was making for ? church fair that her nerves were quit J out of tune and her temper ruffled. 1 One good woman the mother of a '. family, said once in th? hearing of the \ writer, that 'she kept awake all night, i much worried because she had sealed a bottle of some fancy pickle? and neg? lected LO put in a eertaiu kind of spice.' Think of it. Ina world of impor? tant work, in a life crowded with grand possibilities, a woman makiug herself miserable over a jar of pickles. if the master of the house is late and the dinner spoiled, thc mistress grieves over the matter with a face expressive of deep grief. What does it matter ? True, a good dinner, -.oil served, is a desirable thing, but <ielay from unavoid? able causes should never cause the wife to meet her husband with a frown. Mr. Yivk is quoted as saying tint the *white worm,' or any other worm, in pots may be destroyed by stickiug three or four common matches down into the soil, also one or two up in the drain-opening. The phosphorus on the match is certiio death to the animal life and a powerful fertilizer to plants. I The Demon in the Sky. ! _ i ! ODO ot' the most interesting sights in I the sky, and one that can be watched j without a telescope, is the variation in j the light in the star Algol, whose Ara j hie name means the demon. It is i sometimes called the winking demon, j This wonderful star is now in a good i position for observation, being nearly j overhead at nightfall. It is the bright ? est of the little cluster called the Head j of the Medusa, which, according to the j old fable, Perseus carries in his band as j be rushes to the rescue of Andromeda, j For a little over two days and a half I Algol shines as a star of the second j magnitude. Then its light begios to j fade, and ia about two hours and a j third it sinks to the fourth magnitude, j glimmering so feebly that a casual ob j server would be unable to distinguish i it from the other faint stars in its j neighborhood. Thus it remains for eighteen minutes, and then it brightens again, and in the same time that it oc? cupied in growing dim, attains its form? er brilliancy. From one minimum to another is two days, twenty hours and ? nearly forty-nine minutes. ? The fact that a star thus brightens j and grows dim at regular intervals is in I itself wonderful, but it appears all the more wonderful when we arc told that Algol is a sun, having an enormous dark body revolving around it at a ! tremendous rate of speed. Some as tronomers think this mysterious body ' will fail into the star, produciog an outburst cf light and heat that would be fatal to any living being that might exist within millions of miles of that distant sun. Such a catastrophe would be visible in the splendor of the star - Chicago Times. There is something radically wrong about our professions when a pious min? ister only gets forty cents for joining a couple, and a wicked lawyer receives forty dollars for untying the same. w//////f/wA H *? jg 141 Jj gg^gBM mm SF eo?RE Disease is an effect, ?ot a cause.

Is a compound of the virtues of sarsaparil? la, stillingia, mandrake, yellow dock, with the iodide of potash and iron, all powerful blood-making, blood-cleansing, anil life-sus? taining elements. It is thc purest, safest, and most effectual alterative medicine known or available to the public. The sci? ences of medicine and chemistry have never produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so potent to cure all diseases resulting from j impure blood. It cures Scrofula and all scrofulous diseases, Erysipelas, j Rose, or St. Anthony's Fire, Pimples and Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches, Boils, Tumors, Tetter, Humors, Salt Rheum, Scald-head, Ring-worm, I Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism, Mercurial Disease, Neuralgia, Female Weak? nesses and Irregularities, Jaundice, Affections of the Liver, Dyspepsia, j Emaciation, and General Debility. i By its searching and cleansing qualities j it purges out the foul corruptions which contaminate the blood and cause derange- , ment and decay. It stimulates and enlivens | the vital functions, promotes energy and j strength, restores and preserves health, and infuses new - life and vigor throughout the ! whole system. No sufferer from any dis- j ease which arises from impurity of the ; blood need despair who will give AVER'S j SARSAPARILLA a fair trial. It is folly to experiment with the numer- | ons low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials, j and without medicinal virtues, offered as blood-purifiers, while disease becomes more I firmly seated. AYER'S SARSAPARILLA is a medicine of such concentrated curative power, that it is by far the best, cheapest, and most reliable blood-purifier known. Physicians know its composition, and pre? scribe it. It has been widely used for forty years, and has won the unqualified confi? dence of millions whom it has benefited. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
