SLUMBER SONG.
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

. 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.

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.

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.

"The Queen's Delight" is beginning to
I awaken the attention of our physicians. Its

is more beoeired by it than by any other
medicine. He w ants a dozen bottles."
"Dr. E. Heinitsh :-Your medicine for
Chills and Fever is a sore remedy. I hare
been suffering for several months past, and
one bottle ofyonr Chill and Fever Cure has
entirely cured the disease. I have not bad a
chill since, and I regard my health restored."

your valuable medicine as long as I continue
