RELIGION, MORALS AND PHILOSOPHY. Rev. C. C. BROWN", Edicor. AH ! WHO CAN TELL ? Ab? who can tell what waits us wheo the Teil That hides that other Hie is rolled away ? Beyond its bounds mysterious, what dreads assail? What lies within its shadows, who can say ? "What waits us there? . _ _ Beyond our sight? "Hope or despair, Or day or night ? Whence flies the soul when it casts off the D tell? rough mists of blinding In oiM despairingly we grope; Foreboding^^^see the lonely years Unlighted by their love, uncheered by hope Ah ! who can tell Where are our dead? Will all be well '? . When life is'fled ? Guard they our path o*er life's descending slope? Ah! who-can tell? We see the ceremental winding-sheet ; The toll of solemn funeral bells we hear ; The last sad rites are paid, and grief complete Fills all the heart with desolation drear. ? The somber pall The lonely hearth, Can this be all There is of earth ? Bnds"Iife"Wtth coffin, shroud and funeral bier? Ah? who can tell? . - E*en while we weep, the tears thaP ease the heart Io rays prismatic paint th' o'erchanging * skies, And a new hope, of our great grief a part, In faith prophetic to the doubt replies : " *'Bodies mast die-^ ?Deatb is their goal, Lowly they lie Ncc so the soul : God keepeth that with ever watchful eyes All will be well." By ?OIT?W proved, n.adepure by.trials here, The chas ten'd heart looks upward for relief, And bolds in spirit that communion dear Which is the well-spring of this sweet belief, After the strife - Cometh a rest;' Eternal life Forever blest. The soul He gathers borne, a precious sheaf, And all is well. -Boston Transcript. Waiting. There ar?" moments- when one must s stand still ; when no forward step may c be taken, and at snob times the soul is ! | thrown ia upon.-herself.. The .thoughts * are almost insensibly retrospective; and \ the past is gathered up, and bit by bit 1 the life is lived over; while in bringing a results down to the present time one J can form something of an estimate as to the real worth of pursuits and actious ?j long1 past. - Such hours are sometimes the most a important ones in one's wbole life. 1 They are culminating points around f which gather the best and the worst of 1! that character which is formed within a one. 0 If & morbid, unhealthy view of life e has taken possession of the soul, then P the waiting boars may contain moments i a wheo the intense pain of thought may ^ amount almost to agony. While if the *. mind is hopeful aed cheerful, then new e streug'h of purpose is gathered to? gether, ready to be put into action ^ when the proper moment shall come. These waiting hours must come to all. They are the fire which try the T temper of the metal of the inner life. They, maj prove only how worthless ' the life has been, or yet they may bring out the pure gold of worthy character as the case may be. No shriuking from them will be of any avail. If a leapM take? to rid one's self of their influence they will meet one in another shape. They cannot be baffled or with? stood. Better far to meet them hopefully, and courageously, and patiently, too. ?except they nd instead of ?hafing" under ! for any soul md find out j reason why j i ward course, j the pathway j uly wait, not i .etf??y, but j I time . will ; time of the ^ I. * There is always great danger in making changes n when one is not quite what is exactly H the right course to pursue. It is far b better to let opportunity for actiou slip by than to seize upon it, unless one is fully convinced that it is the right opeuing. For by so doing unseen ob- 0 stades may arise, which will hinder i ? for more in the long run than the time j tl lost in waiting for the sure thing would j have done. Many a person has lost j t] much by "impatiently grasping that a which, had he patiently waited, would j have readily come to his hand. Then, j j? restless soul, learn to wait. 40 rest in j \] the Lord ; wait patiently for Jfim-, and ' e: He shall give thee thine heart's de- ? sire/ s The Mind. Nothing so adds to the treasures of the mind and increases its power as its i own thinking. Learn to think for ! yourself. It is ali very well to hear j and to read the wisdom of others, but j one should not let th:s take tbe place of ? one's own thought. Many persons are i like cisterns ; they are good to hold ; the thoughts of others; but, wheu the j time comes they are forced to rely on j imselves, they bave no power to do ! JThe outside supply is cut olf, and rn runs dry. But, if one, like ! tautly fed by one's own ! ^the learning of others j lites with bis own Accomplishments. A judicious mcfher will so manage uer daughters that oven at the early age of thirteen they can, ia an emer? gency, prepare 'a meal of victuals.' A thorough domestic training is very use? ful to a girl. At schcol, she always has a teacher or a fellow pupil at Land ? to help her over bard places ; but if she is set to make a batch of bread her? self, and attends to it from the time the sponge is set till the loaves are taken, sweet, fragrant, golden brown, from j the oven, she lear?us meantime chemis? try, perseverance, delicate manipula? tion, self-reliance and neatness, and ac? quires skill and the habit of carrying ber work in ber mind, as one act of neglect or forgetfulness a: any point of the process may spoil the whole. Because some unwise mothers do not see in the stated and skillful perform? ance by their daughters of household services a certain aud valuable culture which can not be acquired at school ; they are willing to do themselves wh?.t injustice and kindness to their daugli- | ters they should require of them. Girls. I left to their devices, waste a great deal j of time which might be utilized to their advantage. A girl who cati climb trees, or jump rope (a very dangerous pastime, by the way,) who can take long walks, who can skate and row can also sweep and scrub, aud make bread^ and wash and iron, if - she is en? couraged to do so.? These are the ac? complishments she must possess in :>rder to make a happy home, though she may have half a dozen servants at ber beck and call. Those who have sufficient curiosity io investigate this subject will 2nd that many of. the most famous women in literature and art were as skillful in ?.hose accomplishments considered spe? cially, as'they were with the pen or pencil br chisel.. Tn training girls to De useful, and ready to meet any emer? gency, mothers confer upon them an inestimable blessing The Solemn Hour. The present hour is always thc sol? emn hour; the past has ceased to ex? ist, the future is out of reach. The present is within our control ; the past ind futu.-e are not. Responsibility is ?stened to the moment. To meet its iemands is joy aud peace, and is laying ip eternal treasure ; to disregard them j s awful indeed, and is layiug up wrath ! without end for the future. It is a gio- I .ious thiug to do right even in the j ?inallest matter ; it is a dreadful thing .0 do wrong, for in wrong-doing there ire no small matters. Who can be guilty of an infraction of God's holy aw and look his Maker io the face -and ?ay it is a small matter ? But what we h is not all, but what we are is the j jreat poiut. It is a blessed thing to j >e **in the Lord,' for those who live in j he Lord are sure to die in thc Lord.' j STot to be in the Lord is the source of j .11 terror, the concentration of infinite I [cspair and of eternal woe. In the i iord, or not in the Lord-that is the j [uestiou of the hour-of the-inotneut. ? diud and heart are in healthy action j nd full strength, and the great ques- j ion of eternity is iu full view, and ripe ? or decision. Solemn beyond utterance i 5 the hour. God calls to repentance j nd to faith. Yielding to the call or j ot yielding to it makes an hour sol- j mn. Wbcu death comes its shadow j receeding it, stills to unconsciousness i nd sensibility ; there is no call from j Jod then ; the solemn hour is cast ; j be issues of eternity are already decid- ? d.-Christian Index. .

For six years I have been a great sufferer from Blood Disease, Dys? pepsia,and Constipation,ancibecamc so debi*.: tated that I could not ret?is anything oa my stomach, in" feet; life had almost become a burden. Finally, when hope had almost left me, my husband seeing BROWX'S IRO?I BITTERS advertised ia the ?aper, induced me to give it a trial, am now taking the third bottle and have not felt so well in six years as I do at thc present time. Mrs. L. F. GRIPFIK. BROWN'S IRON BITTERS will have ? better tonic effect upon any one who needs "bracing up," than any medicine made.
