And they crime to a place which war named Oethseniane. niul Hesaith to His disciples, Sit ye here while I shall pray." Oil their way to the mount of Olives He told them that, according to the Scriptures, He ( would he smitten and they would forsake . Him. He said also that Peter would deny ' Him, upon which Peter and all the others t said that they would never do such a thing (verses 27 to SI). They then come to Oeth- , semane. which signifies an oil press, sugges- , tive of the bruising which He was here to undergo that He might give to us the anointing ; of the Holy Spirit. For the trials of Oeth- I semane special strength wai needed, concerning which He- must talk with His Father, but | into this and many other communions His , disciples cannot enter, so He goes alone to , ! pray. 33. "And He taketh with Him Feier and James and Jo?c and began to be sore amazed and to be very heavy." Matthew says \ "sorrowful and very heuvy."

J If ever a sense of heaviness and darkness conies over you in your Christian life, when you know in your heart that you desire ' above all things to serve the Lord and do only His will, think upon Isa. 1.. 10, and praise God lor fellowship with His Son ' Jesus Christ. I 35. ' And He went forward a little and j lell on the ground and prayed that if it wore | possible the hour might pass from Him." He seems tc have left eight of the disciples just inside the garden, to have taken the three a little further, and then to have gone alone about a stone's cast (Luke xxii., 41), and to have kneeled down, then fallen upon His face. He certainly did not shrink from the cross and the atonement which He came tc> make, hut a careful study of Heb. v.. 7, will show that the agony was 'so great that He feared lest He might die under it and not reach the cross to finish the great atonement. 30. "And He said: Abba, Father, ail things are possible unto Thee. Take away this cup 1 from Me. Nevertheless not what i will, but j what Thou wilt." We read elsewhere that i He prayed earnestly, with strong crying and tears, and sweat as it were drops of blood, ! and that an angel strengthened Him. He j was willing t<> die in the garden aud leave ! His great work unfinished if it should please ] the Father to have it so. but the passage in Hebrews says that H< was heard, and there- [ fore delivered from this premature death. I This is the lu st light I have upon it. aud present it jis such, hut let each snatch for J himself in reliance upon the Holy Rp.rit.

Once upon a time, when we traveled j toward the setting sun, our boon companion, a huge tin lunch box, was in n very demoralized conditiou long be- ! fore the Bix days' ride was over. That : same lunch box has several times ' crossed the Rocky Mountains, but its ; load has not since consisted principally ' of rich cakes and other sweets to pall | the appetite and crumble over the 1 other articles of food. Some crisp, spicy ginger suap? make a good finish for a luuch, but the best desserts consist of tart, juicy fruit, either canned or fresh, and jam or J jelly. Thin slices of pressed chicken, veal or beef loaf make good sand- ; wiclies, so does boiled [hatu, but avoid salty meats as they create thirst. Hardboiled eggs, bottled pickles, meat or > vegetable salads and spiced fruits make good relishes. If lemons are to lie had j carry a bottle of leiuon juice and sugar for lemonade. A tablespoonftil or two of tea may be placed in a small bottle and this tilled with water. A little of ! this iu n glass of cold water makes n I pleusnnt summer drink for travelers. A frieml tells me how a kind relative , prepared her meals for a ten days' ride. Each lunch was wrapped up by itself in tissue paper. No two were j exactly alike, and the tiny bit of j curiosity and surprise accompanying j the unfolding of each, served as an excellent appetizer.?American Agriculturist. THE MATTF.H OF CUSHIONS. "Whoever heard of a house with too many cushions? The chAirs need I cushions, and so dothe hammock, the t sofas, lounges, divans, while generous, ! sturdy cushions for the feet are among ' the luxuries of rest. Always cover cushions first with uubleached muslin j or bedticking, and then put over it the outer covering. This will prevent the studiug from workiug out, and the pretty cases from wearing out too quickly. Delicate, tinted cover- | ings for cushions ought to be made of 1 materials that may be laundred, for J uuiumg ih more onensive man a soiled cushion. There is n wide range of clothes to choose from, even under this coudi- j tiou. CiiiiiH silks, pongees, plain and fancy linens, dainty ginghams, chain brays, aud lawus are some of the fab- , ries. Chintz, eretonue and velours make suitable coverings for those cushions that will see hard service, 1 while grass-cloth is specially adapted to cover veranda or hammock pillows, as it is not injured by rain. There ire also several materials for filling I the cnshons. Excelsior or liny will answer to put in cushions tor the ! floor or doorstep, when curled hair cannot be had. Iiair cushions ought to be tufted, aud, when so made, are the best for chair seats. But hair, as ivel' as wool, which is an excellent stuffing, mat and puck down, and cushions tilled with either of these lubstanccs will uoed to be made over occasionally, aud the hair or wool picked apart. (loose down is not as desirable as , the costly citler down, because it | works through cloth. Goose feathers , ire the best tilling for sofa and louuge ] cushions, while an outer coat of hen's feathers will forma fair stuffing for a | cushion, with excelsior or hay for the j mass of its filling.
