4 , 0iV rK. FANNIS K. BENSON. Be patient I life is very brief. It passes quickly by, And if it prove a troubled scene Beneath a stormy sky, -It is but like the shaded nisrht That brings a morn of radiance bright. Be hopeful I cheerful faith will bring A living Joy to thee, And make thy life a hymn of praise. From doubt and murmur free ; Whilst, like the sunbeam, thou wilt bless. And bring to others happiness. Be earnest ! an immortal soul Should be a worker true ; Employ thy talents for thy God, And ever keep In view The Judgment scene the last great day When heaven and earth shall pass away. Be holy ! let not sin's dark stain Th y spirit's whiteness dim; Keep close to God amid the world. And put thy trust in Him : -So, midst thy business and thy rest. Thou wilt be comforted and blest. Be prayerful 1 ask, and thou wilt have Strength equal to thy day ; Prayer is the hand that guides the world. Oh, make it thou thy stay ! Ask largely, and thy God will be A kingly giver unto thee. HOW TO ENJOY LIFE. 1 Buoyant spirits and happy thoughts are natural to the young, out youm does not always last. In our youth we must form those habits which will enable us to enjoy to the full extent all the years that God gives us. To that end let me give you a few simple rules. 1. Always be full of some earnest pursuit. I think even Sisphus must have been happier, perpetually rolling the same stone up the same hill, than he could have been ages with nothing to do. "Activity devoted to useful ends" is a good definition of happiness. Babies and kittens are happy without an aim iu life, but there is a kind and degree of enjoyment which cannot possibly content strong and growing minds. 2. If possible never be behind in your work. Perhaps you have heard the old story of' the iek boy, whose physicians declared that he had eyery svmptoin of overwork. "Impossible," said his mother. "He is required to do nothing except to bring in one bucket of water each day." "When does he bring it?" said the doctor. "We try," was the answer, "to have it done in the morning, but he puts it off; and though often reminded of it, he generally neglects it until we are obliged to call him up again after he has gone to bed, that he may bring it." "Ah," saM the doctor, "that ex plains it all. Make him bring it early in the morning, and he will get well." And he hid. The work which we neg lect and carry on our consciences wears us more than all that we do. Joseph Cook once wrote in a young girl's album, "Duty done is the soul's fireside." 3. Form the habit of being thankful for your blessings. This is the key to that wonderful gift contentment. There are many people dressed in silks and sealskin, and shining with beauti ful jewels, who are covered with mor tification, because they are so illy clad, and full of of anger'to think that bet ter garments are not theirs while oth ers whose scanty clothing is hardly decent or comfortable, have hearts full of gratitude and joy. Besides, thankfulness, which binds us to other loving hearts, is the sweetest part of all the good we can get from our pos sessions. These three things will do much to make our lives happy. Let me make one other suggestion. Take care that your amusements are really recrea tion. They must not be the business of life. When amusement becomes pur chief pursuit, it soon palls on the taste. And when the power of enjoy ment is last in this way it is hard to recover. The power of recreation, like that. of digestion, once inpaired, can only be recovered with great diffi culty and by long abstinence, Neither should amusement be a pas sion with us. Play rests us. Passion, is like a fire which burns that on which it feeds, and ever calls for morei Be ware of the games whose interest is stimulated by gets, or by those con venient apologies for bets, prizes. Be ware of the amusements which lead to late hours and mornings heavy with languor and depression. Some public amusements can never ba healthy, be cause their promoters are compelled to make them popular by every vary ing methods of passionate excitement. Work in the business of life, and play, which diverts us from heavier cares and helps us to fellowship with kin dred spirits, should not unfit us for it. Withal, do hot forget the highest aim for work, usefulness; and the best of all recreation, prayer. The Congrega tionalist. LEARN TO UNTIE STKINGS. One story of the eccentric Stephen Girard says that he once tested the quality of a boy who applied for a sit uation by giving him a match loaded at both ends and ordered him to light it. The boy struck the match, and after it had burned half its length, threw it away. Girard dismissed him because he did not save the other end for future use. The boy's failure to notice that the match was a double ended one was natural enough, consid ering how matchesare generally made; but haste and heedlessness (a habit of careless observation) are responsible for a greater part of the waste of property in the world. Said one of the most successful mer chants of Cleveland, Ohio, to a lad who was opening a parcel: "Young man, untie the strings; do not cut them " It was the first remark that he had made to a new employe. It was the first lesson the lad had to learn, and it involved the principles of success or failure in his business career. Point ing to a well-dressed man behind the counter,. he said: "There is a man who always whips out his scissors and cuts the strings of the package in three or four place?. He is a good salesman, but he will never be any thing more. I presume he lives from hand to mouth, and is more dr less in debt. The trouble with him is tat he was never taught to save. "I told the boy just now to untie the strings, not so much for the value of the string as to teach him that every thing is -to be saved and nothing wasted." The Masonic secret is out at last. The earthquake frightened a Mason Lodge at Cleveland. O., and the neo phyte of the evening rushed into the street witn a came rouna ms waisi, ai first he thought the shock was the goat butting him. WHERE IS HEAVEN? Th nincmlftr nnestion was out to Ram .Trma. tha Av&ncelist. bv one of his wealthy Church members in Geor- gia, whose cotton crop yieidea mm some $20,0001 the last year.' "Where is heaven!" said the rich planter. "I'll tell you where heaven is," said Air. Jones, "it you win go aown io fka ttiIIq rro a-rtf knv flftv dollars' worth of groceries, put them in a wagon and take them to the poor , wiaow on me hillside, who has three of her children sick. She is poor' and is a member of the Church. Take with you a nurse, and . some one to cook their meals. When yon get there, read the twenty third Psalm, and kneel by her side and prayj then you will find out where heaven is." Next day, as the evangelist was walking through the village, he met this same wealthy planter, his face beaming with joy. He spoke after this manner: "Mr. Jones, Pve found out where heaven is. I went and did as you di rected me. We took up the wagon load of groceries, and the poor widow was completely overcome with joy; she could not express her thankful ness. As I read to her the twenty third" Psalm my heart was filled with thankfulness to God, and when I pray ed, the angels came down, and I thoncht I was nearer to heaven than I had ever been in mv life. I left,the nnrse and the cook in her humble dwelling and promised her she should never suffer so long as I couid help her." Exdiange. INFLUENCE. Influence is a talent that must not be wrapped up in a napkin. Neither should it be depreciated. Many think themselves of but little account in tne social scale and in the controlling ac tivities of life. At best, they regard themselves as only negative charac ters. They can not do great things like others. They can not see any erood that they are doing. One, how eyer, knows not of how much use he is. He may be doing his greatest work. when, in his own estimation, he is seemingly doing the least. Words spoken under certain circumstances carry a weight that affect character and conduct and bear fruits long after the speaker has gone to his reward. Deeds live; and the humblest services are often the most lasting. The fath er perpetuates himself in his son. A mother's impress upon her child is in- AvtofUnnKln A oi el m'3 o nrtt 1 k on1 tirtil- ness go to a brother's heart and re strain him from many a snare, a son's sympathy, affection and assistance cheer and animate many a fond par ent. "No one liveth unto himself, or dieth unto himself." We are also bound in society-so variously and in timately related, that each acts upon the other for good or evil. Mysterious, all permeating and controlling is in fluence! Happy are we who use it aright tor our human weltare! A SERMON ON ANGER. A brother got furiously mad with us some time ago. He stormed like a volcano and his wrath was at white heat. He fell upon us and told with vigorous indignation how bad he thought we were. We enjoy it. We always respect an honest mad man. His wrath is a token of his sincerity. There was something so charming in his realness and candor that we al most forgot that we were the target at which his blows were directed. When he finished we simply explained to him how it all happened. The storm cloud broke and the genial sunlight was on his brow again. If we must get angrj7 let us do it hotly and cour ageously; let us blaze like a furnace and go for the anger at once. In this way we may finish up the business in a single day and the setting sun will not tsee the wrathcloud on our brow. I was troubled with chronic catarrh arid gathering in the head; was deaf at times, had discharges from ears, unable to breathe through nose. Before the second bottle of El v's Cream Balm was exhausted I was cured. C. J. Corbin, 923 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, Pa.
