All the earth la fillod with Messing

And lor every day ol troullo
There shall come a day of joy,
There are moments full of silver
As the, showers trom Heaven which fall,
And the lonilorness ollovinir
Is the blessing of thorn all.
Though the clouds may hang above us,
Somewhere sunlight lingers still ;
And the pold ol' every moment
hh.ll surpass the moment's ill
Love and truth are yet immortal,
Loving souls Immortal, too j
And the glory of a jewel
Sparkle In a drop of dew.
Tai-e the dew-drops as Hod gives thorn,
llo fioy moments, bo th .y hours,
So tho stream ol 1 i : c wliii h hears you
Shall flow on through hanks ol" (lowers,
There are moment" lull ol blessing
As the showers from Heaven which fill.
Hut the tenderness of loving
Is tho bles-s-ing of nil,
THE POOR MAN'S TEMP

Among the passengers abroad the thip
Petrel, bound Irom New Yoik to Sun

and their six-year-old daughter, Flora,
Warren hail been unfoitunate.
By carelul saving Irom his income as a
clerk in a dry goods store he had built a
little house one story and a h ill high and
therefor lour jiae, with Ins wile and

1 ioke-1 abont him pemeveringly lor steady,
honest work of Rome kind not caring

One day a laborer who was obliged to
be absent from his plane of toil a brink
ol earth which was being removed-permitted
him tn act as his substitute lor
ten bouts. Warren plied the pick and
shry-el manfully and received one dollai
when his task was done. I '.is health not

He told his house and with moie of the

Very soon the lurid flimes, roaring aod

Warren had brought up from the cabin
a tin box. containing rive In. mini duilars
which remained Irom tho sale of his

With his wile end child he got inlo one

How much good tu-t amount would do

His gi ze was caught by a slip ol paper

He took it out and read it:

Kogt r p.armont! Warren had seen the

A few days before he had unsucccs-fully

he would send me the keg of cnur.tcrluts
as he would rather they should not be
found about his preniisen. He was afraid
it would make people think he had been a
counterfeiter. Alter his tleath I was to
advertise lor his sistt r. He did it. it know
whether she was living or not, but il I
found her, I was to give her his mom

piomiscil lo comply with. It was also

hear ol him, or hear nt his dcalh withiu

keep his money for my own use, and not
trouble mvsell to make any inquires about
his sifter. I expostulated with him on
this point, but he had always been
eccentric, and he would now have his
own way. Hid I not heard of his death

would iiave expired, and I should have
kept my agreement by retaining the
money, I hope you will believe mc when
I say that I am really glad ot the chance
which has been a Horded mo of giving it to
the rightful heir.'
When he was gono Warren said to his
wife :
