"Whom first we love, you know, we seldom wed, Time lules us all. And life, indeed is not The thing we planned it out ero hope was dead, And then, we women cauoot choose our lot. "Much must be borne which it is hard to bear; Much were given away which were sweet to keep. God help us all I who need indeed, His care, Aud yet, I know the Shepherd knows His sheep. "My little boy begins to babble now Upon my knee bis earliest infant prayer, He has his lather's eager eyes, I know; And, they say, too, bis mother's sunny hair. "But when he sleeps and smiles upon my kneo And I can feel bis breath come and go, I think of one (Heaven help and pity me I) Who loved me, and whom I loved, long ago. "Who might have been ah! what I dare not think I We are all ehanged. God judges for us bett. God help us to do our duty, and not shrink, And trust in Heaven humbly for the rest. "But blame us women not, if some appear Too cold at times; and acme too gay and light, Some griefs gnaw deep. Some woes sre hard to bear, Who knows the past? And who nan jndgn us right ? "Ah, were we judged by what we might have been, And not by what we are too apt to fall I My little child he sleeps and smiles between These thoughts snd me. In Heaven we shall know all I" "SOME OF THESE DAYS." BY FRANK L. 8TANTON I. "Some o' these days" that's the way that we sing it "Some o' these days" si the merry bells ring it; In the dark o' the ways All the stars are ablaia O'er the dreams that are leading to some o' these days I II. "Some o' these days 1" that's the old song forever I Life will leach heights crowning every endeavor; And'prayer will be praise Where anthems we'll raise In the beautiful auoiise of some o' these days I III. "Some o' these Jays that's the way for the siogio'l "Some o' these days" let the bells keep a-ringin'; Though aorrow betrays And thorns choke the ways, God's roses will bloom for ui some o' these day. I HE COULDN'T FORGET IT. Tbey sat there in the gloaming; the night brctii murmured by, Its melody a oadeoee half laden with a sigh She turned and eyed him loudly; then gently, aoftly said, "The yearn have loft their record upon your snowy head, Bui still I eao't forget them, those days so bright sod blue, Wheny iu were 'lovey dovey' and I was 'ootsey-oo" Tbe moos hung low; the moonbeams came mellow from afar; A .ross the buy distance there gleamed the evening star Tbe hour bad made her tender, bad called to mind the past. "Ah" tremblingly ahe breathed il "if these young days eould last I When you were 'lovey dovey' and I was 'ootsey-oo ' " Uneasily hs twisted upon bis rockiog chair. "Do you remember," she asked him, "those days so sweet and fair? Do yon remember, darling, how dear it seemed to yon When I said 'lovey dovey' and yon said 'oolaey-ooT' " He found his voioe that moment, snd eotaey-oo was jarred; "No, I cannot forget them, but I'm trying to mighty hard."

I Jumped on a car and rode out to his place, and wondered whether he would fall otf bis bench or awing his hammer and cheer when I broke the good news to him. IIu did neither. He Just sat and tared at me, nml gradually a look of trouble came Into his face. What Is It, Uncle Jerry?' I asked. You don't seem to bo a bit pleased over tlio groat news.' " 'Y e s.

" It was the remark of Canon Liddoo, one of England's greatest preachers, that it was tlio dislitiguUliitig characteristic of the true Christian thai, be his sins what tbpy might, he never regarded them invincible." Another distinguished evanuelioil mioistcr wl o only a few years ago passed away in this country expressed the conviction that no one who main tained the habit of prayer was ever lost. These propositions, says the Christian Work, are mutually inclusive; if the one is true and who will question either? both are. Tbe truth is, the Christian woo repeatedly and constantly wars against his sins and however be may fall persistently prays for deliverance, thereby testifies his belief ia his heart that victory will yet be his, lie cannot, he v. ill not give up his striving against sin. Ho gladly, could be but do it, would he re move the causj of the tetuptatioo from bis sight, however at times when om fronted by it ho fall-! And ihn r.sist- enoe to siu not ouly bespeak the wsifure which the apostle enj ins the believer to wage unceasingly, but it hI-.i certifies to he habit of prayer; for luw can the be liever ezpeot to receive grace to hi Ip in time of need txu pt by uiiliz'tig the sacred and effective) ffiee of nrayei? And who needs to be told that iheie can bi no persistent fighting ol i-io wi-hout prayer, or that no one will per.-Heutly pray for deliverance from siu i xcept that he refuses to regard his tin as invincibli? There are many who all their life long are kept as it were under toodage, be cause of which they cannot be happy; they believe in prayer and in the ulti mate victory over sin, but deliveranee seemed so very, very far off. But cour age, brothei! For your want of faith which makes the battle all the harder. you have correspondingly to suffer. But the end will come and with it victory Keep up iho struggle, keep up the pray inland you shall surmount the Hill Difficulty and see the Delectable Mount ains which for none i f us are so very far off.
