When heavy burdens of duty weigh
down the soul the heart will gain
strooitth by a reference to what God bm
dona In the past, A minister was about
to engage in I revival oampaign in a
western city, He was muoh eierciaed
over tbe spiritual eondition of the com
munity, The church was one of Ilia
oldest in the State, and one whieh bed
made an honorable record, but for veais
there bad been no revival. Tbe people
had oome to think that revival such aa
tbe faihera witnessed were act to be
looked for in these days, and they l ad
eeased to eipeot them. They did not
l0"k with muoh favor on revival eff.irls
But the pastor, seeing the need, prayed
earneatly for divine help Then this
thought came into hie mind: Ood has
poured out his Spirit gracirasly in
former dsjs in this very house under tbe
preaching of my predecessors. Tbe
names snd faces of those illustrious pre
decessors came vividiy before his mind.
They were older, wiser, and greater men
than be. But be remembered that Ood
is no respecter of person', and that he is
just ss willing to pour out his Spirit now
under the preachtog of bis i rvaot
as he was then. This thought oj, ; put
mercies gsve the faith of tbe pastor such
a grasp ot his privilege as be bid never
bad. His doubts vanished, md be saw
the bbiting befoie it came. It was tbe
beginning of a gracious work, in which
two hundred souls were converted. This
is precisely the way io which the Lord
encouraged Joshua. "Aa I waa with
Moses, so I will be with you," slid he.
To us the ume promise ooroes. As tbe
Lird was with our fathers, so will he be
with us, His former mercies shall be
repeated to all those who trust in bim.

How do I loe her ? 'Tie a theme I fain would dwell upon I
1 love her iu the mad, fr way with which bold rivets run,
I love ber as tbe roses love the first kiss of tbe suo,
I love her with uofettered heart my darling I
I love her as tbe mountaineer doth love bis native heights,
I love ber as the soldior loves the field whereon he fights,
I love her as the poet loves tbe fair Italian nights,
1 love her with unfettered heart my darling I
I lova her, ay 1 I love her 'tis a song that thrills me through
As tbe sailor laves the puleiog breast of ooeao's boundless blue,
I love her as the dove luves with a love that's real and true,
I love ber with unfettered heart my darling I
I love her as the monarch loves the people whom he shields,
I love her as the savage loves the lawless power be wields,
Or as fair child; en wandering love the beauty of the fields.
I love her with unfettered heart my darling I
For she is gentle ss the breath which tropic south-winds blow,
And lovely as the aui's first blush that in the east dotb glow,
Sura as a saint's last, holy prayer breathed plaintively and low
Who oould resist ber matchless charms my darling I
OH ASK ME NOT,"
Love, should I set my heart upon a crown,
Squander my years snd gain it,
What recompense of pleasure oould I own
For youlb's red drops that stain it ?
Much have I thonght on what our life may mean,
And what ia best endeavor ;
Seeing we may not oome again to glean,
But, losing, lose forever.
Seeing how resists, making choice of pain,
From home and country parted,
Have thought it life to leave their fellows slain,
Their women broken-hearted.
How tessiog truth a thoussod faces claims,
As in a brokeo mirror,
And what a father died for io the flames
II ia own son acorns as error.
How even they whose hearts were sweet with song
Must quaff oblivion's potion,
And soon or Isle their sails be lost slong
lhe all-eurrounding ocean.
Oh, ask me not the haven of our ships,
Nor what flag floats above you I
I hold yon close, I kiss your sweet, sweet lips,
And love you, love you, love you I
REMBMBER. MOTHER, BOYS, BEFORE IT
H TOO LATE COURT HER AS YOD
Ifl'DLU A SWECruEAKT, IP TOC
WOULD MAKE HER HA PPT.
Thertl bow the chirp of that lonely
criokot brings to mind the dear old
home, yes, years and yiars aod years
a;o, we sro afraid to say how many
when t lie brents crept in uoder the low
hinging brandies snd the graceful elm
swept the riuf ol the old horns with iis
amhraoe, when thn odor of phlox and
tuberoses wafted in frmn the gsrilm,
We rem-mber tho ('cop tlnrk shadow

I'shts through the red eiinaio"il win

music, a-d mother.
Do you rrmcuib r mother? It is your
mother we mess.
i ne mother wno laugl e,l over our
hiby amies, grew proud of our boyish
triumphs, hid her sad heart beats when
we left the home fold to win our way io
the world, the mother whose hair grew
gray io ber care for us, whose heart
grew bumble by the multitude of her
prayers in our behalf, whoBe face grew
more tender as the years marked their
progress! upon her cheeks, whose steps
faltered and whose hands trembled be
cause her bouyancy had been given free
ly io our behalf. The mother wha staid
in the old home while we were far a
way. Tbe mother bird in tbe nest after
the fledgling bad flown,
There came at last a letter to us in
another band, and dear old mother was
at rest. Then we went home but tbe
old lime home was gone forever Ah,
we know, how trival everything then
seemed beside mothers love. Waknow
how a kiod word of old would have
cheered her heart. We know how tbe
business cares crowded out the home
letters; and how mother watched and
waited for the tardy missive. We know
how ber heart bled for an old time
caress, aod how she went to rest with a
prayer on her lips for you. And now
it is too Isle snd the crickets play their
lonesome melody, while s white stone in
"God's Acre" marks where mother rests
after her work ia done.
Remember mother, boys, before it u
tos late we have yet time to show our
appreeiation of her love. See her hair,
is ss white as snow, snd it has been
bleached by care for you. Watch her
steps how they falter. Cherish her.
show her your love. Court her as
you would a sweetheart, if you would
make her happy. All too soon this
otber will be gone, snd then God grsnt
the cricket song will bring us naught but
ind memories.
