" thought 'twaa hard the toilio', the tide a-pullin' strong, But I shouted " Halleluia I" wbeo the Baby came along, He coaxed me back to youth time, made my life a livio' song I was happy, folks, I tell you, when tbe Baby oame along. For all the dreary winter for all the skies so dim, I seemed to see my mother in the twinklin' eyes of him ; An' a thousand sweetest flowers iu deserts seemed to throng; An' I beard the birds a-tingin' when tbe Baby came along. Lord blest that little Baby the beet one in the ranoh I He'll be yet there, in the springtime just a-wading in the branoh, And God gives him the pleasure of the right above the wrong We were happy, without measure, when the Btby came along 1 NO REST FOR JOHN. A farm laborer was working in a field by the roadside one cold day when clergyman came along the road and stopped to speak to him. "Plenty of work for you this weather, John T" he called out. "Ah I" said John, "I don't know when I don't have to work, no matter what weather cornea." 'That's hard, John," said the clergy man; "but wait till you get to the place of rest, then yon will have no work to do." "Humph I grumbled John, "you needn't tell met They'll find a job for John, never fear I It will be : "Now, John, polish up the tun I' 'John, you ighl bang out the stars I' John, be quick, now, and light up the moon No, no, parson, there ain't no place of rest for John." THE SOUTHERN BARBECUE, PREPARATION OT THE FEAST A8 DES CRIBED BT ONE WHO HAS HAD EX PERIENCE. The way we fix for a barbecue is to begin to get resdy the day befo'. The meat is roastin' all night, says a writer in Outing. We have plenty of different kinds shots, calf, kid and goat and we roast 'em whole. A trench is dug and oak bark coals put in. Then sticks are laid across for the ehote and other creatures to rest on. Some white man hat this is charge, but the niggers keep the fires goio' an' do the basting and the rough work. The next day everybody comes. There's a detail to do the carving, and we ttep up and get what we want and go and sit down by some tree to eat it. Of ooursj, there's potatoes and oornmeal, light-bread aod pickles and cake, and there's ioe cream, and there's pure, genuine ooffee that the old ladies make in abundance. Then there's fried ohicken if anyone is lastidi out enough to want it, and tome enter- priaing fellow is likely to bring a doieo bottles of beer and invite hit special friendt cut to his buggy to drink it. But the lest thing to my thinkin' is the shots, A man hasn't get any part in the resur reetioi until he's eaten barbecued shote. WE CANNOT ESTIMATE. Not until we know all that God knows can we estimate to the full the power and the sacredness of some one life which may teem the humblest in the world.

TUl AGES OP TIME IT WOULD TAKE ONE TO REACH CENTAURI, "Let us suppose a railwsy to have been built between the earth and the filed star Centauri," said a lecturer. "By a consideration of this railway's workings we can get some idea of the enormous distsnoe that intervenes between Centauri and us. "Suppose that I should decide to take a trip on this new serial line to the fixed star. I ask the ticket agent what the fare it, and he answers : "The fare it very low sir. It is only a cent each hundred miles," " 'And what, at that rate, will the through ticket one way cost ?' I ask. " 'It will cost just $2,750,000,000,' he anawers. "I pay for my tioket and board the train. We set off at a tremendous rate. " 'How fast,' I ssked the brakeman, 'ire we going ?' " 'Sixty miles an hour, air,' says he, and it't a through train. There are no stoppages.' " 'We'll soon be there, then; won't we ?' I resume. ' we II mike good time, nr, says the brakeman. " 'And when will we arrive?' "In just 48,663,000 years.' "Phila delphia Bulletin, HIS MOTHER'S PRAYERS. O, POR A REVIVAL Or THE OLD OUH- TOH OP HAVING A I'AMILT ALTAR IN THE HOME." 0, the saving power of mother's pray ers I It cannot be eatimated, Children may grow up apparently indifferent to their home training; they may even be come vile and profligate; tut the memo ry of the family altar, the father's Bible and the mother's prayers will cling to them. These thoughts should encour- sge Chiislian parents to live consistently in the presence of their ehildren, snd to persist in maintaining the family altar. Dr J. Wilbur Chapman relates the following incident, which is in point right hero : "One of my dearest fiiends was a profligate until he was a man grown. In great Western city he had determined to take his life, threw himself down on hit bed just to collect himself before tbe awful deed, and jtrred a little book from off a shelf just above his bed, aod it struck him in the face, With an oath, he threw it from him, and then it dawned upon him that it was his mother's Bible, given him to read. He walked across the room to pick it Dp, just to show her some mark of respect, snd read upon the flyleaf, written in her own hand : 'Dear boy, you can never got away from your mother's prayers.' In stead of becoming a self-murderer, he became one of the country's greatest preachers. 0, for a revival of the old custom of having a family altar in the home, where the father acta as priest, and the mother as a saiot; we oould stir the whole ooun try for Christ, I wish that we might dig again the well that our fathers digged before us, and make homes heaven."
