Y COMFORTING. j ' 1 jvr SEXTIMEXTAI SED3ZON BY J IIENBY nXOUXT, eflectlonS of III Own Heart's amines, as He Sits all Alone In h Dreamius. ; e trials and troubles and torments and rations of this life are but the dust and $ fiung into our eyes, as we go hur iv )n in Time's rushing car to the end tol route on the river of death. And e reach the terminus, and make the ?e, oh what a blessed transition it will o more dust, no more heat, no more ic, no more cinders, no more choking e, no more travel-stain, for the trip oc upon the verdue-ballisted road of lower laden banks of the sparkling Ri- v Life -which fiows by the Great White ne of God. The fogs and vapors of 'v and gloom which beset us here be- ill be changed up there into the shin- ijray and glimmering mist of joy and tness of the God fed fountains of bliss ' mortality, while all the clanging ; of jarring discord, which now distract ? torment us . here so sorely, wiU be ned in the dulcet tides of the everlasting ms of those celestial harmonies whose ing and bounding waves of melody, ise and strike against the very , dome iaven, and make it one eternal sound board of rapturous praise and song. eer up, oh weary fellow travelers to aity, and take new hope, ye fainting I The tiresome journey will soon be ,1, the blessed change will soon be ., and our visions, refreshed and gthened, will rest upon the brilliant ss of everlasting splendor, which live l th -daziling corniSCSJions of spark ; gleamings that come flashing in unen ; ripples of quenchless radiance from he Throne of Light. Yes, our senses ivill catch the perfume of sweeter flow Suid our ears will drink in the melody Lirer songs. The streams will have a ial current, and Jheir brilliant ripples I rival in radiance the shower of sun hs, for there will be no dregs at the pm, no driftwood of earthly passion up is stainless bosom. And the trees too have a richer, more luxuriant foliage, hey will bask in the perpetual sunlight od's luminous presence, and be robed lightest verdue forever. Oh what de ible and rapturous scenes of beauty greet our vision then, as we go rol- in sweet and intoxicating enchantment I- the blissful vales of blest Elysium, 'eader, are 3-ou getting ready for this ige the last great change between e and Eternity ; has your passport been ied and coanter6ighned by a true re- ance and the precious pardon of a lov Savior? If so, you will welcome the hge with sweet delight, and when the bre brakeman Death shall shout bry, "Change cars" you will step gladly knowing that waiting angels are te to bid you welcome home. Blessed nge! blessed meeting! and oh the ec- fc rapture of heart thrilling joy of the cious reunion with the loved ones who : e gone before. And sweeter still is the rious thought that the pangs of parting i never more be felt, for heart beats will - Igle with heart beats forever and forever tireless pulsings of perpetual rapture und the throne of God. ' Home Sweet Home. -wittle word, but none so potent and mag ' t in its influences. Why is it that "Home ,eet Home" so thrills the pulses and rms the blood and mists the eye when , t it is sung to the world ? It is because it Jcs appeal so powerfully and tenderly ' human souls, and because it never fails to " ;pire a sentiment that animates every ;ast. No other word stirs such emotions no other sound is so freightened with ly memories. Visions of gold in far off ields may allure our straying footsteps, but we cannot forget the old fireside, however humble; nor its flowers, .however coarse; nor its friends, however unlearned and un comely ; when the winds are sighing a dis mal misere, the memory of all steals over us with a heart breaking tenderness akin to the pathos that saddened the Swiss guards when the Rans de Vanches was sung. Ah dearly as they loved their honor, the love ; of home and associations was stronger ..he killing exile could no longer be borne "aid the disgrace and penalty of desertion were forgotten in the unconquerable yearn .ng for another glimpse of his native hills, and the old garden orchard and streams. Hear the story of Rob Roy, when com pelled by his great foe to leave his much loved father and flee for safety in stranger lands, how his and every other heart broke under mealancholy plaint of poor Helen, until hd cried out in .his great sorrow, "I wouldnot have that touch of the heart break again no ! not for all the broad lands once owned by the MacGorgers." "Locha bar no more' was to much for the olfl High land regiment in Canada, for the remem brance of home's familar haunts and the groves and voices and hand clasps of friends saddened every heart and moistened every eye till they laid down their arms to forget they were soldiers, and wept as chil dren. In our wanderings we may find re gion more beautiful, Jdes more blue, flowers more fragrant, and friende as loving, but the scenes and associations and tender at tractions of home will ever stand first in love and last in menory. TOMY8AINTED1YIFE IX IIEAVEX. Strange, strange, for thee and me, Sadly afar. Thou 6afe beyond, above, I 'neathf the star; Thou where flowers leathless spring, I where they fade ; Thou in God's paradise, I 'mid pie shade. Thou where each gr'.le breathes balm, I templest tossed ; Thou where true jov is found, j I w hens' 'tis lost; Thou counting ages thine, I not tihe morrow ; Thou learning morp of bliss, I more of sorrow. Thou in eternal peJiceK ' I 'ml tA jearth's strife; Thou wherc cart alii rio name, I wh fcre'tis life; Thou without neeli of hope, I wh :re 'tis rain ; Thou with wings I wi dropping light, h time's chain. Strange, strange, Lov or thee and me, ed, loving ever; Thou bv life's det thless fount, In ar death's river; Thou winning wisdom's lore, I sflrength to trust; Thou 'mid the hraphim, mm I ih the dust. ft 1 rlf The careless, matter-'of-fact lips salutation of our every ' dAy' experience vanish from memory scared leaving a trace of their ex so with that kiss in which istence ; but no seems condensed alii the tenderness of a lifetimefand yrpich can no more perish than can the coulb y which it is treasured. This is not the "bliis" of shadow kissing, but an ever present c pnsciousness, that tender sym pathizing kisses have been showered upon us by one whjose soul is akin to ours. The way may be long and gray, and life's nar row pathway) hedged with thorns, but by and by, if thlfs be one of the beattitudes of our God-thranod home, we shall feel their rapturous trlrill once more. While that kiss often m tikes us sadder men and women it rarely fail to make us better, and more worthy of tlfte God-given life by unseating our finer naltures and creatine within us an intense yeai our stropge ning for that great love of which t earthly love is but the faintest prelibation. The Woman Who Laughs. For a gpod everyday household angel i give us theL woman who laughs. Her bis cuits may noV be always right, and she may occasionally burn her bread and forget to replace dislocated buttons, but for solid comfort all dar and every day she is a very paragon. Horfie is not a battle-field, nor life one long ilnending row. The trick of always seeing I the bright side, or if the mas ter has no brpght side of shining up the dark or.e is al very important faculty ; one of the things f no woman should be without. We are not all born with the sunshine in our hearts, al the Irish prettily phrase it but we can cf ultlvate a cheerful sense of hu mor if we omly try. r A Good Reason. A New Work man has asked for a di vorce becauffse a mustache is sproutine on his wifi's lilp. As a rule it makes a man mad td havfle any mustache on his wife's Hp bun his gown. MIXTURE. t.

Trials may lead us safely up life's hill, but, if the driver don't object we will ride. If a man could kick himself every time he felt like it, his shoemaker would make money. Plant seeds of knowledge, early and late; pull error and foolishness whenever thsy are in sight. N The crow is not so bad a bird. It never shows a white feather, and never complains without caws. The milk of human kindness is present in some folks about as nutritive properties are in turnips. Of course Solomon was the wisest man. A fellow with 700 wives had a chance to get instruction. We exist in the flight of time, which is present, for as soon as the future appears it becomes the past. Man is constantly trying to make some thing to so nearly resemble the truth as to be mistaken lor it. When Senator Chanler speaks in the Senate now, he Is greeted fron the galle ries with "ear, 'ear." Envious persons are such by reason of iheir wasting so much time in looking after the prosperity of others. The present system of culture wears out people so fast that the "unwashed" will al ways remain in the majority. A man who believes he can overtake perfection is like a ball trying to catch it self by rolling around in a tub. Many musical instruments are now made of paper. This is plfeasant news.
