Hrayinq for Fatobr.—A dear little girl had been taught to pray especially for her father. He had been suddenly taken away. Kneeling at k«r evening devotion, her voice faltered ; nod as her eyes met her mother’s, she sobbed “Q, inothor, I cannot leave'hint all out.

Not a single cherub or seraph ; not a single tkrone or dominion, or principality Or power j not a single morn ing star or Sou of God 13 left. Gabriel vanishes as a phantom, and Michael van ishes into the air. and is seen no more.— Take away the Bible, and you take away the elect succession of inspired men.— Not a simile patriarch, or priest, or prophet, or Apostle, nr evangelist remains to pro claim er-record a single- superhuman ora pie'.

An old man came along the sea-shore and sitting down to rest on the bank side, he watohed the golden rays of the setting sun as they came streaming down the Wes tern heavens : ho noticed how they fell across the ocean wave, gliding the stately ships, and then, deepening they shone faint ly on the ivy mantled ruins of an old cas i tie on tire bills of the Eastern shore.— ! “And I am gray,” he murmured : “I stand i afar off, and 0 God, others go on their way rejoicing in the brightness of Thy presence, but Thy light lalls dimly on me. T aln weak, but Thou art strong: my time is short, and will’ soou be passed away, but Thou art everlasting, and a thousand years am to Thee, as a day that is passed ; my knees are feeble and tremtuing, my hand unsteady, and at every earn or alarm, my heart flutters and my head bows down. It was Thy right hand that spanned the heav <-us ; Th<>u rulest the raging of the sea. and Thy path is in the great waters. O divine strength. O Light of lights. I lift my soul to Thee. Let no mist9 of unbelief arise before me ; let no clouds of worldliness and sin come before Thee and me , yea, draw me safely across the waves of this trouble some world till I lose myself altogether in Th - Still the sunshine falls across the waters, and the waves break over the- shore ; but a silver cord is lost and a golden bowl is bro ken. The old man will never weary any mom. neither wiil his hand be unsteady, for now he is lost in the land that is very far off, where they need no light of the sun and where the weary are at rest. “Is this All of Life *?”—S') said a man of wealth os. lying upon 3 sick bed, lie looked back over fifty years, fifty years of of pleasure and ease. lie had loved dear friends, and they were dead ; ho had cher ished great hopes, and they were not all realised ; still his life had seemed happier ! than ijiOSt of his fellows But be had liv ! od for self, aud not tor Christ; he had laid ‘ up his treasure on earth, not in heaven ; — and now, a3 he looked back on nity years, they seemed a blank; and as he looked forward, a darker unknown blank obscured his vision, v j jLn aped Christian, just as ho was pass ing away, said, ‘*1 am just beginning to live.

Do good to all. The Touchstone of Success. The secret of a Sunday School teacher's success has been sought far and near, and has been discussed with no little earnestness at conventions, and by the press. Theories have been advanced, methods invented,tools provided, and zeal expended in great pro fusion, to this cue end, that the. worker may be sure of the desired result. And yet, al though many teachers are successful in the highest and best sense, the very eargerness with which many others seek and adopt new suggestions and’ make then) the hobby .of a day h evidence that genuine, permanent success is not. yet theirs. Buildings rest ing on the sure foundation do not need o change of corner stpnc.s.. All tr’^e secrets are the Lord’s, and are given into the possession of those that fear him and hope in his mercy They cannot be di-covered by any intellectual process, by any consultation of doctors, or patient prying on iup pari ui Even the crucible of experience, which reveals so many of the subordinate conditi ons of success, will not give up the one fact which makes them of use. And yet the precious touchstone is in the hands of thousands who are constantly proving its efficacy, and who claim neither patent right nor technical skill Clearly it is not because the means of success is not known, but because it is neglected ^nd despised that it is not in general use. Teachers, like all other Christian work ers. are too ready to exalt themselves and their own plans, to the disregard of the Spirit, which works through all plans and ali instruments. . It is not mere earnestness it is net learned explanation, it is not sing ing. or visiting, it is not pmeted personal conversation, nor all of these, that avail to bring souls to the Saviour. It is rather love shining from the heart of the teacher, visible in all his relations, warming and lighting in every direction. It is the touch of some Christ like one ; :t \< the breath of ■ the,Spirit upon the truth, brought to the consciousness of one person by another who is a living example, a present power. The Sunday School teacher^ to succeed with hi* pupils, ha3 only to be a success himself. He must be filled with that .which ha seeks to ptiur in If bis anxiety be con fined to the imparting of knowledge, thor ough preparation will suffice. But! if he wish to kindle that love which passes fcndwl ; edge, he must carry a fire in his own bo som. IIis love must go out so evidently toward (jod and toward pupils that it shall be recognised as the mainspring of Ijic tea ching. None are so quick as children to perceive when instruction and entreaty are bestowed frop a mere sense cf duty, Offi cial piety has no influence over them. They dislike cant. They appreciate wholeheart edness. They thrill under the touch of a const crated hand. No story is so charm ing. no exercise so interesting, no sacrifice on t^je part of the teacher so subduing that it can produce more than a temporary ef fect. unless it be charged with that same love which sent Christ into the world and gave him power to redeem it Many may think that this is too simple and well-known a fact to be called a secret, but it is a fact which marks the rise and fail of many in our Sunday School Israel. Love is the touchstone of success—Christian At TForA*. _-_- . Lay up Things in Your Brains Daniel Webster once toM a good anec dote in y speech.

But it will be just in place some time, and then if you don’t have it, you will be like the hunter who had no hall in his rifle when he was met by a deer. ‘Twenty-five years ago my teacher made in a study survey jni&J said a man who had lost his p operty ; *and now'! am glad of it.

The following sixteen essentials..for pro* dnctive farming are from the pen of Geo. Wm Ilichardson : 1. Good implements of -husbandry, and plenty of them, which should always be kept in perfect order. 2 Deep plowing jand thorough pulveri zation of tbs soil by tue use of harrow, drag and roller. 3 Au application of time, marl or ashes, where calcareous matter or potash may not. be present in the soil. 4. A systematic husbandry of every sub stance on-a farm capable of being converted into manure, as systematic a protection of such substances from loss by evaporation or waste of any kind, and a careful application of the same to lauds in culture. 5. The drainage of ali wet lands, so as to - relieve the roots of the plants from the ill effects of a superabundance of water, a con dition equally pernicious.as drought to their healthy growth and profitable fructification 6 The free use of the plow, cultivator and hoe, with all row-cultured crops, so as to keep down 8t all times the growth of grass and I weeds, those pelts which prove so destruc , tivfTto crops. <. seediog at the proper time with good seed, and an equal attention as‘to the period I of working Crops. 8. Attention to the construction of and re pair offences, so that what is made through the toils and “n^ioixs cares of the husband man, may not be lost through his neglect to protect his crops from the depredations j of stock. 9. Daily personal superintendence on the part cf the master ovir all the operations of the farm, no matter how good a manager he . may have', or however faithful his hands may be, as the presence of the head of * farm and the use of bis eyes are worth sev eral pairs of hands. 10. Labor-saving machinery, so that one may render himself as independent as need ful of*neighborhood labor ; as a sense of tbe I comparative indulgence of the employer upon such labor bo'gets a disposition of obe dience and faitbfuluess on the part of the employee. 11. Comfortable stabling and sheds for Imrscs and stock, all the necessary outbuild ings for the accommodation of the hands and protection of the tools and implements, as well as for the eare of the poultry. 12. Clover and ether grasses to form a part of the rotation of crops, UDd these to be at proper periods plowed in to form pab ulum for succeeding crop®. The clover field to be either plastered or ashed each succeeding spring—one bushel of the for mer and six of the latter per acre 1 13r To keep no nrore stock than can be well kept, but be sure to keep as many as can be kept iu good condition, as it is a wise policy to feed as much as possible of the crops grown on the* farm, and thus re turn to it that which has been abstracted from it. 14. To provide a good orchard and gar den ;*one to be filled with choice fruits of all kinds—and other with vegetable of dif ferent sorts, early aud late ; so that the ta ble may at all times be well aud seasonably supplied, and the surplus contribute to^iD crease the wealth of the proprietor. 14 The taking of one qr more good ag ricultural papers 16.
