I lay me down to sleep With little thought or care Whether my waking find Me here, or there, A bowing, burdened head, That only asks to rest, er Unquestioning, upon , A loving breast, ai My good right hand forgets Its cunning now ; T'o march the weary march I know not how. I am not eager, bold, Not strong--all that is past ; I'm ready not to do. At lust, at last, My half day's work is done, And this is all my part; 1 give a patient God My patient heart, And grasp his banner still, Though all the blue be dim These stripes, no less thao stars, Lead after Him, CALL A MAN. A plain, unassuming, bashful young man was John Eldred, living with his motiier on a good farm, left him by his futher who was dead.-- They were in excellent circum- stances, and John was as happy as a well-to-do farmer can be. He was no (fool, either for he had a good library - and read it, too--und gain ed a great deal of useful knowledge. John was good looking, not a hand- some man (for there are none), but a tall, finely formed man. ButJohn bad one failng in my eyes; he was twenty-six years old and not marri- ed. Nor was there any prospect of it happening very soon, for of all the bashful men that ever wore a shirt collar John Eldred wus tho worst.-- The girls in that vicinity were strangers to him, John always avoiding everything that wore a dress, save his mother and sister. John's mother was a quiet, loving wom. who ever had uppermost in her mind the happiness of her child- ren, consequently she bad for some time secretly wished thut Jobn way married. Gertrude, John's sistor was a very pretty young lady, and also shared her mother's wish, but how to bring (it about she could not imagine. In the samo neighborhood lived Judge Clark, who had a daughter named Mabel. Now John had for a long time secretly admired Mabel and although he bad never betrayed it, his sister had guesed his secret, and resolved to bring a match about between the two, but just how to do it she did not know. Lt happened in July, the anoccedote T win now in shape to relate. Ger- trude bad invited a number of girls to a quilting party one afternoon, Mabel among the rest. She told John they were coming and added : 'Now, John, for my sake do, do come in to tea this afternoon. You know all the girls that will bo bere, tnd--' ; ¢ But, Gertrade, that patch of tim= othy by the north wood must be cut and as Jim has gone home to stay over Sanday, L shall have to cut it.' And so, much to Gertrude's cha- grin, ho took the scythe over his shoulder after dinner and started for the patch of timotly. But he ling- ered around the orchard until he saw the plump figure of Mabel Clark comiag, and then, heaving a sigh, started for his work. "The patch of timothy referred to was a new cleared piece of land nearly surrounded by woods, and so full of log piles that it was impos- sible to use the machine. Iere we leave John mowing wud return to the party. It was a very warm day; so the girls moved the chairs outdoors if shade of some large maples, and there they sat, chatting, joking, and lunghiog us only a party of light- hieaded girls can. Meanwhile Jobn had mowed several times across tho patch, and it began to be terribly hot. The sun poured its rays down with great intensity; and the 'thick wood on all sides kept off any breeze that, might be stirring: John was more than lot--he was fitirly boiling and as thirsty as an old toper, 8o John thinking that no one could possibly see him, sat down on # log tind took HE QUEEN'S HOTEL, piece, and was picking out the long grass around an old log pile, when right beside him he saw a pair of blue racers. v WHITBY, ONT.
