With eager and impatient hands, Its clasp I've prest; But weary, fainting, turned away, Again to rest. I cannot trust in simple faith, And calmly wait Till God shall, in his own good time, Enclose my fate. When dusky twilight steals around, 1 dread the night; And at the golden dawn I wake, To fear the light. | I cannot trust the sindling friends That gather near;" And so 1 freeze and stand alone In pride and fear. Each fairy castle I have reared Has fallen too; And in my loneliness I ask- 1s nothing true? It i$ the old, old pain again, That fills my heart; I cannot check The tears that start.

GOING DOWN HILL. *' That looks bad," exclaimed Farmer | | White, with an expressive shake of the | head, as he passed a neglected broken 1 down fence, in one of his daily walks. | "Bad enough," was the reply of his | companion. " Neighbor Thompson appears to be running down hill ;very fast. I can re- member when everything about his place was trim and tidy." | '"He always appeared to be a steady, industrious man," rejoined the second speaker. "I hava a pair of boots on my | have done me good service." "1 have generally employed him for my | family," was the reply, and I must con- | fess that he is a good workman, but never- theless, I believe I shall step into Jack Smith's this morning, and order a pair of boots of which I stand in need. who appear to be running behind hand.-- There is generally some risk in helping those who won't help themselves." { *' Very true, and as my wife desired me to look at a pair of shoes for her this morn- I ing, I will follow your: example and call | on Smith. (He is no great favorite of mine, however, a quarrelsome, idle fellow." "" And yet he seems to be getting along in the world," answered the farmer, *' and | I have an errand at the butcher's, 1 will not detain you." | At the butcher's'they met the neighbor who was the subject of their previous con- | versation. He certainly presented rather a shabby appearance, and his choice of | meat here was the observation of Farmer | White. Passing remarks the poor shoe- | maker left, the butcher opened his book | account with an anxious air, saying as he .| charged the bit of meat: "1 believe it is time neighbor Thomp- son and I came to a settlement. Short accounts make long friends." 'No time to lose, I should say," re- plied the farmer. " Indeed, have you heard of any trouble, neighbor White?" * No, I have heard nothing, but a man has the use of his eyes, you know, and I | evidently going down hill," bill this evening.

"Our account," was the surprised re- | Weeks passed by. The advice of Uncle CHOLERA is reported as scourging Po- ply, *" surely the term has not expired." " Only half of it, but my present rule is to collect money at any time. It's a plan | which many teachers have adopted of late." "1 was not aware that there had been | any change in your rules, and I have made | arrangements to meet your bill at the usual | time. I fear that it will not be in my | power to do so sooner." The countenance of the teacher showed | great disappointment, and as he passed on yin a different direction he muttered to | himself | ""Jygst as I expected, 1 shall never see | a'cent. Everybody says they are golthg {down hill. I must get rid of the sift | sine way. Perhaps I may get a pair jof shoes or two in payment of a half quarter, iif T manage it right, but it will never do | to go on in this way." { A little discomposed by her interview | with the teacher, Mrs. Thompson stepped Janta a neighboring grocery to purchase | some trifling article of family stores. "I have a little account against you, | and would it be convenient for Mr. Thomp- son to settle it this evening!" asked the polite shopkeeper as he produced the de- sired articles. "Is it his usual time fcr settling?" was again the surprised question. " Well, not exactly, but money is very tight just now and I am anxious to get all | that is due me. In future I intend to | keep short accounts. « There is the little bill if you would like to look at it. call around this evening. It is but a very | | | | | | | | | | | | small affair. "" Thirty dollars is no small sum to us | just now," thought Mrs. Thompson as she pursued her way towards home musingly. "It seems strange that all these payments must be met just now while we are strug- gling to recover from the heavy expense of the winter. Her perplexity was increased by finding her husband with two bills in his hand, and a countenance expressive of anxiety and concern. p " Look, Mary," he said as she entered, " here are two unexpected calls for money --one from the doctor, and the other from my last stock. They are both very urgent for- immediate payment, although they have always been willing to wait a few months until I could make arrangements to meet their claims. - But misfortunes never come singly, and if a man gets a little behind hand trouble seems to pour in upon him." "Just so," yeplied the wife; 'the neighbors think We are going down hill, and everyone is ready to give us a push. Here are two more bills fer you, one from the grocer and the other from the teacher." Reply was prevented by a knock at the peared. "The butcher's account as true as I live!" exclaimed the astonished shoemaker. * What is to be done, Mary! So much money to be paid out and so little coming in, for some of my best customers have | left me, although my work has always given satisfacti.n. - If I could only have usual credit aliowed me, I could satisfy these claims, but to meet them now is im- possible, and the acknowledgement of my the downward path." We must do the best we can and trust of his wife as a second knock at the door aroused the fear that a second claimant as about to appear. But the benevolent untenance of Uncle Joshua, a rare but very welcome visitor, presented itself.-- Seating himself in the comfortable chair in his eccentric but friendly manner. "Well, good folks, I understand the world does not go so well with you as for- merly. What is the trouble!" "There need be no trouble!" was the reply, "if men would not try to add to afflictions which the Almighty sees are necessary for us. The winter was a trying one. We met with sickness and misfor- tune, which we endeavour to bear with patience. All would go well, if those around us were not determined to push us in the downward path." "" But there lies the difficulty, friend Thompson. This is a selfish world-- Everybody, at least a great majority, only for number one. If they see a poor neigh- bor going down hill, their very first thought is whether it will effect their own interest, and provided they can secure themselves they care not how soon-he goes to the bot- I will | I cannot understand it." | the dealer in leather of whom I purchased | as much employment as usual, and the | inability would only send us further on | in Providence" was the consoling remark which Mary hastened to hand him, he said | Joshua had been strictly followed, and | | the change in the shoemaker's prospects | was indeed wonderful; he was now spoken | of as one ofthe most thriving men" in the | village, and many marvelous sfories were | | told to account for the sudden alteration | in his affaj { rn nerally agreed thal a distang | relative, bequeathed to hi a legacy, | which had entirely relieved him of his | | pecuniary difficulties. The polite butcher | selected the best piece of meat for his in- | spection, as he entered, and 'was totally | indifferent as to the time of paymert.-- | The teacher accompanied the children | home to tea, and spoke in high terms of | their improvement, pronouncing them | among his best scholars. The dressmaker { very suddenly found herself free from the | great press of work, and in a friendly note | expressed her desire to oblige Mrs. Thomp- son in any way in her power. " Just as I expected," exclaimed Uncle | Joshua, rubbing Lis hands 'exultingly, as | the grateful shoemaker called upon him at | the expiration of six months with the | money he had loaned in the hour of need. " Just as I expected. A strange world! They are ready to push a man up hill when he seems to * ascending, and just as ready to push him down, if they: find his lace turned thet way. In the future, | neighbor Thompson, let everything wear | an air of prosperity, and you will be sure | to prosper." || And with a satisfied air Uncle Joshua placed the money in his pocket-book | ready to meet some other claim upon hig | benevolence, while he, whom he had thus | be-friended, with a cheerful countenance returned to his happy home. | | FAMILY MATTERS. To MAKE THE Tere WHITE.--A mix- | ture of honey, with tlie purest charcoal wil | prove an admirable cleanser.

EXCELLENT REMEDY FOR SPRAINS. --Put the white of an egg into a saucer; keep | stirring it with a piece of alum about the | size of a walnut, until it becomes a thick jelly.

It is foiind that por- tions of dry white paint, which yosisted | the action of ether, benzole, and bisul- chloroform. How to PURIFY Ravcip Larp.--A cor- respondent of Country Gentleman writes: -- " We had some forty pounds of rancid lard, which was valueless as it was.-- Knowing the antiseptic qualities of the chloride of soda, I procured three ounces, which were poured into about a pailful of salt water, and when hot, the lard added. After boiling thoroughly together for an hour or two it was set aside to cool. The ard was taken off when nearly cold, and phide of carbon, are at once dissolved by ! land, where thousands have already died of it.

HENRY ARMSTRONG, a prominent citi- zen of Madison, Ind., came to his death on Friday night under mysterious circum. stances; and it is suspected that during a { quarrel with his wife she shot him. Tue Mixed Claims Commission is only granting to British subjects, for losses in- cugred by the war, a little over a million dollars. This is but an item as an offset to the Geneva award. Gov.

Tag Chicago Tribune asserts that corn is delivered at- railway stations only 150 and 200 miles beyond Chicago, atlb cents; and oats at 8 and 9 cents a bushel; and that wheat sells at a proportionately low price, as prepared with what it brings at Liverpool.

The residents in a small settlement sev- eral miles back of Buckingham Village have been for some weeks past in. conster- nation at the loss of sheep. Night after night the flocks were visited by some blood- thirsty l, and the settlers awoke in killed, eacl'animal bearing the same mark, a small hole below the ear, through which. the lamb was bled to death. Every time a sheep was found dead search' was made for some trace of the animal that had com- mitted the depredation but no track or '. clue could be found. The wound was not like a dog or wolf would make, and a bear would [not only have eaten a large - hole in his victim but would also have left the tracks of hig feet in the mud. The settlers at length found it necessary to fasten their sheep in pens every night to save them. Those who had close houses for their flocks always found them safe in the morning, but others who enclosed their sheep in yards near their houses continued to have their lambs killed. = The mysteri- ous depredations continued for some time, puzzling the settlers, soe of whom attri- buted them to supp tural agenci Last Sunday morning just before dawn, one of the settlers, a German, heard a racket amongst his flock which were pen- ned in a small enclosure alongside of his house. Hastily taken his double barrelled gun from the wall he ¢rept out softly to the corner of the pen'and saw one of his. lambs struggling in the agonies of death in one end of - the enclosure, and two small animals holding a tight 'grip of it by the head and throat. The German "drew a bead" on one of the objects and fired. He heard an unmistakeable '"mew,"and to his astonishment he found on examination the animals that were killing the lambs were two huge cats. The one he had shot was a very large black and white tom, strong enough tu face any dog in the coufftry, and with a comrade like himself to assist him it was no wonder they could easily' master a sheep. --Ottawa Citizen, A CoNerEcaTIONAL CHURCH in Chicago on Sunday contributed $30,000 to pay off their debt.

A New York Judge, who pleaded guilty to'appropriating fines in his own Court, has resigned. his office and been fined six cents. Tue Lennox and Addington Prohibition Society has prepared petitions to be pre- sented to the Ontario Legislature, praying for a law prohibiting the sale of alcoholic liquors in Ontario. Ar Banchory, in Scotland, lately, the parish schoolmaster, out of curiaeity, put the question to the scholars, "What is nothing!" A pause ensved until an urchin, whose proclivities for turning a penny were well-known among his school fellows, got up and replied--" It's when a man asks you-to haud his horse and just says thank ye." IN Arkansas a man was sentenced to be hanged, bit all the carpenters in the neighbourhood refused to build the scaf- fold.
