Grope amid the thousand pathways reaching | to the Great Unknown;

Thou must choose the ways of folly or the |

ehining g pethe of faith — wlike will lead thee downward to the silent stream of death.

All:

When the restless world around the lays its cares upon thy heart,

When its heritage of sorrow bids the anguish- ed tear to start,

When the ebb and flow of passions, and the light and shadc of life

Reach thy soul and wake within thee all the pains of mortal strife ;

When temptation lures the onward, wilt thou then be brave and strong ?

Or wilt thou, in evil moments, listen to the syren’s song?—-

Rainbow hopes that smile and vanish, prom- ised joya that never come,

Only leading weary pilgrims in the wilds of woe to roam.

Will the wandering beams of Folly, like the marsh’s shifting light,

Dazzle thee and iead thee downward to the awful gloom of night ?

Or will Faith’s fair star above thee guide thee in thy tender youth,

Leading thee from doubt and darkness upward into light and truth ?

When the throes of human suffering crush thy soul and ‘rend thy breast ;

When the eyes can get no slumber, and the weary limbs no rest— Will the pangs be rendered painless hy the

thought that thou has trod Closely in the shining footsteps of the sainted sons of God ?

And when o’er thy golden tresses age has shed its silent snows,

Will the dead years yield a fragrance like the dead leaves of the rose ?

Wiil their perfume rise around thee like some melting mystic power,

Making sweet the solemn twilight of life’s sombre gleaming hour ?

Mystic future! veiled in darkness pierced by human eye,

None may know what awful issues in thy silent bosom lie.

Cleave thou to the right sweet dreamer, and when life’s brief day is done,

Thou shalt wear the crown in glory faith on oat hath won,

Auld Scotch Bodie (loquitur)—‘‘ Weel, weel, what wi’ aff-gauns in India an’ on- gauns in Glasga’, I dinna ken what the world’s comin’ tae.”-—Punch.

A teacher, after reading to her scholars a story of a generous child, asked them what generosity was. One little boy raised his hand and said, ‘I know; it’s giving to others what you don’t want yourself,”

An old gentleman of 84, and his bride, aged 82, entered a railway car the other day and took seat by the stove. A youth occupying the seat behind says he overheard the following : : Old gentleman to his bride— en ho’s a ittle lamb?” Bride—‘‘Bofe of us,”

Yesterday the blush ef health was upon her cheek, and the light of a happy spirit | in her eye. ‘To-day, as she sits apart, look- ing as yellow as satlron, and feeling as sul- Jen as a mud turtle, he asks her tenderly what ails her, and she answers, sharply, **Mince pie, you idiot.”

Documents showing that Napoleon III. repeatedly offerec Egypt to England in con- sideration of the occupation of Morocco by France are said by a Paris journal to be forthcoming in printed form.

Don’t.— Don’t speak angrily to a child. Don’t kick a dog when he is asleep. Don’t go back on the friends of your parents. Don’t often visit your neighbors at meal time. Don’t neglect a cough, thinking it will cure itself.

The fiood in Great Britain produced by the sudden thaw is the greatest known for fourteen years. The country around Dar- lington and Lexington is flooded for miles and much damgge- is reported at Berwick and Aberdeen.

A bill will shortly be submitted to the United States Congress having for its ob- ject minority representation in that legisla- tive body. It is proposed inthe draft bill) y that the majority of the voters shall be en- titled to clect two out of three or three out of five. In case a district is entitled to three negate an elector can vote for two candidates, and so on in proportion. The question, which undoubtedly is an im- portant one, will be fully ventilated by

constructed roads through their settlements, |and are now striving to secure the advan- tages of local lines of railways. The Men. nonites settled near the boundary line de- sire to have a railroad built, which would commence from Emersun, thence pass through the Pembina country, and west- ward via Portage la Prairie. They offer to build sixty miles of road for any solvent company, on the line being located and ties and rail supplied. Se The Chinese have a very effective, if somewhat primitive, way of preventing the directors of a savings bank running the in- stitution they control into insolvency. They reckon the president’s head among the assets.

London exults over a rara avis in th shape of a polygot eloeutionist. A young Portuguese lady, by name Malle. Antonini, of a good family in her native land, has been. giving lately, several recitations in private drawing rooms. She has a wonder- ful memory, and declaims in the purest ac- cent in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and English. The latter language she has made her special study. Her Lady Macbeth is said to be admirable in tone, fire end passion. She has a fine voice and a great facial expression.

The great fortune left to the heirs of John Jacob Astor was at the time of his death estimated at $40,000,000, and he was the sixth in the list of the rich men of the world. Baron de Rothschild, the Duke of Devonshire, Sir Robert Peel, and Louis Philip were said to have greater fortunes than Astor. In 1873 the Aster estate was estimated to be worth $90,000,000. At the time of the death of A. T. Stewart, in 1876, his estate was valued at $80,000,000. The richest man living in New York is undoubt- edly W. H. Vanderbilt, who was made the heir to the bulk of the immense fortune of his father.

The true story of the four shares which involved the Duke of Sutherland in the troubles of the City of Glasgow of Bank is said by Mr. Labouchere to “be as followt : Some time since, the Duke’s father owed the Duke some £600, which he was desir- ous of paying [off by transferring to the Duke four shares he held in the City of (Glasgow Bank, and mentioned his intention ‘one day to the agent of the Caledonian at Inverness, who said: Oh, never mind troubling the Duke with them ; we'll take the shares and credit the Duke’s account ;” and this was done. A bad job for the Duke, each share carrying a full liabilit for all the losses of the creditors of the baisk by its failnre !

Tuplin, proprietor of the hotel in which Capt. Koeing, of the brig- antine Corinne, was staying, when the first case was detected. The fact that this case has broken out a month after it was thought the place was thoroughly rid of the disease, has caused great alarm.” It is needless to say that there is no smali-pox in Charlottetown. The case referred to is in Alberton.

Mr. SPURGEON ON WoMEN. id ® most amusing speech at the opening of a bazaar at Norwich, in aid of a female educa: tion in India, Mr. ‘Spurgeon said : “I think there is no one of us but feels that women are a superior part of the race, especially if we are married, for we know then by ex- perience. When I am marrying a young couple I generally tell the young lady to let her husband be the head, for that is ac- cording to Scripture and to nature; but I always advise her to be the neck, and twist him around which way she likes. I believe the practical experience of most of us men is that, though we like to be at the head, though we like the nominal sovereignity, yet we mostly like to be twisted abouta little, and with our full consent, under the supreme rule of the queen of the ‘household® for there we generally find our safety and our happiness.’”” Mr. Spurgeon, in the same speech, related an anecdote of a black man and his wife whom he received in the church at the Metrepolitan Tabernacle.

When the negro came before the church, Mr. Spurgeon said, ‘‘Well, friend, I sup- pose you can speak well of your wife-—she is a Christian woman?” To which the negro made the following remarkable ans- wer: ‘Yes, I believe she is a good woman ;

but even black women are voking some- times.” But they received her into the church,
