PsaALM LXL, 2.
When the mountains of doubt hem me in on each side,
And waves of affliction roll in like a tice ;
When vainly I seek some new pathway to try,
Oh! lead to the rock that is higher than 1!
When storms of deep trouble rage fiercely around,
When forebodings of ill in my spirit abound ;
Wher the hopes of a lifetime are blighted and
die, Oh! lead to the rock that is higher than I!
When dark clouds of sorrow my pathway o er- shade,
When the flow’rs of earth’s happiness wither and fade ;
‘My father,” my heart in its sadness would
cry, “Oh! lead me to the rock that is higher than a
The night of bereavement may darken my way,
And friends loved and trusted be taken away,
When tempted to utter the questioning oe Why
Oh! lead me to the rock that is higher than I!
The sun of prosperity brightly may shine,
And my heart, round its treasures, too closely may twine. S
When my hopes are in danger of rising too high,
Oh! lead me to the rock that is higher than I
When I’m near the shore of the River of Death, And the moments fly swiftly with each labored breath ; When I’m losing hold of each dear earthly tie Oh! lead to the rock that is higher than L!
Whatever my lot, be it wearily sad,
Or actively busy, or joyously glad,
In each joy aad sorrow, my God, be thou nigh, And lead to the rock that is nigher than L!
THE WIDO
(Continued. )
She sat there, thinking of those disap- pointients, and wondering, ina dull way, what she should do in the future.
‘T’}] clear the shop-windows,’ she gaid,‘and put upa tin sign for plain sowing, or tine washing, I should like washing best. Woulden’t that be a bitter pill for the aristocratic Grants! At any rate, I believe I could earn my living that way, and now [ am getting in debt every day.’
Just as Mrs. Grant arrived at this disagreebie conclusion, the shop bell rang.
‘Somebody for a yard of five-cent ribbon,’ she muttered, going languidly to the door and opening it.
A bright, sweet-faced girl of twelve years or thereabouts, came in and asked for a straw hat. While the milliner showed her assortment the child ex- plained that she also wanted a bonnet made for their baby, little Sally.
‘She’s two years old,’ added the cus- tomer, ‘and I want something suitable.’
‘Why don’t your mother come and bring little Sally?’ asked Mrs. Grant.
‘We haven't any mamma; at least, not here in this world. She died two years ago when baby was born.’
‘And who keeps house for you ?
‘] do,’ answered the child quite
——
simply.
"You ?
‘Yes. Papa is too poor to hire a housekeeper. Aunty Baker, mamma's
sister, wants him to break up, and let her have the baby; but papa and I
Baby Sally, humming a tune as she worked.
Her thoughts were busy with the lonely and its sad history; with the young soldier, the sorrowing wife, and the patient, brave young housekeeper playing mother so sweetly, and loving her father with such simple reverence.
‘Life is not alla sham,’ she said. ‘There are true hearts, noble and un- seltish. God is still with us in human love. and in the beautiful world that He has created.’
The slanting rays of the sun fell into her room, a robin sang outside in the elm, a pot of roses blossomed in her window, and she knew that crocuxcs and violets were awakened from their death-like sleep in the bosom of the ear th.
The old ladies’ caps were not taken down that night. Indeed, they had changed their appearance and seemed tosmile benevolently ; and in the early evening a veritable old lady came In and bought one, paying a good price.
She expected company Decoration Day, she remarked, ‘ anc wanted to smart up a little.’ It was a neat, taste- ful head dress, and other old ladies, secing it, eame fer more. The tide seemed to be setting with a faint, yot perceptible motion, toward the neglect- ed shop.
Mary Grant tock courage.
‘Twill have an opening,’ she said, one bright, electric May morning. ‘T will make the prettiest things | can think of, if it takes my last cent to buy material. And it will, 1 am sure of that. Never mind, there is still the fine washing left.’
So she went out and bought silk and
Uo.
When she got home with her pur-| chase she had tweoty-five cents in her’ purse. Her rent was paid for a quarter in advance, and she could live on eggs and mush, with an occasional roast po- tato. So she was secure against home- lessness und starvation fora short time at least.
Her delicate fingers flew, and dainty fabrics grew beneath them. She was full of inspiration for her work, and in a short time the little shop-window was full of fresh, artistic designs.
She smiled when she thought of her past discouragement, and attributed all her new courage to the advent of Ruth and the making of Sally’s Normandy cap.
In some way it ‘got out’ in Allao- dale that Mrs. Grant had beautiful new styles. Minnie Ferguson, the rich manufacturer’s daughter, heard this rumor, and rode thither in her carriage. The sight of that carriage acted like magic. As many as half a dozen young ladies who saw it, visited the shop the very next day. The pretty spring bonnets went off like hot cakes. (Conclusion in our next. )
can’t bear to, and so l’m housekeeping, and papa helps me. Aunty says it is ridiculous; but we would rather have our owo home —wouldn’t you, ma’am ?’
‘Indeed I should my dear.’ answered the widow, her eyes glistening.
‘You see,’ said the girl, growing quite contidentia! in Mary Grant’s sym- pathetic atmosphere, “my pupa’s a minister. He preaches at Hunt's Cor- ner. His church is small and and they don’t pay him much.’
‘And there’s nobody at home but you and papa and baby?
‘No. We had Harry once, but he went to war. Papa thinks mamma was never so well afterthat. He thinks if Harry had staid at home mamma have lived. You see she used to lie awake nights and think about him, and she cried so hard whenever she heard of a battle.’
‘And Harry was killed at last ?’
‘Yes, at Fredericksburg. He was very badly wounded there. Papa went to him; he died the same day, and papa brought him home. Poor Har-
ry!’
“So that is the Harry whose grave | saw, thought the widow, as she laid her hand tenderly on the child’s head, and kissed her cheek.
‘Now I must go,’ said the little mother. ‘Papa will like this hat, I think; and you will have baby’s bon- net by Saturday, won't you ?’
‘Yes. dear. But you must tell me your name before you go.’
‘Rath Fredericks. Papais Reverend Henry Fredericks. I wish you could come and hear him preach. I think his sermons are beautiful, and mamma used to think so too.’
Ruth went away, and the millinor stood in the door looking after her, and smiling at her sweet naivette.
The status of Mary Grant's affairs were not changed when she went back inte the little shop, but somehow her heart was lighter, bhi spirit more ho ful. Sho selected some silk and lace

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.
There never has been a time whoa the heal- ing of so many dilferent diseases has deen eaused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.
Dr. MELVIN’s Carsicum Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action. and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physiciansin all ages have thoronghly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan-
es in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. Metvin’s CApsicumM Porous PLASTeRS, and their supeviority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases a3 have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want ace*tain cure. ask your druggist for dR. MELVIN'’S CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful ana quick in its action, you can rely on its safety fo: the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will s°U hundreds to your friends.
Ask your druggist for Dr. MeLvrx’s CApst- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
