‘ And a conscious confidence of bliss, ‘That shall never again remove, — All the faith and hope of journeying years Gather’d wp in that look of love. ‘The long waiting days are over, They ve received their wages now ; for they’ve gazed upon their Master, And his name is on their brow,

They've seen the safely garnered sheaves, And the song has been passing sweet Which welcomed the last m-coming one,

Laid down at their Saviour’s feet. Ah ! well does his heart remember.

‘As those notes of praise swept by, The yearning, plaintive music

Of earth’s sadder minstrelsy.

And well does he know each band, — As he looks on the joyous chequered tale, All the lights and shadows that cross’d their ath In the distant pilgrim land ! The heart’s unbroken anguish, The bitter sighs and tears, The long, long hours of watching, ‘The changetul hopes and fears.

One had climb’d the rugged mountain side, } "Twas a bleak and wintry day,

The tempest had scatter’d his precious sced, And he wept as he turned away.

But a stranger Land had water’d That seed on a distant shore,

And the laborers now are meeting Who had never met before.

And one—he had toil’d amid burning sands When the scorching sun was high ; He had grasp’d the plough with a fever'd hand, And then laid him down to die ; But another, and yet another Had fill’d that deserted field, Nor vainly the seed they scatter’d Where a brother’s hand had till’d.

Some with eager step went boldly forth, Broadcasting over the land,

Some water’d the scarcely budding glade With a tender and gentle hand. ;

There’s one—her young life was blighted By the withering touch of woe ;

Her days were sad and lonely, And she never wenth forth to sow.

But there rose from her lowly couch of pain The fervent, pleading prayer ; She looks on many a radiant brow, And she read the answer there ! Yes | sowers and reapers are meeting, - A goodly host they come ! Will you join the echoing chorus ? ‘Tis the song of the ‘‘Harvest Home !” —*C, P.,” in Able to Save.

Fast men, like fast rivers, are very apt to be shallow.

Talleyrand, speaking of a well-known lady said, emphatically, ‘‘She is insufferable !” Then, as if relenting, he added, ‘* But that it her only fauit.”

Some deople who say they can worship as well in one place as im another, go into the country on Sunday, and by-and-by tind them- selves it the end of a fish pole.

It cast a gloom over an entire church fair the other night when the minister’s son walked up to the grab bag and prize-cake table, and demanded that the game be explained to him before he bought his chips.

A lecturer, addressing a Hampshire audience -eontended with tiresome prolixity, that ‘‘ Art could not improve nature,” until one of the audience, losing all patience, set the room in a roar by exclaiming, ‘‘ How would you look without your wig.

A professor was expostulating with a stu dent for his idleness, when the latter said, ‘It’s of no use; I was cut out out for a loaf er.” ‘' Well,” declared the professor survey ing the student critically, ‘‘ whoever cut you out understood his business.”

The Real Thing this Time.—-The Inventor e' the telphone, te is rumored, at work upon a new inztrument. can be applied to street organs, hurdy-gurdies, German bands. and pianos out of tune. It will collect the sounds and convey them noise- lessly away to commons and other waste places, or out to sea, and there the chiedioadita mu- sic will disperse harmlessly. This it a better idea than the telphone, and as soon as the in- ventor can get it to work he ought to lecure a

A minister of Crail had been long annoyed by the drowsy propensities in a church of a farmer, one of his parishoners, one ‘‘ David Cowan in Troustrie,’ and, remonstrating on the subject, had his patience won by two cartg loads of coals, which the offender engaged to drive to the manse door. Nevertheless a few Sundays afterward, Mr, Cowan, soon after the commencement of the sermon fell into a sound aleep as formerly; made so much noise as to dis- turb not only the sitters near him but the min- later, The latter bore it for a long time, but at last being unable to bear it any longer, de- sired the people in the north loft to * wanken

liberal manner in which they have patron | ized

OUR NEW STUDIO,

we would inform them that we have now increased facilities for the production of first-cluss work, and are prepared to make Puoroanarus of a Slyle and Qualily that has never been before ailempted in Wiis Cily.

We have on exhibition, at our RKooms, a large number of Photograps «f every variety, including the

BEAUTIFUL PHOTO - ENAMEL

he most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a sofiness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popular elsewhere, and cannot fail to be- come so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct alten- tion to the beautiful

Gilaee Pietures

which we make. They possess a highly enamelied surface, and are practically indes- tructible, and will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they wil! not lose any of their beauty by ine —wet——Phis- vatisble quality, coi bined with their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming s0 common as to lessen their value. Our patrons cav have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere.

We give special attention to making Groups of Families, Societies, Schools, &

Our pictures ef children are suflicient evidence of our success in this difficult branch of our art.

Our *NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Crzyon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a favorable reputation for them: selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our cu;tomers makes some delay iv the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sitters come by appointment.

Photographs can be obtained for less money elsewhere ; but in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring the public that they will flad our charges very moderate.
