When the king of the sits on the crag the wings are spread the eagles in the eyrie, and when starts from the rock the shadow is like the spreading of a storm cloud. Ro the wings of God are broad wings. Roth had under those wings in her Infantile days, In the days of her Lappy girlhood in Moab; in fhe day when she gave her hand to Mahlon, in her first marriage; in the day whon she over his grave; in the day when she trudged out into the wilderness of poverty; in an when she plucked up the few straws of barley droppec in the way of the poor.

Meanwhile, the birds in the nest shiver and complain and eall and wonder why the mother does not come back, Ah, she has gone for food. After a while there is a whirr of wings and the mother bird stands on the edge of the nest, and the little ones open their mouths, and the food in dropped in; and then the gid bird spreads out her feathers and all iq peste, on Ged leaves us, He goes oif to get for our soul, and thon He comes back af a while tothe nest and says, ‘“Open thy mduth wide and I will fill i8™ and He 4 foto it the syvat of His grace, the love of God is abroad and we under His wi “fond of the fzhty. are very 1 There is room nnd wings for the sixteen hundred millions of the race.

All the instruments of huiuuua activity are at white heat, and those who use them have all the fibres of their being at full stretch. Never ean we use the mind aright when it is under the influence of the spirit of restless anxiety. Under proper conditions “labor is ret,” and “the labor we delight in” even “physics pain,” but such econdi- tions are not common nowadays. In the very recreation of the time, there is no exemption from this spirit of rest- lessness, for the pleasure seckers seem full of those impatient wishes that never find repose, and they appear dis- tressed by cravings that never give them a moment of peace. Well indeed might the poet of the Sierras feel con- strained to exclaim. O' tempest-tossed sea of white bosoms! 0! breasts with demands and desires! O1 hearts filled of fevers and fires, teaching forth from the jangible blossoms, Reaching far for impossible things!

But this possession my be exorcised by steady restraint, even by such as Milton had in mind when he said, “The work under labor grows luxurious by restraint.” Indeed, just as anxious irritablity is a token of weakness, so calm and steady restraint is an indisputable sign of power, How few there are who study to be quiet, who allow what an old writer onlled “'silken rest” to tie up all their cares, and who become possessors of that sweet delight that tranquil hours afford! Of course, most people agree with the wise bishop who said that it was better to wear out than to rust out; but the majority of folks wear them- selves out with anxiety about work rather than in the doing of it; and so, the mind never being at ease, the fore- head shows ere long what Wendell Holmes charsoteristioally styled the “prints of worrying cares.” oy have been 80 busy with business connections, that all higher relationships and at tachments have been ignored or ne- ected.

BY H., ¥, WURDEMANN, M, D, Troubles of the eye are very common and numerous, and yet for many of them the simplest remedies can be ap- plied with the most salutary results. When einders or other foreign bodies get into the eye, do not drop in a flax- seed or use a key—for these do more damage than the cinder. It might be almost as well to get a crowbar at once, as to use a key, The proper way to get a cinder out of the eye, is to draw the upper lid down over the lower, utilizing the lashes of the lower as a broom, that it may sweep the surface of the former and thus get rid of the intruder. Or, gently drawing the lid away from the globe, pass a clean camel's-hair brush—or foid of a soft silk bhandkerchief—two or three times between them. This procedure are necessary.

A wonderful discovery has been al tracting the attention of scientists, A beam of sunlightis made to pas through a prism so as to produce the solar spectrum or rainbow. A disk, having slits or openings out in it, is made to revolve, and the ovlored light of the rainbow is made to break through it and fall on the silk, wool or other material contained in a glass ves- sel. As the colored lights fall upon it sounds will be given by the different parts of the spectrum and there will be silence in other If the vessel contains red worsted and the green light flashes upon it, loud sounds will be given. feoble sounds will be heard when the red and blue parts of the rainbow fall upon the vessel, and other colors make no sound at all, I IO A LAA.
