FINISH THY WORK.
Finish thy work, the time is short;

The night is coming down—till then
Think not of rest.
Yes, finish all thy work, then rest;
Till then rest never;
The rest prepared for thee by God
Is rest forever.
Finish thy work, then wipe thy brow;
Ungird thee from thy toil;
Take breath, and from each weary limb
Shake off the soil.
Finish thy work, then sit thee down
On some celestial bill.
And in its strength reviving air
Take thou thy fiill,
Finish thy work, then go in peace;
LifeX battle fought and won.
Hear frbm the throne the Master's voice,
Well done! well done!"
Finish thy work, then take thy harp,
Give praise to God above;
Sing a new song of mighty joy
And endless love.
Give thanks to him who held thee up

Who made thee faithful unto death,
And crowns thee now!
TALES I SKETCHES
THE DRAB DRESS.
'Brother Fred, I've a favor to ask you.'
And Lita Ross lifted her iaee, with a
beseeching expression, from a b.,quet of
choice flowers, which she held in her small,
jewelled hand
'A favor to ask me Sis?' was the young
mau's reply. 'One would think, from your
serious, troubled countenance, it was the
first you had ever preferred, and you were
! to try an experiment.'
'Well, it is a sort of experiment. Fred;
and before you give me an answer I want
you to think, and not say; 'Oh, yes. yes,'
as you always do, and then not give it
■ anoiher single thought '
•\V ell, here goes then,' answered the
gay handsome young man, dragging ari ot
toman to his sister s feet and seating him
1 se.t ipon it with well assumed gravity.
j 'Your humble servant. And now proceed
! to business, mademoiselle.'
Ihe young girl's face assumed a thor
oughly earnest expression as she clapped
one of her b other's hands in both ot her
own, and said, while the rich color burned
up into her cheeks :
'Fred, it is this: that you will drink no
more wine. I tremble whenever i see you
with a glass to )our lips.'
'W ell, now, Lita, child, can you not
trust me, knowing my entire self command;
j that I have no natural tendency that way;
and that I only occasionally take a social
glass when in the society of my friends.'
'I know it, Fred; 1 know all that, but
your influence is what I fear. There is
; Charles Chester thinks you are a perfect
j pattern of goodness; and as he touched
glasses with you at .Mrs Rearden's, and you
stood and drank together,my heartached,not
i so much for you as for him, knowing that
' he has not the self command you have and
| that he loves to look upon the wine when
it sparkles in the cup.'
•Well, well, Lita, perhaps you are right;
I never looked at it in that way before,'
i said Fred, while his couutenance wore a
| thoughtful expression.
'But., who in the name of common sense,'
| (and now the young roan smiled,) would
have expected that my little fashionable
butterfly sister ever found time tor such
thoughts as these, what with her ribbons.
I roses and laces? Seriously, Lita, I did
not give you credit for being so much of a
woman.'
; 'Thank you for the compliment, Fred.
But now promise me; I shall not be happy
until you do. I have no fears for your
I personal safety in this matter, though I
doubt your moral right to : ndulge in a so
ciul glass merely because Mrs. Grundy
smiles upon the custom; but I fear for
Charles Chester, seeing with what a rel
iah he drinks his glass to the dregs. Prom
ise me, Fred; come, now, do this, if you
| love me.'
And Lita Ross laid her hand beseech
j irigly upon her brother's head.
'Well Lita, this is something of a sacri
fice to ask of me. Why, I should make
myself very conspicuous by refusing a so
cial glass But I don't know but I'll do
it, if you make a corresponding sacrifice
I don't care to be immolated upou the ai
! tar alone.'
'Name it, Fred; and if it is in my power
I will do it gladly.'
And her solt eyes fairly danced with de
light.
'Well, then, Sis, I will promise this
thing if you will do what I aui about to
ask .you I declare I have scarcely the
i heart to, you look so pretty in that blue
silk dress, with its lace trimmings, and
your ear-rings, pin and bracelet of those
tiny pearls, but you must give them up if
j I comply with your request.'
'I will, Fred, I will.'
'And wear a drab dress, without any or
naments.'
'\"es, Fred.'
i 'Next Thursday night make your first

appearance at Mrs. Thurston's. Remem
ber, you will be subject to many remarks
and will look very plain by the side of your
showily dressed companions.'
'I promise. Now, Fred, promise in re
turn that you will then and there comply
witli my request.'
'Your hand, Sis. And row remember,
as lons as you will wear drab, and that
without ornaments, I will refuse a fashion
able glass. Hut you do not know what a
sacrifice you are making. I should not be
surprised were you to retract any day.'
'Well, Fred, we shall see. Aud now a
kiss as a seal of our contract.'
And Lita threw her arms about her
brothers neck and covered his forehead,
brow and lips with a shower of kisses, and
then glided away through the hall, up the
I.' tig oaken stairway to her chamber, where
seating herself, she bowed her head and
ejaculated :
'Thank God, Charl ie Chester may yet be
saved.'
And the tears rained down her fair face;
and when she had again looked up, there
was a subdued, tender light in her eyes,
never there before.
And this was Lita Ro-s, the pot play
thing of the family, the sparkling, fashion
able belle of the season, the coquette, so
accounted. But t! ere was in her heart a
leaf as yet unread by any eye save that of
her Maker, and on it was inscribed her
love for Charlie Chester
'Well, now, who'd have tl ought, it ?'—
Fred exclaimed, as he found himself alone.
I thought I had touched her dearest idol,
and that she could no more deny it to her
sell than she could give up her right hand.
But, she'll do it; I saw it in her eye
Faith, 1 never was so proud of her in uiy
life Ive l lo kel upon her as a mere chit of
a girl; but all at once she stands before rue
a noble and self sacrificing woman. And
she's right about Ch..rlie ChesWr: for,
now I think of it. lie's in danger ot being
drawn into a whirlpool of dissipation !
Strange I've not thought uf that before !
I used to think they had quite a partiality
for each ot l er; but they have outgrown it,
I reckon '
Ilow in it'll we pride ourselves upou our
own discernment, am: yet how widely do
our conclusions sometimes wander Jrom
the real truth
Thursday evening came; Frederick Ross
sat in the drawing room, awaiting the ap
pearanee of Lita There was a lis. lit, rust
ling step, and she stood belore him, with
her soft hair drawn smoothly from
her brow, and confined plainly at the back
ol her pretty head, arid amidst its glossy
abundance were a few sprays of heliotrope,
her dress was a simple drab silk, with low
corsage and short sleeves, relieved by a
tall ot white blonde, while her tiny foot,
with its dainty satin slipper of the same
shade as the dress, laid coquettishly hidden
in the thick, rich carpet.
'Come, Fred, lam ready,'she said. 'Aut
I presentable ?'
'Why, Lita, love ?'
Here he piused. Admiration was writ
ten on every feature of his speaking lai e;
but he adroitly changed the expression,
and concluded with—
'Yes, Lita; presentable, perhaps. But
one would take you at least to be twenty
five. instead of nineteen. Faith, I had no
idea it would aiter you so much ! Come
there is an hour yet; run and put on that
rose-colored crape, and take the fastenings
from your hair, and let it fall in curls about
your shoulders. I hate to see you, my
little Sis, looking so prim. There's an
hour yet, and Bell will assist you. Do it,
now, to please me; there's a good girl.'
Lita's cheek turned crimson and her
eyes tilled with rears. To think that Fred,
her own brother, should tell her 'she look
ed twenty five,' and 'print' at that ! What
would Charlie Chester think of her? For
a moment the temptation was strong upon
her. But she did not yield, for she saw
in her mind's eye Charlie with the wine
cup at his lips; she heard her mother's
voice crying, 'Enter not into temptation !'
as plainly as she heard her whisper it
into his ear as be turned from his cottage
home a tew weeks previous. It was those
words, and the look of gentle sorrow that
filled the mothers eye with tears that first
aroused Lita's fears in regard to Charlie;
and ever since that time she hud watched
him closely. She did not care to betray
her interest in him, as he had avoided her
studiously for more than a year; and, be
sides, she feared to wound him by forcing
upon him the thought that she imagined
him incapable of self control But now
she had devised away in which either of
these contingencies could be avoided.—
And having obtained her brother's consent,
should she yield it up simply to gratify
her love for dress and admiration ? No,
no; she would not. More than that, she
dared not. Laying her hand, in its tiny
kid glove, upon her brother's shoulder,
she said :
•Brothei Fred, I shall go as I am, though
I would gladly consul' your taste and my
own by exchanging this sombre dress tor
the rose colored crape; hut it would not be
right to me; L should despise myself. I
am sorry you are yoing to be uiortiiied at
my appearance. I did not think, before I
came below, that? I look so old and prim.
But of course I do, as you say so.'
'Never mind, Sis; I aui proud of you,
let you look as you will. I should not have
loved you half so well had you meekly
yielded to my request. And now run and
get your hat and cloak, for the carriage
waits lor us at the door.'
Had my readers looked closely into
the eyes of Frederick Ross, they ould
have seen something like a tear glittering
upon his dark lashes, which he hurriedly
wiped away upon his delicately perfumed
handkerchief as Lita turned from him. —
Aud Lita thought he never looked so
lovingly upon her as when he handed her
into the carriage; and then she was quite
sure his bearing was more than usually
proud as he led her to the further end of
the reception room, to present her to Mrs.
Thurston, the lady of the house
'Lita Ross, as I live !' cried the imperi
ous beauty, as she tossed her stately head
•1 wonder what new freak has taken pos
session of her ?'
'Oh, she likes to herself conspicu
ous, cried another lady, carelessly toying
with one of her golden carls. 'See how all
eyes follow her. I should not care to be
in her place. She looks like a quakeress
matron of thirty or thirty five. You will
stand quite a chance of reigning oelle to
night, now that she h: s hidden all her
beauty under a cloud of drab '
Miss .Milford, the young lady addressed,
colored a little at the douhtfui compliment,
and, gathering up her pale blue satin dress,
she sailed stately awav.
'Miss Ross,' said Mrs. Thurston, bending
her gentle face near to Litu's,' vill you give
a key to the mystery that so sorely puzzles
my guests to night—the plainuess of your
dress on this occasion?'
'I cannot present, Mrs Thurston,' re
plied Lita; 'but at some future time I may.
I hope you do not think I have done any
think improper? I have a motive that you
would certainly approve of, if I were at
iiberty to name it.'
And Lita stood blushing through her
smiles at the inquiring face of the lady.
'Oh, no, M iss Ross, nothing improper;
but it seems so different from your own
uirlish self, that tt causes speculation in
the minds of many. But do not let it
trouble you. I think it verv he - miog to
you. this drab or with ,t- bloc tiiiu-
Lli sllolT, x .v. c>aW VuU
so lovely as to night, though not so briiltant
as your wont'
'O, Mrs. Thurston, you do riot mem it;
lam sure lam looking very plain Broth
er bred said, before 1 left home, I looked
twenty five, and so very prim, and I have
felt as if it were true all the evening. It
must he j'our partiality for me, Mrs. Thurs
ton — indeed it must.'
'Not at all, Lita; I am quite serious in
iri my opinion, and I have heard others
say the same.'
'Lita Ross is Lita Ross, dress her as you
may,' said a light hearted girl, as she stood
talking to her companions. 'Just see her
as she stands there with the light falling
around her soft drab dress; but she looks
pretrier to-night than ever,' continued the
unselfish girl.
'Look, Harry.'
'Yes, Lizzie, there are few faces like Lita
Ross, —prettier without adornments than
with. I know of but one other like it in
this whole assembly.'
And the little white hand of Lizzie was
tenderly pressed by the young man, while
a soft blush stole over the fair brow of
sweet tempered Lizzie Gray, as they min
gled with the crowd.
The supper saloon was thrown open, and
the tables, laid with silver and cut glass,
supporting all the choice luxuries of the
season, presented a dazzling spectacle,
under the multitude of gas jets from the
rich burners, while the long polished side
hoards were supplied with the richest
wines, reflecting a prismatic color.
'Miss Ross, what can I help you to?' in
quired the gentleman who had escorted
Lita to the table.
But for a moment Lita was quite oblivi
ous. Site was thinking of her brother's
promise, and wondering what effect it
would have upon Charlie Chester.
The ladies had withdrawn from the sup
per room; but still the gentlemen lingered,
or returned after having escorted their
fair companions from the saloon.
'Fred—Fred Ross—here tike this seat
by me, and while we sip our wine we will
have a chat.'
'Well, I have no objection to the chat,
but the wine I must refuse.'
'Fred Ross is a temperance man; he has
signed the pledge! Three cheers for
Fred Ross!'
Charlie Chester had in his hand a second
glass, and just as he was about to drain its
contents the words of Frank Leland fell
upon his ears. He turned pale, and stood
looking at Fred Ross, who sat smiling com
posedly upon his boisterous companions.
'Yes, just so; a temperance tuan, if you
like it. I've signed a pledge, too, and it
is useless to ask me more, tor 1 am bound
to keep it faithfully.'
Lita Ross had stationed herself near the
folding door, and not only had she seen
all that had taken place at the sideboard,
but not a word had passed that had not
reached her ear. With a heart filled with
happiness, she turned away, and at that
moment would not have exchanged, for
the richest dress around, her own simple
drab.
ECUSZFknsjr
Several weeks wore away, yet Lita was
uever seen iu public with anything but
sombre drab
'lt is ridiculous in a child of her years,'
said a lady, as Lita entered a large dry
gods establishment; 'perfectly ridiculous.
I suppose she thinks it will pass for eccen
tricity. But it is not; it is downright folly.
If she was uiy girl, Fd shut her up in the
house, and teed her t n bread and water,
before I'd see her make such a simpleton
of herself. Only see that drab bonnet,
with its white rush aud strings, and the
cape, quite suitable for her grandmother '
'I heard her called one of the very finest
dressed ladies on the street, to day. by a
gentleman from Europe,' replied the clerk;
'and he expressed a desire to obtain an in
troduction to her.'
'Ah, indeed,' said she, tossing her head
'Show me some more lilac mories.'
'Frederick Ross,' said Charlie Chester,
drawing Fred's arm within his own, as they
left the crowd who thronged Mrs. Gran
v.lie's musical assemblies, 'will yon walk
with me.' I've something to say to you —a
few questions to ask, it you" will not deem
it impertinent in uie to do so.'
i Frederick readily acceded to hia request;
and no sooner were they alone than Char
lie Chester said :
'Perhaps you will think it strange, hut I
am anxious to know why you sc suddenly
lelt off your habit of taking a fashionable
glass. It alarmed me. I said, whenever
I saw you turn from me, 'is it possible he
fears to trust himself, or what has wrought
this change in hint?'
'Yes, Charlie, I will tell you,'was the
ready reply.
And then lie proceded to tell him the
circumstances that led to this change in
his habits, omitting to relate that his name
was particularly mentioned as the one over
whom Lita especially feared the influence
ot her brother's example.
'Y our sister is an angel of goodness,
Fred; you may well be proud of. and wor
ship her. If more ladies would take the
stand she has done, young men would have
higher inducem rits to break from fashion
able follies; but, instead of that, they
.-Uiiie upon a custom which 'dear, delight
ed Mrs Grundy' sanctions, and give tho
cold shoulder to one who has the indepen
dence to assert and carry out his own honest
intentions. You. wi \;r :r wealth, are an
exception. Aud yet I'm resolved to fol
low your example; and, whenever tempta
tion is strong upou me, I will look upon
Lita in her dark drab dress, and call to
mind the sacrifice she has made; not so
much from fear that her brother might
fall a prey to the wine cup, but lest others,
who have not so much self-control, might
take encouragement i'rotu your example.'
After a few minutes spent in discussing
the subject, the two friends parted; and
when Fred related the circumstance to
Lita, after expressing her satisfaction, she
stole away to her chamber, as was her wont,
to give vent to the gratitude ut her heart;
and an earnest petitiuu ascended to heaveu
that Charlie Chester might have strength
imparted to remain true to his vow.
•Well, Lita, so this rich, talented, and
handsome European, who sued so earnestly
for this little white hand, has shared the
same fate with your many suitors. You
are an enigma, Sis, and I am afraid if I do
not exert my authority you will never
many.
'I am sure I shall not, Fred, unless my
heart goes with my hand,' and Lita smiled
a quiet smile as she looked up from her
sewing. 'Now, don't you leave me with
such a sober face, for 1 assuteyou ihatl'm
happy as I am.'
'I doubt it, Sis,' was the laughing rejoin
der, as Fred closed the door and went
through the hall humming a snatch cf a
sentimental song.
Two years hud flown by, and still Charlie
Chester kept his vow inviolate. Lita had
watched him narrowly, and every day in
her heart she thanked Go I that it was so;
and yet to have seen them ncwone would
have imagined that they had even the
slightest feeling in common.
Lita sat alone in the back parlor of her
home, thinking of the past; of the happy
hours she had spent with Charlie Chester
when she was a mere child; wondering why
he avoided her so studiously of late, when
she was roused by a tap at the door, and
before her stood the object of her thoughts.
With heightened colored and an embarras
sed air she welcomed him, wondering at
bis unceremonious call. A few moments
of silence followed his entrance, and then
Charlie Chester drew his seat near her and
said:
•Lita, Lita, my early playmate, by boy
hood s iove, now that 1 know and can trust
myself, will you entrust your life, your
happiness, to my keeping? I owe to you
all that I have, all that I am. It was
through your influence that I abandoned
the wioe cup just in time to save me from
an iuebriate's grave. O, Lita, what do I
not owe you? And yet this very fact en
courages me to ask for more. Say, will you
become my wife?'
The small hand he held ne9tled more
confidently in his, the brown eyes lifted to
his face, with so much of truthful love in
them, answered him.
And she told him of all the long years
bis image had been hidden in her heart; of
har fears for his safety when she saw him
WW-IFSTj

Series—Vol. XVIII. No. 40.
with the wine cup pressed to his lips, and
c>t her resolve to save him, and the conse
quent adoption of her drab dress.
'And it was for my sake, and minealone,
tliat you were led to this sacrifice ! And
yet you did uot know half my danger. I
loved wine; my thirst for it was becoming
uioie intense, and only a few months lon
ger would have placed me beyond the
reach of aid. But you were 'the good
angel commissioned by God, to save me '
Lita is now a happy wife and a mother;
but she still maintains her plain style of
dress. She wore a drab dress on her bri
dal day; and as she passes along the street
she is pointed out as 'the lady in drab.'
But many there are who kuow not the
story connected with it, nor that her hus
band will not hear of her changing it for
any other color; for to him no dress i 3 so
beautiful as her DRAB DRESS.

f'ontentment —All a man's wealth or
poverty is within himself; it is not the out
ward abundauc . or want that can mako a
difference. Let a man be ever so rich in
estate, yet if his heart be not satisfied, but
he is still scraping and pining for more,
that man is miserably poor; all his bags
cannot make him otherwise than a mere
beggar. On the other side give me a man
ol small means, whose mind is thoroughly
content with his iittie, and enjoys it with a
quiet and thankful heart—that man is
exceedingly rich; all the world cannot rob
him of his wealth. It is not having, by
which we can measure riches, but enjoy
ing. Oh, my soul, be not thou carried
away with the popular error— to covet and
admire those things which have no true
worth in themselves ! Oh, God, give me
to covet that my mind may be rich in
knowledge, that my soul may be rich in
grace, that my heart may be rich in true
contentment.— Bishop Hall.
The Unhuricd Dead. —There are many
people in the world who are not yet buried.
There are thousands who have been dead
many years, and do not know it. When
a man's heart is cold and indifferent about
religion; when his uauds are never employ
ed in doing God's work; when his feet are
never familiar with his ways; when his
tongue is seldom used in prayer and praise,
when his ears arc deaf to the voice of
Christ in the gospel; when his eyes are
blind to the beauty of heaven ; when
his mind is full of the world, and has no
room nor time for spiritual things; then a
man is dead.— Ryle.
Influence of a Holy Life. —There is an
energy of moral suasion in a good man's
tile, passing the highest efforts of the ora
tor's genius. The seen but silent beauty
of holiness speaks more eloquently of God
and duty than the tongues of men end an
gels. Christianity itself owes by tar the
greater part of its moral power, to the pre
cepts and parables of Jesus Christ, and to
his own character. The beauty of that
holiness, which is enshrined in the four
biographies of the Man of Nazareth, has
done more, and will do more to regenerate
the world than all the other agencies put
together. It hab done more to spread his
religion in the world than all that has ev
er been preached or writteu on the eviden
ces of Christianity.— Chalmers.
Early Piety. —Early piety is the most
beautiful spectacle in the world. Religion
above every other acquisition, enriches and
adorns the mind of man; and it is especial
ly congenial with the natural susceptibili
ties of the youthful mind. The vivacity
and versatility of youth, the tenderness
and ardor of the affections in this age, ex
hibit piety to the best advantage. How
delightful it is to see the bosoms of the
young swelling with the lively emotions of
