"Father,' cud Karl, "we ask each day—
Lord Jesus, come, and be our guest;
This food be bleised,' we say;
'And be thou present at our feast.'
"And yet the Siviour doth not-come,
Although we bid Him every day;
Though oft invited to our home, - -
Ho never comCs at all this way!"
"Be still, nay child; believe His word; •
Ask on, and wait, and be content ,
He doth not scorn our humble board ;.
Nor yet the message we have sent." -
" Well, then," Raid katl , " this chair I Place
For our Lord Jesus, fie our guest ;
Perhaps this very day He'll grace
Our humble home and frugal feast." •
That very eve, 'mid ice and snow •
(The night was dark, the hour was late),
A stranger stood, in want and woe"
And weariness, before the gate.
The stranger knocked ; the opened door. -
Gave light and welconio, warmth of home;
Ho was unknown, for none 'before
Had seen him-go,- or seen him tome. j
The children all throng ruund to Wee,
And Karl tooked on with wondering eyes;
It surely, surely, cannot be
His dear Lord Jesus in disguise !
Each takes his 'facet on every side
The question then arises, " Where.
Shall we a plate for him provide ?"
And each responds; ," The vacant chair!'

No II has sent this lad iusicacl,

Saith my dcai.Lord, "is done to Mel "
I know I was a selfish old idiot,
now, when .I-look around me and
seethe mercies given me in my help
less, old age, feel the warm love
around me on all sides, and . realize
the desolation my own.hand reaehed
Viral to grasp, but I was blind to the
future iu those days when I so nearly
wrecked all its happiness.
This was hOw it happened! After
Martha died—my wife, I mean, with
whom forty happy years of my-life
were spent—and all my Rl4Tren were
dead or -married, excepting Ruth,
there fell uporclue the heavy misfor
tune that chained me to this chair,
or my bed, for fifteen years.
I had been a hard-working man
all my life—a wheelwright' by trade
—with a large family to rear, to
clothe, to feed, to educate, and, all,
me! one by one to bury:in the old
churchyard, till only Mary, James,
and Ruth, our baby, were left to me.
Mary married, and went with her
husband to the far West. James
took his small fortune of a few hard
earned dollars and left us for the
golden hied of promise, California.
Then the. angel of 'death came for
Martha, and only six months later, I
was strickemhelpless with paralysis.
I am reconciled now to my hard
'fate and can sit here happily, glad
that my eyesight 'is still good, my
right hand free, and that I have
learned.in my-old age to love books,
to enjoy reading and eve writing,
as I never .did in the hard-working
days of my youth. But in those
first months of helplessness, when
even to toss and tarn in my nervous
torture was denied me, my sufferings
'ere simply horrible. No agony of
pain, no torture of flesh or bone,
could equal the dreadful pressure
upon my strong limbs, that held me
motionless, dead, in spite of my ef
foOs to Move them one little inch.
I Have filinted with the frightful-ef
forts I have made just to lift once the
feet that had carried me miles in a
day with unwearied ease.
But in that time of rebellious mur
muring, of bitterest repining, there'
was some consolation. First, there
was the house and five acres of land,
my very own, free from debt or mort
gage, and a small sum in the bank,
the interest of which lifted- us above
actual want. Then I had Ruth.
11
She was just twenty when her
mother died, and others beside her
father thought her face the fairest
one for miles around. She had the
bluest eyes; _ like little patches of sum
mer sky, and hair that was the color
of cern-silk, and nestled in little baby
curls allover her head—rebellious
hair, that would never lie straight
under any coaxing, ,but kinked up inf
tangles that were of_ sunlight.'
Her—skin was white as milk, with
cheeks likelthe heart of 'a blush rose,
and her smile
.showed the prettiest
rows of pearly teeth I ever saw. She
coaxed me from my wicked repinings
by coming to me for directions, mak
ing me feel that my-Head was still
needed to direct the work, though
my feet would never more carry me
over the door-sill Then she fitted
up for , me a large back room that
overlooked most of the farm, and
had Silas, our head man, rift me up
every morning and put mein a deep
gushionedchair by the window,where
I. could see the barn, the poultry
yard, the well and the fields of wav
ing corn and wheat. She made me
feel myself of importance by giving
me thus the master-eye over my own
little domain, and she brought up
her own meals to eat with me in the
room where my infirmity held me a
prisoner.
You must understand' what Rath
was to me, or you will never under
stand the simple story I have set my
self to telling your She taught me
to use my right hand without my
left, and if you want to appreciate
the difficulty tie your left arm down
for one single hour, and try how of
it will unconsciously strain at the
cords. She brought me books from
the village library, and opened to my
old eyes and brain a field of pleasure
never before exploded. I had read
my Bible and the newspaper all my
life; but . I never knew even the name
of books, now ray greatest treasares,

LITTLE RUTH,
till Ruth thought " reading would be
company " for me. Little Rath,
even she does not know the world
she peopled for me in her loving care
for my loneliness.
When she was busy at her house
mork, hei. baking, her washing and
her ironing, she left all the doors
standing open, that I might still hear
her cheery voice as she sang or talked
to me. Then, when all her work was
done, she would put a dein white
apron over her black dress, and sit
close beside me, stitching busily on
the_ household - linen, while I read
aloud whatever had most pleased my
morning studies.
She devised little dainty dishes
tempt me to eat ; ,she put saucers 01
flowers on the table that I might
cheat myself into; ftuicying I was out
doors, as their perfume crept out on
the air ; she nuried me, petted me,
loved me, till even my misfortunes
seethed blessings drawing us so near
together. -
And-when she was all the world to
me, all that saved me from . misery,
John Hays asked me to give him my
Ruth for -hill wife. I could have
_ _
struck him dead when he stood be
fore me, .a young giant in strength,
with his handsome, sunburnt bed
gloWing with health, and wanted to
take away my one blessing, my only
home-child. -
"I will be a true son to you, Mr.
Martin," he said earnestly, "I wil
never take Ruth from here ; but le
me come and share her life, and lif
some of the burdens from her shenl
ders."
P laughed bitterly; I 141ew well
what such sharing would 'be when
%Ruth had , a husband, and perhaps
children, to take her time L and love
from me. But I was not harsh. I
did not turn this suitor from my
'hoa r se, and bid him never speak to
Ruth again, much as I longed to do
it. I worked more cautiously. I let
him go from me to Ruth ; and when
he left her, and she came to me, all
rosy blushes, to tell me, with droop
ing lids and moist eyes, of her new
happineso worked upon her love
and her sense or- duty till she ',be
lieved herself a monster of ungrate
ful wickedness to think of leaving one
or taking any divided duty upon her
hands.
I Wept, asking her if she could
face her dead mother after deserting
her helpless father. I pointed out
to her the unceasing round of wifely
duty', that would keep her ,from my
Side, and proved to her that the
duties of child.and wife must clash,
if undertaken under such ciream-
stanCes as were proposed.
The tender-hearted girl 3ielded
to me, and John was tearfully dis
t:hissed. Through the warm autumn
months, when the corn ripened and
was garnered—when our crops were
blessed, and the, littlebank fund was
increased by the price of the farm
produce—Ruth grew very quiet and
subdued. She was not sad, having
always a cheerful word and pleasant
smile for me ; but the pretty rosy=
tint left her face and her round
cheeks, and I no longer heard her
singing at her work. - When I• read
the best passages in the book to her,
I would see her eyes fixed dreamily
on some far-away thought, her work
lying idle, till she woke with a start
at pay fretful questions.
For I grew fretful and trying in
thosei days: I wanted her to give up
woman's dearest hopes and sweetest
affections, and be the same sUnshiny
Ruth' she was before my hand tore
away, her love-ireams. I wanted her
to put away all We loving, tender
ties of wifehood and motherhood,
and pass her life in devotion'at the
armchair of a paralyzed old man.
And when she complied; with gentle,
touching submission, then I wanted
her to be the bright, happy girl who
had resigned nothing, and who could
nurse sweet, girlish fancies, I with
John for a hero. An unreasonable
old tyrant, was n't I?
The winter came in early that year
and before Christmas everything was
frozen up tight, and the cold was in
tense. We piled up coal in the'
stoves, listed doors and windows—
that is, Ruth did the work and I en
joyed the result; but there came ono
cold-- day one Friday — 1 when it
seemed no' coals, nor listing could
conquer the cold. Children froze on
their' way to school that day, and
were' found stiff and stark, leanin7
IMI
against the fences. Food froze on
the tables. Ask anybody in Maine
if they remember that black Friday,
and see if some mother's eyes will
not fill with tears as they think of
the little scarlet-hooded figures'
brought to their doors, white and
rigid, that had lifted rosy, round
cheeks for a kiss only a few short
hourelbefore. ' .
On this cold Friday, Rath hurried
through her work in the morning,
making my room the warmest place
h i
in t l e house, covering my artn-chair
with soft wollens and moving it near

window, for my glimpse of out-door
life was too precious to resign; but I
was not, as usual, near it, for Ruth
said there might be a draught.
When all was done in-doors,l saw
from' my chair . Ruth; with a scarlet
'cloak and hood thrown over her, go
ing-to the well with an empty bucket..
She ;stepped along quickly over the
hard frozen ground, and I was ad
man! the trim little feet and the
d: , y little figure, when I saw her
'del to the two steps that were labove.
the well 'walls and fall. She had
slipped, and she lay doubled up be
tween the two wooden steps and the
rough side of the well, as if she
could not rise. Two or three times
her bands clutched the lower step,
and she raised herself half way up,
only ,to fall back again, as if her
limbs would not support her.
Aid I could only look on, power
less to move to , aid her. Oh, the
agony of it! 'To know she was Wirt,
unable to rise, and I helplesa as a
log. I screamed and called - for help.
Silas' was somewhere, I could not tell
where, and I callendly for him.

as I thought must be heard for miles.!
It was heard. A moment
John Hsys, panting end 'eager-eyed;
burst open my door.
"What mit?" he cried. "I heard
you'calling on the road."
" Ruth—Ruth I" I screamed. "She

He stopped to bear no"more. Out
upon the hard, Slippery ground, down
the steps with swift, rapid strides,
and then I saw him stoop and lift the
little itarlet-cloaked figure in his
stronikrms, and come swiftly back,
bend' his face down over the sense
less on in his arzn, whit& hot tea
rained down his brown cheeks. ,He
put her on a lounge near ) -my chair,
and then dashed out for now. '
"Rub her—rnb herl he said.
" I am going 'for a doctor'and my
mother." -
Before it seemed possible, he could
have crossed. the lots to his home,
his mother was with me, and lifted
Ruth away from the fire to the bed.'
The doctor came, and the two worked
till my heaxt sank with utter hope
lessness before 'the blue eyes opened
again, or the heath flattered thro'
the pale lips: ,
But it did idlest, and Jelin jpined
me in a fervent " Thank God! '
But Rath had broken her leg, - and
we knew she must lie helpless for
many weeks before she could be our ,
active, bright girl again. It was an
appalling truth foi me • tot face,' but
she was not dead, not lying frozen
against, the rough well-curb, and I
could not but feel" thankfulness far,
far above the pain of knowing her
suffering. I was trying to settle.. it
all in ray mind; 'to understand the
doctoi's words, while Mrs. Hays and
the doctor lifted Ruth We her own
room that'opened into mine. They
were away a long time, and ' John sat
beside mo holding my,Land in his,
and comforting no as if I had not
taken the very hope of his life from
him. -
" Don't grieve so," he said gently.
" She will -
" Thanks to you," I said. " Oh,
John, if she gets well, shel iS your's.
Give her your ,strong arin for life,
John, instead of my helplessness. I
see to day where my selfish love has
nearly cost her life !
"Do You mean that?" John asked
with a.little trembling .in' his voice ;
" do you really mean that?"
" I do, indeed. Let me stay here ;
John; I will not be a burden on
your purse,ijor the house ' l and farm
and all I have saved are Ruth's, but
let her give me winit time and love ' '
she can spare from yen." ,
" Gladly," he answered ; " but we,
will not wait till she is well, Mr.
Martin. Let me have Ruth for , my
wife now, to-day !"
" With a broken leg, sick, help- .
Icss ? "
" Does she not need mei the more ?
Give her to me now.",
That he had to wait till the banns
were called in church three times,
though ho came to us that day, car
ing for me with the tenderness of a
son, while his mother nursed Ruth.
They,were alone together as we were,
and they had shut up the 'house and
come to live with us, never to leave
again. For , one morning, propped
ap with pillows, Ruth was dressed
in white by Mrs. Hays, and we had a
wedding in the little room! My chair
,was moved in, and the neighbors
carne from far' and near to bear the
solemb words that made john' arid
Ruth man and wife.
And happiness has shed its true
light upon'our home ever since.
MEN AND WOMEN.—Provirlence. has
so made the sexes that women, like
children, cling to men.; lean upon
! them for protection, care and love ;
look up to them as thoug,h they were
their superior in mind and body.
They make the suns of their system,
and they and their children revolve
around them. Women, therefore,
who have good minds: and' pare
hearts, want men to lean upon. Think
of • their reverencing a drunkard,
fool, a liar or libertine. If a man
would have a woman do him homage,
ho must be manly, in every sense ;
true gentleman,
not after the Ches
terfield school, but polite because his
heart is full of kindness to all ; one
who treats herwith respeekevon defer
ence, because she is a woman • who
never condescends to say silly ihink,s
to her ; who brings her lup to his
level if his mind is above hers ; who
is ambitious to make his mark in the
world: whether she encourages him
or not; and wlio is always; consider
ate, but always keeps his place as the
man at the head, and never losing it:
such deportment, with noble princi
ples, a good mind, energy . and indus
try, will win any Woman in the land
•ho is worth winning.
FLowEns.--Flowers that in all our
gladness, in all - our sorrow, in, all
vents, howevea incongruous, are al
ways appropriate. Appropriate in
the church, as expressive of, its pur
est and most social • themes, and
lending their sweetness with the in
ense of prayer.
_Appropriate in'the
ley of the marriage hour, in the lone
iness of the sick room, and crowning
with, prophecy the foreheads of, the
lead. They give completeness to
fhe association of childhood, and are
jppropriate even by; the side of old
ge, strange _as their freshness con
truth with the wrinkles 1 and the
gray hairs; for still they am suggest

THE Dn Ds.—More than a ious
and years -ago, before Christianity
was introduced into England, the
principal teachers were called Dru
ids. They, were lie,athens, nn carv
ed idols of! wood 'and stone. They
( i
also 'built altars, and even ffered
human sacrifices to their gods. They
made a big cage of wicker-work, in
the shape 9f a man, and, put gall the
personsionnd guilty of stealing Or
murder into it, and burnt there alive.
But, one day in a great battle with
the Romans, they [were defeated., and
themselveS burnt in fhe fires they
had prepared to burn their prisoners.
Before-this time theirl worship had
been chicly carried - on at Stone
henge and similar, places. •' I
The English were Olen trpnbled
by the Picts and Scl4, the inhabi
tants of Seetland; - theyc would sail to
the English coast , , and, having seized
all they -Wanted, Sail back tq Scot
land. At last they begame se trou
blesome th the English asked the
aid of the Saxon pirateS, or sea-kings,
as they called themselves,, who came
and landed" innumbers, on the Eng
lish coasts,' and, having defeated the
Picts and Scots, - turned their arms
against the Britons themselves. Thi--
was long after the Druids built al
tars, some of which, remain to the
present day.

the proprietY of letting you, in was 1
!ming discussed. There are two
things / which will account for thisde- , 1
iay in responding to the door-bell or 1
knocker. One is the condition .1
he family at the time the call is
made. „ • • • /
• If it is in the morning; (which ie
not the proper time to make for Mal
or cere l momus calls,) the duties and
;ores of the household engage the
ttentiOn of the family; and if the
ady of i the house does her own work
Without the assistance of • a maid or
Servant; which; to say the least, - is;
the most democratic and independ,
ent way to do it, she' cannot respond
at once. to the -call. The children
may be in undress, or her own attire ,
may not be arranged in proper form
to receive visitors, or- her hands aml
arms may be in the dough up to Let
elbows l or she may be blacking the
Stove, or doing some necessary work
that prevents her going /at once to l
the door. - Therefore, none but ne-•
cessary calli3 should be made. in the
Morning. If it is afternoon, and the
dinner, things are out of the way, Say,
three o'clock, or after, then there is
less, or ne excuse, for not answering'
the door-bell promptly. 1 -
The ,other reason why the slim
-11,19ns to the door is not responded to
e.t once, is Tiot a good one. And
what its remarkable, is the fact tint
the tardy 'responses are at
houses where no reasonable excuse
em be made. They haye servants
and porters for this very purpose;
but it is not fashionable to open the ,
door at once, Let - Jack• Frost, like
