THE WEB:OP.-LIFE,
Like the blind spinner, in the Sun
-4 I-tress:lmi days;
know that, all the tbreadewill, run
-'Appointed ways;
I. know each day will bring its task,
And, being blind, no more.' ask.
I do not know the use or name .
O 1 that .1 spin;
I only, know that some one came
And laid within „ •
My hand the thread, and said "since you
Are blind; but one thing you can do."'
Sometimes the threads, so rough and fast
And tangled fly;
I know wild storms are sweeping pe st
And fear that I •
Shall fall; but dare not try to find
A safe place, since I am blind.
I know not why but I 111)2 sure
That tint and place,
In some , great fabric to endure
Past time and race, .
My threads: will have; so from the first,
Though blind, I never felt accursed.
I think perhaps, this trust has sprung
From one short word,
Said over me when I was young—
So young I heard
If s knowing not that God's name signed
My browand sealed me His, though blind.
But whether this be seal or sign,
Within, without,
It matters not; the Lord is mine
never doubt
I know He sent mehere, and still,
And glad, and blind, I wait His will.
But listen, listen, day by day,
To hear their tread
Who bear.the finished web away
• And ettt the thread.
And bring God's message in the sun,
"Thou. poor, blind spiuner, work is done."
THE POPULAR HYMN WRITERS.
..It is a remarkable tact that, notwithstanding
allthe industry of the hymn writers of the
present century, every hymn book is still com
posed, in very large proportion, of hymns
written prior to 1800. Indeed, but for Watts,
- and Doddridge,, who lived further back, we
might celebrate at this time the centennial of
* hymnology, as it was just one hundred years
•ago that the Wesleys, Newton, Cowper, To
plady, and many others, were writing the
hymns which, with Dr. Watts', make up the
bulk of the matter in the hymn books of to
day. Charles Wesley was the most , prolific and .
Watts the most popular hymn writer that over
lived. The former wrote no less than 7,000
hymns; the latter nearly 700, and it is estima
' ted that two-fifths of all the hymns sung during
the last century have been Watts'. To CAUL
logne eTen they best known of them would - fill
a coludn ; perhaps as great favorites as an'y
are, "When 1 can -Read-Idy Title Clear:' "JO.
sus Shall Reign Where'er-the Bun," "Come, Ho
ly Spirit, Heavenly Dope," "There is a Land of .
pure Delight," and thatfine ascription of praise
"From All that.Dviell Beneath the Skies." The
first hymn that he wrote, when merely a boy, is
still sung frequently, "Behold the Glories of the
Lamb 1" Notwithstanding his great popular
ity Watts made no pretentious to the art of po
esy, and it must be confessed that some of his
. verses would not bear very fastidious criticisms.
He wrote one hymn beginning, ' "Now by the
bowels of my God," and another, which start
ed olt in this funny way : : , "
Raise thee, my soul, fly un and run
-Through every heavenly street,
And say there's naught below the sun .
• That's worthtof thy feet.
Charles Wesley wrote on almost. eyery. con
. ceiiable subject, 'and the thirteen .yolumes of
his poetical works include hymnsT"On the Re
covery of a Child -from small-pox," "For a :wo
man about to be in Travail," and other singu.
lar themes. Of tourse,writing so much, it was
to be expected' that he , would sometimes write
nnworthily; hut his brother Joim . (the founder
of Methodism), with ei ent taste, selected
those of - his 'hymns - wort to live, and his
judgaitifit his, in the . Main,. eee - ived the sane
tiort of: a century. Charles begin hymn writ
ing at 29, and . continued •Incessantly till his
death in his 80th year.. it is a little singuliir
that at jhe age Of 40 he should have written
these words of prophecy :
And have I measured half my days,
'And half my journey run.?
Some one of the hymns which will make his
name immktal - were - the inspiration of a mo
ment. lie wrote "Jesus, Lover oiSoul,'
in_ a spring -house, where he had fled for refuge
rout - a 1n617, and these .circumstances explain
some.ofthe figures °lit. Other hymns of his
were colored by circumstances, and some of Ins
trial -andtribulations, as - when he says:
Into a world of radians sent,
,I walk on hostile grotmd; ; •
While human bears, on slaughter bent,
And , ravenintwolves abound.

Sunday is God's special present to the work'
'lnman, and one of his chief objects is to pro
long life, and preserve efficient his working
tone. • In the vital system it workelike.4:,.txim
pentiation pound; it replenishes the spirit, the
elaiticity and vigor, which, the list six days
hive drained away,and supplies the force which ,
is to fill the six days succeeding; and in the
economy of existence it answers the Same pur
pose as the. economy of income is answered by
a savings bank. The frugal inan who puts
away a dollar to-day and another dollar next
month, and'thue in a quiet way is putting by
his stated dollar from time.- to time,_ when he
grows old and frail gets not only the same dol
lar back again, but a good many dollarit beside.
And the conscientious man who httsbands one
day of his existence- every week—who instead
Of allowing Stinday to - be trampled and torn in
the hurry and'scramble of life treasures it up—
the tord of Sunday keeps it for and in
length of days the hale oftige gives it back with
usury. Thesavings bank of human existence
is the , weekly Sunday.

PHYSICAL BENEFIT OF SUNDAY.
RICH WITHOUT MONEY.
Many a man is rich without money: Thou
sands of men without nothing in their pockets,
are *h. A man born With a good, sound con. :
stitition, a pod stomach, a. good heart and
goods limbs ; and a pretty , good headpiece is
rich., Good bones are better than gold ; tough
muscles than silver'; and nerves that flash fire
and carry energy to every function are better
than houses and lands. It is better than a
landed estate to have the right kind of father.
and mother. Good breeds and bad breeds ex
ist among ilea as really as among herbs and
horses. Education way do much to-check evil
tendencies or to develope good ones ; but - it is
a great thing to inherit the right proportion
of faculties to 'start with. The man is rich
who has a good disposition—who. Is naturally
kind, patient, cheertul, hopeful, and who has a
flavor of wit and , fun in composition.
TO 'MAKE MIIWTARD PLASTER S
Bow many people are khere who really know,
how to mak e mustard plaster? Not one in a
hundred at the most, perhaps, anc: yet mustard
plasteis are used in every family, and physi
cians prescribed the application. The . ordinary
way is to mix the , mustard with water, temper
ing it with a little flour; but such a plaster as
this makes it simply abominable. Before it
has half done its work it begins to blistei the
patient, and leaves him finally with a painful,
#ayed-spot, after having produced far less effect
in a beneficial way than was intended. Now
a mustard plaster should never blister at all. If
a blister is wanted, there are other plasters far
better than mustard plaster; then use no water
but mix the mustard with the white °fan egg,
and - the result will be a plaster winch will
"draw" perfectly, but: will not produce blister
;011 the skin of an infant, no matter how long it
is allowed to remain on the part. •
SAVE THE BOYS.
• American youths have undoubtedly imbibbed
wrong ideas of the• dignify of manual labor.
But the general character of the men who have
been crowded into the trades, during the last
twenty-five. years, • has deterred -many who
would have inclined to mechanical pursuits.
Nevertheless, it may be said, for the encourage•
went, of young men seeking a begmhing in
life, that an industrious, faithful and sober
American mechanic is certain to succeed. 'lt
is too late to reclaim the vast concourse of
youths who have goat wrong from the begin
ning. As dront, idlers, or enemies of society,
theY have gone beyond hope of recovery. But
every good citizen is bound to do what , he Can .
to save the boys' now coming forward.
tiOME BEAUTY.
A tasteful woman can make a garret beauti
ful and homelike, and tit little cost; for the
beauty:of home depends more on education and
refined, taste than upon mere wealth: If there
is no artist in the house it matters little that
there is a large balance at the bank. There is
unusually no better excuse for a barren home
than ignorance or cirelessness. A little me
chanie.al skill can_ make - brackets and shelies
for the walls. ~A thoughtful walk in the woods
can gather leaves and ferni3 for adorningthe un
pictured rooms. A trifle saved, from daily ex
penses can now and then `pus new book upon
the slitlf or table. The, expenditure of a few
dollars can convert the plain Windows into a
laboratory. In these and fifty other ways caa
a plidn, barren room be converted into a scene
of beauty:
