"He Knoweth the way that I Take." I know not—the way is so misty— The joys or the fprith It shall briug, What clouds are o'erhanging the future, What flowers by the roadside shall bring ; Bnt there is One who will journey beside me, Nor in weal nor in woe will forsake ; And this is my solace and eomfort— *' lie knoweth the way that 1 take." I stand where the cross-roads are meeting, And know not the right from the wrong ; No beckoning fingers direct me, No welcome floatsf to mc in song ; But my Guide will soon give me a token By wilderness, mountain, or lake- Whatever the darkness about me, •• lie knoweth the way that I take." And I know the way ieadeth homeward To ti a land of the pi re and the bet. To the country of ever-fair summer. To the city of peace aod of rest; And there shall be healiug for sickness, And fountains, life's fever to slake. What matters boside ? Igo heavenward— •' He knoweth the way I take." —London Christian World No one is wicked without loss and pun ishment. — Epictetus. The soul is the life of the body. Faith Is the life of the soul. Christ is the life ol faith. The Spirit is Christ's administrator, and will be sure to give every believer what Christ has left them iu his will. Afflictions may hum and buzz about the Believer like bees that have lost their sting, but that caunot hurt him.— Ft a. tel. A rich man would be ashamed of him self if a poor begger boy should claim such a relationship as the meanest Chri staiu may claim to God.— Rowland Hill. lie true to thy duties; be contented with whatever it is God's will to bestow upon thee, and thou \N ilt have won a pearl ol great price.— From the. Swedish. We hope for what a man promises and wot for what God does. All human af fairs are carried on by the hope of what as to come. God only is not trusted.— Nanson. Has God bestowed on man a liveliness of fancy, a warmth of affectiou, and a heart vibrating with the tender cords of love, Bud not designed that these should be used? — Dr. Knox. Sad it is when the ermine of Christian discipleship is stained by the haudliug of vice. Clean heart, clean hands uud cleau robes are needed in the pulpit and the pew. There are but ten precepts of the law j Of God, and two of them are bestowed on the tougue, as though it were ready to fly out nga'nst God and man if not thus bridled.— Leighton. lly humility, says Emerson, we rise ; by obedience we command; by poverty tve are rich; by dying we live. Paul, however, remarks an English jourual, had said it long before Emersou. A man that hath uo virtue in himself ever euvieth virtue in others ; for men's mind will either feed upon their own good Oi' upon other's evil ; and who wauteth one will prey upon the other. — Bacon. Many favors which God giveth us ravel out for want ot hemming, through out own unthaukfuluess; for though prayer purchased! blessings, giving praise dotli keep quiet possession* of them.— Fuller. When a real believer comes to the bank of the il> er Joidan aud sets his feet in the boat which is going to carry him over •to Canaan, he will wouder at the folly In loving the thiugs of the world.—Ruther ford. Every other sin hath some pleasure au. flexed to it, or will admit of some excuse; but envy wants both; we should strive . agaiust it, for, if indulged iu, it will be to us a foretaste of hell upou earth.—R.Bur ton. ISuvy/likc the worm, uever runs but to the fairest fruit; like a cunning blood bound, it singles out the fattest deer iu the herd. Abraham's riches were the Philistines' envy, aud Jacob's blesslug bred Esau's hatred.—/. Beaumont. Great AUCTION Sale —OF— DRV GOODS —ln charge of — J. L.
