"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

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

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

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

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

There are but ten precepts of the law j
Of God, and two of them are bestowed on

lly humility, says Emerson, we rise ;
by obedience we command; by poverty

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

purchased! blessings, giving praise dotli
keep quiet possession* of them.— Fuller.
When a real believer comes to the bank

Every other sin hath some pleasure au.

ISuvy/likc the worm, uever runs but
