THY BU RDEN.—2 We come out of nothingness into being, and find ourselves nestled upon tbe bosom of a mother whose love for us yearns for a stronger expression than she can bestow— and under the protection of a father who would place bis life between us and barm. It is thus that we come ioto the world. We shall go out of it alone. We shall try the realities of tbe unknown companion- less. Human love can follow us to the brink, but no further. We shall part with those we love and trust—shall we meet with those we love and trust ? or shall we be stmngers with none to know or recog nize or care for us ? Here we have shelter from the sun and from the cold and the storms—shall we have shelter there ? Let us provide ourselves under the shadow of the wings of Him who is the Almighty. Close to his warm, cherishing heart here, we shall be so forever. We can be cast upon no shore where he is not. No stoim can fall and no wind can blow where that covert is not nigb. There is no realm where His friendship is not more cheering than all human friendships. In no part of the universe will we be away from the shelter of our Home, nor away from the companionship and smile of our loving Futber, and the cherishing love of our El der Brother. Let us enter God’s family, where we are more than welcome—where our entrance will give joy even to tbe an gels. There we shalt never be from home, never shelterless, never coropanionless. The clasping hands of tbe good-bye here will only be released that tbe hands of tbe joyful welcome may be giveD. We snail take our bauds from the clinging bold, re luct ant to release us, only that we may lay them in tbe warm palm of the King. We shall be pressed to more than a mother’s bosom. We shall have the strong arm of our Heavenly Father between usandbartn. Our infancy in tbe new life will be a con scious'infancy, our safety a conscious safe ty* This is what Christ means in calling to us : “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” Children's Department.

ANOTHER GREAT COMBINE, Why do They Talk so Loud About | Matters That are not Trivial—A Ctrl and her (Numerous Dresses. One day there fell In great Benares’ temple court . A wondrous plate of gold, whereon these words were writ: ‘To him who loveth best, a gilt from hea ven.” Thereat, The priests made proclamation: “At the mid-day hour. Etch day, let those assemble who for vir tue deem Their right to heaven’s gift tbe best; and we will hear The deeds of mercy done, and so adjudge.’ The news Ran swift as light, and soon from every quarter came Nobles and munahis, hermits, scholars, holy men, And all renowned for gracious or for splendid deeds. Meanwhile tbe priests in solemn council sat, and heard What each had done to merit best the gift of heaven. So for a year tbe claimants came and went. At last, After a patient weighing of the worth of all, The priest bestowed the plate of gold on one who seemed The largest lover of the race—whose whole estate, Within tbe year, bad parted been among tbe poor.

When once this evil of discontent has entered in to the soul nothing is right Even the “angels’ food” was not goed enough for the murmuiing Israelites, and “the corn of heaven” could not satisfy those whose souls were filled with tbe discontent of earth. But when once tbe heart has found rest in God, and all its murmurings are hushed in sweet submission to His will, There is peace in believing, and joy in the Holy Ghost, and a hallowed confidence in 1h‘e kind providence of Him who bath done all things well. “Let your conduct be without covetousness, and be content with such things as ye have; for He bath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, Tne Lord is my helper, aDd I {will not fear what man can do unto me. CHRIST IN PRAYER. B B. I.ETSON. So for another twelvemonth sat the priest and judged. Thrice they awarded—thrice did heaven refuse the gift, Meanwhile a host of poor maimi d beggars in the street Lay all about tbe temple gate, in hope to move That love whereby each claimant hoped to win the gift. And wi 11 for them it was (if gold be char ity). For every pilgrim to the temple gate prais ed G> d That love might thus approve itself before tbe test. And so the coins rained freely in tbe out stretch* d lianps; e But none of those who gave so much as turned to look Into the poor sad eyes of them that begged. And new The second year had almost passed, but Still the plate Of gold, by whomsoever touched, was turn 1 ed to lead. At length there came a simpie peasant— not aware Of that strange contest for the gitt of God —to pay A vow within tbe temple. As be passed along Tbe line of shrivelled beggars, all bis soul was moved Within him to sweet pity, and the tears welled up And trembled to his eyes. Jesus of Nazareth divine f His words, works, life, resurrection, and influ ence over the minds of men answer Yes. Then why should He pray ? “Need God pray to God f” “Mystery 1” But He was human as well as divine. As a man, He, like ourselves, suffered wants, and even fears. “Who in the days of his flesh, wbeu he had offered up prayers and sup plications with strong crying and tears un to him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feard (Heb. v. 7). Clearly, his humanity pre aents reasons for his praying. Again, kin died spirits seek their kind. Christ re membered “ihe glory which he had with the Father before the world was.” His kinship to, and sympathy with, tbe King explains why be so often shut off Irom his vision the scenes passing before him, and hung enraptured on the Father. His very divinity, then, also explains his pr»ying But what is prayer f Pr»yer is the soul’s sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed. The motion cf a hidden fire That trembles in the breast He who desires nothing cannot pray. Desiring nothing be may mouth words . but they do not constitute prayer. Intease desire to do God’s will is prayer. In this sense CbrLt must have prayed always. Willy'"t ? Want, fear, sorrow, grati tude, joy or love may be the hidden foun tain ot prayer. Prayer may take the form of conversation and include the facts of daily life. An example of this is seen in the “Confc-SBionsof Bt Augustine.” This great book, iu tbe form of & prayer, re lates tbe author’s history and presents tbe most important of his opinions. “But shall we narrate in prayer things we have done or events that have transpired about ub ? Are not all these things known tc God T Shall We presume to impart infor mation to tbe Omniscient f” If Goa’s knowing a thing is n reason why it should not be presented in prayer, then Christ was misti.ki n aud no person should pray for anything! What is there pertain- taa to our physical, intellectual or spiritual being, or the worlds in which we live that is not known to him f Nothing. Then all that interests us is known to God f Certainly. Then if things known to him should not be found in prayer, certainly people should not pray, for there is noth ing unknown to him of which or for which to pray. Jesus is our exemplar. He pray ed much in secret. WbeD about to euter into temptation be pr-yd (Matt. xxvi. 3®—41). Before tskiru'mii 'T' oit steps in life be prayed (Luke vi 12. IS). He was ntyer too busy to pray (Lt.ke v. 16, 16). He parted Ibis life praying for friends, foes and lor himself (John xix. 20, 27; Lake xxiii. 34—46). Shall we be more like him f —Christian Standard.

She was naturally vivacious, as one might infer from her merry black eyes and quick movements; but this was enhanced, exaggerated to a painful degree by a too obvious effort. She talked—no, yon could not call it talking—she rattled away like a steam en gine to tbe gentleman beside her, using a shrill, falsetto tone that pierced the ear like a knife, and made h< r conversation perfectly audible to all who might care to hear; but there was nothing worth hear ing. She shrieked her engagements in our ears, aud the undying regret her c-valiers were thrown into at her departure from seme where; she bad implored Mr. Home body to release her from a halt promise, but he had clinch'd bis teeth and vowed he would die first; and there were several quarrels about her, all of which had evi dently thrown her off tier balance. I wondered bow any stalwart, sane man Could p»ee as a listener to such thoroughly worthless chatter. There was not a thought, or idea, or suggestion in ail that she poured forth.

But the stare was detencible—ns much as 1 rest nitil it, I could but acc-de that she had invited it— but it was also an insult which she either 1 not or would not perceive. From her General conduct one could see that she ac cepted all such atlenti n as complimenta ry. O. misguided creature! If she could but know the reniaiks that w.-re made about her; if she could only be made to understand how far below even a small standard of modesty she fell in the estima tion of her hearers, she would be prostrate with humiliation. For she was evidently n ally nice girl, tbe objectionable word nice” comprehending intelligence, cul ture, travel and the refinements of good society. It was only heedlessness that ac tuated her, or an excess of vanity that de manded attention from a source that could be nothing but derogatory to her. Well, well, wisdom comes with years, but so does bitter experience, and if girls could only grasp and retain the fact that a simple modesty should guard their young lives, many of the bitter experiences would be done away with.

Seattle, Wash., Aug. 20.—United States District Judge Hanford has made an important interpretation of part of the Chineee exclusion act, requiring the deportation of Chinese that come into this country in violation of the exclu sion acts. Heretofore all Chinese who have entered and who have been caught have been sent to China. Judge Han ford decides that they sbaU hereafter be sent to the country from whence they came. This will send all the Chinamen who come in here after this, hack to British Columbia.

Mr. Crisp appropriately responded, and dur ing his speech touched upon economic questions, especially the burdensome tariff tax the people are paying. His l attentively listened to and greeted with applaoM, L. Baily, to deliver' a lecture in behalf of the association, and, having done eo, Mrs. Lease demanded her pay. Baily paid her the usual local fee of $15, but refused to pay her expenses. Mrs. Lease heard that Baily was going out of Wichita, and she sent her husband down to the depot to interview him, Baily was corralled in the crowded station. Five dollars was demanded of him, which he refused to pay. "You are a d d thief." yelled Mr. Lease, "I want all these people to know that you are a thief. I’d lick yon for a nickel. ” Baily was edging towards tbe door all this time, and said he was going for a policeman, hut as soon as he reached the open air he left.
