After singing the fatni liar songs and praying the old familiar prayer the Squire conducted the par¬ son to the bed-room designed for the rest of the good old servant. “What do you call, this!’ asked the parson regarding with an air :f inter¬ act a mosquito-b -,r expended above t he bed. ‘ Why that is a mosqaitc-b.ir.’ “What account ia it? ..

What Love To hod IS LoYe th Christ smooths the path of duty and wings the feet to travel it; it obedience; is tjie bow it which is the impels mainspring Che arrow moving of tho wheels of duty; it is the strong arm tugging tho oar of diligence.

He that hath iove can uo more be motionless thau tbe as¬ pen in the gale the sear leaf in the hur¬ ricane or the spray in the tempest. As well may hearts cease to beat as love to labor. Love is iustinot with activity it cannot be idle; it ia fail of energy, it cannot content itself with littlos; it is the well-spring of heroism and groat deeds are chu gushings ot its toumain; it is a giant it heapeth mountains upon mountains aud thinkotli the pile but little it is a mighty mysnery for it chauges bitter into sweet, it calls death life and lit'o death, and it makes pain loss paiuful than enjoyment .—Spurgeon.
