BY RATE SUMNER GATES. "God never sends you anywhere that doe e not send an opportunity with you." Margie's Sunday.school book lay open the stand, and Marian's eyes fell on t above sentence as she looked there for h gloves. She was in a great hurry lest she shou lose her car, but something in the words a traoted her attention, and she stopped read them over a second time. As she h ried out of the house they were still ringi in her ears. God never sends you anytvien .., that does not send an opportuey with yo Was it God who was send!' A her info t city to -day, and was he ta-nding also an o portunitv for her? "It makes me fee almost shivery think so," she said to herself. "1 ha rather feel that I am just going ou shopping; there's no very great responsibi ity about that; but it would be sort o dreadful to feel that God sent you to d something, and you didn't do it. I migh not eee it, you know, and I mightn't want t do it even if I did see it," she added, wi eudden frankness. .And, truth to tell, Ma rian was not very apt to do things whic put her out. Once in the city she was busy with he various errands, and the subject which ha ooeupied her thoughts on the way dolv slipped her mind. Just before noon she met Nora King. "Isn,t it beautiful out 1" said Nora. Bat, dear me, I ean't half enjoy it fo thinking of poor Grace Barret. What Haven't you heard about her ? You know she's been studying so ,hard to fit hersel for a teacher, end she's overwerkiel her eyes. She has been very sick, and now the doctor sayssehe must stay in a clerk room for the dear knows how long. They say she's about wild, for they are poor, you know, and she weaned to help her mother. If I was one of you good folks, and knew what to say, I'd go and see her. Think how the hours must drag; for her mother has to sew, so she's alone most of the time. You and I, don't have muck to trouble use do we? Going to the Symphony this after- noon? Then 1'11 see you there. Good-bye.' Nora turned to go home, and Marian went slowly in the opposite direction. How hard it Must be for Grace ! She would try to go and see her some time. She ems not sure that she knew what to say any more than Nora did; but perhaps she could help her pass away an hour or so. And thee all at once Marian came to a standstill. Was this her opportunity? "0 resew 1" she said, impatiently; "1 wish I hadn't seen that miserable little sentence. I want to go to the Symphony the worst way this afternoon, for Helen Douglas will have her cousin with her, and it is my only chance to meet her. I'll go to see Grace some other day. Besides, I've bought my ticket; I must go." "It doesn't matter if you have bought your ticket," said conscience very clearly; "you know that Edna Graves wovld be delighted with it; shenever would take it from you as a gift, but if you offer it be- cause you can't use it she will feel different. ly. I don't believe the's been to a concert this winter; think how she would enjoy it! You are going to he busy sewing, and won't be likely to come in again for several weeks. I think you should go and see Grace to.day. She may be better before you can go again, and you will have missed this opportunity. Suppose it is the one that God sent you to do to-day—will you not be sorry by and by if you neglect to do it ?" These questions and others like, them kept coming to Marian as she went from one store to another, "There's no use in my trying to go to the concert now," she said, impatiently. "1 won't take any comfort if I do." So it came to pass that early that after- noon she found herselt in Grace's dark room; but she was more than surprised at the welcome she received. "0 Marian," said Grace, with a sob, "you don't knovr how thankful I am to see you ; it just seems to me that I cannot bear it any longer, and yet I can't help myself. Mother is killing herself, and here I must sit in the dark and fold my hands. I believe that I shall be crazy before long. Do tell me something to change my thoughts for a few minutes any way." "11 I were one of you good folks, and knew what to say, I'd go in a minute". Nora's words flashed through Merian's mind just then. She was one of the good ones— that is, she was a professing Christian, and she ought to know what to say to this friend in her sore need of help; but she did not, nor could she remember having ever spoken any such words in all her Christian life, "I can't preach," the thought, with an impatient shrug of her shoulders, which, fortunately, Grace could not see. I don't believe in it, and I couldn't say anything to help her if I tried. I ahould only make a bad, matter worse." "Then you ought to be ashamed of your- self," said that troublesome conscience, "If ru, had any real love for Christ in yaw heart you would be ahle to say. Something. Grace met a Christian, nor her mother. Think What an opportunity it may be that God wants you to use " It all went through Marirtnet mind in a monient or two, and there ere went tip from her heart the morn earnest dry for help that Oat she had offer- ed in;her life. It mist be evet and ever so hard Guide dear," she said softly and hesitatingly. "And I don't see how you can bear ib Only as you feel 80/16 that there is some good reason for it being so. haven't had aity trouble myself to speak of,but you know how much my Aunt Marian beet had, and ehe says she has just clung to that verse, He tnat spared nw* not Ms own Son, hoshall He not with Him also freely give tia all things!' he on he er Id t. to Ur - ng he u. he p. to 1- sh She pays she lames if God loved her en ough to give her Hie Son to suffer and die kir bee HO roves her enough to give her everething else that is best for her; d0e't you think it Louie) be so?

That was all that Marian tried to eay, and Grace made very little reply then, but weeks after she sent a nolo to Marian, " Dear MUUn," it read, "1 want to thank you for your Aunt Meriares words - They olung to me and I to them through those dark days, and at loot I found com- fort in them.

And. ia catne to.pass after these things that Abraham sat an the door of his tent about the going down of the sun. 2. And behold a man, bowed with age, came from the way of the wilderness, lean- ing on a staff. 3. And Abraham arose and met him, and said unto him, Turn in, I pray thee, and wash thy feet, and tarry all night, and thou shalt arise early on the morrow and go thy way. 4. But the man said, Nay, for I will abide under this tree. 6. And Abraham pressed him greatly ; so he turned and they went into the tent, and Abraham baked unleavened bread and they did eat. 6. Arid when Abraham saw that the man blessed not God, he said unto him, Where. fore dost thou not worship the mosb high God, Creator of heaven and earth? 7. And the man answered and said, I do not worship the God thou speakest of, neither do I call upon His name ; for I have made to myself a God, whioh abideth al- ways in my house, and provideth me with all things. S. And Abraham's zeal was kindled against the man, and he arose anddrove him forth with blows into the wilderness. 9. And at midnight God called unto Abraham, saying, Abraham, where is the stranger 10. And Abraham answered. and said, Lord, he would not worship Thee, neither would he call upon Thy name, therefore have I driven him out from before my face into the wilderness. 11. And God said, Have I borne with hire •these hundred ninety and eight years and nourished him, and clothed him, notilvith. standing his rebellion against Me, and couldst not thou, that art thyself a sinner, bear with him one night? 12. And Abraham said Let not the anger. ofrmy Lord wax hot against His servant ; Io I have sinned, forgive me, I pray thee. 13. And Abraham arose and went forth into the wilderness, and sought diligently for the man, and found him and returned with him to the tent, ahd when he had treated him kindly he sent him away on the morrow with gifts. . 14. And God spake again unto Abraham, saying, For this thy sin shall thy seed be afflicted four hundred years in a strange land. 15. But for thy repentance will I deliver them and they shall come forth with power and gladness of heart, and with much sub. stance. The Mistake She Made. At a party the hostess said to a guest: "1 want you to entertain Mr. Blank a little; he looks bored to death. I will introduce himand you must try to amuse him. You know his strong point is butter, on which he has written a book." The lady guest graciously undertook the task of entertaining the man, inwardly won- dering that he, should be so interested in butter—of which she knew very little— when his faoe indicated a mind given to much profound thinking. However, with butter in view, the began on theweather, gradually got to the country, then onto a farm, front that to cows, and at last to butter. The man looked more bored than ever, the magic word butter pro- ducing not the slightest effect, and he left her somewhat abruptly and soon withdrew from the house. "1 did my best," she explained to the hostess; "1 went through agonies to prove that I was deeply interested in butter, but it was all in vain." "Butter!" exclaimed the hostess. "What possessed you to talk to that man, of all men, on butter? I told you he had just written a book on Buddha, and I knew how deeply you two were interested in the same subject.', And they said in chorus " Gracious!" Sam Jones on Amerioan Politics, DETROIT, July 1 --Sam Jones, the famous Georgia revivalist, preached in the Metho- dist °lunch here to.clay to an immense con- gregation composed largely of Americans. After saying that on the whiskey question Canadians were no bettet than the residents of the States he caused something of a sen- sation by declaring:—" Now I'll tell you, I think we are running the last political com- bat on the lines we have been running them on. It is between the Republicans aud Democrats, thie contest, and it is the last race the Republicans will Make in America. The Democrats are going in overwhelming. Four years from now we will break up the gelid South. The issue then will be God or no God, drunkeneas or sobriety, Sabbath or no Sabbath, Heaven or hell. That will be the issue. Then we will wipe up the ground with the Democratic party and let God rule Americo- from that time forth." Nilsson's Debut. Vieriting of Mme. Nilsson.Miranda's farewell concert, Dr, Louis Engel says in the World, of London: "Never shall I forget the sensa- tion created by the young Swedish girl at the Theatre Lytique, in Paris, and how within one week the name of Christine 'Illa- tion was in everybody's mouth. She who be- gan to sing in the street With her little brother, proud of the receipts of her fird 0011dert, Which arnouted t� gveptince half- penny, sent the inhabitants of the most eoue capital of the world mad, following up her successes with England mac?

The Islam heaven described in the Ko- ran is a place of all sensuous delight, where the righteous recline on couches 'in a fair garden, drinking the delicious beverage supplied by the fountain Tasnim and waited on by damsels or houris with great eyes and yielding temperaments. The life of the Moslem soldier was a wearying one, a long succession of fights tin.dar a blazing sun, and with the prospect of such a divine oasis awaiting him he would almost rush to death. The lives of the old Norsemen were full of alternate carousings and strife, and they who could drink the heaviest and strike the greatest niamber of crushing blows per minute were their gods. So their priests placed these gods in the Valhalla, gave them the beautiful Valkyries to be their waiting maids, and sent the souls of all heroes slain in battle, to join these roystering immortals, and to pass an eter- nity in chanting sagas and quaffing meads from the skulls of their enemies. Of an entirely different complexion is the heaven of the Buddist. One ought rather to say heavens, for there are twenty-eight of them, the gradual as- cending scale of happiness being as follows: The not fighting, the joyful, the change enjoying, the changing others arbitrarily, the assembled Brahmas the servants of Brahma, the great Brahma, limited light, 'nitrated light, pure light, limited purity, illimited purity, perfeot purity, great merit, unconscious, the not great, the ex- empt from pain, the wellseeing, the besaniful the leighest, illimited space, illimited science, the place of naught, that of no thought and that of not no thought. TMs means a gradual firing.out process until the result is absolutely nil. The final goal of Bud- dhistic salvation is, indeed, the clestructiou of sin by exhausting its existence, or by impeding its continuance. The state of of blessed nonenity and ecstatic nullification is known as the Nirvana. There is some- thing pathetically simple in the dis- tinctively opposite idea that regulates the red men's heaven. To him there is spread out the happy hunting grounds where, with his dog and bow and arrows, he may follow the deer over rustling prairies and through the whispering woods, with no paleface to drag him to school or shut him up in a reservation. The Sin of Overwork. The woman who spends her life in un. necessary labor is by this very labor unfitted for the higher duties of home. She should be the haven of rest to which both children and husband turn for peace and refreshment. She '',.should be the careful, :intelligent ad- viser and guide of the one, and the tender confidant of the other. How is it possible for a woman exhausted in body, and, as a natural consequence in mind also, to per- form either ef thistle kcee. 16 is not pos- sible. The constrine strain is too great. Natute gives way beneath it. She loges health, and spirit, and hopefulness, and more than all, her youth—the test thing that a woman should alkiev to slip from her; for, no matter how old she is in years, she should be young in heart and feelingi for the youth of age is sometimes more attractive than youth itself. To the overworked woman this green old age is out of the question.

There are many banks of sands in the world which are known for the musical sounds they produce when the wind or any other cause puts the sands in motion. One of these, in Arabia has been deeoribed by Lieutenant Newbold; and another, in Af- ghanistan, is described by Colin Mackenzie as follows : "It is a very ateep bank of sand, running up a mountain to the heiglt of some three hundred yards. The sand is extremely fine, and is eupposed to be unfathomable. If a o e of any depth whatever be dug la it, in ' the course of a few hours all is smooth and level again. 1 n the plain below an annual fair is held, when many persons perform the feat of as- cending to the top, which is by no means easy from its steepness d the yieldisag nature of the sand, into which the leg sinks to the calf, the foot slipping back at each stride. "The sand displaced by the climber runs rustling down, and creates a sound like the distant dash of waves on the seashore, which, when a multitude ascend and the wind blows strongly against the face of the bank, resembles the loud clash of cymbles. What- ever sand may be displaced from the top is always blown back again by the strong winds which eddy round its base. "Taking off our boots, my comrades and I struggled up. The feat coat me halt an hours exertion, although those who are accustomed to it can do it in less time. The rooks beyond are limestone whose sharp, angular surface forbade our further ascent - with bare feet. We made the boys race down. One accomplished the distance in thirty seconds. Atter the toil of ascending, the sensation of running down is delightful. "A petty chief of our party, wnila bound- ing down, pitched forward his head, which sunk deep in the sand, and his heels remain- ed up in the air for a few seconds in the most ludicrous manner. His own people were convulsed with laughter, but he pre- served his good -humor" Don't Wait Until your hair becomes dry, thin, and gray before giving the attention needed to preeerve its beauty and vitality.

Young ladies—and, for that matter, old ladies as well --who have bestowed their affections upon gentlemen under 21 years of age, should closely study the case of Holmes v. Briarley, concluded the other day in the Court of Queen's Bench. Miss lifolraes became engaged to Mr. Britirley while he was a minor, but after he attained his majority, on account of some change ha her father's pecuniary position she offerei to release him from his engagement. This offer Mr. Briarley indignantly declined, though he subs€quently threw the lady over. The question then was this : Did his refusal to accept the offered release constitute a new promise, or merely a ratification of the old pronnse?' A fine distinction this, and one which the plaintiff, to her sorrow, failed to appreciate. Baron Huddlestone and Mr. Justice Charles have determined that there WSE4 no new promise, but only a ratification of the old and invalid promise. Ladies, therefore,who wish th make aseurancelegally sure, must lay to heart the distinction be- tween a ratification and a new ?minim). They must be absolutely and unconditionally off with the old engagement before they are on with the new. The Work of a So -Called "Trust."

The philanthropic Trust oanee along and purchased the plant mad shut it up, and for two years, says Hon. Alex. C.
