MINISTER OF MONT-
CLAIR.
It 'vas no use, the letters danced be -
Sore his eyes, the whole werld seemed
wavering and uncertain in those days.
He laid his book down, and began to
think of the great .,trouble which{ was
shutting him . in, When the black
Weeks first began fordance between him
and his. paper, months ago, he had not
thought about the ,matter. It was an-
noyiug, to be sure, but he must have
tared his, eyes too severely. He would
work a little less by lamplight—spare
them awhile—and he should be all
right.. So he had spared them more
and more, and yet the specks kept on
their, elfin dance ; and now for weeks
the conviction had been growing on him
slowly that he was going to be blind.
He had not told his wife yet, nor could
he bear to lay on her shoulders the bur-
den of his awful calamity. 0, it •was
too and 1
A d yet was it too hard ? Dared he
say o ? he, God's minister—who had
told then sufferers so many times their
char enings were dealt out to them by
•
thei kind father's hand, and that they
shoed count all that brought them
near r to Him, as joyous, not grievous?
Te , speaking after the manner of
this world, his burden seemed greater
than he could bear. What could he
do— blind, helpleaS man, He must
give ,+:p his work ha life—let another
take is ministry—sit helpless in the
dark. Heaven only knows how long.
:Coal he be thus resigned ?
Th n soddenly a flash of hope kindled
in his sky; here rnight be help for him.
This gathering .darkness might be
something which science could remove.
He would be sure of that, at least, be-
fore he told Mary. .And then he be.
came feverishly impatient. He must
know at once—it seemed to him he
could not wait. He oalled his wife and
told her,with a Manner he tried hard
to make calm, that he was going out of
town the next morning on a Tittle busi-
ness. She wondered that he was so un-
communicative ; it was not like him—
but she would not trouble him with
any questions. She should understand
it all some time, she knew, still she
thought there was something stratnge in
his way of speaking.
The minister strove hard for the
mastery of his own spirit, as 'the cars
whirled him along the next morning
towards the tribunal at which he was
to receive his sentence. He tried to
think of something else, hut found the
effort in vain ; so he said over and over,
as simply as a child ope form of
words :
"Father, whichever way it turns, 0,
give me strength to bear it.'
Holding fast to this prayer as to an
anchor he got out of the cars and went
into the street. What a curious mist
seemed to surround all things ! The
houses looked spectral through it. The
very people he met seemed like ghosts.
He had not realized his defective vision
so much at home, where it came on to
him gradually ; and all objects were so
familiar. Still, with an effort he could
see the signs on the street corners, and
find his way.
He reached at last the residence of
the distinguished occulist for whose
verdict he had come. He found the
parlor half filled with people waiting
like himself. He was asked for his
name, and sent in a card on which was,
'Rev. Wm. Spencer, Montclair.' Then
he waited his turn. He dared not think
how long the time was or what suspense
he was in. He just kept his simple
child's prayer in his heart, and steadied
himself with it. -
The time came for him at last, and
he followed the boy who summoned
him into a little room, .shaded with
green furniture, and on a table a vase
of flowers. The stillness and the cool
air refreshed him. He saw dimly, as t
he saw everything that morning, a tall,
slight man, with a kind face and' quiet e
manner, who addressed him by name,
invited him to sit down, and then in-
quired. into his symptoms with such'
tact and sympathy that he felt as if he t
were talking with a friend. At last the
doctor asked him to take a seat by the
window and have his eyes examined.
His heart beat chokingly and he
. whispered under his breath :
"Thy will, 0 God, be done ; only give
me strength.."
Dr. Gordon was silent for a moment
or two—it seemed ages to Mr. Spencer.
Then he said with the tenderest voice,
as if he felt to. the uttermost all the pain s
he was inflicting : e
"I cannot 'give you any hope the
malady is incurable. You will net lose
yon sight entirely, just yet; but it
must come soon.'
The minister tried to ask how long it

The ' onroe Commercial reports the
last dis'ussion of the Bedford Farmers'
e Club, which. was upon the subject, and

of the question : Machinery rvs.
or. This discussion was opened
by Mr. Carr Green, who said: "It pays
to buy machinery to cut gram with, es-
pecially if you have five or six hundred
acres of, land. We have got to depend
upon n� chinery, because we cannot get
the me to do the work. The men now
-
a -days o not know how to do . the
work." }
Mr. 1ragdon : "It is no harder work j p
to mow now than it was thirty-five or
forty years ago, but it is not popular. '

Dr. Gordon understood, and;answerecl
very kindly that it might be a month,
possibly two. .
He stood up, then to go; He anew
all was over. He paid his fee and went
out of the house. It seemed to him
that things had grown darker since he a
went in. He hardly knew how he found . fr
way to the cars. It was two holm a
past his dinner time, and he was faint of
for want of food, but he did not know
it. He got to the station somehow, and
waited for the train to stop for Mont-
clair. AU the way home he kept
whispering to himself—'One mouth,
possibly; two, as if it was a lesson on the
getting py heart of which his life de-
pended.' He heard the conductor call
out Montolair at last, and got out of the
car mechanically. His wife' stood there
waiting for him. She had been anxious
about him all day.
"Oh, William !" she cried, and then
she saw his face and stopped..
There was a look on it of one over
whom an awful doom is pendiui. ; a
white, fined look, that chilled her. She
took his arm and they walked silently so
home ; when she had taken off her bon-
net, he spoke at last :
"Mary, come here, and let melook at
you. I want to -learn your face by
heart." -
She came and knelt by him while he
took her cheeks between his hands, and
studied every lineament.
"Are you. going away ?" she asked,
as his mysterious gaze began to torture_
her. .
"Yes, dear, I am going going into
the dark."
"To die?" she gasped.
"Yes, to die to everything that makes
up a map's life in ` this world," he an.
swered. "Mary, I am goicg blind.

Mr. Forbes : "This machinery; a
