A Picture.
it is winter on the farm. Outside the
moon's rays on the crisp enow show al thous-
and miniature diamonds scintillating in the
light, and seemingly intent upon rivalling
the luminous stars overhead.
The cattle and horses are long ago fed
and fastened in their comfortable stalls, and
the neatness and order about the barns and
skeds betokens a careful hand and watchful
eye.
The smoke from the .chimneys of the old
farm -house curls upward. Mae and NV hite,
and floating lazily off, dissolves in the I clear
Inaide the heuee the scene is very invit-
ing. The fire leaps and sparkles in the old
fireplace, throwing•its rosy; gleams to the
farthest, corner of the room.Here, as out
of doors, are :-ieus of neatness anel care.
The small table drawn up before the fire
contains current numbers of the best mag-
azines, and souse late newspapers, while a
few books, religious and scieneific, tell that
the inmates of this home have taken some
_time to cultivate their minds, while provid-
ing for the comfort ef their bodies.
On either side of the table are the farmer
and his wife, each in their own easy chair,
for the work of the day is over, and this is
the time fer quit and rest. His cheek is
yet ruddy, though his haie shows many a
thread of ; and while his face is
seamed, yet they are all kindly lines, and
'do not destroy its benevolent expression.
His wife sitting opposite is not knitting.
The little souks and stockings were_all knit
and worn out years ago ; but the paper in
her lap and the glasses lying upon the table.
show that she has been engaged in reading.
Now hea hands are reposing- idly upon the
paper, while her eyes are fixed upon the
•:gIowing coals with a far away look, which
ehows it is not the fire she is studying. Her
hair has been very dark and abundant, but
like her husband's, it, toe, shows signs of
the flight of years, although her eyes are
still bright; and the peaceful expreesion in
her face shows that her work has been well
.done, and that she is approaching a content-
ed old. age.
Of what does she think as she sits there
to -night? Perhaps it is of the time wIwn
there were little faces clustered before the
fire. little heads in her lap, and tittle feet
lingering by her side. • The baby's cradle

Dining the ministry of Dr. Andrew Boner
in Glasgow, it was found to be expedient :to
erect new hoiL4aof worship at Finnieston.
The espenses out4n the estimates, and the
cost Was much greater than had been antiIci-
pated'; and the debt which for some tine
rested upon it was • a grave anxiety to the
congregation. Many suggestions were made
as to how it was to be cleared off, and
among other things a bazar „was proposed,
of which Mr. Boner strongly disapproved.
He suggested delay as to further ialn,ns until
the matter had been made a subject of
• special prayer. A full meeting of elders
a,nd deacons was called, and the time. as
spent in earnest prayer for God's guidatiee.
There were men there who knew the way
to the mercy -seat, and their requests were
made known to God.
About a fortnight afterwards one of his
elders called upon him one morning. He
was busy in his study, andlooked more
than usually bright.

This contains a cheque for one thousand
