IN MEMORY OP OUR BABY.
Why should the heights:tribe= of morn
• Be darkened by a cloud;
The promise ole pleabant day
Be wrapped in a dark shroud ?
Why should the frosty breath of Heaven
The frees flower lay low;
While yet In bud it reared its head,
And balmy where blow?
Wb y should the obild,rso lately born,
Be early called away ;'
Thiele infant arras that stretch to us,
Return into the clay
The morn, the bud, the child, these all ?
Have their glad answer given :
They show us all things pass away,
And point us up to Heaven.
The God that gave, He takes away,
To grace His court, above; -
His chastisment to us seems hard,
But it b given in love.

' Learn to laugh. A good laugh is better
than medicine. Learn how to tell a story.
A good story is as welcome as a sunbeam in
a sick room. Learn to keep your own troub-
les to yourself. The world is too busy to
care for your ills and sorrows. Learn to
stop croaking. If you can not see any good
in this world, keep the bad to yourself.
Learn to hide your achesand pains under' a
pleasant smile. No one cares to hear
whether you have the earache, ,headache or
rheumatism. Don't cry. Tears do well
enough in novels, but they are out of place
in real life. Learn to meet your friends
with a smile. The good-humored man or
women is always welcomed, but the dyspep-
tic or hypochondriac is not wanted any-
where, and is a nuisance as well.

BISHOP B. W. ARNETT.
SWAYS AUDIENCES WITH HIS MAS-
TERLY ELOQUENCE. •
HE WRITES A LETTER OF MORE THAN 'USUAL
INTEREST TO SUFFERING HUMANITY. -
At 'Wilberforce, Ohio, three miles north
of Xenia, andinear Deyton and Springfield,
is located Wilberforce University and Payne
Theological Seminary.
These two institutions of learning have
educated many ministers and teachers.
In this somewhat, noted educational ceu-
tre'resides Bishop Benjamin W. Arnett,
D. D., a divine who is of especial promin-
ence because of his thrilling eloquence with
which he has swayed many audiences.
Among the high officials of the -church, no
one is more distinguished than he.
BISHOP 11, W. ARNETT.
Before being elected bishop he was a lead-
ing minister in his church, and also it very
prominent Republican. -He represented, his
ceunty in the Ohio Legislature for several
years.
Having given this sketch of the bishop,
the following testimonial from him will be
found very interesting reading and fully ex-
plains itself.
To whom it may concern:
"In April, 1894, while on my way home
from Philadelphia I caught a very severe
cold, which soon developed into rheuma-
tism. It was impossible for me to rest by
day or sleep by night. Aboat the first of
June I was compelled to take to my bed,
where I remained for some time. , When I
was 'able to get up, I could only go about by
the use of crutches.
"The fall came on and the rheumatism
grew worse, lasting all through the winter
of '94 and '95. I suffered as I never suffer-
ed before. I thought that the spring would
bring me relief, but it did not, consequently
I was forced to cancel a number of engage-
ments to speak.
"One day beljune, 1895, my wife said,
Bishop, I read so much about -Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills, suppose you try them and
see if they will not help you?'
"1 said, "No, there is no use of getting
them, for we have tried almost everything
that has been recommended to us'and none
of the remedies suggested seem to help my
ease.
"She said no more, but went to Xenia,
Ohio, and bought a box of the pills. On
her return she gave me a dose at noon and
another at night. She was only called one
time to attend to me during that night.
"For months previous she had been call-
ed three to four times during the night.
The next day I took three doses of the pill;
and the second night I was not diriturbed.
My wife'for the first time in more than ten
months, had a good night's sleep.
"1 have not lost a night'a sleep sincelht
time on account of the rheumatism. I carry
a box of Dt. Williams' Pink Pills in my
pocket wherever I go.
"1 cheerfully bear Itestimony and hope
that others may find relief as I did. I have
recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to
several people.
"i Yours for God and Ilan.
BENJAMIN W. ARNETT."

Wolfgang Atiozart'S Prayer.
Meny years ago in the town of Salzburg,
Austria, two little children lived in a cot
surrounced by vines, near a pleasant river.
They both loved music, and when only six
years of age Frederica could play' well on a
harpsichord. But from her little brother such
simaine of melody would resound through the
humble cottage as were never before heard
from so young a child.-- Their father was a
teacher of music, and his own children were
his best pupils.
There came times so hard that these chil-
dren had scarcely enough to eat, but they
loved each other, and, were happy in the
simple enjoyments that fell to their lot.
One pleasant day they said: "Let us take
a walk in the woods. How sweetly the
birds sing, aid the sound of the river as it
flows is like music."
So they went. As they were sitting in
the shadow of a tree` the boy said though -
fully :
"Sister, what a beautiful place this would
be to pray."
Frederica asked. wondering: What shall
we pray for ?"
"Why, for papa and mamma," said her
brother. "You see how sad they look. Poor
mamma hardlyever smiles now, and I know
it must be because she has not always bread
enough for us. Let us pray to God to help
"Yes;" said Frederica, "we will."
So these two sweet children knelt down
and prayed, asking the heavenly Father to

bleu their parents and make them a help to
them.
"But how can we help papa and mam-
ma ?",asked Frederica.
7 "Why, don't you know ?" replied Wolf-
gang, 'My soul in full of music, and by and
by I shall play lbefore great people, and
they will give me Plenty of money, and I
will .give it to our dear parents,. and we'll
live m a fine house and be happy."
At this a loud laugh aslioniehed the boy,
who did not know that anyone was near
them. Turning he saw a fine gentleman
who had just come from the woods. The
stranger made inquiries, which the -little
girl answered telling him
' "Wolfgang means to be adeniea:t musician;
he thinks that he cart earn money, so that
we shall no longer be poor."
"He may de Unit when he has learned to
pley well enough," replied the stranger.
Frederica answered:
"He is only laix years old, but playa
beautifully, -and can compose pieces."
"That cannot be," replied the gentlemen.
"Come to see us," said the boy, "and I
will play for you."
"I will go this evening," answered the
stranger.
The ohildrhn went home and told their
story to their parents, who seemed much
pleased and astonished. ,
Soon a loud rap was heard at the door,
and on opening it the little family were sur-
prised to see men bringing in baskets of
richly -cooked food in variety and abun-
dance. They had an ample feast that even-
ing.
Thus God answered the children's prayer.
Soon after, while Wolfgang was playing a
sonata which he had composed, the stranger
entered and stood astonished at the won-
dro'us melody. The father recognized in
Iris guest Francis I., the Emperor of Aus-
tria. ri ab.
N
et long afterward the family were invit-,
dy
the Emperor of Vienna, where Wolf-
gang astonished the royal, family by his
wonderful powers.
'
At the age of fifteen years Wolfgang was
acknowledged by all eminent composers as a
master. .
Mozart was a good Christian as well as a
great musician. The simple trust in God
which he learned in childhood never forsook
him. In a letter to his father he says:
"I never lose- sight of God. I acknow-
ledge his power and dread his wrath, bat at
the same time I love to admire his goodness
and mercy to his creatures. He will never
abandon his servant; By the fulfilment of
his will mine -is satisfied."
The simple, trusting faith of the young
musician was remarkable, and it, teaches old
and young a lessmo-Exchange
,
The Date of Easter.
The date of Easter is determined by the
ecclesiastical calendar of the Catholic
church, It is a very complicated and elab-
orate affair, invented by Lilius, a Neapoli-
tan astronomer and sage, under Gregory
nu at the elate of the sixteenth century.
It would be preposterous to tax the brains
of modern readers with the abstruse calcul-
ations by which the date of Easter is de-
termined, but e few general rules might be
givenefor their enlightenment.
The regulations of the council of Nice are
four: First, Easter must be, celebrated on
a Sunday. Second, this Sunday must fol-
low thefourteenth of the paschal moon;
Third, the paschal moon, whose fourteenth
day talks on or next follows the day of the
vernal ,equinox. Fourth, the equinox is
fixed invariably in the calendar on the.21st
day of March.
This calendar moon, it should be remem-
bered, is not the moon of the heavens' nor
yet the moon of the astronomers butit is
an imaginary moon, created for ecclesiastical
. convenience. From these conditions it fol-
lows that Easter Sunday cannot happen ear-
lier than the 22nd of March or later than
the 25th of April.

He told the Truth.
Father -So you were strapped at school
to -day. Willie. Why was that?
Willie—Fortelling the truth, father.
Father—For telling the truth 1 You
would not be punished for telling the
Willie -But I was. It was like this :
Teacher eves telling up about Easter egg.
She drew some eggs on the blackboard, and
when she had left the room I wrote beneath
them : "The hen that laid these eggs was

A Good Answer.
One day a malicious person says to Alex-
andre Dumas fils " Your father was a
mulatto, was be not ?"
Duinas replied : "Yea, sir ; my father
was a mulatto, my grandfather was a negro,
and my great-grandfather a monkey. My
genealogy begins where yours ends."
•
A Telling Admission.
Here is a little temperance sermon from
one of the biggest producers of whiskey in
Kentucky: After having lived eighty-one
years, I have learned tnat one drink of
whiskey is enough,, two are too many, and
three are not enough. I have also learned
that drinking whiskey is a business by
itself. It is, moreover, a jealous business
that doesn't want you to do anything else.
You must attend strictly to that vehen you
are at it, and let all other business go. And,
sir, it is a business that doesn't 'pay. On
the eontrary, it is a losing business all the
time, sir.

Bad Use of the Wheel.
The Sunday tycle is a questionhtt issue
before Christien . It is on, and calls for
consideration. Thouea,nds are crowding the
city throughfares and spinning 'through the
rural districts, every fair Lord'siday. Mul-
titudes "remember the Sabbath day "-
chiefly to ride the bicycle. Some churish
members and otherwise good people take
part in this with the ungodly. The mor-
ality or the wrong is to be settled.
Sunday ears hold an analogous relation to
this new question. It is not long since that
all riding in cars running on Sunday was
generally regarded as wrong. But Sunday
cars, now in standing before the law, are
relatively right and wrong. There is a use
that such running may serve in works of
necessity and mercy. To relieve the sick,
theepoor, and the labor enslaved, some acts
may be done by -them on Sunday, in the
name of the Lord. For any such purposes
Christians allow themselves to ride in cars
-and to attend divine service. Each one
be 'however, to be a law unto himself, and
must stand or fall before his own Master.
For sinful pleasure, or for worldly gain, or
for any evil purpose the Sunday car is not
right.
For similar considerations the Sunday
bicycle may be approved or . eondenmed.
You may go on errands of mercy, for the
doctor, for the relief of some, or to enable
you to go to church, or as some ministers -
to preach thegospel. These may be, per-
haps, exceptional cases, but yet real ones.
It is not unfair to say, that the great bulk
of Sunday bicycle riders are not moved by
any such worthy considerations. They go
for selfishness and sin, first and last. They
wantto exercise their skill, or togain more
than they yet have. They seek the frolic
and excitement of the excursion. They join
with godless and worldly associates. They
indulge their likinge for the exhilaration,
Cant becomes a harmful absorbing passion.
Only a step liesbetween this and the wild-
est dissipation.' Ib is a dangerous aid to
sin. This part of it is evil continually;
God's word not only forbids and con-
demns what is grossly sinful in this sort of
discretion, but it also encourages those who
regard the Lord'sday, and turn from doing
their own gleesome on His holy day -making
it honorable and a delight unto Him.
Pleasure -riding on Sunday, whether in cars
or carriages, or on a bicycle, is wrong, and
should be discountenanced and discouraged
by Christians. By .example, and counsel,
and earnest admonition, the Sunday , dose -
oration by the bicycile should be abolished.
Tho fad has • now strong, popularity in its
favor, but it is better to please,God than to
fall into the sinful follies of godless nen.

There are few farmers who have not seen
the sprouts of potatoes in their cellars find
the way to a knot -hole in a board, and ex-
tend theirogrowth through it in search of
sunlight. The Mowing case, recoicled by a
California paper, tells what a root did:
The root of a tree followed the brick eas-
ing of a sewer until it reached a high brick
wall in which, several feet above the level
on which the root was growing, was a small
hole leading through to the other side. For
this hole the root nsade a "beeline," pass-
ed through it, and ran dowepn the other
side where finally it found the water it
sought.
The queation was asked by the journal
,which records the case, "How did the tree
know of the. hole in the wail? How did it
know of the water on the other side ?"
The anewer made by a botanist is a very
simple one. The tree did not know any-
thing about the hole or the water, for trees
do not " know " anything. Bat they send
out their roots in every direction. Those
which find moisture and nutriment grow
and thrive ; and those which find none die
and waste away.
The root in the case in question was pro-
bably turned upward by the wall, so that
its discovery of the whole was purely ac-
cidental. But once through that aperture,
its discovery 'of the water below was per-
fedtly natural.
The roots of trees do "know "-not of
their own conscioueness, but as the result
of countless ages of growth in their kind -
how to push on in the direction of water.
The Boy and the Man.
Coleridge Patteson-na scholar at Eton,
one of England's farnous historic, schools -
was a high spirited lad, and a great favorite
in the cricket eleven of the school, for he
was an uncommonly:good player.At the deb
suppers, "Coley,"as the boys called him,
was dieturbed by the questionable jestslhaud
stories of some of the members, and at
length declared publicly that he should pro-
test against anything like indecency in the
convereation or in the songs that were sung.
Notwithstanding this, at the next meeting
one of the boys began to sing salacious
ditty, and "Coley ' rose indignantly to his
feet.
"11 this sort of thing goes on I shall
leave the room," he said.
The singer continued, and " Coley"
marched out. The next day he wrote to
the captain of the eleven and told him that
unless he received an apology he should quit
the club. He was too important a man to
lose, and the apology was sent. The trial
of feeling to the young fellow who made it
could have been no -greater than the trial of
demanding it and riskinghdrefusal ; for like
all enthusiastic cricket players, " Coley "
was passionately fond of the game. But he
loved character better than -cricketri and the
outcome was a victory of principle. Here
was the kind of boy of which martyrs are
made. The spirit that emboldened him to
resent vileness sent him afterward to present
Christianity to a pagan people. A group of
islands north of New Guinea in the South
Pacific became the brave man's field of
labor, and there he fell a victim to heathen
cruelty. But death has not erased from the
memory of earth his example of manly
courage and loyal discipleship. The story ,
of the boy of Eton and Martyr Bishop of
Melanesia" is told here -and will be told
for many a year to come -to kindle fearless
virtue in other minds and impress a noble
lesson of Christ -like sacrifice.
-Mr. Andrew Appel, of the H. B. Wil-
ker furniture factory, Tavistock, was mar-
ried on Wednesday of last week, at the
home of the bride's parents,to Miss Alma,
daughter of Henry Hasenpflug, of Milver-
ton, in the presence of large numbers of
friends. The bride was the recipient of
many beautiful presents.
-Sir Oliver Mowat has drafted a clause
to the criminal code, which he will ask
parliament to enact, with a view to setting
right the ideee of those who have loose
theories on the subject of matrimony. The
clause provides that anyone in guilty of an
indictable offence, and liable to a penalty
not exceeding one thousand dollars, or to
one year's imprisonment, or to both, who
lives openly and notoriously with another
person as man and wife, and without any
claim or pretence of their being married to
one another.
-A young man who was hypnotized by
Professor Ferris in the Hamilton Opera
House Tuesday evening of last week and
subsequently buried in an a,djoinieg vacant
lot, awoke out of his trance early next after-
noon and cried loudly: "For God's sake let
me .out of here." He could he seen down
the ventilating shaft, writhing and twisting
in his efforts to free himself Ferris was
soon on the spot with several men armed
with picks and shovels, and the sub)ect was
released from his prison, much to his relief.
It was intended to have left him hurried
until Friday.
-Some time ago a -colored man- named
Moses Miller had his feet frozen, and was
taken to the London hospital. It was found
necessary to amputate both big toes. The
skin failed to grow on the end of one toe,
and the doctor thought of grafting some
skin on it. He was puzzled how to get the
skin, but a medieel student volunteered to
sacrifice a slice of his cuticle on the altar ef
science. A piece about the size of a quarter
was taken from his left arm and skilfully
grafted on the toe of Moses. . It is making
itself quite at home there, and will always
remain a white patch on Moses' terminal
projection.
-An affair which has caused much talk
and speculation in social circles in Toronto,
culminated in the issue of a writ on Mon-
day, on behalf of Miss Ethel Henrietta
Smith, by a firm of Toronto barristers'for
untitated damages for breach of promise of
marriage, against John Craig Eaton, young-
est son of Timothy Eaton, and manager of
one of the departments in the T. Eaton
Company's store. Miss Smithi is 19, and
Mr. J. C. Eaton is 23, and the' engageMent
dates back three years, but they have
known each other from childhood, and al-
ways showed a decided preference for each
other's society. No cause is assigned for
the breaking off of the engagement.

An Oriental Story.
An Eastern king was once in need of a
faithful servant and friend. He gave notice
that he wanted a man to do a day's work,
and two men came and asked to be employ-
ed. He engaged them both for -certain fix-
ed wages, and set them to work to fill a,
basket with water from a neighboring well,
saying he would come in the evening and see
their work. He then left them to them-
selves and went away. After putting in
one or two bucketfuls one of the men said :
"What is the good of doing this useless,
work? As soon as you put the water in on
one side it runs out on the other."
The other man answered:
"But ehe have our day's wages, have we
f, 1
not? The use of the work is the master's
business, --not ours." °
"1 am not going to do fineh fool's work,"
replied the other; and tfg•owing down his
bucket, he went away. •
The other man continued his work till
about sunzet he exhausted. the well. Look-
ing down into it, he saw sortiething shining
at the bottom. He let &owe his bucket
once more and drew up a Precious diamond
ring.
Now I nee the use of pouring water
into a basket," he exclaimed to himself.
"11 the bucket had brought up the ring
before the well was dry, ieiveould have been
found in the basket. ,The I labor was not
useless after all," .
But he had yet to learn why the king had
ordered this apparently useless ta.sk. It was
to test& their capacity for peafeet obedience,
without which no servant IS reliable.
At this moment the king carne up to him;
and, as he bade the men keep the ring, he

The Usual Result.
There had been a row a in the O'Dowd

Long Remembered,. Trouble, now
a Thing of the Past.
' A Seaforth lady gives an account of her rescue
from a life long ailment :
" Ever since I can remember I have suffered from
weak action of the heart. For some time pest it
grew constantly worse, reducing my health to a
very low etate. I frequently had such sharp pains
under my heart that I WAS fearful if I drew a long
breath it would cause death. In going upstairs I
hadto stop to rest and regain breath. When my
children made a noise while playing I would be GO
overcome with nervonenees and weakness that I
could not do anything and had t� sit down to regain
composure. 0 tsntimee my heart would seem to
ewell, and give me great IQ.i My limbs were un-
neturally cold, and I was subject t3 nervous head-
aches and dizziness,. My memory became unces
tain and eleep deserted me.
I hays been taking Milburn'S' Heart and Nerve
Pills, which I got at Mr. Fear's drug store, and as a
result are very much better. I have improved in
health and strength rapidly singe commencing this
treitment. The blessleg of Weep is restored to me.
My heart is much stronger, and -the oppressive sen-
sation in it hits vanishid. I can now go upstairs
without stopping and with thegreatest of ease, and
I no longer suffer from dizziness or headache. It
seems to me the circulation nf my blood has be-
come healthy and normal, thereby removing the
coldness from my limb.. lean truly say that Mil.
burn's Heart and Nerve Pills have done me a world
tot good." (Signed) Mrs. James Cons able, Seaforth,
