Why should the frosty breath of Heaven The frees flower lay low; While yet In bud it reared its head, And balmy where blow?

Have their glad answer given : They show us all things pass away, And point us up to Heaven.

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.

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." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by going to the root of the disease. They renew and build up the blood, and strengthen the nerves'thue driving dieease from the sys- tem.

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 cul.eirricuritmah,. The far, simile slgastnil Of h es • IfIraPPas trisry 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 no spring chicken." • 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. Don't use the wheel to dishonor the l4wd, our loving Saviour.. -German Refortned Messenger. Do Trees "Know." It is sometimes hand to understand how the roots or shoots of plants are able to do what they do in their apparent search for water or light, without special consciousness maintelligence ' • and yet we know that they possess no suchqualities. 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.

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 s "Thou heat been faithiul in a little thing ; now I see I can true p thee in great things. Henceforth thou :shalt stand at my right hand." - I i The Usual Result.

' 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."
