Rest-anddo you catch the thought, That for you this rest was bought ? Bought by death, and bought by pain, Paid by him who rose again. In the sacred book we find, We most be Christians sound in mind, We must work, and never faint, If we will rest with ancient saints. Not to live a life of rest Until our sun has reached the west, But to toil and labor hard, Like the ancient Wesleyan bard. For cares and pain, and life's sad clay Soon shall wane and pass away. Then the labors we have done, 'Shall be recompensed in the world to come. If we would rest in night's darn hour, Why we must work while we have power ; If we do not toil while the sun doth shine, We cannot rest at day's decline. If we would rest:along the way, We must learn to labor and to pray, For pray -we must,,and labor too, • If rest is gained by me and you, And when we reach that blissful shore, .Anel• time that..was.ls #Jirka. a9.mQ>se,. And hear the herald angel say, That heaven and earth have passed away And the great white throe appears, And the judge that looks kevere . To those who do not heed • The message of rest they so much need. Rest is sweet, and rest is sure, To those who faithfully endure, And trust and toil in heavenly power, And watch and wait the final hour. Clinton, May, 1880. For Sunday Reading. happy. If you have no work, find some. There is plenty of it waiting to be done, and you cheat the world as well as yourself by neglecting your share. Third, forget yourself. Much of our unhappiness comes from thinking too much about our pre- cious selves and our troubles, both real and possible, We magnify our importance and grow morbid over trifles, when we ought to be interested in other people, so healthful and sympathetic, that we shall have no time to brood over self and her misfortunes. Fourth, broaden your mind by as much iniellectual'culture as is possible to you. Narrow petty habits of thinking and doing generate discontent, bigotry, gos- sip and slander. Lastly, but by no means least, live the life of a conscientious Christian. Wo were never in- tended to be happy while disre- garding our first duties and neg- lecting their highest needs. Let us daily seek to conform our lives physically, mentally, inorally,and spiritually to the standards God has given us. ' Then shall oar conscience be at peace, and our. sleep both sweet and comfortable,' and happiness an abiding guest.— Household, . Very Candid Testimon . (From the Toronto Mail.) To the Editor of the Mail: As a eoniitaat'teader•rrf your paper -4 will thank you to insert the following: Having read so many valuable tes- timonials as to the value of Warder's Safe Cure. I think it my duty to con- tribute one, and I speak from actual knowledge. In 1883 my wife took pains across the kidneys, and from there to her shoulders and to the pit of the stomach. The skin came off her fin- ger ends and ,also off her lips, and turned purple red. She was under a doctors care for about three years, and took different medicines, but no re- lief came. I Eget disheartened, and said one day, "Will we try some pa- tent medicines ?" She said: "Jack; let me die; I have taken medi- cine enough." I went down to W Clark's drug store and procured two bottles of Safe Cure, and one of pills I continued on until she had taken eleven bottles, when she said; I need no more; I have no pain anywhere, and I feel myself again." My wife has never since suffered from those dreadful pains which she had before taking Warner's Safe Cure. I am sorry that in justice to the purveyors of that invaluable medicine I have not reported on it before, but never- theless I recommend it to every. hu- man being suffering with the same affliction. Yours, etc., J. Coors , Ligbtkeeper, Port Arthur. April 22 {Tne foregoing letter comes to us direct from Mr Cooper, without the knowledge of the purveyors of the tnedicine, unsolicited, and may•there- fore be considered as conscientious testimony.

A beautiful incident within our _.knowledge. impressed upon us •mora than even the fact that the divine message shall not fall to the ground void, but is mighty be- yond our comprehension through his power. A lady was sum- moned to the bedside of a -friend, the mother of the family, and whose mental faculties had be- come deranged. ' What could I say or do ?' she said: 'AU was wild with excitement; my heart wept over her, yet. I had no power to calm her, or do her good. But I felt for her so deeply that I could not leave her without one .whisper of comfort. I bent above her and said softly : ' Underneath are the 'everlasting arms!' It seemed as though she glanced up at the words—hers was a Chris- tian life=but she showed no,sign 'of comprehension, -and I left her, believing to whisper 'unheard.' But hours after, to that delirium ' there came a lucid interval, and in that period of quiet, what were the words that the invalid spoke 1 ' Underneath are the everlasting arms !'. Amid all- the strange fancies of that restless brain, that one text of heavenly calm bad been victorious, 'and reached to heart and memory.—Quiver.

'Well," said the listener, "What do you use now?" "iJse," was the reply, "nothing but common sense and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

PALLISER & CO., A SURPRISED JOKER. • A laughable but rather embar- rassing ease t,f mistaken identity occurred the other day in one of Boston's largest retail ,stores. A gentleman who is a little too fond of joking, entered the store for the purpose of meeting his wife at a certain counter. Sure enough, there stood a lady dressed, to his eye at least, just like the woman he was after. Her back was turned and no one was near her; so he quietly ap- proached, took ho by the arm, and said, in a voice of simulated severity : ' Well, here you are, spending my money as usual, eb?' The face turned quickly toward him was not his wife's; it was that of an acrid, angry, keen -eyed woman of about 50 years, who attracted the attention of every- body in that part of the store by saying in'a loud, shrill voice:: 'No, I flint spend n' your money nor no other man's money, and ' I beg your pardon, madam,' cried the confused gentleman, 'I supposed you were my wife and—' Wi 11 ;lust dist -3-oiir �v fs; nor no other man's wife, thank fortune, to be jawed at every time I buy a yard of ribbon l I pity your wife, if you go round shak- ing her like you did me. If I was her, I'd--' Tho chagrined joker waited to bear no more, but made his way out of tho shop amid the titters and sly chuckles of those who had witnessed his confusion. THE HOPE SET BEFORE US. The eyes of faith do not look inward ; but, like eyes of flesh, they look outward. In believing, we are not to look at ourselves, but. at Jesus Christ, In fact, we are not required to believe this or that about ourselves. Least of all, are wee told to believe that our sing are forgiven. The pardon of sin is something to be known, not merely believed. If our sins are forgiven, we know it through the witness of the Holy Spirit; if they are not forgiven, our believ- ing that they are will not alter the fact. Instead of trying to be- lieve that our sins are forgiven, we are to 'believe on ;the Lord Jesus Christ' in;,order that they may be forgiven. By whatever figure justifying faith is illustrnt- -=� tili�-rdeit is sp most : ffilth takes us out of ourselves, and takes off our thoughts from our- selves. The serpent -bitten Israel- ite' was not healed by looking at himself. Ho was not told to ban- dage the wound, and' watch it carefully, and try to. persuade himself that the poison had been counteracted, and the bite would soon bo healed, But he was told to look quite away from the wound to the brazen serpent; and in thus looking he lived.—Wes- leyan Tract. IIOW TO BE HAPPY. First, be healthy. There aro some people who, sustained either by religion, philosophy or tem- perament, seem to be able to bear sickness with serenity, cheerful- ness, and even mirth ; but most of us are rendered miserable in- deed by any inharmonious action of physical organizations. At such times work seems a curse, earth a desert and life an intolerable burden. Under such circumstanc- es it seems a sin to be sick, and in most cases this is doubtless true. Many ..of our common ail: ments might easily be avoided by more carefully conforming our, babits to the inexorable laws of nature. But wo aro either too indifferent, lazy or fashionable to, keep ourselves as well aswo might, and herein lies the sin of being sick, consequently unhappy. Second, have an object in life. We were made reasonable beings, an,d it was'noVer intended that we ..should live an aimless, butterfly existence, and still be satisfied and T. GRANGER STUART, M. L., F. R.S.E.q Ordinary Physician to II. M., the Queen, in Scotland, Pro- fessor of Practice of Physic in the University of Edinburgh, writes : 'Acute bronchitis is common, es- pecially in the advanced stages of Bright's disease, and fends to pass into tho chronic state, Phthisis (consumption) in its various forms is found occasionally associated with these renal (kidney) affec- tions. It usually proves fatal while the renal malady is yet in, its early stage.' It thus becomes evident that- consumption and bronchitis are intimately associ- ated with kidney disease, and Warner's Safe Cure should be talc en early in the disease to prevent the damaging influence the kid- ney malady exerts upon tbe res- piratory organs.
