THE SUFFERER'S SONG.

Ciperience of a l'arty of Tourists Over the Sen-A Christian's Hope and luspiration.

On the way to the Lakes of Killarney says the Christian Life. a party of tonr. ists heard a sound of singing in a little farmhouse by the roadside. It was a mau's voice in a tenor so marvelous- ly sweet that the strangers halted some time to listen The strains traversed the whole compass of feeling, from soaring triumph to the murmur of a mother's lullaby.

"Oh. if I could hope ever to sing like that !" said one of the company, a young student of music.

A girl came out of the cottage with a basket on her arm, and as she passed the wagon with a courtesy, a wish to know the vocal genius the south of Ireland had hidden away prompted a question from the same young man. "Will you kindly tell us who it is that sings so beautifully ?"

"Yes, sir, it's my Uncle Tim." said the ] careful not to make the least noise. Is girl. "He's after havin'n bad turn with there any drug which produces wake- fulness?

his leg, and so he's just singin' away the pain the while."

For a moment the astonished tour- ists did not know what to say. Here was an example of the melody of pa- tieuce:

the angulsh of the sinner

Made the sweetness of the strain. Then one asked, tenderly: "Is he

young? Will he get over the trouble ?" "No. he's gettin' a bit old now, and the doctors say he'll never he the bet. ter in this world; but." she added softly. "he's that heavenly good it

would near make yon cry to see him. with the tears rollin' down his cheeki with the pain, and then it is that he sings the loudest."

Somehow the listeners thought 01 the eternal city, and they drove on slow . y, as if their wheels were pressing its streets,

"God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes," quoted one of the ladies "and there shall be no more pain." More seldom mentioned, but equally beautifni, is a kindred elevation of spirit that lends cheer to extreme poverty and toil. A writer in the Watchman, passing through one of the narrow lanes, noticed a poor old scrub. woman on her hands and knees scour- ing a floor, while she sang:

"And 1 shall see Him face to face, And tell the story: "Saved by grace." " Heavenly hope is not a creature of circumstances, hut sorrow and priva. tion seems adapted to its culture. It is darkness that brings out the night- ingales. And contrasted with the pro- fane rage that frets and curses un- der distress, what a sweet and wise philosophy is singing patience! - Youth's Companion.

SERMONS IN BRIEF.

Oh, the littleness of the lives that we are living! Oh. the way in which we fai. to comprehend. or, when we do comprehend, detty ourselves the big- ness of that thing which it is to be a man. to be a child of God !- Phillips Brooks.

The possibilities of earth are great er thun we are ready to allow. It is not lleaven, but to the faithful soul 11 is the gate of Ifraven. Who shall de spise n school taught by the Holy Spirit of Giod? Who shall think light iy of a house where God abides?

Interrupted.

They were seated in the parlor, and he was declaring his love in fervent tones. All at once she stopped him with an imperious gesture, nnd a look of pain overspread her countenance. "Wait! wait!" she exclaimed in thort, sharp tones.

Broken Bric-A-Bracs.

Mr. Major, the famous cemeut mau, of New York, explains some very interest. ing facts about Major's cement. The multitudes who use this standard article know that it is many hmmudred per cent. better than other cements for which similar claims are made, but a great many do not know why. The simple reason Is that Mr Major uses the best materials ever discovered and other man- ufacturers do not use them, because they are to expensive and do not allow large profits, Mr. Major tells us that one of the elements of his cement costs $3.73 a pound, and another cost $2.65 a gallon while a large share of the so called ce ments and liquid glue, upon the market are nothing more than lo cent glue, di solved in water or citric acid, aud in some cases, altered slightly in color and oder by the addition of cheap and useless materials. Major's coment retails at fif- teen and twenty-five cents a bottle. and when a dealer tries to sell a substi tute you can depend upon it that his only object is to make a larger profit The profit ot Major's cement is as much as any dealer ought to make ou any Ce. ment. Aud this is doubly true in view of the fact that each denler gets his share of the benefit of Mr. Major's advertising which now amonuts to $5000 a month, throughont the conutry. Established in 1876.

NOT A PRIZE WINNER

THIS couple of whom I write had married for tove 20 years ago. He had been rway for two months in the city on business and she decided to visit h.in in the sutunr reason. She had arrived the evening be Tore. The next morning. careless.y turning over his letters, a dozen or more lying ppen on has tobe, she picked up une without ar elve.ope, and written in his well-known handwriting. She thought perhaps it war vue she had returned to h.m for reference By this time the letter was unfolded and she observed that the beginning was care fully cut away, leaving no name. This war what the read:

My own dearest: At dusk I thought the battle won-but no! I had prayed that you would rescind the decree that "It cannot be. prayed as I had never prayed before-but your ca.m, still eyes, as they looked tenderly upon me, had left no hope within me that you would field.

And we must part-you and I?

Down through the vista of a.l the year: to come I must be alone?

And you? You who have stirred my soul to its depths as no other woman has ever done-will there be no answering throt through the chasms of space that divide us! Am I never to hold you in my arms again kiss your eyes-your lips-your hair? Must it only be across the border land of ternity that our spirits may commune? Oh, my beloved, give me but one small flower to cherish, one that has lain in sweet complacence on your gentle bosom, that has felt your heart beats as I, and I shall put my ear to it, and listen, and in fancy 1 again chali hear, and my eyes again shall see the rise and fall, as that some heart stirred ite dainty petals. The odor will again be the sweet fragrance of you, dear, and no more I will be alone. The rose you wore last night? May I hope for it ? Farewell, you whom I love. Y-
