[From the Guardian.]
An Indian came to the room of the

all covered with blood and said he had
been cut with a knife in the hands of
another Indian. He was taken to Dr.
Peacock, who kindly dressed his
wound, and pronounced it not fatal,
necessarily.
One hundred teams and one hundred

Don't Fret.
Dou't fret, for a fretful Christian ig
like a prickly pear, bitter within and
irritating without. God says, "Oast
all your care on Me, for I care for you."
"No you don't," says the fretting
Christian, "and so I'll fret over my
cares."
Oon't fret, for you are a witness for
Christ. What is your testimony worth
if your fretting contradicts His words,
"My yoke is easy and My burden Is
light?"
Don't fret, though your lot Is hard
and your troubles many, for your Lord
was oppressed and afflicted, yet as a
lamb led to the slaughter, "He opened
not His mouth."
Don't fret, for fretting, instead of
relieving from trouble, will lay on you
Heavier burdens. As fear slays more
persons thau cholera, so fretting kills
more than real care.
Don't fret, for God controls all things
that are or will be, and among these
are your troubles. Instead of fretting,
"count it all joy when ye fall into
divers trials," for "tribulation work
eth patience, and patience experience,
and experience hope, and hope maketh
not ashamed, because tbe love of God
is shed abroad iv our hearts." Instead
of fretting, study that logic—and re
joice in God.
Dou't fret, for God's providence gov
erns all things. Consider the hairs of
your head, the fowls of the air, the
lilies of the field. Thus stay your
heart on God, aud you shall be kept in
perfect peace.— Southern Presbyterian.

SUNDAY READING.
[Selected for Sunday's HERALD.]
TILL HE COMES.
" Till He come"—oh! lot the words
Linger oh the trembling «"»rds;
Let the ' little while" between
In their golden light b3 seen;
Let us think hew Heaven ami noun;
Lie beyond that " Till He come."
When the weary ones we love
Enter on their rest above,
seems tho earth so poor ami vast,
All our Itfe-ioy overcast ?
Hush! be every muimur dumb;
it is only "Til! He come."
.Clouds and conflict* round ns piesei
Would we have one sorrow less?
All tbeehardneas of the cross,
All that tells the world is loss-
Death and darkness and the tomb,
Only whispers, " Till He come."
See! the feast of love Is spread;
1 M in k the wine and break tlie bread.
Sweet memorials, till the Lord
Calls us 'round His heavenly board,
Some from earth, from glory some,
Sevei'd only "Till He come."
— E. H. Bickkkstkth.
I
REST.
There is no feeling more common
perhaps, than that of having no time
to rest. In the busy, busy lives of
those who are, in any sense of the
word, workers—especially in our own
laud, where everything conspires to
quicken our nervous energies to the
utmost—there seems little room for re
pose. From year's end to year's end,
with the exception of an occasional
day, or a fortnight in the Summer,
hand and brain keep on, doing their
utmost, till by and by health wanes,
nie.ital pi\>.-,tjaiiuii ensues, ami in
some way nature makes its reprisals.
The brilliant student who carries off
tlie prize at the school examinations
not unfreqtiently tnisses them in the
sterner competitions of life. The
overworked professional man dies of
exhaustion midway to the summit of
success. The merchant who pours his
life into profit and loss, and balances
bis accounts in his dreams, falls a vic
tim to paralysis or apoplexy. "I can
not take time to sleep," says the am
bitious toiler, pressing on to the goal
and the crown of the future, heedless
of the day when he shall seek sleep and
find it tiying from his pillow. Over
tasked fathers and mothers set to their
children—inheritors of their own ex
cited brains and uncertain nerves—ex-
amples of fretfulness and impatience.
In early-lined brows arid early-fading
bloom we see the effects of too much
hurry, too little rest.
God sometimes sends an "enforced
pause." It comes in the shape of a
trouble, and fever, an unforeseen
journey, perhaps—what we call an ac
cident —and we are taken out of our
ordinary lives and obliged to stop.
From the confines of the sick-room the
world recedes. Tlie carea that loomed
so large to our sight yesterday seem to
have gone away indefinitely. The
things that we thought nobody else
could do must be done by somebody,
and it seems to us strange that we felt
ourselves so important. Our vacation
has come—not the one we wanted, or
planned for, or intended, but the best
for us, boause God has put it into our
lives—and he makes no mistakes.
There are fathers who would, strange
as it may seem, and wrong as it is,
never get acquainted with much but
their children's faces, if they were not
now and then kept at home for a few
days by illness. There are mothers
who, in their anxiety for their chil
dren's dress and deportment and cul
ture, lose sight of the souls that they
possess, till some sharp wind of
sorrow blows the mists from their
eyes, and they feel that "tlie life is
more than meat and the body than
raiment." In the hour of convales
cence the book is read that has been
awaiting an interval of leisure; the
song is listened to that the little
daughter has learned at school; the
buds on the rose bush in tbe window
are counted and exulted over; some
thing kind and sweet is planned to he
done for the neighbor. Not
in vain bus the Lord sent his pause
into the whirl and the hurry and tlie
tumult in which the hours and days
were passing.
If we could, for ourselves, recognize
the fact that, to work well, we should
save ourselves the necessity of many
an hour of pain. One of the meretri
cious phrases that has wrought the
mischief with many of us is that fa
miliar one, " Better wear out than
rust out." If there were auy real an
tithesis involved here —if one, not
wearing out, must needs rust and be
come useless—there might be sense in
words like these. Hut the fact is, that
half of us wear out before we have
done any real earnest work, and some
of us rust even while we are trying to
do our be»st. We shall most truly
serve our Master when we are physi
cally and mentally at .our best. And,
therefore, we ought to secure every
day, even the most intensely active
days, some .golden space for solitude
and leisure.
Of one,whase gifted sons and daugh
ters have stamped their impress upon
their generation, it is said that, even
when moat occupied with the crowd
ing qares of a minister's wife in a
country parish, with the superintend
ence of a school for young ladies, aud
the duties that till a mother's heart
and hands, she found time every
morning for her. hour in the little
chamber upstairs, whence she would
come with a brow shining with the
peace of God. How often do we, who
have less to do, abbreviate our mo
ments of devotion, and so wear our
days with ragged edges and miss the
glory of God's sunlight from our
hearts! Keeping the vineyard of oth
ers, the refrain heats sadly on the ear,
" Mine own vineyard I have not kept;
not because I was too idle, but because
I tried to be too busy." Let us re
member that God himself has put dig
nity upon rest—that he has made it
the joy of the heaven we hope for; and
let us not chafe or be impatient when
lie enforces it ou us now.— Teacoer'B
