REFUSING GREAT MUSICIANS. It is said that once Mendelssohn came to see the great Frieburg or gan. The old custodian refused him permission, not knowing who he was. At length, however, he reluctantly granted him leave to play a few. notes. Mendelssohn took his seat, and soon the most wonderful music was breaking forth from the organ. The custodian was spellbound. He came up beside the great musician and asked his name. Learning it, he stood humiliated, self-condemned,! saying, "And I refused you permis sion to play upon my organ!” There comes One to us and desires to take our lives and play upon them. But we withhold ourselves from Him, and refuse Him permission when if we would yield ourselves to Him, He would bring from our souls heav enly music.—Christian Index. INJUSTICE.

There is a Peace that cometh after sorrow, Of Hope surrendered, not of Hope fulfilled; A Peace that looketh not upon to morrow, But calmly on a tempest that is stilled. A Peace that lives not now in Joy's excesses, Or in the Happy Life of Love seeu-e, But in the unerring strength the heart possesses, Of conflicts won, while learning to endure. A Peace there is in sacrifice secluded, A life subdued from will and passion free; 'Tis not the Peace that over Eden brooded, But that which triumphed at Geth semane. —Gates. THE RAKE. A small, henpecked, worried-look ing man was about to take an ex amination for life insurance. "You don’t dissipate, do you?” asked the physician, as he made ready for tests.
