THE WONDEROUS BLESSING.
BY D. RAND l'IERCE.
There was a thirstil)g in my soul,
A hunger in my .brea'Bt;
-- aloifgirig- stilliirisatisfied --
For sweet, unbroken rest;
I knew not how to find if then-
Praise God, I do today!
The precious; all-atoning blood
Has w.ashed my sin a'Y:ay.
For I , hope. ihat I
Might full salva,titm win;
.That such a '.blessing could _be mine
While in th.is world of sin;
But when I consecrated all,
And vowed the world to tell,
With waves of peace and purity
The fire from heaven fell!
'Twas not for aught that I had done
The wonderous blessing came;
Mydearth of toii and sacrifice
Had filled my heart with shame;
'Twas Jesus, who, for.suc'li as- I; -
,. all u pol! the tree! , "'
Whose tears 'and blood in anguish f:lowed
To cleanse and make me free!
So now my soul delights itself
In Canaan's richest spoil;
.. Grows fat on honey, milk and grapes,
Andcorn andwirie and oil;
And, oh the blessed'victory
That keeps my soul aflame,
Since that sweet day the Comforter
Into my poor heart caine!
-Beulah Christian.

A REMARKABLE ILLUSTRATION.
I kept for nearly a year the flask-
shaped cocoon of an emperor moth.
It is very peculiar in its construction.
A narrow opening is left in the neck
of the flask, through which the per-
fect insect forces its way, so that ' a
forsaken cocoo;n is as entire as one
still tenanted, ri'o rupture of the inter-
lacing fibers having taken pl'ace. The.
g reat disproportion between the means
of egress and the size of the impris-
oned insect makes one wonder. how
the exit is ever accomplished at all,
and it never is without great labor
and difficulty. It is supposed thatthe
pressure to which the moth's body is
subjec-ted in passing through su(!h a
. narrow opening is a provision . of
nature f or' forcing the juices tnto the
vessel!) of the wings, these being less
developed at the period of -'emerging
from the chrysalis than they are in
other insects. I happened to witness
the first efforts of my prisoned moth
to escape from its long confinement.
