Other jjeople have their faults, And bo have ye as well; But all ye chance to soo or hear Ye have no right to tell; If ye oanna speak o* good. Take care, and aee and feel; Earth has all too much o' woo And not enough o'weal, i Be earefnl that ye make nao strife . Wi' meddling tongue and brain, For ye will find enough to do If ye hut look at hame. If ye should feol Iiko picking flaws,' Yo hotter go, I ween. And road the book thai tolls yo all About the note and beam. Dinna lend a ready ear To goesip or to strife, Or, perhaps, 'twill mako for yo ' Mae funny thing of lifo. Ob, dinna add to others' woe, Nor mock It with your mirth, But give yo kindly sympathy To Buffering ones of oarth. If yo cauua spunk o' good, ?h dinna speak at all, For there is grief and woo enough On this terrestrial ball. Tlio Seven Sleeper*?The Legend Kl. plained* For moro than one thousand years the legend of tho Seven Sleepers has been told in pions aong und story. "Wbo wore these Seven Sleepers? Is it only a monkish legend, nn invention of the "dark ages?'' Or is the story true, or has it at least a historical basis? It was in tho year of our Lord 250 that Decius, tho most inhuman of all the Roman Emperors in bis persecu? tion of the Christians, iu making a tour through bis provinces, arrived at Epbesus, in Asia Minor. Christianity bad already obtained a foothold here, although the great majority of tho people still adhered to the heathen re? ligion. Upon his arrival, the Empe? ror ordered a sacrificial festival to be held in honor of Jupiter, Apollo and Diana. In this festival, every oue waB commanded to take part, under pe? nalty of incurring the imperial dis pleasuro in case of refusal. Among the Christians of the city wore seven yonths, descendants of noble families. The names of six of them were Maxi? milian, Malobus, Diouytuus, Joannes, Serapio and Gonysius. Theso deter* mined to die rather tbau to obey the mandate. As eoon as Decius beard of their determination, be commanded them to be brought before him. "Go," said he, "and procure incenBO, that yon may offer to the highest powers." "The Highest Power," they replied, "baa His throne in the heavens, and is tho living and Al? mighty God, who hath created Heaven and earth. Him wo worship, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and we can never again bow down to dumb idols that are nothing." With terrible glance, the Emperor measures the youthful confessors. Then suddenly changing his manner, he endeavors to win them by bis pro? mises and bis arguments. Failing to attain his object by threats and pro? mises, he tells them that bo will gra? ciously accord them timo to consider their resolution until ho should again return to Epbesus, and informs them of the terrible consequences if they should still continue their stubborn resistance. With a calm courage, the young men departed from the pre? sence of the Emperor. By the citi? zens of Epbesus, they were pro? scribed; by many, however, secretly admired. Determined not to renounce their faith, they, howover, decided to avoid the mouster as much as possible. With this objeot, they betook them? selves to a range of mouutains iu the neighborhood of Epheeus. There they discovered a oave, the entrance to which was concealed with thick foliago. In this cave they hid thomsdlves, and one of their number, Malohus, the one least known iu thisoity, was appointed to supply them with food. Tho day of tho Emperor's return ar? rived. One of the first questions was concerning "the stubborn youths." "They have escaped," was the reply. Bat their concealment had been dis? covered. Spies had followed them, and purchased the Emperor's favor by revealing the place of concealment. Decius, knowing well that he oonld not hope to change the purposo of the yonths, gave command to olose the month of the cave with a wall, and thns olose tbem in a tomb. No sooner said than done. There was one man, how? ever, wbo, though still a beatben, had heard the Gospel, and was not far from the kingdom of God. Desiring that fnrther generations might know whose hones rested there, he took a roll of parchment, and, writing on it the names of the yonths and an account of their courageous bearing, enclosed it in an iron casket, ?od, unobserved by Ihe workmen, Blipped it into the cave, and then quietly Witkdrew\ Many a Booffiog "good night" was called after thorn by the brutal populaoe that even? ing in the streets of Epbesns. Many a tender "good night" did the Christiana Bend after them in tbeir prayers. And He who preserved David in the cave of Adulham, and rescued Daniel from tbe den of lions, beard tbeir prayer. The light of day hud for them faded away. But they remembered, "Ho giveth His beloved sleep." They lay themselves down and slept. Soft is their 6lumbor, and no danger is nigb. It is as tbongh holy angels had en? camped round about them. Wo will loavtj iheui to their bleep, and write over tbem on the dark rock tho words ! of David: "How excellent is thy lov? ing kindness, O Godl therefore, tbe children of men put their trust under tbo shadow of thy wings." Timo passes on swift winge. Generations como and go lika phantom spirits. Abont 187 years later wo are again iu Ephesus. Bat bow cuuuguu is the scene! Decius, the tyrant, is moidering in bis grave. Tbe world is completely chunged. A wealthy land owner desires to make some improvements in bis estate. In searching for suitable building ma? terial bo finds on old wall witb large square stones. Tbe blocks aro easily removed, and tbo mouth of a oavo is revealed. It is tho oavo of tbo Seven Sleepers, whose history bnd long sinoo pasEcd into oblivion. The rays of light entering for tbo first time after so many years, awakened tho yontbs. They thanked God that deliverance bad come so soon. For they supposed but a single night bad pussed since tbey were immured. Malcbus was again scut to tbo city for bread. But the way seemed very strango to him. And what was bis ns tonisbmcut to find over tho very gates, of tbo city a glittering cross. Iu tbe city itself, bo oan scarcely trust his senses. Tbo images of tho gods were removed. In tho place of tho bent hen temple bo notices buildings witb proud domes and glittering croFses, and iu tbo forum bo bears the witnesses swear by tbe omnipotent God; yes, cveu by the name of Christ, instead of Diana and Apollo. Ho thinks it is a dream. Accosting a man on tho street, ho asks bim tbo name of tho city. "The name of tbe city is Epbesus," wns tbo reply. "Cau it bo tbnt this is Ephesus, where J but a few duys ago we were proscribed | by tbo imperial edict," was tbo thought ! of Malchus. But mindful of Iiis er? rand, be eulercd a baker's shop and oilers iu payment for broad a silver coin. Tbo baker took tho coiu and carefully examined it: "This is a very ancient coin," bo id be; "why, it bears the imugc of Decius. Where did you obtain it?" "Where is Decius?" was tbe roply of Malcbus. "lias be left tbe city, and if so, where?" The baker aud tho crowd tbnt bnd gathered in tho meantime looked at Malcbus, and seemed to regard liim as one who bud lost bis reason. One o? them de? manded to kuow where ho bud diso?;- 1 vored tho hidden treasure. Finally Malcbus was taken before thti bishop of the city. Tho bishop was a reve? rend aud dignified mm. Iu a kiud manner bo asked Malchus who be was and whence ho came. Malcbus replied that be was ono of tho seven youths who hud recently bec? immured iu the grotto at the command of tbo Emperor Decius, but that tho Lord their God bad again given them light and free? dom. "Tbe Emperor Decius? It is ue .rly 200 years since Decius sat upou tbe throne. Mauy Emperors have reigned Biuce theu. Theodosins now reigns by the grace of God. Heathendom bus long binco fallen. Tbo cross is every? where victorious. But tell me, where are your six companions? Shotv us the cave." Thus spoke tbe bishop. And Malcbus Jed bim to tho cave, fol? lowed by an immenso concourse of Christiaus. Iu tho cave they found tbo irou casket with the parchment roll, containing n full account of their history. For two centuries the youths bad slept, aud now 11103" awoke to sue a rogeneratetl world. Tho bin hop hast? ened to sood an account of the matter to Theodosius nt Constantinople. The Emporor himself hastened to Epbesns to behold tiiu wonder. But tho youths, obedient to an inner voice, iu the sumo hour that Malcbus returned, bad again laid down, and tbo Lord took t.'o.ir souls to Henveu. One op thf.

Oh, good news' Eoligiou is love to God?lovo with bead up and heart open, love with tho confidence of children. My thought of religion is that a soul shall oomu ml 11 blossom, bloom, rejoice, radiato. Go to church and be social?not as ghosts. Ask about tbo neighbor aud tbo family. Como smiling, como cheerful, come with good feeliugs. One of the effects of the church is to make Sunday a eooial day, as it Bboald be, in the family. .1 remember very well, when I waked up 00 Sunday morniug once, and my brother Charles lay in tho trnndlo bed cear by mo. I In-guii to make rabbits out of tho cottou in in? bed quilt, and the thought Hashed acrosB mo that it was Sunday. "Charles," I eaid, "it's Sunday." We ducked down under the coverlid aud blanket, and expected to bo struck dead. Shut up a child as I was?mer? curial, norvous, changeable?in a bouse on Suuday, ob, bow gloomy! Hooked at the flies, ate gingerbread and cake, tried to read a book I nover could un? derstand. My father was too busy to attend to children, and my second mother was good but severe, and my Sunday was the* gloomiest day of all the week. How t watjahed for the ton to go down. -I atooa by the large dining-room window and watched the great red orb descend, and it never seemed to be so lazy as on that day; and when its glimmer was gone, I jumped and cried, "Sunday's gone! Sunday's gone! Sunday's gone!" [From his Last Sunday Evening's Talk. "No oburch is too weak," says the New York Mail, "to take up a collec? tion."
