Shriek not from suffering, ^ach dear blow, From which thy smitten spirit bleeds, Is bot a messenger' to show ike renovation which it needs. The earthly sculptor smites- the rock ; Loud the relentless'hammer rings ; And from the rude,- unshapeu block, At length, imprisoned beauty brings. Thou art that rude, usshapen stone ; And wai test, till the arm of sti ife Shall make its crucifixions-known, And suiite'and-carve thee into life. The Heavenly Sculptor works on thee ; Be Patient. Soon His arm of might, Shall from thy prison's darkness free, \And change thee to a form of light. Faitee in Personal Nobility. \ BY MARGARET ?. SAXGSTER, .Said that wise old Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius, 'Whatever any one does or says, I must-be good, just as if the gold or the emerald or the purple were always saying this, 'I must be emerald, and keep my color." 2$o sharper experience of pain can c?me to~a' sensitive human soul than the feeling which is thc expression of j defeat in such a resolve as this. To | have consciously failed in an enterprise j is mortifying* to a perfecly just and de- j Sensible pride-. But if the enterprise j belong to the external world of effort, j many things, some apparent, some bid- j den, some accidental, and some i mpossible j to1 guard against, may militate towards j its-faiiure. When you have" done your j best it is weak to lament over disap- j pointment, because sooner or later j everybody must meet disappointment, i and accept it as part of life's neccessary j discipline. It is inevitable, for in- : stance, that now and then the stove ' shall refuse to draw, and the dinner j shall be* spoiled now and then, the dress you have cut according to pattern j and- measure shall prove an ill-fitting in- j stead of a well-fitting garment. Occas- ! ionally, be you never so successful, your I picture shall remain unsold, your book j shall be passed over unread, your ser- ' mon shall miss its mark, and your care- j ful article shall be returned with thanks j Of course a momentary regret is natu- ! ral and pardonable; but unless you are i of fibre tough enough to stand with j cheerful front, aud receive disappoint-1 ments of this kind, you will be left Be- j bind in the battle of life where ail' mast strive. The failure to do and Be'noble, when the occasion has arisen, the failure to be one's highest self, the sense- of fall? ing sfi?i^of one's own ideal, is failure of a j different and! far more pitilessly humili?t- j ing sort than the otbe?y Every charac- j ter has the defects of its\best qualities, j ?nd often our greatest wea%ff&sjLUea- in-f the direction of our own greatest j strength. A man of positive and de- i termined nature, fulL of courage, fall of j self-assertion, i's more in danger of j being^iatolerant, cruel, and needlessly! arrogant, than a man of more timid pud i calculating temperament can be. A ! woman, gracious, tender, of fautless j tact, and natural amiability, is in peril j of drifting on the social shoals of insin- j cerity and of untruth, as her neighbor of | much less sweetness is not. To ber, and j not to her neighbor, comes t he tem pta- j tion to agree with the brilliant sophistry j wfrrc& does not convince her reason, lest j she shal? hurt the feelings of the j sophist ; to absorb the atmospheric j qualities*of the people with whom she j finds-herself, and in fact to be all things ! to all men, in a way which is reprehen-1 sible, because it involves indirection, j The hand which drew Tito Melema, the ! beautiful hypocrite, was the hand of-i genius. And it was with a keen in- i sight into the soul experiences of men ! that George Eliot wrote, "The worst; drop of bitterness can never be wrung on to our lips from without; the lowest depth of resignation is not to be found in martyrdom ; it is only to be found when we have covered our heads in silence, and felt, 'I a?ia aot worthy to be a martyr ; the truth shall prosper, but not by me/ * To have had the opportunity to have spoken a wcrd for the Master, and al? lowed it to pass with the word unspoken ; to have sat by when a sneer was utter? ed against what was to you holy, and have been too pusillanimous to rebuke the insult by look or speech ; to have been less than you expected of yourself, less than your Lord at his coming shall have a right to expect of you, this is to know a darkness that may be felt. It is a matter of little moment in this world of change, how people behave to? wards you. Friends may drop away, you may suffer injustice*; you may meet with cold looks and be forgotten where you had thought to have been remem? bered. After ail, these iocidents are too transient to be cared for deeply. It is a matter of great moment that you behave loyally, purely, unselfishly, and forgivingly. So that your Master shall not be wounded by you, in the house of his friend. Having said this, there remains to be said, that too much introspection is apt to lead- to morbid aud unwholesome results. Should we spend our time in looking too constantly at our imperfect selves, life would sink Into a sitting in sackcloth and ashes. Wc must look for help, for peace, and for divine di? rection, to One whose compassions fail not, and who knoweth our frame, and remembereih that we are dust. One Hundred Miles an Hour. The second locomotive of the Fon? taine patent bas just been turned out of the Grar.t Locomotive Work? at Pater? son, and is now being tested on the New York," Lake Erie and Western Railroad. The machinery of this en? gine is all above the boiler. A big pair of driving wheels rest on a small set below, moving them by friction, so that when the upper pair is going at thc rate of sixty miles an hour, the lower pair is- carrying the locomotive U the rate of ninety miles. The first locomotive of the kind turoed out, it is said, ma<ie ?inety miles on hour with casu on a Canadian railroad. Tho inventor en? thusiastically predicts that one will be driven at tho rate of one hundred miles an hour. A test-for speed will be made in a day or two.-New York Sun. --- lie that would see our religion iu its native simplicity, purity and glory must study the character of our Lord and Savior. Whatever you dislike in another person, take care to correct in yourself. Intemp?rance.. AU nations have some form of ?h j tox?cat?ng drink; and from- neatly J every one of the ordinarily innocent j and wholesome frai'8 of the earth a j deadly, devouring and'almost'infernal j fluid can be distilled'. Alcohol lins ! its uses and so has whisky, brandy j and wine. It is only by perversion that they are constituted greater de trcycrs of human life than all the com? binations of war, pestilence and famine. Battle kills tlie material-sub? stance ol man ; so does pestilence and so does (amine. Intoxicating liquors not only slay the body, but j they warp and often dethrone the in? tellect and imperil the souls of their victims. Are these words emphatic ones? Indeed they are. Are they veracious ones? Who shall deny them ? Saint Augustine, who had irad profuse experience of the world's wickedness in early life, said of drunkenness that it was "a flattering devil, a sweet poison, a pleasant sin, which whosoever hath, hath not-him? self; which whosoever doth commit' doth not commit sin, but- he himself is wholly sin." One of the foremost of criminal Jawyers in the United States declared to the writer that but for- intemperance there would be hardly a case in Court involving mur? der and such capital offenses. The story is an old but good one that a man had his selection of various hein? ous offenses, inchufing drunkenness, :and chose tho last- because he, in so ocrcess, shrank- in horror from the others. Ho became a drunkard and fell into every other sin that he thought to avoid. When once the vice of habit of intemperance has seized upon a matt it is the death knell to industry, to honorable en? deavor, to love of virtuous society, to communion with Heaven, to domestic peace and all the lovely and redeem? ing things of life. Ail is clmos, accident, wavering, poverty, wretch? edness, the overthrow of character, the dreadful death-bed and the sad? dest of sepulchres. According to Edward Everett, ibo use of intoxica? ting liquors- lias cost thc United States a direct expenditure of $600, 000,000, and an indirect expendituie equally great. It has destroyed 800,000 lives, It> has sent 100,000 le? the poor house. It has consigned at least 150,000 to jails ami peniten? tiaries. It has made 1,000 maniacs. It has instigated 1,500 murders, lt has caused two thousand suicides It has destroyed $10,000,000 worth of property, lt has made two hun-1 dred thousand widows and one hun-1 dred thousand orphans. These are \}IH figures of twenty years ago. The statistics of to-day would swell that appalling list far beyond the above computation, for the vice is on the increase- and its consequences grow more arid more terrible. The Bible tells us that we shall "quench not the spirit.'7 Nothing so effectually dark? ens the mimi ami "extinguisTies the Divine spark as strong drink indulged in to excess. Some moralists GOD- ! tend that the habitual drunkard as j effectually commits suicide as if he j had used the dagger, the pistol or j the bowl to "shuffle off this mortal ? coil." Every consideration of com roeu sense, of morality, of health, of prudence, of happiness here and ! hereafter, appeals to men whose | bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit j that they shall ?ee from drunkenness j as they would from the Evil One. 1 How often have we been called to mourn for friends who had qualities to ennoble themselves and others, but whose usefulness was obliterated by this awful habit. In every communi? ty there are only too many examples' yet lingering of the truth of these expressions, and, in every communi ty, only too many graves are eloquent with warning to all who ''put a thief into their months to steal away their brains.77 It is the burning crime of the day. and no- missionary field is ? so promising of labor and reward. It j is true that discouragement awaits j all who work therein, but none the ! less is. it a duty that good men and I women can never escape. There are, I thank God ! many missionaries, whom I Heaven will bless,, and many victims I saved as brands from the burning. ! But much remains to be accomplished-, I by precept, by example and by I prayer. The brightest angels hover around the head of that man or woman who, without the sont vanity of reform, but with the tender hand of charity, seeks out the brother fallen by ihe wayside and rescues him from the wallow, to go forth into the world of men and spirits, clothed in his right mind and shaped in the image of a child of Gotl. - ? - V -U?
