Tunnels in Our Lives. t (Proa the New York Observer.) I bave recently been reading tb? rei? tere aod diary of a pious-gifted yoong ?? Scotch 3ady, who waa ac io valid aod travelled abroad for ber bealtb. After barios described in ooo of ber letters, ber passage through the Moot Ceois tunnel, abe thus moralized : * We have tonase sometimes ia oar lives, long, dark pisses filled witb sadness and gloom, sod God does oot tell os what they mean-we could oot und erstand ; bot we wait, tad io good time corse the swoabirse aod abe flowers.' How well does thu accord with the experiences of the people of God gene* rally. Rarely.will you find one who bsa oot met with such passage-tunnels of greater or leas length, sod of more or leas darkness sod gloominess, in the pilgrimage of life. So was it with the saints of ancient times. So was it with Abraham io bia journey of three days with bia beloved Isaac to Mount Moriah. A dark tunnel all the way. Sowas it with Job during that sad period of bia history, of which we read io the book thai bears bis name. A long, dark, onslleviated oight was that. And so waa it oftentimes with David. How many were the dark passages io bis troubled life ? Not greatly onlike theirs has been tea experience of modero saints. Not oai&e was that of the yoong lady, from whom we bave quoted. Her illness waa to ber a long night of affliction. And for one cause and another, such | sights bave been eommon with the peo- | ale of God of all times and of all coon- ? tries. With some it bas come from sore bereavements : with some from frustrated p?aos and for 'purposes broken off,' aod with others ?om the T bidiDgs of their Father's race. They have walked io darkness, seeing no Hgbt. Bot, take courage, all ye benighted ?o4 troubled souls ; the dark tunnel will ore long be passed through, and yow will emerge from it amidst bright sad joyous scenes. To quote again from toe diary already mentioned : *Most beautiful day. However dark the days may be for a time, snosbine always comes again.' Fairer far than sunny Italy is that heavenly laud to? wards which you are journeying. Your days of gloom and sadness will all soon be past aod gone forever. Soon will 'esme the sunshine and the flow? ers,* the -never withering flowers.' Soo* will y o' j hare become an in habi? tons of -the city that bath no need of tte son, neither of the moon, to shine ia it : for the glory of God doth lighten j it, aod the Lamb b the light thereof.' AH rears forever wiped away, you shall dwell amidst the splendors of a cloud? less, eteraa) day. H.S. Church Anecdotes. Some people join the minister in? stead of joining the church. Wheo they discover a stranger in their fav? orite's pulpit, they sometimes rise Si aod go. oat. The old-fashioned etbodista used to say that such itine? rant worshipers bad 'heel religion* only. A few years ago, as a stranger rose io one of our city pulpits to begin the service, several of the congregation be? ga? to leave the church. He waa a lame man, and the pulpit waa located near the doors. '?Wait a moment, my friends/ said tbs preocber, 'till I get my hat, and I'll go-wiih you/ Dor? be came, limping, hat in hand tod left the ch ore h. This abrupt closing of the services taught the people that there was at least one minister who would not be treated with contempt. On a certain occasion, the eloquent Br. E. H. Chopin, being sick, was com? pelled to ask a friend to preach for him. As the stranger rose to announce the opening byra a, a score of persono Fose to CO OOS. Thia clergyman also was equal to such so emergency. 'All?' be said 'who esme bere to worship Dr. Gbspin will please leave DOW; ,031 thooe who came to worship God wiS fiog toe forty-third hymn.' Tba* (topped the ?xodos. Tinman who tas io him the eic men ts Of watte* tor Christ, will find a field The Ministry of Children. The late General Beckwith, so long the steadfast friend and benefactor of that most interesting people, the Waldenses of Piedmout, visited Eng? land while making plans for rebuilding some of the Waldensian churches, whose dilapitated condition made them unsuitable places for wosrhip. Con? versing on this subject in the house of a friend, his heart full of love to the dear people whose cause he was so eloquently pleading, be hardly noticed one of the children of the household, a little boy six or so ven years of age, who was present during the interview. As the tones of tbe General became more animated, the littie fellow paused in his play to listen. After a few mo? ments be disappeared from the room, but almost immediately returned. Timidly approaching the General, he said to bim at the same time extending bi? baud, *Sir, do you think this could help you build your church?* The Genera* looked down into the eager little fact and io to the outstretched band. In the beautiful eyes, looking straight into his own, be saw such a loving interest io the story he had told as strangely moved him. In the open palm was a penny-only a penny, but it was all the little fellow's fortune. Clasping the child in his arms, and taking into his own hand the offering I be had brought, General Beckwith said: 'Yes, my little friend, I will build my church with what you have given me, and your penny with your name engraved upon it, set in a corner stone shalt tell every one that you were the founder of it.' This little incident in the life of Gen? eral Beckwith was recalled to mind by reading, some time since, the touching story of the origin of a beautiful sanc? tuary in one of our eastern cities. A little child, ten or twelve years of age. living iu a ward of one of our great cities, where the poor are crowded to? gether, was passing away from ber poor earthly home to a home io one of the j maoy mansions above ; for the heart of ; this little Iamb the Lord had touched, aod she was his own. She was going dowu into the valley without a fear for the Saviour she had been taught to j ! love-it may be in the mission school ! I -was with her. As she was slowly | i breathing out her life, perhaps thc the sound of church-bells floated into ber room, for she soddenly raised her self, and she fancied she could seo tbe crowds of well-dressed people going np to the house of God-ali well-dressed people. There were none with worn and meagre garments, as the poor are ; dressed ia. Almost within sound of the melodies of beaven, she thought with pity of the multitudes of earth's poor, for whom no beautiful santuary is open; and turning to her mother, she j said : 'Dear mamma, will you send for Dr. A. ; I want to see him before 1 go ? I am sore he will come when he knows, for I have heard bim preach to the poor as if he loved them.' * A messenger was dispatched, and the good man was soon beside the bed? side of the dying child. She knew that the time was very short, and with trembling eagerness said to her mother: 'Give me, please, the little box on the shelf jost above my head.' It was pot into the thin hand outstretched to receive it. Lifting the cover she took from the box the few pieces of small coin s it contained, and putting them into the hands of the clergyman, she said : 'These are ail mine. Take them, and when I am gone will you build with them a church for poor people, a pretty church where even the very poor like us, may go T As the good j man hesitated for a moment, she said, 'Promise me, oh promise me, that you will do this.' Could he do else thao promise ?' It was the call of God, he felt, to this work. The little seed put into his hand with such simple, loving trust, and watered with tears, would, he doubted not, bear fruit. And so thc event proved. A state? ly house of worship, especially for the poor, now lifts its graceful spire heav? enward, and to the worshippers the man of God ministers, to whom the dying girl confided ber precious trust. How often does the loving Saviour make use of the humblest instrument to build up his kingdom on earth ! The small gift of a little child he can bless aod make it instrumental in doing a great work as easily as he could use the 'five barley loaves and two small fishes* to feed five thousand hungry people. Good Morning. Don*t forget to say 'good morning.* Say it to your parents, brothers and sis? ters, your schoolmates, your teachers i and say it cheerfully, aud with a smile, j it will do you good, and do your friends good. There's a kind aspiration in every 'good morning,' heartily spoken, that helps to make hope fresher and work lighter It seems really to make the morning good and to be a prophecy of a good day to come after it. And if this be true of the 'good morning' it is true of kind, beartsouie greetings-they cheer the discouraged, rest the tired one and somehow make the wheel of life run more smoothly. Be liberal with them then, and let no morning pass, however gloomy it may be, that you do not help at least to brighten by your smiles and cheerful words. - - i i mmt Grains. Solomon was fall of wisdom, bat Jobn was full of love to the Master. Love the Scriptures, and wisdom will love thee. Holiness is not to be measured by perfect joy, but by perfect resigna? tion. We put things in order ; God does the rest. Lay an iron bar east and ! west-it is not magnetized : lay it j north and south, aod it is. A true man never frets about bis place in the world, bat just slides into it by the gravitation of bis nature and swings there as easily as a star. A good conscience is the palace of Christ ; thc temple of the Holy Ghost ; the paradise of delight ; the standing Sabbath of the saints. Christ comes with a blessing in eaeh hand ; forgiveness in one and holiness in the other, aod never gives either to any wbo will not take both. St. Bernard says, 'The detraetor car? ries the devil in his mouth ; so be who hearkens to him may be equally said to carry the devil in bis ear.' God does not delay to bear our prayers fcea?se be has no mind to give; int tbat, by enlarging our desires, He may give 09 store largely. Disease is an effect, not a cause. Its origin is within ; its manifestations without. Hence, to cure the the disease the cause must be re? moved, and in no oilier way can a cure ever be effected. WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE is established ou just this principle, lt realizes that 95 Per Cent. of all diseases arise- from deranged kidneys and liver, and it strikes at once at the root of the difficulty. The elements of which it is composed act directly upon these great organs, both as a food and restorer, and, by placing them in a healthy condition, drive disease and paio from the system. For the innumerable troubles caused by un? healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs; for the disttessing Disorders of Women ; for Malaria, and for physical derangements gen? erally, this great remedy bas no equal.

The paper we publish is essentially a type of modern progress, which demonstrates that this established jour? nal has beeome ber ter and stronger as it in? creases in years. The men who" have, from one generation to another, worked upon it, and helped to make it a power in the land, submit, and will submit, to the common lot of humanity and pass away from this earth aud its stauggles. but the result of their labor remains, and will continue to remain. The workmen die, but the work goes on. The Chronicle of to-day is an improvement upon the Chronicle of the past. The Chroni? cle of the future will be au improvement upon the Chronicle of to-day. The world moves, aud the paper moves with it.
