Ka"V , Moth-Eaten. BY MARGARET E. SAJfGSTER. I had ft beautiful garment, Anfl I laid it by with caro, I folded it close with lavender leaves, In a napkin fine and fair. "It's far too costly u robe For ono like me to wear." So never at morn or evening I put my garment on; It lay by itself under clasp and key t~ .t ^IU,lr ?fnno Ill IUC JJCJ 1U111CU uuon Its wonderful broidery hidden, Till many a day had gone. There were guests who came to my portal, There were friends wliosat with me, And, clad in soberest raiment, I bore them company; I knew I owned the beautiful robe, Though its splendor none might see. There wore poor who stood at my portal. There were orphaned sought my care; I give them tender pity. But I had nothing besides to spare; I had only the beautiful garment, And the raiment for daily wear. At last on a feast-day's coining, I thought in my dress to shine; .. v I would please myself with the luster Of its shifting colors fine; I would walk with pride in the marvel Of its rarely rich design. So out of the dust I bore it? The lavender fell away? . And fold on fold 1 held it up To the searching light of day. Alas! the glory had perished While there in its place it lay. Who seeks for the fadeless beauty .Mustseek for the use that it seals To the grace of a constant blessing I The beauty that use reveals; f For into the folded robe alone The moth with Its blighting steals. Keeping: Grannie Out of the ToorHouse. Plain people do some line preaching now and then without ever dreaming of such a thing. For instance, the other morning we were talking about the widow whose cruse of oil held out so wonderfully when she was required of the Lord to take an extra boarder; and Mrs. Mellows turned to her husband with a look in her kind, quick eyes, that betokened a good untold story. "Say, Pa," she said, "doesn't that make you think of us keeping Grannie out of the poor-house?" "I reckon," he replied, cutting his beefsteak with evident relish. "Howwas it?" we asked; "tell us about it, please." "Well, there ain't much to tell," she said, the llush on her cheeks contradicting her meek words. , "We hadn't much o' this world's goods in them days, had we Pa?" "Nothing to brag on," was the response. "But you see," Mrs. Mellows went on, "uramiiw uciuugcu j. u a and we knowed what a good soul she was; so that Sunday, when we come outo'.meetin' after the sermon, there stood Grannie, the very picter of trouble 'Why Grannie,' says I, 'what is the matter?' She pulled me one side and whispered it out, for she couldn't bear to speak agin' her own flesh and blood, biit bein' she was hard o' hearin', them that stood around heard every word she said. 'They're a goin' to take me over to the poor-house this week, cos Ed'ard's wife, she's sick so much, and Carson's folks they have got so many children?so many mouths to fill?an' they can't none of 'em be bothered with me round no more. Oh, if He'd only o' took me 'fore it had come to this!' and the tearsjest uiore'n poured over old Grannie's face. 1 guess if we hadn't had an extra good class-meetin' I'd a let oft' a pieceo' my mind about that time, but I swallowed itrtnumi n ml kjivk T to < rsill ii io. 4xS() such a tiling! We don't let none o' the Lord's children go to that old barn of a poor-house. 'Taint 'cordin' to Scrijitcr,' says I, 'so come along Grannie, as long as we have a rouf over our heads there'll be room for you.' iiy this time we were out on the steps, and old Nanny an' the buggy was up to the end of 'em, and l'a'd stepped out to let me get in. lie was alius quick to see through things, though he never wastes words, lie knowed we was goin' to have all we could do to pull through that winter, but he wasnever afraid to trust the Lord, lie puckered up his mouth like he was going to whistle, about half a minute. Then he laughed, though his eye looked like a spring rain, with the fire a showin' through the under side o' the coals. 'Jump in, Granny, says he, and he helped her into the old buggy like she wa9 his own mother. One thing did stick in my crop, though. Dan Smith's wife came up to me in a wav like Dattin' me 011 the shoulder, an'says she, 'The Lord will reward you, bister Mellows,'says she, 'for being good to the poor.' 1 couldn't help thinking with their big house, and great rich farm, and no mortgage, them Smiths might 'a' put in for that reward, themselves, instead o' being so ready to give it to us when we was so poor we couldn't hardly go alone. iJut, poor things, they didn't prosper ; they went oft' down South, and run through everything, and the last we knew of 'em they were as poor as Job's turkey. No more did old Jerry Wattles, lie was reconed right weliott* then, but he run down dreadfully after his oldest boy took to drink. You see, Jerry, he'sent word to Pa, that we liadu't no business a lodiu' ourselves down with Grannie when the town was able and willing to take care 01 her, poor as we was." A Discharged Nurse. In a recent address Rev. Sam Jones said: I 2/kjl unvn nw> ?iiwl unvo vaii fmm Hip fatal mistake of thinking that I can do anything. The most severe tests and trials of an evangelist result from the fact that people will depend on him. Quit looking to me. Look to God. The good work of (Jod is preceding any effort of yours. (Jod is working ahead of us. Let us follow close after Uod, and work in earnest. Just a few years ago, one morning in our family room, I was sitting reading, just after breakfast. There was a little nurse girl there, about sixteen years of age, and 1 heard my wife say to her, "Sally, you may go this morning, and tell your mother I don't want you any longer." I read along a minute or two, and then I looked. The girl was standing with the big tears running down her cheeks. She looked at my wife, and said, "Mrs. Jones," and the lips began to quiver. "Mrs. Jones, please don't turn me oil". I know I'm the poorest servant vou ever had ; but let me stay with you" and I'll try and do better." I got in to beg for the poor girl just as hard as I could, and I thought to myself, if the Lord should come down here and say, "You may go; I don't want you any longer," I would do just like that poor girl j ?I would fall down at llis feet, audi say, "Please, Lord, don't turn me oil"; I know I'm the poorest servant you ever had; but please, Lord, I'll try lo do better." Let me live and die in Cod's service. Hut God won't turn me off. Go to work ; let's do what we can j for the glory of CJod and for the good of our fellow men. Never borrow trouble. Of course ic not, there is always somebody that will give you all you want. An evil conscience is the most unquiet companion. ??. - v. . What Others Say. [& S. Times.] Character does show itself external-! ly, but the external signs of character may be?they often are?misread through ignorance. Mere manner is not of itself a sure test of character. A person's outward appearance i& by no means conclusive as to his innermost spirit. Devoutness of look, and religiousness of speech, may be utterly deceptive. Christina Rossetti refers to the earlier and the later estimates of the chameleon, which is said to look in two different ways with its two separate eyes, and which was for meriy supposeu 10 oe 01 a mm-wiucmplative nature, actually living on air. "Such was the verdict of ignorance. The verdict of knowledge, nowadays, is that the chameleon simply lives, on insects. His downward eye, contemplating earth, hunts a walking fly. His upward eye, scouring heaven, presumably hunts a lloating fly, but still a ily. There remains no difference worth speaking of between his upward eye and his downward eye." It may be thoughtless "star-gazing" that lifts a pew-holder's eye toward the ceiling in sermon time. It may be the humility of the publican which causes the eye of the worshiper to be cast down in tho temple courts. And here it is that there is comfort in the thought that Ciod, and not man, is to decide as to the real spirit of those who present themselves before CJod; "for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." i& H. Times] It is only through our personal experiences that we gain the power of sympathizing with others. We should never be able to feel another's pain, if we had never felt a pain of our own. So it is in all the trials of our fellows ; before we can enter into the feelings of one who is tempted, or who is disappointed, or who is humiliated, or who is bereaved, we must ourselves sutler? being tempted, or being disappointed, or being humiliated, or being bereaved. It is hard to have these trials for ourselves; but it is good for others that we have and exercise sympathy with those who are called to such trials for themselves. And as we can never gain this power except through these trials, let us find a comfort in the thought that every trial sent to us is a call to added lituess in the all-important ministry of loving sympathy. When God afflicts us he honors us, in order that we can honor him by helpiug others who are afflicted. [ Wtstern Advocale.] how to likach tji1s masses.?The churches will never "reach the masses" until people with dirty faces and nigged clothes are welcomed in the House of God. In the great majority of the churches they are not welcome now. Komau Catholics are much nearer solving this problem than rrotestants are. Methodism touched the lowest stratum of tlie English people once, but it does it no longer except in its "mission" work, and not always in that. Protestantism is the religion of respectable people, and rather glories in it; and in all civilized lands is getting further from the poorest and worst classes every year. It courts the J rich and powerful, and does little for the rabble. We are led to believe, indeed, that it has little pity for those whose possessions arc only rags and grime, and that its feelings toward j them is rather one of scorn or censure than of commiseration; and yet we wonder that we do not "reach the masses." (Prosperity Press and Reporter.) M.VKK THE DlFKHKKXt'li.?TWO farmers came to town Tuesday morning. One?in his 'Jlst year/?sold a bale of cotton, paid cash for his goods, put balance money in his pocket, and left town in a very little time, giving as iiis reason for leaving so speedily that the horses were needed 011 the farm. The other farmer?a much younger man?irot hissunulies on a lean, and; walked around just as if it did not j make any difference when he got home. Of eourse, it is none of our business, but we could not keep from noticing the difference. The following note was received by Dr. McFerriu during his recent illness: Very Dear Brother?I hear you are sick, aud I am anxious for your safety. I have long desired to write to you, and can give no satisfactory reason for the delay. If this finds you living, please accept it as an assurance of loving remembrance. You will hardly recall me to recollection, as I have never met you since the Ueneral Conference of 1844, at New York. My memory of you is very clear and distinct, ami J have followed you in your public career with much satisfaction. What changes in church and .State have occurred since that date! "But out of all the Lord has brought us by his love." In heaven will be no North, 110 South?all will be merged j iu one family of God. "In Hie completion of the periods lie will gather together in one the all in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth ; even in him." I do not propose a formal letter, but as we are almost the only remnants of the General Conference of 1844, I felt a desire to write you an assurance of my Christian love, and of my high appreciation of your long public service of the church, and to express my sympathy and solicitude in this hour of sickness. May tho Lord grant you his abiding presence and grace, if it please him to give you yet a longer stay with the militant church. Expecting shortly to meet you in the Father's house above, with all the saints, even an innumerable company "which no man can number," I bid you adieu. Ever truly yours, F. U. lillifiARI). A tornado passed through northern Kentucky April ?2. It left a track four hundred yards wide, levelling trees and unroofing houses. The Baptist church steeple was badly damaged. A man, Warren Carroll, on a raft in' the Ohio River was killed by lightning. A fatal cyclone swept over the northern portion of Vernon County, Missouri, on the night of April 21. J)estiuction and death marked its path. Over thirty houses were demolished, and about fifteen persons killed. .Several were so dangerously wounded that; they will die. Reports from the entire section visited by the cyclone will show greater losses to property and life.

Jones, a student of Peter Ney, wrote a series of articles in the Christian Neighhok leading to the conclusion that Peter Ney, the North Carolina school teacher, was the veritable Marshal Ney of France. Those who remember those communications of Dr. B. G. Jones will read with interest the followiug extract from the Charleston News and Courier: Raleigh, N. C., April 23.?It has been decided by a number of physicians to exhume, on May 3, the re I mains of Peter S. Aey, from meiri burial place in the graveyard at Third | Creek, Acomen County. Ney came to i North Carolina about lSlfi and taught school. Facts were developed that lie was probably Napoleon's famous and loveu Marshal Ney. For many years this matter has been the subject of argument. In the past two years the arguments have been very earnest, and Liman Draper, president of the Wisconsin Historical Society, has been earnest in his endeavors to have the body exhumed. The skull of the real Marshal Ney was trephined, and the purpose is to ascertain whether the skull of Peter .S. Ney is trephined. Drs. J. G. Ham.say, Wood and others will be present at the exhumation. Several persons yet live were Ney's punils. All these are unanimous iu the belief that Ney, their teacher, was really (he marshal of France. Evils that Follow War. SPEECH BY W. F. II ITCirKLL, UEI'ORE I THE PEACE CONFERENCE OF CHRISTIANS. Previous to our civil conflict, we in this country know, only by reading, of the horrors of war and the demoralization that follows. Of the former we had, during our great struggle, a full and complete expoiience; but to the lattur, we are, after ten years, but just awakening. In fact, wo have been repeatedly told that "in this respect, our war was an exception ; that our soldiers returned, after tho four years' experience, to their quiet avocations, and good citizenship was the rule as before the rebellion." True it is, that tho sort of vagabonds known as "tramps" began at once to increase, and is a hundred l'old greater than before tho war. But this might follow a year of panic; so we simply speak of it, with the remark that a very largo number of these people have had an experience in the army, and many wcro educated in crime by the circumstances attending re tlir?w M'nrril All Ubiici nv/iu-i v.4x/j ..v.v. "bounty junipers." I do not know that wo liavo a right to i expect that the efl'ccts of war in lho vitia-j tion of society will bo thesamoaiijmrcnl-l /.?/, though wo know they will bo renduj the same. Neither luivo won right to expect them to appear immediately. The demoralization of society in degree with so great :i war as that which we waged for the suppression of the rebellion, must be </cty< and (li'iroiiff/i,and perhaps years in showing the extent of the wound. Such it has licen, is, and will he our experience. With 110 governing class, our people must in all time be greatly indebted to the conservative inlluences and institutions of society, such as the Sabbath, the Church, tho institution of marriage, and the cauiex, as we term them, such as the temperance cause and other philanthropic movements, l'or the common weal. 'rim*. ?im 1111 hiic intflL-rhv lins been al most ruined wo ail admit; but we are told Unit the pcoplcnro still rifj/it. T think it can be shown that the restraining forces or influences of the community have boon demoralized to a far greater extent than we arc aware, and that, perhaps, the reason that it has escaped notice or attracted so little attention is because ol its depth and power. Take for example, the .Sabbath. In no part of the country has the proper observance of the Sabbath had its roots so deep as in Xew England. In fact. "As quiet as a Xew England Sabbath," has become a comparison. Leaving that part of the country, as I did, more than twenty-live years ago, and returning to it five years sines, an excellent opportunity was afforded mo to observe the changes which have taken place in the habits and general charade ri*. tics of the people. A very great change had taken place in the manner of observing the lirst day of the week. We have in New England a very large class of reputable citizens, who never wore in the habit of allcndin<;puhlio worship, though not opposed to it. These wore formerly keepers at home on the Sabbath, so far respecting the feelings of Christian people as to avoid giving offence by making it a day of pleasure. This class always held the Church, as wo technically cafl it, to strict consistency. May it not bo that the attitude of the Christian community during the .-ate war may Imvo deprived tiiosc 01 wnat niiiu respect they had I'ur religion? Sullieo it to say, tlio Sabbath is now largely their day of recreation, and their position and iniluen *o arn just opposite to what they were before the war. Hut by far tlio more serious change is to lie found in the people at large. The want of Sal>bath and sanctuary privileges by thousands of liar population, during our four years of eonlliet, has told upon the church-going community with great force, causing hundreds to look forward i to the day as a holiday, with 110 moro regard for St than for the Fourth of July.
