One More in HeaTCU.

Missed day by day from its accustomed place, j
But cleansed and saved and perfected l>y !
graceOne
more in heaven!
One less at home!
One voice of welcome hushed, and ever more j
One farewell word spoken : on the shore
Where parting comes not, one soul landed

One less at home!
Chill br the east-born mist the thought would i

And wrap our footsteps round, and dim our
eve*:
But the bright sunbeam darteth from the

One more nt home!
This is not home, where, cramped in earthly
mold,
Onr sight of Christ is dim?our love is cold;
But there, where (ace to face we shall behold,
Is home and heaven !
One less at home!
Its pains, its sorrows, and its toil to share;
One less the pilgrim's dally cross to bear.
One more the crown of ransomed souls to
wear,
At home in heaven !
One more in heaven!
Another thought to brighten cloudy days,
Another theme for thankfulness and praise,

To hoafe and heaven!
One more at homeThat
home where separation cannot be,
That home where none are missed eternally ;
Lord Jesus, grant us nil a place with thee,
At home In heaven!
Sammy Hick's Prayer.
Saramy Hicks, the good, eccentric
English blacksmith, was in the habit
of praying for persons by name, with
what some would regard as undue familiarity.
The late "Billy Dawson,"
who knew him personally, mentioned
in my hearing, for example, that stopping
once at the house of , in
Lancashire, Sammy prayed thus at
family worship for the cook, who was
exceedingly ugly: "O, Lord, convert
Betty ; she'll look five-pound
better!" and thus for the brother-inlaw
of his host: "My Lord, bless?
bless?Thou k no west?I forgot his
name?the big fat man that lives at
top o' the hill !"
Serg't R . an English Methodist,
when in Ireland, related the following.
I give it as it was told to me.
Sammy and some brethren visited a
certain village for the purpose of establishing
a prayer-meeting. They secured
a room, but it proved too small
for the Dumose. One day it was pro
posed that Sammy should go to a nobleman
in the neighborhood to solicit
aid toward the erection of a chapel.
Consenting to the proposal of his
brethren, ou dondition that they would
go to their knees and continue in prayer
until his return, the simple-minded,
zealous man went to seek an inter.
view with the nobleman. With great
difficulty Sammy Rot ushered into his
presence wheu this scene occurred :
Sammy:?"My lord, the people in
are very wicked ; and if they
don't get a chapel, they'll go to hell
and be damned. Now, I'm to ask
your lordship to give us a subscription
to build a chapel."
Nobleman, eyeing his strange visitor:?"Oh,
you may go about your
business! I have no money for you."
Sammy''But, my lord, you have
plenty of money, if you would like to
giye it. And you know, my lord, they
are praying for my success yonder."
, Nobleman :?"I'll give you no money."
Sammy:-"Well, my lord, you won't
hinder me from praying with you ?"
Nobleman"I don't want your
prayers."
Sammy"O, my lord, it wouldn't
do to part without prayers."
So saviug, Sammy fell on his knees,
Ilia lordship sitting still in his chair,
not a little amused by this time.
Sammy:?''O Lord, Thou knowest
the people in are very wicked.
and if we don't get a chapel they'll all
go to hell and be damned. Thou knowest
that his lordship hero has plenty of
money if he likes to give it. Now,
Lord, give his heart a touch, and let
him give us a subscription to build 11
chapel."
Nobleman :?"Did I ever hear such
prayers! Well, there's a pound for
you. Now go about your business."
Sammv:?"O, Lord, he has got a
touch. Now give him auother touch,
for Thou knowest that he could as easily
give us ten pounds as one pound."
Nobleman .-?"Well, there are five
pounds for you. Will that do?''
Sammy"Bless the Lord, his heart
is growing soft. Now, Lord, touch
* ? l-i 1~:? :
ixlill agam, auu ico uim hiulcus? iuci
subscription."
Nobleman :?1"Well, there are ten 1
pound9 for you. Now are you satisfied
??
Sammy "Glory be to God! ten
pounds will go a great way to build
the walls; but, Lord, what will we do
for the roof? Thou knowest his lordwhip
here has plenty of timber, on the'
estate, growing and dry. Now touch I
liim again, and let him give us the
timber for the roof."
This petition also was granted, and
Sammy "went on his way rejoicing."
O, that the Lord would touch the
hearts of all nobles and all that are
i not noblemen in the Church, and then
might we have to say with Sammy :
"Bles9 the Lord, these hearts are|
growing soft. Now, Lord, touch them )
again, and let them increase their sub- j
scription."
Then would the Gosnel of our Lord !
Je3U8 Christ be supported, and the
banner of holiness would flutter in the
breeze of joy, to the utter extinction of
all fairs, festivals, grab-bags, soap-bubbles
and theatricals. Then, like Sammy,
to the glory of God, we would go
on our way rejoicing.
Wheelbarrow Religion.
Richard Baxter said some of his peo-:
pie "had a wheelbarrow religion,"
they "went when they were shoved." I
This is an apt description of the relig- j
ion of some in these days. If they go:
to prayer meeting, somebody must go!
by their homes and shove them along.!
If they pay any quarterage, the stewart
must push them to it. It is harder!
than rolling a wheelbarrow up hill to!
keep them going. In every church!
maybe found the wheelbarrow mem-\
, ' bers. We pity the arms that have to |
push them. Sometimes a pious wife
rolls out to church an indifferent husband.
Then a godly mother wheel-1
ip ^ barrows a frolicksome daughter, or a1
~ a* /.careless son.

Why Art Thou Disquieted Z
iJY RKV. MAUVIX II. VINCENT, 1). P.
If you cannot, on inquiry, discover ;
that sin is at the bottom of your (lis- <
quietude, it may occur t<? you that God I
lias sent it. It is not unlike mm to
disquiet those whom he loves some- <
times in the way of discipline. You i
are in affliction, it may he, and in the
despondency which affliction brings i
with it. Why art thou disquieted, my i
soul? God knew of this affliction, did ,
he not? He could have averted it, ;
could he not? Yes, and yet he suffer- i
ed it to fall. If, then, he intended it
for thee, 0 soul, why art thou disquieted
? Thou art satisfied that the ,
source of thy trouble is divine; is that ,
something to be disquieted about? Or
dost thou fear it will be more than
thou canst bear ? Oh, reflect that the
Father is the husbandman. He is
pruning thee that thou mightest bring ,
forth more fruit. Shall the knife in
thy Father's hand out off more than it j
is best thou shouldst lose for thine own ,
growth's sake. Why art thou disqui- ,
eted, my soul? Dost tl>ou think thou ,
art an exception in thy trial? Dost j
thou forget Him who was made per,
...j?
reelinrougn suuenug, unu ?un
all points tempted and tried like as
thou art? Why art thou disquieted?
Is it because thou canst not see the
end thy God basin view in thy trial, {
or wilt thou forget that this "light af- ,
flietion. which is but for a moment,
worketh out for thee a far more ex- <
ceeding and eternal weight of glory?" i
The basis of the more popular form
of a godless philosophy in these mod- '
ern times, is the assumption that ,
"happiness" is the legitimate pursuit j
of mankind. Yet it is a truth of truths ,
that "happiness," in the sense in I
which that term is employed by the i
crodless philosophers, and in which,
indeed, it is popularly understood, is
not a legitimate pursuit of mankind. 1
The best lives in this world, the no- !
blest lives, the grandest lives, are lives ]
which are not happy?as the world ,
understands happiness; and it isclear- ,
ly unworthy of a true man to make j
happiness, as such, a prime object of ,
pursuit for himself, or of desire for <
those who are dear to him. "Happi- <
ness," as it is ordinarily reckoned, is a 1
condition of feeling; it is, in fact, de- 1
fined in the dictionaries as "the agree- j
able sensations which spring from the
enjoyment of good"?of good as meas- ,
ured by one's selfish, or one's selfly
standards: as "that state of a being in i
which his desires are gratified by the
enjoyment of pleasure ivithout pain.1'
And the popular estimate of happiness
is indicated in the proverbial simile,
"As happy as a clam at high water"?
as happy as mere conscious freedom
from discomfort or danger can make
one. What a standard this is, for a
sensible and responsible being in such
a universe as ours! Would you tell a
soldier, on his entering the army of
his country, that the object of his
army life should be happiness? Yet
the highest conception of a heroic life
is the soldier's standard. Trust and
obedience are the soldier's true aimbe
the consequences to him or to his
what they may. And faith and faithfulness
are the Christian's true aim in
life?whether his feelings, or his sensations,
are agreeable or disaerreeable.
Indeed, the term "happiness," as the
Bible employs it, is primarilj' indicative
of the "happenings" to a man in
the line of his duty as a man; it. is
tbat which comes to him in his Master's
ordering. "Happy is the man
whom God correcteth/' "Happy is
the man that feareth alway." That ,
sort of happiness is not what godless (
philosophers, nor sinners generally, c
are longing after: but there is no ofii- i
er kind of happiness which a Chris- (
tian soldier should be living for. In- J
stead of wishing to be happy, or of (
wishing others to have happiness, we A
should wish for ourselves and for oth- c
ersafull measure of trustfulness and
of trustworthiness, of duty doing and
of trial enduring in all loving trust in 1
Him whose we are and whom we (
serve. That is an objective aim more J
worthy of a rational and an immortal j
being, than is any subjective mood, or
state of feeling, or condition of being.
"Whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy y
is he"?even when he is most unhap- ]
py, as the world judges happiness. ?
"Let Christians say to war-making
rulers, 'We can not, we dare not, lend
the least countenance to this wholesale
butchery of mankind. We believe it
to be the climax of human wicked- g
ness, and can have no share in its sins; ^
but must, in conscience, teach all un- ,
der our care or influence to hold in it
the dee nest abhorrence.
We will write against it; we will 1
preach against it; we will talk against
it; we will pray against it; through
life and in death we will bear our testimony
against it. No demands, no
threats, no tortures shall turn us from
this purpose.
Martyrs to our faith ye may make
us; recreants, traitors, never! Seize,
if you will, our property; load us with
chains, drag us to prison or the gallows.
We will offer our necks to the
halter; we will bear our bosoms to
your steel; but never, never will we
stain our consciences, and peril our
souls, by aiding in this work of pillage,
murder, and conflagration." f
Such a stand, taken by the church,
would surely and speedily remove the
disgrace of war from our religion, and
ere long sweep the custom itself from
every land where the Influence of
Christianity is predominant.
A person once saw the title "Slander
Book," on a small ledger. In it each
member of the family was charged so
much for each slander. The accounts
were neatly and correctly kept. A 1
good girl originated the idea to prevent
evil-speaking. Young as she
was, she saw its wretched effects in
families and neighborhoods and
Churches?what disastrous fires it kindled?what
sweet fountains it embittered?what
very friends it separated.
That sermon did me good ! Did it
humble your heart, increase your ha- '
tred to sin. bring you upon your knees
before God, fill you with gratitude, or
make you ashamed of yourself and
your ways? If it produced none of
these effects, you are deceived ; it may ,
have pleased you, but it did not profit t
you; nature loves to be pleased, grace <
to be profited. If
The last victory of love is in endur-; i
ing all things, by which [ understand {<
a patient perseverance in loving. This <
is perhaps the hardest work of all, for | <
many people can be affectionate and 11
patient for a time, but the task is toll
hold on year after year. f
No man who neglects his temper
can be happy, any more than he makes
those happy around mm. uooa temper
is gold,* it is beyond price: bad
temper is a curse to its possessor and
to society. 1
The martyrs to vice far exceed the
martyrs to virtue, both in endurance I
and in number, so blinded are we byjt
our passions that we suffer more to be '
damned than to be saved. J
The state of the Christian while on
earth is not that of health but of convalesence.
Despair.
If we are to trust a recent writer in '
the Saturday Review, we have liUIe ]
reason for congratulation. In an arti- J
cleon the "State of Europe," we are J
told that "journalists, and other com- i
mediators on current events have long j
ceased to suggest uiorui <>ujrci.iwiis> k, ,
unnecessary wars. The bloodshed ami
misery which would result from even
n just war are left out of consideration
by moralists, because they have no
hope of imprc&xiny tlirir opinion on
statesmen" This is indeed a serious
charge against Journalism.
[International Monthly. (
It-strikes us as a still more serious J
charge against Statesmen' The preacher
and teacher are faithless, and the
Statesmen thick-skinned, conscienceless,
impervious to moral truth !
What would you say of a missionary
who despaired of teaching morality
or religion to heathen ? What would
you say of a pastor who should despair
of any power in "the foolishness
of preaching." Hear St. Paul, "I can i
Jo all things through Christ who

Tlie Verdict of History.
BY MARY ELIZABETH BLAKE, OF BOSTON, i
I sometimes wonder if, when we in turn !
have become a thing ofthe past, and tak- :
an our place under the investigating lens
r)f the future antiquary, this impenetrable
blindness of ours in regard to the wickedness
of war, and the utter absurdity of (
applying to it the principles of justice, .
will not be the greatest stumbling block ?
in forming a critical analysis of our
character. Many precious "impulses to- J
ward right, many heroic efforts in the i
way of helpfulness and uplifting ot our
race, much deep and earnest thought upon
Bvery matter appertaining to purer and
liigher life?mentally, at least, if not morally?he
must certainly admit for us who i
would fairly judge our progress and
jivilization. He would no doubt praise J
the efforts we are making to raise the
standard of intelligence among the com- inon
people; and the discrimination
which is leading ua to combat such vices
?s intemperance by training the youthful '
mind into a healthful understanding of ,
its inherent wrongfulness. He would |
idmire our widespread schemes of benev- \
dence and philanthropy, and place it to *
)ur credit, that in this latter half of the J
nineteenth century we had begun to J
notice the claims of the heathen and the
savage at our gates, as well as those further
away.
He will look with delight upon the
strides we have made in reducing the I
strain of physical labor from the workingman,
and upon the series of "brilliant I *
sxperiments which have brought electricity
and a score of other hitherto unknown
forces into tho realms of natural
iaw. But he would stand dismayed before
the idiosyncrasy which could permit
in intelligence so widespread and benign
;o tolerate the same kind of barbarism of
warfare which disfigured the first ccn- ,
;ury and the tenth, and the sombre days .
)f the middle ages. He would pause in ?
,he sure verdict of high enlightenment
md noble achievement which otherwise ?
ivoud stand as the exponent of our age,
ind strive to find theories and possibilities
which should account for this conflict
between absurdity and common
iense. "So full of sense," he would 4
groan, "and so amenable to law and order f
n their private relations; so exact in the q
ittcmpt to render justice in case of petty
lisputes and trifling quarrels ; soanxious
;o imbue the minds of their children with
jjear ideas of right and wrong and with
he necessity of combating evil by princi- 1
5al instead of by force ! And yet flying to |
Ivrnpp cannon and rifled guns in cases of u
lational dispute; bankrupting their ?
,treasuries and taxing their inhabitants *'
or the means of wholesale slaughter ?
imong those very masses; offering induce- t
nents to superior talent to buoy itseif
jpon the discovery of more terrible
jxplosives and more deadly engines for
lestrying life?and doing all this in tho
laitie 01 uraur ana nuiiiiiiiity ; acu
lor of course our philosophic arclncolo- J
fiat would be a German), "Ach! was fur 1
sin Volk !" Going over the future page
vi'th him. I also am constrained to ex:laim,
"OA, what a people!"
The pay-train on the^Raltimore & Ohio r
ailroad on its first trip after the recent ^
lisastrious accident carried a temperance
pledge which every employe was requir- (
:d to sign if he desired to remain with
hat road. Prohibition prohibits.

ievei-al weeks, died at the residence of Dr. I".
P. Latimer, city of Greenville, on the v
!Oth inst., in the eighty-eighth year of his
ige.
"He died that we might live,
He lives that none may die; .
Henceforth the open grave
Points to the open sky."
The best advertisement of a work
ihop is first-class work. The strong- i
;st attraction to Christianity is a weil- J
nade Christian character.
Wherever I find u a^reat deal of grattude
in a poor man I take it for grantid
there would be as much generosity
f he were a rich man.
Unless we live to make mankind, ]
)eginning with our nearest relatives,
viser, better and happier, we live to I
10 good purpose.
I think the world of to-day would 1

pressure, but for the blessed institu,ion
