"A Shadow From the Heat." Isaiah xxv: 1. When the cares of life oppress thee. And thy spirit Ions* for rest; If thy frienns should disappoint thee, K'en the dearest and the best: Then the lime lias come for learning Lessons which are learnt alone in iho Master's secret presence. All thy sorrows made His own. lessons which will, in Hie learning. Turn thy bitter into sweet; Marah shall be left behind thee, Elim greet tliy weary I'ect. Who can comfort as He comforts? Never sorrow was like His; 'Twas in love for thee He bore it. Who can offer love like this> If on bed of pain to languish He should gently bid thee lie. Think of His surpassing anguish. Think of a>l Ills agony: Not a grief but He lias measured, Not a tear He doth not sec; Oh, as one his mother comforts. So the Lord will comfort thee! If some loved one turn and leave thee. Think how He was left by all. Well He knows?who else so truly ? What it is in vain to call, In the hour of deepest sorrow. For a loving friend to cheer, And because lie knows, has felt it, He to thee is ever near. And when thou hast loarnt tno lesson How to trust ? love so strong. Learning how thy best conception (If His goodness did Hiin wrong, Falling far, how far below it! Seeing Him, thy song shall be? "Oh, the half of all His beauty. Never hath been told to me!" What is Vulgarity ? Second-rateness, combined with obtuseness to the fact?as we think of the causes producing vulgarity of this definition, in the community, do we not at once hit upon the second-rate newspaper? I think we each know of a newspaper whose influence is constantly vulgarizing, because it is invariably on the side of the second-best - as aigainst the first-best in everything. T?Al 9a-? -J of O ? 1111 IIS SlUinu sewmi-tuuj) mill MV U huge subscription list, it is always on the safe side of hitting a low enough average appreciation, instead of any high and exceptional appreciation. Its editorials are so plainly written down to supposed low grade of intelligence that even this low grade would seem certain to detect and resent it. Its very news is so dressed as to make sure, at all hazards, of suiting the most vulgar palate among its patrons. With its amplification of second-chop events by second-chop writers, its puff's of second-chop people and their books or other achievements, its hot advocacy of second-chop office-seekers, with their second-chop political notions?what can it be but a vulgarizing influence? On the other hand, do we not know of a journal whose whole tone?in editorials, in news and news comment, in political discussion, in literary review ?is the tone of candid talk*between gentlemen? It is plain in every line that each writer is offering, not a second-best supposed to be suited to a duller intelligence or inferior opportunities. but the best knowledge and opinion by him attainable. Any considerable Remiaintance with its issues moreover, gives one a confidence that the writer undertaking a speci?I topic in its columns lias some competency to speak upon it. In other words, it maintains the reputation with its readers of being a journal prepared by firstclass intelligence for lirst-class intelligence. We all feel that we must keep up with the news of the world. We insist on taking our "fifty years of Europe" in daily, or at least weekly installments. Is it not, now, a most strange and vulgar taste in us if we prefer?or oven if we submit?to take ? this indispensable news through a medium perfectly recognized to be second-rate in morals, manners, and intelligence, where there is a better to be had ? The "power of the press!"?we are always eulogizing it as one of our boasted modern blessings. Yet in my own private judgment I take the liberty of thinking that the evil newspaper aforementioned has done more harm in this country in the past dozen years than any other one influence. Iii social aims, in political morals (or iminoralsj, in general tone and atmosphere, it has done its worst, and is doing its worst to vulgarize the country. A Choice Extract. From the columns of the Christian Union we extract an interesting incident : We read recently a story of Ole Bull and Ericsson, the inventor, which we do not remember to have heard he fore, and which we print herewith : It seems that they were friends in early life, l>ut drifted apart, and did not meet again until each had become famous. Bull bad charmed the ears of admiring thousands all over the civilized world, while the part the groat mechanician played in the naval warfare during the war roused the North to enthusiasm and startled the world. When taking his leave Bull invited Ericsson to attend his concert that night. Ericsson, however, declined, saying he had 110 time to waste. Their acquaintance being thus re newed, j-Juli continued to can on ins old friend when visiting New York, and usually, when taking his leave, would ask Ericsson to attend his concert, but he always declined the invitation. Upon one occasion Bull pressed him urgently, and said : "If you do not come I shall bring my violin here and play in your shop." "If you bring the thing here I shall emnuli H " Here were two men the very opposite of each other; Hull an impulsive, romantic dreamer; Ericsson, stern, thoughtful, practical, improving every moment with mathematical precision. Bu'l's curiosity was aroused to know what effect music would have upon the grim, matter-of-fact man of squares and circles. So, taking his violin Willi mm, uuwi.ni. id jMicssuirs shop. He had removed the strings, screws, and apron. Noticing a displeased expression on Ericsson's face, Bull called his attention to certain defects in the instrument, and, speaking of its construction, asked Ericsson about the scientific and acoustic properties involved in the grain oi curtain woads. From this he passed on to a discussion q|" sound waves, semitones, etc. To illustrate his meaning, he replaced the strings, and, improvising a few chords, drifted into a rich melody. The workmen, charmed, dropped their tools, and stood in silent wonder. TTo nltivorl rm mwl r\ti mwl U'llPIl fl nally he ceased, Ericsson raised his bowed head, and, with moist eyes, said: "Do not stop. Goon! Goon! I never knew until now what there was lacking in my life." It is they who glorify who shall enjoy Him;* they who deny themselves who shall not be denied; they who labor on earth who shall rest in Heaven ; they who bear the cross who shall wear the crown ; they who seek to bless others who shall be blessed. What is liberty without wisdom and without virtue? Such liberty is the greatest of all possible evils, for it is vice and folly and madness, without tuition and without restraint. I A Word About Duty. A recent number of the Atlantic I Monthly contains a striking article by George Frederic Parsons, on the "Decline of duty." The article is timely. There is great need that we be recalled ! to a sense of the imperativeness of (duly. Not a few even of good andj .wise men have allowed incmseives io| speak in depreciatory terms of duty as a motive and rule. A very eminent land world honored evangelist is re-J j ported to have said, "I wish T might! I never again hear of duty." We arej largely taught hy many instructors of j to-day that we are to do this or that from love, and that duty is to he left, out of the question. In our religious meetings, we hear a great deat about feeling, enjoyment and ecstasies. When a religious experience is related, it is largely made up of the happiness that has come from the change of heart. I r., oil title r.'o nro linlilr> tn hfi led astray. Happiness, or its absence, is nowhere in tlie Scripture (that we are aware) set down as a criterion of true religion. Religion may be aecompa; nied by present happiness, or it may not; but true religion is always accompanied by the discharge of duty. The same "decline in a regard for duty seems to prevail everywhere. In political life, a man is put up and voted for, not because lie is upright, honest, faithful, conscientious, such a . man as the late W. A. Wheeler, of , New York, or as Judge Hoar, of Mas . sacuusetts, is not pui iorwaru except iii an emergency. Shall we say. must we saj*, that there is a good deal of the same thing | abroad among the churches? We have known a church to call a minis-1 ter, aware that lie was below par morally, because he would "draw," be-! cause he was magnetic, because with j him the collections would be nearly j $100 a Sunday. It seems to us that there is need tliat | 1 i.i *?i.? ?? (.'very UI1U hllUlliu UfiV, <ia n?c ^UJUC uii his life, "This is right, I will do it; that is wrong, I will not do it." In. the long run, somewhere here or here-| after, the discharge of duty will lead, , to happiness; but whether or not, duty is to be done. We are to pray, whether we feel like , it or not. We are to read the Bible, whether it makes us happy or not. We are to attend upon the worship of God, to practice charity and self-denial and purity and other Christian virtues, because it is right. rn.? ri/vAii rti<i mi* uuvu \fm nines* We often hear of the ''good old days of yore." Why deprive our children of the enjoyment of those old days? Why not pass a law forbidding steamboats plowing the waters, railroads from running on land, telegraphs from j sending messages, telephones from be- j ; ing used, all furnaces, steam heaters, etc., to be taken out, all stoves to be melted for old iron, all water-works in cities to be left empty, the use of all gas and other illuminators, except dip, ped tallow candles, to be disused, and , really go hack to the "good old times," | say, for five years? Then if. at midnicht. on a cold. I stormy night, a doctor is wanted, he must be sent for instead of telephoning for him. If one wished to send a message to a distance, instead of telegraphing he must write a letter and send it by stages to its distant place, and wait patiently for days or week9 for the answer. When he goes home on a freezing night, he can sit by a nwul fire rnuQtincr nil nnc whilp freezing on the other, and reading by the dim light of a tallow dip instead ofj the blaze of a gas-light or the more agreeable light of kerosene. If he undertakes a journey, instead of getting into the cars and going where he I wishes, the best he can do is to take a jstage, at four times the cost and ten | times the discomfort of the cars. Let these and other modern improvements be forbidden, and "good old days" be brought back, how long I i would it be before an extra session of' i ?1...

One must be impressed with these) emphatic words, recorded by St. Luke, j The travelers were on their journey toj Emmaus. The history informs us that it was "Jesus Himself" that drew I near. We are thankful that He is the sainej to day. Our earthly journey is often one of disappointment. Doubts are; suggested by the enemy of our souls;! the hopeful signs, from which we had j taken such encouragement in our work, are not always fulfilled to hu| man sight; the spiritual blindness of our associates walking at our side j sometimes increases our own embarrassment. JJut our companion is "Jesus Himself." Only let us choose to "follow on" with Him, and very soon our hearts will burn within us as He talks by the way. Such love could not be thus enkindled by the mere memory of what He is in history, or even what He has done for us in the past. "Jesus Himself"?a present, personal Christ? is tile travelar's need. Conscious that such a companion is near, our ear'lily journey no longer seems tedious because the great joy we have in such fellowship. Christian Cordiality. Build in the cold, black, sooty fireplace a big wood lire, and, as the logs kindle and glow, a look of rest will couie into the weary, pale, sad face, the dingy old furniture will appear at its very best, the air will be sweeter to breathe, and tlmt once damn, uniuvit ing chimney, so unlovely to look upon, is now the center mound which all gather, and from which good influences emanate; the child loves and I seeks its warmth and gladness; the old sit peaceful and contented by it, thankful for the best heat and cheer. jSo Christian cordiality is the warming land cheering element in this world. Science has its place, wealth has more than its place, hut a man's head and pocket must feel the impulse which comes from the heart. The burning of the logs in the lire-place, we say, is merely setting free imprisoned sunshine, and the cordial greeting audi nearly nana-suuKe are tne selling iree of the imprisoned sunshine of a heart all aglow with the love of Christ. Many a man has never even begun to learn the alnhahet of a mother's love until he was taken sick, or lost his property, or was forsaken by his friends, or was in some sort of trouble; then, beholding the constancy of this mother's affection for him, be beigan to pick out the letters, and for the j first time in his life spell the word love.?Jicv.

And old Mr. Spring, who was fond of a Joke, Said slyly, "Look here, little girls. Just see my poor head; it's as bald as your handCome, why can't you give me your curls?" And after he'd laughed at their look of dismay He turned to mamma, and forgot What he'd said to the two little darlings in I play; I But the two little darlings did not. I They crept to the nursery; the nurse was 1 away, But a great pair of scissors was there; They climbed on two chairs which they pushed to the glass. And gazed on their beautiful hair.

This frank comment concerning a young friend for whom we had been expressing our admiration, set us to 'j wondering why it is that in so many is families of genuine refinement the ta- It ble manners of the children receive so Jj small a share of attention. Many par- (i< ents seem to forget that the habits in formed at the homo table are likely to ^ follow one through life.

Sometimes it happens that at breakfast the pressure of business and f household cares leads to undue haste ^ on the parents part, thus giving addi- tr tional license to the children. The mother's attention is confined to the ?1 pouring of coffee, and the father is too impatient to be at his office to take time to serve the steak and potatoe:. with the gracious mein that distinguishes him when guests are present, * ? -1- iltn Ait anu cnuuren are quicK m nuiu mc uuference. Mrs. Nathaniel Hawthorne, in a letter to her mother, recalls this reminiscence of her childhood : "At 1 table with an impression of elegance and spirituality you made upon my mind by never being pro-occupied ? with your own plate and food, so that J I used to think mothers lived without ! m eating as well as without sleeping, I [J, saw that you were taken up with supi.ui plying others with what they wished di for, before they had time to* find out | themselves. 'What elegant manners!' | I used to feel, and so resolved to do so I1 too." Children's minds are like sensitized plates, and those abont them little realize the inell'aceable impressions| they are constantly receiving. Happy is the child who can find in the I _ home circle pure and lofty ideas ofj daily living.?Good Housekeeping. ! "Papa, How Much Do I Cost You 1" ^ ai A little girl, ten years old, lay on her Ai death-bed. It was hard (o part with the pet of the family; with her golden AJ hair, her lovely blue eyes, and aflec- ai tionate nature,* how could she be given 'ai up? Her father fell upon his knees jA] by his darling's bedside and wept bit-: ai terly. He tried to say, but could not, "Thy will be done." It was a strug- \ A\ gle and a trial such as he had never !ai before experienced. His sobs disturb ed the child, who had been lying apearently unconscious. She opened ai er eyes and looked distressed. Al ' Papa, dear papa," she said at length. Y "What, uiy dear?" answered the fa-jiJ ther. i L' "Papa," she asked in faint, broken accents, "how much do I cost you | ^ every year?" iv "Husli, dear ; be quiet," lie replied. I k1 in great agitation ; for lie feared that ^ delirium was coming on. !li "But, please, papa, how much do I!{-' cost you?" To soothe her, he replied, though 1L1 with a trembling voice, "Well, dear-l^1 est, perhaps two hundred or three hundred dollars. What then, dar-Lvi ling?" a, "Because, papa, I thought may be K[ you would lay it out this year in Bibles ' for poor children to remember me by."

O, how many poor children could be clothed and'fed with the money which is spent unnecessarily and to keep up with the fashions!
