The Home of XegKtfuli. !< AN EXQUISITE STORY. Lainartine, the great Eastern trav-i eler, relates the following exquisite , story: In the tribe of Neggdah, there wash a horse whose fame had spread far and ^ < near, and a Bedouin of another tribe, j, byname Daher, desired extremely to] possess it. Having offered in vain for ' it his camels and whole wealth, he hit I at length upon the following device, by i which he hoped to gain the object of ( his desire: He resolved to stain his face with the juice of an herb, to 1 clothe himself in rags, to tie his legs < and neck together, so as to appear like * a lame beggar. Thus equipped, ho ( went to wait for Jsabor, the owner of the horse, whom he knew was to pass ( that way. i When he saw Nabor approaching 011 ( his beautiful steed, be cried out in a , weak voice: "I am h poor stranger, for three days I have been unable to move from < this spot to seek for food. I am dy- ( ing. Help me, and heaven will re- . ward you." The Bedouin kindly offered to take ( him on his horse and carry liim home, I but the rogue replied: ] "I cannot rise; I have no strength , left." Nabor, touched with pity, dismount- ( ed, led his horse to the spot, and with I great difficulty set the seeming beggar ( on his back. But no sooner did Daher feel himself in the saddle than he set 1 spurs to the horse and galloped oil', > calling out as he did so: "It is I, Daher; I have got the horse and am off with it." Nabor called after him to stop and listen. Certain of not being persued, he turned and halted at a short dis- 1 tance from Nabor, who was armed with a spear. "You have taken my horse," said fhe latter. "Since heaven has willed 1 it, I wish you joy of it; but I do conjure you never to tell anyone how you obtained it." "And why not?" said Daher. "Because," said the noble Arab, 1 "another man might be truly ill, anil men fear him. You might be the cause of many refusing to do an act of \ eharity, for fear of being duped as I have been." Struck with shame at these words, Daher was silent for a moment, then springing from the horse, and embracing its owner, returned it to him. Nabor made him accompany him to Phis tent, where they spent some days together, and became fast friends for life. This beautiful instance of showing kindness to enemies, and taking the spoiling ot our goods joyfully, as very noble in one who has never learned the principles of self-denial and forgiveness from the Gospel of Christ. 1 And it is a shame to those who pro- < fes9 to follow the example of holy Je- | sus, that they are so often selfish and , revengeful, and impatient, and so fre- ' auently suffer themselves to be outone in acts of Christian benevolenct by many a poor superstitious child of . unbelief, whose works of uprightness ' might well adorn the faith ot the Lord ' Jesus. : My friends, if you love the Saviour, let your affection for Him be manifest- | ed By good works. Then you will b( , AnioflnO 'Urr?rvTTn OT1/1 VnO/1 A f ' living CplC3UVOj IVUW1IU MIIV( ivtivi W. all." And the Son of God will fulfill 1 that sweet promise unto you : "If a man love me, he will keep my words ; and my Father will love liim, and we will come unto him, and we will make our abode with him."?John xix : 23. Selections from tie Ctiristian Neighbor. A Divine Quorum. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Matthew xviii: 20. What an encouragement?not to have a small congregation?but to a small congregation?"two or three"?a scriptural quorum for either family, social or congregational woiship. In my name?not to see and be seen, not to hear the neighborhood news, not with the purpose of transacting a little secular business, not expecting to meet 11 some particular person, not to pass : away the time, not because it is ex- \ pected or customary and that thereby t one may give ease to and secure ap- l proval from a formality conscience that whispers, I have been to church to-day. The "two or three" may be men or they may be women. They may be rich or poor, they may be learned or ' unlearned, they may be old or young ' or middle aged, they may be caipeu- ' ters, farmers, lawyers, doctors, mer- , chants, day-laborers, cooks, washerwomen, hostlers, boot-blacks, legisla- 1 tr?ro onnofroaampn inrlirpc or frnvPl'll- * "" "I , J.-5? ... 0 ors. It matters not who the "tvvo 01 three are if they meet in the name ol Jesus?expecting anil preparing to 1 meet with him who is the life, the i f truth and the way. ''Where"?In the "church" or meet- 1 ing house, in a neighbor's house, in an ' upper room, in the grove or in any otlr 5 er place?"where"?"there"? Where * they are gathered together, there ami' in the midst of them, to extend mercy and to bestow grace to help in time of " need. If Jesus is found to be there then * shall the "two or three" be able to say, 1 "It is good for us to be here." If Jesus be not in the midst of them, who have met together, there is something wrong : not in the place of meeting, nor in the number of those who have ' met, but one or more of those present ^ have failed in conforming 10 me cnar- . acter of those in the midst of whom ' Jesus declares he will be. If Jesus be 4 not "in the midst" of them who meet . together, then it is certain they have J not met in his name. Application : If Jesus be not in the midst let each of those present set; if 1 there be not in him some iniquity which has been so displeasing to Jesus as to keep him away. Let the prayer 0 be, "Search me, O God, and know my r heart: try me, and know my thoughts*: e and see if there be any wicked way in e me, aud lead me in the way everlast- . ing." Flesh of Diseased Animals. t During the prevalence of the rinder- 1 pest in England in 1863, enormous s quantities of meat from diseased ani- e mals was sent to market, sold and eaten, It has been estimated that one-third of the meat sold in England is meat of 1 diseased animals.?Dr. Geo.

True Christianity is divided into two) branches?that which is experimental, ind that which is practical. These are, aflen separated, though inseparable. Due man emphasizes experience, aw-, uther stresses what may be termed external righteousness. In true religion, :he two always go together, and one is considered of as much importance as lie other. A religion that has no vita! jxperience?no peace of God in the soul, no joy in the Holy G'liost, no joy3iis hope of heaven, and 110 abiding onsciousuess of acceptance with God, is only a religion of form, and destitute ?1I nnn-HI' Oil tllC OtllCl' Jl Ul I Oll.W.fc, J'" "v.. liand, a religion that is disconnected with practice, that docs not lead to )l>edience and outward conformity to God's law as the one and only rule of faith and action, is false and calculated snly to deceive its votaries. But. unite [lie two, an .l you have a religion?the religion of the Bible?that saves soul md body from sin and all its consejuences, here and hereafter. It is both what we experience and what we do that constitutes us Christ's disciples :md heirs of His kingdom. "Except a man be born again, he can not see the kingdom of God." "Christ is formed in you, the hope of glory." "Rejoice in the Lord always." "Rejoice ever more." "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace," etc. Here is the experience, rich and full. Without it, religion is only a name?an empty, cold, joyless, lifeless formality, notwithstanding all its external paraphernalia. "Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I say unto you." "Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say." If any man love me, he will keep my words." "If ye love me, keep my commandments.". Here is the practice?outward conformity of life to the precepts and commandments of Christ, whom we call, "Lord, Lord," in recognition of His absolute authority over us. A religion comprehending these two ?practical and experimental?elements, or vital principles, is a religion that will stand all the crucial tests Of the day of final account, and is worth to us infinitely more than all the selfdenial and self-mortification that it costs us. Hence the true Christian differs essentially, not only from all who ;ire profane and immoral in their lives, but from all who are carnal and worldly in their spirit. The life he lives is x life "hid \vith Christ in God,"?a spiritual life. He is "a new creature in Christ," "crcated auew unto good works." He lives a new life?"old things have passed away," and all things have become new to him in Dhrist Jesus. The unrenewed man isinfluenced and directed by the powers )f nature, the spirit of the world, and :he customs and habits of men. His ife is a life of carnality. He lives "in he flesh," and "walks after the flesh." rhe Christian is influenced by the 'i'vinA irvnrm ic llV Jl lUti[/lVO V/i umuv j-,* a., . ^ v, --^ ;he Spirit," and is governed by the aw of Christ. In him "the flesh is rucified with its affections and lusts." ile is "raked from a death of sin unto i life of righteousuess. "I am ciueiied with Christ, nevertheless I live, :et not I, but Christ liveth in me," ex)rcs.ses it all. Such is true Christianiy, as it exists in the soul, and becomes Manifested in the outward life. See _5al. o : U-25, and Eph. 4 :17-.'>2. Reader, have you read the passages eferred to? Then what do you think ?t. Paul would say of the life of many irofessed Christians of our day and Wlmf wnnlrl lift snv of V0U1' ife? N. K. M. What Good Without Peacc ? Peace, Peace, the Prince of Pcace, uul he is our exemplar, and he is our peace, the lirst expression of pardon is peace, the first fruit of the Spirit is peace, and great peacois the constant experience of the loyal, loving heart. To he peaceful among the jarring elements of this life Is a wonder of grace, f*ea a gracious wonder alike to the rejipientand to the beholder. "Peace je still," is ever an astonishment even ;o the disciples of Jesus whether spok?n to the angry elements in nature or ;o the raging passions iu man. Yea. m astonishment because they hear ind obey. How much we need the sanctifying intluenccs of the Spirit to ippreheud the truth, this truth in all )f its fulness and freeness. Take away 'rom the church to-day the taunt, the sneer, the reproach that the professors >f the peace loving Savior use toward ;ach other and this before a gainsayug world, and we should behold her ilntliftd in the beautiful robes of risrht xmsness. "Who when he was revil:d, reviled not again ; when he sufler;d he threatened not" and this for >eace Bake. Did any have a more ighteous cause than Jesus? Might le not defend himself from tlie revilngs of his foes in sufl'ering? Might le not at least free himself? The first iaw of nature" so called would t not assert itself now? would not the ire that devoured the adversaries and he earth that swallowed the presumpious sinner, in the old time at his cry :onsume them from the face of the >arth? Tl^e cry came hut it was the :ry of peace "Father forgive them." This with his other cry "It is linish;d" made reconcilement or peace j.osiible. While the angels sang at the nception of this great one thought of lie reconciling of man to himself in lie birth of the infant .Redeemer. kVhat must have been their joy and ?ong when the work of redemption snded m the cry of Jesus and rcconiilement between man and God was lossible.

Our Relation to Each Other. Dear Xcighbor: My last communication on Christian Journalism, together with a line of thought presented in a sermon last Sabbath, have suggested for present consideration, Our relation to each other. This is of course a comprehensive subject, and can only be touched upon in a short newspaper article. Our relation to each other is a lesson the world is taking its time to learn. The in difference, or the want of concern for others, is a spirit deplorably vast in force and circulation among men, even under the boasted light "of these the closing years of the nineteenth century." The same spirit which developed in Cain the act of murder is still rife among us. "Am I my brother's keeper?" ?aclc of this interrogative answer, rested the great difficulty, and therefore had recently found shape in thn niiiVilni1 f\f A l?ol This brief historical account concerning Cain and Abel, shows even at this curly stage of human history, the possibilities of human nature, either for good or evil. It is the second account we have, bringing out the hidden forces, and contrasted possibilities of human life. It shows what a man can be practically, when he lives a life of obedience to God and truth, and from the same picture, we also see, into what extremes of disobedience a man may drift, aud iuto what depths of sin and crime he may fall, when he cultivates wrong sentiments, and wilfully Ignores God and law. Cain's life prior to the commission of murder, had its tendency in that direction, and when he had educated himself for that class of work, itrtaoi? but little effort to commit, the deed, as soon as the occasion offered. Men educate or quaiuy tnemseives for the performance of certain lines of action, aud it only takes the occasion, which springs into play the passions thus cultivated to consummate the deed. A man may have hatred and murder in his heart, and yet never commit the actual deed, although in sentiment, and cultivation, and in the developments of the faculties of his nature, he is thoroughly equipped and prepared for that class of crime. He has qualified himself for it by harboring hate, and by habitually fostering such thoughts and sentiments, as make this spirit, the prominent feeling and feature of his life. What ever men do most they do best. There are men in this country today, who have thought wrong, and desired wrong, until they have almost disqualified themselves for any thing else. All this antagonizes human and divine relation. It paralyzes all social sympathy. It destroys the possibilities of a man's life for good. Sentiment and action always stand as near, ly related as the laws of society will allow. Principles fostered, make character sure. Cain expressed it all when he said, "Am I my brother's keeper?" We want no better proof of this than the crime he had so recently committed. A want of individual concern for others grows out of selfishness, hate, and a total ignorance of .our relation to God, and our race, it matters not in whom developed, or by whom committed. It is this spirit which lies at the back of all the crime of our narM/vm 41w\ liirrliacf in fhn lntiroct. llULi 1&U1U HIV? ill^UVOb vvr inv w iivwk grades of society. All this idea of "civil tvar," (what a misnomer!) claimed as a product of patriotism, only springs from the sad fact, that wrong ideas, false opinions, and brutal hatred, get the ascendency, and thereby demonstrate the possibility of human nature's wrong tendency. History shows beyond doubt, that the whole cultivation, development, and final result of such education, is to ruin. It disorganizes society, and glooms as well as retards the higher and better growth of humanity. W. Smith Martin. I)o What Good You Can. Whether the world is getting worse are or growing better and whether people be optimists or pessimists it is the present and pressingduty of every norson livinirto do all in his power to I w make the world better?to reduce or abolish evil and to increase aud establish "whatsoever things are true, 1 whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever thigs are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report." Every one can [do something to decrease evil or to promote good. Jesus , said of the woman who anionted his i head with very precious ointment, "She hath done what she could." A certain poor widow cast into the treas- , ury "two mites," all her living. Let no one add falsehood to wicked slothfulness by saying," I can do nothing." Is there any one line of life more i comprehensive and certain of good 1 than that specified and enjoined in the 1 Christian Scriptures bv many such sentences as these three? "Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another." "Follow peace with all men and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord." "wee that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men." The great Stewart will case is at last settled? $40,000,000 having dwindled to 1-5,000,000. The tangible results of one man's lifet-ime energies are scattered like chafF before the wind.
