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( ,

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- *

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. M. Beard.

I
?p ritual Life,^Or Experience anil!
Practice.
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

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

;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.

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. S. S. B.

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.

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.
