Rjh I sss?as fe " ** Afraid of a Shadow. Margaret J. Preston, in the Christian Intelligencer, gives the following incise dent as told by Scotch clergyman whom she heard recently in Torquay, in England : I was sitting in my study one Saturday evening, when a message cama to me that one of the godliest among the shepherds who tended their tlocks upon the slopes of our highland hills was dying, and wanted to see a minister. Without loss of time I crossed the wide heath to his comfortable little cottage. When I entered the lowroom, I found the old shepherd propped up with Ipillows, and breathing with such difficulty that it was apparAO w Itii! an<1 Clil UC VTiU licat Ilia vuu. "Jean," he said to liis wife, "gie the r minister a stool and leave us for a bit, for I wad see the minister alone." As soon as the door closed he turned the most pathetic pa>r of gray eyes upon me I had ever looked into, and said in a voice shaken with emotion, "Minister, I'm dying, and?and?I'm afraid!" I began at once to repeat the strongest promises with which (tod's word furnishes us, but in the midst of them he stopped me. "I ken them a'," he said mournfully, "I ken them a'; I ut somehow they dinna give me comfort." r - *'I>o you not believe them ?" "Wi a' my heart," he replied, earnestly. "Where, then, inhere any room for fear, with such a saving faith?" "For a' that, minister, I'm afraid, I'm afraid!" I took up the well-worn Bible which lay on his bed, and turned to the ? psalm which I have read you to-day. "You remember the twenty-third psalm ?" I began. "Remember it?" he said, vehement1? 4AT if Inncr ufnro va wjIS ly I ftCIIUCU lb 1VL1^ MWIV j w .. born; ye need na' read it; I've conned it a thousand times on the hillside." "But there is one verse you have not taken in." He turned upon me with a half reproachful and even stern look. "Did I na' tell ye I kenned it every word long afore ye was born ?" I slowly repeated the verse, "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death 1 will fear no evil, for thou art with me." "You have been a shepherd all your life, and you have watched the heavy shadows pass over the valleys and the hills, hiding for a little while the light and the sun. Did these shadows frighten you ?" "Frighten me?" he said quickly. "Na, na; David Donaldson has Covcnauter's blud in his veins; neither shadows or substance could weel frighten him." "But did these shadows u&ver make you believe thst you would not see the sun ap^iti, that it was gone forever?" "Na, na ; I could na' be sic a simpleton a* that." "Nevertheless, that is just what you are doing now." He looked at me with incredulous eves. '"Yes," I continued, "the shadow 01 ft - death is over you, and it hides for t little the Sun of Righteousness, win shines all the same behind it; but it't only a shadow, remember?that's what the psalmist calls it; a shadow thai will pass, and when it has passed, be fate you will he the everlasting hills in kt" ffcefr unclouded glory." ; The old shepherd covered his facc with his trembling hands, and for n jaw minutes maintained an unbroken ?> . silence ; then letting them fall straight y, before him on the coverlet, he said, as p if musing to himself, "Aweel. aweel; flgL'; I hae conned that verse a thousand times among the heather, and I never understood it afore. Afraid of a shadfe ow, afraid of a shadow !" Then turn> ing upon me a face now bright with an ?* almost supernatural radiance, he explained, lifting his ey<\s reverently to heaven. "Aye, aye; I see it a' now. Death is only a shadow?shadow? with Christ behind it?a shadow that will pass? na, na, I'm afraid nae mair.'* Converts from Rome. The present Secretary of Slnte, James G. Blaine, is not the lirst eonvert from Rome that has been a member of the Cabinet. The late Mr. Dans..\ >r : /\P tlm Ti'nnon. ltj| lUULllllllg, OCtlClillJ Ul lllb iisuuu ry in Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet, was ;also a convert from the Roman Catholic Church. He became a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church, while Mr. Blaine is a Congregationalist, though he worships in a Presbyterian Church in Washington. Though Mr. Blaine is very friendly to the Roman Catholics and courts the Roman Catholic vote in politics, the rough element in that Church looks upon him as an apostate from the ''true Church." When his eldest daughter, the wife of Colonel Coppinger, of the United States Army, died last January she was buried from St. Matthew's Roman Catholic Church, Washington, as she had become a Roman Catholic at the time of her marriage. When the fu neral procession entered the church the husband, as a devout Roman Catholic, made a genuflection towards the altar on which reposed the host, but Mr. Blaine as a Protestant did not bow to the wafer. This aroused the wrath of the Roman Catholics in the gallery, and they loudly hissed the Secretary. Cardinal Gibbons, who was present to pronounce the benediction over the remains of Mrs. Coppinger, did not rebuke his unmannerly followers. Doubtless he thought Mr. Blaine deserved the hissing on general principles for abandoning the faith of Koine, and in particular for not acknowledging the power of the priests to transubstantiate the wafer into the '"body and blood, soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ," asHhe Roman Catholic catechism says. Worms and the Grave.?A reM qo*to 'PnAnln follr euro in UCUl WlltCl OOJO . 1. W|/1V IM4IX of the 'worms' which devour the dead. Here is another falsity. Our bodies moulder and decay; but they are not eaten. Worms are engendered, not by corruption, but by liies, which must lay the eggs from which they issue; and no flies have power to penetrate so far into the earth as th? depth at which the dead are usually laid. Wrong feelings about dead bodies and the grave do more than anything else to vitiate religious teaching, to hinder consolation for the loss of friends, and in general, to mar faith iu immortality. Happy the day when all shall learn that the corpses of the departed are no more than relinquished garments of living men and women?temples of God in which divine service is over and finished, the chanting hushed, the aisles deserted aud to be contemplated with as little terror and revolting as we gaze at the silent ruins of Kivaulx or Tintern." But temples, we would add, in which a diviner service after awhile will be performed ; ruins that will be recovered into a more beautiful and costly shape by the Divine Architect] in the Resurrection Day. To say that a man is a thorough scbo ar or carpenter, is to say lie is modest and willing to learn, while thej distinguishing mark of quack and charlatan is bombast and pretense. ! Thoughts for the New Year. Renewed feelings of ambition are! synonomous with the opening of anew < year. More resolutions are made than ' at any other time, and as often are < they alas ! broken. i5ut with some the i resolutions made with the dawn of a s new year have been carried through to i its close. Numerous lives of honor < and achievement can be traced toj< j some determination of purpose made j upon an occasion such as the first day I ' of a year affords tor a fresh start in the i journey of life. We all desire success ; i the problem of life is its winning. Ev- i ery person carries in his or her own < hand the key that unlocks either the door of success or failure. The true I key of success is labor, and it requires | a strong, resolute will t<? turn it. It is ? hard, earnest work, step by step, that i ensures success, and never was this < truth more potent than at the present < time. Positions of trust and eminence i are no longer secured at a single leap. ] Men and women have ceased to sue- J ceed in a hurry. Occasionally there i ---ii t-~ .... l.nf ilin iiwtilni'tw I Will Ut" Uli t'AWpilUIi J UUV UlV * L.uv?,..xw. I are rare. Success, a writer has said, is j the child of confidence and perseverance, and never was the meaning of a s word more clearly defined. The secret 1 of many successful careers is the thor- i ough performance of whatever has i been undertaken. An excellent max- i im is that which counsels us never to 1 put our hands to anything into which i we cannot throw our whole energies I harnessed with the very best of our endeavors. Perseverance is essential to success, siuce it is often achieved only through a succession of failures. In spite of our best efforts, failures are in : store for the majority of the race. It remains, then, for us all to do the best [ we can under all circumstances, bearing in mind that races are not always won t>y the swiftest feet, nor triumphs in battle secured by the strongest arms. It is not so much the possession of swiftness or strength as it is the right application of them by which success is ensured. In starting out upon the journey of life, it is well: Tr.*?a "Kloin OVOI-V IrPfliel of r US l, IU UV1U 111 Vivrj knowledge within your reach. Study people for the knowledge they can impart to you.

To take away all sentiment from the re, lation of husband and wife, of parent and child, of brother and sister, or of friend and friend, is to deprive that relation of its chief charm, and to leave it without the possibility of true joy to either of its parties. If the sentiment ' that makes the life of yonng lovers so . full of gladness and hope be continued into the years of the married stale, the progress of the years only increases the nope and gladness of *,he life; but if that sentiment be permitted to die out, I lifo ili-oiKi mnro n?w1 mow Weilrilv 111U JUC liiv/tv WWM ? ? v us the years go on. No provision of home and food and clothing can compensate for the lack of loviDg looks aud words that are the promptings of pure sentiment between those whostlives are linked in inevitable companionship. Nor can any continuance of helpful service between friends be a continuance of friendship, without the controlling sentiment of friendship. < Let those who would have the joys of any loving relation in life, guard sacredly the sentiment of that relation. S. S. Times. + <?$> ? - ? ? The saddest thing under the sky is a "am! oquoKIa nf QflilnASfl. ouul " ? He who reins within himself, and rules passious, desires, and fears, is more than a king. To overlook nothing in others is often a proof that we overlook a great deal iu ourselves. Prosperity often makes a man a vortex instead of a fountain, so instead of throwing out he learns to draw in. Teacher (to dull boy of the class)? "Which New England State has two capitals?" Boy?"New Hampshire." Teacher?"Indeed ! Name them." ' Boy?"Capital N and capital H." Harper'8 Bazar. "There are a great many things that God will put up with in the human heart: there is one thing that he will . not put up with?a second place. He who gives (?<>d a second place gives him no place." Few men suspect how much mere talk fritters away spiritual energy; that which should he spent in action, 1 spends itself in words. Hence he who restrains that love of talk, lays up a fund of spiritual strength. Death to every man is a great reality which he cannot escape. Happy is he i who so lives that ho can meet this event without alarm, and anticipate ! for himself a better life when called to ! retire from this earthly scene. It is sometimes said of a man that i "he knows no fear." Such a man, if i there is any such, is himself to be feared. He is "an approach to insensibili- , ty, like cast iron or stone. He knows j nothing of religious trust, for "the ( man who has never feared has never i trusted." , Good manners are the blossoms of i good sense and of good feeling. If the j law of kindness be written on the heart, it will lead to that disinterested- ] ness in great and little things?that j desire to oblige, and that attention to < the gratification of others, which are < the foundation of good manners. Christian love cannot be cultivated, ; nor envy destroyed in our hearts, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. We i may as well try to pull up by the roots ? the oak of a century's growth, or over' 1 ; turn a mountain by our own strength, ' laslo eradicate the vice of envy from 1 jour hearts, without the aid of God's 1 own Spirit: that ail is promised to fer- 1 | vent and persevering prayer, and if we < have it not, the fault is our own. f i There is no country like France for starting journals. During 1889 no less than 050 new newspapers were brought j: out, of which not one remains in life. I On the other hand, the Petit Journal now claims a circulation of 1,095,000) copies, During the same period there were printed in France over 15,000 1 nt w b:>oks, including5,000 new musi- 1 cal pie vs. 1 Sculptors Outwitted. It is told of an arlist named Giorgi)iie, who was a firm friend of the great , ritian, that three young sculptors one ' Jay asserted in his presence that theirs tvas a much finer art than painting, md one of them gave as a reason that n painting only one side of a figure joukl be seen, while in sculpture all jidt-s could be represented. Gioigione luswering this said he could show the jack, the face, and both sides of a man n a picture, and that all could be seen it a glance without the necessity of talking around a3 one would have to lo with a statue. Xhe sculptors only laughed at liini, jut finally made a wager with him lhat he could not do thi?, which they >aid would be a miracle. Giorgione , vsked for four days' time, at the end of which he agreed to produce the picture 1 ">r pay two hundred sequins. Titian < [bought his friend was crazy, for they < liad very little money and he felt sure j lie could not show four sides of a fig- , are in one painting, and would have to J pay the bet. He did do it though, and ! it* o iroiMT c ? m ?\lo nr o \,T On the fourth day, when the three sculptors arrived, Giorgione displayed ' [lis picture. It represented a warrior, 1 who, having his back turned toward ] the spectator, stood looking at himself . in a fountain, in whose limpid waters ( liis full front figure was reflected. At < the left of the warrior was suspended 1 his suit of polished steel armor, in which was mirrored with exact fideli- , ty the whole of his left side. At the 1 right was painted a looking-glass, which reflected that side; and thus, in a perfect though whimsical manner, Giorgione had fully succeeded in representing at the same time the four sides of the same figure. All Venice thronged to see this curious production, and the three young sculptors who had provoked the bet paid their money with a good grace, readily confessing their own defeat, and the triumph of Giorgione. What is a Modkl Wife??A model wife is the woman in whom the heart of her husband doth safely trust. She is the woman who looks after his household, and makes her hospitality a delight to him, and not a burden. Who has learned that a soft answer will turn away wrath. Who keeps her sweetest smiles and most loving words for her hushaud. Who is h: ^..niiiiant in sorrow or in ioy. raid who does not feel the necessity* of explaining her private affairs to the neighborhood. Who respects the rights of husband and children, and in return has due regard paid to her. Who knows that the strongest argument is her womanliness and so she cultivates it. Who is sympathetic in joy, or in grief, and who finds work for her hands to do. Who makes friends and keeps them. Who is not made bitter by trouble, but who strenghtens and sweetens under it. Who tries to conceal the faults of her husband rather than blazon them forth to an uninterested public. The woman whose life-book has love written on every oaire. Who makes a'home for a man?a home in a house and in a heart. A home that he is sure of, a home that is fiill of love presided over by one whose price is above rubies. Ladies' Jlome Journal. Not very long ago a young lady entered a Market Street bookstore and was met by an obsequious clerk, who asked what he could show her. "1 want oue of Holmes's works." "Holmes?Holmes?what Holmes?" "Doctor Holmes. I want the 'Autocrat of the Breakfast Table.' " ''This way, please." An exhaustive search on a remote r_it A.l ol^L S1JU1I 1UIIUWCU, U1IV1 HIUVM Hiv apologetically remarked : "I am very sony.

I find it an evil thing to live with ihose who can give me no sympathy, however good and worthy they may be for they teach me to lock up my heart and all its feelings, which produces spiritual congestion as bad for the soul as congestion in any bodily organ. Thomas Ernkinc. There is nothing better for a cut than powdered rosin. Pound it until fine, and put it into an empty clean pepper-box with perforated top, then you can easily sift it on the cut; put a soft cloth around the injured member, and wet it with cold water once in "a while. It will prevent inflammation and soreness. Mr. Vick is quoted as saying that the "white worm," or any other worm, in pots, may be destroyed by sticking three or four common matches down into the soil, also one or two up in the drain opening. The phosphorous on the match is certain death to animal life, and a powerful fertilizer for plants. A half dozen varieties each of summer and winter apples that are adapted to the season and the market will pay better than a great number. Young vines produce beautiful fruit, but old vines the richcst. Revenge, however sweet, always costs more than it is worth. ? ? ? I)o not grieve witn a secret ana silent sorrow over the memory of those whom you have loved and lost. Let your prayer be, ''Lead me to the Hock that is higher than I." If it he answered, you will find comfort and consolation in the sympathizing heart of a suffering Saviour. Learn to prize the rod that smites, and you will find it the rod of a friend, not of an euemy, the rod of reproof, not that of anger. There are great lives that fashion themselves in prayer. Their communion with God gives them somewhat of iignity of their associations. All the belittling things of life are obscured and hidden under the august conceptions that engross the mind when it is holding fellowship with God. Outwardly, such a life is filled with the peace and warmth of the Gospel, and i it is fruitful in spiritual results that shall be counted among the treasures :>f heaven. ,ri"" ti.ica t!i!H ' Kvorv ' mirvs iiawi^ui /ear, r might also say every day, that r live, I seem to see more clearly how ill the rest and gladness and power of jur Christian life hinges on one thing, md that is. 'Taking God at His Word,' >elieving Unit He really means exactly what he says, and accepting the very words in which He reveals His? good' ness and grace, without substituting )thers or alteriug the precise moods ind tenses which He has seen lit to jse." Of all the gifts that nature can give js, the faculty of remaining silent, or >f answering apropos, is perhaps the nost useful.
