wi' . * *\ ? The Word was God. With God He was, was very God, Before the skies were arched abroad ; Before ttie stars were set on high, To syllable Ills majesty; Ere earth had her foundations laid. Or out of dust was mortal made; With God Ho was, was very Mod, He who for us the winepress trod. The world Hit; coming waited long. The theme of prophecy and sons;; Yearned up to God, through blood and Tire, Unsatisfied her one desire; And all crc-ation groaned afresh ; To see God manifest in lle.-h ; To see earth's tribes, scattered abroad. Gathered In One, the sons of (lod. When Time was ripe, of woman born. Men turned upon llim in their scorn; A Man of sorrows and of grief. In vain He sought on earth relief; Homeless by day, at night no bed. Nor pillow for His weary head; For Him no respite could there be, Till finished was His ministry. He walked beneath the circling sun, Spake but the word, and it was done; Rebuked the waters in their might. Gave to the blind their longed-for sight; He spake, the deaf were quick to hear, The rifled tomb contested Him near, So gracious He to guide and trach. The common people loved His speech. The shiv'ring rocks were rent in twain, 4- And earth herself felt throes of pain; The sun for shame, in his high place, Hid fiom the sight his very lace; The startled tombs gave up their dead, When thi?

Several times in my boyhood ami early life I was very badly taken in. 1 thought I would tell some of the young people how it was, that they may keep their eyes open. When 1 was a little fellow, 1 took a long walk and got very tired. An old gentleman said to me, ".So you got tired, did you ?" "Yes," I answered. "Well," said he, "the next time you go to take a walk I can tell you what to do; it you get, very ureu jmuk uj> ? heavy log aud carry it until you are so tired that you can scarcely stand up. Then drop the log, and, being relieved of that great weight, you will shoot along as fresh as a lark." So the next time I went to walk I got so tired that I could scarcely go along, and was foolish enough lo pick up a big stone and struggle along with it about twenty yards, and then dropped it and expected to "shoot" forward, and I did for about three steps, when 1 was ten times as tired as I was before I took the stone up. I learned from that that some helps are worse than none. Another time I saw a stidled dog on < a porch. He was the most perfect image of a living dog, and I thought for a few minutes that he was alive, and said to a gentleman who was walking with me, "Is that dog dead or alive V" Said he, "He is dead ; he is a stuffed / dog; but every time he hears Vic yak open he barks." I worked the gate four or five limes backward and forward, but there was ..J | Kit- it; n 11 mi 11 ill ir. |! liU SUUIIU. num AV ?, ?? ~ ..0. W He doesn't bark." "Well," said the man, "lie has not board the gate open, has he?" I learned from that that when any & thing is said to you it is not always sale to take theJirht meaning of it, but tur-i it over in the mind. When 1 got t" be a little older I went to a book auction and looked over ihe catalogue, and picked out four or live books which I thought I would like to have, ami in a little while the auctioneer began and called oil'one of unhooks, and said, "Here is a gieat book ?Mr. Emerson's Representative Men ; how much for this? Have I a bid?" And somebody said, "Fifty cents." 1 said, "Fifty-live;" the auctioneer went went on, '.'Fifty-five, lifty-liw, liftyft&fe live," as fast as he could talk, and got going so fast he could not say fifty, but I saidjiaay?jiauy-jivv. ouim-wmj said ''Sixty," ami he went on. I .-aid, "Sixty-live," and they kept adding on and on, and finally 1 said, "Two dollars," and got it. In a similar way 1 bought all the books I had picked i.ut. Then I went into a book-store and asked the priee of tlio.se books and found " that I had paid about seventy-live cents apiece more lor these shopworn books than I could have bought them new for in any store. I learned from that that the time to keep your head clear is when you are making a bargain. The man who wants to sell may be glad to jret you excited, and the man who wants' to buy rnusl keep cool. t VVheD I had grown still older I had a sore throat, and instead of going to a good physician that lived near me I thought I would send to one whose ad vertisemeuts I saw in mi me papers. I wrote to him, telling liini 1 was a young man earning my own way and I had a sore throat, and I would like him to send me something that would be good for it, aud to make the terms \ as reasonable as lie could, as 1 had not very much money. So lie sent me two jiills and a prescription for a nartjlc for my throat. One of tiie.se pilU 1 took. The oilier I have yet. When I went to have the gargle put up I noticed that the prescription contained two things; one was chloride of sodium aud the other was capsicum. ? I happened to say to the dru?gi->t, "What kind of a thing is chloride of sodium?" "Why," said he, "it is common table, mil." Then I said, "What kind of a thing is ciqiaicum?" Said he, "I is common red pepjicr." Then I showed him one of tiie pills, and he said, "That is a blue i iiI.'* Now I had to pay $^o for that, medicine?that is, I paid $^0 for a pill that I could have bought for twenty cents aud to liud out that salt and pepper mixed with vinegar or water would make a goo<- gargle for the throat. You see that i have given you this prescription for nothing. What js the moral of this story? Never be deceived by great names. Chloride of sodium is salt, and cap.-i " nn-non . lv.it uillill Willi 111 UII1II IO , UIH think, as I did, that such a prescription was much more valuable with the big name than with the common name. Whenever any one uses big words do not be deceived by the words; find out what the thinys arc that the words mam. J will give you one lucre, which will do for this time. Once I was going to take a train to go to an important place. 1 knew that I had just about time enough to catch it if I walked very last. I overtook a man on the way and ha said, "Where are you going?" I said "I am going to take the 10:40 train." "<>," said he, "do not be in a hurry ; I am going to take that train." Wo 1 waited behind and walked along arid had a piea.-anl chat with him; but when 1 got there the train had been gone about time minutes, and it cost me a largo sum to reach the place by a special conveyance. What is the moral of that ? When you know you arc right, go ahead on your own account, and let the other man keep up to you. That is one lesson, and there are a good many more ; the most serious of which is, never put oil'giving your heart to God because somebody else gays, "I am going to do it sometime; wait for me and we will both do it together." Editor New York Christian Advocate. t rrj^rxaanor licflUI'aUMlf. There came one day to a humble parsonage away down in the Stale of Maine a visitor lor a day and night. Ile was elegantly dressed; his clothes were of the latest cut and style; his I toots shone; his linen was immaculate; Install silk hat was shiny ; his manner was smooth ; his speech was graeious and winning. The par.-on's wife and children were pleased with him and his descriptions of places which they had heard of only from afar. As the first stiffness of new acquaintance diminished the polish of his language wore off somewliat, and such expressions as uJ>y George," "t.Jorry," "Faith," put in an appearance. These he used first with the children, who didn't seem offended hy them, as they heard them from schoolmates ; hut when lie unconsciously uttered them in the presence of the lady of the house?a lady, indeed, of the old school?she gave him a <piiek, penetrating look which sent a Hush to his fjieu and confusion to nis manner. The flush subsided, hut his ease of manner did not return. He evidently felt that his disguise had been penetrated, and that in her eyes he stood for what he was?a veneered gentleman, a gentleman on the outside, not 011 the inside. In Hint family visitors were not ui.cussed after they t<?<?k tlioir leave. It was considered unworthy to do that; but the mother, who never indulged in any language or behavioral home that siie forbade herself away from home, made occasion to remark to her childivu that if they were in the habit of using slang expressions, of failing in courtesy to each other, of allowing themselves to sit in awkward and ungraceful positions, of eating clumsily or greedily, of talking loudly, some or all of these things would come out just when tiiev were oil" guard and shame them; that the only way to have perfect manners is to be interiorly refined and gentle, and then one's manners would be an expression of one's sell and not a garment assumed for an occasion ; and she added as proof of all this the text, "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth spenketh." There is a certain polish of manner that comes only from attrition with ot tiers, with the best classes in society ; but this polish nui.it lie distinguished from genuine refinement, which is not merely upon the surface, not a veneer, inn (>r the nature of leaven, pervading and transforming the whole being and all its manifestations. . ?6?. * A Child's Influence. A gentleman traveling some tinu since, t<> and lrom the West, met on y>e cars a little girl about twelve year? of age. She was oross-ing the country entirely alone, and without ap|>ivhen sion or anxiety. He found iter remarkably intelligent, and discovering, as children always do, his interest in and sympathy with her, she chatted fre ly and pleasantly with him. therebv beguiling the weariness of the journey. There wa< a number of children on the train, and as evening approached they collected in a group about 1 lit viiimy stranecr. drawn together by the strong bonds of childish sympathy. P?y and hy ilie iitllo voiccs were1 heard, ami many an car unused to sueli strains listened eagerly to the word> they sa*.i}? sweetly together, "Jtsu.loves me." Here, then, was the secret of trusl and confidence. And as she led in singing, not only her young compan ions, hut many a listener, was iuspired hy the same trust ami faith. .iesm loved her, and she gave herself ti| trustingly to his care, feeling that iuj evil would come idyll to hurt her. And was not that young girl a trik missionary, working unconsciously in her .Master's cause ? And here is an illustration of tin power of influence. Probably then was not one person in I hose cars upon the prairies of the West to whose eui> came the voices of those little ones, singing the love of Jcm:s, who would not, for the moment at least, desite (< be a butter man, to live nearer to him who so held the In arts of the children, and nsolve henceforth to make his liIt more acceptable to his Maker. - Q> Aiiyi'.e to Young 3Icn.

You will never know more than you do now; lu-ver. If you live to be ten thousand years old, you will never attain know as mueh as you do now. No hoary headed sage whose Ioiik and studious years were spent in reading men and books, ever knew so much as a l?oy of your age.

The treaty [shall not apply to any crimes commit; ted before iis ratification. : The discussion lasted two hours, and two changes of importance were adopted by the Senate.

Ill sublimity and value "Young's Night Thoughts" are superior to any poeru in blank verse es'er written by any poet iu any language. Christian patience, more precious than "gold that perisheth," does not perish but increaseth more and more the more it is used. It is greatly to be regretted that Shakspeare did not employ his great abilities in a better manner than in writing dramatic verse, a very poor form of poetry, if poetry it can be called. His writings have done a great deal more evil than good in the world. Milton's Paradise Lost, on the whole, is not worth reading. It is the work of a powerful imagination very poorly employed. The hymn of Isaac Watts "Wheu I survey the wondrous cross," is worth greatly more than all the writings of ShnUtjnpnrA nnd Milt/in : and SO is the hymn of Charles Wesley "Jesus lover of my soul." Any Christian or literary man who finds more satisfaction and edification in reading Shakspeare and Milton than in reading Watts and Wesley is most to be pitied. What humble intelligent Christian ever delighted in Shakspeare and Milton on a death-bed in bright view of the holiness and peace and love and glory of heaven ? O Christian beware of lovivy any reading that will aflord you no comfort on your death-bed ! No rites nor ceremonies should encumber the holy and beautiful simplicity of Christian worship. Christ on his cross abolished them all forever, and they are not helps but hindrances iu the worship of- God. j This doctrine I know is "QuakerI If. ) 1 ,.r\ /t.tlV/wl l.itf Mtiob/iricm i*i llip J29II1 3*/ UUlUJ, U\ It V^UUUVIICMI ?w ...V best Christianity the world lias seen since the days of the primitive church. Exercise, Profitable and Unprofitable. Among the many circulars about schemes, enterprises, inventions, improvements, societies, corporations, &c., which find their way to the office of the Nkighijor is one called the' Exerciser." The first thing required is more patience than we generally carry in stock to read a tenth of what is priuted in such average document. The head is about all we can read?obliged to lose the time it takes to toss it towards the waste basket. All we have to say about this "exercise" i* this: If after a man has gone through all the exercises afforded any one day in a farm or shop life, and after a woman has attended to all the claims ol housekeeping he and she feel the need of more exercise let them walk over to their nearest poor neighbor and see ii i.. _ r luey cuu ue ui uuy sei vjcc. Inventions for exercise are in place for invalids or deformed or delicate children or insane people but for men or women who are not ailing or boys or girls to resort to such things for ex. ercise while there is such a demand for work and help in the world is not the better way. Manual labor will give the coveted exercise and, more than that, it will turn out something profitable to those who exercise or to others or to both. Recreation or rest is the need and right of workers. Let them have it. Let them take it. If a member of a church has the right to withdraw has not that church the right to withdraw from a member? If a State has a right to withdraw from the Union has not the Union a right to withdraw from a State? "Is it a good rule that does not work both ways." Whether or no these rights as thus queried are correlative would it not be an instance of condign puuishment and alsooneof self protection ior uie United States to withdraw from the State of Louisiana if her Legislature accept the iufamous and insulting offer of the leprous "Louisiana State Lottery" to pay the debt of the State if the Legislature will renew its charter? I m ? m The George \V. W. Stone Professorship of applied mathematics in Emory College, is going to be endowed. The life of this quiet, serene professor of Emory College has had a mighty influence upon the generations of college students, no one knew how much until this suggestion ; when upon every side they call him blessed, and this educational monument is going to be built. Of him it may well be said, "Behold an Isrealite, indeed, in whom there is uo guile." They are not the noisiest lives that have the most influence, but the quiet stream bears the navies of commerce. Talmage is nothing if not sensational. He loves notoriety and he gets it. He went to see Gladstone recently and took dinner with him. The news, somehow, got all over the country. While in the old country he secured for his new church a stone from the Jordan, a stone from Mount Calvary, and a stone from Mars Hill, where St. Paul is supposed to have preached. Whenever lie could, he would preach where St. Paul or St. Peter preached, and from a text that they used. To cap the climax, in imitation [?] of John the Baptist, he is said to have immersed an American in the river Jordan. Happy Talmage! Carlyle had no very exalted opinion of the" intellectual capacity of Prof. Tyndall, and on one occasion, when Tyndall had been delivering a carefully prepared address, amidst enthusiastic iinnlause. Carl vie, on! his opinion being requested, icplied, with a (lis-1 (lainfill snort, "A philosophy for dogs." You want to lie true, and you are trying to be.

Let patience have her perfect work, and bring forth her celestial fruits. Trust to God to weave your thread into the great web, though the pattern shows it not yet. ...
