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? Man uoweu ms iiinnmunuui
head,
Who u?sieil death lor you and nie,
Alone that day on Calvary.
"How I was Taken In."
BY THE EDITOK.
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.

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."

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.

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.

: The discussion lasted two hours, and
two changes of importance were adopted

thus limiting the degree of crime
which is made extraditable.

Various Thoupriits.
BY JOHN' HEMMENWAY.
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.

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?

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. Learn these two things
?never t<> be discouraged because good
things get mi slowly here, and never to
fail daily to do that good which lies
next to your hand. I>o not be in a
hurry, but be diligent. Kntcr into
that sublime patience of the Lord. lie
charitable in view of it. God can afford
to wait; why can not we since we
have Him to fidfback upon ? 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.
