If I could only surely know That all these things that tire me so Were noticed by my Lord ! The pang that cuts me like a knife, The noise, the weariness, the strife- What peace it would attord ! I wonder if He really shares In all these little human cares, This mighty King of kings! If He who guides through boundless space Each blazing planet in its place, Can have the condescending grace To mind these petty things. It seems to me, if sure of this, Blent with each ill would come such bliss That I mightcovet pair, And deem whatever brought to me The loving thought of Deity, And sense of Christ's sweet sympathy, Not loss, but richest gain. Dear Lord, my heart shall, no more doubt That fhou dost compass me about With sympathy divine; The love for me once crucified is not the love to leave my side, But waWeth ever to divide Each smallest care of mine. ? In the Loo? Run. ,i . In tiie long run all love is paid by love. Though undervalued by the hearts of earth ; The great eternal Government above Keeps strict account, and will redeem its WSFK. Gi ve thy love freely; do not count the cost. Ho beautiful a thlnu was never lost ie In the long run. Ike's Strange Visitors. I ke Carlton was such a cruel boy! He would pull off the wings of tlies, pin live butterflies to boards, break in the backs of turtles, and amputate the i legs of frogs. When any one remonj strated with hiui about his cruelty, he would cry, "Oh, pshaw! they can't feel much," and then go iu quest of another victim. The long summer days he devoted almost entirely to his. wicked sport, and in time all the neighbors spoke of him as "Hardhearted Ike Carlton." To be sure, the boy hud uo kind parents to teach him hotfpr and the aunt who was bringing him up cared very little what he was about as long as he wa9 not troubling Lher. v One night Ike had not been in bed very long when a brilliant light suddenly filled his room, and he sprany up to see what caused the illumination. There, seated iu his besfretiair, he beheld an immense Ciii. The animal was ..-actually larger than Ike himself, and by the time Ike had recovered from his astonishment at seeing this visitor he discovered on another chair a turtle almost as big as the cat. Near by be saw a butterfly of extraordinary size, and, when his eyes opened wider, he found out that all the beats in the room were occupied by just such strange visitors. In fact, there were more than the chairs could accommodate, and these were seated on the floor. Presently they all began to talk at once, and they made such a hubbub that the cat rapped on a little stand he had drawn up in front of him and said, with a very serious manner, "The meeting will please come to order." i.iutontiir nil vnir>ps were hushed. * '"""""J ? and then a frog who was present stood up on his hind legs, and looked so very funny that Ike would have laughed - outright had not the creature's word* struck terror to his heart. "Mr. President," began the frog, "as the chairman of the committee for preventing cruelty to insects and animals of all descriptions, 1 arise to state what the committee has decided to do. We intend to make the la?t and greatest offender feel what our brothers and sisters have suffered. The culprit is the boy, Ike Carlton. Mr. House Fly is to pull out his eye-lashes aud a large bunch of hair." "Oh! but that will hurt!" yelled Ike from the seaft which he had UikeB on his bed. "That is no consideration," said Mr. President. "You had ne thought foi the feelings of Mr. Fly's brothers when you cruelly pulled off'their wings and legs, and left them to suffer. That hurt, too." "Mr. Bull-frog," continued the chairman of the committee, "you are to cut "ff* ahq rvf hie liiora " Vil VUV Vi UIW ?V^W* "You wicked thing!" screamed Ike, "you don't know what a painful operation that is. Besides, 1 can't walk without my leg." "Neither could Mr. Bull-frog's brother," answered' the cat; "but you cut oft' his leg, and left him wounded and bleeding. It hurt him just as much as it will you." Ike groaned, and wished he had not interfered with frogs. He remembered that he bad thus cruelly treated a poor, helpless one that very morning. "You, Mr. President, are to step on him, and kick him nil around the room." "I won't stand it," cried Ike. "But you will be compelled to staud it," calmly spoke the president. "You made my poor mother endure your kicks aud aDUses." "I'll run out of the room," thoughl Ike, and he quietly slipped to the door, only to find it locked and the key gone. Then he sat down in despair, and waited for further developments." ' And last, but not least," said the chairman of the committee," Mr. Yellow Butterfly is to pin him to a board < so fast that he will nave to stick there i and suffer till he dies." I Ike was in agony. Could it be possi- I ble that these creatures would be cruel I enough to kill him? I "Oh. please, Mr. Cat, don't let them murder me!" he cried, dropping on i his knees before the president. '! am I my aunt's only nephew, aud she would grieve very much if I met such 1 a violent death. And, then, think Jmw it would hurt to have a pin stuck I through my body !" "But you didn't consider the pain ' when you stuck pins through the bodies of many of Mr. Yellow Butter- 1 fly's relations. Neither did you think of the sorrow of the mourners. We must make an example of some boy, ; or these abuses will go on to the end of time. You are the worst offender, aud i at the last meeting we deckled to make an example of you. Our relations are just as sensilive to pain as you are, Mr. Ike Carlton, and have as much right to enjoy the trood things of this world as V you have." "But I don't think how it all hurt," pleaded the frightened hoy, "and I'll promise never, never, never to do it again." After that speech the committee had a consultation, and returned to say that they thought it better to show no mercy. If once let loose, the boy would be as bad as before, and cruel boys had become the terror of the entire animal and insect world. Still Ike continued his pleadings, but the president turned down his furry ears and said to the members, "Form in line." First came Mr. House Fly, who was : all ready to tear out Ike's hair and eyebrows; next came Mr. Bull-frog with his big knife, prepared to amputate the boy's leg; then Mr. President, ready to do his part of the abusing, and lastly Mr. Yellow Butterfly, carrying a ' {irodigious pin with which he was to > asten the unhappy boy to a board. i "Oh, mercy ! mercy !" screamed Ike, and with those words his horrible visi- I tors vanished, and he awoke to the fact that he had been dreaming. "At < any rate," he said to himself, with a!] shiver, "J have been taught a lesson, i ?^2; ; and I'll keep tbat promise I made to' Mr. President. It will be easy enough,! too, for I never again could hurt a liv-l ing thing without feeling what I felt'in my dream." The neighbors wondered thereafter j what had caused such a marvelous1' change to come over Ike C'arlton, forj be grew to be so gentle with insects and animals that his companions for-! got his old nature, and gave him the name of "Ike Carlton, the tenderhearted CongrcgutionaUxt. <ientlemeii of Tlie Secular Press, on 1 Wliieh Side ? If the secular press were charged < with being unfriendly to the cause of 1 morals, there would be from all but i anarchist journals au indignant deni- i al. Indeed many of the secular pa- . pers claim to be aids to the Church in ( futhering the gospel and moral*. . And yet, a secular daily paper of great ? influence in the South, of fine editori- ; al ability, within a week's time has j iiven something after this kindk A man goes deranged in a distant oiaie. i} The condition of his health, the state 11 of his business, the possibility of fam- ] ily distress, and a thousand other 1 causes of mental trouble are ignored, | and with the fact that he had joined i the Church a few mouths before iusid- t uously connected with the statement j of his mental trouble, the telegram is I headed : "To ftluch Religion." t The paper that headlines a fact oi | mental derangement in that manner, i cannot be uniformly friendly to relig- f ion. If it takes much religion to | make men insane, the sanity of the ( paragraphing editor is assured, unless } a very gr^at and marvelous change i shall come him. Religion is the cause 1 of no unsoundness of mind. It is the | Jl frig it a Chart a of the intellect. ( The statistics of insanity attribute ' hundreds of cases to other causes -to < sin in some of its forms?for each case < that is due religion. \ Again: the secular paper above < mentioned tells its readers of a crank ( ?meaning, of course, a halX-sn^.L fellow. The mark of hi* "crankiness was this; Having defrauded the Gov eminent of its dues, unci having come to repentauce, he sent a large sum to the ''conscience fund," at Washington, as his first instalment of the restitution he intended to make. This mag- t nificent spectacle of the majesty ol conscience in man, and of a man" tri- t umpiring over his previous sin and i covetousness, is, according to the editor, the exhibition of crankiness. It 1 is an uuusual exhibition I suppose an j an exhibition some people are incapable of understanding ; but if this is 1 crankiness, what is wisdom ? It must t be wisdom in the mind of the editor, unless he was improperly joking with J serious things, tonold what a man has, ? no matter how he has gotten it, or to < whom it really belongs, is his own merely because he holds it. Is he a t disciple of Iago ? The sentimeut inui < makes honorable restitution for wrong t a murk of folly may be found in keep- i ing with ability to run a newspaper but the paper to that extent is not run t in the interests of decency or eiviliza- I tion. i *'uthermore: an earnest editorial, c manly and outspoken, touching the attempt of the Louisiana State Lot- n tery to indirectly bribe the Legisla- c ture by the otter of $100,000 for levee s purposes, attended with a standing ad- c vertisement of the corrupt and corrupting concern. The editorial is ' commendable. The advertisement of t the thing it condemns is disgraceful. > Twelve minus twelve leaves nothing. I Just that represents the value of u secular paper to the cause of morals when it advertises a tiling it editorially condemns. Now these singular facts concern- ^ ing an exchange have fallen under the i writer's eye within a very short space t or lime, in one paper, it uuc, um v that paper is in geueral a fair speci- i men of others. Gentlemen of the see- I ular press, what are you going to do ' about these matters? If the Louis- t iaiia State Lottery merits reprobation, s why do you give your columns to advertising it? If the restitution of I stolen gain is a duty, why call a man ? "crank" who gives up the stealage oi n the past? If religion is worthy of t having, why give it currency as an t overthrower of the mind ? \ On which side? The religious and e the decent people of this country are c yetting fatigued with this straddling s business, whereby one leg kicks for i the devil and the other for the Lord, s Calling religion the nursery of insani- v ty, and otherwise feebly commending s it; marking a disgorging preverter of J trusts funds as a "crankt" for giving o up what is another's, and yet advo- e eating'honesty ; denouncing lotteries by editorial and aiding them by ad- * vertisement; is very unique strad- r dling. You don't ride well. Dis- t mount, and kick all your kicking on f one side. a L. ?/" in J\"as?irille Christian Ad- s i )'UC((?t\ Men to Beware of. Samuel W. King, at tlie head of one of the largest legal collection concerns in tne country, has met and seen every type of man. From his observations lie has made the following deductions, Imd them printed, and hung in his of- . lice : Beware of the man who 'Swears by \ >ill the gods at once," or one at a time, y lor that matter. Of the man who slaps you between c the shoulders and calls you "old man." 1 No amount of familiarity is an excuse ? for this. Of the man who hyphenates his s words with "er a." Of the man whose salutation is, I "What's the news?" Of the man who asks you, when he has seen you speak to another, "Who's ) your friend?" * Of the man who asks you "Where 1 did you get it?" r Of the man who in leaving savs. . "See you later." Of the man who pokes you in the ribs when he is talking. Of the man who adjusts the lapel of your coat or rubs one sleeve, or both, when he is talking to you. Of the man who talks to you on the train, or on a streei ear, when he never saw you before, unless there is a public crisis. Victor Hugo says that such salutations show public anxiety, and are only excusable when there is public excitement. Sensible fellow, that Hugo.

"I have nothing to regret," said a young man, as he stood looking down upon the still, white face of his dead mother. "No, I have nothing to regret, now that she is at rest," he repeated. "I feel that everything that could be doue to make her comfortable was done, but my heart bleeds when I remember that in all the years to come her corner will be empty." Ten years before Burton Gibbons bad entered college, full of ambitious plans for the future. At the beginning af his junior year his father died, but his mother, anxious that he should somplete his education, insisted that he should keep up his studies, but before a twelve month had passed away, this precious mother was laid aside by in incurable disease. The other chilJren were all married and gone, so Burton cheerfully gave up his loved itudie.s and came back to assist his young sister in caring for the helpless invalid. Securing a subordinate position in a <tore in the village, the young man liad spent the last seven years of his ife in ministering to his mother. All lis bright visions of a grand life had ieen set aside, that she might lack for milling, and now at tne enu or mese shattered years, he could look back ind say he had nothing to regret. His own disappointed hopes counted or nothing. The best years of his it'e were not lost when they were demoted to mother. He had no regrets 'or the might have-beens, or the wouldlave-beens, if things had been difler 111. No self-denial was a sacrifice ,vheu it was made for mother, and all lis after years will be blessed by the knowledge that he did his duty, expecting no reward but an approving sonscienee and a mother's benediction, rh3 whole current of his life was jhanged when he turned his back up)U his college friends, but the aching ^oid in hi9 heart at sight of the gfilpty jorner was all that troubled Rim, when, he dear mother was called up higher. Presbyterian Observer. flag Lore. The black flag is a sign of piracy. To "strike a flag" is to lower the naional colors in token of submission. The yellow flag shows a vessel to be it quarantine, or is the sign of a contagious disease. Dipping the flag is lowering it slighty and then hoisting it again to salute i vessel or fort. A "flag of truce" is a white flag displayed to an enemy to indicate a desire for a narlev or consultation. A flag at halt' mast means mourning. Fishing and other vessels return with i flag at half mast to announce the loss )r death of some of the men. If the president of the United States joes afloat the American flag is carried n the oowa of his barge or hoisted at he main of the ve.-sel on board of ivhicli he is. Flags are used as the symbol of rank md command, the officers using them >eing called flag officers. Such flags ire souare to distinguish them from >ther banners. The red flag is a sign of defiance, tnd is often used by revolutionists. In >ur service it is a mark of danger, and thows a vessel to be receiving or dissharging her powder. The white flag is a srign of peace. \fter a battle parties of both sides ofen go out to the field to rescue the vounded or bury the dead under the jrotection of a white flag. Journal of Education. The Art of Taking Lkavb.? A'hen Madame de Stael visited Wei nar with the avowed intention of inellectually capturing tlie literary lions >f the day?Gloeihe and Schiller? she nade one fatal mistake; she stayed too ong. Goethe wrote to Schiller: Madame de Stael is a bright, enteraining person, but she ought to know vhen it is time to go." The art of leaving is less understood >y women than by men. The habits >f business, the recognized fact that to i business man time is money, the hrong and press and exactingness of meiness life, all tend to make men vho live in cities the best possible exmplars of the line art of leaving [uicklyand neatly. A business man's ocial call is usually a model of good nanuers in this respect. When he has aid what he ha? to say and listened to vhat there is to hear, he takes his hat ays, "good evening," and is out of our presence without giving any time ?r chance for the too often tedious and mbarrassing common-places of mutui! invitations and promises, to call, vnicn seem to up a kiuu oi soemi mr11 ula with woman. Iu striking eourast with this neat and skilful method if cutting short the parting words of in interview or call is the too common ocial practice of visitors who, comnencing to leave, seem temporarily to bandon their purposes and then lin;er as though it were a kind of com)linient to the visiting party to appear oth to part company.

During the debate in the Senate of he United States upon the proposition o hold a grand Naval Review at New fork harbor, April, 1S93?during" the tVorld's Fair?Senator Blair said he ipposed the proposition of holding n laval review as fostering the spirit of var; that accursed institution?the >adge of savagery, infernal war? hould be abolished ; aud this country vas strong enough to initiate the era of >euce. He ottered an amendment em lowering the President to hold an exsi bition of the public schools and n re'iew of the puttlic school children in Chicago. He also offered an amendnent for the erection of a statue in nemory of Queen Isabella of Spain. Senator Plumb said his objection to he naval review proposition was not hat it would cost a half million dolars, more or less, and probably present icenes of drunkenness that would nitig grief to the hearts of a great nany people, but because it was essenially a monarchial iden. Two monirchs never came together without a lisplay of the instruments of naval varfare. That ought to be wiped out >f the whole business.
