Between 11 and 12 o'clock yesterday forenoon a middle-aged man stood on the steps of a Congress street boarding house with an old grip-sack in his hand, and a cobble-stone and a lot of old papers in the grip-sack. The papers and the cobble-stone are mere suppositions, but they were doubtless in there all the same. When the stranger's ring was answered he indulged in bows, scrapes and smiles, and announced his readiness to take room and board in the house until he could transact some very important business which called him to Detroit. "Yes, we keep boarders, but well, you know?we have to be so careful you know. I presume you have references ?" "References ! Madam, I have a thousand. I am delighted to find that you are so choice of your guests. I presume you have beard of Senator Smith ?" "Smith ! Smith ! She wasn't quite sure." "Don't know Senator Smith ?" he exclaimed, as he held up his hands. "Well, you Western people are so singular. I've been in swimming with Senator Smith a thousand times. We used to run a bank together. I'll have to tell him when I get home that I found a lady in Detroit who had never heard of him. You must have heard of General Sherman ?" "Oh, yes." "Well, Sherm and I sleep in the same bed when he can get an excuse for being out all night. We are always out strawberrying together when I'm in Washington. The day I left he came down to the depot and wanted to pay me an old debt of $1,000, but I wouldn't take it. Just drop a line to Gen. Sherman and ask him if he knows Judge Collins." She seemed to study over the matter, and he presently coutiuued: May be that would be too much trouble. Do vou know the Mayor of Buffalo ?" "No." "Sorrv. verv sorrv. because it wouldn't ' / ' ?/ ^ ' take ten minutes to telegraph him. We rent the same pew in church, aud our wives look like twin sisters. Nice man, he is, and I can imagine how he would look if some one was to ask him if Judge Collins was all right. Perhaps you know the Governor of Indiana?'' She seemed ashamed to confess that she didn't "Really don't know him," he went on. "How uufortunate, as I am just from his house, where he obliged me to tarry for three weeks. The last thing he said to me at the depot yesterday was: 'Now, Judge, when you get to Detroit, don't go to any of the first class hotels, where all is bustle and confneinn hut nut nn nt some nniet. modest r~- "r ? i 1 ? boarding house, where they are very particu lar about their guests, and where the landlady has the appearance of a genuine aristocrat.' That's what he said, and that's why I j am here." Some women would have softeued under that, but she had two men climb out of a back window, the night before, owing her $11, and the flattery didn't soften a line in her face. She asked if he could give local references. "Why, madam, how can I ?" he replied. "1 am a stranget here. I am here to transact about 850,000 worth of business with one of the banks, secure plans for a new block on Woodward avenue, and perhaps set my sonin law up in the wholesale dry goods trade, but several days must necessarily elapse before any one will come to know me for what I am." "Our rule is to require references," she said as she noticed his six day old paper collar and almost buttonless vest. "Madame," he replied, as he backed down . the steps, "I am both surprised and grieved. I had intended, before leaving your house, to give you a set of silver ware which the Governor of Connecticut presented me last Christmas, but your hesitancy shows that you suspect me. Suspicion is something that touches tne in a tender spot. I am now forced to go to a first class hotel, and the silver will probably go to the cook. Adieu, suspectiug woman!" iMay be she feels bad over it, and may be she doesn't. She probably doesn't if she heard him ask a boy he met on the corner if there was a penny restaurant in Detroit. ? + * JOSH BILLINGS ON BEER. I have finally come to the conclusion that lager beer az a beverage iz not intoxicating. I hav been told so by a German who drank it all nite long, jest to try the experiment, and he wuz obliged to go home sober in the morning. I hav seen the same man drink 18 glasses, and if he wuz drunk it wuz in German and nobody could understand it. It is proper enuff to state that this man kept a beer saloon, and could hav no object in stating what wuz not strictly thus. I beleeve him to the full extent of mi ability. I never drank but three glasses of lager in my life, and that made my head twist as tho it wuz owing to my bile being out of place, and I guess that it wuz so, for I never biled over wuss than I did when I got home that nite. My wife thot I wuz going to die, and I wuz afraid I shouldent, for it seemed as tho everything I had ever eaten in ray life wuz coming to the surface ; and I believe if my wife hadent pulled off ray butes just as she did, they would hav come thunderin up too. O, how sick I wuz! 14 years ago, and I can taste it now. I never had so much experience in so short a time. If enny man should tell me that lager beer wuz not intoxicating I should believe him ; if he should tell I me wuzent drunk that nite, but my stumruick wuz out of order, I nlt/\it1/I nnlr Ui?? otfttn AlfAM lit n At outiuiu aatw 111111 tu oiatc t'vci 111 <* x u nviuo jest how a mau felt and acted when he wuz set up. If I wuzent drunk that nite, I had sura ov the most nateral simtums that a man ever had and kept sober. Iu the first plase it wuz about 80 rods from where I drank the lager beer to mi house aud I was jest over 2 hours on the road, and a hole busted thru each one ov mi pantaloon neez ; I didn't hav mi hat, and tried to open the door by the bell-pull, and hiccupped awfully, and saw everything in the room trying to get round behind me, and in sitting down on the cheer I didn't wait long enuff for it to get perzactly under me and I sat down too soon and missed the cheer by about 12 inches, and couldent git up soon enuff to take the next wun that came along; and that ain't awl, my wife sed I wuz az drunk az a beest, and az I sed be4 I be* gun to spin up things freely. If lager beer ain't intoxicating it used me most almighty mean, that I kno. Still I hardly think that lager beer iz intoxicating. for I hav bin told so : and I am probably the only man livin who ever drank ! enuy when his liver wuzent plumb. I don't want tu say enuything about a ! harmless temperance bevridge, but if ever I drink enny more, it will be with mi .hands tied behind mi back and my mouth pried open. I don't think lager beer iz intoxicating, but if I remember rite, I think it tasted to j me like a glass of sope suds that a pickle had ; been to soke in. JSF" A Cleveland lawyer defending a handsome young lady charged with larceny, closed his appeal to the jury thus : "Gentlemen ! you may hang the ocean on a grapevine to dry, lasso an avalanche, pin a napkin to the ; mouth of a volcano, skim the clouds from j the sky with a teaspoon, throw salt on the j tail of our noble American eagle, whose sleepless eye watches over the welfare of the | nation ; paste "For rent" on the moon and j stars; but never for a moment delude your-' selves with the idea that this charming girl j is guilty of the charge preferred against her." | The jury acquitted her without leaving their ! seats. I Iftf attfl (fitfsidc. TO INCREASE THE YALUE~OF A COW. Everyone who owns a cow can see at a glance that it would be profitable to increase < the value of her, but everyone cannot tell how to do it. If a cow is kept for butter, it ' would certainly add to her value if the but- j ter-making properties of her milk should be , improved. In summer or winter this can be improved just as the yield of a cultivated crop 1 can be improved by what is fed to each ; and 1 it is simply a question of will it pay in manur- ( ing the one and feeding the other. Indian corn will add to the quantity and quality of butter in a sensible degree; and it is simply I o nnaoHnn rw anintirm hv PYnpviment whether a UWkJ UlViA VA. uv* uov .. -...r it will add to the profit of the butter-maker , to buy corn at one or two cents a pound and convert a portion of it into butter at twenty- , five cents a pound, or whatever the market price of corn and butter may be, and another portion of it into manure, for that is the natu- ; ral result of the chemical change produced in the laboratory of the cow's stomach. The i same result will follow any other kind of feeding. Good pastures will produce an abundance of milk, often as much as the cow can carry ; but it does not follow that even then it will not be profitable to feed her with some more oleagenous food to increase the quality of the 1 butter, just as it sometimes proves profitable to feed bees to enable them to store more honey. It certainly does not appear to me that , the value of a cow, feeding upon ordinary winter food, may be increased by giving her food suitable for the purpose of increasing the quality of milk, if that is the purpose for which the cow is kept. Farmers generally understand that they can convert corn into beef, pork and lard? and some of them know exactly at what price per bushel it pays to convert it into these substances; but does any one know at what rate it will pay to convert corn or any other grain into butter, or any other kind of feed in the dairy products? Is the whole business a haphazard one? Some persons know that they can increase the salable value of butter by adding the coloring matter of carrots to it. Does any person know the value of a bushel of carrots, fed to a cow, to increase her value as a butter-producing laboratory? Experimental proof upon this noint would be far more worthy of agri cultural prices than it is to see who cau show the largest spots; for by a few carefully conducted experiments we should be able to increase the value of a cow almost at pleasure. Economy in Using Sugar.?Many housekeepers waste a very large amount of sugar by heating it with acid fruits and other sour substances. It is no unusual thing for a cook to place considerable sugar in sour fruits that are being heated and to stir it into the mass from time to time as the cooking proceeds. On tasting some of the substance being cooked it seems sour, and more sugar is added. It is often the case that three times the amount of sugar is employed that is necessary to impart the desired degree of sweetness. The sweet cane sugar w \en boiled with a dilute acid becomes diverted into grape sugar, which is far less sweet. If sugar is added to acid substances after they are completely cooked, or what is better still, after they have become cold, a much smaller amount is required, and the result is far more satisfactory. If applied at that time it will remain cane sugar. A smaller amount of sugar is required to proi>erly sweeten substances that are cold than those that are hot. This may be noticed by adding sugar to cream intended for freezing. Nearly twice as much will be required to properly sweeten cream that is hot than that which has commenced to freeze. Coffee and tea are sweetened to the best advantage by dissolving the sugar used with the cream by stirring them together with a spoon before the hot drink is poured into the cup. Learning to Sew.?To be handy with the needle, is one of the sterling accomplishments of every educated woman. To be able to take the "stich in time," is worth all the a 4- .* l./v vft/i 11 i i?uil f a loom time ctiiu iiuuuic tuat aic i^uucvi iu muu the art. Like walking, reading, and the many other tilings which we come to do without special thought, the learning to sew is a slow process, and should be begun while the child is still quite young. The girl should not only have the use of the thread, needies, and patchwork, but be instructed how to take stitches, turn corners, and do the various things connected with needle-work. We are excluding the boys in our remarks, because they need to learn to thread a needle, and do general sewing. Men are many times so situated, that they must depend upon themselves for their necessary sewing. Even if it is in an age of sewing machines, it is best that all children should learn to use the simple, common old-fashioned kind, which can never be wholly superseded. The amusement and occupation that sewing furnishes little folks, afford sufficient reason why all mothers should see that their girls, and boys too, learn to sewbut the very practical use of the needle in after life, is the principal thing after all. , Farm Life.?A writer in Scribner'l3 Maya- ' zine asserts that the farmer, having the most sane and natural occupation, ought to find life pleasant. He alone, strictly speaking, has a home. How can a man take root and thrive without land. He writes his history upon his : field. How many ties, how many recourses he has; his friendship with cattle, his team, his dog, his trees; the satisfaction in his growing crops, in his improved fields; his intimacy ] with nature, with bird and beast, and with , the quickening elemental forces ; his co-op- ' erations with the clouds, sun, season, heat, wind, rain and frost. Nothing will take the various social distempers which the city and 1 artificial life breed out of a man like farm- I ing?like direct ana loving contact with the j soil. It draws out the poison. It humbles < him, teaches him p: tience and reverence, and | restores the proper tone to his system. Cling | to the farm, make much of it, put yourself into it, bestow your heart and your brain iqion ! it, so that it shall savor of you and radiate 1 your virtue after your day's work is done. < | Cleaning Up.?A few hours of work by the farmer, his boys and hired help devoted to , cleaning up about the house, cellars and out- j houses, will make everything, trim neat and healthful. There is alwys plenty of time, even at the busy season of plowing and seed ing, for this necessary and beautifying work, i This work is more important than most far- i mers seem to think. It should be done evei\ f at considerable cost of time. Our own plan is to devote rainy days and odd hours which often come to hand during the season to it. One of the rainy days recently we gathered up all the old brooms about the place, and set all i the hands to sweeping down the dust and < cobwebs in the stables, and the next day of < the same sort we find on our hands, we shall , give them a coat of whitewash, in which a | little carbolic acid has been mixed. To Clkan Looking^! lasses.?Take a I newspaper, or part of one accordiilfc to the < size of the glass. Fold it small and dip it into I a basin of clean cold water ; when thoroughly | wet squeeze it out in your hand as you would a si>onge, and then rub it hard all over the , face of the glass, taking care that it is not so , wet as to run down in streams. In fact, the paj)er must only be completely moistened 1 or dampened all through. After the glass has been well rubbed with wet pai>er, let it rest I for a few minutes and theu go over it with ( afresh, dry newspaper (folded small in your ( hand) till it looks clear and bright, which it ;, will almost immediately, and with no further ! trouble. 1 Churning.?A moment's use of the ther- j < mometer in the cream before churning is less j i trying to the patience, to say nothing of the j i back and arms, than an honr's use of the churn i to bring the temperature of the cream up to ; sixty-three degrees. If the butter usually comes quickly, sixty degrees above zero is sufficiently high, but the cream from some ( cows needs to be brought up to sixty-five de- 1 grees before churning. If the butter is in-'; cliued to be soft, a few dippersful of ice-cold i water should be poured into the churn as soon j < as the butter globules are seen floating in the j j cream. Coffee Custard.?Mix one egg with 1 1 teacup of ground coffee and pour over it one i ] pint of boiling water. Let it boil (5 minutes, 1 < then pour in 1 cup of cold water and set it i back on the range or stove for 10 minutes. , Strain it off into a saucepan and add 1 pint of j cream. Beat five eggs and 1 1-2 cups of sugar together ; pour the boiling mixture over the 1 eggs and sugar, stirring it well, set the whole 1 in boiling water and stir one way until it be- ' gins to thicken. Serve in cups to eat cold. If frozen it makes a very delicious ice-cream. i Sleep.?Insufficient sleep is probably the ' ( most frequent cause of nervous failure; and j certainly, when the failure has come, sleep. opens the surest avenue to recovery. Then 1 indeed, too much sleep can hardly be taken ; ( for as in infancy, the recuperative powers seem ( to work only during complete sleep. 11 IgMtanettMi Reading. A NEW LING OF RAILROAD. The new railroad from Cheraw, S. C., to Salisbury, N. C., has been finished as far as Wadesboro, N. C., to which point trains are now running. A staff correspondent of the News and Courier has recently been over the new line, and from the interesting sketch he furnishes of the road and its conditiou, we 3xtract the following : In the early part of 1879, mainly through the influence of President Ravenel, of the Northeastern Railroad, fresh interest was iw.akened in the enterprise. It was derter mined to give a first mortgage on the road from Cheraw to Wadesboro of $160,000, and to issue upon the same a corresponding amount of 7 per cent, first mortgage bonds. The mortgage was given in the fall of 1879, and the bonds were issued and taken up at par. Every bond was sold and taken. With the proceeds derived from their sale steel rails and the most approved fastenings were purchased, all the old grading was worked over, two miles of new grading, completing the line to Wadesboro, were built, the trestles were constructed, depots and turnouts established, and every neccessary appendage added to the working facilities of the road. At present the road has no equipment, but is run by the stock of the Cheraw and Darlington road, thetraius running through from Florence to Wadesboro. The weight of the iron with which road is laid is forty-five pouds to the yard. The rails are of the best road steel, and are laid with the most approved angle plates and Fishhar connections, making a continuous rail and holding the track securely iu position. After the road had been mortgaged not a lick of work was strack until all of the bonds were taken on July 3, 1879. Since that time the progress of the road has been most encouraging. One year ago ull the timber used iu its construction was growing in the woods, aud some doubted, while many opposed, the success of the undertaking. The road runs through Chesterfield county for ten miles, and for fifteen iniles through Anson county, N. C. It connects with the Carolina Central at NVadesboro, which runs from Shelby to Wilmington, a distance of 280 miles. When the Cheraw road is built through to Salisbury it will strike at that place the Western North Carolina, which runs now from Salisbury to Asheville, a distance of 225 miles, and is to be extended to connect with the Western system of roads at Morristown, or with the Knoxville and East Tennessee road. At present by taking the Atlantic, Tennessee and Ohio road, a (lis tance of 45 miles, the Western North Caro lina can now be reached at Statesville, 25 miles west of Salisbury, which goes to Asheville. There is an unfinished link of the road between Asheville and Morristown, (not including the forty miles of this line over which the trains are now running.) which the Best Syudicate is under obligations to complete, together with* all the other Western connections. This accomplished and there will be a through line beyond the mountains to the West. One of the principal cotton buyers of Wadesboro assured me to-day that at least 10,000 bales of cotton would be shipped to Charleston next season from that point. Between 8,000 and 9,000 bales were sold at Wadesboro during the last season, the bulk of which went to Charleston. I have the same authority for saying that the trade of the city will be increased at least $300,000 by this new road. Anson county cotton always brings the top of the market, and often goes over the highest market quotations. This cotton will seek the Chareston market because it is mui-tot frvr tKo unle nf f.he finer Hie uignrob luuint.v <vt vuv VM.W w. grades of cotton, and the price paid is higher than in Baltimore, Wilmingtou or New York. The completion of the Cheraw and Wadesboro Road will also increase the demaud for Charleston Fertilizers. Wherever the commercial manures have been used in this eect ion they have made a handsome return, and the country through which the road passes, by judicious fertilizing, could easily be brought to the highest state of production. MRS. HANCOCK'S APPEARANCE. The New York Graphic give the follow ing brief, but at this tirue interesting sketch of the appearance and personal characteristics of the wife of the Democratic candidate for President: Mrs. Hancock, the wife of General W. S. Hancock, is a few years his junior in age, and as a woman is as imposing in appearance as he is a man. Tall and well-proportioned, with a most winsome smile, a manner that puts you at your ease at once, and a pair of eyes that animate every line of a handsome face, *he is still a beauty, although her hair is besoming streaked with gray. She was married when the general was but a young lieutenant, ioing duty in the far West. It was entire ' - ? 1? nnlthnr rtf fKom ItnUP Iy U iuyu iiiull.ii, aim xaiui^i vi ?uvu? >*i?*v -ince regretted it; in fnct, their home is one ef the happiest imaginable. Mrs. Hancock has always been opposed to her husband's becoming a candidate for the presidency, *nd she is even above the weakness of wishing to be mistress of the White House. She Ireads the worry of the canvass, and if her husband is elected she thinks that the honor which the position brings will be dearly purchased. While she prefers her own home existence, however, there is no one better qualified to play the hostess on a grand scale than she. Her greatest charm, however, is?and is the General's also?the art of making every individual atom feel as if he were the one sole object of her attentions. Homf. Happinkss.?Probably nineteentwentiethsof the happiness you will ever have, you will get at home. Some of you will get Jelight in the church ; but happiness you will >nly get at home. The independence that comes to a man when his work is over, and he feels he has run out of the storm into the quiet harbor of home where he can rest in I peace with his family, is something real. It | loe3 not make much difference whether you have one little room in that house, you can make that little room a true home to you. You can people it with such moods, you can | turn to it with such sweet fancies, that it will : be fairly luminous with their presence, and will be to you the very perfection of a home. Against this home none of you should ever transgress. You should always treat each ether with courtsey. It is often not so difficult to love a person as it is to be courteous : - * rx . / a. 1 _ ! to ttiem. uouriesy is or greater vuiue turn u i more royal grace than some people seem to j think. If you will but be courteous to each ! nther you will soon learn to love each other more wisely, profoundly, not to say lastingly, than you ever did before. * ? - -- ? Dependence of Health uponCircula- j rrox.?Perfect health depends upon perfect [ circulation. Every living thing that has the latter has the former. Put your hand under your dress upnu your body. Now place it I jpon your arm. If you find the body over 90 Jegrees, and your arm under 60 degrees, you have lost the equilibrium. The head has too ' much blood, producing headache ; or the chest I too much, producing cough, rapid breathing, pain in the side, or palpitation of the heart;1 nr the stomach too much, producing indiges-; tion. Any or all of these difficulties are tern- j porarily relieved by the immersion of the bands or feet in hot water and permanently relieved by such dress and exercise of the extremities as will make the derivation permanent. , flST" A wood shed is a necessary part of every economical farmer's home.

Every Sabbath morning hundreds of thousands of people assemble together for, at least, 1 the ostensible purpose of worshiping God, through the days-man, Jesus Christ. To him thanks are rendered, petitions offered up, and songs of praise sung. For near six thousand years, Jesus Christ has absorbed the devotional services of the best citizens of this world. Adam, the father of us all, worshiped him. So did Enoch and Noah. Abraham, prospectively, saw the day when the Messiah would come, and he was glad. Jacob, the grand-son of Abraham, devoutly worshiped Jesus Christ. Moses and Aaron and all the Aaronic priests typified Jesus. All the prophets of Old Testament times prophesied by him and of him. Of Jesus DaVid and Asaph sung in accents which never can be equaled. No personage lias ever appeared on thisearth who lias attracted so much attention as Jesus Christ. A countless number of the human family have forsaken all and followed him. For him, Abraham left his native land and his father's house, and for him Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter and | scorned to accept Pharaoh's crown and sway Pharaoh's sceptre. From the days of Abraham down to the present moment, a period of more than tlu ee thousand seven hundred years, Jesus has been the recognized liead of the organization which we call the Church. Like the prophet's cloud, this organization was once small, embracing only a single family. Like the prophet's cloud, it has increased, and today it reaches from the rivers to the ends of the earth. The banner of Jesus floats in triumph over lands once full of horrid cruelty, and lie whom Jewish priests and Roman soldiers, eighteen hundred years ago, condemned and crucified is, to-day, respected, loved, honored, adored and worsliiiied by young men and maidens ; by hoary-headed sires and matrons, frail with years; by humble peasants and the possessors of princely incomes; by the illiterate sons of toil; the merchant at his desk; the banker at his counter, and the devotee of art in his studio. "What think ye of Christ ?" is propounded to us all. What is the character of the Christ we worship ? Is lie the Christ promised by God in the Scriptures, rejoiced in by Abraham, worshiped by Jacob and sung of by David, or is he a creature of our own invention V In whom are we, who claim to be Christians, trusting ? We expect to be saved by Jesus Christ. This -much our profession declares. Rut are our expectations based upon a proper foundation V Have we accepted the Christ which God offers us in his word, or have we taken the name of the Saviour God reveals to us in the Scriptures and affixed it to a creature ? These grave inquiries should incite us to graver reflections. We accept the Rible as the | word of the living God. All its utterances are infallible truth. Heaven and earth may pass away, the most impossible thing may become possible, but the teachings of the Bible are as true as the being of God. Whatever it promises will be fulfilled, and whatever it threatens will be executed. One of the leading truths enunciated in the Bible is that no one of Adam's race who does not believe in Jesus Christ can be saved, and all that do believe in him shall be saved. The Jesus Christ offered to us as a Saviour is the Jesus Christ revealed in the n ?3 j i. scriptures, uou uoes nut engage xu save us xx we believe in a creature of our own invention, even should we give to that creature the name of Jesus Christ. He pledges himself to save all who will accept of the Saviour whom he reveals in the Bible. Bu? the Saviour in whom we trust must be the identical Saviour offered. He must be every thing the Bible reveals him to be and nothing more. We must think of him as he is revealed to us. We must accept of him in all his offices and for all things for which he is offered to us. . We must take him as our prophet to instruct ufc, as our priest to atone for our sins, and as our king to reign in and over us. We may think well enough of Jesus as a priest. With a delight wholly carnal, we may delight to think of Jesus as taking away the sins of the world, by the sacrifice of himself, but we may, in our carnal pride, scorn to be taught by him, who is meek and lowly, and refuse to be governed by him who died for sin, in the room of sinners. We must, in order to be saved, think Scripturally of Jesus as phrophet and king. It is manifest that a mistake with regard to Jesus must terminate fatally. Dwelling in God.?We may dwell in God in the midst of the busiest scenes of life. A gentleman returning from Wall street a few evenings ago, said, "This has been a very hurried day. I have been pushing and rushing with the rest of them at the^xchange; but how can I express the sweetness of my fellowship with Christ in the midst of it all ? Looking up once out of the excited crowd, my eye caught sight of Trinity Church spire, with its golden cross resting against the sky. It suggested such peaceful thoughts, such vivid impressions of the ever-present, ever-ruling Lord of all tl?e earth, that my spirit never lost the blessed influence throughout all the busy day." Happy thought! The blessedness of dwelling in God is not given alone to those who can shut themselves apart from men in restful seclusion ; it may be enjoyed as well by the honest workman at his trade, the busy merchant at his desk, the hurried mother in her household cares, when we can say with the Psalmist, uIn the multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts delight my soul." * The True Life.?It has been a matter of complaint, once and again, that some of those who were zealous for these "higher doctrines," as they have been called, were not so careful to "maintain good works," nor so attentive to the "minor morals" of Christianity as -might have been expected ; not so large-hearted, not so open-handed, nor so generous, nor so humble as many whose light was dimmer; also that they were supercilious, inclined to despise others as dark and ill-instructed, given to display their consciousness of spiritual superiority in ungentle ways and words. This will not do. Certainly one who is "risen with Christ" ought to be like the Risen One. He will be expected to lie meek and lowly, gentle and loving, simple and frank, kind and obliging, liberal and generous, not easily provoked or affronted, transparent and honest, not selfish, not unwilling to be taught. "A Long Bridge."?Mr. Spurgeonsaid recently?you can almost hear his clarion voice proclaiming it to his 5,000 assemblage: "Make the bridge from the cradle to manhood just as long as you can. Let your child be a child, and not a little ape of a man running about the town." Good advice.
