WOULDN'T DUPLICATE. "I want a suit of clothes," said a pleasant young man entering a tailor shop and addressing the proprietor. "Well, sir, we shall be very glad to serve you." "It may not be necessary to add," continued the young man, "that I haven't any money." "Not necessary, sir ; nor is it necessary to add that you cannot get the clothes." "My friend, I wish to relate to you a little circumstance. Once when President Garfield was a young man, just at my age, a tailor trusted him for a suit of clothes. 'I don't i know you sir,' said the tailor, when young / Garfield made the wardrobial proposition. / " 'Yonjmve no advantage of me,' said Gar/ field, I/Jont know you.' / ">?ut I never saw you before,' said the / tfrtlor. / " 'No advantage,' reiterated Garfield, 'I never saw you before." " 'Hanged if I don't trust you,' said the ?- tailor. And now look at him to-day. Gar* field is President, while the tailor is rich and has been offered any office within the gut 01 the government. Now, note the chain of coincidences. Garfield was poor ; so am I. He did not know the tailor, and the tailor did not know him ; I do not know you and you do not know me. The tailor had never seen him before, and he had never seen the tailor before. You never saw me before, and I never saw you before. Now, sir, there is just the prettiest chain of golden-linked coincidences I ever saw. I would go to some other tailor, but they know me " "Very likely," said the tailor. "Well, sir, I say that I would go to some other tailor, but all the other tailors in Cleveland know me, and this breaks the chain." "Let me relate a coincidence," said the tailor. "Once a young man tried to beat a tailor and failed. Then another young man tried to beat a tailor and failed. You are either or both of these young men." "I am refused, am I ?" "Rather !" "All right, sir, have it your own way. I am not particular, only wanted to help you along. Come out and I'll take a drink with you. No ? Well, then, good day. I see that you are crazy, and I shall take steps towards sending you to an asylum."?Cleveland Jferald. What Ailed Mbs. Oldgay's Chicken. At a school examination at Westchester, N. Y., the following was a composition by a youthful competitor: "A rooster is a male hen whose business it is to help about when one of the sisters lays an egg. The rooster is also made to fight. 1 once had a rooster. He was called a Brawinew. He stood eighteen inches high, and weighed fifteen pounds. He was not supposed to be a fighter, but there is where they didn't know him. Old Mrs. Oldgay lives next door to us and her daughter Sallie goes to school with me, and mayl>e she don't know whatever was the matter with her mother's game rooster, so I am going to tell her. "My rooster hadn't been bought long, and didn't have time to get used to the lot before he crowed, and Mrs. Oldgay's game ttew onto the fence and crowed too. Billy (that was his name) thought he was saying howdy, so he hollered howdy do as loud as lie couid. But the game meant business. He Hew down and sidled across the yard, with his neck all stirred up, and before Billy had time to explain hit him an awful whack in the maw. Billy ran off a little ways, and talked fast, but the game ran at him again, and whacked him in the neck once more. This time Billy ran off and stood still, like he was too surprised to think ; but then, all on a sudden it came over him what was the matter, and then he got mad. He didn't know anything about rules and fancy work, but he just stretched out his head and come down the slope a bulging. Yer oughter have seen them meet; Billy didn't check up at all, but the game rolled end over end when the fifteen pounds hit him, and then laid still, exceptin a little wiggle of the legs. Billy went up and kept a jumpin7 on mm tin i wiroweu me game uaun. over the fence, and that was what ailed Mrs. Old gay's chicken." Wanted to Pool.?A Xew Yorker, who had business in one of the mountain villages last week, was followed to the depot, when 1 ready to take the train, by a native, who conlidentially inquired : ''Are vou an undertaker ?" "Oh, no." "Didn't know but you was an undertaker looking for an opening here, and I'd like to pool with you. I own the graveyard here, and we could run the business to suit ourselves. Are vou a doctor ?" "No." "Didn't know but you was. I've got the best place in town for a drug store and I'd furnish the medicines and you do the doctoring, and we'd pool. Maby you are a lawyer." "No, my friend." "I thought if you was we could fix it all right, one of my brothers being the Justice of the Peace and the other constable. I'd be the silent partner and sue every man in town to make business. Like enough you are a preacher." "Wrong again." "Well, I'm sorry. I've got a mortgage on the best church building here, and if you was only the right kind of a preacher we'd i>ool in, and in less'n three months we'd have the dead wood on every soul worth saving !"? Wall Street jVcics. ' fteadmg fa? the CONDUCTED BT * REV. RORERT LATHAN. HE LEFT IT ALL. The following incident recently occurred in New York city, at a meeting of gentlemen, who have under their management the most extensive system of railways on the continent. It is related by one who was present, and who vouches for the truth of the narrative. The directors were assembled from many parts of the country, and together represented millions I upon millions of dollars. Perhaps any one glancing at the company, with a knowledge of their immense pecuniary power and resources, would have fancied that they were all happy, and that they occupied a most enviable position in the world. Before proceeding to business, while awaiting the arrival of some director who was absent, one said to another in a loud tone, that instantly command&l attention, "Have you heard that is dead?" "Why, no ; you surprise me. I saw him on the street last week, apparently in the enjoyment of perfect health ; when did he die ?" "He died d.lv before yesterday." A moment of silence ensued, and one of the gentlemen said to the first speaker, "He was very rich, was he not V" "O, yes, very." "How much did he leave ?" "He left it all," was the answer, uttered*with a deep, solemn voice, as if on purpose, and another, not altogether agreeable, silence fell upon the company of millionaires. Yes, he left it all, and so must the richest man on earth leave it all very soon, "for we brought nothing into the world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." Tim. 6:7. Death is the great leveler in more resects than one. It is amazing that men of sense who have money, do not reflect upon this, and it is unaccountable that rich men, professing to be Christians, so often fail to see the purpose for which wealth has been put into their hands. They frequently cling to it with a grasp that grows tighter, and when they are at last compelled to leave it all, they have accomplished rar less good in the world than if they had never possessed a farthing. If ay, money expended in selfish gratification, or hoarded for the sake of accumulating a large sum, is n positive injury to the cause of Christ, and becomes a burning curse to the unfaithful steward. What says the unerring Word of God V "Go to, now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth eaten. Your gold and silver is cankered and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were tire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days." Jas. 5:1?3. Hence, while in one sense the rich man leaves it all at death, in another sense he does not leave it, or rather it does not leave him, but it follows him into the eternal world, and is a witness for or against him at the bar of God. God often warns men about the proper use of riches, "for lie seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person, and leave their wealth to others * * * * Be not afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased ; for when he dieth, he shall carry nothing away ; his glory shall not descend after him." Ps. 49. "If riches increase, set not your heart upon them." Ps. 62:10. "Riches profit not in the day of wrath." Prov. 11:4. "There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing." Prov. 13 : 7. "There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt." Ecc. 5: 13. "God said unto him, Thou fool! this night thy soul shall be required of thee; then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided V So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God ?" Luke 12:12. "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kiugdom of God." Luke 18:24. illustrations of scripture. BY REV. D. THOMPSON. The Heart is, by a figure of speech, put for the soul. Why is this?why is it thus employed rather than any other organ of the human body ? The only answer that can satisfactorily be given is, that pulsation or throbbing of the heart is a certain sign of the presence of the soul or spirit in the body, and this sign is put for tl?e thing signified. When the pulsation ceases, the circulation of the blood ceases, and with this, the generation of vital heat ceases, the whole body becomes cold ; a countenance that lately beamed with intelligence, and beauty becomes ghastly and repulsive ; so that like Abraham with his beloved Sarah, we are compelled to bury our dead out of our sight. Disorganization commences, the body ''returns to dust as it was, and the spirit to God who gave it." The heart is often employed in Scripture to denote all the faculties of the soul?the under standing or intellect, the win ana anecaons. Many things are attributed to it, according to the moral character of the person. It is said to be "deceitful above all things and desperately wicked." Again, in its unrenewed state it is said to be hard and stony; but in its renewed state, it is called a heart of flesh ; sometimes it is said to be double, denoting deceitfulness, whereas singleness of heart denotes sincerity or integrity. A clean or pure heart denotes a sanctified soul. "With the heart jnan believeth unto righteousness"?here all the faculties of the soul are employed. The understanding contemplates Christ in his glorious person and offices, especially in his priestly office, by the execution of which he has brought in everlasting righteousness, the will and affections accept him as most suitable to the condition of the poor lost sinner, and says in effect, "whom have I in heaven but thee V and there is none on earth that I desire besides thee. lie is the chief among ten thousands, yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem." Another highly figurative expression is frequently found in the Old Testament, but especially in the book of Psalms: viz.: The Ligld of the Countenance. This phrase is always applied to God, and it denotes his favor and love. In the songs of Zion, the church and her pions members frequently importune the God of grace to lift on them the light of his countenance. Such supplications or addresses are made after the manner of men. When men are pleased with others, and love them, all the features of the face become smooth, and the result of this is that lightT is ruore fully reflected from the countenance, and so far it shines. On the contrary, when men are displeased with others, the facial muscles become corrugated, dark furrows are exhibited, the face frowns. Another familiar expression of frequent occurrence in the book of Psalms is to incline the ear and hear. The import of this expression is, that God would graciously grant the petitions of his people. When men wish to show respect to others who address them, they uniformly turn the head to the speaker iu order to hear distinctly and answer correctly. In the sick chamber, the sympathizing friend bends down his head to hear the low accents of the person whom he will likely soon hear 110 more. God's bending his ear to hear denotes the regard that he has to believing prayer, and his condescension and compassion for his i>eople in their afflictions?-"In all their afflictions he was afflicted. In him compassion flows in such pity as a father hath in his children, like pity shows the Lord to such as worship him in fear." "The prayer of the destitute he surely will regard." "I am Wrong. Let any one try it and he will find that to say inearnest, "I am wrong," is the most difficult speech that he can make. And yet it is the noblest of all. Very often, indeed, it is true with any one of us, and it always shows that we know ourselves. It is the only possible road to take to produce an amendment of life. No man can reform while under .the conviction that his deeds were virtuous rather than vicious. It is only a conscious sinner who can become a penitent one. The proofs around us and within us that we err are as manifold as the variety of ways that proof can be made. To acknowledge is the first and most necessary step?to amend will follow as effect follows cause. The prayers offered confessing our sins are innumerable, but God alone knows how few confessions are made in the heart. Pray for your minister; he needs it much. Pray for one another; pray for the whole Church, pray for your families, pray for yourselves. lie not satisfied, unless you have a i/ood hope that God for*Christ's sake has forgiven all your sins, and that you are living an honest, sober, truthful, Christ-like life.
