ghwwwtts fhpriwent. |: fl?*A clergyman, a widower, residing in, one of our Vermont rural towns recently i created a first class sensation in his house- j hold, which consisted of several grown-up daughters. The reverend gentleman was absent from home for a number of days, visit- i ing in an adjoining town. The daughters re-1 ceived a letter from their father which stated he had "married a widow with sixsprightly ! i children," and that he might be expected J1 home at a certain time. The effect of that i news was a great shock to the happy family. \ The girls, noted for their meekness and ! amiable temperaments, seemed another set 1 of beings; there was weeping and wailing i and tearing of hair, ana all manner of j i naughty things said. The tidy home was j j neglected, and when the day of arrival , came, the house was anything but inviting. At last the Rev. Mr. came; but he was j1 alone. He greeted his daughters as usual, and as he viewed the neglected parlors, j there was a merry twinkle in his eye. The j daughters were nervous and utterly anxious. At last the eldest mustered courage and i asked: "Where is mother?" "In heaven," ] says the good man. "But where is the wid- i owwith six children ?" "Why, I married i * A - -At j Ti i ner to anotner man, my uears. jlh?> &mu to have been amusing to see those girls set s things to rights. < Breaking 'Em Up.?The breaking up of 1 a negro political meeting in Maryland, the 1 other day, by the appearance of some danc- I ing bears, reminds an ex-armv officer of a < similar experience which befell him while 1 serving as bureau officer in South Carolina; 1 and he relates the incident in the Philadel- '< phia Record. He was looked up to by the 1 colored people for all purposes, and was ex- 1 pected to take the place of the "ole master," 1 the judge, the doctor and the parson. In ( the latter capacity he was called upon to 1 read the service at the funeral of a picanin- < ny. The procession had moved, in solemn ( order, to a grove on the plantation used as a ( burial p'ace, the mourners siuging in a dole- * ful strain as they moved along. While ren- | dering the burial service he happened to i look up and was astonished to find that the bulk of the congregation was streaming j nn"r?r?Av? finlrl fAHTUwl il tfll] t/TPP ilt ! iitl l/?5 UIU U|JU1 11CIM vvtt mvt M VMT4A v. N,V whose foot a couple of dogs were barking. One by one the mourners were departing. As he stood there, wondering what it ail might mean, the sorrowing father turned to him and remarked : "Dar, dat Mungo has treed an udder coon, lie's de best coon dog on dis yere ribber." The subsequent proceedings were very short. Irish Mathematics.?A jolly set of Isishmen, boon companions and sworn brothers, had made up their mind to leave the "old sod ""and wend their way to "Ameriky." There were five in number?two Paddies, one Murphy, one Dennis, and one Teague. It so happened that the vessel they were to go in, could only take four of them. At length, honest Teague exclaimed: "Arrah ! I have it. We'll cast lots to see who shall remain." But one of the Paddies vowed it was anything but "jonteel" to do that sort of thing. "You know, Teague," he said, "that I am an arithmetician, and I can work it only by subtraction, which is a great deal better. But you must all agree to abide by the figures." All having pledged themselves to do so, Pat proceeded. "Well, then, taKe juaciuy iroin x-uuuy you * can't, that's very certain. But take Dennis from Murphy is aisy enough, and you will find that Teague remains. By my faith, Teague, my jewel, and it's you that'll have to stay behind." Poor Teague was therefore bound to acquiesce, in this remarkably novel decision. "That's Enough?Stand Down!"?iii a contest over a will a certain witness was giving his evidence as to the disposition of the testator. "Was he $ good-natured man ?" asked the attorney. "Not altogether." "Was he cross then ?" "Well yes, rather, in places." "Was he very cross ?" "Considerably." "How cross was he?" Give us an example of his disposition." "Well, sir, he was that cross that when he called up the cows at milking time it made the milk sour." "That's enough! Stand down !"?Merchant Traveler. Mistaken Identity.?A farmer, living a few miles from Austin, whose wife was troubled with an aching tooth, decided to come in town with her for the purpose of having it extracted. The pair took a seat in the cars, and soon after the train started the farmer walked forward into the smoking car telling his wife he would be back directly. While her husband was absent the conductor came leisurely along, ticket punch in hand, and approaching the old lady, reached over for her ticket, whereupon the victim of the toothache opened her mouth and taught him, saying: "You needn't mind giving me chloroform, doctor; just pull it right out, anyhow. 1 can stand it, and when John comes back he'l settle with yer."?Nift'inga. f ??

ROBERT LATHAN. , [Original. | LIFE'S TRIALS. From childhood to old age we look forward to a better time, but the better time never comes. As life advances its cares and trials increase in number and magnitude. We need something which does not grow out of the ground, or lie imbedded in its bosom. Toil will not produce it, gold cannot buy it. Without that something we never can be happy, with it the cares of life tlee away and its trials are bearable. We need what God only can give?-the pardon nf our sins and fitness for heaven. [Original.] INTEMPERANCE. The foulest blot on the civilization of the nineteenth century is intemperance. In a oeouniarv noint of view, intemperance is reducing multitudes to beggary; and, in a spiritual point of view, it is sending thousands to perdition. If the money which is mnually spent in the United States for strong drink, was expended in building school houses, it would be amply sufficient to furnish a brick academy for every two miles square of the whole territory. The government stills cost the country more in jne year than the church of God does in :en. They are a disgrace to any governnent. Unfortunately, professed Christians ire not fully awake on this subject. Let refecting men devote their thoughts calmly :o it. Let (tod's professed people, of every lame, array themselves against whisky lrinking. It is idle to suppose that a community of drunkards can be either rich or ion ten ted. II ever whisky drinking is put lown, it will be by the united effort of Christians. This is a part of the anpropriite work of the church. Let the individual nembers of the visible church be faithful n this matter. [Original.] OUR DELIVERER. One of the petitions contained in what is lommonly called the Lord's Prayer is: "Deiver us from evil." This world is full of jvil, and this is the case because the human leartis deceitful and desperately wicked. )ur troubles have their origin in our own learts. The evils under which the human rrmon rlr\ not ^nrincr fmm thp flf'fiwts (VIAAAAJ V/(M1 VIV ..VV >f something without us, but from the corruption within us. It would require a life :ime to make out a catalogue of evils. It ivould require more than this. It would rejuire all time and all eternity. The progely of sin is so numerous that it cannot be ,'ounted. It is of more importance to us to know how ukI by whom we can be delivered from evil :han to know exactly how many evils each mman heart is capable of producing. Universally men are struggling to rid themselves of the evils which follow them as :heir own shadow. Various have been the plans devised by men for the purpose of deivering individuals and society, generally, rom evil. They have all failed and every rontrivance, which is human, must forever "ail to remove the effects of sin. Legisla:ors may enact laws and attach to these laws severe penalties, but these laws with severe penalties never can remove evil from either ndividuals or society. In fact, they have i tendency to increase the evils of life. Men, universally, have an uncontrollable jropensity to violate law. The fountain of evil is beyond the reach )f human legislators, consequently, human aws can neither prevent crime nor deliver society from evil. The fountain of evil is he human heart, God only can take away he hard and stony heart, and give, in its stead, a heart of flesh. The means which iod, in his wisdom, uses to effect this deiverance is the gospel of his own son, Jesus 'hrist. The agent in changing the human leart is the Holy Spirit. This is either a truth capable of being >roven by facts, or it is a falsehood. The acts which prove that the gospel of Jesus ,'hrist is the power of God unto salvation ire, like the stars which light up the darkless of night, so many that we cannot count hem. Whatever of real good any member if the human family enjoys is a deliverance rom siu, effected by the gospel of Jesus 'hrist. Nothing is more common than the iractice of tracing results to wrong causes, ["his is strikingly true in respect to the deiverances from evil, which are wrought coninually in our behalf. The truth is, if all he blessings which we receive through the nediation of Jesus Christ were taken from iu on/1 .ill +l,ot xi-fi from Avprv otlipr ouree were allowed to remain with us, we vould find that our all was gone. It is "hrist that delivers us from the reigning )Ower of sin in our own hearts and from the (vil effects of sin as they swarm from the >osoms of our fellow men. The only power n the universe which can bring good out of fvil, light out of darkness, is the mediatoial power of Jesus Christ, as exhibited in lis gospel. 4[Original.J THE CHURCH. Two facts stare every one of us in the wr? The first is all men are sinners. The econd is some remedial scheme has been levised by (Sod for the salvation of sinners. The first fact is made manifest by the provilenees of (Sod, and the second is revealed in he word of (Sod, and is corroborated by all he dealings of God with the human family, so argument is required to prove that men, iniversally, are resting under the curse of Jod. The effects of sin are seen and felt by til men, at all times, and under all circumitances. The punishment of sin is, howev;r, in no case, in this world, complete. Those who suffer most have many and great nercies mingled with their sufferings. God s waiting to be gracious, is the language of lis word and of his providences. Jesus Christ came into the world to save inners. Sinners saved constitute the church riumphant, or the church in heaven ; and inners undergoing the process of salvation :onstitute the church militant, or the church lere on earth. The church in heaven embraces the whole lumber of those redeemed by the blood of fesus Christ and sanctified by his word and pirit. The church militant embraces all hose who are undergoing that peculiar ransforming process which shall ultimately esult in their fitness for heaven. One remarkable feature of the militant :hureh is that each single individual is considered in connection with the whole. In )ther words, Jesus Christ did not come into he world to save a .sinner, but to save six's Kits. The salvation of*each redeemed sinier is linked with the whole of the redeem?cl. Such is the nature of the plan of salvaion that each individual must labor for the salvation of all the redeemed. One man or me woman, in an isolated state, can accomplish nothing. Each individual member of lie visible church must work in concert kVith each other individual. It is in this :oncert of action that the operative strength )f the visible church lies. In this respect he visible church is not unlike the honey pee. < )ne single bee can accomplish nothng. It cannot live. It must die. So it is vith the members of the visible church, fhey must all work, but all must work together. Those who claim that they are not bound :o labor for the salvation of others make a aid mistake, so far as their own salvation is oncerned. They are opposing the order of *raee, and the final result in their ease must >e a failure, (iod made man a social being. In an isolated state, he can neither be useful lor happy. J le may toil, and in some sense, iccumulate wealth, but his toil will only be the struggle of putrefaction, and his heaping together nothing but stagnation. The risible church is made up of a vast multitude of single individuals, but all those individuals are united together by a tie which is indissoluble. Not unfrequently individuals, prompted by the enemy of all good, :*orae to the rash conclusion that they will ibandon the church. They do not mean to say that they will abandon the service of Liod and give up all hopes of heaven. All that they design by this conclusion is that they will work for themselvesand by themselves. The man who attempts to work ;>nly for himself and alone, undertakes a task which he never will accomplish. lie may cease to work for (iod, but the less he labors for (iod the more will lie toil and struggle for the devil. to?* Every converted man should be a i 1 preacher of the gospel; not from the pulpit, j J but by the wayside, or from such position as each is called to fill. Common gratitude 1 should prompt every one who has received the inestimable blessing of peace and pardon to proclaim the fact; silence, under \ such circumstances, is ingratitude and sin. ^ The desire to bring others into the same u, blissful relations to God should incite us in the same direction. When one hears the k< Saviour's voice saying, "Thy sins are forgiven thee," the spirit that prompts the question, "Am I my brother's keeper?" j takes its flight and there comes an earnest i desire to bring in those who are without; to seek and to save the lost. It is by pro- : claiming the truth, too, that one becomes rooted and grounded in the truth, lie peat- H ^ A J4- rm-ri lioartc I lOg U1C SllJry lllbrnsilics u 111 uui w??.i w ami makes it still more potent and precious, a The proclaiming of the gospel not cnly fa burns it into other souls but into your own "t also. Tell the story, then, and repeat it to o'er and o'er. ' P! It is wonderful how devoted the heathen are to their idols, which do nothing for them, and how little devotion is manifested by Christians toward Cod, from whom cometh down every good and perfect gift, and in whom they live and have their being. It is strange that so many men spend dollars for strong drink and not a cent for the .1 education of their children. w ()ne element of the misery of the lost 1,1 will be that they will be cut off'from the j" means of gratifying their carnal appetites. w There will be men in perdition who will vs have an intense thirst for whisky, but there will be no grog-shops or government stills ? in that place where Cod has forgotten to be gracious. afcgr Praised and starved is the way the world treats its real benefactors. The most painful thing about it is, that the praise is not bestowed until existence has been starved out. A piece of bread is denied the living i and a marble shaft placed over the dead.
