His income was wood-built j[ bouse still charge extended over of valhae and . i family lived sparing iey did not murmur ; they contented and happy. jj The minister retitrning one day gem a journey to a distant part of his field of labor, found to his dis may his wife dying and his daughter drowned in tears callipg upon God. p«ath had suddenly broken the chain ! of love which bonnd the three together. Ciska, sdthough but a. child, did her utmost to supply her mother place. She not only attend ed to the house and the kitchen, but she took every day, unaccompanied, long walks through the almost un inhabited district in order to provide the necessary supplies for her father and herself. Neither co^nor raiu, nor the frequently almost impassable roads prevented her. It was a ideas me to see her with a long staff in her hand, move over the ground. Her dress was of browu woolen, spun, woven had made with her own > hands; a red belt with a large silver bockle encircled her Waist, and her .feet were clad iu coarse shoes with l high heels; she fearlessly and trust ingly made her way through the snow which midsummer’s heat hard ly melted. Duriqg the long winter the snow, which crashed beneath her feet, and dazzled her eyes when rais ed to the peaks of the .lofty moun- ■ tains along her path, was her ouly companion daring the frequent ab- "seoce of her father, whom pastoral duties often compelled to leave his daughter alone for weeks iu the par- sooage. . During one of her fathers long » sbe, either in oonaequeuce when climbing the rnoun tain, or from the effects of the bright glare of the snow, felt that her sight was failing. At first every object aeemed to her to be enveloped iu a gray and half transparent vail, then it was as if dark and strangely shaped moths were dancing in the air wherever she turned her eyes, and she could not look steadily at .anj object Without seeing hundreds of cobwebs floating before her eyes. The gray veil became darker and heavier, and when her father returned from a long and wearisome journey, his daughter was nearly blind. The aged minister was very jwor; a journey to Christiana was beyond bis means ,* but he Jived as savingly as possible, after a whole year had passed, to undertake the long journey with his daughter, who was now per fectly blind. It was a touching sight to see the minister whom years and exposure had aged, lean on the arm of his daughter, while his still clear *®d bright eyes sought the road for ttoth. Father and daughter reached the capital of Norway, after a diffi cult and fatiguing journey of two mouths; but they had tasked their strength too much. Both were taken <lown with sickness as soon as they arrived, anti three days later, the P°or blind girl bad neither mother oor father. She was now apparently entirely forsaken, .blind, and among [•effect strangers; could there be a state of greater destitution .T But Ciska was one of God’s children, and she now experienced that He is faith ful and “forsaketh not his saints.” bod was a very present help in her ffffiotest trouble. He had. made the mugh ways smooth for his child even before she had the least pre sentiment of His presence. A vio- lent fever took away the bitterness Of her great loss; its wild fancies kept off the dark despair which oth- . *rw»c might have overwhelmed her; when at last she awoke to con sciousness, a motherly looking lady *hiHperciI gently, “my child, you arc with friends.” She was indeed with * XUt} trieuds, who lovingly cared for U|J known orphan,' whom they louutl at death’s door in a lwarding where no one knew even her ■ ^ y°uug physician whom ® keeper of the'boarding house hail in > the helpless *>hild car- n to his motiieris house, whose <^vful nursing, together with her _ os skill, had, through the Lord’s ^ c**tug y been instrumental in saving ft Cr y®*' Eighteen months had passed 8 * Uce then; eighteen months for her father and the niimJi * °f 1161 eyes ’ which con- 51 U8 oless and louely ex- lad UC< ’, ^ child, said the aged J j er one day,” my son loves Ia j yon l° ve him.

She tenderly 'hMktr, h “ mother, and h^r with ferment kisses. Ciska and her pkysiciau were married. A year of great happiness swiftly E>ed' away for the young people; when the physician one day said to his young wife; “Dear Ciska, you are in a few mouths to become a mother. Do you not wish to see with yotir eye* tyie child, God gives you 1” V’iska could only answer with tears. “Well,” continued her hus band, “prepare yourself to submit to an operation for removing the cat aract. I hope to be able to perform it In four days.” Ciska siezed his hand, pressed it to her heart, and submitted quietly to all the prepara tions which the operation made nec essary. Though her lips were closed, her heart was full of glad hopes. She was to see with her eyes the mail she loved so well, the mother-in-law who was truly her second mother, and the child she was lovingly wait ing fori The operation was about to be performed. At first the hand of the skillful operator seemed to have forgotten its wonted cunning, but it was for au instant; he quickly re covered from his intense emotion, his hand was again-firm. Ciska did not move; no complaints escaped her lips; but from her inmost heart as cended fervent snpplicatioiiR to the Great Pkysiciau. Eight days of mingled fear and ho[H3 passed. Ciska was still occupying her bell; then came ’Christiern her husband, loosed the bandages and re moved the apparatus which held her eyes closed. She could now open them—Ciska saw! After a few- weeks of care, the full and uurestrained use of her eyes were permitted. God and her husband had cured her, and three mouths later she, as the Nor wegians say, was permitted to caress her new-born child with her eyes. Ciska is this very day the happy wife of Dr. A- -n, one of the most distinguished living physicians and naturalists of Scandiuavia. An Important Question. “How can we retain the confirmed youth ia connection with our churches, and what is their relation to them, whilst prevented by minority frittn the exercises of the full njcht* of membendup f’ At the meeting of the First Dis trict Conference of the Synod of Pennsylvania this question was fully discussed, many members giving expression to their views. It was stated that a number of those con firmed every year are again lost to our church, a few straying off-to other denominations, but more goiug btwA to the world; the latter being especially the ease in the German churches. The reason why some stray off to other denominations, it was said, i$ the attraction there oftCh presented to the young; the means adopted to draw them in being at variance with the doctriuesof the Lutheran Church; the stress laid upon, and the display .made with the outward forms of god liness ; and we, uot going with them i n these methods a ml forms, are reproached as being devoid of spiritual life. By these means the young, not sufficiently grounded in the faith, atid not yet knowing wherein the glory of our church lies, are allured. ^ V Then again the parents aire often at fault ; there is often no family instruction deserving of tlio name ; where formerly the gospel and epis- tlefiresous were read, and, with the catechism, explained by the fathers and mothers, they are now satisfied with what is imparted at Sunday- school, which, however good, can never take the place of home in struction. Parents, too often also neglect to bring the young members of the household to the regular Snmlay services, to mingle their voices with the congregation in praise and prayer, aud listen to the preached Word. On account of this neglect it must be said of many breaking the vows renewed at the altar: they have never been trained to be habitual attendants at the house of God— strangers to their own church and its services. . * *It was claimed that the Sunday- school not iinfrequenfly does injury by causiug the church service to be esteemed of little value to the young; not to speak of the indistinct and confused knowledge often conveyed. It was then stated to remedy the evil complained of, we must show that we have more to attract and glory iu than human forms and methods; the Word in its purity, that w here TT shines, the life hid with Christ, the purest form of god liness, will be the result, aud conse quently no weed of looking about for anything better than onr church affords. It was also stated that we must have open churches, at suitable times, dispensing the means of grace, so that there is no pretext given for wandering away. Then, too, the latent energies, especially of the young, should be called into activity’, societies should be formed in every congregation, such as missionary and church ex tension, aud even literary. Fathers jand mothers must go back to the old paths, remembering that they are, of God’s appointment, the priests of the household—the teach ers of, and the intercessors for every member iu it. Lutkerto Catechism— so full and iuexhaustibly rich that th© great Reformer himself sat under it as its scholar—must take the place in the family which he gave it as the compend of all its teachings. Stress was also laid on pastoral visitation. We must be earnest preachers in the pulpit, bnt no leas faithful pastors of the flock over which the Holy Ghost hns made us overseers; we most visit the families, be in sympathy with the parents, giving evidence that the spiritual welfare of the children deeply con cerns ns; where we find declension in the divine life inquire after the cause, und endeavor to remove It. The President of Conference, be ing requested to give his experience, stated that the subject he had sug gested for consideration had for many years occupied his mind; he had during his ministry of fifteen years in~ Philadelphia confirmed about 1,500 young persons. Last October he announced a general re union to be held In November. Ou the Sunday appointed about two- thirds of them were present; a printed invitation had been seut to all whose address could be ascertain ed. Those at a distance, scattered over the. entire Uniou aud other countries—one even iu China—return ed answers, stating their willingness but also impossibility of being pres ent. An organization was effected, the main object of which is to re main faithful to the vows made at confirmation ; each class formed a separate organization to continue the relation formed aud to aid iu cas« of distress. A resolution was also passed that the pastor deliver a monthly afternoon sermon on the Catechism. This has been done by the pastor w ithout interruption, ex cept during the summer mouths. The results have been satisfactory; not only were many of his former catechumens regularly present, but also many, especially of the older, members of the congregation. • The plan, it was stated, is too uew to guarantee continued interest and tnture efficiency. The concluding remarks were: The main element of success is, in so presenting the truth that the hearts become changed; and that with the most perfect arrangements and sin cere endeavors we would hate to fear lest some receive the grace of God in vain.— Lutheran ami Muurion ory. ■ Ecclesiastical. . . dispatch from Dublin announces that many of the Jesuits expelled from Germany will come to Ireland, where they are promised a, hearty weloome.

Junks, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Ceutreville, Iowa, shot himself iu bis room ou the 20th of August. The cause or circumstances attend iug this sad event have not yet been published. The Rev. John G. Hanlon, M. R. I.

The Episcopacy.-*question of an episcopal organization is again agita 1 ted in Germany. We have received a copy of au “Open letter to his Majesty, the German emperor, and to all the royal mqJeatieH and prince ly highnesses of the German empire, as summepiscopi of tho Gennan Evangelical church, advocating a re organization of the church.” Asking the Bleating.—When the late Admiral Foote was in Siam he invited the royal dignitaries to a din ner ou his vessel. As they sat down to the meal, the admiral, as was his custom, asked a blessing. The king in surprise said that he thought that only missionaries.did that. “True,” was the brave hereto reply, “but eve ry Christian is a missionary.*’ The self deny itig Moravian mis sionaries ou the coast of Isibrador have translated the Bible into the Esquimaux language, and the British aud Foreigu Bible Society have com pleted the printing of the precious volume, so that now the people, so iguoraut and degraded before the miasiouaries began their Christian woik among them, can read iu their own tongue. , Thiel College.—The legacy of the late Louis Thiel, and the liberal do uatiou by the .cittaens of Greenville of seveu acres of land aud $20,000, without conditions, makes its |»erma uent establishment a thing of no uncertainly* u rn to be a true Church school.

A Wonderful Change.—Ex Presi dent Mahan, of Oberlfn College, has written a letter on the political situ ation. He proclaims that the “avowed policy” of the republican party is to subvert national morality, unchristi- anize the Church of Christ, scctiou alize the nation, generate a w-ar of races, and “savageize” the spirit of the divided sections and races toward each other. In conclusion the ven erated doctor speaks of “nominal Christians” in connection with their republican leadership. Down with the Cross.—.The city fathers of Insterbnrg have passed a singular resolution. In reply to a pe tition with but 41 signatures, circula ted by two prominent Israelites, ob jecting to the cross on the new fe male seminary as a symbol inconsist ent with modem views, the fathers’ ordered the cross to be taken down.

O, Tuat I Were Beautiful !— Is the unsi>oken wish of thousands of womeu to whom natnre has denied the charm of a pure, fresh transpa rent complexion. To gratify this wish llagan*s Magnolia Balm was introduced. The cosmetics of the day had been pronounced poisonous by the most distinguished chemists, and it was also found that their ulti mate effect was to wither the skin as well as to paralyze tho external nerves. The ladies hailed with de light tho ml vent of a healthful, her bal aud floral preparation capable of imparting to their faces, necks aud arms a potcelain smoothness and tinge like that of the finest of oriou- tal pearl. They soon discovered that it was a “new thing under tho sun,” incomparable and unapproachable. Unquestionably the Maguolia Balm has been the great toilet success of the present century. $1,000 Reward is offered by the proprietor of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, for a medicine that will equal it in the cure of all severe cnaes of “Liver Complaint,” and all diseases arising from im parity of the blood, as .Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Boils, etc. W"!!'!! .. 1 11 .
