When I had my rent to pay and noth ing to pay it with, aud bread to buy aud nothing to buy it with, I used to sit down and cry. Pat now I do not get discouraged. If I go along tho street, when I come to a corner of the stree t, 1 say, ‘The Lord help me.' I then go on until I come, to another crossing of the street, and again I say, ‘The Lord help mo. ’ And so I utter a prayer at every crossing, and since I have got into tho habit of saying these ‘cross prayers’ I have been able to keep up my courage.’’ Loam again from thi;i subject that people sometime-; aro surprised to find out thutwbut they have been struggling with in the darkness is really an “angel of blessing. ” Jacob found in the morn ing that this strange perse,urge was not an enemy, but a God dispatched messen ger to promise prosperity for him and for his children. And so many a man at the close of his trial has found out that he has been trying to throw down his own blessing. If you are a Chris tian man, I will go back in your his tory and find thattho grandest things that have ever happened to you have been your trials. Nothing short of scourging, imprisonment and shipwreck could have made Paul what he wan. Joseph's Hard Struggle. When David was fleeing through tho wilderness, pursued by his own sou, he was being prepared to become tho sweet singer of Israel. The pit and the dun geon were the best schools at which Jo seph ever graduated. The hurricane that upset the tent and killed Joh'sj hil- dron prepared the man of Uz to be the subject of the magnificent poem that has astounded the ages. There is no way to get tho wheat out of the straw but to thrash it. Them is no way to purify tho gold hut to burn if. Look at the people who have always had it their own way. They are proud, discontent ed, useless and unhappy. If you want fo find cheerful folk, go among those who have been purified by the fire. After Rossini had rendered “William Tell” tho five hundredth time a company of musicians came under his window in Paris and serenaded him. They put up on Ills brow a golden crown of laurel loaves. But amid all the applause and enthusiasm Rossini turned to a friend and said, “I would give all this bril liant scene for a few days of youth and love.” Contrast tho melancholy feeling of Rossini, who had everything that his world could give him, with the joy ful experience of Is: an Watts, whoso sorrows were great, when he saya: Tho lit 11 of Zion y!"l(M A thousnml sacred r.vi "Is Before wo rer.< h the heavenly fields Or wall: tho golden utrcoh*. the s-ko (if my soul, of my family, of my children m l of my God I moat stop this.” And, behold, ho found him self alonr; by tl brook of Jabbok, and it was midnight. That evil appetite seized up; n him, and ho seized upon it, and, oh, tii - horror of tho conflictl When on' -: a bad habit hath roused it self up to b- ?i. / a mail, and the man Jias sv.-iiTii that, by the help of tho eter nal God, !. will destroy it, all heaven draws it If int in long line of light to look ire... air mm all hell stretches itself in mynti. an of spite to look up from 1 m...ii. I have seen men rally them , !ve:} h r a f’trngglo, and they have l-ituai i! ' lips and clinched their fists and cried with n blood red earnest- ness and a rain of scalding tears, “God help me!” T!»- tilisnt Habtt. From awr.dlo with habit I have seen m n fall back defeated. Calling for no h-Ip, but relying on their own resolutions, they have come into tho struggl ■, and for a time it seemed as if they were getting tho upper hand of their hahit, i ut that habit rallied again its infernal power and lifted tho soul from it.; standing, aud with a force bor rowed from tho pit hurled it into outer Uarkiji. h. But, thank Gad, I have often seen a bettor termination than this. I have seen men prepare themselves for kucIi a wrestling. They laid hold of God’s help as liny w ot into combat. The giant habit, i gulf'd by tho cap of many dissipate'i::;, c nun out strong and defi ant. They clinched. Them wore the writhing:) a; d distortions of a fearful Btrugylo But tho old giant began to waver, aud at last, iu tho midnight alone, with none bnfc God to witness, by the brock Jabbok, the giant fell, and the triumphant wrestler broke tho darkneM with the cry, “Thanks he un to God, who giveth us tho victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” There i.i a widow’s heart that first was d‘ solattd by bereavement aud since by the anxieties and trials that came in tho support of a family. It is a sad thing to see a man contending for a livelihood under disadvantages, but to see a delicate woman, with helpless lit tle ones at In r back, fighting tho giants of poverty and sorrow IS more affect ing. It was a humble home, and pass- ersby knew not that within those four Walls were displays of courage more ad mirable than that of Hannibal crossing tho Alps or in the pass of Thermopylro or at Bulaklava, where “into tho jaws of death rode tho six hundred.” These h» roes had tho whole world tp cheer them on, but tlun were none to applaud the strugg! i i.” that hmnhln homo.

Could it be that none would Thru lot our noiicH ubouiift And every toar lm dry. We're marching through IminanucTs £ round To fairer world.; on liinh. It is prosperity that kills aud trouble that saves. While the Israelites were on tbo march, amid givut privations and hardships, tiny behaved well. After awhile they prayed for meat, and tins sky darkened with a great flock of quails, and these quails fell in great multitudes all about them, and tho Is raelites ate and ate an,) stuffed them selves until they died. Oh, my friends, It Is net hardship or irial or starvation that injures the s pul, but abundant sup ply. It is not the vulture of trouble that eats up the Christian's life. It is tho quails, it is the quails. You will yet find out that your midnight wre, tie by tbo brook Jabbck is with an angel of God come down to bli ss uml to save. The Marti uf the Strusglu, Learn again that while our wrestling with trouble might bo triumphant wo must expect that it will leave its mark upon us. Jacob prevailed, but tho angel touched him, and his thigh bone sprung from its socket, anrl the good man wont limping on his way. We must carry through this world the mark of the combat. What plowed these premature wrinkles in your face? What whitened your hair before it was time for frost? What silenced forever so much of the hilarity of your household? Ah, it is because the angel of trouble bath touch ed you that you go limping ou your Way. You need not bo surprised that those who have passed through the fire do not feel as gay as once they did. Do not bo out of patience with those who eomn not out of their despondency. They may triumph over their loss, and yet their gait shall tell you that they have been trouble touched. Are we sto ics that wo can unmoved see our cradle rifled of the bright eyes and tho sweet lips? Can wo stand unmoved and boo | our gardens of earthly d< light uprooted? Will Jesus, who wept himself, bo an gry with us if we isiur our tears into i tho graves that, open to swallow down I what we loved best? Was Lazarus more dear to him than our beloved dead to i us? No. Wo have a right to weep. Our tears must come. You shall not drive : them hack to scald the heart. They fall ; into God’s 1 attic. Afflicted ones have died because they could not weep, i Thank God for the sweet, the mysteri ous relief that comes to us iu tears. Un der this gentle rain tho flowers of hope put forth their bloom. God pity that dry, withered, parched, all consuming grief that wrings its hands and grinds its teeth and bites its nails into the quick, but cannot weep. We may have found the comfort of the cross aud yet ever after show that in the dark night and by the brook Jabbok we were trou ble touched. Tim Welcome Hawn. Again wo may take the idea of tho text and announce the approach of tho day dawn. No one was ever more glad to see the morning than was Jacob after that night of t'ruggle. it in appropri ate for philanthropists and Christian!, to cry out with this angel of the text, “The day brenkr th. ” The world's pros pects are brightening. .Superstition has had it« «trong«st props knocked out. The tyrants of sarlli are falling flat in the dust. Tho church of Cln ist is rising up hi Its strength to go forth, “fair ns tbo morn, clear as the sun and terrible as an army with banners.” Clap your hands, all yo people, “tho day break- rth.” As I look around about mo I see many who have passed through waves of trouble that came up higher than their girdle. In God’s name I proclaim i cessation of hostilities. You Bhall not always go saddem d and heartbroken. God will lift your burden. God will bring j our dead to life. God will stanch the heart’s bleeding. I know be will. Like as a father piticth his children, so tho Lord pities you. The pains of earth ! will oud. Tho tomb will burst. Tho dead will riso. The morning star trem bles on a brightening .*i:y. The gates of J : the east begin to swing open. “The day brenketh. ” Luther and Melnnehthou were talking together gloomily about the prospects of tbo church. They could see no hope of deliverance. After awhile Luther got i up and said to Melanchthou, “Come, Philip, let us ning the Forty-sixth Psalm, ‘God is our refuge and strength iu every time cf trouble. ’ ” The I. mt Wrestle. Death to many, nay, to all, is a struggle and a wrestle, \vo have many friends whom it would bo hard to leave, I caro not how bright our future hope is. It is a bitter thing to look upon this ' fair world and know that wo Khali uev- i cr again see its blos-oming spring, its ! autumnal fruits, its sparkling streams and to say farewell to those with whom ! wo played in childhood cr counseled in | manhood. In that night, like Jacob, we may have to wrestle, but God will not - leave us unblessed. It shall not bo told ‘ in heaven that a dying soul cried unto I God fur help, but was not delivered. I The lattice may bo turned do keep out j the sun or a book set to dim the light of the midnight taper, or the room may i be filled with the cries of orphanage or ' widowhood, or tho church of Christ may mourn over our going, but if Jmis calls all is well. Tho strong wrestling by the brook will cease, tho hours of death’s night will pass along, 1 o’clock | in the morning, 4 o’clock in the morn ing, 5 o’clock iu the morning, ‘‘tho day broaketii. ” So I would have it when I die. I am in no haste to be gone. I would like to stand hero 20 years and preach this gos pel. I havo no grunge against this world, ttie only fault I have to find with this world is that it treats mo too well. But when the tinio comes to go I trust to bo ready, my worldly affairs all settled. If I have wronged otlr re, I want then to bo sure of their forgive ness. In that last wrestling, my arm enfeebled with sickness anil my head faint, I want Jesus hostile me. If there bo hands on this side of tho flood stretch ed out to hold mo back, I want tho heavenly hands stretched out to draw me forward. Then, O Jesus, help me on and help mo up.

The day brraketh. ” Tho Czar os an Autocrat. The Wiener Tagblatt, au influential Austuian journal, has found au extraor dinary reason for praising the demeanor of the czar. Ho actually allowed Mine. Fauro and IMme. Brisson, who are not oven hoffahg, to (line at tho same table, with himself and the czarina. Such a concession to republican principles would, the journuliHt continues, be ab solutely impossible iu Vienna, where, though a low born man might bo ad mitted to tho emperor’s table, his wife never could be. Tbo fact is correct and was ouce tho occasion of a curious scene at tho Hofburg when the emperor had to exert his personal authority to obtain partners for his premier’s daughter, but our contemporary surely mistakes tho feeling of the czar. In his mind, as in that of every true autocrat, there is no rank except that derived from his favor. His notice, in fact, as Nicholas J once openly said, of itself confers rank. The well born iu Russia havo social ad vantages, ns everywhere cIbo, but Pet< r the Great’s ablest minister was a cook or sutler, and the tradition has never been forgotten. In Russia, as in every oriental country without exception, all careers are as open ns in the United States.—London Spectator. Boro I* a True rictnrr of lliu l*rrM by a flTrlM Kilitor. Issacbar, the Scriptures tell us (never mind about tho purl Scalars of the de- Bcription), "stoopetb between two bur dens.” Mr. Lamed, in his general sur vey cf the mission of books and of news papers, Is disposed to lay upon cr jour nalistic Issr.chnr a burden grievous to [ bo borne. Others have another back ; load ready for his patient dorsalities. A few remarks of a different tenor may i therefore be in order at this stage of tho ! march of civiliza'ion, in which upon any theory Issachar has a vested Intcr- ; est. At the Swiss national exposition of this year the newspapers of that small republic made a display of their forces, mustering in unexpected numbers. A volume of more than f>00 pag'-s, contain ing a catalogue of ROOIf journals of all forms and every kind published in the | cantons, was brought out, and in if were j monographs of history, literature, etc., relating to the origin and development j of Swiss journalism, which appears to be the growth of just one century. The j oldest of the Swiss papers hardly dates I before 179(1, and there aro. but half a dozen which are 100 years old. A few others aro more than 00 years, but most of the thousand are of the second half cf tbo century. 'J be Swiss of the eight eenth century and well ii.:n the nine teenth lived without newspaper;, as they did without doctors and dentists, says this volume, and got along well without them. But now every one reads and scolds as ho reads. Tho editor of this book recalcitrates a little at this. Ho says: “Would that the government whose faults wocoverup, the politicians whoso speeches wc correct, tho parties whoso platforms we publish, tho election com mittees whom wc lead to victory or whoso defeat we disguise, tho incapable Candidate whom wo hold up ns a great man, the manufacturer whoso advertise ment gets slipped in, the trader who craves our kindness, the financier who begs our services, the hotel keeper who briugs us bills of faro from which others havo eaten, tho artist who extoits big adjectives for a very little painting, tho author who bores us with bis dull vol umes, the public which assails ns with reclamations—in short, the whole world of unreasonable grumblers—could thunk us for our inexhaustible and childish good nature and compensate ns by grat itude and respect for the endless bother they hove given ns. But, nn! The jour nalist iu Switzerland is taken for n kind of drudge, of whom anything can be exacted, who owes something to everybody and to whom nobody ever thinks of paying anything whatsoever. In this childlike ingratitude of tho pub lic we find a lofty satisfaction, unattain able by common men—the consoling knowledge that we aro better than our reputation, that we are creditors of many rich folks without ever raising a finger to collect the debt. Ah, the draft the)' set to our lips is wholesome—and exquisitely bitter. For the man eon- fcIous of strength disdain is u divine dose. ’ ’ With some ex:’.ggerntions this is a pic ture of the press everywhere. But there are compensations, and there is perhaps “a good time coming,”-r.s thufcuu&tfuyjt The same lively writer goes on to say, ‘.’The part that journalism playw in onr public uud social life broadens from year to year and will ever increase.” This is true of America no less than of Switzerland, and the exhortation which follows there is equally in place hero: “That journalism Hhquid always be beneficial depends (in ourselves, ou the estimation, more or Iors high, in which we hold our noble profession, on our self respect, ou our freedom of speech uud our courage iu presence of power. Let Its avoid toadies and ilatlerers, ac cept presents from no one, remember that wealth is often dishonor and pover ty no crime. Let us seek no other re ward than tho witness of a good con science. If wo aro truthful and sincere, wo Bhall bo listened to and respected.” Poor Issachar must drop his ears, take up his load aud jog on with this encour agement. The Star Slrluo. Tho lato Alvan Clark of Cambridge- port, Muss., discovered in 18i!2 that tho star Sirius had a far less brilliant com panion. Continued observation for near ly 110 years proved that this second body revolved around the first one in an ellip tical orbit, at n distance nearly as great as tho planet Neptune from the sun. But In 1890 tho companion disappeared from view, having reached a point in its track so nearly in line with Sirius that its faint light was overwhelmed by tho dazzling elTulgi nco of tho dogstnr. During tho last six years it has traveled far enough to become visible ouce more. Dr. T. J. J. See of the University of Chicago, temporarily at the Lowell ob servatory, Flagstaff, A.
