RELIGION, MORALS ANO PHILOSOPHY. Rev. C. C. BROWN? Editor. HEAVY LADEN. -o "Ve that arc bcaw ladea."-Matt, xi : 23. And dost thou fee! thy troubles lay A heavy burden, O ay soul ? And dost thou hear thy heart-beats say, I long to reach a restful goal? Or art thou weary of the strife And toil that WID for thee thy crown ? Impatient for the heavenly life, That weighs not thus thy spirit down ? Ah ! know my soul, that wings and plumes Are burdens to the little bird ; Yet by their means, from leafy gloom He flies, and lets his soDg be heard. The burdens that .would make thee bead, Thy heavenly Father here hath given, That as the bird's, its weight may lend A power by which to rise to heaven. Though burdened sore, and in the dark, Thou'lt find thy burden and supplies, To bear thee, as on wings the lark. Out beyond the leaden skies. Vp ia the light of endless day, Beyond where bird on wing hath flown. . Thou soon, my soul shalt soar away. To realms where burdens are unknown. Conscience and Strong Drink, j Mr. J. B. Vassar gives the following ; incident in the life of his father, "Un- j cle John Vassar," which show? what ! conscience says on the question of the I drink traSc. *My father, as is known to many j was for years in the employ of Matthew j Vassar, the founder of Vassar College. ! It may not be generally known that the | money with which the college was j fonnded was made from the sale of pale ; ale. My father was the foreman in the,: business whilst most of the money was i being made. Whoo he was converted ? and for 'conscience sake' left the busi- j ness, Matthew Vassar was very much i offended, and for a number of years j would not speak to him. A year before | Matthew Vassar departed this life ? father called upon him, and as was his j wont, offered a short prayer before j leaving, Mr. Vassar kneeling. I, a j boy, observed the two men with un- j common interest. Never shall I forget ; that at the ending of the prayer Mat- ; thew Vassar, rose and with tears, laying ; his hand upon father's shoulder, said, j 'John, you did right in leaving the j business.' ' This is the way things look when ; life's closing shadows gather. It is | well for us sometimes to see our course i from the stand-point of a dying bed. j Was there ever aman who in his latest j hours rejoiced that he had spent his life \ in making, selling, or using strong j drink ? Shall we do in life's course j what we would not do at life's close 1 i Christian. The Consolations of God. Have you ever seen, or, perhaps, j made one of, a party of people who are j going to explore some dark deep cavern j -the mammoth Cave of Kentucky, or j the Catacombs of Home? They all j stand out in the sunlight, and the at- ; tendants, ?who know the journey they arc going to make, pass round among | them and put into thc hand cf each a : lighted candle. How useless it seems j -how pale and colorless the little flame ! Appears in the gorgeous flood of sun- '? light! Bpt the procession moves along : \ one after another enters the dark cav- \ .era's mouth ; one after another loses the j splendor of daylight; lu the hands of j one after another the feeble " candle- ? light comes out bright in the darkness ; ! and by and by they are walking in j the dark, holding fast their candles as i if they were their very life-totally ; dependent now upon what seemed so use- : less half an hour ago. That seems toi ?ne to be a picture of the way in which j God's promises of consolation, which we attach very little meaning to at first, : come out into beauty and value as we j pass on into our lives.-Philips j Brooks. Character. Many people seem to forget that ; character grows ; that it is not some- : thing to put on ready-made with w.,man hood or manhood ; but day by day, | here a little and there a little, grews j with the growth, and stregthens with the strength, until, 'good or bad. it be- ! comes almost a coat of mail. Look at a man of business-prompt, realiable, : conscientious, yet clear-headed and energetic. When do you suppose he developed all those admirable qualities? : When he was a boy ? Let us see how a boy of ten years gets up in the morn? ing, works, plays, studiess. and we will \ tell you just what kind cf a man be, will make. Thc boy that is late at breakfast, late at school, stands a poor chance to le a prompt mac. The boy who neglects his duties, be they ever so small, and then excuse? himself by say? ing, "I forgot! will never be a reliable man. And the boy who finds pleasure in the sufferings, of weaker things will j never be a nobie, generous, kind man- ? a gentlemau.-Christian Helper. Ail true Christians, are striving to effect the same thing. The object of their faith is thc same, and they aro all animated by thc same, spirit There is only one Christ, by whom all must bc redeemed; but one Holy Spirit, by j whom all must be sanctifled and mude fit for heaven ; tnt one Bible, by which all must be instructed in thc way of life; and only one New Jerusalem, thc everlasting home of all the redeemed ; and saDCtiSed. However much true believers may differ, the time will come : wnen ali will see eye to eye. Fathers on earth cannot always help us ; they are on our level ; themselves enfeebled and perplexed. But when Jesus says, 'Say, our Father which ari in beaveu,' he raises our view to thc greatness and the power of God. There j in heaven, he has leisure to help us. ' He has the infinite perfection that leaves him free to bear the bardens of others. Helias the resources from which lie cnn supply-our neel, and the place of van? tage from which ho eau influence all that happens. Little Freddie was talking to his grandma, who was something of a skeptic. 'Grandma, do you belong to the Presbyterian Church V 'No,' 'To the Baptist?' 'No ' 'To any Chu: JU 'No.' *Wcil, grandma, don't you think it's about time to get in some? where V Shadows. Little May Elliotts mother was a widow, and although she was a perfect lady, she was cot at all rich, and lived io a small bouse. May received an invitation to go to a children's party at the house of a school-fellow. She was very eager to join in the fun, for there was to be a uiagi~ lantern. Mrs. Klliott was only too pleased for her little girl to have such a pleasure. May was full of delight until one morning when she met two of her com? panions, who described to her the grand dresses they were to have made for the coming party. May knew she was to wear her old dark blue merino frock. She hastened home, rushed into her mother's bed-room, and at once begged for a new and smart dress. Very gently Mrs. Eliott refused her, saying that she could not afford it. May loved her mother so dearly that she could not go on press? ing for it after she saw the pained look come into the sweet blue eyes. She marched down into the parlor with a very sore heart, and, sitting down in her mother's American chair, began to think it all over. She felt too big a girl to cry for thc want of a new dress, but she squeezed her apron very tightly in her little plump hand to keep back the tears. 'It is very hard,' she thought, "to be poor How is it Lucy and Car? rie Goodman have a father, and live in a uno house, and can have every single thing they want, and I have no dear papa and we are so poor, and I can't buy half what I like ? It is hard.' She said something of this to her mother. 'Ah, my darling,' answered Mrs. Elliott, 'God is kinder than you think. He has given you many good things you do not remember. It is a much greater honor to be your . dear father's child, poor as we are, than if he had been a rich man May was very proud of her good and noble father, whom God had taken home to live with him, so she could say nothing. All the same she now disliked the idea of going to the party because of her shabby frock. Whcu the evening came she mounted the steps of Mrs. Dark's grand house with a beating heart. In a handsome bed-room several lit? tle girls were taking off their wrap's before a bright fire, or in front of the long wardrobe looking-glass. May thought they looked like sc many fairy queens ; and she could not help seeing how they stared at her thick dress. She put one eager prayer that Jesus would keep her from the sin of envy, and then went down stairs. Mrs. Dark spoke very kindly to the poor child looking so downcast. A fine-looking, elderly gentlemen, who was standing by her hostess, turned round at the sound of May's name. 'My dear,' he said to the little girl 'was your father the llev. John Elliott, the missionary who was killed by savages after doing such a noble work in South Africa V 'Yes,' replied May, with flushed checks, and eyes bright with loving pride. 'God has given you great houor in such a father dear child, although He has taken him to live with Himself. And then the gentleman turned round to Mrs. Dark and told her thc story of May's father. Everybody took it up ;md looked with interest on the little daughter of thc great and good man. 'My word !' said a bright-looking boy to May, 'was your father really that splendid fellow who rescued the poor black man from the lion in that flue book about South Africa. After tho first five minutes in th2 drawing-room, May never once remem? bered that she had on a shabby frock. When she returned home, and her dear mother gently and half sadly asked if she had enjoyed her evening, she eagerly poured out her story-how she had never had such a nice time in her life, and nobody had noticed her dark dress, because they were so full of the great deeds of her father. And so Mary learned that her life was not all shadows, and that the good name God's servants leave behind them is a far better legacy to their children than gold and silver.-Child's Com? panion. - ?II m -?*.*-OB It is stated that the common grades of glass made at the factories in Pitts? burg have a crushing streugth nearly four times as great as the strongest quality of granite and the leading manufacturers in that city say that blocks of glass can be made of suitable lengths and sizes and so annealed as to be available ic the construction of buildings iustcad of stone, the blocks being made to adhere together by j the usc of cement. With the progress of invention the cost of glass has been lessening, while the quality of thc fabric is becoming better. In paris of Germany and ou one linc in England glass ties arc being used on railroads with entire success. They are as use? ful as wood, and last 75 per cent, lon? ger It will readily bc seen that very pictur sque buildings might be maje of colored glass. True piety is unassuming and unpre? tentious. It does not put on airs of superiority, nor manifest a spirit of self assertion. Paul esteemed himself less than the least of all saints-usiu" a c double diminutive to more fully express his feeling of deep humility. The stronger the light that shines into our hearts, the more cicariy do we discover our defects ; the greater the manifesta? tions of the divine goodness to us, the more deeply do we feel our unworthi? ness. As we rise in thc divine favor, we s:r?k in our own esteem, realizing that wc aro saved by grace through faith, and not by any merit wc possess. It is in the humble and contrite ones that God delights, and with them he deigns to dwell ?IT?- -O?- -*3mmWm*M? - The gospel is not fully preached un? less it is positively proelamed that 'Whosoever believed not. shall be d:: m li? ed." Jonah wa.-certain]y a very success? ful {?reacher, and so far as we are informed, he said nothing but 'Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be de? stroyed.1' A law without a penalty is worth nothing. The only condition of the caven ant of grace is faith-believe and le saved-hut God always deals fairly, candidly and honestly with the sinner. Hence he mal:-.: it the duty of preachers of the gospc- to proel;, i m in the ears of every one, that whosoever bclieveth not. shall be damned. As surelv .-.>. thou desnisest or nctj Letest to i:i;or;ve the r?enos of (!o.;*s goodness, so surely shalt thou share in thc treasures of his wrath. The Oldest Republic. It is said that Marino, a small State in Italy, between thc Appenines, the j Po, and Adriatic, is the oldest Re? public on earth. Its territory is only forty miles in circumference, and its i population about 0,000. The Repub- j j lie was founded more than 1,400 j j years ago, on moral principles, in j dus try, and equality, and has prc- | j served its liberty and independence ? ! amid all the wars and discords which i have raged around it. Bonaparte re- j spected it and sent an embassy to ! express his sentiments of friendship and fraternity, lt is governed by a j captain regent chosen every six ' months by thc representatives of the people (sixty in number) who are chosen every six months by the people. The taxes are ligjji, the farm houses are neat, the lields are well cultivated, and on all sides are ! seen comfort and plenty-thc happy j effect of morality, simplicity, and j frugality. It is probably the first and only instance where the strength of the State has consisted, as one might say, in its exceeding weak- j ( ness. Shakspearc used more words tban any other English author. Ile em? ployed some 16,000 words. Milton was the next in the copiousness of i his selections. There is probably not j a distinguished author living who j uses more than 10,000 words The ordinary editor uses only some 3,000. A petrified alligator is said to have j been found embedded in solid rock, twenty feet under ground, in a quarry j j two miles from Saratoga Springs. It j is five feet seven inches in length, and j measures, two feet back of the head, ! niue inches in diameter. The old clothes that we wear no longer may give comfort and confi? dence to a man in naked destitution. The truths that are so familiar to us j that we never think about them, may j j raise utterly ignorant to ?sense of j j their human brotherhood. i "^fiSlnksTED. I Some Important Statements of Well-Kno^rn People Wholly Verified. In order that the public may fully realize ! the genuineness of the statements, as well as. j ^the-power and value of the article of which the:?" speak, we publish herewith ihc/ac simile i signatures of parlies whose sincerity is beyond question.
