BTJILDUfG AND BEING
o *? -
[From Geraldine. a Souvenir of St. Laicrence.~\
The king would build, so a legend says,
The finest of all fine palaces.
He sent for St. Thomas, a builder rare,
And bade him to rear them a wonder fair.
The King's great treasure was placed at band,
And with it the sovereign's one command,?
"Build well, 0 builder, so good and great!
And add tD the glory of my estate.
"Build well, nor spare of my wealth to show
A prouder palace than mortals know."
The king took leare of his kingdom then,
And wandered far from the baucts of men.
St. Thomas the king's great treasure spent
In-wortb:er way than bis master meant.
He clad the naked, the hungry fed,
The oil of gladness around him shed.
Ha blessed them all with the ample store,
As never a king's wealth blessed before.
The king came back from his journey long,
But found no grace in the happy throng
That greeted him now on bis slow return,
To teach htm a lesson he ought to learn.
The king came back to his well-spent gold ;
Bot no new palace could he behold.
In terrible auger he swore, and said
That the builder's folly should cost his head.
St. Thomas in dungeon dark was cast,
Till the time for his ponisment dire were
passed.
Then it chanced, or the good God willed it so,
That the king's own brother in death lay low.
When four days dead, as the legeud reads,
He rose to humanity's life and needs.
From sleep of the dust he strangely woke,
And thus to his brother, the king, he spoke :
"I hare been to Paradise, 0 my king!
And have beard the heavenly aagels sing.
"And there I saw, by the gates of gold,
A palace finer thau tongue has told ;
"Its walls and towers were lifted high
In beautiful grace to tbe bending sky;
"Its glories, there in that radiant place,
Shone forth like a smile from the dear Lord's
face.
"An Angel said it was builded there
By the good St. Thomas, with love and care
"For our fellow-men, and that it should be
Thy palace of peace through eternity."
Tbe king this vision pondered well,
Till he took St. Thomas from dungeon-cell,
And said, "0 builder! he is most wise
Who buildeth ever for Paradise."

Grace Sufficient for Us.
f- Jar away in the wilds of the great
West, amid that tangle of tortuous
ridge and valley which marks the
divide*' of the continent, towers a
mighty mountain. Whenever a Mexi
can sees, that mountain, he removes his
Cat and gazes reverently. It is no
wonder that he does. It is a sight
deeply suggestive of religious feeling.
For, far up in that mountain's flank,
where it meets the sky and where the
clouds often come down to rest, there
have been wrought by wrench of earth
quake and prying of the frost and beat
ing of the tempest, two great gulches,
running athwart each other precisely as
do the two portions of a cross. And in
the summer weather, when the other
snow from the mountain has melted
somewhat, and has behind it the green
of the trees aud the solid purple of the
naked rock?this snow, protected in
these deep cross-like gulches, remains
through the summer's heat, shining still.
And so you see far up amid the sky and
the clouds, and set amid the green and
purple of the trees and rocks, sculptured
upon that mountain side as if by the
band of God himself a vast white,
.gleaming cross. Those who have seen
it have told me there is no sight more
grand, beautiful, and subduing amid all
the wonders of those mountain wilds.
This is tbe name it carries, most appro
priately : The Mountain of the Holy
Cross.
When men seek a pass through those
twisted valleys, and must master steep
ridge after steep ridge, and must often
turn upon their tracks to get on at all,
and wind about, now toward this point
of the compass, and now toward that,
that by which they must travel and
which shall prevent them from getting
lost, is the great landmark of tbe coun
try. This mountain of the Holy Cross
is such a landmark most conspicuous.
Many a poor, bewildered pilgrim, catch
ing sight of those white arms stretched j
out on that mountain side, has recog- j
nized his whereabouts and pressed on j
with fresh courage and certain step to j
his journey's end. He could not be
lost now, for did it not stand right in
his vision, that unmistakable Mountain
of tbe Holy Cross ?? Wavland Hoyt,

What the Drink Doks?. A woman j
went to a saloon door, ragged and j
* CO
wretched, her thin dress hanging to
her legs with the wet, and draggled
with dirt; two children stood by her,
holding her ragged dress A man came
out. She said, 'Jem. is mv John in
there?' 'Yes. ma'am.' 'Tell him I
want to see him.' He came out. 'What
do you want V 'I want you to come
home; the fire is out, we have no can
dles, we have not a bit of bread, and j
the children are crying because they i
are hungry.' What did he do ? Shut!
his fist and struck the poor creature a fear- i
folblow in the mouth, and sent her stag- I
gering into the gutter; and shaking his
silver in his pocket, went into the j
saloon to enjoy himself again.?J. B. j
Gough.
?? ? i ? i ?i
Underlying the idea of prayer lies |
that other great fact of the possibility of!
the human soul to have intercourse {
with the Creator. This idea, too ration- j
al in itself, was not recognized in any j
of the religions of the world, until the j
revelation of God made it plain. The j
Bible is full of it from first to last, and j
the intimate relations between God and j
bis servants, of which we read that it j
existed between tbo patriarchs, Abra- j
ham, Jacob, Moses, Samuel, David, '
and many of the prophets, of this the
world knew nothing. That ever a soul
should utter its hungering and thirsting i
i
after God, in the language of the j
psalmisi; was a strange phenomenon in
religious life.?Eg. Messenger. .
I have seen such sin in the Church,
that I have o.ftej been brought by it to a j
sickly state ol mind. But when I have i
turned to the world, I have seen sin
working there in such measures and
forms, that I have turned back again to
the Church, with more wisdom of mind ]
and more affection to it. I see sin, I i
however, nowhere put in such an odious I j
appearance as in tb.g Church. I j
Comforting and Encouraging.;
There is a great deal of evil in the
human heart. The best of people of
fend and go astray, and have need of
warning and reproof. At times con
demnation and denunciation are imper
atively demanded. Human pride is to
be humbled. The impenitent are to be
warned. And the consequences of
wickedness in all its forms are to be
clearly stated. The final judgment and j
the pains of hell are not to be hidden j
from view. Of all this we have exam
ples in both the Old and New Testa- ;
ment.
But at the same time we are to keep j
in mind the infirmities and weaknesses |
to which many are subject and the |
temptations with which they are beset. !
Even among the most devout Christians
there are those who are almost continu
ally writing hard things against them
selves. Their hopes are hardly ever
bright; they go mourning all their
days. To the consolations of the gospel
amid the burdens and sorrows of life
they are well nigh strangers. The con
sequence is, that they do not magnify
the grace of God in their experiences,
and are nearly useless in Christian
work. Such as these have great need
of encouraging words and knidly atten
tions from Christians around them and
especially from pastors and elders.
Prophets, apostles, and Christ himself,
made all such the subject of peculiar
care and anxiety, seeking to comfort
them in all their sore troubles and to
encourage them to put their trust in
God and to go forward in his strength.
Even the wayward may be often re
strained and brought back by tender
solicitude, who would be driven farther
and farther away if left without being
told of Christ's love and of bis willing
ness to receive even wanderers. And
the same principle holds good with re
gard to the treatment of the impenitent.
It is not enough to show them their sin
and guilt, they must also know the way
of escape; it must be made plain to
them ; and tbey must be importuned by
the love of Christ to turn and live.
The love of God as manifested in the
gift and sacrifice of his own Son for sin
ners, must be appreheLded before they
can believe to the saving of the soul.
To bring them to the cross and lead
them to look to Christ as the bitten
Israelite looked to the brazen serpent,
demands all the encouragement that
can be given. Then it is that tender
solicitude is especially powerful.
The gospel deals with Christians as
weak and fallible mortals, having cou
tinui need of the great Physician and
also of the balm in Gilead ; while it
corrects by rebukes, it also heals by
grace. And while in the preaching of
the gospel sin is to be denounced aod
repentence made essential, yet accord
ing to the teachings of Christ and his
apostles great care is to be taken in
comforting and strengthening the weak,
as well as in inciting to# diligence, self
denial, and activity in all Christian
duties. And nothing is so effectual to
wards relieving the burdened soul,
awakening the indifferent and cheering
the desponding, as the clear and affec- [
donate presentation of Christ aod his
salvation. For nothing else does the j
pious soul so much long ; and nothing
else will give peace and joy to the un
converted heart.?Presbyterian Ban
ner.
Victory Through Faith.
Christian, take good care of thy faith ;
for recollect faith is the only way where
by thou canst obtain blessings. If we
want blessings from God, nothing can
bring down answers from God's throne
except it be the earnest prayer of the
man who believes. Faith is the angelic
messenger between the soul and the
Lord Jesus in glory. Let the angel be
withdrawn, we can neither send up
prayers nor receive answers. Faitu is
the telegraphic wire which links earth
and heaven?on which God's messages
of love fly so fast that before we call He
answers, and while we are yet speaking
He hears us. But if that telegraphic
wire be snapped, bow can we receive
the promise? Am I in trouble ? I can
obtain help from trouble through faith.
Am I beaten about by the enemy ? My
soul leans on her dear refuge by Faith.
But take faith away, in vain do I call J
on God. There is no road betwixt my
soul and heaven. In the deepest win
ter time faith is a road on which the
liprsea of prayer may travel. Ay, all
the better for the biting frost; but j
blockade the road, and how can we com
municate with the great King ? Faith
links me with Divinity; faith clothes me
with the power of God ; faith engages
on my side the omnipotence of Jehovah;
faith insures every attribute of God in
my defence ; it helps me to defy the J
hosts of hell, it makes me march trium- j
phant over the necks of my enemies. !
But without faith how can I receive j
anything of the Lord? Let not him !
who waveretb, who is like a wave of the \
sea, espect that he will recieve any
thing of God.
Oh, then, Christians, watch well thy j
faith, for with it thou must win all j
things, however poor thou art, but with
out it thou canst obtain nothing If
thou canst believe, all things are possi
ble to him that believeth.?Spurges.
Bible Thoughts.
Be still, and know that I am God.'
?Ps. xlvi. 10.
It is not easy to be still in this rough
and restless world; Yat God says, !
'Be still;' and he says also, :In return- j
ing and rest shall ye be saved ; \n quiet- j
ness and confidence shall be your i
strength/ (Isa. xxx. 15.)
1. Be still, and thou shalt know I j
can put all mine euemies to shame, j
'He that sitteth in the heavens shall !
laugh ; the Lord shall hold them in de- \
rision. Who shall contend with him j
who made the heavens and the earth Y j
He is still God.
2. Be still, and thou shall know that j
I can uphold my own truth iu a day of i
error. Is not my truth precious to mc? !
and my Book of truth, is it not above j
all books in uiiue eyes? I am God.
8. Be still, and thou shalt know that !
I can say to the nations, Peace, be still. ;
The waves rise, but lam mightier than j
all. These tumults do not touch my
throne. Take no alarm because of this
world-wide resistance to my authority
and law. I am still God.
4. Be still, and thon shalt see the !
glorious issue of all these confusions. !
This world is my world, and thou shalt.
see it to be such ; this earth shall yet
be the abode of righteousness.?Dr. \
Ubratius Boiv.tr. j
Truth is the bond of union and the !
basis of humau happiness. Without !
ibis virtue there is no reliance on Jan- j
'uage, no confidence in friendship, no
security in promises and oaths.?GolUer. 1
T T
An Unconditional Surrender.
Dr. Francis Way land said : 'When a
man becomes a member of Christ's socie
ty, by the renewing of the Holy Ghost,
he has apprehension by faith of the
sacrifice which Christ has made for his
redemption. Tbe incarnate Son of God
gave himself up without any reservation
for him, and bore his sins in his own
body on the tree. What can he do to
testify his gratitude for such love as
this ? Instinctively, he surrenders him
self, all that he has, for time and for
eternity, to his Redeemer. He yields
himself up to Christ, that be may be
wholly formed in his likeness. His
ambition henceforth is to obey every
command of Christ, and in his humble
manner do as Christ did and live as
Christ lived. The object for which
Christ lived and died and rose again is
the object for which he lives. He has
become a member of that body of which
Christ is tbe head, and the vitality
which animates the head animates the
remotest extremity. Christ dwells in
his heart by faith, a soul within his
soul, inciting him to copy the example
which he set before us when he was
manifest in the flesh. Such is the mould
into which the believer is cast.'

Gentlemen?For twenty years I have suffer
ed more or less from my bladder and Kidneys.
My business for many years had required me
to travel all over tbe-soutbern stales. Whilst
going to Texas, last fall, I saw in a paper an
advertisement of Warner's Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure. I bought a bottle, and io less
than a week the improvement in my health
was palpable. Since then, my general health
has improved wonderfully, and I now enjoy
a degree of health and strength, in every par
ticular, such as I had not hoped it porsible to
enjoy again in this world?of which I am sat
isfied, under God's blessiug, has been due to
your remedy.

IT. E. Warner <y Co., Rochester, N. Y.:
Gentlemen : For eighteen months i suffered
intensely with a disease of the kidneys and a
torpid liver, and after trying every remedy
that I could hear of, besides being under the
treatment of some of our ablest physicians. I
had about given up my case as hopelessly in
curable, when I was prevailed upon by my
wife to try your Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
I confess that I bad but little faith in its
merits or efficacy ; but to my great joy and
satisfaction, after I had commenced on the
second bottle, I continued the use of the med
icineuntil I became completely cured.

These works were established in 1847 by
Messrs. Geo. Sinclair and James Anderson and
purchased bj me in the .year 1S56, and from
that time till now carried on successfully by
myself. My friends and customers will bear
witness of the large and stupendous jobs exc
cutcd by me. It was at my works where the
largest and almost only job of its class ever ex
eciitcd in this city was done, viz: the making
of tue pipes for the City Water Works in the
year 1S5S. In the branch of
BELL FOUNDING,
I can say that I have made the largest bells
ever cast in the State, such as the bell for the
vity Hall in Columbia.
My stork of patterns for
ARCHITECTURAL WORK,

In the machine line I can furnish my pat
rons with
Steam Engines and Boilers
of any size aod description. My
CIRCULAR SAW MILLS
have carried off the prize at every State Fair
held in this city, and in their construction I
have taken pains to combine simplicity with
the most useful modern improvements, and may
flatter myself that my CIRCULAR SAW
MILLS find favor with every sawyer who un
derstands his business.
The many orders I am steadily receiving for
Sugar Cane Mills,
prove that the public appreciate the mills of my
make, and so it is with my

Is a compound of the virtuos of sarsaparil
la, stillingia. mandrake, yellow dock, with
the iodide of potash and iron, all powerful
blood-making, blood-deausing, and life-sus
taining elements. It is the purest, safest,
and most effectual alterative medicine
known or available to the public. The sci
ences of medicine and chemistry have never
produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so
potent to nire all diseases resulting from
impure blood. It cures Scrofula and
all scrofulous diseases, Erysipelas,
Rose, or St. Anthony's Fire, Pimples
and Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches,
Boils, Tumors, Tetter, Humors,
Salt Rneum, Scald-head, Ring-worm,
Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism, Mercurial
Disease, Neuralgia, Female Weak
nesses and Irregularities, Jaundice,
Affections of the Liver, Dyspepsia,
Emaciation, and General Debility.
By its searching and cleansing qualities
it purges out the foul corruptions which
contaminate the blood and cause derange
ment and decay. It stimulates and enlivens
the vital functions, promotes energy and
strength, restores and preserves health, and
infuses new life and vigor throughout the
whole system. No sufferer from any dis
ease which arises from impurity of the
blood need despair who will give Ayer's
SAKsAPAiurxA a fair trial.
It is folly to experiment with the numer
ous low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials,
and without medicinal virtues, offered as
blood-puririers, while disease becomes more
firmly seated. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is a
medicine of such concentrated curative
power, that it is by far the best, cheapest,
and most reliable blood-purifier known.
Physicians know its composition, and pre
scribe it. It has been widely used for forty
years, and has won the unqualified confi
dence of millions whom it has benefited.

"The Queen's Delight" is beginning- to
awaken the attention of our physicians. Its
remarkable curative powers are seen in its
wonderful effect upon disease. As a blood
purifier there is no medicine like it known to
the profession. A gentleman told me that his
son bad been taking the Queen's Delight, and
is more beneuted i>y it than by any other
medicine. He wants a dozen bottles."
"Dr. E. Heinitsh :?Your medicine for
Chills and Fever is a sure remedy. I have
been suffering for several months past, and
one bottle ofyour Cbill and Fever C?v.c ba
entirely cared the disease. I have oc. Lad
chill since, and I regard mv health regJto&T.

your valuable medicine as long as I continue
to improve."
Yours, Respectfully, J. L. B.
