A MOTrTKK*S GRIEF.
-
A. mother's grief, who dare intrude
Within that sacred solitude ?
She asks ao eves hut God's to know
The working of her silent woe:
His ear alone is downward beat
To listea to her sad complaint.
"Her child has left her here to monrn,
She knows be will no more retarn;
That child on whom her hopes, were 6xed
So folly that no doubts had mixed,
So future fears. No blight seemed there,
The trads ofpromise grew so fair,
J5nt all'these hopes are withered cow,
: ^he hand of death has touched that brow,
^ t.eyejj^u*m? those lips are cold,
. j&Jo^^-and words of love have told.
~ l^bl^t^reep, thy loss is# great I
_ . hoo are not desolate:
?V' Tay child has^oue to dwell above,
la that bright world where all is love,
i Dwar mourner, cast thy burdea tbere7
Jesus its heaviest weight can bear,
Hit spirit can impart relief,
Hie .ove exceeds a mother's grief,
She may forget, but Jesus, never I
Hissaiutsare Bis, now and forever:
In every stroke His band is seen
Drawing us from this passicg scene;
' Baisiag oar thoughts to joys on high,
Where alt is blest reality!
The Great Strasburg Ca
thedral.
No cathedral in tbe world has so in
teresting a history as this, it stands
.on a spot where, only five hundred
years*after Christ, a charch was built;
it was of mod walls, with a wooden sup
port. Looking at the superb chiseled
stones of the cathedral to-day, one in
voluntarily thinks of that little eartb
walfed church of Clevis, and wonders if
tbe services in it were not more ac
ceptable and single-hearted than that
sow rendered )with ail the blaze of
1 stained glass and splendor of statues
aud pillars.
It has been from first to last a luck*
less church. Almost one might have
a eaperstitous idea that tbe enterprise
had been displeasing to Cod, such
disasters have followed it from tbe be
ginning. In the tenth century it was
beamed ; earlySj^the eleventh, it was
plundered and partly burned by tbe
soldiers of an Alsacian Duke, who was
fighting Strasburg and its bishops in
cidentally , in the coarse of his squab
bles with Henry of Bavaria; five years
after this it was struck by lightning
and entirely demolished.
It was at this time that the preseo
cathedral was begun by one Bishop
Wor?ber, who must have been a shrewd
man and ingenious in having his own j
way about matters? He got all thet j
Stones he wanted brought in by the j
peasants from the country for nothing,
er one might say less than nothing, j
Sreee be paid the peasants in paper in
dulgences for their labor.
Tradition says that at one time there
were over one hundred thousand men
engaged in one way and another on
the building, and that, as they labored
with tbe religious enthusiasm peculiar
to that age, thinking they were ensur
ing the salvation of their souls, the
-work advanced very rapidly.
Before the middle of the eleventh
, however, the Bishop of Wern
went to Constantinople and died
there, and the cathedral came to a stand
still. Bishops ail had their hands too
full of strifes aud wars for the next two
centuries to spend much time or money
on cathedrals^and it fell into great
ran. In 1140,1150 and 117G, fires,
partially consumed it. In the thir
teenth century it was partially rebuilt
again ; and iu 1276 Bishop Conrad, of
Liehteoburg, took hold of the work in
good earnest.
He palisbed letters of indulgence
all over the country. Id one of these
still extant, he compared the cathedral
to *tbe flowers of May tbat bloom
iu the sun.' Who would not like to
give a small sum of money for the com- !
bined privileges of helping on so beau
tiful a work, and at the same time sin
ning safely as much as he liked for a
while?
At a great synod held this year, all
tbe clergy in Bishop Conrad's diocese
agreed to give for four years one-quar
ter of all their revenue, to be devoted j
to the cathedral. Now it was that the j
famous Master Erwin came upon the j
scene.' It is a pity we do not know the
details of the birth aud life of this great
saster-bniMer. For nearly half a cen
tury tbe cathedral was his love, life and
daily labor ; tower, after tower, column
after column, spire, pyramid, facade,
window, slowly it grew under his
bauds.
Still the evil destiny of dangers and
commotions pursued it. On the very
day of the consecration of the great
cortb tower, two workman fought for
the honor of working with the trowel
the Bfchop had used in the ceremony ;
one of them was killed on the spot, and j
the superstitious people, regarding
it as ao ill*omen, suspended all work, j
and, would not begin it again until the j
Bishop hat' reconsecrated che spot, j
Three times in thirteen years an earth- j
quake shook it violently.
In 1298, all the wood work was j
burned, and the pillars and walls in-1
jured. In 1302, all the peasants in j
Aisacia might have been seen drawing f
stones for it into Strasburg in their ,
little carts ; Bishop John, who had suc
ceeded his brother Bishop Conrad, gave j
to all who came into the city bringing
either wood or stone, free passes and
to all who worked on the cathedral,
wioe and wheat.
In 1349 the black plague swept
Strasburg; insurrections followed it, j
and fights between Bishops and Etnpe- j
rors, but still the cathedral went j
lowly on. Names of men famous in j
their generation for a turret or a spire
disappeared* from the record and were j
tost in all these tumults. Nobody j
knows to-day who made the pyramid i
and spire of the north tower, nor who j
built the steeple which formerly stood ;
above the grand rose.
In 1368 the cathedral was again !
struck by lightning; in 1384 a fire
broke out and consumed ail the inle- ;
rior except the chancel.
In 1392 the Bishop sent to Cologne j
for another great master-builder, John i
Hulis, to come and compile the great j
work ; it took him ten years to finish j
the spire. On Midsummer's Day, |
1439, in tbe presence of a vast multi- j
iude of people, be laid the last stoue, !
exactly one hundred and sixty-two years |
after Bishop Conrad had laid the first;
ston*; of it. A statue of the V trgin ]
wis set on the knob ending the j
At tbe time of tbe Reformation tbe
cathedral passed into the hands of tbe
Protestants. They closed many of the
chapels, and removed some of the
altars; bat they made no material
changes, and watched with great care
over the superb building. It had no
better luck, however, in their hands
than in the hands of the original build
ers. Between the years of 1540 and
1625 it was five times struck by light
ning aud set on fire. In 1654 the spire
^was entirely destroyed by lightning and
rebuilt.
~Io 16S1 it passed back into the
hands of the Catholics again, and they
immediately began repairing it in the
wretched rococo style then prevailing, of
tawdry wood carvings, gilded and paint
jed.
j In 1728 'as if to punish those who
were thus spoiling this wonderful mon
utnent,' says one record, an earthquake
shook it; in 1759 it was again struck
by lightning and very much injured.
j The lead on the roof of the nave was
j entirely melted, and the fine cnpolo was
not rebuilt.
[ In the furious revolutions of 1793
i new destructions took place in the ill
starred cathedral. The crazy Jaco
| bins tore down two hundred and thir
ty-four statutes of saints and kings, and
destroyed them. Teterel went so far
as to propose pulling down the spire,
because be said that its height, extend
ing so much above that of all common
houses, was a direct violation of the
noble principle of equality.
Fortunately all the Jacobins were
not so mad as he ; and he was obliged
to content himself with having a huge
Liberty cap made of tin, painted
fiery red and placed on the top of the
spire. This was to be seen among
other curiosities in tbe Strasburg Li
Draryv before its-destruction.
In 1870 came the last time of disas
ter for the cathedral. When Stras
burg was in siege, the Germans tried
to force the surrender by a constant
bombardment of the inner towns. For
seven weeks a rain of shot and shells
poured on the city. That the cathedral
was not utterly ruined seems a miracle.
It was several times set on fire and the
stone ornaments on its front and its
sides were shattered off. Finally the
roof become so prefof ated by shells that
the copper began to melt, aud then
nothing could be done to save it. This
was on the nigth of the 25th of August.
Towards midnight the whole roof blaz
ed up, leaping pyramids of fiame over
topping tbe pyramid of the spire, and
blotting it out from sight. In the morn
ing the floor of 4he cathedral was cov
ered with black and smoking ruins, and
the only roof over the nave was the
biue sky. #
Immediately on the entrance of the
Germans into the re-cooquered town,
the work of restoration was begun, and
now there are few traces of the injuries
to be seen beyond the exterior deface
ment of the stone ornaments. What
will be tbe next disaster to tbe noble
building remains to be seen.
The most impressive thing in tbe
view of this cathedral is tbe nave. It
is supported on each side by seven huge
pillars composed of round columns weld
ed together. It is mysteriously lighted
and illuminated by tiers of magnificent
painted glass windows, representing
Scripture and legendary subjects.
Over the principal porch is a superb
round window, which blazes with colors
as if a very Golconda had been lavish
ed on it.
When I entered tbe cathedral the sun
was near setting, and already a dusky j j
twilight obscured tbe aisles, but all {
that we lost in way of distinct views of
details we gained in the magnificent ef- j
feet of this great wheel of transparent
jewels framed in darkness.
The great shining window seemed
poised in space, rather than set in a ; -
wall. It was lifted at once, by this j 1
delicious gloom, out of tbe plane of de- j ^
coration, and seemed to take place as j
much a part of the order of nature as it \
it bad not been a colossal planet of rain- i
bow hues, suddenly revealed iu a mid- j
night sky. j J
In the centre glowed a topaz rose ;
around this a space of solid black ; then j S
Sue lines of silvery gold and light j C
gray; then a circle of brilliant blue ; j!'
then divergent rays of orange aud j
scarlet and gold, all biendiog together j
in a sort of topaz yellow ; round drops
of sapphire-blue where these rays
ended in eincrald-green and then a row
of topaz-roses on drab ground, com
pleting the outer circle of this marvel
ous window.
Below it. a belt of twelve narrow
windows a?! having the general effect of
topaz mottled with gay colors.
It was a sight never to be forgotten,
and a sight that could not be seen ex
cept when it was too dark to see the j
rest of the cathedral well.?By U If. 1

Forever.
If we come to the words of duration, I
the cumulative evidence is marked. Iu j
six passages the 'forever' is the specific j
phrase of the standard Greek writers to i
represent limitless duration, aud traus
lated into Latin by in et er num. 'In the |
fifty-seven instances where this word is j
used in the New Testament thirty-sis i
refer to God and Christ, ten to the i
blessedness of the righteous, and t-ix to j
the punishment of the wicked.' Six or j
seven times the punishment is called
'eternal.' This Greek adjective is used
fifty one times to describe the duratiou j
of the happiness of the saved, and is I
a!soapplied to God's glory. This use!
of such terms of settled meaning has a j
force that cannot be broken.?Rich- r j

When Macaulay was about four years i
old be was taken by bis father to call |
upon Lady Waldegrave, at Strawberry j:
Hill, and there an awkward servant
spilt soi e hot eofiee over his legs.? | 1
The hosl^-.s was very sorry indeed, i
and after awhile asked him if he felt
any better. I
"Thank you, madam,"said the smull j
gentleaiau, "tbe agony is abated."
Children need not use words so quaint , i
as those which were quite natural to j
young Macaulay, but should try to have \
equal politeness.?Ex.

Disease is an effect, not a cause. Iis origin
is within : its manifestations without. Hf lcc,
to cure the the disease the cause must, be re
moved, ?nd in no other way can a cute ever
be effected. WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY
AND LIVER CURE is established on just
this principle. Ii realizes that
95 Per Cent.
of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys
and liver, and it strikes at one4 at the root of
the difficulty. The elements of which it is
composed act directly upon those great organs,
both as a food and restorer, and, by placing
theui in a healthy condition, drive disease
and pain from the system.
For the innumerable troubles caused by un
healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs;
for the distiessing Disorders of Women ; for
Malaria, and for physical derangements gen
erally, this great remedy has no equal. Be
