Affliction not a Misfortune.

Death among those we know, and some
of whom we regard and esteem, and sick
ness Of those we love forcibly reminds us
of the many ills 10 which flesh is heir,
and of the sad fate of those who know no
consolation and cannot meet misfortune
with that estimate Of life and its use which
disarms them of half their affective power.
There is more true courage, more forli-
tude displayed in Drawing ihe ills and bear
ing the sorrows Of ordinary life, than ar
mics ever witness or hospital records re-
count. Disappointed hopes, unforeseen
and inevitaqe mislortunes in business, OF
calamities in the domestic circle--aQy o
those try a true man more than all he
himself alone might suffer. He is more
viriuous who cares most for others and
less for himself-hence The better man,
however brave and enduring, the more
he must suffer. But there are few misfor.
tunes in which or in their effects brigh!
side may moi be seen.
There are calamities which are greater
than the death of loved ono, but we are
wont to estimate that AS the most terrible
that can atflict us. Even the very love
for the dead which constitutes the source
Of our misery in bereavement is blessing
OF untold worth. A cotemporary, refer
ring to his love, beautifully remarks, "to
have laid slroug affection down among
the dead, may he great sorrow, but it is
not real misfortune. Whatever ones af;
tergoings may be, there is a deposit TO-
the future life, stake in a better country
part of the heart which the grave keeps
holy in spite Of the evil which is in the
world The living may change to us Of
we to them; sin may divide, strife may
come between US, but through all times
and fortunes the dead remain the same tC
our memories and our love. The chic
taken from us long ago is still the limo
cent lamb that it was for our holding
The early lost friend or lover is still th,
blessing OF youth, hope not to be with
cred, promise not to be broken, pos
session wherein there is no disappoint
ment."

seeks advice and wont follow it, they com

nose is said to be "a lighthouse, warning us

A O. aker's Opinion of Church Or
gan

The following anecdote is vouched for
as fact by llarper's Magazine:
The society OF Friends, as is well known,
are among the most upright and worthy
OF the Christian sects. Their mode OF pub
lie worship is plain and simple. Dives.
ted Of all forms and ceremonies, they pro-
fess to serve God in spirit and In truth;
sometimes in silence, at other times by
exhortation or preaching by some one
who feels impelled to address them. -.-
Thomas Coles--more famiiarly known
from his great amiability and good nature
as Tommy Coles q consistent mem
her Of this society. AT the delightful vii.
lage of Glen Cove, Long Island, where
he resided, the Episcopal Congregation
had just erected in their church very
sweet toned organ, which was the admi.
ration not only Of the members, but OF
many others who were attracted to the
service by the eloquence Of the Rev. Mr..
Mallably, the rector. On some particu-
lar occasion our venerable friend, Tom
my Coles, TO seat among the congrega-
tion, and his opinion Of the organ was
gathered from the following conversation
a few days afterwards:
"Friend, Mallably, am pleased that
thee has got such a fine organ in thy
church,
But" said the clergyman, "I thor
you were opposed 20 having an organ in
the church"

"but' then, if thee will worship the Lord
by machinery, | would like thee to have

LOVED AND GoNE.-What littlo things
scrvo TO remind US of tho loved and LOST |!
vacant chair, pair of little shoes, a sin-
gle stocking, or a chIld's p!aythng, have
stories all of them, aud make the heart
grow soft with sorrow. A mother whose
little boy is dead, says; "Out of doors the
children are being happy with their sleds,
and how thoy rejoice that the winter is here
In tho wood-shed hangs my boys sled
though he will not need it any moro, |
thought as looked at it, how he was wish
ing for snow aud, now it has como ho is
gone =" Sacred is the little slod now.
Every time she looks at it sho thinks of her
boy. 1t is mute reminder of tho little
one that is dead hanging up by a string
just as he loft it, it is a something left be-
hind TO keep his memory green. A strange
pleasure, that she was blessed with bis
presence once, and sorrow that be is gone,
minglu together while she looks at it tho
past is dream and the present, sad reality;
but tho future is bright with hopo.-.N. C

EE Good men never make anything
by treating rascals as equals. A con-
scious william who is treated as an equal
by an honest man who is conscious of his
vilIiany, recognizes the man at once as a
coward, and treats him accordingly
Treated as an inferior, bad man becomes
polite, at once. or plays de6antly the
bully and the blackguard that he is. We
may 60 the world over without finding
any man who in his own soul, knows his
place so well as very bad man and
there is no way of securing his respect SO
easily as by giving him to understand
that he is understood, and appreciated al
his trne value.-7ImOthy 1Stcon,6.

November sky. At the same time ] detected
a slight noise at the door, as if some one was
cautiously trying to enter. But as the key
was turned, the attempt was in vain; and l
presently heard the same noise at the door of
the adjoining dressing room. Listening in
tently, | became aware of a slight creak at the
door Of communication between the two
rooms. This was followed, not by foOtstep,
but by the hushed, rustling sound of a long
dress trailing upon the floor. The sound
marched slowly across the room, and APP
preached the bedside, where it stopped Then
the gentlest touch-as, indeed of airy fingers
drew the bed-clotheS straight, and tucked
the ends of the coyerlids and sheets into the
space between the mattress and bedstead
Meanwhile, lay perfectly still, in passive
state Of surprise and wonder.
w hen, however, the gentle ministry ceased,
and again caught the rustic of the trailing
dress on the carpet, L sprang bolt upright in
bed, and peered into the gloom, in hope of see
ing the figure. But the room was a gulf of
darkness, except the bit of window not cover
ed by the cedars; and by this time the rustic
had reached the dressing room door. In few
seconds more it had passed away completely
and after exhausting myself in speculations as
to the character Of the visit, slept. On men
tloning the incident at breakfast, | found that
none of the guests had been disturbed nor
could learn that anything of the kind had
previously happened in the house, although
one gentleman affirmed that the old mansion,
which was pulled down by Lord r before
building the present one, had the reputation OF
being haunted.-N. ]. Mercury.

One more incident of more decided chaTac-
ter closes the list of my experiences During
my last visit to London, accepted an invita-
ton to pass two or three days with banker,
who occupies fine estate on the Thames, near
Windsor The house---which was a palace
in its extent and the character of its appoint
ments-was built by a former Earl of I
who ruined himself in erecting it, Gardens,
graperies, and a noble path, stretching along
the bank Of the Thames, completed the attlac-
tons of one of the loyeliest places in England.
When the hour for rest arrived, was conduct.
ed to a chamber leading toward the lowered
entrance, and group of magnificent ccdars of
Lebanon, on the lawn. The night was misty
and moonless--so that, after / had extinguish-
ed my candle, the room remained in almost
complete darkness.
1t was midnight when went to bed and
had slept, suppose, until somewhere between
two or three, when ] suddenly awoke, and to
my surprise, found that my candle was still
burning. My first idea was that had forgot
ten to extinguish it, Closing my eyes while
revolving this question in my mind, opened
them again upon room darkened as before

dim tops Of the cedars rising against the dim
