There was a great rush for Huston Hall, las,
night, to witness the annual exhibition Of the
pupils Of the Central High School BY ~
O'Clock every available foot Of space In the
Hall was occupied, and still the people came
pouring along, until the stairways and entrance
to the building were thronged and ainmed with
human beings, and hundreds yet remained on
the side walks, unable to gain an entrance 10
the approaches Of the Hall,
The City Council, having received a special
Invitation to attend the exhibition, adjourned
at 8 o clock, and repaired In body TO the Hall,
but their body was very much broken aud scat
tired before they gained admission wilhin.-
These annual exhibitions Of tho schools. are
source Of pride, pleasure and profit, not only 10
the pupils themselves, but to our citizens gen.
orally, and hence hundreds look forward to
them with feelings Of no ordinary character.

TIE CHRISTIANS HOPE.
ny HENRY J. II. LEMCKE.

Earth is the sphere of the Christians
pilgrimage, eternity his home. His soul
dlsdains to rest its heaven-aspiring wings
beneath the place Of lis nativity. Amid
the mutations OF nature it is borne irresis-
tbly toward future and better world.
The most interesting and momentous sub
iecI that occupies The attention Of the
Christian, is his future destiny. Itex
Ceeds in importance the concerns of this
life, as far as eternal ages exceed the fleet
lug periods of time. He tirmly believes
that he is destined for eternity. The ev-
i1ences of this truth are found in the
christian revelation which has brought
"life and Immortality to ight," and thrown
a radiance on the scenes beyond the grave.
The hope of his immortal existence
stamps vanity upon all the things of time,
and pants for tie place of lis ccleslia
hHlh, His mind is not satisfied with the
things OF Tine and sense. but is forever
IN search of nohler requirements. and II

es the enemies OF his soul who constantly
impede his progress in the divine life. Al
though lie is often chained to earth by the
allurements OF The world, yet by the pow
er Of the Holy Spirit, lie bursts the CALLING
letters of sin. destroys the corruption in
his heart and makes it submissive 10 the
will of God. Since death is certain and
unavoidable, and its consequences are OF
eternal importance, the Christians main
concern in life is, to be prepared TO die, 10
die in safety, TO die in peace, and with The
joyful wei. founded hope of eternal lie.
lie rests assured that when his corpOreal
frame shall sink into the grave and be re.
solved into its primitive elements. his
soul, being without offence toward God
and man, shall he arrayed in white robes
washed in the Redeemer's blood, and be
allowed to enter the land Of pure delight
/ Nothing can deprive him Of the consoIa'
ton that he shall he vested with gIorlh,
ed body which will resist the cOrrodIng
tooth of eternal ages.
"The stars shall fade away, the sun himself
Grow dim with age, and Nature sink in years ;
But the Christian shall Flourish in immortal
youth,
Unhurt, amidst the war Of elements,
The wreck Of matter and the crush OF worlds" "
The termination Of his earthly pilgrim
age will be succeeded by a stale of eler-
nal happiness. Earh's limits are TOO
narrow 10 contain his soul imPassloned
with the longings Of the realities of anoth'
er and a better world.
Death is the Christians deIiverance

Reveals heaven to come;
