Meeting a Sermon.

Archdeacon Leighton, returning home one
morning. was asked by his sister, have you
been hearing a sermon p 81 have met
sermon" was the answer. The sermon he had
met was corpse on It's way to the grave; the
preacher was Death. Greatest of street preach
ers No laws nor penalties can silence him.
No tramp of horses, nor rafting Of carriages,
nor rush and din of crowded streets, drown his
voice. In heather, Papal and Protestant coun-
tries in monarchies and free States, in town and
country, the solemn pomp of his discourse Is
ever going on. In some countries man Is
imprisoned for even dropping tract. But
what prison will hold this awful preacher What
chains will bind him He lifts up his vioce in
the very presence of tyrants, and laughs at their
threats. He walks unobstructed, through the
midst of their guards, and delivers those messa-
ges which trouble their security and embtter their
pleasures. IF we do not meet his sermons still
we cannot escape them. he comes to our
abodes, and, taking the dearest objects Of our
love as his text, what terrible sermon does ne
deliver to us o what weeping audience some
times has this silent preacher Yet there is q
secret doctrine, an occult meaning, running
through his discourses, which is often not appre-
hended. Few lay it to heart" His oft re-
peated sermons still enforce the same doctrine,
press upon us the same exhortation. Surely,
they are disquieted in vain. Here there is no
continuing city. Why are you laboring for
that which I win presently take from you and
give to another? Take no thought for the
morrow Prepare to meet thy God !"

Home.

Home that synonym for the sweetest sane
titles how it fails upon the heart of the home
ward streaming crowd That fixed boundary
of peace their society cannot encroaeh upon,
where we can look calmly out upon the froWn
of the world, and our perplexed spirit md ln1
SEPARATIONS of strength and space for rest
Home where gentle memories steal upon us
with shadows of the twilight, and forever tapes
try the walls while the voice of the music IS
hnshed. and each sopI within the silent circle
catches nearer glimpse of heaven, dearer
view of sweet forms and faces gone before
Happy are those who can turn from the festive
eaieties of the world, and meet outstretched
arms and loving hearts in whose affection there
is no decay and no deceit" at home 7" With
eyes of hope and fearful rapture we look for
ward to our arrival at home. And when our
vital lamp burns low, and the golden bowl begins
to shudder, and the silver cord to untwine, let
our look be upon the face we best lovet CAs
let us die at Home ~

Considerable Of a Bargain

It was hard to catch Old Jack Jones " in a
place too tight for him to get out. The follow
ing occurred recently at Cedartown Court.
There had been hard frost the night before,
and some of the knowing ones prophesied an
entire failure of the wheat crop.

"that I'll take one hundred dollars for"

Sea Grandeur.

There is peculiar charm about the sea it is
always the same, but never monotonous. Mr.
Gosse has well observed that you get tired of
looking at the loveliest field, but never at the
rolling waves The serect perhaps, is that the
field does not seem alive the sea is life una
bounding Profoundly mysterious as the field
is with it's countless forms Of life, the aspect
does not irresistably and at once coerce the mind
to think of subjects so mysterious and SO awful
as the sea does-t carries with it no ineradica-
BILE associations of terror and awe, such as are
borne in every murmur of old ocean, and thus is
neither so terrible nor so suggestive. AS we
look from the cliffs, every wave has its history,
every swell keeps us in suspense it will break
now, or will it melt into that large wave? And
then the log which floats so aimlessly along its
bank, and now is carried under again like drown
ing wretch-it is the fragment of some ship
which has struck miles and miles away, far from
help and all pity, unseen except of-Heaven and
no messenger of its agony to earth except this
log which floats so buoyantly on the tide
We may weave some such tragic story as we
idly watch the fuctuating advance of the dark
log; but whatever we weave. the story will not
be wholly tragic, for the beauty and serenity of
the scene are sure to assert their influences. O,
mighty and unfathomable sea Q terrible fam
liar O grand and mysterious passion In
thy gentleness thou art terrible, when sleep
smiles on thy scarcely quiet heaving breast in
thy wrath and thunder thou art beautiful By
the light of rising or Of setting suns, in grey
dawn or garish day. in twilight or in suhsn storms
of darkness, ever and everywhere beautiful; the
poets have sung of thee, the painters have pain
ted thee-but neither the song Of the poet nor
the cunning Of the painters hand has more than
caught faint refexes of thy incommunicable
grandeur and loveliness inexhaustable.

Do1NG A YANKEE. Sir Allen McNab was
once travelling by steamer, and as luck would
have it, was obliged to occupy state-room
with full-blooded Yankee. In the morning,
while Sir Allen was dressing, he beheld his
companion making thorough researches into his
(sir Allen's) dressing case. Having completed
his examination, he proceeded coolly to select
the toothbrush, and Herewith to bestow on his
long, yellow fangs an energetic scrubbing. Sir
Allen said not word. When Jonathan had
concluded the old Scotchman gravely set the
basin on the floor, soaped one foot well, and
taking the brush, applied it vigorously to his
toes and toe-nails. you dirty fellow" ex-
claimed the astonished Yankee, "what the mis-
chief are you doing that for ?" Oh" said Sir
Allen, ,coolly, that's the brush I always do
that with"

While the fre-fies golden CLEAN,

Hark the evening chime is ringing,
From the belfry grey and olden;
Like magic upspringing,
Tinted dome and window golden, n
In the summit sunset glowing
And DER all, those soft tones flowing.
Out into the silent meadows,
Dewy sweet with blooming clover
With the moonlight and the shadows
And the blue night srching over;
All this eve, my soul is roaming
Seeking one amid the cleaning.
Could rest among the roses,
With their sweet breath floating DER me
Each in its green bower reposes,
While its sweet face before me,
With its dewy lips is calling,
Where the faietest light is falling.
Holy holy holy holy"
Sweet the lips signing,
And among the shadows lowly,
Softly my lips replying
'Show me Highland leave never
