der to become perfect Christan-not to do it by
halves-make an open confession thereof
Myself-Loving the Lord Jesus Christ, and
living according to his commandments, are, ac-
cordng to our belief, the essentials of the Chris
tianl
The Pope-Very good. will tell you some
thing. Prayl pray for light from the Lord; for
grace to acknowledge the truth-because this is
the only means of attaining to it, Controversy
will do no good. In controversy is pride and
self-love. People in controversy make parade
of their knowledge, of their acuteness, and, after
all, every one continues to hold his own views
Prayer alone gives light and strength for the ac
quirements of the truth and of grace. Pray every
day, every night before you go to rest, and hope
that grace and light may be given to you; for
God wishes that we should humble ourselves, and
He gives His grace to the humble. And now,
God bless and keep you, for time and eternityl
This pure priestly and fatherly admonition was
so beautifully and fervently expressed that it
went to my heart, and humbly, and with my heart,
| kissed the hand paternally extended toward me.
That it was the hand of the Pope did not embar-
rass me in the slightest degree, for he to me,
really, at this moment, the representative of the
Teacher, who, in life and doctrine, preached hui
milty, not before men, but before God, and taught
mankind to pray to him. The Pope's words were
entirely true and evangelical. / thanked him
from my entire heart, and departed more satisfied
with him than with myself / had stood before
him in my Protestant pride; he had listened with
patience, replied with kindness and finally ex-
horted me, not with papal arrogance but as a true
gospel teacher. parted from him with more
humility of spirit than had come
The Pope conversed with me in French, with
facility and accuracy. His manner of speaking is
lively and natural, as one who allows himself to
converse without restraint.

A supernatural Premonition.

/ was running a night express train, and had
train of ten cars-eight passenger and two bag
gage cars-aDd all we're well loaded. / was be
hind time, and was very anxious to make GER
tain point thus was using every exertion, and
putting the engine to the utmost speed of which
she was capable. / was on a section of the road
usually considered the best running ground on
the line, and was endeavoring to make the
most of it, when a conviction struck me that
must stop.
A something seemed tie tell me that to go
ahead was dangerous, and that | must stop if
would save life. looked back at my train and
il was all right. | strained my ewes and peered
into the darkness, and could see no signal of
danger, nor anything betokening danger, and
there / could see five miles in the day time,
listened to the workings of my engine, tried the
water, looked at the guage, and all was right.
tried to laugh myself out of what then consid-
cred childish fear, but. like Banquo's ghost, it
would not down at my bidding, but grew stronger
in its hold upon me.
| thought of the ridicule would have heaped
upon me if did stop, but it all of no avail.
The conviction-for by this time it had ripened
into a conviction-that must stop grew stronger;
and shut off and blew the whistle for breakers
accordingly. / came to dead halt, got off, and
went ahead little way, without saying anything
to anybody what the matter was. / had a lamp
in my hand, and had gone about sixty feet, when
l saw what convinced me tnat premcnltlons are
sometimes possible. / dropped the lantern from
my nerveless grasp, and sat down on the track,
utterly unable to stand; for there was a switch,
the thought of which had never entered my mind,
as it had never been used since had been on the
road, and was known - be spiked, but was open
to lead me off the track. The switch led into a
stone quarry, from whence stone for bridge pur-
poses had been quarried. and the switch was left
there in case stone should be needed at any time;
but it was always locked, and the switch rail
spiked.
Yet here it was, wide open; and, had not
obeyed my premonition, warning-call it what
you will should have run into it, and at the
end of the track only about ten rods long, my
heavy engine and train, moving at the rate OF
thirty miles per hour, would have come into col
lsion with a solid wall of rock, eighteen feet
high. The consequences, had l doue so, can
neither be imagined nor described; but they could
by no possibility, have been otherwise than ia
tally horrid. This is my experience in getting
warnings from a source that know not. and can
not divine. 1t is a mystery to me; a mystery for
which am very thankful, however, although !
dare not attempt to explain it, nor say whence il
came.

1t needs not that the tension of mans nerves
should have been strung tight by the hands of
battle, for him to know from his own experience
what is the strange, and awful, and weird feeling
of the first relaxation of them in the early after
hours of responsibility danger or important crisis
of decision. If apparitions and visions of things
unearthly be indeed mere fctiOns of mems brain,
such after-hours are just those wherein the mind
is readiest to yield to the power of illusion.
Illusion or reality more startling, more unac-
countable by far than it? Whether of the two was
this?

Down Hill-A Life Picture.

Not long since, | had occasion to visit one of
our courts, and while conversing with legal
friend, | heard the name of John Anderson
called.
There is a hard case" remarked my friend
looked upon the man in the prisoners dock
He was standing up, and plead guilty to the
crime of theft. He was tall man, but bent and
infrm, though not old. His garb was torn, sparse
and filthy; his face was all bloated and bloodshot
his hair matted with dirt, and his bowed form
quivered with delrium. Certainly, never saw
a more pitiable object. Surely, that man was not
born a william. l moved my place to obtain
farer view of his face. He saw my movement
and he turned his head. He gazed upon me
single instant, and then, covering his face with
his hands, sank powerless into his seat. GOOD
God p' involuntarily calculated, starting for
ward, "Will"-
| had half spoken his name, when he quickly
raised his head, and cast upon me a look of such
such imploring agony that my tongue was tied at
once. Then he covered his face with his hands
again. 1 asked my legal companion if the pris-
oner had counsel. He said no. | then told him
to do all in his power for the poor fellows benefit,
and l would pay him. He promised, and / left.
/ could not remain and see that man tried. Tears
came TO my eyes as gazed upon him. and it was
not until / gained the street and walked some
distance, that could breathe freely.

known as his mothers son. That was not his
real name; but you shall know him by no other.

records of the court.

At period of unusual suffering she sold all
her jewels, having first caused them to be faith
fully initiated, and wore for year, unsuspected,
mosaic gold and paste diamonds, until she was
at lengths able to supply their place with genuine
ornaments.
When complaints of her parsimony were made
by grasping courtiers, she would reply:

1t would have been considered by many a sore
trial to be compelled to receive daughter-in-law
the child of a man who had driven a father from
his throne but Mary did not visit the sins of the
father upon the child. She treated the daughter
of Augustus, of Poland, with the utmost kind
ness, and repaid by her dutiful affection. Th.
Queens greatest sorrow was in the loss of her
children. Six were taken from her in succession.
The death of the dauphin, her only surviving son,
was the last fatal blow. She uttered COM

could not help saying to her medical attend
ants:
"If you would cure me, you must give me
back my children"
"The lamentations of nation followed her to
the grave" We are told. That her virtues were
soon forgotten, while the people remembered only
their grievous wrongs, was not strange. There
