midnight to the ears of a drowsy and
weary man 1t is error.
But we say in all frankness and af-
ter the most mature deliberation and
endurance Of wrong, which has tried
to the utmost our spirit of Christian
forbearance, that those two leading
cats are in danger, and we warn all
who have any interest in them, either
present or expectancy, to look to them.
We have been compelled to watch for
hours, when in justice to ourselves, we
should have been asleep. We have
heard the clock strike eleven, twelve,
one, two, and sometimes three at inter-
walls in their performances, and have
been tempted to the use Of words not
found in any orthodox religious work
or any standard sermons of the day.
In view of all these grievances wo
submit the only remedy, which is
either To move ourselves or move the
cats. We have been domicilled in our
present quarters more than year I;
we have become used to them; we
like ths house and the people of the
house; pay our board bills promptly,
and have good understanding with
our landlord, and he does not care to
have us move. Our wife does not
want to move, we do not want to move
and we shall not move, and therefore
those cats must adjourn to other quar-
ters, secure some other place for their
prize fights or there'll be trouble. We
possess double barrelled gun that
has brought down many a squirrel,
partridge, quailand woodccck we have
owned it nearly quarter of a century
and know its capabilities, and if the
thing continues we give it as our opin-
ion that SOMEBODY'S cat will go homo
some night feeling very sick or posi-
bly, not go home at all. If such q
thing should happen we must be held
harmless for we have right to use
all human means to free ourselves
from an affliction that keeps us awake
at nights, makes US irritable during
the day and subjects us to the tempta-
ton of breaking the scriptural injuno-
ton, "Swear not at all" We have
exhausted all the persuasion that lay
in nearly four cords of wood and about
a ton of coal without avail, and now
we are going back to the old and sure
romedy of powder and shot, and if
anybody hears the report of firearms
at midnight, letthem not suppose there
is a murder being done or that burg
lars are around, as most likely it will
only be somebody experimenting upon
the cats aforesaid.

GERMS OF SACRED PoETRY. "A YER
sion Of the Psalms of David was pub
lished in 1912, by William SIatyer, of
which the following is specimen:
The righteous shall his sorrow scan
And laugh at him and say "BeholdI
What hath become Of this hore man
That on his riches was 90 bold Z"
In the reign of Edward vi, DIR.
Christopher Tye turned the acts of the
Apostles into rhyme. They begin
thus.
In the former spistIs unto thee,
Dear friend 1hssphilus,
have written the aertis
or the Lord Christ Jesus.
A version Of the Psalms, made in
1864 by Archbishop Parker, has the
following:
Who sticketh TO God In stable trust
Az Sicn's mount he stands full just,
Which moveth no whit, nor yet can reel,
But standeth forever as stif a. steel
A part of the 18th Psalm runs
thus: eff I forget thee, o Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget her cunning
and my tongue cleve to the roof of my
mouth"
This beautiful passage is thus para
phrased in Archbishop Parker's YER
sion:
II I forgot the ever.
Then let me prosper never,
But let it cause
My tongue and jaws
To cling and clcave together.
EPIeRAx.-Parson b., who was a
very dull sermonizer, once preached
from the text "Watch and Pray" &C.,
on which occasion a wag Of hearer
perpetrated the following
By the preacher perplexed
How shall we determine
"Watoh and pray" says the text
''Go to sleep" says tho sermon.
The following cure for cold has
been on record since 1880:
Putte your fseto in hot water
Az high as your thghes;
Wrappo your head up in fannells
As low as your eyes;
Take quart Of rum'd grulle,
Whom in bed, as q dose
With number four dippe
Well tallow your nose.

nj wH. CULLEN BRYANT.
Every wedding, says the proverb,
Makes another, soon or lsts, i'r
Never yet was any marriage III .f
Entered In the book Of Fate,
But the names we're also written
or the patient pair that wait.
Blessing, then, upon the morning
When my friend, with fondest look,
BY the solemn rites permission,
To himself his mistress took,
And the destinies recorded
Other two within the book.
While the priest fulfilled his Office
Still the ground the lovers eyed,
And the parents and the kinsmen,
Aimed their glances 1t the bride,
But the groomsman eyed the virgins
Whs we're waiting at her side.
Three there were who stood beside her,
0us was dark and one was fair,
But not fair nor dark the other,
Save her Arab eyes and hair;
Neither dark nor fair call her,
Yet she Was the fairest there.
While her groomsman-shall own il
Yes, TO thee and only thee--
Gaxed upon this dark-eyed maiden
Who was fairest Of the three.
Thus he thought, :liow blest the bridal
Where the bride were such as she u
Then mused upon the adage,
Till m, wisdom was perplexed,
And / wandered AZ the churchman
Dwslt upon his holy text
Which Of all who heard his lesson
Should require his service next.
Whose will be the next occasion
For the fewers, the feast, the wine
Thine, psrchauce, my dearest lady.
Or. who knows Tit may be mine;
What II 'twsre-forgive the fancy
What If 'twere-both mine and thine

How NEAR WE ARE TO DEATH.-A
writer in the Indepeudant thus discours-
es on our nearness to death: When
we walk near powerful machinery, we
know that ono single misstcp of those
mighty engines would tear us to rib
bons with their flying wheels, or grind
us to powder i'll their pondcrous jaws.
SO, whom we are laundering across
the land in rail car, and there is
nothing but half an inch of flangc iron
to hold us on the track. So when we
are at sea in ship, and there is moth
ing but the thickness Of plank be-
tween us and eternity. We imagine
then that we see how close we are 10
the edge of the precipice. But we do
not see it. Whether on the sea or
land, the partition which divides us
from eternity is something thinner
than an oak plank or half an inch of
flangc iron. The machinery of life
and death is within us. The tissues
that hold these beating powers in
their place are often rot thicker than
a sheet of paper, and if that thin par
tition we're pierced or ruptured, it
would be just the same with us. Death
is inseparably bound up with life in
the very structure Of our bodies
Struggle rs he will to widen the space
no man can at any time 60 further
from death than the thickness of q
sheet Of paper.

The RIGHT Sort OF REIIGIoS.-Some
one whose head is unusually "lcvel, v
has written out his ideas of religion
as follows. 1t will do to read and
think about:
We want a religion that goes into
the family, and keeps the husband
from being spiteful when the dinner is
late; keeps the wife from being fretful
when the husband tracks the newly
washed floor with his muddy boots,
and makes the husband mindful OF
the scraper and door mat; amuses the
children as well as instruots them
wins as well as governs them projects
the honey moon into the harvest moon,
and makes the happy hours like the
Eastern fig tree, bearing in its bosom
ct once the beauty of the tender bios
som and the glory Of the ripened fruit.
We want q religion that bears not
only on the sinfulness of sin, but on
the rascality Of lying and stealing I; a
religion that banishes oil small mea-
sures from the counters, small baskets
from the stalls, pebbles from the cot
ton bags, clay from paper, sand from
sugar, chickory from coffee, beet root
from vinegar, alum from bread, lard
from butter, strychnine from wine,
and water from milk cans.
The religion that is TO advance the
world will not put all the big straw
berries and peaches at the top, and the
bad ones at the bottom. 1t will not
offer moro baskets of foreign wines
than the vineyards ever produced bot
ties.
The religion that is to sanctify the
world pays its debts. Itdoes not con-
slider forty cents returned for one hun
dred given, is according to gospel,
though it is according to law. II
looks on man who has failed in trade,
and who continues TO live in luxury,
as thief. 1t looks on man who
promises to pay fifty dollars ON demand
with interest, and who neglects to pay
it on demand, with or without inter-
est, as liar.

CARRYING A THING THROUGH

Carrying thing through. That S
it; don't do anything else. If you
once fairly, soundly, wideawakely be-
gin thing, let it be carried through
if it costs you your best comfort, time,
energies, and all that you can COM
mand. We heartily abominate this
turning backward, this wearying and
fainting of soul and purpose. 1t be-
speaks imbecility of mind, want of
character, courage, true manliness.
Garry thing through. Don't
begin it till you are fully prepared for
its accomplishment. Think, study /;
dig till you know your ground, see
your way. This done, launch out
with all your soul, heart, life, and fire,
neither turning to right or left. Push
on giantly-push as though you were
born for the very work you are about
beginning; as though creation had
been waiting through all time for your
especial hand and spirit. Then you'll
do something worthy of yourself and
kind.
Carry thing through. Don't leap
and daily from one thing to another.
No man ever did anything in that way.
You cannot. BE strong minded. Be
pluckish, patient and consistent. BE
hopeful stern and manly. When
once fairly in work don't give it up.
Don't disgrace yourself by being on
this thing to-day, on that tomorrow,
and on another next day. We don't
care if you are the most active mortal
living; we don't care if you labor day
and night, in season and out, DO sure
the end Of your life viii show nothing
if you perpetually change from object
to object. Fortune, success, fame,
position are never gained but by pious-
iy, determinedly, bravely sticking,
growing, living to a thing till it is
fairly accomplished.

Doing Good.

THERE is nothing makes earth so much
like heaven as doing good. Jesus left
the joys and alteration of heaven to come
down and show what the spirit of heav-
en- was and what was it? He went
about doing good and turned away from
no case that appealed to his humanity.
When they crowded around him in the
wilderness, he magnified few loaves,
and fed thousands. The leper came
and was cleansed. His delight was in
ministering TO the wants of the poor
and needy. Nay, if we may be allowed
to speak of the upper sanctuary, God
( himself is gratified to stand in the atti-
tude of infinite benevolence, and shows
his creatures that he delights in doing
good.

Luther's Devotion.

One of Melancthon's correspondents
describes Luther thus: II cannot enough
admire the extraordinary cheerfulness,
constancy, faith and hope, of the man,
in these trying and vexatious times.
He constantly feeds these gracious af.
fections by a very diligent study of the
word of God. Then, not day passes
in which he does not employ in PRAYER
at least three Of has Gerry best hours.
Once | happened to hear him at PRAYER
Oh |! what spirit and what faith is there
IN his expressions. He petitions God
with as much reverence as if he was in
the divine presence, and yet with as
firm hope and confidence as he would
address father or friend. 'Tknow,"
said he, "thou art our Father and our
God, and therefore. am sure, thou wilt
bring to naught the prosecutors of
thy children. For shouldst thon fai. to
do this, thine own cause, being connec-
ted with ours, would be endangered. 1t
is entirely thine own concern. We. by
thy providence have been compelled to
take part. Thou, therefore, wilt be
our defence"
