Spring is Coming.

Yes, the glad, the loving, the glo
rious Spring is coming-it has come
in name at least. The bitter embrace
of grim old Winter has been broken
and will soon give way to the green
grass, the beautiful leaves of trees
and the still more beautiful flowers;
when the birds tune their voices in
praise of the Creator and all Nature
awakes from the slumber of DEATH
The Spring is the season when We
always feel the most like thanking
God that we are permitted to live on
the beautiful and fruitful earth. To
the Christian, the Spring is visible
argument in favor of the truth of his
faith, for if God so restores the fruits
and the flowers, lie will also take care
OF and restore that which is of so
much more value. The Spring is a
type of that "tmc when this mortal
shall put on immortality, and this
corruptible shall put on incorrup
ton"
These are pleasant reflections so
far, but we must remember that the
Spring is followed by the hot, swell
tering Summer, and that the Cholera,
that dread scourgc, may visit our
shores during the coming Summer.
Are we prepared for the ''pestieI ce
that walketh in darkness and that
wasteth at noondalY" If not, we
should be, and our preparation should
begin now.

The Roman WIFE.

Cecina Petus, q Roman noble, was
convicted of treason, and ordered to
take his own life. lie was not mar
of iron nerve, and he hesitatcd AR
ria, his wife, who had remained
throughout the trial at his side, seiz
ed the dagger and plunged it to the
hilt in her own breast. Then hand.
ing it to her husband, she exclaimed,
with her expiring breath, "Petus,
IL does not hurt" lie hesitated no
longer, and in q moment was with
her in the world of spirits. He
caught her spirit, and its work
wrought for him, in his weakness and
enabled him to conquer.
When we hesitate and tremble be-
fore duty OF danger, we may always
turn our eyes toward One, whose ex
ample Of self sacrifice ought to nerve
MS for anything that God requires.
Looking unto Jesus, who for the JOY
that was set before him endured the
cross, despising the shame, is to look
where we may find the great con
straining power that will draw all
men unto him. Ii we are only at his
side in the hour of temptation aud
darkness, we shall he near what is
more than sufficient for the greatest
human need. Fellowship with Christ
In thoughtful love and earnest prayer,
will necessarily result in dClivcrance
and strength, even 10y the natural law
that prevails in all afrectionatc rela
tions, namely, that the stronger will
give something to the weaker, the
greater TO the less. Fellowship with
his sufferings reveals TO our hearts
his love in being made curse for us
that we might be delivered from all
condemnation. Is there anything in
the universe to be compared with
this rs gracious constraint to tho
highest exercise of ailectionate dcvo
tion to another. Were we to stand
on the steps of the eternal throne,
and look with God.illumined eyes on
the scene OF rapture that glows
around its loltiest summit, we would
not even there discern of such love
as fills believing hearts, unless we
could see in the distance of the earth
we left behind, the hill of Calvary
and the Son Of Man as lie is lifted up.
In the sacrifice of Himself on the
cross, let us now find our spirit of
self devotion. Looking unto Jesus,
seeing what he did for us, let us by
faith catch the inspiration, and OBJ
tain the spirit that makes us faithful
unto death

A strong room, recently construct.
ed for n London bank, is thus de-
scnbed The walls, two feet thick,
are formed Of hard bricks, laid in
cement, and with hoop iron worked
in. The room is listed throughout
with iron half an inch thick. There
are two doors--thc outer a strong

of extraordinary strength, with two

to the inside of the strong room, so
that if the outer door is opened n

there is y watchman always on duty.

A recent number of London jour.
nal says:
1t is at this time of the year that
they who are really anxious to know
the extent and degree of the poverty
that dwells in London may most com
pletely satisfy themselves. Frost
develops poverty as frost develops a
photograph. 1t is the last cruel
smart that makes the poor wretch cry
aloud. 1t kills the feeble; it strikes
to the breast of the hungry. Directly
the frost is fairly upon us, the papers
are crowded with appeals from every
part of London in behalf of poor
families housed in fireless garrcts,
and without crust or blanket
Not few such cases appear, repeat.
edly The instances Of starvation by
hunger and cold may be counted ev-
cry winter in London by the thous-
and.
This dismal fate is that of poor
workmen's families. The workman
with his wife can just keep body and
soul together in the warm months
They are of the vast London army OF
undcrpaid men and women, whose Ia.
bor is paid less even than that Of
Dorsetshire laborcr. They arc John
Cross town relations. The courts
and alleys swarm with them. If they
will not take the work they can get
at the price the master chooses TO pay
for it, there is another poor creature
ready TO pounce upon it The com.
petition Is nercc, for the most miscr.
able cling to life, and will do a days
work for n crust, if no more than u
crust is to he had.
A Clerkenwcll missionary has re-
Gently given the public one or two
examples of the kind of distress that
ahounds in his ncighborhood--we
might almost say is the rule there.
In little top room lives man, his
wife and five children. There is no
fire, there is no money even for Il
rush-light, and the children are cry
ing for bread. The wife has been
compelled to give up situation
where she earned nine shillings a
week. The husband can scarcely
earn anything, and there is no relief
from the parish!
A poor widow can earn barely one
shilling Il week. Her weeks fare
consists Of five pennies worth Of
bread, two pounds of potatoes and
six pennies worth of groceries. In
another family there is one meal II
day, which consists of bread and tea,
with sometimes little bit Of butter
The father has been out of work ten
weeks, and the mother can earn only
a triilc at her nccdle-work. These
are fair samples Of the cases that
might be collected at the present mo-
ment by the thousand. When pov.
erty of this intensity comes to light
every winter, land is shown to exist
over large neighborhoods, and to get
worse and worse rs years go by, we
cannot avoid the conclusion that
there are regular influences ut work
winch as surely produce this misery
rs the frost develops it.
How is it that all this underpaid,
unskilled, sickly labor, becomes
massed in districts, until we find en-
tire parishes of paupcrs? How is it
that generation after generation of
sickly creatures (whose labor is
barely worth their bread is permit
ted to arise, to suffer, and to die,
without having provoked even spec
ulation among politicians in power on
the means of regulating the labor
market as to continually direct labor
from the markets where it is super.
to the places where it is in
demand.
