Young Christians.

There Is in our churches, east and west,
a large company of young Christians who
have been gathered into the fold of Christ
within few months, as the fruits OF the
extensive revivals last fall and winter.
Very likely, during the summer season
which has been passing, they have been
subjected to certain tests and trials, which
they had moi exactly anticipated, and they
may have learned more about their own
hearts than they knew before. There Is
often a glow of emotion, an ardor OF teel-
inc in the day Of our espousals to Christ,
which makes Us unduly elated, and rem
der, us somewhat uncharltable IN our
judgments of others A little more expe-
rience of the weakness and Inconsistency of
our own hearts, larger acquaintance
with the obstacles to be encountered, and
the temptations to be borne, as we Jour-
ney on day by day in the Christian life,
prepare us to Judge more wisely, and to
act more discreetly.
Now that the first novelty Of the new
relation has passed by, let us suggest one
or two thoughts for your consideration
Perhaps il already begins to appear to the
older members OF the churches with which
YOU are connected, whether you are here
after to be reckoned among the working
members, or whether you are only to in
crease the number, without adding mate
rally to the force. That which makes
the beauty and glory of the Christian life,
is not titful and high-wrought emotions,
but ''patient continuance in well-dOing.'
"Bchold,' says the apostle, ''we count
them happy which endure This sinful
world Is full Of work, already prepared
for the followers Of Christ, and one OF hi:
most significant commands is, $50 work
to-day in my yineyard.' 1t is of the Ut
most Importance that you should at the
outset, understand and appreciate the fact
that true discipleship means paimarlly
not enjoyment but service. If you are
seeking for enjoyment, you can find it on
" III this way Take it then, as a frs
principle in your Christian life, that you
are not to be
Carried to the skies
On fiOwery beds of ease,"
but that You are TO follow the Master II
patient and continuous service-that you
are to deny yourself, and daily take VI
the cross and follow him.
But on the other hand, let not this idea
Of outward and active service take you
away from your closet, from communion
with God by prayer, and from calm anc
silent meditation upon his holy word. L
YOU neglect these secret duties, the inspir,
ING force Of these outward acts will soor
be spent, and this patient work for Christ
will grow wcarisome and distasteful. But
If you will 90 daily to the great source OF
supply, if you will keep yourself in living
connection, by faith, with the almighty
and invisible Saviour, then the yoke will
be easy and the burden light" Your
heart will find joy and peace in all your
toll, and the thought that You are pleasing
Christ, in what YOU do, will make the
heaviest labors light. When Christians
can truly say, for the love OF Christ con-
straineth US all toll is made easy, and
all duty becomes pleasure.-Congreg1-
tOntLnt.

earth, and his walk was tottering shut
file, the effect Of whiskey and old age. He
reeled from one side of the pavement to
the other, and at last brought up against
a lamp-post on the corner, when a young
looking loafer coming along saluted him
with ''Hulloa, jim! Come and take
drink 2" The old mans eyes frightened,
and arm-in-arm, he sauntered along to the
nearest GROCERY with his companion.
Five years ago that old man was james
Green, U. S. senator from Missouri, and
in the days of Kansas and Lecompton
matters he was, next to Stephen A. Doug
las, the ablest debater in congress. But
the war broke out, Mr. Green was sent to
the rebel congress, soon lost his property,
his position and his character, and now
he is poor drunkard, and earns barely a
pittance of a living as calaboose shyster.

16rThere is some anxiety, we learn,

the President on the Freedmen's Bu.

we presume, arose the report, current
here yesterday, that it had received his
veto. 1t 10 unnecessary to say that we
trust there is no other foundation for
this report than the fact that the Presi.
dent has doubts as to, the wisdom of
some of the provisions of the. Bill. It
is to be hoped that be will waive these.
unless they are vital points, which d ,es
not seem likely, inasmuch as more than
twoihirds of Congress have passed the
Bill alter the most careful examination
of the whole subject, and three mem
bers of his Cabinet, Messrs. Seward,
Stanton and Harlan, give it, it is said
their unqualified approval. We still

moment is taken from the category of
possible differences between the Presi.

A Strange Event.
(From The Kansas State Journal, Feb. /

AttoAA INV AAeAn11 otaso Soutuht2 NeD III
Last Saturday night, while Mr.. John
Callahan and his wife, who reside near
the park in this city, we're sitting in their
front room reading, Mrs. Callahan got
up and vent into the kitchen for some
water. On opening the door an animal
entered, and on seeing the lamp light
made spring from the floor up to the
ceiling, but fell back with q crash. He
then sprang on the stove, then to the
piano. By this time Mrs. Callahan had
retreated up stairs. After fastening the
stair door, Mr. Callahan took hurried
view of his new visitor From former
mountains, he soon decided that the in
truder was a cstamount or wildcat
Like an old soldier, that he is, he pre-
pared for action. First, however, he
opened the door and gave the ugly var
mint chance to compromise by leaving.
But his opponent did not believe ia back
ing out If be did get into an ugly scrape.
No armistice could be agreed upon, con-
sequently the parties prepared for bat
tie. Mr.. Callahan armed himself and
assumed the offensive Throwing out
his skirmishers in the shape of billet
of wood, his cat hip received the first
charge on his side, when he in turn
sprang at Mr.. Callahan, but landed on
the table. From the table be made
demonstration upon the windows, liter
ally demolishing the curtains He then
took up position on the settee. Mr..
Callahan followed up the attack, when
the enemy took possession Of and perched
himself upon the bureau glass. His
weight here over balanced him and he
fell between the bureau and the wall.
Mr.. Callahan got the advantage by push.
ing the bureau against the wall and
hemming in the rascal.
Atthis Injunction Mr.. G. received re-
enforcement in the person of another
soldier, Mr.. Baldwin, late of the llth
Kansas. They now proceeded to barri-
cads the enemy's position SO as to cut off
his retreat. A council of war was held,
and it was agreed to catch the enemy
alive if possible. This idea had to be
abandoned, however, when a navy re-
volver was brought to bear upon the cat
and he was shot--one terrific scream,
and all was over The cat measured
three feet two inches in length and six
teen inches In height Mr. Callahan has
taken proper measures to preserve his
hide as a trophy.
Mr. Baldwin, who is trapper, thinks
this almost as ugly customer as he
ever saw. He also states that while out
hunting Friday, be saw some four or
five of these animals a short distance
south Of the city. 8Ng flnaf
