the horse by half n mile and win

For this extraordinary pcrfor-

THE SUMNER SoANDAL.-We are
not addicted to the repetition of
scandal about either public or prl-
vate persons, but when apublic man
mixes up his domestic difficulties
with international diplomacy, it is
quite right that the public should
know about them. This is the case
with Mr.. Sumner, who is well known
to have parted from his wife. Mrs.
Sumner is said to be a lady of rare
accomplishments and culture
Shortly after marriage, Mr.. Sumner
at II dinner party, introduced her to
Baron HoIstein, of the Prussian Le-
CATION. They were placed in ad-
joining seats at the table The Ba-
ron enjoyed her conversation, and
cultivated her acquaintance. He
called upon her frequently and some.
times escorted her to matinees and
soirces, and occasionally to the Sen
ate Chamber, All this was pleasing
to the Madame, but unpleasant to
Mr.. Sumner, who wrote to Baron
Holstein letter in which discredit-
able things were intimated. The
Baron replied that there was no
cause for otfeuse the attention CIV
en- Mrs. Sumner was no more than
he was in the habit of bestowing
upon ladies Of similar position and
accomplishments; bnt that if MIR.
Sumner was still dissatisfied, he was
ready to give him any satisfaction,
which, as u mattop Of honor, he
might call for. Mr.. Sumner did not
relish a pistol ball, so he quietly
wrote rs chairman Of the Commit
tee on Foreign Affair" to Bismarck,
saying that he would esteem it IA
vor if he would take Baron Hol-
stein away from Washington. OF
course Bismarck at once recalled the
gallant diplomatist.
Mr.. Sumner acted coldly towards
his wife, and she in some manner,
became acquainted with the CORES
pondencc and was very indignant
at the insinuations against her hon
on, and the end of it all was that she
packed up her trunks and left for
Europe, and the Sumner mansion,
at Washington, is rented to another
member whose domestic relations
are more happy than those of its
owner. No matter what might have
heen the extent Of the Baron's Of
Tending, Mr.. Sumner had no right
to use his position as Chairman OF
the Committee on Foreign Affairs
to remove him. The matter was 2
personal one and ought not to have
been mixed up with public affairs

The Croaker.

The race of croakers is not yet ex-

another of bodily infrmity, third that
mankind undervalue him, while a fourth

modicum of respect for Cain even, had
he silently borne his grievances; but the
moment he murmurs all sympathy and

is aroused and verdict, instantaneous
and peremptory, unavoidably ensues.- :
The man is fratricide, and what right
has he to complain =? The individual,

that thou vast an hard man reaping

manly protest is often allowable and some
times imperative, but muttering and

Come Over and Help Us"

A little more than eighteen hundred
years ago, this appeal came into the ears
of Paul, the great Apostle to the Gentiles.
In a vision of the night, man from
Macedonia, stood by him saying, "Come
over into Macedonia and help us. " I'm
mediately upon his seeing the vision and
hearing the appeal, he determined in his
heart to 90, aud set his face thitherward,
"assuredly gathering that the Lord had
called him to preach the Gospel unto
them" And now after the lapse of cen
turies, and the unparalleled triumph and
success of the Gospel in many lands then
yelled in mysticism and darkness, the
same earnest appeal comes from distant
lands, and many destitute regions in our
own land, "Come over and help US. "
Would to God, there were as ready a res
ponse to it now, from those who have
professedly consecrated themselves to the
Masters work, and especially those who
are about entering upon the work of the
ministry, as was manifested by Paul,
when he first received this call direct from
God himself. The days of extraordinary
revelation, dreams and visions of the
night may be past; and yet if we take
into consideration, the vast Importance
of the work, which God has committed
to his Church, and the nature of her OBJ
legation to him for its speedy and COM
plete accomplishment, it certainly becomes
every one who has taken upon himself
the vows of Christ, and is now professed-
ly in vital union with him, to ponder
well this question, daily seeking wisdom
from on high, to direct him in his decis-
ion, as to "whether it is not personally
to me-" It matters not with what gifts
he may be endowed; whether he be
clothed with ministerial authority, and
is called to preach the Gospel publicly
or whether, as private member of the
Church, he is called to the work of a
Christian teacher; the question ought to
be well considered" does not this cal
come to me personally? And if so, then
it is my duty to obey, it matters not how

The Angel in the Block.

' 1t is related of Michael Angelo that
while walking with some friends through
an obscure streetiin the city of Florence,
he discovered "a fine block of marble,
lying neglected in q yard, and half buried
in dirt and rubbish. Regardless of his
holiday attire, he at once fell to work
upon it, clearing away it's fifth and striv-
ing to lift it from the slime and mire in
which it lay. His companion asked him,
in astonishment, what he was doing, and
what he wanted with that worthless piece
of rock. "0h, there's an angel in the
stone," was the answer, sand I must get
it out. t."A He had it removed to his stu
dio, and with patient toll, with mallet and
chisel, he let the angel out. What to
others was but rude, unsightly mass of
stone, to his educated eys was the buried
glory Of art; he discovered at a glance
what might be made Of it. A mason
would have put ittinto stone wall; cart
man would have used it filling in, or
to grade the streets; but he transformed
it into creatien of genius, and gave it
q value for ages to come. sdl di.f i13
And so tis with time. Some see it
only as rubbish to be disposed of. Others
know no use for it but to fill up gaps of
toll or pleasure, but the trained eye of
the devout student of Providence, sees in
it the sleeping or buried angel, and knows
thati by the grace of God, he handles
it Alright, he can carve it into the form
Of angelic serviee-he can shape it into
life of holy devotion, till, like that
which Theodore Parker admired in the
missionary Judson, it is worth more than
ga temple like the Parthenon."
Without religion it is almost inevitable
that one should be constrained to ex-
claim at last, Like one of the great mar
shals of France, "My life has been a
failure" but with it, will be transmitted
from the rough block into the glorious
statue, or rather, the living form. Con-
secrated aims will make it at once useful
and blessed, path of light, but path
way, too, to angelic stories in higher

Children Christians.

What is it to be Christian? Practi-
caIly answered, it is to obey Jesus, and
love him, and trust him, and be evermore
true to him. And pfbisely this thschild
can do more easily than the mann
transfgured childhood in in Uh|E5Ss Jesus.
Look at your little child! Seehow truste
full he is What unlimited faith hezhfs
in his father and mother! Why, he be-
lieves that they can do any thing. And
whatever they say, he believes it, though
all the world should say the contrary
And then he has no anxiety about the
future He knows that his parents love
him, and that they, will feed him, and
clothe him, and take care of him; and
why should he be troubled about the
morrow? And so he lives On from day
to day, unanxiously, trustingly hopefully,
with simple, undistracted heart, just
because he is little child, and lives with
an unwavering confidence in thedevotion
of his parents Precisely so is the new
life in Christ Jesus glori6ed childhood,
living in the Heavenly Fathers protec-
ton and smiles, moulded by his rule,
content with his love, unanxious for the
future, feeling certain that the Father
who took care of him yesterday will take
care of him tomorrow. And this is the
very test of piety. Before man can
become Christian, he must come into
the infantile state. Jesus took a little
child and set him in the midst of them;
and when he had taken him up in his
arms, he said unto them: except ye
turn and become as little children ye
shall not enter into the kingdom of
heaven Iai,s, lca 3, ,aib,u-1r ra
Therefore it is, that of all persons lit
tie children are the most likely to become
Christians; and the younger they are,
the greater this likelihood. 1t is not in
spite of their being young, but because
they are young, that their case is 80 hope.
ful.uo The real wonder is, not that little
children are converted, but that men and
women are The fact is simply this
Your child, for the very reason that he is
little child, is of all persons the most
capable, because the most willing, to re-
Iseivs- Christ and his SALVATION When
Jesus says to him, &c You are sinful lit
tie child" he believes it. When Jesus
says to him, 81 died on the cross that
you might be saved" he believes that.
When Jesus says to him, Come to me,
little ones, with all your sins, and I will
forgive you," he believes that, and comes,
and is forgiven. And thus, while the
man of maturer years is hesitating, and
vacillating, and postponing, and arguing,
and talking about moral inability, and
election, and fear of falling out by the
way, and not feeling enough, and the i'm
perfections of church members, and what
not, the little child jumps at the pardon
which Christ offers, just because he is a
little child, and beGeyesevery thing Jesus
says. In that hour Jesus rejoiced in
spirit, and said SCI thank thee, 0
