Christ Jesus was pre-eminently SYM
pathetic with all around him. He
touched human life at every point
lofty and lowly. He vas not afraid to
confront ruler, nor ashamed to pity
and heal beggar. He did not draw
back his foot when q sinful woman's
warm tears trickled upon IT, nor did he
refuse pubhcan's invitation to 20 and
be his guest. s'This man revivsik siV-
nsrs" was the snser leveled at him by
the bigeted Pharisees. 1t is a bastard
Christianity which ''snubs" honest
worth in q coarse coat, or refuses to pity
and shelter harlot because she has
made herself vile; or which builds a
''eolored pew" in a back corner Of the
sanctuary. The Divine Jesus was sep
arate from sinners" in that he possessed
an unspotted holiness, an unworldT aim,
and unblemished life. He was tempted
and yet without sin.

III umiIitY and Poverty lead 20
Heaven,

Once upon time there was a Kings
Son, who went out into the fields sad
and thoughtful. He looked up at the
sky, which was so beautifully blue and
clear, and said with sigh, "Ahl how
happy must they be who are in heaven
At the same moment he preceived
grey old Man, who was walking the
same way, and he asked him the ques-
ton how he, could go to heaven
"Through humility and poverty" an
swered the old Man. "Put on my old
clothes, and wander about the world
for seven years to learn what misery is:
take no money with yon, but when you
are hungry, beg pice of bread of charit-
able people, and thus you viii approach
gradually the gate of heaven
Thus advised, the Prince drew off his
fine clothing, and putting on instead the
Beggar's rags, he went forth into the
world, and endured much misery. He
took only the sesntiest meals, spoke
never word, but prayed daily to God,
to take him, If he pleased, 20 Heaven.
When seven years had passed, ne return
ed to his fathers house, but nobody
recognised him. He told the servants
to go and tell his parents that he was re-
turned; but the servants would not
believe him, and only laughed at his
pretensions. "Then go and tell my
brothers," said he, "that they may
come to me, for / should ike to see
them once again" This request they
also refused; but at length one went
and told the Kings children, but they
troubled not their heads about it. Then
he wrote letter to his mother, and de-
picted all his misery, but said nothing
about his being her son. The Queen
plying his nisfortunes, caused place
to be made for him below the staircase,
and there two servants daily had to
bring him food. But one of them was
wicked at heart, and asked, ''What shall
the Beggsr do with good food ~ and SO
he kept it for himself or gave it to the
dogs, while he took the poor, weak,
half-starved Prince nothing but water.
The other servant, however, was honest,
and took him daily what be received
for him. 1t was only little, but still
enough to sustain life for long while;
and with it he was quite content,
though he grew weaker and weaker.
But when his illness increased, he desir-
ed to receive the last rites of the church,
and while the serviceBs performing,
all at once every bell in the city and
the country round tolled. As soon as
the service was over, the Priest weat to
the poor Beggar, and found him lying
dead, holding in one hand a rose, and
in the other lily; and near him lay a
paper whereon was written his history.
And after he was buried, there grew
on one side of his grave rose, and on
the other lily.

the officers who have been turned out,
and all the ofice-seekers not yetin.
And their plan Of operation is to i'm
peach old Andy, suspend him during

served up, and all the friends of the

The third circle or ring, is the inter-

purely an intellectual ring, composed Of
poets, political writers, lecturers and
statesmen. 1t proposes to further its
ends by having Mr.. Speaker Colfsx de-
liver his sweet little lecture in every
school-house and at every crossroads
in the United States. After this it is
to be published, and every friend of
the movement is to have copy with
the compliments of Mr. Speaker Colfax,
which they consider more valuable than

SONG.

SONG.
The harp at Natures advent strung
Has never ceased to play;
The song the stars of morning sung
Has never died away.
And prayer is made, aud praise Is given,
By all things far and near;
The ocean looketh up to heaven
And mirrors every star.
It's waves are kneeling on the strand,
As kneels the human knee,
Their white locks bowling to the sand
The priesthood of the seal
They pour their gil ttering treasures forth,
Their gifts of pearl they bring,
And all the listning hills Of earth
Take up the song they sing.
The green earth sends her incense up
From manya mountain shrine;
From folded leaf and dewey cup
She pours her sacred wine.
The mists above the morning rills
Rise white as wings of prayer;
The altar curtains of the bills
Are sunsets purple air.
The winds with hymns of praise are loud,
Or low with sobs of pain,
The thunder organ of the cloud,
The dropping tears Of rain.
With dropping head and branches crossed
The twilight forest grieves,
Or speaks with tongues Of Pentecost
From all its sunlit leaves.
The blue sky is the temples arch.
lis transept earth and air,
The music of starry march
The chorus Of prayer.
So Nature keeps the reverent frame
With which her years began,
And all her signs and voices shame
The raye.less heart of man.

We once had clerk who got married.

His wife had a baby-and that is where
the funny part comes in. He was in
the Office yesterday, and wished us to
publish, for the benefit of mourners and
enquiring friends, the following bio

many kind friends asking about the
baby, that we have thought it necessary
to biograph the chap briefly, and some

He's "buster." :"
Weighs nine pounds and quarter,
and wife tells US he will grow heavier
as his weight increases.
He's the first baby of which We have
ever been proprietor, and of course is
the only baby in town.

of his pa.

say we think BIN an improvement on

he was born, and viii doubtless be too
old for his father in few years, if he

Interesting Incident.

The other day, in a union PRAYER
meeting at Chicago, a stranger arose
and said that some three years ago an
infidel and his family moved from one
of the Eastern States to the West, and
settled in small town in Iowa, a few
miles from the Mississippi River. Sab
bath desecration, profanity and licen-
tiousness were so awfully prevalent that
about one year ago the infidel and some
of his neighbors became alarmed at the
condition of society, and commenced
the inquiry: What shall we do 10 Sc
cure our children from the dreadful in
fuences of the placel They came to-
gether in council, and among other
means which were proposed to interest
the young and draw their minds from
the evil around them, was that Of
Sabbath school, and, TO the great aston.
ishment of the infdel, he was chosen
the Superintendent Of the school. He
was no Christian, be said; his father
was leading infdel, and he had i'm
bibed the same infdel notions, but he
felt that some means should be used
to check the fearful tide of sin in the
place; and, as he had committed him
self to do anything which should be
necessary for reform, ne would not
decline any post that might be asked
of him, and ne would do the best he

How TO CULTIVATE THE MUSK
MBBON.-A letter in the Country Cen
tleman says: Having for several
years adopted a system of oultivating
the muskmelon with success, l will
give you my method of doing it. Ma
nure is the first consideration. / use
none but horse manure; having had il
laid up to ferment. I turn it over sew
eral times until the strong heat has
passed off. I then dig my holes twelve
inches square, eight or ten inches deep.
{ then fill up with manure to the level
Of thesurfaee of the ground, On this
I put two inches of soil. / then take
q four inch flower pot, set this In the
center; then draw the remainder of the
soil around the pot, pressing it rather
firmly around 1t, until you have the
soil about four inches deep; then CIV
ing your pot a twist round, withdraw
it. This leaves a hole inches deep
by 4 wide. In this I drop five or six
seeds, and cover TO she depth of three
quarters of an inch. Over this place
light of 6X8 glass, pressing it lightly
to fit close. l then give no more at
tention till the plants are touching the
glass. l then go through them, taking
a small lump of earth or a small stone,
raise up one end Of your glass and
place this under it; this admits of a
circulation of air over the plants and
bardens them off In about three days
more l remove the glass entirely. By
this time they will be in the rough
leaf. I thin out to three plants in q
hill. I draw little fine soil around
them, up as high as the seed leaf, and
the work is done. The advantages OF
this system are, the protection Of the
young tender plants from cold winds
and rains, and last, though not least,
it is the only effeotual way of protee-
ton that / have found for that arch
enemy of all this class of plants, the
striped yellow bug. Cueumbers, wa
teTmelons, and squashes can be raised
in the same way

How TO HAVE MEALY POTAToEs.
1t is a very common thing in the
spring to find strong, watery potatoes
on the table, unless care has been tax
en- to select and preserve them. A
poor potato is the poorest article OF
food there can be had; and as soOD as
they begin to sprout they begin to grow
poor and Watery, the better part of the
root going to the support of the sprouts;
hence, to have mealy, nice potatoes, ii
is necessary to keep them from ex-
hausting themselves In this way. An
exchange gives the following method
Of preventing potatoes from sprouting,
which We hope will be tried and ap-
proved. Take good, sound potatoes,
and place them in a barrel or tub, and
pour boiling water over them, letting
them remain in the water until the
eyes are scalded so they will not sprout;
dry the potatoes thoroughly in the sun,
and put them away in box or barrel
iu a cool dry place. This will give
good mealy potatoes all the time.
