Blessed are the MercifuI

A crippled beggar was trying to pick up
some old clothes that had been thrown
from a window, when a crowd ofrude boys
gathered about him. mocking his awkward
movements ands hooting at his helpless
ness and rags. Presently a noble little fell
low came up and, pushing through the
crowd, helped the poor crippled man to picb,
up his gifts, and placed them in a bundle
Then slipping a piece of silver into his
hands, he was running away, when q voice
far above him said, Little boy with straw
hat, look upw A lady, leaning from an
upper window, said, God bless you, my
little fellow God will bless YOU for that j.
As he walked along, he thought how glad
he had made his own heart by doing good
He thought of the poor beggar's grateful
look OF the lady's smile, and her kind
words and last, and better than ali. he
could almost hear his heavenly Father
whispering, Blessed are the merciful, foi
Ihey shall obtain mercy" Little reader
when YOU have the chance of doing good
and feel tempted 10 neglect it, remember III,
little boy with the straw hat"

Men Wanfed-

The great want of this age is men; men
who are not for sale; men who are honest
sound from center to circumference, true
to the hearts core men who will condemn
wrong in friend or foe, in themselves as
well as Others men whose consciences are
as steady as the needle to the pole men
who will stand for the right if the heavens
totter and the earth reels; men who can
tell the truth, and look the world and the
devil right in the eye; men that neither
brag nor run men that neither flag nor
finch /; men who can have courage without
shouting to it; men in whom the courage
of everlasting life runs still, deep, and
strong; men who DO not cry and cause their
voices to-be heard on the streets, but who
will not fail nor be discouraged till judg-
ment be set in the earth; men who know
their message and tell it; men who know
their places and fill them men who know
their own business; men who will not lie;
men who are not too lazy to work, nor too
proud to be poor men who are willing to
eat what they have earned, and wear what
they have paid for Christian Adcocate.

Remedy for SANDER.

a writer in the Liberal Christian, speak
ing of the vice ofslander, well inquiries and
well answers,
What, then, is the remedy for this evil?
| know Of but one. As that is Justly called
a vain and worthless religion which does
not put the bit on the tongue, so the needful
check and guidance for our speech must be
true and undefled religion. Our only sure
rock Of defence against evil speaking is a
firm, Christian character. In the age of
chivalry, when hign-minded conduct and
noble deeds were counted as the mark of
true manhood, King Arthur, soweread hav-
ing drawn together the knighthood- errant
of his realm and all the realms in that fair
order of the Round Table, made them lay
their hands in his and swear
'sro lead sweet lives in purest chastity.
To ride abroad redressing human wrongs,
To speak no slander-no! nor listen to it,
Those days of chivalry are indeed depart
ed. But that pure religion taughtandlived
by Jesus Christ binds every disciple of His
by still more sacred VOW,
ITO speak no slander-no! nor listen to it,
By the side of true Christian character,
grounded on the everlasting foundation of
charity, all professions of belief are but
houses on the sand, that will fail and fall
away. We may say Lord, Lord" with
never so much humbleness of piety but if
we have not sought TO do the plainiv-reveal-
ed will Of God, it will be all in vain. We
may offer our daily petition that we be not
Sled into temptation;" but what will our
prayer avail ii we wilfully expose ourselves
ali the day long to the seductive temptation
OF idle talk and uncharitable gossip? We
may, ask to be forgiven for our trespasses
but how can we expect forgiveness for oul
own actual faults when we are so ready tc
cast upon our fellows the shadow of un-
proved and even imaginary sins? Nav we
strive with Gods help, to keep our hearts
with all diligence, that we may speak only
those words that are well pleasing in Hi:
sight-"with malace towards none. with
pefect charity toward all mankind.''

hat haunting dream of Better,

Too narrow is for rest;
The feet of the Immortal
Leap forth TO seek the Best.
beauty, trailing sadness!
Despair, hopes Hottest birth
With fears and aspirations
Have we believed the earth.
The opening buds of April
Untimely frost may chill;
The soul of sweet October
Paints out in mystery still.
What buriest thou. gay childhood
Swift youth, what fed with thee I
Laugh'st at our losses, Sorrow,
AS in some godlike glee?
Away, away forever
Our vessels seem to sail,
The Eternal Breath o'ertake them;
Home speeds them every gale.
The fimy gold and purple
Swathed not the hill we trod:
Twas hard and common climbing,
The bramble and the clod.
The bitterness we tasted
Was Truths most wholesome leaven:
The friends that left us lonely
Are opening doors in heaven.
And now the deeper midnight
UncOvers larger stars,
And gratis of glory burgeon
From earthly blights and scars.
And now the mists are lifting
The tides are rushing in
'Tis sunrise on the mountains =
Lo! life is yet to win

Praying and Working.

I like that saying of Martin Luther when
he says, Il have so much business to do
to-day that shall not be able to get through
it with less than three hours PRAYER. y
Now, most people would say, 81 have so
much business to do to-day that have on
ly three minutes prayer; l cannot afford
the time" But Luther thought that the
more he had to do the more he must pray.
or else he could not get through it. That
is blessed kind of logic: may we under
stand it! Praying and provender hinder
no mans journey" If we have to stop and
pray, 1t Is no more hindrance than when
the rider has to stop at the farriers to have
his horses shoe fastened; for if he went on
without attending to that, it may be that
ere long he would come to stop of far
more serious kind.-G. IL. Spurgeon.

Lord, before l commit sin, it seems TO
me SO shallow, that ! may wade through it
dry-shod from any outlines but when I
have committed it, it often seems 50 deep
that | cannot esca ye without drowning.
Thus am always in the extremities either
my sins are so snail that they need not my
repentance, or so great that they cannot OBJ
tain Thy pardon, Lend me, Q Lord, a
reed out Of Thy sanctuary, truly to meas
ure the dimensions of my offences. But,
oh as Thou revealest to me more Of
my misery, reveal also more of Thy mercy
lest if my wounds in my apprehension cape
wider than Thy tents, my soul run out at
them. If my badness seem bigger than
Thy goodness, but one hairs breadth, but
one moment, that is room and time enough
for me to run to eternal despair - h0s

CHARGE to the People.

Noting the coming of new laborer to
neighboring pastorate, Rev. 7. K Beecher
gives his people theses suggestions just APP
plicable to any other latitude: ID
No man can possibly be or do all that is
thought of or expected, by church and
congregation. Ten persons speak b
phrase ''our pastor" and no two of the ten
have precisely the same notion associated
with the words. The pastor comes. If he
perfectly satisfy the ideal of one in ten, he
will certainly disappoint the other nine.
| If he be an amiable or timid man, and
undertake to please all, the effort will keep
him IN state of perpetual anxiety and
caution; till that by and by all will hold IN
small esteem man whose only fault is
| that he tries to satisfy all and has no char
acter of his own.
| All sorts Of work should not be expected
OF one man. Accordingly, when the new
minister comes, he should be planted down
in his place, but at perfect ease in his home,
and be told to give himself to the word of
God and prayer and labors as strength and
opportunity serve. He is the minister
| servant of the church and is to use the
gift that is in him. And we certify all
churches, that a minister is worth ten times
as much at the work which he knows how
to do, as at work which you think he ought
to do, but which he hates, being uncalled
of God to it.
Consider, too, that Jesus the great pas
tor, though he had many deciples yet was
he peculiarly confidential and free with
three, Peter, James and John. And of
only one is it written, ''the deciple whom
Jesus loved" Many houses and many
families in Jerusalem would gladly have
made Jesus at home as often as he chose to
come in. But he appears to have frequent
ed the cottage of Mary and Martha and
Lazarus, just over East hill Of Olives in
Bethany. We know pastor who has no
friendships, no resting place among my
people, to avoid giving otiense or exciting
jealousy" so he told us. He visits his
people evenly, officially, impartially, pune
tually as a milk wagon. And he grOans,
being burdened. He has no home, no ease,
no heart-rest anywhere Let not the pas
tor be allowed to make visiting machine
I'of himself. Let him seek and find a friend
ly home or homes besides his own Let
him have mis- Peter and James and John
aye, his Mary and his Martha too. He
: will not be the worse pastor of all, because
of the intimate friendship of a few-1d-

John Bunyan being once asked a CUES
ton concerning heaven which he could not
answer because the Bible had furnished no
reply, very wisely advised the querist to
follow Christ, and live a holy life, that he
might by-and-by go to heaven and see for
himself. Lord, are there few that be saw
ed?o asked curious questioner of Christ.
Strive to enter in at the strait gate" was
the instant and pertinent reply.

Henry Ward Beecher wisely says, that
the feeling with which you administer pun
ishment will generally excite in the Child
a corresponding experience. If you bring
anger, anger will be excited; if you bring
affection and sorrow, you will find the child
responding in sorrowful feelings; ifyou
bring moral feelings, the child's conscience
will answer back again.

Messrs. GEO. P. RowELL Il Co.,
Gentlemef.-One year ago with much hesita-
ton we gave you an advertisement for one OF
your Lists of One Hundred local papers; very
short time thereafter we unhesitatingly added
two more lists of One Hundred papers.
But short time elapsed before we were in
quired of on every side for "Colburn's Patent
Red Jacket Ak" proving to us that your plan OF
Lists had reached the very parties to whom we
wanted to introduce the new patent AK
The year having now nearly gone by, we can
not but believe your system of advertising by
Lists OF local papers" is just the kind of adver-
Using we want, and we to-day forward you an
order still adding one more List of One Hundred
papers, making now altogether four az Lists Of
One Hundred Q00) local papers.
The more we talk with newspaper agents and
editors agents the more satisfied we are that the
arrangement we have made with you is prefera.
bic to any we ever heard of. The merit of the
AK itself has, of coarse, something to do with the
great demand for it, but we are satisfied that by
your system of advertising by "Lists" we have
accomplishment one year what would have ordin-
aflly taken us five years to accomplish.
