The Pisnge Of Death.

An Alpine hunter, ascending Mount
Blanc, in passing over the Mer tic Glace,
lost his hold and slipped into one Of
those frlghtiul crevasses by which the sea
of Ice Is cleft to its foundations. By
catching himself in his swift descent
against the points of rocks and project
ing spurs of Ice, he broke his fall, so
that he reached the bottom alive, but
only TO face death in more terrible form.
On either hand the icy walls rose up to
heaven, above which he saw a strip of
blue sky. BY his feet trickled little
stream formed from the slowly melting
glacier. There was but one possible
chance of escape-to follow this riyulet,
which might lead TO some unknown pas
sage or crevice. In silence and terror
he picked his way, down, down the
mountain side, till his further advance
was stopped by n giant cliff that rose up
before him, while the river rolled dark
" below. He heard the roaring of the
waters which seemed to wait for him.
What should he do? Death was be-
side him and behind him, and, he might
fear, before him. There was no time
for reflection or delay. He paused but
an instant, and plunged into the stream.
One minute Of breathless SUSPENSE
sense Of darkness and GOODNESS, and yet
of swift motion, rs If he were gliding
through the shades below, and then
light began to gllmmer family on the
waters, and the next instant he was amid
the green fields and the flowers and the
summer sunshine of the vale of Glamour
ny. So Il Is when believers die. They
come to the bank of the river, and IL Is
cold and dark. Nature shrinks from the
fatal plunge. Yet one chilling moment
and all fear Is left behind, and the Chris
tan Is amid the fields of the Paradise Of
God. Thus faith, whether born of de
spair, or born of love and trust, Is the on
" support in life and in death. In all
conflicts, troubles, trials, let the believer
cling to the cross. Even when sinking in
the deep waters, let him hold fast to this
sign of his salvation, and in death be
found with 1t firmly grasped in his enclr-
cling arms.

II Is stated that an Irishman called

to give his attention to the case, but de-

Com n.nion Tith God.

Seek, my friends, Enoch's Introduction
10 the living God. Go TO him as Enoch
went. believing that nc Is, and that he Is
accessible (Heb. IL: G), and seek to get
the same just and realizing knowledge OF
him that Enoch got. He Is revealed to
you more amply, perhaps, than lie was to
Enoch. Believe that he Is not far OIL,
but nigh. Believe that he Is not hostile,
but propitious. Believe that he Is all
that Jesus was, and believing this, walk
with him. Admit him into your house,
that he may hallow IL. Admit him into
your hourly occupations, that he may ele-
yate and expediate them. Admit him
into your happy moments that he may
enhance them; and into your hours of
anguish, that his presence may tranquil
lie and transform them. Let his recol-
lected presence be the brightness of every
landscape, the zest of every pleasure, the
energy of every undertaking, the refuge
from every danger, the solace In every
sorrow, the asylum of your hidden life,
and the constant Sabbath of your soul.
Learn, with all reverence for his great
ness, but with equal reliance on his good
ness-learn to make the Eye that never
SAUNDERS the companion of your nights
and mornings; and the Ear that never
wearies, the conildant of your weakness,
your solitude, your ecstasy, your woe.
Learn to have not one life for God ana
another for the world; but let your life
be dlylnely devoted and divinely quicken
ed. Let every footstep be walk with

CALIFORNIA PINE.-An incxhaustible
source of wealth, now inaccessible, Is the
immense forest Of pine which extends
hundreds of miles through the State Of
California on the mountain range. The
proprietor of a lumber mill In Mariposa
county has carefully examined tract Of
100 acres of this pine, where the trees
range from three to twelve feet In Diane
ter. and generally rise from 100 to l25
feet to the first limb. A belt of this tim
Der extends ut least three hundred miles
parallel to the coast, no part of 1t above
or below certain latitude. 1t is reserved
for the wants of future generations; but
the subject ofpropagating this pine In all
congcnial situations is engaging the atten-
ton of parties on the Pacific coast.

PREACH PLAINLY.-Cowardlce In a
minister Is baser than In soldier, by how
much our warfare Is more honorable. A
faithful rcproof win get more love and
honor at the last than sinful and fawn-
ing assimilation. Though Paul reprov-
cd the discrimination Of Peter, yet Peter
praised the wisdom OF Paul. A man can
have no worse enemy In the world than a
fawning and ilattering minister, that dares
nor deal plainly with his conscience. We
are In much more danger TO wrong the
souls OF men by our oil than by our salt
by our praises then by our reproofs.-
