Ont of the Gutter.

| Ragged, dirty and ugly. He had fallen il
the muddy gutter; his hands and his face were
black, his mouth wide open, and sending forth
sounds not altogether musical. A rough hand
lifted him up and placed him against the wall.
There he stood, his tears making little cutters
down his begrimed cheeks Men as they passed
laughed at him, not caring for moment to
stop and enquire if he were really hurt. BOYS
halted minute to jeer and load him with their
insults. Poor boy he hadn't friend in the
world that he knew Of Certainly he did not
deserve one; but if none but the deserving had
friends, how many would be friendless?
A lady is passing; her kindness of heart
prompts her to stop and say word to the boys
who are joking their companion and laughing
at his sorrow Then she looked fxedly at the
dirty crouching lad against the wall.
Why, John, is it you"
He removes one black fist from his eye and
looks up. He recognizes her. She has taught
him at the ragged school,
"Oh, ma am, I'm hurt so bad u
She has him examined, then taken to the
hospital. Afterwards she visits him kindly and
frequently.
A year passes by.
There is a fire one night A dwelling-hous
is in flames. The engine has not yet arrived.
The inmates cannot be rescued. A boy has
looked on, Suddenly he shouts, "Oh, she
lives here' Then he climbs up the heated
fallen stairs. He fights against the sufocating
smoke. He hunts about till he finds what he
sought. She has fainted-is dying perhaps
No! he will save her. Five minutes of agonl.
zing suspense, and she is safe in the cool air.
The by-standers are luck with the intrepid
ity of the boy. He only walks away, mutter-
ing, ''She did Mt turn away from me when |
was hurt"
Oh, friends, the stone looks very rough, but
it may be diamond.

A Death-bed Sermon.

A gentleman died last week at his residence
IN one OF our uptown fashionable streets, leaving
$l1 100000. He was a member of the Pres
byterlan Church, in excellent standing, good
husband and father, and thrifty citizen On
his death bed, lingering long, he suffered with
great agony of mind and gave continual express
slons to his remorse for what his conscience
told him had been an ill-spent life "Oh!"
he exclaimed, and his weeping friends and rela-
tions gathered about his bed-"Oh if | could
only live my years over again. Oh if could
only be spared, for few years, would give all
the wealth have amassed in my life time. 1t
IS life devoted to money-getting that regret.
1t Is this which weighs me down and makes me
despair of the life hereafter!' His clergyman
endeavored to soothe him, but be turned his
face to the wall. ''You have never reproyed
my avariclous spirit" he said to the minister,
y on have called it wise economy and fore.
thought but now know that riches have been
only snare for my poor soul | would give all
l possess to have hope for my poor soul!' In
this sad state OF mind, refusing to be consoled,
this poor rich man bewaled life devoted to
the mere acquisition of riches. Many came
away from his bedside impressed with the use
lessness of such an existence as the wealthy
man had spent, adding house to house and dol
lar to dollar, until he became millionaire.
All knew him to be protesting Christian and
good man, as the world goes, but the terror
and remorse of his death-bed administered a
lesson not be lightly dismissed from memory.
He would have given all for a single hone of
