an accident, when five men passed the window
ana peeped in eagerly, but seeing the clerk at
his post and his face indicative of surprise,
they hurriedly passed on and disappeared An
examination Of the premises was made, and in
the desk close by the clerk a bullet such as is
used in air-guDs was found imbedded No
report Of firearms was heard.
"A statement has been published Of the ex-
penses and profits of 6rst-class travelling
circus and menagcrie. The season With this
entertainment lasts from the first of April to
the last Of October. Nearly three thousand
miles were travelled over in that time an ave-
rage of eighteen miles being made on every
day the show moved at all. Ninety people
draw salaries from the ploprietors in various
capacities. The expenses for hotel bills, 207
days, were 500. 44s for people, S27 022 for sta
bling and feeding stock. The animals rsquir-
ed hundred and fifty pounds of boef q day.
The total expenses were about $500 day, and
reached 10 the aggregate s141,6 The total
receipts, on 1T show days, exceeded this
amount by s53 100, but from this profit the cx-
pense of wintering the animals must be de-
Quoted.
1t was recently stated that Swiss mro-
naut, with an experience Of twelve years in
ascensions, has recently arrived at New York
to carry out his plan of crossing the Atlantic
through the air. He has brought with him in
complete readiness the balloon in which he
proposes to make his journey. tits of pecu-
liar shape, and of the following Dimensions: :
95 feet in height, $50 feet in diameter; capacity
for gas 125, 900 cubic feet. The car being made
of bamboo, and in the shape of house, re-
sembles a long bamboo hut, and will, it is
stated, accommodate as many passengers as
desire to go upon the voyage. The aronaut is
desirous of starting at as early a date as possi-
BILE, and at all events before the return of warm
weather. His reason for this is That the bal
loon would suffer a dangerous loss Of gas by
expansion in the heat of warm suns.

paid 10 their President, Colonel A. 0. An
drews, on the occasion of his rclinquish-

once graceful and deserved. For more

Chamber has made her own and the rcso-

formal expression to the high esteem IN
which each of its individual members holds

for so long period presiding officer en-

that rare tact and spirit which ever render
his presence SO genial an clement at the

The Little Ones.

Fortunate are those parents who have
learned to respect the individuality of
their children; who are not madly bent
upon planting them in the family garden
in set rows, and so closely that their
branches have no room to stretch out into
the fair sunlight; who are forever on
hand with the pruning knife or hoe, to
lop off that which, if left, would develope
into sweet buds or flowers; or to dig the
earth prematurely for roots which were
better left safely hidden till their natural
period of vigorous appearing. A gar
dener who should be guilty of such folly
would be laughipg-stock. What if all
his flowers were of one colorf What if
every twig and leaf were of the same
size? How weary should we be of this
monotony. How We should long for the
delicate pink of the rose, and the royal
purple of the violet, and the pure snow
of the lily, and the distinctive aroma of
each. Why not in this respect take a
lesson from nature, which is at once so
bountiful and so wise?

WINTER EVENINGS.

"He that receiveth a prophet in the name Of
a prophet, shall receive prophets reward. -
MATT. X: Al.
This passage plainly shows us that by
ga prophet is here to be understood
holy, religious, and good man; and the
meaning of the whole sentence is this:
e" lie that receiveth prophet - that is,
he that entertainment, assists, and patron
ICES a religious and good man, Sin the
name of prophet" that is, because he
is, and has the name and character of
good man, "shall receive a prophets re-
ward;" that is, is entitled TO, and shall
receive as great a reward as the religious
and good man himself. That he should
receive an equal reward is perfectly
agreeable to Divine justice, because, en-
tertainiug and assisting good and pious
man, from the sole consideration of his
goodness and piety, demonstrates heart
as much devoted to goodness and piety
as any action which the worthy object Of
his favor can possibly perform.
If this is true, the converse of the pro-
position must be true also; that is, he
who entertains, protects, and assists an
impious, and proAigate man, for the sake
of his views, is as criminal, and will re-
ceive as severe punishment, as the most
abandoned of his favorites: And this
with equal justice, because the approba-
ton of wickedness in others having no
temptation for an excuse, is more atroci-
Gus, and demonstrates more depraved
disposition than even the practice of it.
Hence, 1 have ever thought that the last
verse in the first chapter of Romans de-
scribed deeper, darker, more internal
depravity than any one verse in the BIZ

Bile. "Who knOwing the judgment of
God, that they which commit such
things that awful catalogue of abom
nations that the Apostle had recited-
are worthy Of death, not only do the
same, bat HAVE PLEASURE IN them that do
them." The seductions of pleasure, the
lure of interest, or the violence of our
passions, may be some sort of, though a
very poor apology, for the commission of
crimes, but to sit coolly by and view with
pleasure the iniquities and profigacies of
others, and to encourage them by our favor,
appreciation and rewards, demontrates a
disposition more completely depraved
than the commission Of them. But de-
praved as it is, we see instances of it
every day; we see the most impious and
profane, the most corrupt and dissolute.
sometimes the idols of the vulgar, and
more frequently the idols of those who
would not be called vulgar we see them
without any recommendation except their
vices, received, entertained, and caressed
by those who claim to be genteel, who
look with envy and admiration on de-
gree of proAicacy in them, which they
themselves are unable to arrive at.

PRAYER MEETINGs.-One of the points
in the lifelong contention between DR..
Minor and Bishop Hobart was the right
of the people to hold prayer meetings.
DR.. Minor, who had been leading law
yer and member of Congress, and was
every way the intellectual and social
superior of the two, persisted in encour-
aging such meetings among the congre-
CATION of old St. Georges, Beekman
street. One evening. when the parlours
of the old parsonage were full of people,
come to prayer-meeting, the bishop called
in person 10 enjoin the pastor to break
up the meeting. DR.. Minor said, with
dignity and frmness:-" Bishop, there
is meeting now assembled in my par
lour, engaged in prayer. If you choose
to order them to disperse, have nothing
to say-you are my bishop; but l cannot
do it." The Bishop took his hat and
departed, unable to look the people in
the face for such an unchristian object.

How does the believer become possessed
Of this blessed portion?
The answer is: By Gods sovereign
choice; by adopting mercy; by union to
Christ; by experimental enjoyment.
And who can tell the exceeding riches
of this blessing For
1. 1t is a present portion. Religion
not only brings future happiness, but
present comforts.
2. 1t is needful portion. Ask what
is The testimony Of Scripture-the expe-
rience of belevers-the joys of heaven
by its possession-the terrors of hell by
its loss. Do not all say it is needful?
3. 1t is an aH-su6fcient portion. Is
there not enough in God the Father, in
Christ the Saviour, in the Holy SPIRIT
the Comforter, for all we need? Enough
for life and death, for time and eternity.
4. 1t is an everlasting portion. Oh to
have a good portion when all earthly
things are at an end! Then, let the
world pass away; my treasure is not here.
Let the elements melt with fervent heat,
and all nature sink in ruin; | can rise
above it all, "For the Lord is my por-
tion, saith my sOol."

Luck and Labor.

Two boys left, last week, their country
homes to seek their fortunes in the city.
81 shall see what luck will do for me. I"
said one.
81 shall see what labor can do for
nae" cried the other.
Which is the better to depend upon,
luck or labor? Let us see.
Luck is always waiting for something
to turn up.
Labor aOiH turn up something.
Luck lies abed wishing.
Labor jumps up at six o'clock, and
with busy pen or ringing hammer lays
the foundation Of a competence.
Luck whines; labor whistles.
Luck relies on chances, labor on char
acter.
Luck slides down to Incidence.
Labor strides upwards to independence.
Whichis likely TO do most for you,
boys?-Child's Paper.

THE WORD PREsBYTERIAN.'-The
letters of this word can be so transposed
as to spell "best in prayer" but little
boy Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, has found
a newer definition for it. The child
evidently has quick ear and an inquir-
ing mind. The story is that Jimmy was
riding past church, and some one re-
marked, in passing, that it was Pres
byterian church. Papa" said Jimmy,
''what makes them call it a Presbyterian
church?" q don't know" said the
father; "Im not very well posted in such
matters. But l suppose it's only an
arbitrary name, to distinguish it from
other churches" Jimmy looked sober
and thoughtful for awhile, and then re-
piled, with all earnestness, " Well, 1 guess
it's called Presbyterian because the way
they preach there makes the tears come" :"
