For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
OUR AsCENDED LORD.

What change it was to the blessed Je-
sus when he "ascended on high" No more
to be ga man of sorrows and acquainted
with grief" no more contradiction of sin
ners against himself" no more agony in the
garden, nor bufetings and scOurgings. No
more shall he be nailed to the Cross amid
the cruel mockings of men "He dieth no
more: death hath no more dominion over
him" The head that once wore "crown
of thorns," is now crowned with glory and
honor"
Among the precious things connected with
our Redeemer's ascension is this: He as
cendsd as Our representative. Two of the
Old Testament saints had gone up to heaven
before this, EnOch and Elijah. They as
cended as private individuals. But when
Jesus entered into glory, he opened wide
the door into the kingdom of heaven. That
door be left opeu-as much as to say
"Many more are coming after me-" Christ
was only the "forerunner of multitude
which no man can number, out of all ma
tons, and kindreds, and people, and tongues" "
And, o, how our faith ought to follow
this assembled Saviour Let US be risen with
him. How strange that we do not long to
depart and be with him. When dear Chris
tian friends have departed and gone to
heaven, it has made the attractions of earth
less and the attractions of heaven greater.
They still leave the precious dust behind, in
which we claim an interest. But nothing of
the Saviour remains upon earth. His body
saw no corruption-did not return to dust:
it was "received up into heaven"
And how we ought to "hOld fast our pro
fsssion." Why? "Seeing we have a great
High Priest that is passed into the heavens. !"
Peter, for little while, denied his Lord, but
it was when he was at Pilates bar-his di-
vinity under cloud. If we deny him and
thus let go our profession, it is when he has
gone to glory, and with the crown upon his
head
What blessed encouragement We have
a brother at court. His arm is underneath
us. His heart is made Of tenderness. Soon
he will come in like manner as he went into
heaven. Let me wait and pray and long for
his appearing. Let me be sure that am
ready for it. Il viii come again and re-
ceiye you unto myself" Even so, come,
Lord Jesus" OLD PILGRIM.

Where is Your Boy?

We saw him last evening in the company
of very bad boys, and they each had a cigar,
and now and then some of them used very
profane language. AS we looked at your
son we wondered if you knew where he was,
and with whom he associates. Dear friend,
do not be so closely confined to your shop,
office or ledger, as to neglect that bog. He
will bring sorrow into your household if you
do not bring proper parental restraint to
bear upon him--and that very soon. Sab
bath and public school teachers can help

DR.. Froude. the Historian.

DIR. FrOude, was recently installed rector OF
the University of st. Andrews, Scotland, IN
the presenceo of large assent lage of students
and the public. In his inaugural address
he made some remarks on Commercial Mo,
rality, it may be well to copy:
eve have had thirty years of unexam-
pied clerical activity among US; churches
have been doubled; theological books, mag
azines, reviews, newspapers, have been
poured out by the hundreds of thousands;
while by the side of it, there has sprung up
an equally astonishing development of moral
dishonesty. From the great houses in the
city of London to the village grocer, the
commercial life of England has been satu-
rated with fraud. So deep has it gone,
that strictly honest tradesman can hardly
hold his ground against competition. You
can no longer trust that any article you buy
is the thing which it pretends tc be. We
have false weights, false measures, cheating
and shoddy every where Yet the clergy
have seen all this grow up in absolute indit-
ference; and the great question which at
this moment is agitating the Church of Eng
land is the color of the ecclesiastical petit
coats.
"Many hundred sermons have | heard
in England; many dissertation on the
mysteries of the faith, on the divine mission
of the clergy, on apostolical succession, on
bishops, on justification, and tbeH
good works and verbal ed
efficacy of the sacraments; buc1~as!
these thirty wonderful years, never onethat
/ can recollect on common honesty, or those
primitive commandments, Thou shalt not lie,
and Thou shalt not steal.
'The late Bishop Bloomfield used to tell
story of his having been once, late in life,
at the University Church at Cambridge, and
of having seen verger there whom he re-
membered when he was himself an under
graduate. The bishop said he was glad to
see him looking so well at such a great age.
80 yes, my lord the fellow said, I have
much to be grateful for. have heard every
sermon which has been preached in this
church for fifty years; and, thank God, l
am Christian still
"Classical philosophy, classical history
and literature, taking as they do no hold
upon the living hearts and imagination Of
men in this modern age, leave their work
ing intelligence prey to wild imaginations,
and make them incapable of really under
standing the world in which they live. If
the clergy knew as much of the history Of
England and Scotland as they know about
Greece and Rome; if they had been ever
taught to open their eyes and see what is
actually around them, Instead of cropping
among books to find what men did or thought
at Alexandria or Constantinople fifteen hun
dred years ago, they would grapple more
effectively with the moral pestilence which
is poisoning all the air"

Slurs on Woman.

At recent meeting, at which no ladies
were present, in responding to the toast on
"Woman," speaker dwelt almost solely on
the frailty of the sex, claiming that the best
among them were little better than the worst,
the chief difference being in the surround
ings. At the conclusion of the speech a
gentleman present rose to his feet and said
81 trust the gentleman, in the application
of his remarks, refers to his own mother and
sisters, and not to ours"
The effect of this most just and timely re-
Duke was overwhelming; the maligner of
woman was covered with confusion and
] fMg sexcellent purpose
in prefacifs few words which we have for
a long time had it in our mind to say. OF
all the evils prevailing among young men,
we know of none more blighting in its moral
effects than the tendency to speak sighting
ly of the virtue of woman. Nor is there any
thing in which young men are SO thoroughly
mistaken as the low estimate they form Of
the integrity of woman-not of their own
mothers and sisters, thank God, but of others,
who they forget are somebody else's mothers
and sisters.
AS rule, no person who surrenders to this
debasing habit is safe to be trusted with any
enterprise requiring integrity of character.
Plain words should be spoken on this point,
for the evil is a general one, and deep-rooted.
If young men are sometimes thrown into
the society of the thoughtless, they have no
more right to measure other women by what
they see Of these than they would have to
estimate the character of honest and respecta.
BILE citizens by the developments of crime in
our police courts.
Let young men remember that their chief
happiness in life depends upon their utter
faith in woman. No worldly wisdom, no
misanthropic philosophy, no generalization,
can cover or weaken this fundamental truth.
1t stands like the record of God Himself
for it is nothing less than this-and should
put seal upon lips that are wont to speak
slightingly of women.-Packard's Monthly.

A Lie Sticks.

A little newsboy, to sell his paper, told a
lie. The matter came up in Sabbath School.
"WOuld yOu tell lie for three cents? ?"
asked teacher of one of the boys.
"No, ma'am," answered Dick, very de-
cidedly.
'FOr ten cents?"
"No, ma am"
"For dollar?"
''No, ma am.
''For thousand dollars?"
Dick was staggered. A thousand dollars
looked big. o, would it not buy lots of
things? While he was thinking, another
boy roared out, No, ma an, behind him.
"Why not? asked the teacher.
because, when the thousand dollars is
all gone, and all the things they've got with
them are gone too, the lie is there all the
same, answered the boy.
1t is so. A lie sticks. Everything else
may be gone, but that is left, and you will
have to carry it round with you whether you
will or not; hard heavy load it is.
