The Place of Safety.

Charles Lamb, in that remarkable chap
ter, 'The Confession of Drunkard, - tells
US most pathetically of the utter worthless
ness of exhortation against the use of drunk
enness. Safety, he says, is in that one
word abstain" and if you ask the ques-
ton, as there no middle way betwixt total
abstinence and the excess which kills you
.........For your sake, and that you may
never attain to my experience, with pain
must utter the dreadful truth, there is none,
none that l can find" And then he adds
those most plaintive words of confession
and warning-"Could the youth to whom
the favor of his first wine is delicious as
the opening scenes of life, or the entering
upon some newly discovered paradise, look
into my desolation, and be made to under
stand what drearv thing it Is when 4 man
shall feel himself going down precipice
with open eyes and a passive will-to see
his destruction and have no power to STOP
it, and yet to feel it all the way emanating

A Heavenly F ather.

The Rev Samuel Klpin gives the fol-
lowing account Of his son:
On one occasion, when he had offended
me, deemed it right to manifest displeas-
ure and when he asked a question about
the business of the day, was short and
reserved in my answers TO him. An hour
or more elapsed. The time was nearly ar
rived when he was to repeat his lessons.
He came into my study, and said, Papa, l
cannot learn my lesson except you are rec
onciled: am very sorry have offended
you; hope you will forgive me; think
| shall never offend again"
Ireplied, "All I want is to make you
sensible of your fault: when you acknowl-
edge it, you know l am easily reconciled
with you"
Then, papa" said he, give me the
token of reconciliation, and seal it with a
kiss" The hand was given, and the seal
most heartily exchanged on each side.
''Now," exclaimed the dear boy, q will
learn Greek and Latin with anybody" and
was fastening to his study.
"Stop, stop l called after him; "have
you not heavenly Father? If what you
have done has been evil, he is displeased
and oumust apply to him for forgiveness
With tears starting in his eyes, he said
Papa, went to him first; know thai
except he was reconciled, could do moth
ing" As the tears fast rolled down hi:
cheeks, he added, Il hope he has forgiven
me and now I am happy" never haC
occasion to speak to my boy again in tone
of disapprobation.

Burial of our Dead.

1t has always seemed singular to us that
we should hand over our dead into the
hands of strangers. We nurse and watch
over them with the vigilance and devotion
of love until the breath is gone and the eye
is set in death, and then we give them in
to the care of others-almost hire strangers
to weep for us over our dead Now, this
is not right. Could any thing be more in
place, look more beautiful, than that chill
dren should bear dear father or beloy-
ed mother to the grave? When we could
not walk, and our feet stumbled, and our
knees were weak, they lifted US up and
bore us tenderly in their strong arms and
on their beating bosoms, and, nesting up
our tired feet aud hands, they sang US to
sleep and laid US to rest in the old cradle
And now that they can walk no more,
and their feet are sore, and they have fall
len by the way, with their quiet, tired IA
ces turned up to us in the solemn patience
of parental love, why shall We not take

side, and nestle them away to rest in its
bed under the old oak tree, even though
our hearts are too full for song. And why
should a father not preach his child's fune.
raj sermon, if he be preacher? One such
instance we have. When the noble bud
ley A. Tying was carried to his grave, hi:
venerable father stood up in his sons pull
pit so suddenly made vacant by an awfu
death, and preached a funeral Sermon
And it was a great tribute he brought t
his child. The words were a fathers

The Cross of Christ.

The cross of Christ IL the sweetest bur
den that ever l bore it is such burden
as wings are to bird, or as sails to ship
to carry me forward to my desired haven
Those who by faith see the invisible Goo
and the fair city, make no account of pres
ent losses and crosses.
Truly, it is a glorious thing to follow the
Lamb; 1t is the highway to glory; bu
when you see him in his own country a
home, you will think you never saw hin
before.
More than Christ I can neither wish no
pray, nor desire for you. | AN sure tina
the saints are at best but strangers to tn,
weight aud worth of the incompatible ex
celience Of Christ. We know not the hal
of what we love when we love him.
That Christ and the sinner should b.
one, aud should share heaven between them
is the wonder of salvation; what NOR
could love do?-R,theJord's Letters.

Prayinq, Believing and Watching.

Is it not a sad thing that we should
think it wonderful for God to hear prayer :?
Much better faith was that of little boy
in one of the schools in Edinburgh, who
had attended a prayer meeting, and at last
said to his teacher who conducted it,
Teacher, l wish my sister could be got
to read the bible she never reads it."
"Why, johnny, should your sister read
the bible?"
Because if she should once read it, l
am sure it would do her good, and she
would be converted and saved
"Do you think so, JOHNNY ,"
eyes, do, sir; and wish the next time
there is a prayer meeting you would ask
the people to pray for my sister, that she
may begin to read the bible"
"Well, well, it shall be done, John"
SO the teacher gave out that a little boy
was very anxious that prayer should be
offered that MS sister might begin to read
the bible. John was observed to get up
! anu ~ OuI. 1 uE LGdSlICI kHuuSlI IL AGl y
rude Of the boy to disturb the people in a
crowded room, and so the next day when
the lad came, he said:
John l thought it was very rude of you
to get up in the prayer meeting and go out
You ought not to have done So"
ooh, sir" said the boy, Il did not NEAR
to be rude; but l thought I should JUS
like to 90 home and see my sister reading
her bible for the first time"
Thus we ought to believe and watch
with expectations foranswers to our prayer
Do not say, Lord, turn my darkness int
light" and then go out with your candl,
as though you expected to find it dark
After asking the Lord TO appear for you
expect him to do so, for according to your
faith, so be it unto you.-"Fe1tbers for Ar-
ro,rs," By c. H. Spurge0n.

Veracity.

How true is Christ's saying-"Let your
communication be yea, yea, nay, nay; for
whatsoever is more than this cometh of
evilp And it is in fact practicable. We
can easily bring ourselves to do without all
this swearing and protestation, if we are
only not frivolous in our assertions, nor ex-
aggerated, and never Intentionally tell an
untruth. How much it exalts the dignity

Every word we speak for Christ is pour
ing oil on the fires Of grace in our own
heart, and will make them burn with an
ardor otherwise unknown. The christian
will find, that while, before he commenced
this course, he had thousand questioniugs
and difficulties, after he has done so, he
will scarcely have an hours trouble with
himself. The truth seems to be this
Christ is so kind and unexacting master,
that he will not let his servants fight two
battles at once; if they will take the sword
and go into the enemy's camp, he will KEEP
the citadel for them; if they will be about
his business, he will set their hearts en-
tirely at rest.

Some Features of a Jewish Sabbath.


Let us accompany good orthodox jew
ish family through their calm and cheer
full Sabbath, and see how they keep it and
enjoy it. | select an orthodox family, in
stead of a Reformed" merely because the
orthodox Jew is an historical person; as
he keeps his Sabbath, his fathers have kept
it for many centuries.
The Jewish Sabbath begins on Friday
evening half an hour before sunset, and
ends on Saturday evening half an hour af-
ter sunset, or when a star is visible in the
sky. On Friday, the day of preparation,
the women and girls of the family are busy
in providing for the morrow the best food
drank during the joyous sacred hours must
be the very best the family can afford
Poor Jews will pinch all the week in order
that there wives and children may have
something delicious to eat on the Sabbath.
But that savory food must be cooked or
prepared for cooking before the Sabbath
begins; for our Israeltish brethren OBJ
serve with just strictness the law which
gives rest on the Day of rest to their SER
wants. They shame US in this particular
They will not use even their horses on
their Sabbath. On Sunday, about twelve,

A holy life is made up of a number of
small things. Little words, not eloquent
speeches or sermons-little deeds, not mir
acles, not battles, nor one great heroic act,
or mighty martyrdom, make up the true
christian life. The little constant sunbeam
not the lightning-the waters of Siloah
"that 60 softly in their meek mission Of
refreshment, not "the waters of the river,
great and many" rushing down in torrent
noise and force, are the true symbols of a
holy life. The avoidance of little evils,
little sins, little inconsistencies, little weak
nesses, little follies,. little indiscretions and
imprudences, little foibles, little indulgen-
ces of self and of the flesh-the avoidance
of such little things as these goes far to
make up. at least the negative beauty of a
holy life.

Overthrow OF the Pope.

Rev. ;. IrenGus Prime, ID. D., having
replied to some criticisms in a newspaper
of this city, proceeded: as there a living
freeman on this earth who does not rejoice
before God that that hoary despotism-the
papal sovereignty-is gone down? That
themost oppressive, tyrannical government,
the most opposed to railways, to telegraphs,
to bibles, to free schools-that such gov
eminent has fallen, like Lucifer, never to
rise again? -Four years ago 1 was in Rome,
and was pleasantly associated with Scotch
clergyman, who was holding every Sab
bath day a religious service in his own
hired house, with few British and Amer
lean christians. But while was there, an
order came TO this Scotch preacher, telling
him that he was violating the law Of the
city, and exposed himselfto the Inqusition !;
he must stop that preaching, or the Inqui-
sition would put its loving arms about him
ard crush him in its fatal hug. The In
QUESTION was an existing institution in
Rome three weeks ago; and is it nothing
TO thank God for that it exists no longer 2
In IS4S, whom for Grief hour the Repub-
licans held Rome, during the flight of this
Pope, the dungeons and pit of that internal
Inquistion were opened, and out of the
depths were drawn up remnants of cloth
ing, and human bones, and long locks of
human hair-woman's hair-the CHASTITY
relics ofhapless victims Of religious persecu-
ton and hate in the 10Th century Of Christs
era.
THAT is what is meant by the POpe's
temporal power. 1t was wrecked on the
shoals Of infallibility. In the pride of his
heart, the Pope called his captains and
counselors and mighty men together from
the four winds Of heaven, and feasted them
in his palace, and they became drunk with
pride and vain glory, and cried out, He is
