What Hinged Upon a Moment.

Not long ago, | walked the streets of old
Leicester In England, taking an antiquarian
interest IN the scenes around me. At one mo-
ment, | gazed on bit of Roman wall AMI the
next, Norman arches met my view. A little
farther, and the associations with the last of the
Piantagenets; for, yonder, Richard III, slept
the night before the battle of Bosworth Field:
here he crossed the River Soar as he marched
with his army to the conflict, and here his re-
mains lie buried. And could almost hear the
clash OF armor, and see the ilfavored yisape of
Richard, as gave myself up to the historic
memories which rushed through my mind
But there was spot of deeper interest than
these. L looked on the battered walls of Leices-
ter, and noted the breaches which were made by
the besieging army of Cromwell; and few
PAGES farther, stood where rolcking young
royallst soldier was posted within the walls as
sentinel, who handling his musket awkwardly,
was removed from his post, another man placed
there instead. The next minute the new sentinel
was shot dead. Had that fatal ball sped on it's
way one moment sooner, there would have
been lost to the world one ofits most loved most
honored names; for, In that case, the name of
John Bunyan would never have been set as a
bright jewel in the coronal of fame one mo-
ment sooner, aud the grand old dreamer of Bed
ford Jail would have been cut off, and his plori-
Gus vision of the pilgrims to the Celestial City
would never have charmed generations of men
of every land and tongue
Is 1t possible to estimate too highly the worth
OF that one moment, which spared the life of
that Wild wicked young man spared him for
lite SO devoted, and a work so great?
Can we contemplate an incident like this with
out wondering with great admiration at the pro-
videoce of God Christian Banner.

The Endless Qav.

Scripture silence is never more marked than
In regard to our future state. There is little in
the way of definite information touching our
hereafter to be found in the Bible. Much is
said IN tguratlve sense, and this is, indeed. a
solace. just bow much of it is fguratiye. who
can say?
Ut the few explicit statements made about
heaven there is nothing more beautiful and
satisfactory than this: There shall be no night
there. There is much night here. So often
the shadows come down over US, and shut us
out like shroud So sombre grow the even
ings, and SO few the stars 1t must be a radi-
ant country where it is daylight forever and
forever. =
Neither sorrow nor crying Night brings
sorrow frequently Sorrowtmakes night when
ever sorrow comes. Many are the mornings
bright and golden, which are turned into dark.
est night ere the noon time. Thank God, all
ye sorrowIng ones, that there is coming morn
ing which shall be dimmed by never cloud
which shall shine on through the ages of eter-
nifty unchanged.
There may be no gates of pearl, no streets of
gold-all this may be figurative as regards that
heaven most of US hope for, but let us believe
that In heaven there will be an endless day
Ye image breakers who would spoil our pretti-
est picture of the future by declaring all revela-
ton only fgurative spare us this literal. Literal
our inner natures declare it. All who sorrow
and weep would go wild with despair in their
sorrowing and weeping did they not have faith
In an actual freedom from grief and tears by
and by. SO let US comfort ourselves in the belief
which is tender and comforting as words of
peace can be-'There shall be no night there

Treasures.

Every man is treasuring up stores for etern;.

where moth and rust doth not corrunt the
evil impenltent are ''treasuring up wrath against
the day Of wrath" What an idea is this -
Treasures of wrath Whatever the impenitent
man is doing, he is treasuring up wrath. He
may be getting wealth but he is treasuring up
wrath. He may be getting fame; but he is
treasuring up wrath. He may be forming pleas
ing connections, but he is also treasuring up
wrath. Every day adds something to the heap.
Every oath the swearer utters there is some
thing gene to the heap ofWrath Every lie the
liar tells, every lcentious act the lewd man
commits, adds something to the treasure of
| wrath. The sinner has a weightier treasure of
wrath to-day than he had yesterday he will
have weightier one tomorrow than he has
to-day When he lies down at night he is rich
er in vengeance than when he arose in morning.
| He is continually deepening and darkening his
eternal portion. Every neglected Sabbath in
creases his store of wrath; every forgotten ser.
mon adds something to weight of punishment
/ All the checks of conscience, all the remon.
strances Of friends, all the advice and PRAYERS
1 of parents will be taken into account, and all
will tend to increase the treasures of wrath Laid
up against the day of wrath. '"'''

shabby coat. A sudden idea struck Lamartine,
and calling out, Monsieur, you are forgetting
your overooat,' he quickly took down an over
coat that was hanging in the passage, and as
sisted his needy visitor to put it on with SO
much dexterity and grace, that the poor man,
quite overcome, did not know how to refuse q
gilt which was so delicately offered to him.

Education Of the Agrieulturist

Daniel Webster said "No man is so high
as to be independent of the success of this
great interest no man is SO low as not to be
affected by its prosperity or decline. The cul-
tiyation Of the earth is the most important la
Dor Of man. Man may be civilized, in some
degree, without great progress IN manufactures,
and with little commerce with his distant
neighbors, but without cultivation OF the earth,
he is. 10 all countries, a savage Until he
place and seeks living from the earth, he is a
roaming barbarian. When tia begins, 9th.
ser arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the
founders of human civilization. 7"

THE CHRISTIANS TRIUMPH. the
many incidents connected with the terrible dis
aster at Richmond, we read of one that is pc
culiarly touching, and which deserves to be
remembered, showing as it does the Christian s
triumph in the hour of death A member OF
the Legislature, in describing his fall, says that
he heard a number Of cries about him. Some
were shouting for help, others talking of their
