slow and pretty pitching. From this on the
Central Pacific nine threw wild and batted

catch flies. by their aground knocking, although
they got away with four. The Striped Stock.

In accordance with the arrangements made
between the Central Pacific Club. Of Carlin.
and the Striped Stockings, Of Elko, to play a
"home and home" game of baseball for a bat
and ball. the first game came off Mt Carlin on
Saturday last, resulting in the routing Of the
Carlin club by ifty.two tallies.
Saturday mornings west-bound train being
ten hours behind time, it was necessary to
make provisions for our club TO reach Carlin
by an extra train, when p. NJ. Elder, voluntar-
iiy came forward and perfected arrangements
with Superintendent Gillett 20 have an extra
train here at o'clock, defraying all the eI-
penses out OF his own pocket. This act Of
generosity on the part Of Mr.. Elder was highly
appreciated by the members of the club and
the citizens of Elko. A party of about sixty,
among whom were number of ladies. went
down to witness the match which resulted as

What Hinged upon a Moment.

Not long ago, walked the streets of old
Leicester, in England, taking an antigua
rian's interest in the scenes around me. At
one moment, gazed on bit of Roman wall /;
and the next, Norman arches met my view.
A little farther, and the associations were
connected with the last of the Plantagenets;
for, yonder. Richard III. slept the night be-
fore 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 ill-favored
visage of Richard, as | gave myself up to
the historic memories which rushed through
my mind. But there was spot of deeper
interest than these. | looked on the battered
walls of Leicester, and noted the breaches
which were made by the besieging army of
Cromwell; and, few PAGES farther, stood
where rollicking young royalist soldier was
posted within the walls as sentinel, who,
handling his musket awkwardly, was removed
from his post, and another man placed there
instead. The next minute the new sentinel
was shot dead. Had that fatal ball sped on
its way one moment sooner, there would
have been lost to the world one of its most
loved and honored names; for, in that case,
the name of John Bunyan would never have
been set as brighter jewel in the coronal
of fame; one moment sooner, and the grand
old dreamer of Bedford Jail would have been
cut off, and his glorious vision of the pilgrim;
to the Celestial City would never have
charmed generations of men of every land
and tongue.
Is it possible to estimate too highly the
worth of that one moment, which spread the
life of that wild, wicked young man; spared
him for reformation of character spared hin
for life so devoted, and work so great?
Can we contemplate an incident like this
without wondering with great admiration al
the providence of God ? Christian Banner

and found it was all dream; but the i'm
preston made upon my mind was very great.
When engaged in business, when walking
about, ever and anon the voice of the
preacher rung upon my ear, "Why don't
you place your feet upon the Rock?" 1t
startles me now. I ask myself the question,
Can it be possible that [ am not on the
Rock? 0, can it be that am standing up
on a narrow and unsubstantial foundation,
while the deep sea is all around me? And
is the Rock SO near that one step will bring
me safely on it?
My Christian brother, how is it with you
Are you sure that you are standing on the
Rock? ?" Poor fellow-sinner, how is it with
you? Let me echo the words of the elo-
quent minister, and shout to you as he did
to me, "Why don't you put your feet upon
the Rock2"

Nothing in the Paper"

The following spicy chapter, on the sub
ject of newspapers, we clip from an ex-
change-elicited, no doubt, by the too tre-
uuent remarks of the Indifferent reader, al
ter perusing the news of the day, that
"there's nothing in the paper" 1t says:
And men are always grumbling about
their papers, and insinuating how much bet
ter they could do it. They talk as fippant-
ly about fine articles" on every imaginable
subject as if they could effect such change.
Let some of these over-running philosophers
try 1t for one hundred and fifty days in sue
cession.
And then they think it is nothing to select
for newspaper; you have merely to run
the scissors through half dozen exchanges,
and you have got matter enough. Now, this
is the most important and the most difficult
department to fill on newspaper. Very
few men have the slightest idea how to do
the work. Itrequires thorough newspaper
man-who knows the public appetite well
who knows what is going on in the world,
and who knows how to re-write and pack a
column into dozen lines.
Men who skim newspaper and toss it
aside, little reflect how much brains and toll
have been expended in serving up that meal
Busy heads and busy hands have been toll.
ing all day to gather and prepare those vi
ands, and some vast building has been lit
from cellar to garrett all night, to get the
paper ready for the newsboy by crack Of
dawn.
Nothing in the paper" Nothing in
your head that's what's the matter.

One Sermon.

During the meeting of the General AS
sembly (Old SCHOOL, at indianapolis in 1859,
Rev. DR.. Plumer engaged to go to Craw-
louisville to preach on the Sabbath. Some
one said to him that he was sorry that he
must be away on that day. The Doctor re-
piled: ''I would not miss going and preach
ing sermon there for a thousand dollars. y
We shall never forget his reply. We don't
know what good results followed that SER
mon. Every man, however, should regard
the preaching of single sermon as great
privilege. We learn of one man, who per-
haps preached but single sermon in his life,
and that very short one. A great bless
ing, however, followed its delivery. And
what is very strange about the case was that
the preacher was very unwilling to preach
it, though he could have no doubt of his call
to do so. or of the truth of his message, or
as to the people to whom he was to deliver
it. AS so many were brought to repentance
under it. it must have been a suitable SER
mon. Here it is: yet forty days and Mn
even shall be overthrow" How short it is!
1t was, however, Gods word proclaimed by
his authority, and its effect, In bringing a
whole city of sinners to repentance, was be
cause of Gods blessing. Every minister is
called of God as was Jonah, has message
from the mouth of the Lord as had Jonah,
and field as was Nineveh. No one should
ever be unwilling to proclaim the truth
Every one should rejoice in every opportu-
nifty to preach the gospel. A single sermon
may be followed by far-reaching and glorious
result.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1870-04-06

hear preaching. We pass through the most
crowded streets of Hanchow, and | hear
people on every side, as they see US, saying,
"This is Sunday" It'll Oh all these crowd
ed streets, alas the one only sign of Sab
bath. The boys behave well at preaching.
In the school, they sometimes do bad things
and get whipped. Some of them have to
be whipped often, but believe the use OF
the rod only makes us the better friends.
What, then, do we hope for from this
school? Is it small work We are doing?
l think not. If it please the Lord, as l
trust it will, to raise up some of these boys
to be preachers to this people, the word they
are learning now may be sounded by them
far and wide through this land. They may
preach as no foreign missionary can ever
hope to preach here. 1t is great work we
are doing, and no one can tell how rich the
fruits will be, if we are only faithful.
In ending, then, this long letter, let me
beg you to think of these boys, to love them,
and pray for them. l have told them Of
you, and We have together prayed for you.
Remember that if you do not love them,
you gain nothing by what you do. What
reward have l or any other missionary here
for all we may do or suffer, unless We love
this nation? Though give my body to be
burned and have not love, there is no re-
ward. And so l say to you, as you send
your money to the poor Chinese, though you
give all your goods to feed the poor-yes,
to feed them with the bread of Gfe-and
have not love, you gain nothing. But if in
love, great will be your reward.
Your friend and fellow-worker,
M. HALE Houston.
