A Choice of Routes to the National
Capital.
\ trip to Baltimore or Washington
from this section of the country need no
longer be limited to the single route
hitherto in vogue, for the Erie Railway
Company have recently perfected az
rangements for the sale OF tickets TO
that and other Southern points, by way
of New York City and the New York
and Washington Air Line road, thus
offering the traveller n choice of routes,
either by way OF Elmira and the North
ern Central Rail way, or by the new
route Just mentioned. Passengers are
thus enable 20 vary their journey to the
National Capital by a visit TO the Me
tropOlis, stopping over a few days, If
they desire, and reaching their destlna-
ton in eight hours from that city.

Envious people should not always
trust to first impressions. 4 venera-
bic Danbury lady of a rather credu-
lous turn of mind, and n poor stretch
of vision, saw 4 pair of grays dash
by her window, one day last week,
and in an agony of envy, she shook
her fist at the establishment, and
cried out, ride, darn We; it will be
my turn by-and-by." The handsome
grays were attached to a hearse.
a Detroit negro prisoner, on his
way to the p~enitentiary, for larceny,
was asked what he thought of his
trial. He said "When dat lawyer
dat Tended me made his speech, l
thought shuah l was going to take
my ole hat an walk right out oh dat
cot room but when de oder law
yer got up an commenced talking, l
knew / was de biggest rascal on top
of de earf."
Raphael did well, and Phidias did
well I; but it is not painter nor sculp-
tor who is making himself most nobly
immortal. 1t is he who is making
true impressions upon the mind of
man; frescoes for eternity, that will
not shine out till the light OF heaven
reveals them; sculptures, not wrought
in outward things, but in the inward
nature and character of the soul.
Every loving word that God speaks
TO US. acts back again, and makes
music in His heart He never says,
with a scowl, Here comes that poor,
limping sinner again" The path of
the sinner, back to God, is brighter
and brighter all the way up to the
smile of the face and the touch of the
hand; and that is salvation.
Men plant prayers and endeavors,
and go the next day to see if they
have borne graces. Now God does
not send graces as He sends light and
rain, but they are wrought in us
through long days of discipline and
growth. Acorns and graces sprout
quickly, but grow long before ripen-
ing.
California, writes q correspondent,
sis not the place for a poor nan bet
ter be in Illinois with five hundred
dollars, than in California with two
thousand dollars. The State is over
run with ~tradeless, mOneyless young
men, who never have money to pay
their way out of the State"
Amid the discords of this life, it
is blessed to think of heaven, where
God draws after him an everlasting
train of music; for all thoughts are
harmonious, and all things vocal, and
so there is round about His feet eter-
nal melody.
An excellent old deacon who, hay
ing won a fine turkey at q charity
rattle, didn't like to tell his severe
orthodox wife how he came by it,
quietly remarked, as he handed her
the foul, that the Shakers gave it
to him.
NOught is so small but it good may
