SAVED BY HOPE.

The servants of Jesus are like
the rowers in a boat. They sit
with their backs to the bow, and
can not see what lies ahead.
But the helmsman at the stern is
on the lookout, and he steers the
boat whithersoever he will. So
in our godly undertakings we sit
with our backs to the future. 1t
is all unknown, untried and i'm
penetrable. We know not what
the morrow may bring forth.
But it is our business to pull at
the oar of prayer and earnest Ia
Dor. There is a divine Helms
man who sees the future, and who
holds the rudder in his hand.
We have only to commit our way
to him, and to pull at the oar of
duty. This is trust. This is faith.
This is the way that Paul pulled
his boat toward Rome-not know
ing or caring what stripes and
imprisonments, or what triumphs
of the Gospel were awaiting him
there. What a blessed thing it
is that we can not forsee the fu-
ture! We might be so paralyzed
by the perils, or the difficulties,
or the sufferings before US, that
we would drop the oars in despair.
What a mercy it is that a mother
does not know all that shall be-
fall the child of her bosom
What mercy that we ministers
do not know what failures we
have got to encounter during the
year of labor on which we are
just entering! Every true Chris
tan toiler is continually "saved
by hope" He pulls at. the oa1
and trusts.-Rey. r. L. CuZyer.

LOWEST THOU ME?'

| suppose there is no event in
the whole life of Christ to which,
in hours of doubt or fear, men
turn with more anxious thirst to
know the close facts of it, OF
with more interest and passionate
dwelling upon every syllable OF
its recorded narrative, than
Christ showing himself to His
disciples at the lake of Gallilee.
There is something pre-eminent-
ly open, natural, full fronting our
disbelief in this manifestation.
The others, recorded after the in
surrection, were sudden, phantom
like, occurring to men in profound
sorrow and wearied agitation of
heart not, it might seem, safe
judges of what they saw. But
the agitation was now over.
They had gone back to their daily
work, thinking still their business
lay net-wards, ,unmeshed from the
literal rope and drag.
0Simon Peter saith unto them,
Il go a fishing.'"
"They say unto him, sWe also
go with thee.'"
True words enough, and having
far echo beyond those Gallilean
hill. That night they caught
nothing but when the morning
came, in the clear light of it, be-
hold a figure stood on the shore.
They were not thinking of any
thing but their fruitless hauls.
They had to guess who it was.
1t asked them simply if they had
caught anything. They said, No.
And it tells them to cast yet
again. And John shades his eyes
from the morning sun with his
hand, to see who tits; and though
the glinting of the sea, too, daz-
zles him he makes out who it is,
at last and poor Simon, not to
he outrun this time, tightens his
fishers coat about him, and dashee
mover the nets. One would have
liked to see him swim those hun
dred yards, and stagger to his
knees on the beach.
Well, the others get to the
beach, too, in time. in such slow
way as men in general do get,
in this world, to its true shore,
much impeded by that wonder
full "dragging the.net with fishes;;''
but they get there,seyen Of them
in all first the dernier, and then
the slowest believer, and then
the quickest believer, and then
the two throne-seekers, and then
two more, we know not who.
They sit down on the shore,
face to face with him, and eat
their broiled fish as he bids. And
then, to Peter, all dripping still,
shivering and amazed, staring at
Christ, in the sun on the other
side of the coal fre-thinking a
little, perhaps, of what happen
ed by another coal fire, when it
was colder, and having had no
word once changed with him by
his Master since that look of his

question, ,"Simon, lowest thou mer

BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT.

That was a beautiful idea ex.
pressed by a Christian lady on
her death-bed, in reply to a re.
mark of her brother, who was
taking leave of her to return to
his distant residence, that he
should probably never meet hel
in the land Of the living. "Broth.
er, / trust we shall meet in the
land of the living. We are now
in the land of the dying"

THE WATCHERS.

The joy felt in heaven for the
rescue of single human soul is
something higher than we have
any conception of. A faint idea
was conveyed to me by a friend
in Scotland, who had witnessed a
deeply interesting scene in one
of its bays.
On a dark and wild night, a
small fishing boat was expected
back there was no lighthouse
to guide its course; the wind
howled, the storm ragged, and the
surf dashed madly over the bar
of the harbor. Gathered round
the bay, on every available spot
of ground from whence a glimpse
of the boat might be obtained,
were the inhabitants of the ham
let. Atfrst they seemed power
less, but, quickly, beacon fires
were kindled on both sides of the
harbor, which was very narrow
at its entrance. Fresh fuel was
placed on these occasionally /;
those who fed the fires never flag
ged, those who watched never
seemed weary. An intense and
almost breathless suspense held
the assembled multitude, as, out
at sea, might be seen at times a
little black spot, now seen for a
moment, now again hidden from
view in the hollows of the waves.
The boat approached nearer and
nearer the dangerous coast; there
was little, very little chance of
its escape. Expectation was
strained to the utmost when the
boat appeared at the crest of the
wave almost in the harbor. One
moment would decide the doom of
the brave men who were toiling
for life in the midst of the dan
ger, and in the presence of those
they loved. 1t was agony. At
last the waves seemed to rise to
an immense hight, and the boat
which was but plaything in
their giant grasp, was hurled
safely into the harbor.
A woman, whose nerves had
been strained to the utmost, was
standing beside my friend. Now
that all was safe, she uttered the
cry,e"He is saved /! he is saved "
and tainted away. Itwas wife's
cry. We are but at best as the
watchers of that bay; we may
indeed light the fires, and give
some intimation to those who
are in danger of perishing where
there is safety for them, even in
the love of Jesus the Savior.
When, through our instrumental
ity, soul is saved, the joy to
us ought to be great, but it is far
greater in heaven.

Passed her angelic form away
Perished with the autumn flower,
All Of her that could decay.
We shall miss her Oft, and often
Miss that smile and childish glee;
Miss that form that's now adorning
Mansions Of eternity.
But well meet her in the future,
When life's dreary days have flown,
Meath the crystal dome of heaven,
Mid the angels round His throne.
OH lay her meath the branches
Of the never fading pine
Symbol of our hearts great sorrow,
Living through all age and time.
Place her in a quiet corner
IL the city of the dead,
Where the birds can sing at even,
Cndisturbed above her head.
Pealing natures own Angelus,
That on earth she loved to hear,
Where her friends in peace may wander,
To shed in sympathy tear.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
snd COnsuInDtiOu.

and Consumption
Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has any thing won SO widely and so
deeply upon the confidence of mankind as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through long series of years, and among most
of the races of men it has risen higher and higher
in their estimation, has become better known.
Its uniform character and power TO cure the va
rious affections of the lungs and throat, have
made it known as q reliable protector against
them. While adapted to milder forms of disease
and to young children, it is at the same time the
most ehectual remedy that can be given for incip-
lent consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. As provision against
sudden attacks of Group, it should be kept on
hand in every family, and indeed as all are some
times subject to colds and coughs, all should be
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption IS thought IN
curabie, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured and the patient restored TO sound health
by the Cherry Pecfordt. So complete Is its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Throat that the most obstinate of them yield to IL
When nothing else could reach them, under the
Chey.ry Pecforaf they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great
protection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pecf0rdi in small and frequent doses
So generally are its virtues known, that we
need not publish the certificates of them here, or
do more than assure the public that its qualities
are fully maintained.

Ladies' Boots.
F. S Z A l.,

Has just received a new inven-
ton, in the way of an improve
ment in Ladies' Boots. The boot is
made high in the leg, with elastic
sides. The improvement consists
in arranging the elastic and lin
ing, that the elastic will clasp the
ankle; and the lining, while pro-
tecting the elastic from the sweat
of the foot, will also yield to its
contraction and expansion. Its
great beauty is this: that it is
easy to put on, fits snugly when
on, and protects the foot and limb
from cold. 1t will certainly be a
favorite with the ladies. Samples
can be seen at his shop.
Mr.. Seal has the sole right for
this town and township.
