SELFISHNEsS IN RELIGION.

The worst of all places in which to display
it or to hide it! A friend thus utters IL warn
ing. wish to ask those who minister daily
ut the altar, whether they sufficiently warn
their hearers that it is rs easy to be selfish in
religion us in anything else, and that selfish
ness is the opposite of true religion? | have
often listened to the statements of protesting
Christians in prayer meetings declaring how
much they love Christ because He has done
so much for them, and is going ut last to take
them to II beautiful home above, yet no word
of caution was spoken that there is danger
of trusting for salvation to a love founded on
Etvors alone How natural for us to love
those who love us; yet no conversion is nee
essary for such II love. Christ says, "For if
We love them which love you, what reward
have We? DO not even the pubcans the
sameP" We may be grateful for fnvors with
out being selfish, but we cannot he selfish
and at tue same time grateful. If we would
truly love Cod we must love Him for his
goodness, which is an attribute of His char
acter, and is manifested not only to us, but
to others also in purposes fjustice to those
who are lost. We must love Him not only
in the sunshine, but also in the shadow,
when dark clouds prevent the bright shining
of the sun. God always remains the same
worthy object of love, whatever may be our
condition in this life, or in that which is to
come. FIVE are not saved it will not de-
tract from His goodness, or lessen our obi
cations to love Him.

THE REFINER OF SILVER.

a few months ago, II few ladies who met
together IN Dublin to read the Scriptures,
and make them the subject of conversation,
were reading the Sd chapter of Malachi.
One of the ladies gave ms her opinion that
the Fuller's Soap and Refner of Silver was
the same image. the sanctifying influence of
the grace of Christ: while another remarked
that there is something remarkable in the
expression of the third verse;
''lIe shall sit us rener and purifier of
silver"
They agreed that possibly it might be so,
and one of the ladies promised to call on Il
silversmith and report to them what he said
on the subject. She went accordingly. and
without telling the object of her GRAND. beg
ged to know from him the process of refining
silver, which he fully described to her.
But, sir, - said she, do you sit while the
work of refining is going on9"
"Oh, yes, madam, replied the silvcrsmith.
81 must sit with my eyes steadily fixed on
the furnace, for if the time necessary for re-
filming he exceeded in the slightest degree.
the silver is sure to be injured" At once
she saw the beauty, and the comfort, too. of
the expression. ale shall sit as refner and
purifier of silver
Christ sees it needful to put his children in
to the furnace: and He is seated by the side
of it. His eye steadily intent on the work of
purifying, and His wisdom and love are both
engaged in the best manner for them Their
TRIALS do not come ut random; the very hairs
of their heads are all numbered. As the la
dy was leaving the shop, the silversmith call
ed her back and saidlth't he had still furtll-
or to mention that he only knew when the
process of purifying was complete by seeing
his own image reflected in the silver
Beautiful figure, When Christ sees Ills
own image in His people, His work of puri-
flying is accomplished.

THE RAILROAD RACE FOR THE NEW NORTH
WEST


Every day is rendering it more apparent
that this community never made wiser
or more timely decision than when on the
9th OF Nov, it voted unanimously that the
Superior and Northwestern r r, be built
without further delay. This short, but
extremely valuable commercial route, align
ing Us rs it does with the direct track and
trade of the Northern Pacific Railroad, and
furnishing the shortest and most practic-
able outlet to Lake Superior for that giant
thoronghfare, has been assured to us just in
time to give the coming city of Superior
its proper place, which will be very high
one, in the estimation and plans of the rail
road enterprises seeking this quarter of the
world. It has impressed the minds Of all
thinking men for year past that the CON
struction Of the Northern Pacific to the Red
River would be fact of sufficient import
ancc and significance to arouse the railroad
and commercial interests of the central
west to an immediate effort at securing the
lions share Of the magnificent trade thus
seen in prospective.
The case had been well argued in the
hearing of these interests for years before,
but sluggish and impassive, save at the
lthuriel touch Of fact, they laid no lines
and built no roads in this direction, EXCEPT
as local links dragged along the slow length
OF railway extension to the wide northwest
Working in that way, it might have been a
quarter Of century yet, ere the selfish
short sighted policy of countryrairoads had
seen fit to crawl reluctantly through the
wilderness OF North Wisconsin, and emerge
on the ST. Croix, or at the head of Lake
Superior.
3ut one summer campaign Of the North
crn Pacific has changed ali that The rapid
building Of that controlling route through
the most fertile belt of the continent, has
neccssitated the NEST active policy on the
part Of all roads that have the remotest
intention of forming any advantageous CON
nection Herewith, and consequently We be
hold sudden crowding of railways in this
direction from all quarters. Forced march
IS make up for past lethargy. The racing
routes keepItime to the lively music Of the
Northern Pacific tracklayers and are each
straining every nerve to reach the respective
tcrmini of the n p Il. r., on the Missis-
sippi, and Oh Lake Superior in advance Of
all others. Il
We have seen all the season the rapid
shortening oftheroutc between Chicago and
St Paul ThePrairie du Chen road, so great
2 convenience compared with the stsging
ola few years ago, gives way to the Wlnona
Cutoff, and that to the " est Wisconsin
Il. Il. that reached the St. CroiX valley at.
Hudson on Tuesday last, and will term
mate at St. Paul by January. The Central
Wisconsin pushes along with great celebrity
directly toward Lake Superior. Oshkosh
seeks a twelve mile connection with that
important road, and Milwaukee desires soon
to tap it via Oshkosh or Menasha. Our \.
L. outlet prepares us to receive the Central
and all it brings and controls.

a BIT OF HISTORY.

There are many tragedies connec-
ted with the overland stage road, the
most notable of which was enacted
but few rods from where L am
writing. In the year 1853, three
young men having made a little
stake in California were travelling
along the overland road, on their
way to their homes in the Estates.
A few stations west of here they
were overtallen by two young men,
one a mere boy, and as was natural
under the circumstances, an ac-
ouaintance was formed. The par
ties Travelled in company until reach
ing Schell Creek, where they camped
for the night. Here the Oldest of
the two last named. conceived the
fendish desigl Of killing his fellow
travellers ana succeeded in inducing
his partner to assist him IN its execu-
ton. J. was arranged between
them that slsey sheald altaek them
with axes. while asleep, the Older
agreeins to dispafea two, and the
the bow ffiiiss,renlainieg one. Watch
their chance wi.es1 the victims were
w,ap ped IN sluinb +. they made the
attack-ffe eldest koepiness his agree
meut. Sunk his axe deep IN the brain
-ee the A.aapars. The younger one
seems to have weakened. aud only
stunned his man, Who arose stag
gering from his blankets, seeing
which his companion in crime,
seized a fire brand, ana striking his
victim across the eyes, blinded him,
and then finished him with the axe.
Stripping the dead men of tleir
money and horses, they pushed on.
on their journey eastward. But the
avenger vas on their track. The
crime was discovered soon after its
commission, and number OF men
started on the trails and overlook
the murdarars at River Bed Station,
on the Back Rock Desert. On be-
ing charged, they confessed the
crime, and the party which captured
them brought thein. back to the
scene of their heartless crime, and
On the very spot where the crime
was committed put 4 rope around
their necks aad launched them into
eternity. They showed no signs OF
contritiOn for their crime, and when
asked if they had anything to say,
replied with jesting remarks. The
spot where the tragedy occurred is
marked with two graves-in one of
which lie the bodies OF the two mur-
derers, and in the other those of the
murdered ones. There is nothing to
tell the story but two boards from
which the pencil Inscriptions have
faded. Van Jaquelin says that heI
always heard that The grass grows
green on the graves OF the just and
unjust alike, but in this case it IS
not so. The grave of the murdered
is bare. That of the murderers Is
covered with verdure. = Schell

One evening John Smith had
been dipping rather too deeply into
the conyival bowl with a friend, and
on emerging into the air, his intel
lect became in considerable degree
confused, and not being able to dis
tinguish objects with any degree of
certainty, he thought himself in
fair way of losing the road to his
own house. In this perplexity he
espied some one coming toward him,
when he stopped with this query:
''D'ye know where John Smith
ives?"
'.What's the use of asking that
question: said the man; YOU'RE
John Smith himself.
