A ReautIfaI InceIdsnt.

On beautiful summers day .
Clergyman was called to preach in
a town in Indiana, TO q young Epis-
copai congregation, AT the close Of
his discourse, he addressed his young
hearers in such words az these
a'Learn that the present life is a
preparation for, and has n tendency
10 eternity The present Is linked
TO the future throughout creation,
IN the vegetable, in the animal, and
In the moral world. AS is the seed,
so Is the fruit ; as is the egg, 50 is
the fowl; as Is the boy, so is the
man and as Is the rational being in
this world, 50 viii he be in the next;
Dives estranged from God here, Is
Dives estranged from God in the
next; and Enoch walking with God
on earth, is Enoch waling with God
in a calm and better world. I be-
seech you, live then, for blessed
eternity. Go TO the worm that yon
tread npon. and learn 4 lesson OF
wisdom. The very caterpillar seeks
the food that fosters il for another
and similar state and more wisely
than man builds its own sepulchre,
from whence in time by kind of
Resurrection, it comes forth in a
new creature in almost angelic form.
And now that which crawled flies,
and that which feed on comparative
ly gross food, sips the dew that
reVels in the rich pastures, an en-
blem Of that paradise where flows
the river of life and grows the tree
of life. Could the caterpillar have
been diverted from its proper ele-
ment aud mode of life, II il had new
eF attained the butterfy's splendid
from and hue, il had perished d
worthless worm. Consider her
ways and be wise. Let IL not be
said that ye are more negligent than
worms, aud that your reason is less
available than their instinct. As Of
ten as the butterfly fits across your
path, remember that it whispers In
It's flight, 'siive for the future"
With this the preacher closed his
discourse but TO deepen the impress
sion, a butterfly, directed by the
Hand which guides alike the sun
aud An atom in its course, futtered
through the Church, as If commits
stoned by Heaven TO repeat the ex-
h0rtatiOn. There was neither
speech nor language, but its voice
was heard saying 10 the gazing au-
dienee, "Live for the future"

BEAUTIFUL ZION.

Beautiful Zion built above,
Beautiful city that 1 love,
Beautiful gatea OF pearly white,
Beautiful temple-God is light;
He who was slain on Calvary,
Open those pearly gates to me.
Beautiful heaven, where all is light,
Beautiful angels clothed in white,
Beautiful Strains that never tire;
Beautiful hRrps thro' all the choir;
There shall Ijoin the chorus sweet.
Worshi ping at the SaH1r's feet.
Beautiful crowns on every brow,
Bearifulpalms the conqueror show;
Beautiful robes the ransomed wear,
Beautiful all who enter there;
Thither press with eager feet,
There shall my rest be long and sweet.
Beautiful throne Of Christ our King,
Beautiful songs the angels sing,
Beautiful rest, ali wanderings cease,
Beautiful home Of perfect peace.
There shall my eyes the Savior see,
Haste 70 this heavenly home with me.

A HOPELESS CoNGREoATIoN.-

A HOMELESS CoNGREGATION.-
At meeting yesterday of the con-
gregatiOn of the Fourth Presbyte-
rian Church, Chicago, Prof. David
Tying, Pastor, il was ascertained on
close investigation that the eight
hundred worshippers in that
Church were burned out OF their
dwellings, and are homeless TODAY.
Their house of worship and their
Erie Mission school were likewise
destroyed. In fact the home of not
a single worshipper escaped destruc-
ton. This was one of the most
fiourishing Presbyterian Churches in
the city

The Toledo Commercial grieves
that Carl Schurz should fratsrnize
with the very men who once sought
to destroy the Union, and thinks it
inhuman on his part TO find more to
condemn in General Grant than
jefferson Davis. just as soon as a
man ceases TO be a bigot, and ceases
to hate the South and all Southern
ers, just that hour the Radical press
commence TO complain that he is
growing lukewarIn in the interest

The essence OF justice is mercy
Making the childsuffer for wrong-do-

is no mercy in letting The child have
It's own will plunging headlOng To
destruction with the bits in its
mouth. There is no mercy to So
ciety nor 10 the criminal il the
wrong is not repressed and the
right vindicated. We injure the
eulprit who comes up TO take his
proper doom at the bar of justice, If
we do not make him fell that he has
done a wrong thing. We may deli
yer his body from the prison, but
not at the expense ofjustiee, nor TO
his own injury.-l Z. II. ChdpiH.

CAUSE AND EFFEcT.-One kernel
is felt in a hogshead the drop of
water helps TO swell the ocean, a
spark Of FIRE helps to give light to
the world. You are a small man
passing among the crowd, you are
hardly noticed, but you have drop,
a spark within you that may be felt
through eternity. Do you believe
il? Set that drop in motion, give
wings to that spark, and behold the
result None are too small, too fee
bic, too poor, TO be ofserv1ce. Think
OF this, and act. Life is no triae.

The growing scarcity of timeber
and timber lands is becominga very
important for the country. The de-
mand for lumber is constantly in
crsasing, while the supply is rapidly
falling of. Vast I'M extent as are
the forests of Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Michigan, at the present rate OF
demand for building material TO
supply the necessities OF our in
ereasing population, il will be but a
few years before they are exhausted.
Even now, indeed, we are beginning
to have a look to the shores of the
Pacific for the means TO supply this
great necessity, and il win not be
long before we shah have to go clear
beyond our borders. We have been
far TOO extravagant with our timber.

AN exchange says: 1T is strange
how closely people read the papers. We
never say anything that anybody don't like
but what we soon hear Of it, and every
body tells US about it. But If once in a
while we happen to say good thing, we
never hear that--nobody seems to notice
that. We may pay some man hundred
compliments, and give him dozen puffs,
and he takes it as tribute to his great
ness, never thinks anything about it-nev-
or thinks it does him any good. But If we
happen to say something that this very man
don't like, or something he iinagines re-
fleets on him or his character, see how
quickly he flies up and gets mad about it,
All our evil is duly charged to us, but we
never, apparently, get any credit for what
gopi we do"
