1t is the autithesis of that contentmofit

are SO nearly good that they do not
need to be anxious, the word ofthe Lord
to them is, 'Seest thou q man wise in

other hand, has such a sense of his real
deficiency, that he feels the need of edu-
cation in divine things; if he says, 1.-The
work is SO great that it can only be ac-
complished by the putting forth of every

that natural insight, that alertness, that
earnest circumspection, which every man
has who addresses himself 10 thing

off.
1t any rate, bring to this work that
earncstness which men bring to things
which they desire and mean to have IN
secular life. There is nothing In this
world which requires more spirit, more
purpose, more watching, than this work.
there is no more various culture than that
which is derived from seeking those
great ends which are set before every one
In Christian life. We cannot afford to
be indifferent Christians. We cannot
make. progress in Christian life, if we
live in state of supine Indifference. We
are to work out our own salvation as earn

And surely the apostle teaches US that

BY HENRY WARD BEECHER.

The apostle says that ace are Coz.
hus5aadry Our souls are his firms.
And when God begins his work in your
soul, and seeks for humility. and meek
ness, and love, he says ta you, 'W ork
out these traits. Plow for them. Sow
seed for them. And hen they come up,
cultivate them. And when they are ripe,
garner and harvest them. Every one
of these traits is to be made subject mat
ter Of careful thought, much prayer.
much. endeavor, much skillful education.
And that is the Interpretation. to a large
extent, of the divine providences which
are cooperating with grace, are giving
iaen opportunity to develop these traits.
How shall men learn to be patient, if
everything is just as they want? How
shaA~inen learn Perseverance, If they
have everything without endeavor {?
When men are crossed, when their plans
are subverted, when they find the world
bearing heavily upon their shoulders, God
is saying to them, Work out patience
work out Perseverance; work out cour-
age. When men find that pride doml-
mates in them, and that by pride they are
led into trifing, and into fault-fnding,
and perhaps into interrogating God, say
Ing, Why am thus dealt with, o my
Father?' God is saying, Nv ork out
humility work out gentclness. Are
circumstances depressed? Is home scowl-
ing and cloudy? Is life obstructed Do
you from day to day find yourself kick
ing against the pricks? The providence
of God is saying, ''W ork out, by these
helps, your own salvation" Educate
yourself in those moral traits which, if
you bear up manfully, and act the part Of
a Christian, under such circumstances,
cannot fail to be developed and establish
ed iii you.
But we are commanded in working out
our own salvation, to develope in our
selves those traits of character which
shall make US like Jesus, and make it
possible for Christ to be companionable
with us, and to save US throughout all
eternity. We are commanded to do this

A miserable Little Li6.

A story more touching in the utter DESPAIR
and wearines OF life which it expresses, can
hardly be conceived than this, told by a Door
woman. who gave herself up to the police at
Banbury, England, few days ago, telling
them that she had killed her own child:
"When l irst came to live with Thomas
Castle he promised to be married to me: we
were to be married before came TO live with
him; he was left with no one to look after his
own baby; he asked me to come and be mar
ried at his own house at Barford; when Wa
came to Barford l was asked in church ac-
cording to his word; when we were out-asked
ne refused to be married; he said we shonld
not De married while we were at Barford;
always thought it was because he did not
approve of my child, Edward Patrick; after
the hrst month was there we were always
falling out about the child; he was always
il-uslng 1t; the child always seemed to be
in the wrong place; it always seemed to be
in the way; he was always ON with it in some
way for vexation to me; one night when he
came home he told the child he had no yict-
uals for him and asked the child if he would
60 out and beg it; the child said he would

The Labor Congress which is to meet in st.
Louis on the 7th of August, is called to con-
slider several important matters Among the
subjects which claim attention are the "Rghts
of Labor" the laws which should govern
Trade organizations, and the definitions of
the true relations between employer and EN-
ployed; all of which are really subdivisions
of one theme, but capable OF indefinite expan-
sion, and always provocative of long debates
which come to no conclusion. The call for
this Convention, however, does not mention
the real purpose of the gathering. The polit-
ical feature has been carefully concealed. A
few of the ambitious leaders of the working
men, determined to try the experiment of Or
ganizing "National Labor Party" are un-
derstood to be engaged in vigorous pipe-lay-
ing effort, hoping to ride into higher places OIL
the wave of popular excitement. Opposi-
ton to pretty nearly everything seems to be
the aim OF these uneasy and impracticable
men. They oppose Chinese immigration,
they oppose the continuance of the National
Banking system, they oppose the payment of
the National Debt in gold, they oppose land
grants. They demand the adoption OF uni
form eight-hour system, they insist upon the
recognition of Trade Unions as ruling pow
er, and they will be content with nothing less
than general renovation of affairs. This is
the new programme of the -Unionsts
Failing in their measures OF coercion, they are
now scheming to array the workingmen in
hostility to the American system of Gevern-
ment They will delade many with the hope
of success through the agency of National
organization, and their mischevous teach
ings will sow the seeds of future troubles
For several years past, these plotters, who
have nothing to lose, have maneuvred To
warp the Labor Conventions to- their own
views, and their effort has been attended will,
such degree of success as to make the APP
preaching demonstration an interesting sub
ject of study.-N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
