TO BE CONCLUDED.
The Loneliness of Dying.

Rev. DR.. Deems, of New York, writes Of
"the loneliness of dying"
cit is the most solitary fact in each man S
history. In his birth the mother and child
are partners in the agony and the joy. Along
all the ways of life he may have a compan-
ion, in all the sorrows and joys of life one
who sympathizes. But when he comes to
die he is separated. He is alone" 'The
husband and the wife on the burning deck
may lash themselves together, striving to
make their fates one, and clasp each other in
the last embrace of fondest love and leap
together into the sea but down there in the
waves, heart to heart and cheek to cheek,
each dies as lonely as thoug gh the other were
a thousand leagues away"
All, but think Stephen, the martyr, was
not lonely at death with heaven opened and
Jesus standing ready to receive him. The
little three year-old orphan vas not lonely.
when as the last act of mortal life, she held
up her little arms and exclaimed, Mamma
mammal to the mother dead whom she haG
never known. Was Payson alone when he
cried out, "The Celestial City is full in view
its glories beam upon me; its breezes far
me; its odors areewafted to me; its music
strikes upon my ear, and its spirit breathel
into my heart" The Christians deatt
lonely Bunyan knew better; for he says
of glorious Christiana: behold all thu
banks beyond the river were full of horse.
and chariots, come down from above to &C
company her to the gate of the City" Al
aged dying saint exclaimed to me, "They
said the way was dark. 1t is as clear al
crystal. see them standing there"

them. This is the great Gospel law, and It
has its most glorious illustration in the work
of the Lord Jesus himself When the Son
of God undertook to save men he condescend-
ed to become man. He took on him the
likeness of sinful flesh, without the contami-
nation of the sin; he stopped to the human
level, identifying himself With the race, that
in the end he might elevate those who should
believe on him to his own dignity, and make
them sharers of his throne. Now, of course,
this case is unique and peculiar. There
never can be another precisely like it. No
one can be to sinners what Jesus their Kins.
man-redeemer is. Yet the principle that
underlies his great redemptive work is capa-
Bile of manifold application, and ought to be
clearly understood and acted upon by all
who are seeking the salvation of their fel-
lowmen. We must put ourselves on some
common ground of sympathy, and identify
ourselves in some measure with those whom
we desire to benefit, otherwise our exertions
will be largely unsuccessful.

Borrowing Trouble.

1t is uncomfortably true that there is al
most as much distress of mind experienced
in the anticipation as in the realization Of
trouble. About half of our unhappy days
are occasioned by our looking forward to
the unhappiness of the other half.
"Suficient unto the day is the evil there
off," We need never take another jot on
credit. In borrowing trouble, natural laws
are reversed: mere mole-hills of annoyance
become mountains when viewed at distance
ahead. Some persons never take actual
comfort. In tranquil times the dread Of a
coming change is always in the way of their
enjoyment. 1 know Of one family that was
forever expecting to move; consequently,
neglecting to make garden, repair the
house, or permanently arrange the furniture
At the latest advices, this family had lived
in the same house eleven years.
If we take things as they come, we shall
usually find that they come much better than
We have any right to expect. Our anticipa-
tory flags of distress may have been inviting
compassion and finging patches of darkness
over many bright scene for months, for us
to find at last that we have been guilty of
needlessly, we might say almost criminally,
robbing ourselves and others of the happi'
ness rightfully belonging to us and to them.
Borrowing trouble" is sometimes only
another name for selfshness; for the one
borrowing trouble is seldom satisfied unless
all within his or her influence are inveighed
into the loan. tits holding dangerous SER
pent in our hearts, that grows with what it
feeds upon. 1t is sinful, for it is an abiding
distrust of Gods goodness.

A Word by the Way.

Two friends met Unexpectedly upon a
railway train, young earnest woman and a
wise old man.
The station where they were to separate
was near and without delay the younger
brought forward in her quick, decisive way
a difficulty which pressed upon her heart.

Sunday School class"
"And not the first who has been. But
why?"

"He that goeth forth and weepeth bear

with rejoicing
"ItiS both prophecy and promise, know.
Yet l wait in vain for any sight of my

Nevertheless hold fast to the PROMISE
Let me give you just one thought. Only

A Glorious Sunrise.

In the volume Of lectures by Dr. McCosh,
on Christianity and Positivism," occurs the
following elegant and inspiring description
of natural and moral sunrise:
81 do not know whether any of my hear
ers have ever gone up from Rifelberg to
Corner Graf, in the High Alps, to behold
the sun rise. Every mountain catches the
light according to the upheaving forces that
God set in motion have given it. First the
point of Monte Rosa is kissed by the morn.

with stands clear in the light. Then the
Breithorn and the dome of Muscbabel and
the Matterhorn, and twenty other grand
mountains, embracing the distant Jung
Frau, receive each in its turn the gladden.
ing rays, bask each for brief space, and
then remain bathed in sunlight. Meanwhile,
the valleys between lie down dark and dis

the light of the morning; and these shadows
are even now lessening, and we are sure they
will soon altogether vanish. Such is the
hopeful view l take of our world.' Ozark

as the morning, and to them who sat in dark
ness great light has arisen Already l
see favored spots Illuminated by it: Great
Britain and her spreading colonies; and
Prussia, extending her influence; and the
United States, with her broad territory and
her rapidly increasing population in
the light: and see, not twenty, but hun
dred points of light, striking up in our scat
tered mission stations-in old continents, and
secluded isles and barren deserts, according
as Gods grace and mans heaven-kindled
love have favored them. And much as |

scene, and shouted irrepressibly as l sur

as if 1 could cry aloud for joy, when l hear
of the light advancing from point to point,
and penetrating deeper and deeper into the
darkness which we are sure is to be dispelled,
to allow our earth to stand clear in the light
of the Sun of Righteousness"

prejudice against religion mind not favora-
bly, disposed to it. To such we offer word
of advice.
Make the conversion Of your husband,
next to the salvation of your own soul, your
great object in life Dwell upon the thought
of eternal separation from him, until it shall
force you to agonize for him in prayer. Try
to win him mainly by the sweet and silent
force of Christian life. Look constantly
to God for aid, and endeavor to illustrate as
well as you can before him the beauty and
excellency of vital piety. Let him see that
religion makes one fit for the duties of life
as well as meet for the saints inheritance in
light-that you can only be the more cheer
full and contented and self-denying and un-
selfish and loving and mindful of his COM
fort, because the love of God has been shed
abroad in your heart by the Holy Ghost.
Let him learn from all your department that
your great love has only impaired deeper
sacredness and sweetness and tenderness to
the wifely love of your heart.
Use your influence as far as you can to
bring his mind in contact with saving truth.
Ask him to read the Word Of God with you.
Tell him your earnest longing to be one with
him in hope as you are in love. Beg his
escort to the prayermeeting and the Sab.
bath service, morning and night. And final
ly, be mild but resolute in the assertion of
Christian principles. Beware of that sophis-
try which, under cover of lawful concession,
betrays duty. Never go to places or engage
in amusements which conscience condemns,
or neglect your church duties, to please him
Shake but once his confidence in. the firm
mess of your religious principle by yielding
when conscience bids you refuse, and you
purchase his present appreciation at the.cos'
of what you can ill-afford to lose-your in
fuenee over him as Christian wife.

error and alarm, let as hasten to reTacs our
steps, and to regain the road which alone
leads to peace, liberty, and safety" How
solemn and prophetic the warning, and how
pertinent the appeal in the present crisis,
uttered seventy years ago by the author Of
the Declaration of American independence !!
This enumeration of principles is not in
deed exhaustive. Delivered upon popular
occasion, it was not intended as scientific
analysis, but only as general summary
There is the grave omission, for example, of
the grand idea, which is the cornerstone of
our system, that all just government rests
upon the consent of the governed; which
abdicates force as the bond holding together
these States. 1t omits the prime American
doctrine of the total separation, both in
theory and practice, between the State and
the Church; whose Jurisdictions are funda-
mentally distinct. IL omits to name-what
indeed the history of that day had not SO
clearly demonstrated as it has been since
the indispensable necessity of some adequate
provision for protecting the rights of minori
ties. But if you will examine it as sum-
mary, you will discover its principles to be
independent, with an exception of two, Of
the particular form under which a govern
ment may be administered; and that practi-
cally they are illustrated under a Constitu-
tional monarchy, like that of England, as
really as in our own Republic. They are
the essential principles of civil freedom the
world over, and can never be abandoned by
us in any extremity to which we may be
driven. If the Republic is to be perpetuated
in It's existing form, this can only be by a
return to these as fixed and cardinal maxims.
If the centralism of power should throw us
into the embraces of despotism, then viii
the generation after ours be compelled to
pare the claws of the beast and tame his
ferocity, and recover constitutional freedom
under constitutional guarantees, as England
has done before US. Or if, by sort of gen
eral dry-rot and the total sundering of all
social and moral bonds, this Union shall fall
to pieces; then, by the operation Of these
same principles, it will be necessary from the
chaos to construct coexisting smaller repub-
lies, with the balance of power that has SC
long controlled European diplomacy. But
in every case alike, the existence of regula-
ted liberty will depend upon the maintenance
of our Ancestral Faith My earnest prayer in
reference to our country, is, that its insttu.
lions may be preserved exactly as they came
to US from a wise and patriotic ancestry.
May God Almighty grant, out of the con,
vulSive throeS of this trying time, party
to be born, fresh from the peoples heart,
which shall inscribe upon its banner these
original doctrines of the American Creed
But next to that, if, by some sad transmigra.
ton, government must be clothed with
another form, that at least those principles
may survive which are necessary to the life
of liberty itself.

Value of the Sabbath.

| subioin a beautiful tribute to the value
of the Sabbath to man, which came to me
long time ago, in Saturday night letter
from friend-himself then toiling, strug-
Cling man of business-now "entered into
rest"
"Among all the eminent poets who have
delighted the world with their song, it is sin.
gular that none save James Graham, of Scot
land, have raised one strain to the honor of
the Sabbath. True, he has done it well and
nobly, like "a sweet singer of Israel as he is,
but still the marvel remains, that nothing
save brief outbreaks of song from the Poets
of England has commemorated the blessed
ness of the best day of the seven. The
Siege Of Troy The Jerusalem Delivered,
The Fairy Queen,' The Seasons are all
vapid and pointless themes, compared with
the beauty and glory of the Sabbath. The
day of quiet-the day of rest-the day of
emancipation from earth and of communion
with heaven-the Lords day.
To me it is an ever fresh fountain of en-
joyment, and contrasted with the stir and
turmoil of the week, seems like the calm
after the hurricane; the glare and tumult of
the crowded theatre, followed by the quiet
of the sanctuary; the burning aridity of the
desert in juxtaposition with the sequestered
valley, murmuring with streams and vocal
with the melody of birds and the bleating of
| hocks
