Beecller Last SUNDAY.

1.-The trouble OF men is that they see only
the details of the drudgery of their weary
life. 1t must be barren life that has made
only pins. They say that ID takes twenty
men to make pin suppose one man for
forty years had done nothing but put heads
on pins another forty years sharpening
pins. There are men whose business it is
to flush sewers-to flush the sewers and
clean the streets of New York. Is it any
wonder that they neglect their work !?
There are men who are night scavengers-
men whose daily life is dull, dreary, dis
heartening, and possibly degrading. Do
you wonder that they go to their drinking
places that they go home only to fill
their maws and tumble on their dirty
straw Go up Broadway, and you walk
over thousands of men at work in the
damp cellars. Look up and there are men
spending their lives in dirty, dusty attics.
Thanks be unto God, there is not one of
these men who can not, by the use of his
imagination, take himself far, far away
from the filthiness, the meanness of his
daily toll, and can walk, while toiling, on
the golden pavements of Heaven. / have
known men who have sung hymns at their
work, which has given to their toll an en-
ergetic radiance. These men had an un-
divided interest in the sunlight. They
may look at the treasure there is in the
banks, and not be able TO draw q check
they may be unable to speculate in Erie
and other valuable stocks but they have
JOY that no earthly pleasures or posses.
sions can give. Greenwood is made OF

Into the grave but / rebound in imagina-
ton to the heaven above. / never look al
the regimental march, the most touching
of all marches, the long array of children's
funerals and of children's graves, without
seeing the mothers, the fathers, the nurses
who have nursed them, the love that was
around them, the prettiness that infantilt
tenderness engraves so indelibly upon the
human heart" Mr.. Beecher here touched
chord that was too much of pathetic
unison both for himself and his congrega
ton. He finished the sentence with fall
tering voice, and the congregation to {
large extent found sudden use for theil
cambria hankerchiefs.

e" BEAUrrFUL SNOW"

Beautiful snow When you come in your
season,
AT Christmas or New Years, we hail you with
reason,
When wild winds are blowing through treetops
all bare,
And Boreas whistles dirge in the air
When rivers and lakes are all coated with ice,
And backlogs are blazing and blankets feel
nice.
Then snowfakes are lovely when spinning
around,
And weaving carpet 10 cover the ground.
But when we are looking for birds and for
flowers,
For green leaves to hang on the trees and the
bowers,
When the season has come for the farmerssto
sow,
Then you are nuisance, o beautiful snow.

A "REMINISCENCES OF THE CHICAGO FIRE.
Nov Lutte Girl saved &c Comnunior
service.

In the course of an address to the child
rem, the Rev. Charles i. Dorset, Rector OF
the Church of the Ascension, Chicago,
ILL.,, recently related the following strik-
ing incident
"A poor widow sent me dollar and
thirty-three cents, inNsilver change, saying
that il was all she found in her dead hus-
bands pocket-book, and she wanted to
give it to God.
AZ told this to the children and their
parents in the Church of the Ascension in
Chicago, and they soon found way to use
this widows mite for God They said :
We will make Communion Service of
it, So they added to il their gold rings
and pieces of jewelry, and pocket-pieces of
silver, and a lady gave her dead boys silver
cup, and so they kept on adding pieces of
silver and gold till we had enough ; and
then the artist made us very beautiful
chalice and paten all of silver and gold.
" Now ] must tell you what came of it,
and that shall be my second story. When
that dreadful fire which destroyed our
churches and homes in Chicago was see
approaching our little church, a little girl,
seven years old, came with her father to
sec what they could save. 1t was four
o'clock in the morning, and there was no
light except what came from the fire. But
little Louisa Enderli found the Commu-
mon Service ana saved III. she was soon
lost from her father, and for four weary
miles she made her way among the crowd
of people who were hurrying away from
the burning district.
The wind blew the burning sand and
cinders in her eyes, and almost blinded
| them but she defended them as best she
could with one hand, and chung to her
precious treasure with the other, refusing
to give it up till she had e in place OF
safety. For three days she was lost from
her father, she having been sheltered and
cared for by kind German family. When
her father at last found her, she threw her
arms about his neck, saying, % papa, 1
saved the communion! l saved the Com
munion But even then she could not
give it up till she had placed it safelyin the
Rector's hands. Now, children, | think
that wG5~ an act of Christian heroism
worthy of the martyrs who died for the
Lords sake in the older days.sz

"Oh, you gave them to me, did you?n
Eyes, sir. L threw in handful for the

Ancestral Wisdom.

In Pennsylvania, not many years ago,
there dwelt the descendants of Peter Van
Schrenbendyke, who had cleared his own
farm, guarded it carefully from the attacks
of the Indians, and willed it to his son
Jacob. The farm was transmitted in reg
ular order from father to son, and at last
became the property of Heinrich Van
Schrenbendyke-a good natured, stolid
Teuton, whose son Johannes, q bright,
lively youth of sixteen, was told to saddle
the horse and ride to mill with grist and
hurry back. The grist was on such oc-
casions placed in one end of bag, and a
large stone in the other end TO balance it.
Johannes, having thrown the sack across
the horses back and got the grist evenly
fdivided. had no need of the stone to bal
ance it. He therefore ran to his father and
cried:
'Oh ladder, come and see. We don't
need de stones any more.n
The old gentleman carefully surveyed
the scene, and with severely reproaeh-
full look, said:
Johannes, your fadder. your grandfad-
der, und great-grandfadder went to de mill
with the stone in one end of de bag, and
de grist in de odder. Und now you, amere
boy, sets yourself up to know more as dey
do. You put de stopes in de pag and never
more let me see such smartness like dat. "

Climbing. up upon my knee;
Nursey said we must be happy
When she dwessed us-Fwed and me.
Why. Please tell me 2" Very eager
Were her pretty pleading eyes.

Wait, my darling, hear the story
Then you'll love this blessed day.
That's right, Freddie, climb up quickly
If you re quiet you can stay.
When the Savior came from heaven
Cwsmas !" broke in Katies voice.
Yes, pet, there were few to love Him,
Few but angels to rejoice.
Many days he spent in healing
Leading souls from death to lfe
Often blessing little children,
Calming angry words of strife"

" Just IS 'ou do ~ Katie cried.
Yes" L said and for the children
Jesus our dear Jesus died.
Cruel hands were laid upon Him,
Mailing Him upon the tree
Many of His friends forsook him
There He died for you and me-
Oh how dwe'ful? i can't bear It F."
Tender-bearted Katie said.
Don't 'ou tell me, mamma" hiding
On my breast her curly head.
Tell us after" echoed Freddie,
As paused with fearful eyes,
Bout the big stone and the angels,
How he went up TO the skies ;"
That was Easter" said quickly.
Darling, didn't nursey say
Why you must both be very happy
Christ the Lord has risen to-day
Easter l-when He wose fwom dying ?"
Katie asked in glad surprise.
Yes to-day his tomb is empty;
Jesus now is in the skies.n
I'll tell nursey what's the weason
Why we're happy Freddie said,
Jumping down while Katie whispered,
+ It's cause Jesus isn't dead.
I'm so glad He's up in heaven,
Way off fwom those wicked men
Cause 'ou see they'll never find Him.
He sail never die again"

Theirs the sweetest praise must be.
Make me like these little children
