JESSE GRANT, the father Of the Presi-
dent, is dead. He departed this life Sun
day night at cOyingtcp, KENNEDY
where he has been the nominal post
master for a few years. He was harm
less, weak.minded old man, whose &C.
centricitiesandf fond regard for ULYSSES"
could be excused in consideration Of his
illiteracy and extreme old age. In early
life he had but limited opportunities for
obtaining an education, and the hard
life of a tanner did not admit Of habits
of reading, consequently he was as wise
at twenty as at sixty, and never took a
very comprehensive view of public at
fairs. He reached the extreme age Of
eighty-six, but had been in feeble health
some years. The newspapers handled
him rather unkindly, but this arose more
from his vanity and arrogance than his
incompetency. The measure Of his
glory was more than filled when his son
became President. 1t rather turned his
head, but such is poor human nature.

TERRIBLE DISASTER AT SEA.
Loss Of am Emf grant ship by Collision,
with 800 Ltves-Probable Loss of the
CuIliding Vessel with All or Board.

Loss OF an EmiGrant ship by Collision,
with 800 LiVes-ProbableL Loss Of the
CuIliding Vessel with All or Board.
The Northfeet emigrant ship, which
sailed from London several days ago
for Australia, with 412 passengers, ex-
elusive of her crew, was in collision at
midnight Wednesday, two miles off
Dungennes, with an unknown foreign
steamship and was cut to
the waters edge. Only 81 persons are
known to have been saved. 1t is be-
lieved that every otherperson who was
on board has found watery grave. No
attention was paid by the steamship to
the emigrant vessel after the collision,
and she proceeded on her course, leav-
in Q the sufferers to their fate.
When the collision happened,a panic
occurred on the emigrant ship. The
passengers who were asleep rushed
from their berths to every portion of
the ship where they thought they would
bo safe, and utterly refused to obey the
orders of the captain. That officer
az last resort to enforce obedience to
his command was compelled to fire
upon the terror-stricken people, ono Of
whom was wounded. 1t is believed
that if the passengers had obeyed the
orders of the captain more of them
would have been saved.
The Northheet was lying at anchor at
the time the collision occurred. Her
cargo consisted of railroad iron. Three
hundred and twenty-one persons were
drowned, including the captain Of the
Inflated vessel.
1t Is reported that steamship has
been discovered sunk at the scene of
the collision. The opinion is becom-
ing general that the vessel which ran
into the Northfeet also went
down with all hands before the
emigrant ship sunk. The owner of the
Spanish steamship Murita, who landed
at Dover two hours after the collision
occurred, believes it was his vessel
which was in collision with the North
fleet, and that both were destroyed.

Watch the Fires.

A placid old lady, who seemed to be all
gentleness, once told me that If she ever
got real angry it always made her sick.
Some writer says that fit Of passion tears
down the system like an attack of typhoid
fever. However that may be, the effects
of it are all bad, in body as well as soul.
Habitually angry fretfu people destroy
health, as well as their own comfort, and
much of the happiness of other. Yes, and
it is really true that worry kills people
faster than work. So if you wish to live
long in health and comfort, learn to keep
the soul quiet. "The ornament of meek
and quiet spirit" the Word of God tells
us, is in his sight "of great price" Oh I!
what could be higher inducsmentto strive
after this ornament The Lord loves it.
He values it more than the Kohinoor grand
est diamond in the world. And only think,
the poorest child can get this jewel.
You can learn to rule your spirit, even
though it is fiery. His grace is enough for
all the world But il is like any other
fire--you must check it betimes. IL you
let it get little headway, it may be like
the Chicago disaster. Nothing but rain
from heaven can put it out.
Don't let your beautiful house burn down
just because Of these unchecked fires Of
temper. Watch for the first sparks. Speak
low if you are npgry--it will help much to
quiet you. Think over what tho Bible
says about the conquerors over this sin,
and resolve that you will bc another to
win such honors. Watch well the fires. -

Work for Young Men.
By DR.. II. NJ. scUDDER.

God has so arranged matters in this
world that His work is not complete with
out man. The human co-operates with the
divine, aud when this world is to be spirit
ually improved human cooperation is de-
manded, as it is said in the Bible, We
are workers together with him."
Now, who are to do this work ? Minis
tiers will never convert the world not be-
cause they lack the desire, but because they
cannot do it alone and if this world is ever
to be converted to God, the aity must
wheel into line You may elect ministers
as your captains and colonels, but we must
have the solid masses of infantry aud caval.
ry to accomplish anything.
Now, among the laity, to whom are we
to look? Not to the old men, for they
have one foot in the grave, but to the
young men our hope is in them. We
wish to win young men and bring them
home to Christ, and how are we to do it ?
We must set young men to capture young
men.

A Story for Children.

A friend Of mine told me u story little
while ago which interested me so much

This gentlemen owned fine horse, which
was very fond of him, and would come
from the pasture at the sound of his voice,
and followed him round like dog. Well,
at one time the horse became lame and was
obliged to stay in his stable and not be
used for many weeks, and it was during
this time that Mr.. b. became interested to
see how much the horse knew and how kind
his sympathies we're. An old cat had made
her nest upon the scaffold, just above the
horses manger, and had laid there her lit
tie family Of five kittens, to bring them up
under bis good tuition, | suppose.
She and the horse got on nicely for some
days. She jumped down into bis manger
and went of for food, and then came back
and leaped up to her kittens again. But
one morning she rolled off into the manger
with her foot bleeding and badly hurt, SO
that she could scarcely crawl; but she man.
aged to lenp away on three feet and get her
breakfast, but when she came back she was
entirely unable to get up to her kittens
and what do you think she did? She sat
down at the horses feet and mewed and
looked up several times, till at last pony,
seeming to understand her wants, reached
down, took the cat in his teeth and tossed
her up on the scaffold to her kittens, who
doubt not, were glad to see her. This Mr.
b. told me be saw repeated morning after
