CHRIST AT THE TABLE.-It was in
John Falls Orphan House, in Wei
mer, one evening. when one Of the
BOYS had said the pious grace
"Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest,
and bless what thou hast provided" "
a little fellow looked up and said
"Do tell me why the Lord Jesus
never comes. We ask him every day
to sit with us, and he never comes"
"Dear child, only believe and you
may be sure he will come; for he
does not dispise our invitation"
81 shall set him a seat" said the
little fellow; and just then there was
knock at the door. A poor frozen
apprentice entered, begging nights
lodging. He was made welcome
the chair stood empty for him. Eve
ry child proffered his plate; every
child was ready to yield his bed.
The little one had been thinking
hard all the time. "Jesus could not
come and so he sent this poor one III
his place-is that it?" said the child.
Yes, dear child-that is just it,"
answered Falls. "Every piece OF
bread and every drink of water that
we give to the poor, or the sick, or
to the prisoner, for Jesus sake, we
give to him. 'Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of these
my brethren, We have done it unto
me-"

delicacy-its sweetness.
The soul, like the prisoner of Chill
Ion, turns back to it's dusty cell, and
to the companionship OF spiders.
aSo much a lono tends

to the companionship OF spiders.
$50 much a long communion tends
To make us what we are"
And this is not the gloomiest shad
ing of the picture. Often, as the
channels of thought and action grow
narrower, the higher principle rebels
there is a break in the play of life
the triple nature, body, mind and
spirit, will not work together and nc
rest can restore the equilibrium again
For those living retired and some
what isolated there is no antidote for
all this, like a dear and intimate
communion with the heart and, ma
ture and with the written thoughts
Of the best and freshest minds.
Happy are they who see some
thing more than an arch Of bright
colors in the rainbow, so softly, Sc,
renely self-erected over the summer
cloud while great drops are FLASHING
against the window panes.
They who are astir before the ear
liest bird-song is afoat on the sweet
air, while the grass blades are heavy
with dew, can afford to pause in their
work, wipe the sweat from their fore
heads and rest in the freshest, cool.

An hour day so spent would, in
year amount to over forty-five
school days of eight hours each; ten
years would furnish the discipline OF
two years of academic training, and
the habit persevered in for thirty
years would give six solid years OF
study and improvement-eqaul to
the best college course. 1t would

to be received into the life as q spark

The Wind and Stream.

A brook came stealing from the ground;
You scarcely saw its silvery gleam
Among The herbs that hung around
The borders of that winding stream,-
pretty stream, placid stream,
A softly gliding, bashful stream.
A breeze came wandering from the sky,
Light as the whispers of dream;
He put the o'erhanging grasses by,
And gaily stopped to kiss the stream
The pretty stream, the flattered stream,
The shy, yet unreluctant stream
The water, as the wind passed DER,
Shot upward many a glancing beam,
Dimpled and quivered more and more,
And tripped along livelier stream
The fiattered stream, the simpering
stream,
The fond, delighted, silly stream.
Away the airy wanderer flew
To where the fields with blossoms TEEN.
To sparkling springs and rivers blue,
And left alone that little stream
The f1attered stream, the cheated stream
The sad, forsaken, lonely stream
That careless wind no more came back;
He wanders yet the fields, deem;
But on its melancholy track
Complaining went that little stream
The cheated stream the hopeless stream
The ever murmuring, moaning stream.

Written for the Journal and Item

DEAR JOURNAL: near so many
signing for rest, even in this beauti-
full May, that the thought is sugges-
tive to me.
How to do the most work" has
been the problem of the age, and the
results are startling. Almost every
weekly paper records the death of
some great worker whose name is
spoken tenderly, reverently, because
of the work he has done.
One is arrested suddenly by the
swapping of the "silver cord;" anoth-
er. with enfeebled brain-force, sinks
through every grade of imbecility
till death is made welcome. In how
many homes, whose inmates once
thought most of the work to be done,
there is a reaction now; they only
sigh for rest-rest for the aching
head and bewildered brain-rest for
the weary feet. A revival of lost
energies is eagerly sought in sunny
foreign lands and in the bland air of
our own Florida. 1t will be sought
by thronging thousands the coming
season, among the cool sweet noun
tain shadows and down by the great
sea, where the waves wash the silver
beach. Under such influences many
an invalid will be refreshed and
strengthened.
But the problem we need most to
solve is how to do life's great work
and vet rest as we 90; how to make
each day turn to the most account
and yet feel that delicious sense of
repose that so fits one for the higher
enjoyments of mind and spirit.
To attain this must not life be
symmetrical If all the energies
are bent to bread-getting our sphere
is narrowed, the mind is dwarfed,
the affections are cramped, the wings
of imagination clipped and the high
er nature is left trailing in the dust
when il should be soaring GOdward,
exultant in Accommodating in the
light.
| think our work should be more
understanding to soothe when
we are irritated, to inspire when we
are sluggish. We should have some
thing daily to lift us into a purer,
serener atmosphere-above petty
cares that often fret and corrode.
Every gift of the mind and spirit
wants improvement and apprecia-
ton. They each cry out with pain
if life is cold and unlovely. Our
work then should be three-fold; the
brain wants work as well as the
hands, the affections want work.
There should be time for reading
and for gracious neighborly ways.
Mans life needs the kindling, elec-
trical influence of discussion-even
of the brisk skirmish in politics.
The sparkt, he light flashing back
and forth when mind meets mind all
aglow with the conviction of some
great truth, quickens and ennobles
manhood.
Woman, in her gentler life, needs
the vivifying influence of beauty--of
taste; the plainest suffer if life is
bleak and unadorned. All want time
to get view now and then of the
great world outside. How it sweetens
toll, gives freshness and vigor to
thought and inspires to nobler plans
and purposes!
But the young man says, | must
earn competence and then see the
world at my leisure Woman
sighs. Z" 1t takes an outfit too heavy
for my purse just now," and 50 we

"Rest is not quitting
The busy career
Rest is the fitting
OF self to ones sphere;
'Tis loving and serving
The highest and best,
'Tis onward, unswervingl
And this is true rest"
Scattered through the country
where you will go, dear JOURNAL,
are many young men and maidens-
the dew of the morning in their
hearts-who want to grow into the
perfection of manhood and woma1l-
hood. They mean that their lives
shall be glorious as the sun, giving
light, and warmth, and help to all
about them.
But the country is new, and by the
sweat of the brow must the means OF
life be brought up from the damp,
productive soil-hewn from the
rough trees. If one would acquire
means for future usefulness the work
must be done.
Just here is the danger. Little
by little the attention may be alb
sorbed, the books that would cheer
and elevate be laid aside and the
delicate chains of sympathy in social
life neglected.
How often the young heart, girding
on the armor of self denial, says: 81
must gain a fortune and position
now, and in all after time | shall find
delight in books, in study of nature
and in warm, genial intercourse with
others" There is a pitiful mistake
in such a plan. When the cry OF
the soul for better and higher living
has been long suppressed it does not
waken readily at the voice Of a bird
or the beauty Of the morning. Books
lose their interest and friendship its

in the souls gallery, while even the
play of the lights and shadows there
grows DINNER and fainter.
Oh, how much of the higher life
we miss for want of the plain good
sense that would reduce money to
its proper value and would make
dress subservient only to the uses
and needs of intelligent, sweetened
and elevated human nature!
/ remember a home into which
very little money was ever brought
where each one toiled for the daily
bread; but that toll was ennobled by
affection, it was guided by intelli-
gence. There was ever some fresh
delight that accompanied the daily
task; the book full of fresh wonders,
like Hartwig's Life in the Frigid
Zones and the Tropics; the hasty
nOOaIICdI SACuI oIOI InGO GIle udIHp,
ferny wood or a sail on the pond
where the delicate water-lilies were
all afoat.
There was no elegance in that
home only the grace and charm that
refinement gives; no adornment but
the simplicity of nature; flowers
blooming and vines trailing in the
windows; sea-shells half hidden in
moses and pictures framed of crag-
ged twigs vanished and set together
curiously by their own hands. But
life developed harmoniously. 1t was
grand and free. Every one who
went through that low, vine-covered
porch felt the freedom. Life was
sweeter and dearer when he went
forth again-not so much for the
warmth of the welcome as for the
nearness of communion.
One Of the neighbors who had been
so diligent in early years that his
family rode in fine carriages, hung
their walls with costly pictures and
went to the Springs summers, with
several large Saratoga trunks, won
dered that people so intelligent and
genial should be so unambitious.
But the wealthy man, who had
worked at first only very late on
weekdays and afterward on Sundays
lin his office), was interrupted in
his work and obliged to rest when
he should have been in the prime of
his days. His mind broke its fetters
and took leave Of the body, where it
had been so cramped and defrauded,
and for five years his wife and daugh-
ter, confined to the sick room scarce
ly entered their beautiful parlors.
How bleak and barren is such
life! 1t stands out like the pillar of
Lots wife on the salt plains! How
full of joy, and hope, and courage
was the other beside it!
The father is vigorous still. His
gray hair is a crown of beauty. His
children are all in places Of trust and
honor. They achieve much because
they know how to vary their work
and adopt it to the moods and needs
of the hour. Their strength and
vigor prove that

BISHOP SoUrHaATE's SoN IN SUDDEN RETREAT
FROM THE EPIscoPAL CHURCH.
| Baltimore despatch of June G says Z:

A Baltimore despatch of June G says;
The Rev. Il. Southgate, son of Horato South
gate, OF New York, missionary Bishop Of the
episcopal Church, came to this city three months
ago to assist in the parochial duties of st. Lukes
Episcopal church. lie was only deacon at the
time of his arrival here, but was to have been
fully ordained as priest tomorrow Trinity Sum
day) Some few days back Rev. Mr.. Rankin,
rector of st, Luke's, notified Bishop Whittinsham
that he had objection TO the Ordalning of young
Southgat0. The Bishop cOncurred with the rector
and Southgat was advised to return to his father 5
home. IAstead of doing so he remained here
ofneiating at st. Luke's up 10 Thursday morning.
After assisting at morning prayer ON that day and
partaklng of the sacrament he suddenly aban-
4onsd his post, left his lodgings, and before night
became an inmate Of st. Mary's seminary Of the
koman Catholic Church, an Institution under the
control of the Sulpiciaas. 1t is understood that
hsRrounds OF objection to his being ordained in
the Episcopal Church were his lental condition.
e His father has arrived here, and effort is tc
be made to remove him from tho seminary. The
affair has created considerable excitement in
church circles, as st. Lukes is the leading Epsco
pal high church of tho city.
