s.THE HILL DIFFICULTY'' IN S. S.
WORK.

In all continued efforts the hard place
does not lie at the beginning. The lion
which guards the threshold, does not
show himself at the gate. but hides some
where inside, ready to take us unawares.
Every one who has learned music or
new language, knows what it is to come
to the ''hard place. 1t is when the in
terest of novelty has worn off, and that
of use has not begun; when we work
day after day, seeming to make absolute
ly no progress; when we cannot under
stand something with some unex-
pected dificulty--that we are discouraged
and wish we had not begun. But if we
keep resolutely on, doing our best, work
ing doggedly and steadily at whatever
hinders us, we presently find 1--WE hardly
know how, that the hard place is left
behind, and we are going on finely again.
1t is very much SO in the matter of
the christian life, and experience of the
Sabbath School worker Nobody sees
the whole of his sins and imperfections
at once. If we did we should, perhaps,
be utterly discouraged. We go on hon
estly correcting one fault after another,
and perhaps congratulating ourselves
that we are SO ready to sacrifice all for
the Master, till by and by we are plainly
shown that something must be given up
which we are by no means ready to re-
linquish. We are shown that some
habit or quality on which we have prid-
ed ourselves must be overcome or laid
aside; our pride, which we call self-re-
spect, our resentment of inq,tiries-jus
resentment we think-our dainty self
indulgence, which we call refined taste,
or a love of the beautiful, or some dar-
ling desire of self-culture and improve
ment, perfectly legitimate in itself, but
conflicting with the duty we owe tc
others. Then indeed comes the real
hand-to hand struggle, the real conflict
with Apollyon, which shows what we
are made of. If we have the love Of
God in our hearts, and strive with hui
mainly, and put a due dependence OF
the aid which is promised us, we ar,
sure to conquer at last, though we NAY
be sorely wounded and bruised in tn,
battle, and even defeated over and owe
again; but if we decline the combat
and try to avoid it by shutting our eye
and refusing to see the enemy, woe to us
Not one more step of real progress i
5 possible; and though we may fancy W
! are going forward, we shall find to on
sorrow that we have turned our backs
and are travelling again toward the cit
> of destruction. l.

FAITH.
For the MONITOR.

There are hours when, were it not for
the faith which the christian has in
the hereafter, it's immunity from sorrow,
care. doubts and perplexities, and all
that wearies the soul and makes the
world appear gloomy waste, were it
not for this faith. say, there are hours
when one would feel like giving up the
struggle, and even taking his own life.
But God, in his infinite wisdom, has
planted in our hearts hope, which cheers
US up with the promises of the future,
and made us forget the trials of the
present hour in the glad anticipation Of
the good things in prospect. When the
tongue of the slanderer, the thief who
steals that most valuable of all prizes
"a good name,-is at work; when the
clouds of adversely thicken around:
when one by one the friends in whom
We have reposed confidence in, drop
away, and we realize that we must face
a ruthless world slngle-handed, then it
is that the value of christian faith be-
comes appreciated then it is that the
christian thanks God and takes courage.
as did the apostle, believing the promise
of the bible, which assures him that
"these light Affections, which are but
for moment, shall work out for us a
far more exceeding and eternal weight
of glory" How grand, how glorious.
and how comforting is the thought, when
friends and neighbors misjudge US, and
censure us for the deeds we feel ita duty
to perform, that we have not to be Judge
by human judgment in the last great
reckoning day, but the judge will be
Omniscient, will base His Judgment
upon the motives of the heart, and not
on outward appearances The true
christian has blessings along his pathway
here which no one else can ever know
And faith-true faiths the key which
unlocks these treasures and places theu
within his reach. w. H. w.

Terrible Marine Disaster.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-Particulars of terrible
marine disaster in the English channel have
just been received in London. The emigrant
ship Northfeet which sailed from here several
days ago for Australia, with 412 passengers,
exclusive of her crew. was in collision at mid
night, two miles off Duugenness, with an un-
known foreign steamship, and was cut to the
waters edge. No attention was paid by the
steamship to the emigrant vessel after the
collision, and she proceeded on her course,
leaving the sufferers to their fate The
Northaeet was lying at anchor at the time the
collision occurred. Her. cargo consisted of
railway iron. Three hundred aud twenty one
persons were drowned, including the captain
of the ill>fated vessel.
When the collision occurred the passengers
on the Northfeet who were asleep rushed
from their berths to every portion of the ship
where they thought they might be safe, and
utterly refused to obey the orders of the cap
tain. That officer, as last resort to enforce
obedience to his commands. was compelled to
tire upon the terror-stricken people, and one
Of them was wounded. 1t is believed that if
the passengers had obeyed the orders of the
captain more of them would have been saved.
The name of the steamer which ran into
the ship has not yet been ascertaiued. but she
is believed to be Portuguese craft. Her
name cannot be ascertained until she arrives
at her destination. The board of trade of this
city has offered reward of selO0 for her dis
coverv
L"ter,-Twelve other persons have been
saved from the emgran. ship Northfeet,
which makes ninety seven lives known to have
been saved. The Llnvds have telegraphed to
their agents at all the southern stations to
stop. it possible, the steamer which ran the
Northheet down.

HOW CRIME IS PUNISHED in
RUSSIA.

A sample of Russian civilization is afford>
ed in recent specimen of its justice, graphi-
cally described in the New York World
Some time ago it was discovered that the great
Empire. was flooded with counterfeit bank
notes. The cunning and obsequious police
we read of in Polish novels were set to work
to discover the authors. The result of their
investigations was the arrest of some FIVE
hundred people, including every class of So
cietv. Princes and peasants, merchants and
small traders-every class was represented
After being kept in the foulest of prisons, aud
half starved and punished with the knout for
many months, these wretched captives were,
on November 18th, brought before the Chief
Justice for sentence. These were among the
punishments inflicted six were sentenced to
death, ninety-four were sent to the gold mines
of -Ural for life, sixty to the same captivity
for twenty five years, while ffty>two were let
off with the mild infliction of four years inn
prisonmeut in Russian prisons Those who
were condemned to death and to the gold mines,
numbering one hundred and sixty, we're also
sentenced to be branded upon their foreheads
with "an ensign deno.ing the unmitigable
felon and the irreclaimable enemy of society,"
The newspaper from which VIC get these facts
says: "When the sentence was pronounced
wild and piercing cries arose from the prison
ers, which not all the efforts of the court could
still. But detachment of Cossacks armed
with heavy thongs, entered the judicial arena
aud, with great talent and directness of pur-
pose, reduced the plaintive criminals to silence"
These were dreadful, if not revolving, pun.
ishments, but this is the way the Gear deals
with offenders. In Russia an officer of the
Government as well as all others who are dis
covered as defaulters or thieves, are at once
hanged. IF this practice prevailed in the
United States we would have 60 Republican
party.
