God might, il he pleased, wrap him
self with night as u garment; he might
put the stars round his wrists for brace
lets, and bind the suns around his brow
for coronet; he might dwell alone,
far, far above this world, up In the
seventh heaven, and look down with
calm and silent indifference; and i, as
one of his creatures, might stand by
night upon a mOuntain-tOp, and look
upon the silent stars and say, "Ye are
the eyes Of God, but ye look not down
on me. God, the mighty Creator, has
forgotten me; 1 am an atom in the
mountain OF existence. He knows me
not; am alone, alone, alone" But it
is not so, beloved. Our God is Of an
other order. He notices every one OF
us; there is not sparrow or worm
but is found in his DEGREES. There IS
not person upon whom his eye is not
fixed. Our most secret acts are known
to him. Whatsoever We do, or bear, or
suffer, the eye of God still rests upon
us, and we are beneath his smile-for
we are his people; or beneath his frown
for we have erred from him.

Here Is an aged mother-aged, but
not infirm. You think you will have
the joy for caring for her wants good
while yet. As she goes from house to
house, to children and grandchildren,
her coming Is dropping Of sunlight in
the dwelling. Your children see her
coming through the lane, and then
cry, "GraDdmother's come" Care
for you has marked up her face with
many a deep wrinkle, and her back
stoops with carrying your burdens.
Some day she is very quiet. She says
she Is not sick, but something tells you,
you will not much longer havea moth
er. She will sit with you no more at
the table or at the hearth. Her soul
goes out 80 gently, you do not exactly
know the moment Of its going. Fold
the hands that have done 50 many
kindnesses for you right over the heart
that has beat with love toward you
since before you were born. Let the
pilgrim rest. She sweary.- Talmage.

How Mark Twain Got o Seat.


In new local magazine-THe Globe
published in Buffalo, is the following
reminiscence of Mark Twain's brief ed
itorial career in that city.
No man detested loafers more than
Mr.. Clemens, and assuredly no man
could be more pitiless in his treatment
of bores. He was vigorous in his de-
nunciation of that class of people who
aimlessly and impudently intrude
their constant presence in an editorial
room. One incident will, perhaps,
bear relating, showing how he once re-
buked a party of undesired visitors.
Arriving at his Office enc evening
about half-past eight o'clock, he found
it full of men-all strangers to him.
They had apparently taken full pos
session of the room. Some were smOk-
ing and some had their feet upon the
table and every chair in the room was
occupied. With look of disgust Mr..
Clemens hesitated for a moment in the
doorway and then in his peculiar way
said:
s'Is this the editorial room Of the
Expressf'
"Yes, sir" promptly chorused the
assemblage.
"H-m! is it customary for the sdi-
tors to sit do Hn ?" questioned the hu-
morist.
eyes," "certainly," "to be sure" /"
were the replies ofthe puzzled smokers.
"Why do you ask ?" said one Of them.
Because" slowly enunciatsd Mr..
Clemens, 81 am one Of the editors Of
the cypress, and it occurred to me l
ought 10 have a seat"
In an instant every chair was va
Gated and the men, somewhat abashed,
attempted to laugh the matter off by
saying "Ah! Mr.. Clemens that was
neat" "witty as usual" etc., etc., but
there was something in the joker's eye
that quickly told them that he was in
no joking frame of mind at that mo-
ment. After that loafers were rather
shy of Mark Twain.

We imagine with wonder the passage
of comet through space, flaming and
sparkling along strange paths, and
glowing upon stars innumerable as it
goes; but that is not half as wonderful
as the passage Of the human heart.
flaming, and sparkling, and glowing
with ten thousand effects shot out upon
every man We meet, as We mova
through life. Planets are cold and
dead, and all their radiance falls with
out effect; but the human soul, as it
passes up and down the ways of its e1-
perience, is producing ten thousand ef-
fects at every single moment, many OF
which we know nothing about.-[St.
Augustine.
The Bible is q very large, wide forest,
wherein stand many trees Of all kinds,
from which We can gather many kinds
of fruit. For In the Bible We have
rich consolation, doctrine, instruction.

threatenings. But In all this forest
there is not q tree which have not
shaken, and broken Off at least pair
of apples or pears from it.-lLuther.

Brick Pomeroy's Democrat is dead
at last; the large sign on the Sun build
ing, which pointed out its local habi-
tation, having been taken down.
Pomeroy is said to have lost about $780,
600 by his attempt to transfer his jour-
nalistic blackguardism from La Crosse.
The Railroad Builder tells the truth
when it says: "The rail, which ought
to be the most honest part ofa railway,
since so many lives depend upon it, Is
generally the object of as much job
berry as any part of it. When roads are
being built, and are poor, any rails are
taken that can be bought with bonds.
Michigan is going to treat its cOnvicts
with consideration. Hereafter they are
freed from the humiliation of wearing
striped garments, and can correspond
with their friends. The State also pro-
vides for their education, and gives

clothes, ten dollars in cash and such
money rs he may have earned by over

Growth Claimed for the Roman
Catholic Church.

Father Spalding, a Roman Catholic
priest of Louisville, delivered parting
lecture to his congregation, in which
he INDUCED in the most sanguine anti
cipations of the final supremacy of the
Romish religion in this country. He
admits that formerly many foreigners
were lost to the church on coming to
this country because there were not q
sufficient number of priests to look af-
ter them. But now there are sixty
four dioceses in this country, and go
where you will there is a priest; and
the lecturer believes that now the great
mass of Roman Catholic emigrants are
saved to the Church. The number of
priests has doubled in the last ten years,
now reaching to 5000. One-fifth of the
natives-to-wit, 5000, ,0O0-are Roman
Catholics, and they are making re-
markable conversions. In Baltimore,
thirteen per cent. of the confirmations
are of converts from the other sects.-
New England, too, Father Spalding
claims, is becoming Catholic faster than
any other section. One-third of the
population of Massachusetts Is Irish,
and that third have more children than
the other two-thirds. "In the pro-
gress of tine," exclaims the enraptur-
ed priest, "we will have a New Ireland
in New England; if We simply hold our
own for few years we will be a most
powerful church. Professionalism is
more name than a fact at present.
New England was once the great
stronghold Of Professionalism, but now
it has changed greatly. Professionalism
is an undemOcratic religion. A poor
man is as out of place in some Of the
large churches Of New York rs he wo'd
be in the palace of king. A poor
mans only business in some of these
large Protestant churches of n. York,
built by millionaires, is to fix the gas.
pipes, or something like that" The
lecturer claimed that the war was bro't
on by New England clergymen, and
that the result of the war had been
greatly to the advantage Of the Roman
Catholic religion.-Clev. Herald.

The first experiment in illustrated
daily journalism would seem to have
turned out surprisingly well. The New
York Graphic asserts that its circula-
ton is now larger than that of any
evening newspaper In the U. States
and more than double the combined
circulation of any two evening papers
printed In New York city.
