A Touching Incident.


The Chicago Times relates the following
relative to the tribute of Northern Wother
to a Southern soldier
A little incident like the following will
tend more toward bringing about healthy
feeling of kindness between the North and
the South than all the formal reconciliation
that oilicious and ingenious minds can devise.
A New York lady noticing that Major Jones
of Montgomery, Alabama, in pronouncing an
Grafton over the confederate dead had none
but kindly words for those who fell on the
other side, and expressed himself eloquently
and feelingly in favor Of complete reconcilia-
ton, commissioned a jewelry firm 10 send
him silver cup suitably engraved as ex-
pressive of her appreciation Of the sentiments
he expressed and the regard for him which
they gave rise to. Her name was withheld,
at her DESIRE but her letter TO the ieweler
was forwarded with the testimonial. In it
she said, "fhe war widowed me and took
away my two sons For long time felt
as if | could never forgive those who slew
the defenders of the " stars and Stripes,
but when think OF the war-widowed moth
ers of the South, and see such language as
this, it makes me tenderer and iuster TO the
South. | feel that men like Major Jones
must be noble and true in heart, AND they
fought and died because they thought IL was
right | want them 10 feel that such senti-
ments echo in the Northern heart, and in
truth tend TO draw the whole country to-
gether for its sealing"

quired." 81 understand said Mr., Spur
geon; "but let me see--you have had the
use of this money ten years." Yes"
During that time it must have been worth
10 you at least ten per cent. per annum?'
" Well, dare say" Then, my dear sir,
You have got the money, without troubling
me. Go and build the chapel" And the
applicant departed, satisfied with this bust

God the Father.


If there is conception of God and Of
Jesus Christ which will be able all through
the next fifty years to battle against the new
forms of atheism rising above the horizon it
is the conception of God as Father wise
loving and loycahlc This alone will prove
equal to this grave task. God must not be
an intellectual belief only, much less mere
tyrant but lie must he enthroned in the
heart as the blessed source of its life, and
the foundation of all its grand hopes beyond.
God and heaven must be made so loveable
that science cannot pluck them from the
soul. Yesterday there came TO me words
from three human hearts. Two were letters
from persons who had been mtdels all
through life, but who now in older years con-
fess that loving God is building up in their
hearts a longing for Immortality. The third
message was from a mother who wished me
to bury her only child called from her home
in its sixth year. She said look to our
heavenly Father and find perfect peace.
This is the picture of God and of Christ that
will meet atheism all along, and make the
banner OF our Lord wave above our race at
last, when the colors Of atheism shall have
faded and been torn by storms from the staff

Ar dinner-table, in the cabin of an Eng
lish steamboat, there sat a conceited young
man who thought he displayed his own inn
portance by abusing everything placed be-
fore him. A clergyman present remonstra-
ted with him, but in vain. Even on deck
he continued his complaints OF the ill-cooked,
unsayory fare, until the clergyman, thor
oughly disguised, turned away, and, walk
ing down the steerage noticed an old man
in his homespun and well-worn shepherds
plaid, crouching behind the paddle-box,
where he thought himself unobserved lie
took from his pocket piece of dry bread
and cheese, and, laying them down before
him, reyerently took of his blue bonnet,
his thin White hairs streaming in the wind,
clasped his hands together and blessed God
for his mercy. In the great Giver's hands
lie gifts of many kinds, and TO the scantest
dole OF this worlds fare we oftentimes see
added that richer boon-a grateful heart.

A TREE, when in full LEAKAGE, drops great
deal Of refreshment but in little while the
sun strikes through and you keep shifting
your position, until after a while, the sun is
set at such point that you have no shade
at at ALL But go in the heart of some great
rock, such as you see in Yosemite or the
Alps, and there is everlasting shadow
There has been thick shade there for six
thousand years, and will be for the next thou
sand. So our Divine Rock, once covering
us, always covers US. The saIue yesterday,
to-day and forever always good, always
kind, always sympathetic You often hold a
sunshade over your head passing along the
road or street; but after a while your arm
gets tied, and the very effort to create the
shadow makes you weary But the rock in
the mountains, with fingers of everlasting
stone, holds il. own shadow, So Gods
sympathy needs no holding up from us.
