Why People Don't go to Church.

Why do not people goto church moref
One thinks 1t is this. and anOtherth
ii is this, and another thinks it is that.
You can open a church in a hOvel, and
let voice go forth that it has the pow
er of touching men, and you will find
it crowded and thronged. You do not
want the cob that used to have the
corn. That which men want Is slppy
food. refreshing food. Men are willing
to be dealt with. to have their con-
sciences aroused, but do not want to be
handled. They want preacher that
takes hold of them IN some way, and, If
he can, do more than that; if he can
give to them that which every man con-
scientiOusly needs-sOme men have as
piratiOns, and some more indulge in
superficial thOught-and if we can give
him strength to bear his buIuen.
Men that are sore in life; men who
are in sorrow; men who don't know
how to bring up their children, and
who are continually having more and
more added to their flock; people who
want to know where the next hOd of
coal is coming from; people who are
afraid of the sheriff; men who are
pricked with 10000 nettles of human
life-they come to church and hear a
long discussion on the fall of Adam.
Well, that is not inOpportune, but still
they're so fiat themselves that they feel
as if they would like to know some
thing that deadens the struggle that is
going on within them; they want some
one who will take part with them, a
minister who brings God down to the
side of men, not as the everlasting
condemner, but one who brings God
down rs present help in time of
trouble.

Good Society.

A man Of high position in the world
made it rule to associate with men OF
exalted minds. Better to hog among
kings" says the homely old adage,
'than king among hogs. Choose good
company, or no company. Sir Thomas
Fowell Buxton often spoke of the great
benefits he had derived from his visits
to q particular family. Their words
and example stimulated him to make
the most of his powers. cit has given
color to my whole life," he said.
Speaking of his success at the univer-
sity, he remarked, 81 can ascribe it to
nothing but my visits to this family,
where 1 caught the infection of self
improvement" Surely, if our visits
have such an influence upon our char
acters for life, it should be q matter of
serious importance to us in what fami-
lies We allow ourselves to be intimate.
Boys and girls form attachments very
easily, ahd often with very little fore
thought. In this, as in all things else,
you should not fail to take advice Of
those who are older and wiser. and
never, never choose for q friend one
against whom you have been warned by
those who dearly love you. There are
people whose very presence seems to
lift you up into better atmosphere.
Choose such associates whenever it is
in your power, and the more you can
live in their society the better, for both
mind and heart. "He that walketh with
wise men shall be wise but a compan-
ion of fools shall be destroyed"

A Cool Fisherman.

81 mel, the other day, writes foreign
sportsman, with an Englishman who
travels some hundreds of miles every
year to indulge in his favorite sport of
trout-fshing. believe that, provided
stream was uudisturbed' this enthusias-
tic fisherman would be but little con-
cerned if the whole world was SUBJ
merged in q second deluge, as may be
judged by the following anecdote {:
One day he was exploring the banks of
his favorite stream, accompanied by the
landlord of the inn at which he was
stopping. The latter happening to come
too close just at the moment when his
guest was throwing his fly, the hook
caught the poor wretch's eyelid, causing
him intense pain. The sportsman coolly
took out the hook, readjusted the fly,
and, as the innkeeper continued, howl
ing at the top of the voice. You can,
said he, in whisper, put your eye
down in your bill but I'll trouble you
to stop that noise. 80 As not to frighten
my fsh."

Relations of Temperature to
Life.

Life in general is possible only be-
tween certain limits of temperature;
and life of the higher kinds is possible
only within a comparatively narrow
range of temperature, maintained ar
tifcially if not naturally. Hence it re-
suits that social life, presupposing as
it does not only human life, but that
life vegetal and animal on which human
life depends, is restricted by certain
extremes of cold and heat.
Cold, though great, does not rigor-
ously exclude warm -blooded creatures,
if the locality supplies in adequate
quantity the means of generating heat.
The arctic Fauna contains various
marine and terrestrial mammals, large
and small; but the existence of these
depends, directly or indirectly, on the
existence of the inferior marine crea-
lures, vertebrate and invertebrate, which
would cease to live there did not the
warm currents from the tropics check
the formation of ice. Hence such hu-
man life as We find in arctic regions,
dependent as it is mainly on that Of
these mammals, is also remotely de-
pendent on the same source of heat

What is Respectable Society {:

We heard q man, otherwise intelli-
gent enough, lately sneer at another,
because" said he, Zone never meets
HIM in respectable society" The
speaker did not mean, however, that
the person he affected to look down
npon was immoral, but merely that his
circle of intimates was not composed of
the fashionable or rich. This notion
of what constitutes respectable society
is quite q favOrite one with that class
of individuals whom Thackerav has so
significantly called "snobs." Empty
pretense is always making its own
characteristics standard by which it
strives to measure the respectability at
large. In community of mere money
getting, wealth is the test of respecta-
bility. Among the proud, narrow
minded, ,respectability depends on being
descended from ancestors who have
married their cousins for so many cen
turies that neither muscles nor brains
are left any longer to degenerate de-
scendants. Every conceited fool thinks
himself, in like way, the only man
really welghty, the only person who is
really respectable. But true respecta-
bility depends on no such adventitious
circumstances. To be respectable is to
be worthy of respect; and he most de-
serves respect who has the most virtue.
The humblest man, who bravely does
his duty, is more worthy of respect, is
more truly respectable than the covet-
GUS millionaire among his money-bags,
or the arrogant monarch on his throne.
The fine lady who backbites her neigh
Dor is less worthy than an honest wash
er-woman. The proHigate noble, though
he may wear a dozen orders in his but
ton-hole, is often really not as respect
able as the shoe-black who cleans his
boots. That which is called the "world"
exalts the one and despises the other;
but it does not make them respectable
according to the real meaning of the
word. Their responsibility is but q
shallow sham, as they themselves fire.
quently feel: and those who worship
them boE down to a Fetich-a thing of
feathers and tinsel. The selfish, idle
drone who wastes life in his own graft
6cation, and dissipates the fortune Of
his progeny, is not and cannot be re-
spectacle; but the hard-working and
self-denying father, who wears out his
life to bring up his children, is, even
though he be day laborer, entitled to
distinctive respect. Nothing an make

Look we'll to the time of doing any
thing; there is a time for all things.
Choose the right time for saying things.
II YOUR wife looks wearied and worn
out. be sure il is not the right time to
tell her that the dinner is not hot, or
that the bread is sour. Comfort her,
cheer her up. Use the ten thousand
little stratagems you were won't to
handle SO skillfully in the old days, to
bring out the smiles around her lips.
II you are annoyed or vexed at peo-
pie, Just remember it is not the right
time to speak. Close your mouth, shut
your teeth together firmly, and it will
save YOU many q useless and unavailing
regret, and bitter enemy.
If you happen to feel little cross,
and who among US does not at some
time or other do not select that season
for reproving your noisy household
flock. One word spoken in passion will
make q scar that summer of smiles
can hardly heal over.
If you are a wife. never tease your
husband when he comes home weary
from his days business. 1t is not the
time, Do not ask him for expensive
ontlays when he has been talking of
hard times it is most assuredly the
wrong time.
If he has entered upon any undertak-
ing against your advice, do not seize the
moment of ITS failure to say, II told
YOU SO - In fact, it is never the right
time for those four monosyllables.
II people only knew enough to dis
crimininate between the right time and
the wrong, there would be less domestic
unhappiness, and less silent sorrow, and
less arrangement of hearts The great
est calamities that ever shadow our
lives have sometimes their germ in
matters as apparently slight as this. If
you pause, reader, before the stinging
taunt or the biting sneer. the unkind
scoff passes your lips, pause Just long
enough to ask yourself. sis it the right
time for me to speak ?" you would shut
the door against many heart ache.
The world hinges on small things
and there are not many more trivial
than the right time and the wrong.

Poetry.
TRAILING ARBUTUS.
BY THOMAS cALyER-

When lulls the bowling northern wind,
And rests its curse Of iow'ry death;
Its anger soothed to mood more kind,
By kisses of the south winds breath;
And ice and Snow no longer hold
The impulse Of the yearning earth,
Then on the bed of moss clad mold,
The sweet srbutus has its birth.
The sylvan shadows darkly frovn
Upon the modest little plant;
The lofty pines with scorn look down,
And scarce ray of light viii grant;
But yet it opes its tiny star.
And heralds the approach of spring,
And song-birds gather from afsr,
The joyful news to sweetly sing.
So. humble though may be our lot,
And ev'ry view with shadows frsught
And sunlight seem to reach US not.
And our aspirings seem as naught,
We may uplift the silver star
OF hope and love each heart should hold.
And gather from pure hearts afar
The songs of joy the rays of gold

Rest OfOld Age.

1 covet rest neither for myself nor my
friends, SO long as We are able to work |;
but when age or weakness comes on,
and hard labor becomes an unendurable
burden, the necessity of work is deeply
painful, and it seems to imply an evil
state of society wherever such a ne
cessity generally exists. Ones child
hood should be tranquil, as ones old
age should be playful; headwork at
either extremity seems to me out of
place. The morning and the evening
should be alike peaceful; at midday
the sun may burn, and men may labor
under it-Dr. arnold.

SIGNIFICANT NAMEs.-Did you ever
consider the significance of the names
of places connected with the earthly
career of Jesus Christ He was born
at Bethlehem, the house of bread. He
is the living bread for our souls. He
was brought up at Nazareth, the place
of shrubs or sprouts. He is a tender
shoot out of the stem of Jesse. He

MISCELLANEOUS.
YEARS AFTER.

never loved him for awhile
We were two passing friends; and yet
learned to prize the slow, sad smile
Which touched his features when we met
His words OF greeting, light and brlef,-
The clasp his fingers left on mine,-
And saw, with vague unspoken grief,
The signs which marked his life's decline.
And when awaiting certain doom,
He lay at last, serene and calm,
often sought his lonesome room,
with MOWERS and words of friendly balm;
And when bathed his aching brow
or read, or taked-still, all the while,
His earnest eyes-they haunt me now
Repaid me with that slow, sad smile.
At last, one day, when gathering shades
Made the spring landscape chill and drear,
He said: "Dear FRIEND the sunshine fades;
Tomorrow shall not be here.
aAnd when you come, you will not see
This trembling hand, this thinning face,
So-you were always kind to me-
Grant me. pray, one gift OF grace.
~ cannot reach you where you stand,
Come closer, while say good goodbye,
Nay closer-let me hold your hand,
And kiss you once before die"
All, why that sudden storm of tears?
did not love him-wherefore then
Would have given all my years
10 bring him back to life again?
And when, next morn, beside the door,
waited In the soft May rain,
They told me he had gone before,
And had culled my flowers In VAIN.
All, why, when half a score Of years
Across his low, green grave have moved,
DO bedew with bitter tears
The grave of one never loved?
We were but casual friends, at BEST
word smile, and all was said;
stood not near his heart, nor guessed
That should grieve If he were dead
And yet, II on the earth there he
one soul that holds me half so dear
AS his last blessing Is to me,
Or his sad memory, year by year.
1t will be all ask or crave,
To smooth my bed or bless my sleep,
Even though the whisper haunt my grave,
~ did not love her-wherefore weep?n
