THE Peace Of God.

One Of the clpilal errors Is the mistak.
iug of animal cheer'ulnoss for Gods peace.
Older Christians often detail for religious
experience joys that bayo their foundation
in placiity of tompor, or healthiness Of
the physical constitution. There are peo-
pie whose very ovcr-hopcfuluess makes
them lead sunny lives, aud other people
sometime fancy their own Christian expe-
ranco lacking because they are not thus
sanguine But ihe peace Of God is some-
thin, deeper than this. Paul was not a
man Of sunny icmper or Of great consti-
tutional hopauIrca. lie saw the clouds,
and scony fa.t the polting Of the storm.
lie was q man Of bilious constitution and
of energetic unrest The placid repose
which some people find, never came to him.
He was tcmpcs'-tc-scd within as well as
without And yet Pan's stormy nature
found always q peace within the storm,
and q victory over the shipwreck. lie
could glory 10 ribulation and triumph over
defeat He knew how to be cast down in
an imrenetrable melancholy, caused, no
doubt by physical exhaustion but when
cast down be was not destroyed Perhaps
no Christian ever suffered more from out
ward battles and inward depressions than
he and perhaps none ever had a more con-
tinuous aud lifelong victory. For one
thing. Paul did not let his faith in God de-
pend on bis state Of mind or body. He did
not insist that he would believe in God
only when be felt cheerful This is what
many people do. They cannot believe that
God loves them. or receives them, or is
their Father, until Ilo works a miracle, and
gives them q chcerfu'ness Of disposition that
does not pertain to their tcmperameut.-

The Law of BcnoYoIence.

The divine beneyolence, as we sec it IL
lustrated in the supply Of our physical and
spiritual wants, means that God gives US
the means by which we supply ourselves.
He has created US with the power of doing
it, and he gives US the means Of doing it,
So far does the Almighty Father go with
US, his children. lie helps us in every way
he does for US directly comparatively
little. If this, then, is the law of divine
beuoyolonce, it certainly should be ours.
The law Of benevolent human actions should
then, be simply-perhaps we may say,
quite exclusiyey-to give those who are
in any way needy, help, i. Q. the means of
helping themselves. In so far as we actu-
ally do for them that which they can do
for themselves, we are not living in obedi-
ence to the law Of the divine action with
regard to the relieving of human suffering.

A good Methodist clergyman Of New
York, having applications at night, this
winter, for food and shelter from more la
borors Ont Of work and outcasts than be
could relieve was not couteuted to pass
them on TO bis richer neighbor and shut his
door but at the suggestion Of member
Of his congregation, called in two or three
of his friends, a few weeks ago, honest,
well.meaniug men like himself, to devise
some efficient aid The best they could do
was to apply for the use of vacant police
building, and have it scrubbed and fitted
with plain beds. The moment the first step
was taken, everybody was ready to help.
Gas and coal came from this quarter, bed
ding from that; restaurantkeepers sent
soups, bakers bread, housckeepers each a
little Of their abundance. The manage.
ment, bookkeeping, etc, were all given
caluitously; even the cook is a volunteer.
On December IS, the house was opened,
and fourteen homeless men were fed,
warmed, and provided with beds. The
next day, fifty came. The number was
steadily increased, each day last week,
over two hundred were received, given a
place to sleep and to wash their clothes,
and a comfortable supper and breakfast.
Many Of this number were in the very low
est walks of life, but there was a large pro.
portion Of clerks, book-koopcrs, mechanics,
etc., temporarily out Of employment 1t is

A gentleman was once making inquiries
in Russia about the method Of catching
bears in that country. He was told that,
to entrap them, pit was dug several feet
deep, and after covering it over with turf
leaves, etc, some food was placed on the
top. The bear, if tempted by the bait,
easily fell into the snare. " But" be added,
if four or five happon to get in together,
they all get out again" How is tbat2
asked the gentleman. They form a sort
of ladder by stepping on each others
shoulders, and thus make their escape"
" But how does the bottom one get out 2"
" Alb these bears, though not possessing
a mind and soul such as God has given US,
yet can feel gratitude; and they won't for.

of procuring their liberty. Scampering off,
they fetch the branch Of tree, which they
let down to their poor brother, enabling
him speedily to join them in the freedom
in which they rejoice Sensible bears, we
should say, are great deal better than
some people that we hear about, who never

4 Terrible Machine.

RoY's KITE.

1T WILL BLOW A SHIP HIGHER THAN GLIDE
RoY's KITE.
Mr. Lays torpedo, which it is expected
will be bought by Congress, is most re.
markable instrument of war. One of them
has been completed at Newport, and the
results achieved with it are marvellous in
the extreme. The machine is propelled by
carboic acid gas, generated on the boat,
and can be sent in any direction under the
water for distance Of two or three miles
\ man on the ship or on the shore, guides
it by means Of a magnetic wire, by which
he can explode it at any moment. 1t may
naturally be asked, Z" How is he to know
where the machine is when it is submerged
and how is he to know it went direct on its
mission 2n Attached to the boat, as in the
case of harbor torpedoes, is small stick,
but, unlike the others, it erects itself above
the surface. BY this, the director can tell
the precise location of the boat, and when
it touches the ship, bang, and away she
goes But this brings another question :
d" Suppose those aboard the vessel it is at
tempted to destroy observe the approach of
the stick, and know what it is, what is to
prevent them from lowering boat, getting
behind the torpedo, and cutting the wires ?"
Simply this Attached to the stern of the
torpedo is a smaller one, and when the boat
draws near, the torpedo is moved in posi-.
tion, and the smaller one is discharged at
the boat, smashing it to pieces and killing
those in it.. This is the Lay torpedo, de-
structiye, horrible engine, against which
there is 10 escape.
The Ericsson torpedo has just been COM
pleied on Long Island, where its inventor
has been privately experimenting with it..
Ii is q large affair, about twelve feet long
aud three wide, and reminds one in very
striking manner ofa huge coffin. Like the
Lay it is intended to be used from one ves-
sci against another, but it differs from it in
many details. 1t is operated by compressed
air, on the ship it is sent from, through a
flexible canvas pipe. Its position is ascer.
tanned in the same manner as Lays, and
when it has approached the object of attack,
within two hundred feet, the bomb, which
has been contained in the coflin-ike shell,
is discharged by the compressed air, and,
striking the vessel is exploded by per.
cussion shell, shattering the ship to pieces.

Two HIND. Of preachlng.

There are certainly two kinds of preach.
ing-tha emotional and the thoughtful
Methodist preaching is largely emotional,
aud long may It be so When the excita.
ton Of emotion is the predominant wish of
congregation, they are careless Of the
quality Of the thought supplied but as a
people become reflective they are less salts
fed with mere hortatory appeal Now the
one striking fact in the life Of our church
is that the people are becoming more re.
Elective. They have deeper hungering
than they had in former years for divine
knowledge. The failure Of the ministers
to notice this fact and to adapt themselves
to it is the reason of the comparative i'll.
success Of so many Of them in the midst of
their years. The change going on in Meth
odism is but part Of the change noticeable
in the entire country. Americans are be-
coming more thoughtful people as the ma
tion grows older. The yagaries of the prop
agators Of isms count for less than they did
years ago. More thoughtful legislators
aud more thoughtful legislation are de-
manded our literature aims at deeper,
more searching analysis Of the springs of
human conduct our education becomes
more thorough, our science more scientific ;
We are reaching our manhood. The minis
try must keep along with the progress of
the nation, and it will. 1t has been for
years leader Of our national thought, and
it will not easily surrender its time-honored
position. -Meth0diSt.

Young ladies' :. Eternal Friendships"


Many and desperate are their VOWS and
declarations No man shall sever them, is
the burden Of their song. Admitting that
they may be trapped into matrimony, which,
by the way, is a most remote contingency,
their husbands shall only have the second
place in their affections, is their declara-
ton. They care about no one but each
other and this they render evident by at
tempting to snub or treat with supercilous
indifference nine out Of every ten people
with whom they are brought in contact
Oae cannot have a thought without the
other being made acquainted with it one
cannot have q new shawl or new dress
without the other longing to procure one Of
q precisely similar pattern. OF secrets
they possess a countless number, and Of
each secret they are co-possessors. Traces
Of these secrets are ever coming to the sur
face. The love the fair creatures bear
toward each other is often bubbling up, and
thousand little endearmouts and caresses
are INDUCED in which very quickly enable
people to form an opinion as to the state Of
the case. \ large portion Of the friends "
time is spent in selecting gifts for each
other. The brooches, the charms, the ear
rings, the rings, the bracelets they wear
are all marks Of tho intense affection in
which they are mutually held. They can
not be separated without experiencing the
keeuest pangs and iniicting an immense
amount Of labor upon the postofice officials,
for which those functionaries are, no doubt,
sufficiently grateful, All this would be
very beautiful, were it not for several i'm
portant facts In general way the dis
play of affection, in its most exuberant de-
yelopments, is nothing more nor less than
simple aGactation. 1t is one Of the crazes to
which young ladies Of sentimental turn
Of mind seem to be addicted and which
is invariably generated by the reading Of
mawkish books or some flaw in the system
of education which has been pursued in re.
ference to them. Fortunately, it does not
last long-Neig York Albion.
