RELIGIOUS .MEETINGS.
MASONIC MEETINGS.

THINGS are pretty well balanced
in this world, so far as taking com
fort goes, and l begin to believe
that, high or low, all have their
tribulations. Fishes are hooked,
worms are trodden on, birds are fir
ed at. Worry is everywhere. Poor
mems wives worry because the
bread won't rise, or the stove won't
draw, or the clothes line breaks, or
the milk burns, or the pane of glass
is mended with putty, or they can't
afford to hire help: Rich mems wives
worry because the preserve dish is
not OF the latest pattern, or because
somebody finds out how party
dress is trimmed before the party
happens, or because some grandee's
wife overlooks them, or because
their help sauces them, breaks up
tea sets, spoils dinners, gets drunk,
and cuts up sheets into underclothes.
Causes vary, but worry averages
about the same. The scale Of miles
is different on different maps, but
places rema in just so far apart, and
so do humanity and content.

The COLONIZATION SOCIETY,"
1t would appear that this once. fa-
nous and useful society has become
somewhat like lighted lamp in the
day time. The annual report, pub
lished in the April number of the
african Repository, states that TWEEN
ty-seven emigrants have been sent
to Liberia during the current year.
The cost of that operation was
S4447; at the same time the pay
ments for salaries and eXpences
were S9SO7.9O. Thus the running
of the machinery was at more than
double the cost of the work for
which the machinery was construct
ed. In fact, the total expenses of
the society for the year were over
$4,000. The committee which has
charge Of the finances "earuestly
recommend to the executive COM
mittee to employ whatever instru-
mentalities they may judge wisest
to arouse the public mind in behalf
Of the work and the claims of the
society,"" The publication of these
statistics, however, will prove rath-
er damaging to the cultivation of
any effective enthusiasm in this line.

ONLY A CHILD.

OF all poor men the most to be
pitied is the poor rich man. The
man in absolute poverty can be
helped; but for the man who is
poor with his Golfers full Of gold
there is no earthly help-none, un-
less something can get down iuto
his heart and open the way for the
incoming of sunlight and warmth.
Such a transformation l once knew
and l will tell you how it was
wrought. 1t was done by only a
little child.
Rufus Grote was really and truly
miser, though he had probably
never acknowledged that fact to
himself. At the age Of sixty he
lived in close, small, shabby
house, in narrow street, though
where the streets were broad he
owned a whole row, the rental of
which yielded what might have
been a muniticent income for any
man.
In early life Rufus Grote had
been disappointed, so while yet a
young man he had shut himself up
within his shell, and through all
the years of his manhood he had
neither asked nor given love or
friendship. He took his usance,
even to the pound of flesh if it was
due him 10y the bond, and he was
as ready to discharge all bonded Oh
legations.
When people who knew Rufus
Grote wished to point to a man
without a heart they pointed to
him. They declared that he loved
no human being, not even himself.
That he did not love himself was
evident to them from the fact that
he gave to himself not a single com
fort of life which he could avoid
giving and at the same time live.
One evening just at dusk a coach
stopped at Rufus Grote's door aud a
lady dressed in black and accom-
panied by a child alighted therefrom
and piled the rusty iron knocker.
The miser answered the summons
and demanded to know the appli-
cant's business.
"Uncle Rufus," said the woman,
81 am Mary Sandford, and this is
my child. Will you give me shell
ter until l can find work 2"
Mary Sandford was the only
daughter of Rufus GrOte's dead sis
ter. He had heard of her hus-
bands death, and he had shudder.
