Duties and Delights.

In living the Christian Ute, in the COM
mon course Of events, We find that there
are some things Which we are expected to
do as a matter of course, some that we are
to do as Il matter of duty, and some us a
matter of delight.
As a matter Of course, we are to live in
obedience to law, divine and human. We
are to commit no crime. We are to all
stain from all vices. We are to be up
right in our conduct and honorable in
our dealings. We are to keep the second
table Of the law, and to love our neighbor
as we do ourselves. We are to do unto
others us we wish them to do to us. And
we arc to keep the Lords day, attend on
sacred ordinances, maintain daily wor-
ship in our households, and sustain meet
lngs for prayer by theconstancy and cheer
of our presence.
As a matter Of duty, we are to give our
utmost toward the maintenance of Gospel
institutions, the spread of Christian ruth,
and the redemption of mankind. We are
to take our part in the conducting of
prayer.mectings, the teachings of Sun
day-schools, The visitations of the sick, the
relief of the poor, the deliverance of the
wrongcd and the reformation of the de-
PRAYED. These things, and such as these,
are classed as duties, because there NAV
be something disagrecabIe, in one way or
another, in them; something repuisive,
something trying, something that de-
mands sacrifice and denial; in a word,
something in the nature of a cross. Now,
that which brings with it a cross, real or
imaginary, isnotd done as amatter %ofcourse,
nor is it marked with any special delight;
and it can be done; ordinarily, only as a
duty-a something we do because it is
right to do it, and We must, rather than
because we have any great or direct en-
joymcnt in it.
AS a matter of delight we are to have
communion with God in prayer, in med.
ltatton, in song, in worship, by means of
His works, His providences, His word.
his spirit. We are to have delight in
Gods being, in Gods kingdom, in Gods
people, In Gods truth, as In nature and
art, beauty and sublimity.
We see at once that our labor should be
on the one hand to get rid, as fast as DOS.
sible, of sins, faults, follies and and in
frmities; and IN the other hand to lift
our matter-ofcourse things as far as pos.
sible into hesacrednesso of duties, and our
things done as duties into the blessedncss
of our delights; and to persevere in this
until we have carried them all into that
exalted region of holy attainment where all
things spring of good will; and things of
expectation, and things of obligation, and
things OF delight have alike their charms.
and pains and trials are gone because self
and sin have passed sway.-Rsu. DR.,
Stone, IN tile Pacific.

These have become the most popular of
large musical instruments. There are
now about two hundred and fifty makers
Of them in the United States, who produce
more than forty thousand organs per an
mum. Most of these are very poor instru-
mcnts. This Is naturally so, because there
are few articles in the manufacture of
which so much saving can be made blythe
use of inferior, improperly-prepared ma.
terial and inferior workmanship, and vet
which, when finished, show SO little diff:
ference to the average purchaser. The
important parts of an organ, made as well
as they can be, cost two or three times as
much as if made as low as possible. Yet,
when the organ is done, ii is not easy,
from casual hearings, to tell the difference
between the best and IA very poor one. Es-
p~ecially when shown by one who knows
how to cover up defects, to one who has
not special skill in such matters, it is not
difficult to make a poor organ appear q
good one.
The temptation to makers, then, to pro-
duce, at a fraction of the cost, an organ
which will sell almost as we'll as a good
one is almost Irresistible. Hence the fact
that so few good organs are made and so
many poor ones, and hat the country is
flooded with peddlers and dealers selling
these poor organs, which pay such large
profits. The buyer Of the poor organ does
not fail to find out his mistake after a
while. The thin, reedy tone of his cheap
organ soon becomes offensive, it works
noisily and rough, is constantly out of
order, and becomes useless by the time a
really good instrument would have been
getting into its prime. A good organ
ought to last a generation, at least; Il poor
one may last five years, with considerable
inkering, or may break down much
onc
There is one safe way. Get a genuine
production of one of the very bestmakers
and you cannot go astray. Among these
undoubtedly stands pre-eminent the
Mason Il Hamlin Organ Co., whose
organs are so well known that other
makers are generally content to claim
that they can make as good an. organ as
the Mason & Hamlin. They Invented
and introduced the Cabinet OF ParIor
Organ in its improved form, started with
and have always closely adhered to the
policy of making only the best work,
have shown such skill as has given their
organs the highest reputation, not only
in this country but also in Europe. At
the Great Exposition at Vienna, in com.
petition with eighty of the best makers
in the world, they obtained the highest
medals. To enumerate the competitions
at which they have received similar
honors would be to give a list OF the
fairs at which they have exhibited; and
to mention the prominent musicians who
recommend their organs as unequaled
would really be to give a very good list
of the most illustrious musical names in
the country, with a good representation
in Europe.
One who obtains a Mason & Hamlin
Cabinet Organ need have nc doubt that
he has the best instrument of it's class
which can be made.-NeU York Inde-
pendent.

JESUS OF NAZARETH PASSEZW
RY

What means this eager, anxious throng,
Which moves with busy haste along,
These wondrous gatherings day by day?
What means this strange commotion, pray
In accents hushed the throng reply:
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.n
Who is this Jesus? Why should He
h city move SO nightly?
Apassing stranger, has He skill
To move the multitude at will!
Again the stirring notes reply:
"Jesus Of Nazareth passeth by"
Jesusl tits He who once below
Mans pathway trod, mid pain and voc;
And burdened ones, where'er He came,
Brought out their sick and deaf and lame
The blind rejoiced to hear the cry:
"Jesus Of Nazareth passeth by"
Again He comes! From place to place
His footprints we can trace.
He pauseth at our threshold-nay,
He entcrs-condescends to stay.
Shall VIC not gladly raise the cry:
"Jesus Of Nazareth passeth by~
Ho! all We heavy laden, come!
Here's pardon, comfort, rest and home.
Ye wanderers from q Fathers face,
Return, accept His profered grace.
Ye tempted ones. there's refuge nigh
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by"
But if you still His call refuse,
And all His woudrous love abuse,
Soon viii He sadly from you turn,
Your bitter prayer for pardon spurn.
"Too late! too late!" will be the cry.
"Jesus of Nazareth has passed by"

The Lapps.

A WRITER thus speaks of the Lapps,
who inhabit Northern Finmark: "There
are distinctions Of rank among them,
arising largely from considerations Of
wealth. Their wealth consists almost ex-
clusively of reindeer, which are bought
and sold, inherited and given as marriage
portions. Some Of the most wealthy have
many thousand reindeer, and have hired
servants to tend them. But their ~aristoc.
racy is of the primitive kind and does not
depart from the simple habits and modes
Of life Of their ancestors. The rich man
lives in the same smoky and filthy hut as
the poor, only it is larger, because it must
be so to accommodate his larger family;
for his servants, or herders, are strictly
members Of his family and live on an APP
parent equality with himself. The great
kettle is hung over the fire in the middle
of the hut and filled with the flesh of the
reindeer, and when it is boiled all 90 up
and help themselves alike, with fingers or
sticks, or with forks and spoons made of
the bones or antlers of the deer, or their
sheath knives, which always hang at the
hip of young and old. All sleep together
in the hut, on the pallets Of decr-skins,
wherever they can hnd room. The most
wealthy, as well as the poorest, dress in
deerskin trousers and coat, which comes
nearly to the knees, and are girded by a
broad belt around the waist. These skins
are tanned and made into garments in
each household. All that L saw were
tanned with the hair on and were made
up with the hair on the inside. Their
shoes are a kind of moccasin, made from
the skin taken from the legs of the deer,
where the hair IS short and firm, and much
more durable than from other parts of the
deer. They are constructed with the hair
outward. They come up around the
ankles, have a seam under the hollow of
the foot, forward of which the hairs have
a backward set, and behind which the
hairs have q forward set, which prevents
slipping. They differ from the Indian
moccasin in having a regular sole, which,
however, is but one thickness of the skin.
The Lapps wear them considerably larger
than the feet, so that they can wrap the
feet in a good coating of dried grass,
which is placed in most of them. Nearly
all the Lapps wear caps of a uniform
style, mostly made of cloth, SO far as l
saw, but some of skins. They consist of
a heavy, broad band around the forehead,
surmounted with a large, square crown,
with sharp points or angles, to some of
which small tassels were attached

There is in Amherst County, Va, says
the Lynchburg Republican, a tree which
presents a curious phenomenon in the
science of dendrology. About a quarter
of a century ago, as tradition has it, a
hole was cut through the trunk of this
tree, in which a beam was inserted to be
used in prizing tobacco. The beam was
subsequently moved, and in the lapse of
time the hole closed up and now hardly
a trace Of it remains. The heart of the
tree was, however, destroyed and the
trunk became hollow from the ground to
where the branches began to spread out.
The tree bears annually a large crop of
walnuts, OF good size and fine appearance,
but no kernel has ever been found in any
OF them since the trunk Of the giant tree
became hollow.
