The Silver Bells.

In Eastern poetry they tell of won
drous tree, on which they grew golden
apples and silver bells; and every time
the breeze went by and tossed the frag-
rant branches, a shower of these golden
apples fell, and the living bell chimed
and tinkled forth their airy ravish-
lnent. On the gospel tree there grew
InelodiOus blossoms; sweeter bells than
those which mingle with the pome-
granates on Aaron's vest; holy feelings,
heaSen-taught joys; and when the
wind bloweth where it listeth, the
south wind waking, when the Holy
Spirit breathes upon the soul, there is
the shaking down of mellow fruits, and
the flow of healthy odors ali around,
and the gush of sweetest music, where
gentle tones and joyful echOings are
waited through the recesses of the SOUL
Not easily explained to others, and too
ethereal to define, these joys are on
that account but the more delightful.
TIE sweet sense of forgiveness; the con-
scious exercise of all the devout affec-
tions, and grateful and adoring emU-
tions Godward; the lull of sinful pas
sions, itself ecstatic music; an eXulting
sense of the security of the well-order-
ed covenant; the gladness of surety,
righteousness, aud the kind spirit OF
adoption, encouraging to say, Abba
Father;' all the delightful feeling
which the Spirit of God increases are
summed up in that comprehensive
word, Joy in the Holy Ghost DIR.

The Age ofa Besetting Sin.

Its age is not always the same. Some
times an evil propensity is born with
US, and develops with the earliest in
telligence. Some bring with them in
to the world an irasclble temper, which
is their cross from infancy to cid age
Some exhibit constitutional inability
in matters of appetite, so that if they
but wet the shoe in the puddle of in
temperance, there is no rest until they
sound the fouIcst depths of drunken
ness,
But oftenest the besetting sin is OF
later date-a parasite, not born with
US, but fastened upon us; something
foolishly learned, carelessiy contract
ed; something induced by the atmos.
phere in which we chance to dwell.
"How long is it ago since this came
upon us? How many years have /
dragged this weary chain of besettiug
sin?" Thus may each one well ques-
tion himself.
"Of child" may be the answer.
Aye, and "oft-times it hath cast me in
to the fire and into the water TO de-
stroy mel! How inveterate, then, is
that disorder, and how must it have
ingrained itself into the very hbres OF
our being! Surely, this kind goeth not
forth, but by prayer and fasting!
Or..i it otherwise? something not so
much sent as chosen; something learn
ed when You had no need to learn it;
that became, by reason of Indulgence
and repetition, a habit, which, little
while ago, was not habit? How does
consideration enhance the misery, and
add pungency to the self-condemna-
tion? Bishop Lay.

Christ Sufficient.

DR.. PaysOn, in his dying hour, said
he could have saved himself much
trouble in life, if he had only believed
that the Saviour's presence was enough
to fill him with joy, if all the worldly
comforts were taken away. He found
it so ia sickness, but could not quite
believe it in health. A poor, simple
man, with none of Payson's imagina-
ton or fancy, once said, in a familiar
spirit, with his dying words: L have
lost all my relatives; my last son is
dead; have lost my hearing and my
eyesight; am all alone, old and poor.
but it makes no difference-Christ new
er grows old; Christ never is poor;
Christ never dies, and Christ will new
er forsake me-
A greater than these has said: what
things were gain to me, those count
ed loss for Christ, Yea, doubtless, and
/ count all things but loss, for the ex-
cellency of tine knowledge of Christ Je-
sus, my Lord, for whom 1 have suffer
ed the loss of all things, and do count
them but dung, that may win Christ
Phil. 3, 7-S.
Having Him, we have sufficient.
Knowing His love, we are satisfied.
Resting in Him, naught can disturb.
Receiving of His fulness we can never
want. We have only to look forward
TO the time when we shall be like
Him, for we shall see Him as He is
"Thou, o Christ, art all [ want;
More than all in Thee | find
Christian.

There came into our school one dav
A white haired man. With pleasant sui'e
He greeted US, and sitting down,

Twas time 10 have Arithmetic.
The teacher said: ..Now all give heed;
Put up your books and take your states,
And dotne sum which | viii read
Our books went in, our states came ont,
And then the teacher read the sum:
We tried and tried and tried again.
But couldn't make the answer come.
And then the old man said to US
With kindness twinkling in his eyes
'Who gets the answer first shall have
silver shilling for a prize"
Then Tommy Dole resolved to cheat,
And Ivy taking out his book,
When he supposed he was not seen,
A hasty glance inside he took
At once the answer Tommy finds.
And NOW I've got If. sir" he cries:
The teacher thinks Tom worked the sum,
And tells him he has won the pr.ze.
But the old man had seen il all;
Those twinkling eyes had watched the
trick.

To understand Arithmetic
''But now, b fore l give the prize,
I'll let you try harder sum;
Another shilling you shall have
If you can tell how that is done
And then with kindest voice and look.
he gently said to Tommy Dole:
''What shall it profit you, my lad,
To gain the world and lose your soul =
Then Tommy Dole hung down his head,
The tears began TO fill his eyes,
And all the scholars wondered why
He would not take the silver prize.

Tie Ministry ola Face.

For some time il was my privilege toI
attend the little American chapel OF a
German city, srd got know the
fees of many of its congregation. In
enc of the pews ntar the pulpit there
sat, Sunday after Sunday, quiet, un-
assuming man, who always Kept his
eyes fixed on the minister, and Was al
ways first in his place. His earnest
face and attentive manner more thai
once rebuked me, when l was tempted
to become restless and wandering IL
my thought. One Sabbath, the cler-
gyman who had preackei, asked mt
after ST rvice: who was that man on
my left?' describing him. He helped
me 10 presc !; he SCENT to be listen
ing so attentively.'
Ii is msnya month since | sat in
that chapel, but that face still comes
mp before me in the crowded services
OF our metropolis, and often think how
we all might help our pastor by qui-
ct, attentive listening to his words.
There is much in look. There is 4
world of influence in a face; and a
bright sunny countenance will bring
cheer and sunshine into the most rainy
day, and ease the pain of the sick
room.
There are faces that rest us TO watch
them, and there are honest, open faces
we would trust anywhere. Then let
us be careful of our frown and fretful
expressions; they will leave their mari
if allowed often to visit our faces. Let
us feel that bright looks and CHEEKY
words together are powerful Influence
for good.
Standing near a coffin, a few days
ago, as the mourning friends passed
slowly by, taking their last look at a
beloved form, heard one say-'How
beautiful she was!' / looked at the
pale face of the dead woman and
thought-what made her beautiful?'
The features were not all regular, and
no artist would have chosen her for q
model beauty. 1t was the lore for God
and man that had beamed from heI
eyes; their sunshine lighting up her
whole life, and making her comfort
to all who knew her and the light of q
home.
God has given us our faces to aid oui
hands in doing His work, and we sho'd
remember that they have their minis
try.
Beautiful faces are those that wear
The charm of a happy spirit there;
1t matters nothing if dark or fair"

congregation, in SILENCE, all being
afraid to speak first. as he thought, got
up on the seat, and, folding his arms
over his breast, murmured in clear

Mr.. Clymer's Committee.
BY American Press Association,

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 49,
There was nothing of special importance
developed In the Committee on Expenditures
of the War Department to-day. Col. B. F.
Grafton was called and in nearly every
statement corroborated what General Boyn-
ton had said yesterday, but the anxiously
looked for witness was Gen. Kiddoo who
told tho story to Grafton. subpoena was
issued for him yesterday but he could not be
found although Mr.. Clymer, chairman of
the committee, admitted he had talked with
him this morning. This it is claimed looks
Suspicious and as though Kiddoo's testi-
mony was not wanted. The committee has
not been In harmony since the personal ex
PLANTATION of Bass.
At meeting to-day, Blackburn offered a
resolution declaring that everything done
in the committee should be accepted as the
action of each member present unless dis
sent therefrom should be entered on record
the resolution was adopted by vote of to 2,
Democrats voting aye and Republicans no.
and Bass said he did not intend to be
bound by resolution as it was an effort to
gag members and force a lie down their
tbroats. This aroused Blackburn and for
awhile it looked as though a scrimmage
was imminent, and after some bitter words
the matter was passed over. The only 9th.
er witness examined this afternoon was
j. Fl. Black, an Indian trader in Idaho and
nothing new was ELECTED.

He has not been an active politician, and

represented Peterboro' in the State Legis-
lature, and has served as Railroad Com
missioner and as Mayor of Manchester. In
the last position, especially, he was very
efficient and extremely popular. In 1875,
he was nominated by the Republicans for
Governor, his Democratic opponent being
Hiram r. Roberts. The vote at the elec
tion in March stood-Cheney, 39,292:
Roberts, 39,121; scattering, 1872. No can.
didate having received a clear majority, the
question was settled by the Legislature in

received 193 votes in that body to 1856 for

Family matters are said to have been
the cause. Some words passed between
them, when Beebe asked Newton if he had
anything further to say for himself. New

volver from box lying on the table before
him, leveled it at Newton, and fired. A

life. The ball went through fifty leaves.
