abandoned by the enemy and soon reach
ed point of danger. 1t was log house
held by the English, furnished with
muskets and two small cannon.
Scanty light from the east was now
struggling through the storm announc.
ing day From the thick, bind
ing gusts of snow the English could sep
arate the forms of Americans pressing
forward. Montgomery headed them,
but it was a slender battering ram he
was pushing forward against that wall
of death. The cannon of the English
blazed away, and among the thirteen
Americans that fell was Montgomery.
Beyond his dead body the attacking
column stirred not. After some parley
among themselves the Americans fell
back. The attack under Arnold on the
other side of the city was attended with
some success at first, but they only press
ed into spot where they were sur
rounded, and after brave but useless
fight surrendered. Montgomery and
his companions we're found strown on
the white snow like wheat stalks leyeled
by the sickle and scattered on the har-
vest field. Deaths granary had no.
bic ingathering that day. Quebec rose
up to lay away with all honor Mont
gomery's remains. They now rest in St.
Padfs churchyard, New York. How
many hurrying by the latter in some
binding storm will think of the mid
night charge amid the tempest's blasts

Good Resolutions.

1t is customary, with people generally
to form new resolutions with the begin
ming of every year. 1t is often fitly ex.
pressed as turning over a new leaf
People are always hoping that the future
will be brighter than the past, and that
on the new leaves pleasanter and better
things will be written than have been
written on the old ones.
And it is well, especially at the com.
mencement of the year, to form new res.
olutions. The difficulty is in keeping
them. Merely resolving, unless perform.
ance follows the resolve, avails but little
In some respects, the forming of resolu-
tions only to break them, works posi-.
tive injury for person who undertakes
to do something, and utterly fails in il
from infrmity of purpose, must necessa.
rily lose somewhat of his own selfre.
spect in consequence.
1t is well therefore to use deliberation
in determining what one will undertake
Think, beforehand, of all the difficulties
that will attend upon your resolve to do
then you will be the better prepared to
overcome them. Remember, too, that in
every triumph in well-doing, the victory
becomes more and more easy. The force
OF habit is not exaggerated when it is
said to be 4" second nature"
On the other hand, do not allow your
self to be discouraged by single omis-
sion, or even, if unfortunately they should
occur, by repeated omissions, to perform
all that you have resolved on. Renew
your good resolutions, and brace up your
purposes more firmly. As the Bible
says, " Be not weary in well doing"
To young persons, more particularly,
is this habit for forming and executing
good resolutions all-important A little
change in everyday habits; little in
crease of industry; a little more time
given, regularly, to study to the young,
such improvements to affect the whole
future of their lives, are of incalculable
value,

SAD STORY OF A MAN WHO HAS FALLEN
TO THE LOWEST ROUND.
The St. Louis Globe-Democl at tells
this touching story: On the cold morn
ing of last Friday man about so years
of age might have been seen in front of
one of our city restaurants, evidently a.
waiting the presence of another party, who
might eharitably provide for his morn
ing's breakfast. His appearance was d.
lapidated in the extreme his coat a bare
apology for one, and his hat having an
infinity of holes for the frosty air of De-
cember. Tired out with waiting, he at
last summoned up courage to enter the
restaurant and sat down by the stove,
wringing and warming his hands, till
his expected friend-an old lawyer, en-
inent in the courts, and still more emf
nent in the hearts of the many who have
shared his friendship and charity
came, and invited him, as he had done
every day for months past, to take break
fast with him. The invitation was ex-
tended in tone and manner which in
dicated not the least sign of intentional
charity, and well the party to whom it
was intended deserved it. For that old
gent leman was at one time-and not
long since either-a wealthy and uni
versally esteemed citizen of St. Louis.
Before the war broke out he had been
for "A years-from 1897 to 156f-a
prosperous merchant of Mobile, Ala.
and since then, until two years ago, when
theunhappy catastrophe occurred, which
has ruined his life, he was to all appear
ances one of our most well-to-do towns
men. In 1858 he married a lady of
beauty and wealth, and by her reared
eleven children, which constituted his
greatest pride.
Two years ago his wife brought in
bill for and obtained decree of divorce,
on the ground of physical infrmities.
The case excited unusual attention at
the time, though now it is probably for
gotten by most of our readers. His es-
tate then was worth over 100000, and
many of the improvements on the real
estate had been the fruit of his own ex-
ertions in business.
BY the decree of the court, in his case,
all of the property went to the wife and
children. By the Intervention of rela-
tives, all of the children were forcibly
carried away from his custody, at the
farm where he lived in the country.
Ever since, he has been mere wreck.
Is it to be wondered at--a man, married
to woman for eighteen years, and hav-
ing eleven children by her, and then de-
serted by her, she remaining in posses
sion of all the property and leaving him
an object of charity to few friends,
who knew him in better days and SYM
pathize with him for the great injury
done him The watchman on the beat
at 4th and Olive says the old man has
no lodgings, and spends his nights on
the street or in restaurants. 1t is pitiful
to see this deserted man, hungering,
freezing and trembling with cold on the
public streets Of this great city. Can a
sadder illustration of the vicissitudes of
human life be found or imagined?

SToP AND SHAKE HANDS. Why is it
that people dart out of prayer meet
ing as they do, the moment the benedic-
tion is pronounced The true idea of
the church is, that it is family Gods
family. Its members are children of
one father, and brothers and sisters one
Of another. A prayer meeting, therefore,
is family meeting. 1t is reunion of
brothers and sisters. The service is of
the character of feast and we all
know that after feasting comes talking
and the exhibition of good nature AT
ter the formal portion of the service is
over, brethren, why not stay and have
an informal service of your own ? Talk
Of whatever the Spirit suggests tell
your joys and your sorrows, your hopes
and your fears, one to another "Laugh
with those who laugh and weep with
those who weep" Don't file out of the
room, solemn as crows fly to the groves
at night, passing through gloom into
deeper gloom but go forth happy, as
children pour out of the door when
father and mother start out with ram
BILE in the bright sunshine across the
green fields. At least, stay long enough
after the formal service, to shake hands
with the pastor and with each other, and
greet any stranger that may chance to
have dropped in among you of an even
ing Lubricate the wheels of your
church machinery with the coil of glad
ness " and you will be astonished at the
ease with which all its parts will soon
be working together. Salute every
saint in Christ Jesus" - Golden Rule.
