The Object OF Spiritual Culture.

THERE exists in many minds wrong
theory as to the object of spiritual culture.
1t is thought necessary by many to make
some provision for the lite OF the soul, but
that ought not to interfere with the inter-
ests of temporal life 1t is supposed to
be wise economy TO make Just enough
provision for the future lite, either now
or before the great transit, to make it
sure. And there is danger that many
new converts will eventually rest upon
the delusion that religion is necessary
thing to have against the exigcncics OF fu-
ture life. But it Is not the object OF spir-
itual culture simply to save the soul or to
spiritual culture to build up character
along the line of the highest faculties Of
human nature, To build up Minthood.
1t should be the aim of the new convert
placing himself amid the ordinances and
worship of the church, not simply to seek
aplace of safety and quiet enjoyment, but,
by earnest endeavor, 10 build up spiritual
character The work has Just begun.
The supple act of matriculation does not
impart all the knowledge of the collegiate
course. The new CONVEX. is a disciple in
Christ's school There are many doc
many phases of Christian experience to
which he is stranger, and If he has no
humility TO begin with the alphabet, he
can never attain unto the stature Of Christ.
There Is surprising beauty of Chris.
tian character, of which many professors
of religion know nothing. They know
nothing of that sweetness Of disposition
which can only he attained by long dis
rf,,1tnA nj altar foi TThay
know nothing Of religion, as Jonathan
Edwards defines it, namely, "a love Of
divine things for the beauty and sweet
ness Of their moral excellence" Whocan
portray the graces Of sainthood! They
the beauty aiar oil. The train OF virtues
passes by and We catch the sweet sound oi
their going and sec glimpse Of the
company The Apostle Paul. after hav.
oil the dean. says. but ths fruit Of the
gcnteness. goodness, faith, mccknesS
temperance. 1 3
That is the object Of the Christian race.
Religion dwells mainly with the disposi-
tons; it aims to build M "bcnuty and
sweetness" That is life. work, and can
not be accomplished by the passivity OF
one who simply feels comfortable, and
hopes to escape the fire and gain the re-
ward.
The young convert by this lifelong
culture comes into heaven with faculties
suited to that sphere of being, Heaven is
not merely an asylum for beings who have
failed upon the earth; it Is the home u
souls brought by training into a state OF
"beauty and sweetness" In dying We go
to our own company and to our own place.

Always Trust.

WORTHY and dear brother, know how
to carry yourself in trouble. Keep Gods
covenant in your trials. Hold YOU by His
blessed word, and sin not. Flee anger,
wrath, grudging, envying, fretting. For
give hundred pence to your fellow
servants because your Lord hath forgiven
you ten thousand talents. For | assure
you. by the Lord, that your adversaries
shall gain no advantage except you sin
and offend the Lord in your suflcrings.
But the way to overcome Is by patience,
forgiving and praying for your enemies;
In doing whereof, you heap Goals upon
their heads" and your Lord will open q
door to you in your trouble. Wait upon
Him ms u night-watch waiteth for the
morning. He will not tarry; go up To
your watch tower, and come not down;
but by faith, and prayer. and hope, wait
on When the sea is full, it will ebb
again; and as soon as the wicked are
come TO the top Of their pride, and are
waxed high and mighty, then Is their
change approaching. Now trust in the
Lord, that ye shall, by faith, sustain your
self, and comfort yourself in the Lord, and
be strong In His power; for you are in
the beaten and common way to Heaven
when you are under the Lords crosses

AS GOD w7EL.

KNOW not IL or dark or tAght
Shall b. lay lot,
II that wherein my hopes delight
Be best or not
II may be mine to dray for years
Tolls heavy chain:
Or, day aud night, my meat be tears
On bed Of pain.
Dear faces may surround my hearth
With smiles and glee;
Or may dwell alone and mirth
Be strange to me.
My bark Is waited from the strand
by breath divine.
And on the helm there rests = hand
Other than mine.
One who has known In storms to sail

Above the raging Of tho gale

And then With him 20 hand In hand

THE little loving charities OF daily life
preach loudly for Him who went about
doing good. Bring Jesus into your home
and your circumstances more than you
have hitherto done. Things do not go on
we'll in your household, perhaps, nor IN
your circumstances either. You wonder
why il is. Wonder not. 1t is because
you bring the Lord so little into them.
How can it be otherwise, with Him SO
little acknowledged How can it be
otherwise when you are not cast upon
Him in all that pertains TO you, Bring
Jesus more into your home, aud plans,
and duties, and circumstances. Live not
on as you nave done, realizing His pres
ence so little. The name of Jesus is no
mere fancy. He il reality. He Is .
bosom friend, tender physician, q loving
Father a gracious Savior, very present
helper. Oh, make Him 70 " YOU

THE OLD SONGS.

The memory Of joys among

And in the dear. familiar notes
OF each remembered strain,
Some voice comes back from ont the past,
And my lost youth = gain.
get glimpse of chestnut curls,
The glance Of merry eye,
And press once more the scarlet lips
While comm tbro' the rye.
I hear the pash OF cad sea waves,
| see the breakers foam
Down by the beach, whose pebbly edge
Lay near my home, sweet home.
There stands the cottage by the sea-
And even now once more,
By old Long Island sea grit slopes
MY boat is on the shore;
Here swings the lank grass in the winds,
There are the white sand dunes,
As painted by some fairy hand,
With their old-fashioned tunes.
The long, low roof, bent in with age,
Ger grown with lichens gray;
The table by the window, where
Nv mothers Bible lay.
THbe shelf of books upon the wall,
The doll, quaint sampler knit
By grandma. when she was girl,
With notices wove in ii.
Ny feet have trod in many lands,
nv soft Eg an isle:
In Egypt, where the Pyramids
Looked downward on the Nile;
And where far up the rock-ribbed hills
Lifted their crests OF pines.
BY valleys thick with orange blooms
And heavy laden vines.
And once felt my spirit thrill,
My cheeks with tears grow wet.

By fort-crowned La Vallette;
And when the gun with belch of fire
Opened its iron throat,
Above the powder smoke saw
My country's banner float.
All. no! the pealing organ notes
Fall dull upon my ear
In the great Minister choir, where
The fiuIed columns rear.
From marble pave 10 architrave,
Their graceful forms alott,
Or where the Miserere sounds
Almost rs heaven soft.
And where with glare and blaze of light,
With Princes and with Kings
For audience in the crowded house,
The prima donna sings.
Not one OF these with half the force
My Utmost soul has stirred,
AS those sweet. un.Orgotten tunes,
The songs my boyhoOd heard.

The Ssate Prison little.

.s.lAti,e {, IN, ,atroversy over the
graau : on which IS sitnated the
STATE Prison, reccatiy bef,re the Cir
cult Court at Carson, rhs Appeal Of
that city says: Now as to the history
Of this State Prison embroglio, We
will briefly review it AS follows: The
Territory OF Nevada purchased the
present prison aud grounds from the
late Abraham Curry for the sum of
$50, 900. Alvah Mitchell, Curry's
partner, became pre-emptor Of the
land ssbssQ to this purchase from
Curry by the State. Upon Mitchell's
application for patent to said lands,
the State interposcd aud asked to be
guaranteed Of ITS title. This guaranty
Mitchell agreed to make; aud he did
hle bond for deed to that effect.
Meantime DR.. King (of Kings Can
you) held q note Jointly signed by
Mitchell, Wellington Stewart and an
other man whose name We have for
gotten. He, King, sued these three
joint signsrs aud obtained Judgment.
To satisfy this Judgment, he attached
Nischsll's right to these prison lands
and sold him nut at SHERIFF. sale, and
bid 10 the property himself. lie OBJ
,tsined : S6snGs deed. which he sold
Is Trsadway. ALI this time there was
mo effort on the part Of the State Pris-
on Doard, the Attorney General or
.aiiy other person or officer in author
ity TO compromise with King or t.
prcvcns the title, through Sheriff :
aSsd, pasaing 10 Trcadwsy or other
third party. And it is very singular
,4hat there vas no such EFFORT made.
Furthermore. il is susceptible OF
proof thai this land is part Of /.
18th section and therefore schoo!
land, and therefore the property of
the 6ssts. But this fact WAS never
pleadcd in bar Of the judgment which
Vas obtained in the Ormsby county
District Court against Warden Slim
Rerland. To make long story short,
the States interests seem to have
been sadly neglected in the matter.
As 10 Tfsadways title il 10 merely
teehnical at best, and the result Of
sharp practios.

THE sABBArH BELLS. :,

The old man sits In his easy chair ~ A
And his ear has caught the ringing
VI many \ church bell far and near,
Their W sweet music singing.
And his head sinks low on his aged breast,
While his thoughts far back are reaching,
To the Sabbath morn of his boyish days,
And , mbther's sacred teaching.
A few years later, and 10 the bells
A merrier strain were pealing,
And heavenward bore the marriage vows
Which his manhood's joys were sealing,
But the old mans eyes are dimming now,
As memory holds before him A
The sad, sad pictareso of later years, nss1
When the tide of grief rolled DER him.
When the bells were tolling for loved one gonel
For wife, for sons and daughters.
Who. one By one, from his home went ont,
And down into deaths dark waters.
But the aged heart has still one joy Nc
Which his old life daily blesses, al saq
And his eyes grow bright and his pulses warm
Meath a grsndchild's sweet caresses.
But the old man wakesfrom hisreverie,k
And his dear old face is smiling,
While the child with her serious eyes reads ON,
The Sabbath hours beguiling.
All bells once more We win ring for him,
When the heavenly hand shall sever
The chord of life. and his freed soul flies
To dwell with his own forever. ~ q sFs
