Anecdote of President Grant.

This neat bit of bumor of President
Grants appears now for the first time
in print
Just before the close of the last ses-
sion of Congress, while riding out one
day, he was struck with the appearance
of horse that was driven before a
butchers cart. The butcher was sent
for and asked if he would sell. The
butcher would do so for a proper con-
sideration. The proper consideration
was estimated at $3.50, which was paid.
Subsequently, after driving out with
Senator Conkling, the President said:
Come to the stable and look at a new
horse I've bought
Mr.. Conkling, who is something of a
Judge of horses, looked him over thor
0ughly, poked him here, punched him
there, and did ali that first. class Sena-
tor and horseman should do in such a
case.
Where did you get him % asked the
Senator.
Il bought him of butcher replied
the President.
How much did you pay for him? p
Two hundred and fifty dollars an
swered General Grant.
'Well,' responded the Senator, ehe
may be very good animal, and doubt
less is, but if it were my case, thiak
should rather have the money than the
horse
THAT is what the butcher thought
replied the President Editors Draw

Failure and Success.

No true work since the world began
vas ever wasted; DO true lite since the
u orld ba-an has ever failed. On, I'M
derstand. my brethren, those two per
verted words, failure and success, and
measure them by the eternal, not by
the earthly standard. What the world
has regarded as the bitterest failure
h often been in the sight of heaven
the most magnificent success. When
the cap, painted with devils, was pla-
ced on the brow of John Huss, and he
sank dying amid embers OF the flame
was that failure? When st. Fran
els Xavier died cold and lonely on the
bleak and desolate shore of a heather
land-was that failure? When the
frail, worn body OF the Apostle of the
Gentiies was dragged by hook from
the arena, and the white sand scatter
ed over the crimson life-bloOd of the
victim whom the dense amphitheatre
despised as some obscure and name
less Jew-was that a failure? And
when, after thirty obscure, toilsOme,
unrecOrded years in the-shOp CT the
village carpenter, One came forth to be
pre-emiontIy the Man of Sorrows, TO
wander from city to city in homeless
labors, and to expire in lonely agony
upon the shameful cross-was that a
failure? Nay, my brethren, it was the
life, it was the death, of Him who liv-
ed that we might follow in His steps
lit Was the lite, it was the death, OF
the Son of God.-Frederic w. Farrar.

"My Mother knows Best.

A party o. little girls stood talking
beneath my window. Some nice plan
was on foot; they were going into the
woods, and they meant to make OAK

Now said they to one of their mum

len, pretty little girl in a green cape
bonnet, skipped across the way, and
went into house opposite. She was
gone some time. The little girls wait
ed for her very impatiently. At length
the door opened, and Ellen came down
the steps. She did not seem to be in a
hurry to join her companions, and they
cried out; You nave got leave" Are
you coming?
Ellen shook her head, and said that
her mother would not let her go.

There are great many occasions

The Power Of the Bible.

An African preacher illustrated the
power of Gods word thus: "We know
that rocks are very hard. Our cutlass-
es and hoes can do nothing against
them, so we leave them alone. But
white people have something that can
break up and scatter any rock in Uwet
or Union. You will admit that some
thing must be more powerful than
rocks. So we all know what country
laws and customs are; we cannot
change them, SO we leave them alone.
But thing has come to Calabar, even
Gods word, and il has broken up and
scattered customs that our fathers
thought would remain forever! What
must you say concerning that word
but that it is more powerful than the
customs of our country? You know
how strong your hearts are. Hearts as
strong as yours have been changed in
our town, have been changed by this
word; and what must you, therefore,
say but that this word is more power
ful than Calabar heart? Bend your
heads, then, before this word"

THE FUTURE LIFE.
BY W. c. BEYAST.

How shall know thee in the sphere which
keeps
The dsembodied spirits of the dead,
When all of thee that Time could wiiher sleeps
And perishes among the dust we tread.
For shall feel the sting of ceaseless pain
If there meet thy presence not;
Nor hear the voice love, nor read again
In thy serenest eye the tender thought.
Wilt not thine own meek heart demand me
there?
That heart whose fondest throbs to me were
given?
My name on earth was ever in thy prayer,
Shall it be banished from the tongue in
Heaven?
wind,
In the resplendenco of that glorious sphere,
And larger movements of the unfettered mind,
Wilt thou forget the love that joined US here:
The love that lived thro' all the stormy past,
And meekly with my harsher nature bore,
Shall it expire with life, and be no more?
A happier lot than mine, and larger light
Await thee there; for thou hast bowed thy
In cheerful homage to the rule of right,
And lowest all, and renderest good for i'll.
For me, the sordid cares h which dwell,
Shrink and consume my heart, as heat the
scroll;
And wrath has left its scar-that fire of hell
Has left its frightful scar upon-py soul.
Yet though thou wearst the glory of the sky,
Wilt thou not keep the same beloved name,
The same fair thoughtful brow, and gentle eye,
Lovelier in heavens climate, yet the same?
Shalt thou not teach me, in that calmer home,
The wisdom that / learned so ill in this, =
The wisdom which is love,-till become
Thy fit companion in that land of bliss?

The invisible Cross.

The heart knoweth its own, whether
it be of bitterness, or of consolation.
To many, each day brings SOME new
experience of sorrow, which no pa
thence can soften or forethOught avert.
The bleeding is inward, and uncon-
fessed, save TO Him, the only witness.
The secret cross is where the spirit,
rather than the body, is stretched in
living anguish, with no hope of respite,
till death COMES TO take the sufferer
down.
1t is to such that the Scriptures un-
fold their internal evidences. Eyes
that weep, grow expert in discern
ment. We begin to discriminate when
we have learned to suffer. In many OF
our sweetest hymns we can see the rag,
ged thorns on which the singers were

THE man who is always in hurry
is the very man who, at the end of a
lifetime, has the least to show for it.
No MoCKING in this world ever
sounds so me so hollow as that of being
told to cultivate happiness? What does
such advice mean? Happiness is not a
potato to be planted in mould, and
titled with manure. Happiness is a
glory shining far down upon US out Of
heaven. She is a divine dew which
the soul, on certain of its summer eve
nings, feels dropping upon it from the
amaranth bloom and golden fruitage
of paradise.-Charlotte Bronte.
