THE LOAD OF GOLD.

There were two brothers, one, rich in
the love of a good wife and children,
but poor in this worlds goods the 9TH
er Franz, was rich in money, which he
loved better than anything else.
Franz lived all alone. One bitter
cold night the wife Of the sick brother
came to the miser, Franz, and begged for
help, but be refused her, and she went
away, saying, IL pray God that the gold
which has 50 hardened your heart may
never weigh so heavy on your soul, that
you cannot mount to glory"
This frightened Franz By-and-by he
fell asleep and dreamed that a fairy came
to him, shaking bags of gold, and said,
"Lie down, put your strong box on your
chest, and | will give you gold so long
as you can bear its weight but take
care you don't get too much for though
can give, cannot take away"
So Franz lay down, but he was SC
greedy Of the gold that he kept wanting
more, till at last be was 50 weighed down
he could not move. And there he lay fol-
years and years. At last bright light
shone, and crowd Of people gathered
around him. He remembered his neigh
bOrs, his brother with his wife and chill
dren, but he couldn't 60 near them. 70
he was weighed down by this pile o
gold. ooh, take it off - take it off :
he cried, ''and let me 60. -
Then came a voice ANY Of you, hi
family, his neighbOrs, or servants, an
one whom he has helped may remove tn
awful load that binds him down"
But no one stirred, and cry bur'
from Franz, as his eye went from face
face, and only the memory Of unkiu
and selfish words and actions came U
before him. He saw in his sisters faC
that same sad look, as on that storm
night, long ago, when he drove her fro
his door cold, hungry and sOrrowfr
Then a wall was heard with these word
1.-The gold that hardeneth his heart, h
bound him to the earth; he can new
rise to glory"
He awOke and remembered the wOr

THE DRowsY SENTINEL.

A General, after gaining a great VIC
tory, was encamping with his army for
the night He ordered watch to be
kept all around the camp as usual
One Of the sentinels, as he went to his
station. grumbled to himself, and said,
"Why could not the General let US
have quiet nights rest for once, after
beating the enemy? I'm sure there is
nothing to be afraid Of
The man then went to his station and
stood for some time looking about him.
1t was bright night, with harvest
moon, but, as he could see no sign of
danger anywhere, he said to himself,
81 am terribly tired, l shall sleep for
just FIVE minutes, out of the moonlight,
under the shadow of this tree" So he
lay down.
Presently he started up dreaming that
some one had pushed lantern before
his eyes, and he found that the moon
was shining brightly down on him
through the branches Of the tree above
him. The next minute an arrow whiz-
zed past his ear, and the whole field be.

FAMILY PRAYER.


The grand infrmity Of family prayer,
or Of what is sometimes called family
religion. is that it stands alone in the
house and has nothing in agreement with
it. Whereas, if it is to have an honest
reality, as many things as possible
should be soberly and deliberately put
in agreement with it for, indeed, it is
first point Of religion itself that by its
very nature it rules presidingly over
everything desired, done, thought. plan
ned and prayed for IN the life. 1t is
never to finish itself up by words, or
applications, or even by sacraments.
but the whole customs of life and char
aeter must be in it by consent of the
man. And more depends on this hun
bred times than upon any occasional fer
vOrs, or passionate flights, or agOnizings.
The grand defect will, in almost all
cases, be in what is more deliberate,
viz. in the want of any downright
honest casting of the family in the type
Of religion, as if that were truly accepted
at the first.
See just what is wanted, by what is
so commonly not found. First of all,
the mere Observance of kind of piety,
that which prays in the family to keep
up a reverence show or acknowledgment
of religion, is not enough. 1t leaves
everything else in life to be an open
space for covetousness and all the gay
lustings Of worldly vanity. 1t even
leaves our prayer, for the saying Of pray
ers is in no sense really the same as to
pray. Contrary to this, there should be
some real prayer, for the meanings sake,
and not for the shell Of religious decency,
in which the semblance may be kept
This latter kind looks. indeed, for nc
return of blessing from God, but for only
a certain religious effect, accomplished
by the drill of repetitiOnal observance
There is also another kind of drill some.

the jetties, there is depth of "a feet,
where, on March T., it was but % feet.
The improvement in the depth of the
channel is wonderful, and the news is
of highly important and cheering
character. Capt. Eads said tonight that
within month he will have a channel of
20 feet through the entire length of the
jetties. New Orleans is awakened to the
fact that the jetties promise to be big
success, and everybody is elated at the
speedy prospect of an opening of the
delta to an uninterrupted flow hither of

Encouraging News for InebriateS.

Over one-half of all the confirmed
drunkards who take refuge in the asylum
mt Binghamton are permanently cured
of their morbid appetite. The official
statistics on the subject, which have been
published, cover seven years, and very
large number of cases. This is encourag
ing news for the slaves of drunkenness.
Many of these slaves are utterly desti-
tute of hope, and look upon themselves
as doomed. They feel that their desires
are unquenchable, that their power of
resistance Is wholly gone, and that forcible
restraint would destroy their reason.
But yet it appears that even though their
drunken habit has become chronic, and
has gone to it's furthest limit, they have
an even chance of getting over it, and
the paths of sobriety. There
is not drunkard who needs to feel HIM
self lost, if he has desire to be saved.

When Williams went to Oregon he left

Twenty years after the two men found
themselves sitting side by side in the
cabinet. Both were forced ont of the
cabinet by the intrigues of their wives.
Another remarkable case exists in the
