THINGS THAT LAsr.-Let Us now look
at those things that will "never wear
out
| have often heard a poor, blind girl
sweetly sing, "Kind words vii! never
die" All! we believe that these are
among the things that will never wear
out. And we are told in Gods own
book to be kind one to another, tender
hearted, forgiving one another.
The Word of the Lord will rever
wear out Though the grass shall with
er and the flowers fade away, the Word
of the Lord endureth foreye: Peter j,
"a, 25.
The life of the righteous will never
wear out. They will live in the world
to come, as God shall live; but the
death OF the wicked will last forever.
The joys of the kingdom of heaven
will never wear cut. The people OF
this world soon die; but the enjoyments
Of that world will never end.
The crown Of glory will never wear
out. The crown of the winner in the
Olympic games soon faded; the crowns
OF kings soon wear out: but the crown
of glory will never fade away. Peter V,
4.
The new song will never wear out.
We hear sometimes, that some of our
tunes are worn threadbare; but that will
never be said of the new song.
Which will you choose? The lasting
or that which wastes away? The
things of time or eternity? Will you
choose wealth, honor and fame, or the
JOYS of heaven aud eternal life. the
crown of glory and "the new song ?"
May God enable us to make wise
choice, and with Joshua, may we choose
to serve the Lord.

SCENE IN CONGRESS-

The House, on the 2Sth ult., iu-
dulged itself in one Of those exciting
personal alterations which have been
of such frequent occurrence of late years,
and which are not at all creditable to
the House as body or to the men,
bers Immediately partici pating. The
Military Academy bill was under con-
sideration, and the clause relating to the
pay of cadets gave rise to an earnest
discussion on the subject of economy
and retrenchment. Mr.. Cox made some
structures upon the course of the repub-
licans, which were not relished by gen.
tlemen Of that party, and Mr.. Hale
stepped to the front as its champion,
and made all effort TO show that in
spite OF their boasted economy the dem
ocrats (and especially those from the
South) had already piled up mountain
Of bills as compensation for all manner
of property taken by the Federal troops
during the late war. In the course OF
his remarks he told Mr.. Cox that he
(Mr. Cox) would be found voting for
those bills when his masters ordered
him to do 50. Mr.. Cox tried to get the
floor Immediately to reply, but it was
yielded TO others, and the New York
member was so nettled that he accused
the Chair (Mr. Hoskins) of untairness,
but subsequently apologized for the re-
mark. When he finally succeeded in
getting the floor he inquired of Mr..
Hale, what he meant, when the latter
replied that Cox would obey the domi-
mating influence of his party, meaning
the Southern members. TO that Mr..
Cox replied that it remained to be seen.
1t was a matter for the future to de-
termine how far he would lie controlled
by any masters, and wound up with the
remark that Hale lad been known all
of last session as ''Blane's little Bub. "
Many in the galleries and on the floor
understood him to say pup" and
among them Mr. Garfield, who at once
called him to order and demanded that
the words should be taken back.
The greatest excitement at once pre-
vailed; members on both sides sprang to
their feet, and the chairman pounded
with his gavel hard enought almost to
break the table, while amid it all Mr..
Cox and Mr.. Hale were vociferating
and gesticulatng at each other, the lat
ter con,enting himself for the time be-
ing by hurting at Mr.. Cox the name Of
'shoo tiy," which was bestowed upon
him by Gen. Butler few years ago
Order was finally restored; it was ascer
tanned that Mr.. Cox had said "bub' and
not pup" Mr. Cox expressed willing
ness to withdraw the offensive remark
Mr.. Garfield did not insist upon hi:
point of order and so the troubled wa
ters were partially Gained, nevertheless
Mr.. Cox did not neglect the opportuni
ty in his subsequent remarks TO give
Mr.. Hale some sly raps on account o
an alleged Inconsistency in refusing tt
vote tor the centennial bill last year anC
voting for it this, which Mr.. Hale sub
sequently explained to the satisfaction
of his friends.

ANOTHER Man KILLED IN WEsr VIR-
G1NIA-A dispatch from Huntington,
West Va, to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
says that j. L. Pickett, deputy sheriff
of Franklin county, Arkansas, reached
Cassvile. West Va, last Monday, with
Il requisition for Thomas Cameron, who
stood indicted for manslaughter. Ac-
companied by Sheriff Strother, Of
Wayne county, he followed Cameron
to his hiding place, and demanded his
surrender. Dameron blew out the
lights in the house, and armed with a
double barreled rife and two pistols, at
tempted resistance In the melee
Dameron was shot in the breast and al
most instantly killed. Sheriff Pickett
left for home, but was arrested at
Catlettsburg, KY, but upon the facts
becoming known he was Immediately
released.

So MANY HYpocRIrEs.-A Sabbath
School teacher was couversing with one
of his pupils on the subject of personal
religion. In answer to an inquiry, the
young man gave as reason why he
did not embrace religion, that there
were so many hypocritical professors,
Then he added the names OF persons
prominent in social position and in the
church, who had been guilty of great
dishonesty and other vices.
"What profession do you intend 10 fol.
low, my young trieud?
"The mercantile"
"But there are so many dishonest
and over-reaching merchants, is it not
wonder that you chose such call
ing!"
THAT is one reason why / intend to
prove that there can be honest mer-
chants
And will you not, for the same rea-
son, choose religious life, if only to
prove that there can be one consistent
Christian?
How many are like this young man,
making the sins of professors an excuse
for not embracing religion. One would
think, to reasonable mind, the reverse
would be the case. For if there be so
few real Christians, there is the more
reason that you should become one, and
your classmate become one, and so on.
