Watch for Others Sake.

Let us, therefore, be merciful, and initiate
the cranes, who, when they set off for their
appointed place, fly up to some lofty emi
nence, in order that they may obtain view
of the lands which they are going to pass.
The leader OF the band goes before them,
chastses those that fly too slowly, and keeps
together the troop by his cry. As soon as
he becomes hoarse, another takes his place
and all have the same care for those that are
weary; so that ii any one is unable TO fly,
the rest gather together and bear him up till
he RECEIVERS his strength. Nor do they take
less care of each other when they are on the
ground. They divide the night into watches
so that there may be a diligent care over all
Those that watch hold weight in one OF
their claws, so that, if Il o. happen to sleep
it falls on the ground and makes noise, anc
thus convicts them of somnolency. Let MS
therefore, be merciful as the cranes that
placing ourselves on lofty watch-tower il
this life, we may look out for ourselves anC
others, may lead those that are ignorant o
the way, and may chastise the slothful an,
negligent by our exhortations. Let us sue
ceed alternately to labor Let us carry tn
weak and iniirm, that they faint not in tn
way, In the watches OF the night let u
keep vigil to the Lord by prayer and con
mplation.-A ntony Of Pddua, A. d. ll95

Self-respect.

To command the respect of others one
must first respect himself. No one can ris'

The impulse to step up higher is born OF

A CHRISTIAN lives in two worlds-the
world OF flesh and the world of spirit. 1t is
possible to do both. There are certain
dangerous gases, which, from their weight,
fall to the lower part OF the place where
they are making it destructive ior dog to
enter, but sale for man who holds his head
erect. A Christian, as living in the world of
flesh, is constantly passing through these.
Let him keep his head erect in the spiritual
world, aud he is safe. lie does this so long
as the Son OF God is the fountain whence he
draws his inspiration, his motives, encour-
agemeut and rength.- George Philip.

sociated with us for years. 1t is no wonder,
then, that we hesitate before we choose our
dress. But how often, despite our philoso-
ply and our very best intentions, we are in
fIuenced by some such circumstance as the
impatience of a clerk, or our own fatigue,
into buying something with which we are
not at all satisfied, aud which never gives
us any comfort, but which is all the same to
be woven into our everyday life. We need,
therefore, the aid Of our best judgment in
making our purchases, whether they be large

Single Blessedness.

If it is true that, for the greater number
Of us, married life is the perfect life, it Is
equally true that, for Others of us, the single
life is the perfect life. In the case of men
it is superhuous either to illustrate it by iu-
stances, or to support it by argument; espe-
cially when we remember that the solution
of the question rests usually with them
selves. As for unmarried women, what II
dreary wilderness this earth would be with
out them In thousands of homes the
maiden sister or aunt is the very angel OF
the family, the childrens idol, the secret
wonder and delight even of those who too
scrupulously use her; by sick-beds and
death.beds divine consoler; the depository
of the sweet secrets of blushing hearts, the
tender friend of the old and the poor, and
the lonely Old maids, indeed Why, with
certain obvious exceptions, they are the
very salt of the earth, the calm aud sweet
life of the household that is so blessed as to
own them; their distinction, to be wanted
10y everybody; their reward, to be useful to
everybody their home-the snuggest, warm
est place in the hearts that can love. And
| if they have niche TO fill on earth, as none
can fill like them, many OF them shall have
a crown OF surprising brightness in heaven
Men and women, too, sometimes keep single
not so much because no one cares for them
but because they themselves care for Christ
first and most. The chosen solitariness o
an unmarried life is occasionally the sacri
fee OF self, secretely, but deliberately, laid a
the feet of him who pleased not himself
and it has, aud shall have its great recon
pense, The unmarried woman careth TO
the things of the Lord, that she may be hol
both in body and spirit" Presently she vii
find out and others, also, that the Lord ha
cared for her.-Sunddy Magazine.

HAVE observed one very undeniabe fact
in my own experience, and in my obserya

depends on the manner in which first sins

treated. II a first false step is promptly
met by thorough repentance, Gas in the

The losses any insurances SO far as they could be
ascertained last evening, are given below In many
cases il was difficult t. learn the true numbers, be-
cause they ran irrcgularly, and many bindings had
never been properly numbered Several houses had
the same number on the door. The total loss
amounted to $l5S 75O, and the insurance, far as
was learned last night, was Sl97,G00
THIRTYFIFTH STREET.
On tine north side of Thiriy-ifth-st. the first busi
ness place from Tenth-aye. stable and barrel
manufactory, occupied by Edward Connolly. Il was
a two-storv brick building numbered 500 and oil.
Mr. Connolly was unable to give even estimate Of
his loss as lie had recently transferred some OF his
stock. 1t was his opinion, however that his loss
would be fully covered by his insurauces in the
Etna. of Hartford; the Providence, of Rhode Island;
and the Washington, of Rhode Island.
Nos. 513. 51j and 517 were owned and occupied
bv Josiah Walker. His chief business consisted Of
selling charcoal The place was divided into two
wards in one of which stored 1900 bushels Of
charcoal and there were 10000 bushelsin the other
The immense pile was one continuous blaze, and all
tbp efforts of the fremen to cool the Goals proved
unayallinc Mr. Walker said he expected that the
coal would be a complete loss, which was estimated
at about $4,000. He was only insured for $1,000
Late in the day he had his safe dry from among the
debris and found that the books papers and little
money was perfectly safe.
A small yard was the only thing that separated
Walkers place from Hales factory. As far as could
be asceraucd, the numbers Of the factory in Thirty
ifth--t ran from 521 10 537, inclusive The loss is
roughly estimated at $1s5.0OO, about half being
covered by insurance.
An old-fashioncd frame building No. $50, was
next to the factory. Everything in it was COM
pletely ruined. The four families which occupied
the several apartments were driven out before tLey
had time TO remove any articles OF furniture, and
went TO some friends in the ne siborhoJd for sh,l
tor. Tie owner was =. Fitzgerald. The loss is
about $4,000; not insured.
