OUR STORY.


I had occasion, about three years
ago, to visit the ancient burgh Of For
trose. 1t was early in winter: the
days were brief, though pleasant, and
the nights long and dark; and, as
there is much in FOrtrose which the
curious traveller deems interesting, |
had fingered amid its burying-grounds
and its broken and mouldering tene-
ments till the twilight had fairly set in,
/ had explored the dilapidated ruins of
the Chanonry Of Ross /; seen the tomb
of old Abbot Boniface, and the bell
blessed by the Pope; run over the
the complicated tracery Of the Runic
obelisk, which had been dug up, about
sixteen years before, from under the
foundations of the old parish church ;
and visited the low, long house, with
its upper windows buried in the thatch,
in which the far-famed Sir James
Macintosh had received the first rudi-
ments Of his education. There was
little wonder, that twilight should have
overtaken me in such a place.
There are two roads which run be-
tween Cromarty and Fortrose: the
one, the kings highway; the other, a
narrow footpath that goes winding fol
several miles under the immense wall
of cliffs which overhangs the northern
shores of the Moray Firth, and then
ascends to the top by narrow and
doubtful traverses along the face of an
immense precipice termed the Scrafs
Crag. The latter route is by far the
more direct and more pleasant Of the
two to the day-traveller but the man
should think twice who proposes tax
ing it by night. The Scarf's Crag has
been a scene Of frightful accidents fol
the last two centuries. With knowl-
edge Of this, however, i had deter
mined on taking the more perilous
road. The night fell thick and dark
while was yet hurrying along the
footway which leads under the cliffs
and, on reaching the Scarf's Crag, ]
could no longer distinguish the path
nor even catch the huge outline Of the
precipice between me and the sky.

evening and, deeming it too long tc

hill, master, on the first discharge.
''En the morning, when we were en-
gagedcooking our breakfast with leav4
es ofthe date-tree, our colonel and two
officers came up to us. The colonel
was au Englishmau, LAS brave a gen.
tlemah as ever lived, ,--ay, and as kind
an officer too. lie was a fine-looking
old man, as tall as Bill, and as well
built too; but his health was much
broken. 1t was said he had entered
the army out of break-heart on losing
his wife. Well, he came up to us, /
say, and shook Bill by the hand as
cordially as if he had been a colonel
like himself. lie was brave, good
soldier, he said, and, to show how
much he valued good men, he had
come to make him a sergeant, in room
of the one we had lost. lie had heard
that he was a scholar, he said, and he
trusted his conduct would not disgrace
the halberd. Bill, you may be sure,
thanked the colonel, and thanked him,
master, very like gentleman; and
that very day he staggered scarlet and
a sword as pretty a sergeant as the
army could boast of,-ay, and for that
matter, though his experience was lit
tie, as fit for his place.

THE MASTERS TOUCH.

In the still air the music lies mheard
In the rough marble beauty hides unseen:
To make the music and the beauty, needs
The masters touch, the sculptor's chisel keen.
Great Master, touch us with thy skilrul hand;
Let not the music that is in us diel
Great Sculptor hew and polish us; nor let,
Hidden and lost, thy form within us liel
Spare not the strokel do with us as thou wilt
Let there be naught unfinished, broken, marred
Complete thy purpose, that we may become
Thy perfect image, thou our God and Lord!-

it became of Importance that the jury,
in order to arrive at just conclusion,

plaintiff, who had possession Of the
animal, lived some two miles from
the courthouse, and one of the elder
ly jurymen demurred to the idea of
being sent SO far. The judge, in his
usual round, full voice, replied: :"Gen-
tlemen, anticipated this objection,
and had the calf brought to the court
yard. I thought it less trouble to
bring in one calf than to send out
teceIve." The jury emerged into the
open air, and, in presence of the calf,

MOODY's EXPOSITION OF GODS
INVITATION

Let us get back to that word, "who-
soever." "God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten son,
that whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life"
Now that word is broad enough to
take in every man, woman and child
in this assembly. Thank God, we
don't have to preach that every man
will be saved who behaves himself.
We can preach the Gospel to the yile8t
sinner, and offer him a pardon, how
ever vile he have been. God invites
the whole world to be saved. Gam
blers, thieves, drunkards, vagabonds,
don't leave one out, the blackest of
the black, go preach the Gospel to him,
tell him he can be saved, tell him
Christ died for his sins, and that the
way has been opened from the grave
right straight to the throne by the Son
Of God. He will snap your fetters
and let your captive soul free. He is
the Savior from sin. He will not only
blot out your sins, but He will give
you power over sin. Mr.. Moody
told of visit of Governor Pollock to
a murderer whose death-warrant he
had signed. After the interview the
prisoner asked the sheriff who that
man was who had talked so kindly to
him and prayed with him. "Why,
that was Goynrnor Pollock" The
condemned man turned deathly pale,
and, lifting mp both hands he cried (:
"Governor Pollock Sheriff, was that

Governor Pollock" "Why didn't you
tell me before? III had known that
was Governor Pollock l would have
fallen at his feet and cried, Mercy

pardon me and to save me. Oh, sher-
ifl why didn't you tell me that was
the goyernor?" The poor man wept
and wrung his hands in agony, to think

with him, and had the power of par

GOODNIGHT, BUT NOT GOOD
BYE.

We fingered at the little gate,
Beneath a dark and dewy sky;
And when at last we parted, fate
Behind the shadows whispered "Wait;"
But She unheeding, murmured "Late,
Late, sweetheart, il is growing late
o, then goodnight, but not good-bye"
Watched her fitting up the stair,
And longed TO be where thought could fy
But halfway up the darkened stair
She turned and enid my longing there;
"Eyen love-" she cried, "must rest to bear
New buds for blooming Only swear
You'll not forget-ah, do not swear
And then goodnight, but not good.byel" 7"
Her voice is in my memory yet,
A still, small sound that passeth by,
For who can love and then forget?
But death is sleep; and somewhere yet
Loves morn will rise and never setl
Therefore close up her coffin; let
Her rest awhile from care and fret;
Sleep well, sweetheart I'll not forget
Goodnight, indeed, but not good-byei"

LIFE A FAlLURE"N

pastor IN Boston, ne had many con-
versions at his church, especially 6f
young men. One who had been anx-
ious for SOME time, and had attended
several inquiry meetings, being asked
on one of these occasions how he WIS
getting on, replied that he was in the
dark, and had received no light. Dr.;
Beecher having learned the nature OF
the young mans business, said to him;
" Do you think you can be a rumseller
and get to heaven? God will never bless
you in such business. You must re-
nounce it, or you can never be a Chris
tian. For your sonrs sake abandonit:
You must quit 1t or go to hell"
Those words went to his heart:
He attended one or two more inquii
ry-meetings and was no more seen
seeking to become a Christian. 1t
was a turning point with him. He
concluded not to give up rlInlselling;
Some time after this, pious rela=
tive wished to see him on the Sabbath;
and called at his residence, but lie was
absent. A friend of his went to his
store, and hearing some one inside,
knocked several times at the door and
obtained admittance, only to find him
busily engaged, on the Lords day, in
drawing liquors, and arranging for
their sale during the week. He apol-
ogized for being thus occupied, by
saying, she had SO much on his mind
he could find no other time to attend
to it,"
He was absorbed in his chosen bus
mess, seemingly forgetful of God and
eternity. He was an energetic man.,
and in this nefarious traffic accumtlla-
ted large property.
Some who were well acquainted wifi
him, and were inquire1's at the same
time, became devoted followers of the
Savior, and of their ability did much
to promote the cause of Christ. They
frequently tried to impress on him the
Importance of something better than
worldly good Of treasure in heaven,
of life consecrated to the service Cd
God, but without effect
In the latter part of his life he was
in state of unrest, and keenly felt
his want Of preparation for heaven.
He acknowledged that his life was
failure. He expressed a decided con.
viction that those, however poor, who
were serving God, were richer than he
with all his wealth and that it was Of
the highest Importance to begin life by
becoming Christians. His last illness
was Of short duration; he was not a.
ware Of the nearness of death till few
hours before he breathed his last.
When his speech had failed him, his
countenance showed great mental dis
tress, even anguish and despair. He
passed away, and gave no sign of true
repentance or faith in Christ. Young
man, it may now be turning point
in your history. Remember some op,
portunities occur but once; amistaE<
then is a mistake for life and for eter-
nifty. Hear the voice of the blessed
Savior. "Seek first the kingdom of
God and His righteousness" Say not,
tomorrow l will do so, but make the
: required sacrifice at once. and devote
your heart, your influence, your life..
to Christ F'Seek Him while He may
be found. Req. s. Gushing.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 10.-The largest
meeting Ut business men that has ever assem-
blcd at the Cotton Exchange met there this
afternoon to take action lit reference to the
policy foreshadowed BY President Hayes in his
inaugural address, and by the appointment of
u. II. Key to his Cabinet. William 4. Good
wyn presided, and speeches were made By
several prominent men. A committee was ap-
pointed to draft resolutions expressing the
sentiments OF the business men on the subject,
who reported preamble and resolutions to the
effect that the members, without committing
themselves to the legality or fairness Of the

HAYES, SOUTHERN POLICY,


So<cidl Dfspotch to The Tribune.
WAsu1xGroS, D. c., March 1o.-There is a
division OF opinion among Republicans on the
Southern question, but the Presidents policy
las not been announced except in general
terms, and it IS nut believed that any action "il
be taken to which the better element In the
party will object without careful and thorough
Investigation It Is not true that Presl-
dent Hayes Administration is determined
to abandon Packard and to Fecog-
nize Nichols. President Hayes was
iuaucuratutcd bnt five days ago, and
his Cabinet is not yet organized
Hc has said what his Southern policy Is to be,
but has not said how it is to be accomplished,
and probably does not himself now know.
Whatever may be Hayes decision as to the
legality or illegality Of the Packard Government,
it is certain that h. will not recognize any Gov
erpn,cnt the recognition Of which means that
the Government when recognized shall be Ha1n-
taiued by bayoucts. President Hayes Is fully
determined, as Charles Foster in his speech to
the ttlbusters predicted, that the dag shall 1oat
over :.
STATES, AND NOT PROVINCES.
The Kellogg Government could not be 1nain-
tanned except by bayoncts, and Packard's Gov
crnulent is said to be infinitely weaker than that
Of Kellogg. There is very much rcason to gre

hayes cannot in any event continue
inc military power after June so. The Forty
tnird Congress, which had majority Of 100
Republican votes, did not approve the bavonet
policy, and even If the Republicans in both
branches OF Congress should be united upon
thfs question now, majority could not be
lound neither House to sustain military policy
In any Southern State. The Democrats, who con-
troll the appropriations IN the House, certainly
would not vote any appropriation for the psy OF
tue army beyond June 80, and even II dedcien-
cy bill was reported, deficiency bill for the pay
OF troops used In the South would never Be-
passed in the House. The Republican Senate,
when It was mauifestly Republican, considered
the Louisiana question
FOR FOUR YEARS
without coming to any agreement except that
Pnchback Was not elected; ret some Of the am
bilious Republicans in the Senate have insisted
that President Hayes should have declared his
policy before he had been inaugurated- The
details Of President Hayes intentions are
remain fixed: The policy Of lis
Administration will be- first, PEACE pacitIcatfon,
and reconciliation in the South; second, reform
IN the civil Service within the party throughout
the country. Hayes was elected In absolute
ance will not be misplaced. It is two days less
than week since he was inaugurated, yet In
that time he has achieved triumphant victory
over the leading politicians. The Senate auto
ttro1led appointments to Office, have SUR
rendered.
It is quite evident that the details Of the
Southern policy OF the Administration will not
be arranged until after the Commission which
the President contemplates sending South
