cept one. They go to church they
study the Bible they understand the
plan of salvation; but when the door
Jesus Christ is open, they do not pass
through. They are all ready only one
thing more is needed-just to accept
Christ but they wait to do that one
thing.
Christians are expecting to welcome
them to the Lords table, and wonder
ing why they do not come. Christian
friends on the better side are listening
to hear the angels rejoice as the news
is brought to heaven that they have
accepted Christ. But the expectation
is disappointed, the rejoicing is not
heard.
They are waiting, they hardly know
for what but while they delay, the
time goes by and some day the Saviour
will wait no longer to welcome them /;
the Spirit will have gone forever; the
door of mercy be closed, and another
and still another soul be lost. Lost
not for lack of invitation, not for lack
of the truth-nOt for lack of intentions
to accept Christ-but lost because they
fingered.

The Door was Shut.

Some time since lady, leading two
little boys, entered the Grand Central
depot, New York city, and bought tick
cts for train waiting in the depot
The door leading from the waiting
room to the train was open, and pas
sengers were hurrying through; but
the lady fingered behind. At length
the porter, or doorkeeper, closed and
locked the door and left. Seeing il
closed, she FASTENED to it and tried to
open it, but in vain. She beckOned to
those standing on the platform to open
it for her, but they were as unable to
unlock the door as was she. Soon the
train moved off, leaving her behind.
Taking her little boys by the hand, she
slowly sought seat and sat down to
weep. She had missed the train, be-
cause she neglected to go when the
door was open. Friends would be wait
ing to welcome her, but to be disap-
pointed. She had told them that she
was coming; she had made all prepar-
ati0ns, but she waited until the door
was shut.
Many who mean to go on a longer
journey, do as did this lady. They
make up their minds to be Christians
They take all the steps. necessary, ex-

A COOP DoG.-A Londerry CORE
spondent of the Rutland Herald has the
following Mrs. Edwin French of this
place, in attempting to draw water from
a well near the house, a few days ago,
was thrown into the well by the break
ing of a board. The water was several
feet deep, but she managed to keep
her head above the surface by clinging
to the pump pipe. There was no per-
son within sound of her voice, but the
family dog, an intelligent and faithful
animal, went to the well and looked in.

thing dire had happened, followed him

They had a strike up at Mr.. Middle
ribs, last night. The baby struck for
six hours walking every night, instead
of four, which it has been getting. The
family at first refused to accede to this
preposterOus and unreasonable demand,
but the baby being monopoly, there
being no others to supply the place of
the striker, it was able to enforce its
demands, as all sleep was shut off until
a settlement was effected. The only
show of violence was the threat, on the
part of the baby, to make it warm for

years older and green apple time came

Vulcan Iron Works come forward and
figure up exactly how much profit
labor has made by chilling the immense
blast furnace. Until the mob prevent
ed the wOrkmen from continuing their
work the company had on it's pay rolls
thousand men whom it was employ
ing at full wages, while it made no
profit at all. Now it is stated that it
will he three months before the furnace
can be pnt in order again, and mean
while its workmen must remain in
idleness, and share the idleness of the
quarrymen, miners, teamsters and la
bOrers who furnish the material for the
blast. The establishment paid out
something like $1,000 a day. nearly
every cent of which went to pay the
wages of labor; from 5000 to 10000
human beings depended upon it for
their support. Its stoppage has with
drawn nearly half million dollars
from the fund which would have been
paid for labor during the next three
months, and has added an army to the
host of those who will compete in the
struggle for employment. This is a
terrible punishment for criminal folly,
and none the less terrible because the
innocent must suffer with the guilty

Transient Troubles.

Most of us have had troubles all our
lives, and each day has brought all the
evil that we wished to endure. But if
we were asked to recount the sorrows
of our lives, how many could we re-
member? How many that are six
months old should we think worthy to
be remembered or mentioned To-day's
troubles look large, but week hence
they will be forgotten and buried out
of sight. Says one writer:
''If you would keep a book, and
every day put down the things that
worry you, aud see what becomes of
them, it would he a benefit to you.
You allow thing to annoy you, just
as you allow fly to settle on you and
plague you and you lose your temper
Tor rather get it for when men are sur
charged with temper they are said to
have lost it y and you justify your
selves for being thrown off your balance
by causes which you do not trace out.
But if you would see what it was that
threw you off your balance before
breakfast, and put it down in a little
book, and follow it out, and ascertain
what becomes of it, you would see what
fool you were in the matter"
The art of forgetting is blessed art,
but the art of overlooking is quite as
Important. And if we should take time
to write down the origin, progress, and
outcome of few of our troubles, it
would make us so ashamed of the fuss
we make over them, that we should be
glad to drop such things and bury them
at once in eternal forgetfnlness.
Life is too short to be worn out in
petty worries, frettings, hatreds, and
vexations. Let us Danish all these, and
think on whatsoever things are pure,
and lovely, and gentle, and of. good re-
pOrt.-Selected.

A CRAFTY FoX.-The Somerset Re
porter (Maine,) is responsible for the
following foxy story: "The fox which
Mr.. FaEgrieves now has occupies Il
yard back of the store, to which Mr..
F.'s dog has free access. The dog and
fox are great friends. They frolic to-
gether, play no end of jokes on each
other, and live in the most perfect har-
mony save at meal time The discus
sion that a choice bit will call forth is
sometimes most interesting. Mr.. F.
gave the fox bone the other day. The
dog had been taught by experience that
it was no Use for him to try to capture
it, so he retired into the store to watch
the proceedings, doubtless hoping some
thing would turn up in his favor. The
fox ate what he wanted of the bone and
preferred to lay it away for future use.
The dog pricked up his ears, but yawn-
ed and betrayed no especial interest.
The fox dug a deep hole, placed the
juicy bone in the bottom, and covering
it over with earth, 'patted' it down.
He then went into his kennel, brought
out an old dry bone that he had kept
away from the dog for several days 'Out
of pure cussedness,' placed il in the hole
over the sweet one, covered it up with
apparent care and retired to his kennel
to watch operations. The dog saw the
fox safely housed, and, as he had done
before, stealthily approached the trea-
sure, resurrected the dry bone and trot-
ed Off"
