A LEGkND OF LOS ANGELES,


Away back in 1880 or 1851 young man
named Irwin made his appearance III
the old city Of the angels. Lie WAS full
Of oatns, and was accompanied by fitteen
Or sixteen young blades like hims elf.
One OF his virtues was fraukness. He
announced that he and his followers
were en- route to Mexico, and that their
errand was Lo rob. Don Benito Wilson
was at that time III business In Los An-
geles. He Witnessed tue advent of this
lawless band with considerable disqulet,
as he mad large STOCK OF goods in store,
and was not entirely resigned 10 its loss.
Irwin, the leader OF the band, however,
sought his acquaintance. The brigand
proved TO be young lawyer, OF a good
New York family, and very accom-
plished and fascinating fellow withal.
lie told Don BenIto that he need not be
alarmed; that he intended to reserve
his lawless operations tor the Mexican
people; and on these terms his intimacy
could not we'll be rejected. AT tlis time
the mining excitement had called most
OF the male Los Angelenos away, and
the polished and handsome IRWIN had
every thing his own way.
Irwin and his confederates concluded,

a man fertile in resources. The Die.

at that time pretty numerous about San

Lugo, who proposed 10 them that they

no ARMOR FOR THE BACK.

Let me advise you to wear no armor
for your back, when you have deter
mined to follow the track of truth.
Receive upon your breast plate of
righteousness the sword cuts of your
adversaries; the stern metal shall turn
the edge of your foeman's weapon.
Let the right be your lord paramount,
and for the rest be free and your own
master still. Follow truth for her own
sake; follow her in evil report; let not
many waters quench your love to her.
Yield to no established rules If they in
volve a lie. Do not evil that good
should come of it. "Consequencesw
this is to the devils argument. Leave
consequences to God, but do right. IL
foemen surround thee, do the right,
Be genuine, real, sincere, truth, up
right, godlike. The worlds maxim is:
Trim your sails and yield to circum-
stances. But if you would do any
good in your generation, you must be
made of sterner stuff. and help make
your times rather than be made by
them. You must not yield to customs.
but, like the anvil, endure all blows,
until the hammers break themselves.
When misrepresented, use no crooked
means to clear yourself. Clouds do
not last long. If in the course of duty
you are tried by the distrust of friends

heart: was not driven 70 virtue by

CAST OUT BUT RESCUED.

met a man in New York who was
an earnest worker, and asked him to
tell me his experience. He said be had
been a drunkard for over twenty
years. His parents had forsaken him
and his wife had cast him off and mar
ried some one else. He went in a law
yer's Office in Poughkeepsie, mad with
drink. This lawyer proved Good
Samaritan, and reasoned with him,
and told him be could be saved. The
man secuted the idea. He said: 81
must be pretty low when my father
and mother, my wife and kindred,
have cast of, and there is no hope for
for me here or hereafter" But this
Good Samaritan showed him how 1t
was possible to secure salvation, got
him on bis feet, got him on his beast
like the Good Samaritan of old, and
guided his face toward Zion. And this
man said to me: 81 have not drank
glass since.n He is now leader of a
young mems meeting in New York. |
asked him to come last Saturday night
to Northfield, my native town, where
there are a good many drunkards,
thinking he might encourage them to
seek salvation. He came and brought

these two men went on telling what
God had done for them; how he had

and unalloyed happiness to their souls.

Snndau Rsading.
THE WISDOM OF LOVING GOD.

Let US see how the Lord himself. in
the Gospel has taught us to live; how
too, Paul the apostle. Let US hear, o,
Christ, what Chief end Thou dost pre-
scribe to us; and that is evidently the
chief end after which we are told to
strive with supreme affection. Thou
shalt love-" He says, "the Lord thy
God" Tell me also, l pray Thee,
what must be the measure of love; for
1 fear lest the desire kindled in my
heart should either exceed or come
short in fervor. "With all my heart"
He says. Nor is that enough yet.
with all my mind" What do wish
more2 / might perhaps, wish more,
if 1 could see the possibility of more
What does Paul say on thisl "We
know that all things issue in good to
them that love God" We have heard
then, what and how much we must
love: this we must strive after, and to
this we must refer all our plans. The
perfection of all good things, and our
perfect good, is God. We must neither
come short of this; nor go beyond it;
the one is dangerous, the other impos.
sible.
Following after God is the desire of
happiness itself We follow after God
by loving Him; we reach Him not by
becoming entirely what He is, but in
nearness to Him, and in being inwardly
illuminated and occupied by His truth
and holiness. He is light itself. We
get enlightment from Him.
The mind becomes like God, to the
extent vouchsafed by its subsection of
itself to Him for information and en-
Iightenment.
The further a mind departs from
God the more it is filed with folly and
wretehedness. By love it returns to
God, and love which places it not
along with God, but under Him. And
the more ardor and eagerness there is
in this, the happier and more elevated
will the mind be, and with God as sole
Governor, it will be in perfect liberty.

OUR FACES.

Not always do our faces bear
A faithful record of the wear
Of time upon the inner life.
The ceaseless and the dreary strife
Of passions that within US roll
The secret struggles of the SOUL
May frequently impart
Their history to the human face,
But oh! how oft they leave no trace?
How oft there cometh to all men
The hour Of gloom and sorrow, when
The placid brow does not express
The sense of loneliness
That rests upon the heart.
When cherished visions fade away,
Or those who loved us once betray,
Or when the earth is laid above
The still, cold form of one We love.
Our faces for awhile reveal
The litter woe we inly feel;
But later on the seal
or pride IS set upon our grief,
istt may lOt tuCuSCiOith huu iCiiti
In outward seeming, but must dwell
Within the hearts most secret cell,
That careless eyes may not behold
The depth of misery untold
And agony We feel.
1t is because we idly fear
The heartless cynic's covert sneer
That thus we veil our better part
In the still chambers Of the heart:
Or is il that We hold our woe
Too sacred for the world to know,
And only for the eye
OF HIM who reads all hearts TO see?
| know nOt;-yet it seems to me
The world were better could it know
That yerdure bloomed beneath the snoy
Could it but rend the icy veil,
And see that, though the surface fail,

MARY'S LAMB PARODIED.

Mary was the proprietress of diminutive
inciplent sheep,
Whose outer covering was as devoid of
coloring as CONCEALED atmospheric
vapor,
And to all localities which Mary peram-
bulated,
The young Southdown was morally sure
to follow.
Ii tagged her to the dispensary of learning
one dismal section of the time,
Which was contrary to all precedent,
And excited the caehination of the Semin-
ary attendants,
When they preceived the presence of
Young mutton at the establishment
of instruction.
Consequently the preceptor expelled him
from the interior;
But he continued TO remain in the imme-
diate vicinity,
And continued in the neighbOrhOOd with
f.etfulness,
Until Mary once more became visible.
