Needless Wounds.

II would seem there was sufficient suffer-
ing in this world from which there is no
escape. Sickness, accidents, desolation by
fire and flood, and evils of various kinds are
daily occurring, blighting hopes and filling
many heart with anguish. But one has
no need to visit the scenes of disaster, or ac-
quaint himself with any form of visible evil,
TO find and minister TO the wounded. They
are fainting and falling in our midst, smitten
by weapon fiercer and more fatal than any
the ingenuity Of man has yet devised the
weapon none other than the human tongue
The pale lips may utter no moan the weary
eye shed no tear; the blanching cheek and
troubled brow reveal no word of anguish,
while grief unutterable seals the heart in
silent and solitary gloom. Emotions deepest
and most real are often the unspoken. There
are joys too sacred for utterance, there are
griefs hidden in the sepulchre of eternal
silence, from which none can move away
the stone save him whose ear alone has heard
and whose eye has seen. There are strivings
for the right which meet only rebuke and
scorn hopes only to be blighted aspira-
tions high and holy, only to be wrecked by
the tidal wave of spoken words. Bodily
wounds, though slight, at once excite the
warmest sympathy but the wounded spirit
is too often passed unnoticed. Such we
should seek to find and cheer by the kndest
and tenderest sympathies of our nature, not
to ridicule and censure, but brighten and
strengthen by all the ministrations of love. If
there is any duty enjoned upon mankind it
is to be careful of the feelings of others
fashioned like ourselves. Many a timid and
sensitive one might, by encouragement that
costs us nothing, become powerful agents
for good, and many soul strong and happy,
which otherwise would pine in gloom and
discouragement. The charity that "think-
eth no evil" filling the heart, outward acts
nodded thereby, the oil of consolation will
fall upon many heart which grosser natures
have wounded, healing, strengthening in
spring; and the sunshine of hope and peace
beam once more over the ruin aud desolation
of earthly loves. d.

The Condescension Of the King.

Behold, Thy King oometh unto thee."-Zech ixi9
That our King should let us come to him
is condescension indeed. But have we
praised him for his still more wonderful
condescension "Thy King con,eM unto thee ="
" Unto thee" rebel, traitor, faithless subject,
coward and cold-hearted follower for where
is the life that has not fallen under these
charges, when seen in the double light of
the Kings perfect law and the Kings great
love Yes, he coineth unto thee and it is
enough to break our hearts when we get
one contrasted glimpse of this undeserved
grace and unparalleled condescension. His
great promise has had its first fulfilment
" unto thee" 1t is a finished fact of seven
fold grace. Thy King has come, and his
own voice has given the objects of his COM
ing-"to do thy will, o God !" to fulfil
the law "to call sinners to repentance -
"to seek and TO save that which was lost =
" that they might have life, and that they
might have IL more abundantly;" "a light
into the world, that whosoever believeth on
me should not abide in darkness" What
he came to do he has done, for abe faileth
not" On this we may and ought to rest
quietly and undoubtingly, for "the Lord
hath done it." But you want further full
filment--you want present coming of your
King. You have his most sweet word, q
will come TO you;" aud you respond, "Oh,
,ohen wilt thou come unto me Z" Are you
ready TO receive the King sown answer now I
DO you 80 desire his coming, that you do not
want it postponed at all Can you defer all
other corners, aud say in reality, LET my
beloved come p lie has but one answer h

WORLDS HELP.

The world Is brighter for women fair,
For the tender eyes and the flowing hair,
with its glory rare;
For the ripe-red lips that can smile and sing;
For thetouch Of grace on each lowliest thing,
Like the breath Of spring.
The world IL better for women brave,
Who stand with the Master. strong to save,
by each sln-wronght grave;
Who walk with their tender feet the way
That Is weary and rugged, day by day,
For torn souls stay.
The world Is nober for women true,
who carry the freshness Of mornings dew
At the moons high hue;
who Zee, with their clear sou-yision, far
To the glory that shines where no time can mar,
Like The ohangeless star.
The world ia stronger for women pure,
Who shine In their sphere, serene and sure
From all false allure;
Whose snowy palms are not shamed 10 fold
over hands that are rough and stained and cold,
with saving hold. ". Y. Post

Mrs. Stewards Home.

The marked feature in the Fifth avenue
has, for the last ten years, been Stewards
palace, but since the outrage holds q special
distinction only second to st. Marks. To
build such a palace was Stewards lifelong
ambition, but he was an old man before he
entered it, and after only three years he ex-
changed it for the narrow house appointed
for all living. At present it is occupied by
an afflicted widow, whose mind is shattered
by age and disease, and upon whom this
blow has fallen with fearful power The
spot has previously been marked by nisfor-
tune. Townsend, the sarsaparilla man,
made great wealth, and built the finest
house in New York, but he failed and died
miserably. Stewart then bought the prop
erty, and pulled down the splendid house in
order TO make room for his palace. lie was
forced to occupy it before it was finished,
by the fact that smallpox broke out among
his servants, and he was compelled to move
for safety. Death soon snatched him from
his palace, aud afterwards the widow got a
serious fall, from which she never fully re-
covered. The grand palace soon revealed
grand defects, one of which was that its
lofty stairs were too difficult of ascent for
an aged woman who is now imprisoned
by disease and sorrow in her room in the
second story II is surprising to gaze on
this grand establishment, which cost mil
lion, and on which the taxes alone are
seven thousand dollars, and realize that
it is devoted TO the sole use of this child
less old woman. The servants, who num-
ber at least half dozen, occupy the base
ment and attic, and are very fortunate in
having such an easy and luxurious place.
Mrs. Stewart is now favored by the attention
of her brother, Charles Clinch, to whom she
gave AN adjacent house in order to have the
family near her at this time OF age aud fee
beness. Mrs Stewart, on the death of her
husband, found herself encumbered with a
vast and unwieldy estate, which, indeed,
could only prove crushing burden. 1t in-
cluded two grand warehouses, the women's
hotel, three churches and other city property
to the aggregate number of one hundred and
twenty-six buildings. To this was to be
added the hotel at Saratoga, and the inter.
est in the ock in trade, the factories, stores
in Boston and Philadelphia, bank stocks,
and the grand palace. As, by will, Judge
Hilton was entitled to million in cash, the
widow, by way of exchange, gave him ten

Falls from the wings Of night
As feather is waited downward
From an eagle In his flight.
see the lights ofthe village
Clean through the rain and the mist,
And feeling Of sadness comes Ger me
That my soul cannot resist,
feeling Of sadness and longing
That is not akin TO pain,
But resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain.
Come, read to me some poem,
Some simple and beautiful lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And Danish the thoughts Of day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors Of time.
For. like strains OF martial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Life's endless toll and endeavor,
And tonight long for rest.
Read from some humble poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heart
As showers from the clouds Of summer,
Or tears from the eyelds start.
Who, through long days OF labor,
And nights devoid Of ease.
Stlll heard in his soul the music
OF wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse Of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
The poem Of thy choice.
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty Of thy voice.
And the night shall be Allied with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs.
And as silently steal away.

five thousand pounds is the usual
weight carried per car, and the COM

sell dressed beef by the car load in
Chicago at five cents pound. A
novel experiment was recently nude
with one Of these cars, which are the
length of an ordinary passenger car,
and are run on the broad guage roads.
The supply Of cattle had been very
short in and around Denver for some
time, but about 200 miles south, on
the Denver and Rio Grande, narrow
gauge road they were in great abund-
ance. By an arrangement Of the Cal
trucks, the car was fixed so that it
could be altered from broad to narrow
gauge or back again as desired, and
one Of the company's cars was run
from Denver down on the narrow
guage road to Ell Moro, where it was

be found of great practical benefit.
