Personal Identity In Heaven.

The Rev. DIR. Thomas Armitage, in
theDFifth Avenue Baptist Church, New
York, recently, discussed recognition in
heaven. 81 believe we surely shall
recognize our redeemed friends above.
Such knowledge is in the nature and
fitness of things. 1t is the belief of
heather and Pagan nations. The Hin
doc widow burned herself so that she
might enter the regions of the blessed
with her husband. Reasons does not
condemn the idea, nor does revelation
contradict it. 1t is taught by Chris
tianity, and often the only hope that
sustains the bereaved when they have
lost their loved ones is that of meeting
and knowing them hereafter Our
love of those in heaven is wrapped up
in the love of those on earth. There
will be mutual development of our
personal identity there, and we shall
know each other intuitively. 1t often
takes years on earth to complete
perfect friendship, and it is hard to be-
lieve that it will be entirely crushed out
hereafter. GOD does not create great
desires or expectations within us with
out supplying something to crafty
them. Heaven would be less privileged
than earth were there no friendship.
in it. Although dearly love music,
yet if heaven were but continual psalm
OF song and rejoicing it would become
wearisome to me. We crave intellect,
feeling, knowledge, and full grasp of
the better-part of nature, imperfect here.
If do not know those 1 know here,
shall be changed in intellect, feeling,
memory, and every mental quality.
Indeed, the terrible conviction is forced
upon me that 1 shall be no longer my
self. If am not to know my friends,
some imperfection will be in my mind,
and shall be inferior in heaven to what
| was on earth"

When Monsieur Colombies, Partisan
merchant, died, he left about SO 600 TO a
lady of Rouen for having twenty years

which," states the will, {" was enabled

in giving instructions for his will he di-

A Chinese Thlef's Oh arm.

A CALIFORNIA PAPER tells a
IA rich story of rich Chinaman =
one of the richest Mongolians in San
Francisco. His name is Chew Kow Yup
and he knew trick worth thousand
of Ah Sins. The story goes that he
came to California about seven years
ago, penniless thief, He heard the
California stories about leprosy among
the Chinese, and appreciated the Ameri-
can dread of this disease. He utilized it
and straightway committed to memory
just four mongrel words: "You savee
me leper." They constituted meaning
motto, and acted as o charm of safety
for Chew Kow Yup in the plying of his
trade. He could not be idle; the Chi
nese never can.
The second night after his arrival he
broke into dry goods store, and was
carrying away his load when police
man collared him. He was perfectly
tame and meek, and made no resistance
He simply said:
You savee me leper."
The policeman wildly fled, leaving the
leper to do all the stealing he wanted in
that dry goods store. 1t worked well,
and Chew Kow Yup thrived.
Once, and once only, he allowed HIM
self to be taken into court, and this was
an experiment to try the humor of the
thing on the dignity of a judicial tri-
bunal. He was charged with whole
sale diamond robbery, and when asked
if he pleaded guilty or not guilty, he
plaintively replied:
"You savee me leper."
A stroke of lightning in the midst. of
that court could not have made greater
CONSERVATION. The room was emptied
in less than forty seconds of every soul
but the prisoner. He calmly gathered
up two of the jurymen's hats, the judges
gold spectacles, and al. the loose change
in the clerks drawer, and walked off
'unmolested. That trial was never re-
sumed. The magical thief-charm was
as effective in reality as any Oriental in
visible cap of the fables. Chew Kow
Yup, of course, had no taint of leprosy.
He left for Hong Kong on a late steamer
with 100000, the accumulated fruits of
his industry and understanding of
American character.

with the nation, from the fact that the
Russian people believe, and justly, too,
that he was very firm advocate of the
manumission of the serf. He was
anxious for it, and he had the sagacity
to understand, after the Crimean war,
which resulted very disastrously to
Russia, and which exhausted the nation
financially, that it was not polite for
that Government to carry on another
war against so many nations unless
they had middle class. Next to Gorts-
chakoff in importance is Ruytan, the
Finance Minister, who has been for a
long time in the place. He is from the
Baltic provinces and is, as his name
indicates of German descent. In religion
he is Lutheran. He has made finance
his study he travelled in this country
many years ago, before he came to his
present position, and is very able and
literally educated man. More before the
public that Ruytan is Ignatieff. He is
the son of very distinguished Russian
General. That he is regarded as one of
the leading men in Russia is indicated
by the fact of his many years residence
in Constantinople as Ambassador.

Lecturing a Teacher.

When Aaron Burr was at Princeton
College, he took strong dislike to one
of the professors, who, being good deal
of martinez, was in the habit of lectur-
ing the students for tardiness and other
misdemeanors. The professor was a
member of society of which Burr
happened to be president, and OCCASION
ally attended the meetings. One even
ing he came in while they were transact
ing business. Burr saw this opportunity,
and determined to improve it. With
great dignity and severe countenance,
he called the professor to rise. He then
began to lecture him on the bad habit of
a want of punctuality, adding that the
older members were expected to set a
good example to the younger.
81 hope" he said, in closing, " not to
be under the necessity of recurring to
the subject again. You may take your
seat SIR"
The whole thing was done so natural
ly and gravely that the professor sub
mitted like school-boy, and it was said
that great improvement in his treat
ment of the students followed. He had
learned by experience the dlsagreeable-
ness Of personal lectures before crowd
of witnesses.

Ru ssian Statesmen.

Governor Curtin, once Minister to the
Court of st. Petersburg, is writing an
interesting series of articles on Russia
for The Christian Union. The statesmen
who Immediately surround the Cars
throne are, in his judgment, the equals
of any in the world. Gortschakoff, the
leading spirit, has more power than is
represented by the Chancellor of the
German Empire, or by the Prime Minis
ter in England, or the chief Cabinet
officer of the United States, and he en-
joys to a wonderful extent the confidence
of the sovereign. He is also very popular

The Tooth Anniversary
OF THE
BATTLE AND MASSACRE OF WYOMING.
1873.
1873

There is a woman widowed, gray and old,
Who tells you where the foot of battle stepped
Upon their day of massacre. She told
Its tale, and pointed to the spot, and wept,
Whereon her father and five brothers slept
Shroudless the bright dreamed sumbers the brave
When all the land funeral mourning kept
And there, wild laurels planted on the grave
BY Natures hand in air their pale red blossoms wave
And on the margin of yon orchard hill
Are marks where tme.worn battlements have been,
And in the tall grass traces inger still
OF ''arrowy freze and wedged javelin"
Five hundred of her brave that valley green
Trod on the morn in soldier-spirit gay;
But twenty lived to tell the MONDAY scene
And where are now the twenty Passed away.
Has death no triumph-hours on the battle day?

THE 3rd of July, 1873, will complete
Il the century since the fearful battle
and massacre of Wyoming desolated
this fair valley. Historian and poet have
alike preserved the picture of that dark
and bloody scene in all its lurid shades
the stern reality of fact across which
falls the light of romance making Wy
oming's soil to be revered as classic and
sacred ground.
1t is eminently fitting then, as the
hundred years are rounded up, that the
descendants of those brave men should
appropriately commemorate the day
which saw their fathers seal their de-
votion to the cause of freedom in torture
and death, and consecrate anew, with
eloquence and song, the ground on
which they were strewn in manly bat
tie, or tortured and slain in treacherous
surprise. .res.
In consonance with this, the 3rd and
4th of July next will witness a Memo
rial Service in honor of the day and the
heroic dead, worthy alike of the brave
Colonists and their children, and the
quiet wales of Wyoming and the busy
streets of Wilkesbarre will re-echo with
the recital of the thrilling story by ora
tor and poet, with the thunders of artil-
lery, with the tramp of thousands,
and with the stirring music of martial
melody.
Over the plain where the battle COM
menced at historic Wintermoot, ending
at "Queen Esther's Bloody Rock" the
procession will pass, listening to de-
scriptive address, while at the latter the
grafton will be delivered which tells of
the surrender, the broken faith of the
treaty, the horrid butchery ,and the wild
hurrying to and fro of the terror-stricken
women and children and aged men, to
escape the torture of fire and the ruth
less scalping knife, and their untold suf-
ferings as they buried't themselves far over
the mountain in the "Shades of Death. )"
At the Monument, erected by the unset
fish devotion of the women of wy
oming, nearly half century ago, other
and fitting exercises will be held, which
will close the Memorial Service of the
first day.
On the second day, which happily
commentaries the nations birthday.
the scene will be transferred to the city
of Wilkesbarre, then as now the impor-
tant town of the Valley. Here the Mem
orial Service will be transposed into one
of celebration and rejoicing, that out of
the suffering and affiiction of that terri
BILE day have come peace and prosperity,
and out of its bitter defeat and cruel
massacre, deathless victory. The his
tory of the Valley will be fifty and beau
tifully illustrated in moving pageant,

Willow Street Wharf superstItlons.

Captains and sailors have queer SUI
perstition in regard TO Willow street
wharf, Philadelphia, where the Metrop-
oils weighed anchor. They say that
every vessel that has sailed direct from
that wharf-that is, without touching
elsewhere on the way down the river
has been lost. The first was the United
States steamer Miami, which sailed
from there in 1865 for New Orleans, and
was wrecked in one of the passes to the
Mississippi river and all hands lost. The
next was the bark Albatross, which sail
ed for Pernambuco in 1871 or 1872. She
was never heard of afterward. The brig
Edna left shortly afterward and was
wrecked ON the Bahamas, the majority
of her crew being lost. The number of
canal boats that have sunk at Willow
street wharf have inspired canal boat
captains with dread of making fast to
the pier. Captains of vessels who have
occasion to load at that pier frequently,
it is said, take on the first part of the
cargo there and take the balance at an
other wharf. The police officers remark
as well-know fact that majority of
the drunken men who walk overheard
into the Delaware select either Willow
street or Race street wharf.
81 Death from joy is rare occur
renee in this sober, cloudy world. A
Sheffield blacksmith, who had been in
prison for two months, returned to his
home, and on seeing his wife and child,
was so overpowered that he ruptured his
heart and died before physician could
be summoned.

that Chapman had frequently express

last Saturday he told his relative
that he must either quit the girl or quit the
business in which he is engaged as partner,
it is said of Chapman's; that the nephew,

is what gives importance to it. This girls

he would rid the town of the girl too, had
him prohibited from practicing medicine,
