Mr.. Moody on Sacred Concerts.

At his last service in Providence last
Sunday, Mr.. Moody gave his opinion
as follows upon sacred Sunday concerts
and like devices:
A Christian should not "be unequally
yoked together with unbelievers," and
therefore should keep out of secret
societies. A Christian young lady
should not marry a Christless young
man. l used to think the hour of death
the most solemn of all. But l now be-
lieve the hour of marriage is yet more
solemn. More misery results from un-
happy marriages than from any other
cause. There is an excursion going to
Boston to-day to ''sacred" concert.
God help the nation if we are to go on
in this way. Just put in the word
sacred" and away goes our Sabbath.
And how can church hope to prosper
when turned into a theatre with its own
members for amateur actors? Or, how
prosper by getting up fairs, oyster sup
pers, with grab boxes and such things,
or perhaps the sale of the privilege to
kiss the handsOmest woman in the
room, or some such iniquity? This is
done to induce the worldly to help the
church. But the, church don't want
such help. You lose 10y mixing up with
the worldly. A lady allowed her ca
nary bird to fly out among English
sparrows. AS result the singer lost
all his notes, and very soon he could
only "chirp, chirp." So Christians mix
up with the worldly, and soon they
can only "chirp, chirp."

Another Temperance Lecture out of
Real Life.

In Syracuse, N. Y, on Friday last,
there stood before the bar of justice a
man who pleaded guilty, upon five in
dictments for forgery, and received the
sentence of the court, which consigned
him for Is years to Auburn prison. He
was a man 4S years of age, of most re-
spectacle family, and of excellent pre-
paratory education. He had been ad-
mitted to the bar and had fair profess
sional prospects when the war of the
rebellion began. He entered the SER
vice as lieutenant, and left with the
rank of major. He was appointed pro-
vost-marshal of the Onondaga and Cort-
land district, and fulfilled the duties of
that responsible position faithfully and
well. Ten years ago he was elected
treasurer of OnOndaga county and re-
tired at the end of his term without any
stain upon his official reputation. Dur
ing that time, however, he became inn
moderately addicted to the use of in
toxicating liquors, and his career since
has been steadily downward. He stood
the other day before the court utterly
broken, physically, mentally and moral
ly. For himself, he said, when asked
why sentence should not be pronounced,
he little cared. The life inside the
prison were better for him than the life
he had led outside; but, for the sake of
his family. he would prefer light SEN
tence. There were no mitigating cir
cumstances which could induce the
judge to listen to his prayer, and the
terrible sentence was pronounced which,
at his age, probably condemns him to a
life Imprisonment

The Locked-Up Pardon.

In the Isle of Man, as | was one day
walking on the sea-shore, l remember
contemplating with thrilling interest
an old gray, ruined tower, covered with
ivy. There was remarkable history
connected with the spot. In that tower
was formerly hanged one of the best
governors the island ever possessed.
He had been accused of treachery to
the king during the time of civil wars,
and received sentence of death. Inter
cessiOn was made on his behalf, and
pardon was sent but that fell into the
hands of his bitter enemy, who kept it
locked up, and the governor was hung.
His name is still honOred by the many,
and you may often hear a pathetic
ballard sung to his memory, to the
music of the spinning wheel. We must
feel horrOr-struck at the fearful turpi-
tude of that man who, having the par
don for his fellow-creature in his pos
session, could keep it back, and let him
die the death of a traitor. But let us
restrain our indignation till we ask our
selves whether God might not point to
most of us and say: "ThOu art the man
Thou hast pardon in the thine hands
to save thy fellow-creature, not from
temporal, but Fl ON eternal death. Thou
hast pardon suited to all, sent to all,
designated for all. Thou hast enjoyed
it myself; but hast thou not kept it
back from thy brother, instead of send
ing it to the ends of the earth ?"-Hugh

How Much do I Cost YouP

A little daughter, ten years old, lay
OH her death bed. 1t was hard to paIt
with the pet of the family the golden
hair, the loving blue eyes, the bird-like
voice, the truthful, affectionate child.
How could she be given up? Between
this child and her father there had al
ways existed not a relationship merely,
but the love of congenial natures. He
fell on his knees beside his darling's
bedside and wept bitter tears. He
strove to say, but could not, "Thy will
be DONE" 1t was a conflict between
grace and nature, such as he had never
before experienced. His sObs disturbed
the child, who had been lying appar-
emily unconscious. She opened her
eyes and looked distressed.
"Papa, dear papa" she said at length.
"What, my darling?" asked her
father, striving for composure.
"Papa," she asked, in faint, broken
tones, Show much do l cost you every
year,"
"Hush, dear, be quiet !" he replied,
in great agitation, for he feared de-
lirium was coming on.
''But, please, papa, how much do l
cost you ~
To soothe her he replied, though with
a shaking voice, "Well, dearest, per-
haps two hundred dollars. What then,
darling"
because, papa, I thought maybe
you would lay it out this year in gifts,
for poor children to remember me by"
A beam of heavenly joy glanced in
the fathers heart; the joy of one noble
spirit mingled with its like. Self was
forgotten sorrow of parting, the
lonely future. Naught remained but
the mission of love, and thrill of graft
tude that he and bis beloved were CO.

Giving Without Money.

The poor give more than the rich.
This proposition holds good as gen
eral principle. Money is by no means
the only thing to give in this world ;
neither do large gifts necessarily con-
tribute more to the happiness of the re-
ceiver than small gifts. Go into any
country community and converse with
the people. Ask who ministers most
to their happiness. You will very like
ly be told of some venerated clergy
man, whose salary has never been more
than enough to barely support him ; or
some poor widow, who goes from house
to house, like ministering angel,
whenever sorrow and suffering demand
consolation or relief. 1t is astonishing
how much one without money can give,
if he will No man is so poor, no wo-
man is SO poor, as not to be able to
contribute largely to the happiness of
those around them.-Selected.

The wild vagaries of juries have been
curiOusly illustrated il st. Louis. In
1873 suits for libel were brought by one
Belle Barber against both the Globe
Democrat and the Dispatch, the two
complaints being exactly alike. On the
first trial against the Dispatch she re-
ceived verdict for $3.50, but the pro-
prietOrs appealed, and a new trial gave
a verdict of 81 against them. The first
trial against the Globe-Democrat re-
suited in a verdict for only $1,000, and
second trial being secured, a verdict
has just been brought against it for
$4,000. Here are four ''intelligent ju-
ries" sitting on exactly the same cases,
and materially the same charges from
the judge, and yet bringing in verdicts
varying from 81 to $4,000.

his sentence, he must be uncertain to
the last whether the sentence will be
carried out. The order for the exeeu
ton is only sent to the prison the eve
ming before it is to take effect, the
criminal is not informed till the next
morning, and the sentence is carried
out at very early hour.
