Some OF the Downs in Life.

We have in our mind brilliant and cul.
tlvated young lawyer who started in life
with twenty thousand dollars and refined
beautiful and accomplished wife. He is
now sort of factotum in a carpet manu-.
factory, running hither and thither at the
beck and call of those whom he secretly
despises, doing heavy tasks far beyond his
strength, yet eager and anxious to please,
lest the slender support which he derives
from his menial work be cut off. We know
gentleman who was bank president ten
years ago and owned his carriage, who now
does copying in an insurance office at thirty
five dollars month, supporting knows

know of gentleman who once held high
Office in a Western state, who, this winter,
solicited work at cleaning out offices and
building fires. Nor have the changed times

more. Jennie Collins, of Boston, famed for

" Blinded."


Only last week socialist stood up in a
meeting Of Methodists in Chicago and sneer-
ingly asked why they preached heaven in
a world to come; why they did not try to
make heaven of this world. Was there
ever more brazen, impudent ignorance The
man stood in a Methodist meeting, stood
among the representatives of the peoples
church, the friends pre-eminently of the
poor aud lowly and wretched, who are year
by year lifting thousands on thousands up
out OF degradation and misery, lifting them
up to intelligence, and righteousness, and
comfort bearing in admirable patience with
their falls and backslidings, upholding, di-
recting, cheering them until they are able
to walk alone in ways of pleasantness and
paths of peace. Did ever man show a
greater lack of knowledge, and prove him
self more unworthy of a hearing? Yes,
this is hard world to live in. 1t is place
of discipline, of trial, school, hospital, q
dispensary. We are all sinful men. We
need Christening and scourging. A true
man is the better for the discipline he en-
dures. The furnace does not iniure gold,
trial does not harm true character. So
cialism ignores, denies human depravity,
especially denies it as an attribute of its
own adherents. 1t is wise, has all knowl.
edge, is pure and good, and needs not dis
cipline. But all the same it is one of the
most evil things that ever held up its head
among men.-ChriStidn Inteligencer.

Culture Means Work.

Culture, culture-it is little god with
thousands OF young people who fail TO see
its essential selishness. There is word,
dletdnte, which has come to us from the
Italian, which expresses just little of the
weakness of culture when pursued as an
end II suggests that purposelessness of
culture which distinguishes it from the in
tensity of manly character that works for
an end. A manly man cannot help feeling
a healthy contempt for any life which ends
only in its own amusement and pleasure, no
matter how refined that amusement may be-
Cultivation for the sake of culture, sunlight
for the sake of sunshine, polishing for the
sake of polish--there is something empty
and contemplate in the very thought OF
such life. Culture is good, is beautiful !;
but culture for cultures sake, we say, is
contemptible-con because it is ut
terly selfish, and therefore, unworthy. The
grand men in the world have been the men
of force; the men who have taken hold of
other men and lifted them, instead of lifting
at their own boot-straps. No mans name
goes down TO the ages as a name of enthu-
siasm and power who has not in him a
tremendous will to accomplish something
great and good outside himself. This is the
very essence of Christianity, which is godli-
ness "My Father worketh hitherto, and
work" There is the example of God and
Christ, and the grand bidding TO the disciple
Is, " Work while the day lasts" He went
about doing good is the record of the
| Master, and "Go work to-day in my vine
yard is his command. The very beauty
andgloss of culture is its danger and weak
ness. The intellectual dandy, who stands
everlastingly before the mirror of his own
mind, to admire his own beauty, is apt tc
get tired of polishing and standing, and toe
often degenerates into lazy, lackadaisical
good-fornothing shirk. How many sucl

who dawdle and smirk and grin when othe

For My Sake"

1t is a motive which sweeps the whole
horizon of Christian obligation, and may
sustain the believer alike in his struggles
after personal holiness, in his work for the
benefit of his fellow-men, in his endurance
of suffering for conscience sake, and in max
ing of those sacrifices which are required at
his hands. Indeed, we have here the princi-
pie which has sustained all the heroes of
the Christian martyr ages, and inspired all
those movements which Christians have in
augurated and carried on for the welfare of
the human race. This is the lever that
lifted their lives up to sublimity, and this is
the influence which is to elevate ours above
the dead level Of mere worldly Selfishness.
The belief in his abiding presence, the con-
sciousness of personal union to him, and the
sense of infinite obligation to him, have
been the handspring of the noblest actions
which Christians have performed, and the
fountain whence they derived the strength
which they have put forth. In all ages
and under all circumstances, Christian life
has radated thus from the living Christ,
and the devotion of the disciple to his Lord
has been the impulse and inspiration of his
activity.-Christian al Work.

How to Succeed.

Before departing for his foreign home,
Bayard Taylor made the following remarks
respecting the rules of success, that are worth
their weight in gold to any and every young
man, as the experience of one whom all de.
light to honor g have always reverenty
accepted them; first, labor; nothing can be
had for nothing; whatever man achieves,
he must pay for it and no favor of fortune
can absolye him from his duty. Secondly,
patience and forbearance; which is simply
dependent ON the slow justice of time.
Thirdly and most important, faith. Unless
man believes in something far higher
than himself, something infinitely purer and
grauder than he can ever become-unless
he has an instinct of an order beyond his
dreams, of laws beyond his comprehension,
of beauty, and good, and justice, beside
which his own ideals are dark, he will fail
in every loftier form OF ambition, and ought
TO fail"

Not MOcked.

It is strange that any poor sinner is fool
ish enough to suppose that he can deceive
the Lord. 1t is still more strange that he
can think to crafty the Lord by making an
offering in a vain-glorious or boastfu spirit
But there is great deal of this folly in the
world. There are rich men who buy costly
seats in fashionable church, or drop money
into the contribution box, or make subscrip
tions to some religious cause, feeling that
they are doing the handsome thing by the
Lord, and that it must be pleasant for him
to receive their help And there are pastors
and evangelists, and Sunday teachers
and Young Mems Christian Association
workers, and writers for the religious press
who seem to have an idea that the Lord
would greatly miss their labors if they
should be intermtted. When there is a
new opening for work in their line, they
seize their swinging censer, or tuck their
Bagster's Bible under their arm, and push
to the temple front, to show the Lord how
much they think of him, and how much they
can do in his behalf. They have no special
sense of dependence on the Lord but they
bear themselves as if the Lord were quite
dependent on them.-S. S. Times.

WOman's Grave.

can pass by the grave of a man with
somewhat of calm Indifference, but when
survey the grave of woman a sigh invol-
unfairly escapes mo. With the holy name
of woman | associate every soft, tender and
delicate affection. ! think of her as the
young and bashful virgin, with eyes spark
ling and cheeks crimsoned with each i'm
passioned feeling of the heart; as the chaste
and virtuous matron, tried with the follies
OF the world and preparing for the grave to
which she must soon descend. There is
something in contemplating the character
of woman that raises the soul far above
the level of society. She is formed to adorn
and humanize mankind, to soothe his cares
and strew his path with flowers. In the
hour of distress she is the rock on which he
leans for support, and when fate calls him
from existence her tears bedew his grave.
Can you look upon her tomb without emo
ton? Man has always justice done to his
memory, woman never. The pages of his
tory lie open to one, but the meek and un-
obtrusive excellencies of the other sleep with
her unnoticed in the grave. In her may have
shone the genius of poet with the virtues
of a saint She, too, may have passed along
the sterile path of existence, and felt for
Others as | now feel for her.

Assurance Reasonable.

Here is true Christian daily harrassed by
the weakness of his faith. lie shuts him
self up i'll a prison of dependency, and
fastens the windows of his cell with the
gloomy bars of doubts and fears. How fool
ish he is lie has been redeemed by cov-
enant blood, saved by Almighty grace, par
doned by Jesus, set at liberty by the Son.
Yet, spell-bound by the fatal mystic power
of some weird imagination, he clings to the
gloomy walls Of Doubling Castle. What
would you say of a millionaire who went
threadbare clothed in rags, and starving
himself on a penny day? Many a Chris
tian is doing this. He passes along with
limping, hesitating gait, at a sorry pace,
toward the beautiful gates of pearl, when
there is in the divine treasury to be had,
simply for the asking grace enough to make
him, like Jacob of old, a very prince with
God. Why thus weary life with self-im-
posed burdens Go to the cross. Faith,
like the enchanter's wand, will roll the bur
den off the soul, and you will come away
with light and happy hearts, such as become
the children and heirs of king. DO not
grow weary of asking gifts of your Father.
His patient ear never wearies of your re-
quests. Never fear asking too great things
of his royal hand and heart. "Giving doth
not impoverish him, neither doth withhold
ing enrich him.

Evenings at Home.

The long evenings which follow the short
days, are made, in some families, the hap
piest Of all happy times. The cares of the
day are ended the mothers resting time has
GOMEZ the father has dropped all sorts of
business worries and perplexities, and the
whole family throw themselves with zest
into the innocent pleasures of the home
circle. Solomon tells us that there is a time
for all things; time to weep and time to
laugh. To play and sing comes most appro-
prately in the long, pleasant evening hours,
when
The cares that infest the day
Folding their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away.
1t is well for the women of the household
to remember that the pleasant evenings at
home are strong antidotes to the practice of
looking for enjoyment abroad, and seeking
for pleasures in by and forbidden places, for
relaxation and recreation will be INDUCED
IN somehow by most men, and happy are
they who find in the home circle the diver
sion they need. A lively game, an interest
ing book read aloud, or, in musical families,
new song to be practised, will furnish pas
time that will make an evening pass pleas
antly. little forethought during the day,
little pulling of wires that need not appear,
will make the whole thing easy, and differ
ent ways and means may be provided for
making the evening pass pleasantly, and a
time to look forward with pleasant anticipa-
ton. We visited once in large family
where it was the duty of each sister in turn
to provide the evenings occupation, and
there was pleasant rivalry between them
as to whose evenings should be most enjoy
able. The brothers entered fully into the
spirit of the simple home entertainments,
and were 10th to be obliged to spend an
evening away from home as their sisters
and parents were sorry to have them absent.
Every one spoke of the family as an un-
commonly united one, for each and every
member showed such a strong attachment

so much pleasure.-Rwal Home.
