Alone With God.

One Sabbath night, after discoursing on
very solemn subject which had stirred my
own soul, took a walk before going home.
1t was clear starlight without any moon. and
the heavens looked down upon me with all
their sublime impressiveness found my
self, unconsciously, walking in the direction
of the mill. I had not gone far when / met
my senior colleague and friend pacing slowly,
up and down, by the side Of the stream near
bis house. As soon as came up he said:
-"Man, couldns gang hame direct frae
the chapel the NIGHT. After hearin' your
sermon wanted to be alane wi God; and |
never feel His presence as much as when |
am oot in nicht like this. Ye war speakin'
aboot death. Dye ken l never think o
death! It's aye life that fills my mind. AS
lang as see sic sky as that abune me, and
hae grip O. Christ within me, I'm sure that
death is swallowed up in victory. am no
sac sure as some folk seem to be that heaven
will be sac different from this warl'. When
l was laddie I used to read the Book of
Revelation frae beginnin' to end on Sab
bath afternoon; and on Monday mornin',
when got up to herd my fathers coos, jist
as the sun was risin' and spreadin' glimmer
owre the lift, the bits o brides praising God
wi a. their micht, and the loch at the ft o
the field like pictur' o peace, wondered
if Revelation and natur' werena a ane, and
sometimes thocht that the new heaven and
new earth jist meant that when We woke up
on the resurrection morn we would find our
selves in this same place, with this differ
that sin and sorrow had feed ava as the
NIGHT was passin', iist like mist frae the
braes." ."-,Scottish Magazine.

OLD FASHIONED HEREsIEs-The Sunday
School Times says: "With all the rage for
old-fashioned andirons, and clocks, and bu-
reaus, and spinning wheels, which causes such
a ransacking of garrets, and watching of
second hand furniture stores, it is hardly to
be wondered at that old-fashioned heresies
are newly popular in the community. In.
deed, the old hereses are as good now as
ever they were, and possibly quite as good
as any new ones would be. But is. it fair for
man to claim credit as religious inventor
when he has merely set up anew relic from
q theological auction shop? On Chestnut
street sign board two enterprising dealers ad-
vertise themselves as the "originators and
introducers of old fashioned molasses candy"
Those dealers are entitled to just about as
much credit as, in another line, are the few
rhetorical clergymen and irreligious laymen
who are now extensively advertised as the
originators and introducers-out of their
fresh Investigations and their profound schol-
arship-of the old-fashioned heresy of res
tora!ionism.' There is certainly no novelty
in the no-hell theory"

REDUCE CHURCH ExpENsEs.-One means
of remedying the present condition of affairs
lies in the exercise Of timely and judiciOus
economy in church management. There is
a great deal of archaeological extravaganza
which ought to be severely cut down. Not
only in New York and the larger cities, says
the Rev. DR.. Taylor, but all through the
country, in village and hamlet, there is man
ifest tendency on the part of churches to
exceed their means, and to 90 further than
the church across the way can afford. Keep
down the useless expenses, lop off the extras,
put the pews at the lowest possible rates, and
make especial provision for single sittings in
eligible parts of the building; and further,
provide free sittipgs for those who through
misfortune are unable to contribute to the
support of the church. In this way we shall
hear less of the charge that the gospel is not
preached to the poor, and churches will not
become liable to the reproach of furnishing
gospel which can only be had for money.

GODS LIGHT.

was once lost for an hour in subter-
ranean cavern; the oozing moisture from the
rocks had extinguished our candles, and in
creeping through the low passes, from cham
Der to chamber, all our matches had become
damp. Between US and the outer air stretched
q mile of perilous, and sometimes almost i'm
passable labyrinths, and the chill, black air
around US was full of weird, hideous rever-
berations. 0, how carefully we stroYe to
kindle the old light, and when at last it slow
ly caught and kindled, ainging its blessed
lustre along those grim rocks and miry ways,
then did not that old cavern ring again with
great shout of gladness
And such light the blessed Bible pours
through the gloomy ways and dark night of
life; and this is the light in6delisy is trying
to extinguish. Thank God, they cannot

Element, and over the precipice Of destruc-
ton. But glory unto God they cannot put

shine along all our paths; it will shine on
our desth-bed it will shine on our grave
every day, every hour, it is fnging broad
er, brighter efulgence into all the dark places
of this redeemed world.
But meantime, not so much in indignation
as in plying sorrow, the Christian heart
moves over the ineffable madness of men
who, with their love of darkness, will war
with the light. They showed me grand
lighthouse on the shore of yonder sea, fitted
up at great cost with metallic mirrors and
crystal lenses, whose ever.burning lamps
pour forth food of light over leagues of
weltering waters, and when the mid night
deepens, hundreds of weather beaten mari.
ners catch afar off the friendly lustre, and
warned of rock and breakers, lift up joyous
eyes heavenward and thank God for the
fame. But meanwhile, alas foCks Of swift.
winged birds, rushing through night and
storm, dash themselves against the crystal
lenses, not indeed extinguishipg the lustre,
but falling back into the roaring waters,
bleeding-seD destroyed, dead. 0 be warn
ed! ye that set yourselves against God, and
take counsel against the Almighty. Alas!
alas! that the very light of heaven should
only guide your mad feet along the broad
road of destruction, down the awful preci-
pices Of despair, into the terrible abyss of
death.-Rev. Charles WddswoYth.

not be settled over that congregation, but
pass on to some other.
How would DR.. RobiDson's idea that the
Spirits call is always and only through the
votes of members of the church, and never
through men that make no profession, apply
to the call of the missionary from the hea-
then !? Shall we say the truly called foreign
missionary hears no wailing cry from those
poor perishing outsiders? But if the hea-
then can call affectively to the inmost heart
and conscience Of preacher, why may not
the outsiders in congregation at home unite
with church members in giving such call ?

HE CARETH FOR YOU"

fl could only surely know
That all these things that tire me 50
Were noticed by my Lord
The psng that cuts me like q knife,
The lesser pains Of daily life,
The noise, the WEAKNESS, the strife
What peace it would sffordl
wonder if he really shares
In sll my little human cares,
This mighty King of kings;
Ifhs who guides each blazing star
Through realms of boundless space altar,
Without confusion, sound, or jar,
Stoops to these petty things.
1t seems to me, if sure of this,
Blent with each i'll would come such bliss,
That might eovet pain,
And deem whatsver brought to me
The loving thought of Deity,
And sense of Christ's sweet sympathy,
No loss, but richest gain.
Dear Lord, my heart hath not a doubt
That thou dost compass me about
With sympathy divine.
The love for ne, once eruei6ed,
Is not love to leave my side,
But waiteth ever to divide
Each smallest care of mine.

PRINCE BISMARCK, relates the Strasburg
Gazette, was once asked by Count Enzen-
berg, formerly Hessian Envoy at Paris, to
write something in his album. The page on
which he had to write contained the auto
graphs of Guizot and Theirs. The former
had written" have learnt in my long life
two rules of prudence. The first is to for
give much; the second is never to forget"
Under this Theirs had said,-" A, little for
getting would not detract from the sincerity
of the forgiveness. Prince Bismarck added,
"As for me, l have learnt to forget much,
and to ask to be forgiven much"

error. During that period when the paralyzing
hand of disease lay heavy upon him, the Divine
Father spared his reason for many days. In those
long days Of honest earnest introspection, the light
from heaven so filed his mind and heart that his
thoughts were mellowed into the sweet tenderness
of al-embracing charity. He carried no resent
ments to the grave-it is meet that none should
follow him there His battle.axe of controversy
was melted down by the fervor Of divine love, and
the spendor of his genius paled only in the triumph
of his faith. As he came into the world in the
body SO he passed out of it in the spirit-a little

HydrOcfanfc Poisoning by Swallow.
ing Peach Kernels

A fatal case of poisoning by peach stones
which has just occurred in Paris may serve
as warning to those families in which chit
dren are allowed to look after themselves for
hours together. 1t may be assumed that very
few children under the age, say of 10 or Il
have any idea that peach stones or peach bios.
SONS are dangerous. They have been shown
the deadly nightshade, and probably the wild
hemlock, and have a canny dread of them !;
but nurSemaids are not nearly so fond of point
ing out the peach tree as an object of horror
and aversion. The victim OF the recent acct
dent in Paris had certainly not been cautioned
aga inst the attractions of the peach. He h ad
developed at the tender age Of eand- a half
the faculty OF reasoning on inductive princi-
pies, and he saw no reason to doubt that as
