AN APE INA PULPIT.-Father Cassu-
bon, famous preacher, brought up the
animal in question, which having be-
come attached to him, wished to follow
him wherever he went. One day when
Cassubon was going to church, the ape,
not being made secure. followed his mas
ter to the place of worship, anil being a
good climber, silently mounted the
sounding board and lay concealed until
the sermon was 10 course of delivery
1t then advanced to the edge of its perch
to see what was going on beneath it, and
to watch the actions of the orator. These
were 20 sooner observed by the mimic
than it began to perform also, and its
limitations of the preacher were so gro
tesuue that the whole congregation was
put in a state of great risibiiity such as
could not be repressed.
The good father was alike shocked and
indignant at the ill timed levity of his
audience, and began to administer some
severe reproofs; but seeing all his efforts
failing he launched forth into violent
action, accompanied by loud vocifera-
tions. His frequent gestures the ape did
not fail to take up Immediately with no
less animation than that which inspirit-
ed his master. And at this apparent
competition ofthe two individuals the
people burst into roars of laughter, and
when the animal was pointed out to the
pastor, though highly exasperated, it il
said he could hardly command his owr
countenance while he gave directions tG
have the ape removed.

s.sOMEBODY.s MOTHER"

The woman was old, and ragged, and gray,
And bent with the chill of Winters day;
The streets were white with q recent snow,
And the woman's feet with age were slow.
At the crowded crossing she waited long,
Jostled along by the careless throng
VI human beings who passed her by,
ohneeolng the glance of her anxious eye.
Down the street with laughter and shout
Glad in the freedom of school let out.u
Come happy b Us. like a flock OF sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and deep.
Fast the woman, so old and gray
fastened the children on their way,
None offered helping hand to her,
So weak and timid, afraid to stir,
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses feet
Should trample her down in the slippery street.
At. last. came out of the merry troop
The gayest boy of all the group;
He paused beside her, and whispered low,
"rll help you across If you wish to go?"
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed, and SO, without hurt or harm,
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong:
Then back again to his friends he went,
His young heart happy and well content.
"She's Somebody's Mother boys, you know,
For all she's aged, and poor and slow;
And some one some time may lend hand
10 help MY mother-you understands
Ii ever she's poor, and old, and gray,
And her own dear boy is far away"
somebody's Mother" bowed low her head
IN her nome that night, and the prayer she said
Was:-"God be kind to that noble boy.
VINO is SOMEBODY'S Son, and pride and joy"
Faint was the voice, and worn and weak,
But Heaven lists when It's chosen speak;
Angels caught the faltering word,
And Somebody's Mothers" prayer was heard

SHORTCOMINGS.
BY MRS. BROWNING.

BY MRS. BROWNING.
She has laughed as softly as IL she sighed!
She has counted six and over
OF purse well filled and heart well tried
o! each a worthy lover
They give her time; for her soul must slip
Where the world must set the growing,
She will lie to none, with her fair red lip
But love seeks truer loving.
She trembles her fan in a sweetness dumb,
AS her thoughts were beyond recalling,
With glance for one. and glance for some,
From her eyelids rising and falling,
Speaks common words with a blushful air;
Hears bold ones, unreproving;
But her silence says what she never will swear
And love seeks better loving.
Go, lady! lean to the light guitar,
And drop smile to the bringer,
Then smile as sweetly when he is far,
At the voice of an indoor singer;
Bask tenderly beneath tender eyes;
Glance lightly on their removing
And join new VOWS to old perjuries--
But dare not call it loving!
Unless you can think when the song is done
No other is soft in the rhythm;
Unless you can feel when left by one
That all men else go with him;
Unless you can know when appraised by his
breath
That your beauty itself needs proving;
Unless you swear. "For life-for death!"
Oh! fear to call it loving!
Unless you must in a crowd all day
On the absent face that fixed you;
Unless you can love, as the angels may,
With the breath of heaven betwixt you;
Unless you can dream that his faith is fast
Through behooving and unbehooving;
Unless you can die when the dream is past!
Oh never call it loving!

STURGEON ILLUsTRATIoN.-R
Gently, in illustrating the theme, "a
Man in Christ" Mr. Spurgeon told a
story that is worth repeating He said:
Some Christians remind me of the little
boys who go to bathe; all frightened
and shivering, they enter into the water
just little-up 10 their ankles they
wade and shiver again. But the man
who is really in Christ is like the prac-
ticed swimmer who plunges into the
stream head first, and finds water to
swim in. He never shivers. 1t braces
him. He rejoices in it. 1t has become
his element. This is the man who un-
derstands the happiness of religion in
manner far beyond the conception of
the half and half professor who has on
ly religion enough to make him miser
able.
/ sometimes illustrate this by quaint
American story. An American gentle
man said to friend, II wish you would
come down to my garden, and taste my
apples" He asked him about dozen
times, but he did not come, and at last
the fruit-grower said, II suppose you
think my apples are good for nothing,
so you won't come and try Them"
well, to tell the truth" said the friend,

the road. picked one up that fell over
the wall and 1 never tasted anything so
sour in all my life; and do not par
ticularly wish to have any more of your
fruits" "O." said the owner of the
garden, II thought it must be so. Those
apples around outside are for the special
benefit of the boys. 1 went fifty miles
to secure the sourest sorts to plant all
around the orchard, so the boys might
give them up as not worth stealing; but
if you will come inside. you will find
that we grow very different quality
there. sweet as honey" Now, you will
find on the outskirts Of religion there
are a number of "Thou shall nots," and
"Thou shalts," and convictions, and
alarms but these are only the bitter
fruits with which this wonderous Eden
is guarded from thieving hypocrites. If
you can pass by the exterior bitters, and
give yourself right up to Christ and live
for him, your peace shall be as the waves
of the sea; and you shall find that the
fruits of "this apple tree among the
trees of the woods" are the most deli
cious fruits that can be enjoyed this side
our eternal home.

A DINNER AND A KISS,

II have brought you dinner, father,''
The blacksmith's daughter said,
As she took from her arms kettle
And lifted it's shining lid:
"There's not any pie or pudding,
So will give you this;"
And upon his toil-worn forehead
She left the childish kiss.
The blacksmith took offhis apron
And dined in happy mood,
Wondering much at the SAVIOR
Hid in his humble food;
While all about him were visions
Full of prophetic bliss;
But he never thought of the magic
In his little daughters kiss.
While she with her kettle swinging,
Merrily trudged away;
Stopping at sight of squirrel,
Catching some wild birds ".
And thought how many shadow
Of life and fate we would miss,
II always our frugal dinners
Were seasoned with a kiss.

The COLORED ExoDUs.-The Louis
vile Courier Journal regards the color
ed exodus from the South as a political
trick, and, in urging Congressman
WhitthOrne to press his resolution to
investigate this emigration movement,
says: 1.-The whole exodus scheme is a
piece of scoundrelism. The monsters
who are at the bottom of it know perfect
ly well what they are about. They have
for their object the Justification of the
next census. The exodus scheme is a
census movement purely. The negro is
simply to be used, as the Republicans
have always used him, as so much fuel
to fan the flame of sectional strife and
hate, regardless of his fate. AS a trick
1t is the worst yet; base born, black
hearted piece of barbarous cruelty which
every villain who supports it knows to
be Infamous and inhuman."

Beautiful Words to a Bride.

The following beautiful letter was
written, several years ago, by a gentle
man to bride, on receiving her we'd
ding cards. 1t is exquisitely fresh and
original, and full of poetry. Though
not intended for publication, it found
its way into print, and we think it is
too much of gem to be lost entirely:
II am holding some pasteboard in nv
hands, Addie. Three pluckings from
the bush of ceremony! am gazing
on card and a name-a name with
which your gentle life began-a name
with which your throbbing heart was
lost. There was nothing strange about
the card. The maiden sign still looks
from it, calm and customary, as it looked
on many friendly visit, as it lies in
many formal basket. lam gazing, too,
npon card, where the nearer parent
tells the world she will be at home one
day, and that is nothing new. But
there is another card whose miugling
there puts fiery tongue into this
speechless pasteboard enameling fate on
common place. 1t tells US that feeling
is maturing into destiny and that these
cards are but the pale heraIds of a COM
ing crisis when hand that has pressed
close down on him to whom she shall
be friend and flower forever.
! have sent you few flowers to adorn
the dying moments of your single life.
They are the gentlest types of delicate
and durable friendship. They spring
up by our side when others have de-
serted it, and they will be found watch
ing over our grave when those who
should cherish have forgotten us. It
seems to me that a past so calm and pure
as yours should expire with kindred
sweetness about it. The flowers and
music. kind friends and earnest words,
should consecrate the hour, when SEN
timent is passing into sacrament.
The three great stages of our being
are the birth, the bridal, the burial. To
the first we bring only weakness; for
the last we have nothing but dust. But
the pair come throbbing up to the holy
man, whispering the deep promise that
arms each other with the others heart.
to help on the life's struggle of care and
duty.
The beautiful will be there, borrowing
new beauty from the scene; the gay
and the frivolous, they and their fleunc-
es, will come to gaze on all its scattered
thoughts pant for; and age will totter
up to hear the old words repeated that
to their own lives have given the charm.
Some will weep over it as if it were
the tomb, and some will laugh over it
as if it were joke. Two must stand
by it, for it is fate-not fun-this ever
lasting locking of their lives.
And now can you, who have queened
it over SO many bended forms. can you
ceme down at last to the frugal diet of
single heart?
Hitherto you have been a clock, Civ
ing your time to all the world. Now
you are watch, buried in one particu-
lar bosom, watching his breast, marking
only his hours, and ticking only to the
beat of his h. art-where time and feel
ing shall be in unison, until these lower
ties are lost in that higher wedlock,
where all hearts are united around the
great central heart of all.

MEN WANTED 1t has been truly
said that the great want of the age is
men Men of thought; men of action.
Men who are not for sale. Men who
are honest to the hearts core Men
who will condemn wrong in friend or
foe-in themselves as we'll as Others
Men whose cOnsoiences are as steady as
the needle to the pole Men who well
stand for the right, if the heavens totter
an the earth reels. Men who can tell
the truth and look the world and the
devil right in the eye. Men that neither
swagger nor finch. Men who can have
courage without whistling for 1t, and joy
without shouting to bring it. Men
through whom the current of everlast-
ing life runs still and deep, and strong.
Men too large for sectarian limits. and
too strong for sectarian bonds. Men
who know their measure and tell it
Men who know their duty and do it.
Men who know their place and fiji 1t.
Men who mind their own business
Men who will not lie. Men who are
not TOO lazy to work nor too proud to be
poor. When in Office, in the workshop.
IN the counting room, in the bank, in
every place of trust and responsibility
we can have such men as these, we shall
nave a christian civilization, the high
est and best the world ever saw.
