Pastor Johnson,s Sermon.

1t is sad truth that people are apt
to give to the church what they can
spare as well as not, and then regard
themselves as very liberal. There are
still others who too closely resemble the
little girl who told her mother that the
contribation-box was passed to her and
that there was lots of money in it, but
she didn't take any out, expecting to be
praised for her self-denial. This is a
negative kind Of Christianity, which
does little credit to the worshiper.
Rev. Plato Johnson seems to have met
this crisis in a recent sermon, and,
though his language is not particularly
choice, his ideas are very clear. He
said, at the conclusion of an eloquent
sermon, Brederen, de plate will now
pass aroun', an has word to say on
de 'portant subjeck ov givin'. De
peoples wat puts bone buttons and lead
nickels inter de plate may pass for orful
free givers 'mongst der SINNERS,
but dey can't cheat de Lord. l want
to press on your minds dat fact-dey
can't cheat de Lord. When de Lord
said He liked q cheerful giver, He
didn't hab his eyes on dat sort OBJ trash.
You can put dis down as sartin shore
thing, brederen, dat dose wat gibs de
chu'ch wat dey has no use fur them
selves won't git no free pass inter glory.
In de day OBJ Judgment de Lord will
say to SIGH men, l don't know you
bone-button fellers; go sit on de back
seats, quick Now, den, pass de plates.

Reorganization OF the Russian Army.

An imperial ukase just issued from
st. Petersburg orders that the Russian
army shall undergo an important trans
formation. There are in Russia 14O
regiments of infantry, each consisting
of three battalions, subdivided into FIVE
companies. Now each regiment is to
consist of forr battalions, subdivided
into four companies. This measure in
creases the Russian army by 1000 men
in time of peace, and by 100, 900 men in
time of war. The reorganization of the
army is to begin at once, and must be
pushed on rapidly.-Paris Soleil.

The First Nihilists.

The first Nihilist societies were
formed by Russian students about the
year 1859, and the doctrines they adopt
ed were chiefly derived from book
which is not generally supposed to have
any Nihilist tendencies, Buchner's
Force and Matter" The circulation
of this work in Russia was forbidden by
the Government, but it was secretly in
troduced into the country, and read
with avldity by the Russian youth, to-
gether with another German work, by
Max Stirner, called Property and the
Individual" which had also fallen I'M
der the ban of Russian censors. Out of
these two books, the former of which
preached materialism and the latter So
cialism, the Russians evolved the doc
trine of Nihilism, which they also pro-
fessed to find in other popular works,
notably Buckles History of Civiliza-
ton" The new Nihilist societies were
formed among the students of the Agri
cultural College Of Petrovski, near Mos
COW. The Government treated the stu
dents with extreme severity; many in
nocent young men were confined in
prison for many years without trial, and
It was at this time that Vera Sassulitch,
who was then ID years old, was impris-
oned with her brother for three years.
After the Fran CO. German war the Nj
hilists adopted the Panslavist cause, and
thereby gained certain amount of pop
ularity, but the acquittal of Vera Sassu-
Itch again directed their attention to
home affairs. They turned round upon
their prosecutors and threatened them
with death, believing that Russian So
ciety would hail them as its saviors if
they should succeed in destroying the
bureaucracy that letters it.

ONE JUNE MORNING.

Am thinking now Of time. my friend
How many summers agof
In the mornings dewy prime, my rienu
The June's young glow;
That morn when ana tue gir tnat uioo'
Happy hearted, tender-eyed,
Sat side by side, sat side by siue,
And whispered low.
Oh those young June daysl
God never made aught 30 rare;
Glamour of silvrrn haze,
Fragrance in earth ana arr
Each bird fountain OF praise,
Each flower prayer.
And those hearts OF ours. those hearts OF oursl
They were gladder than birds, they we're sweete'
than flowers;
God looked not down that summer day
On aught 30 tender and pure AZ they.
o~r her work my darling bent,
Lowly. lowly;
Waited while the minutes went
Slowly, slowly.
All she knew lovea her we'll
Knew had tale to tell
In her pinky ear.
Why, an why. are lovers shy,
When maidens wait with downcast ego,
And none is neari
All. yes there was not thing but knew;
The harebell tnkled it's bell of blue,
And looked away;
But the saucy thrush on the bough that swung,
Boldly he stared, and archly sung,
And babbled the tale with wanton tongue
To every bird on the spray.
At length they came, word or two
Simple words
Which none o'e heard but a bird or two
Flowers and birds.
slowly my darling raised her head;
Never word the sweet lips said,
But flower cheeks blossomed ripper red,
And the lashes were bright and a-tremble with
tears,
AS two young souls in long kiss met
A kiss whose melody haunts me yet
Through all the years.
And then, from his nest hard by,
lark upsprung,
Andquivered into the sky,
Aud sung and Sung.
The noisiest babbler held his breath,
And the wind and the trees stood still as death,
10 list to the rapture deep and strong,
OF that skylark's song.
All me, that strain. that traneed straini
1t shivered and died and shriled again,
In yearning, and bliss, and exquisite pain;
1t pierced my heart. it stung my brain,
1t walked the tears like summer rain,
1t made me long to die;
Her hand to the last held fond and fast,
And my rapt face turned to the sky.
Iheard the lark sing yesterday.
From his grassy nest hard by;
He quivered away in the morning gray,
And lost himself in the sky.
He sang once more that sef-same air;
But, all for the rapture the vast despair,
The passionate pain! 1T had passed from there;
His heart and dry.
He never will sing again, an no!
As he sung in that summer of long ago,
For the world grows old, grows old. my friend,
And the Junes have turned cold, my friend,
And there fingers a smell of mold, my friend,
And rotting leaves;
And he thinks of those days of gold, my friend,
And grieves and grieves.
An, never again will he sing such a strain
OF passionate strt myth and glow.
AS the strain he sung when we both were young
How many summers agoy
As the strain he sung in the blithe June-tide,
When and my darling sat side by side,
/ and the dear little heart that died
How msny summers ago!
All, fifty summers ago my friend,
Fifty summers ago

body and legs were regularly formed,
but the Geek was perfectly round and
fully as large as the head. The nose
and upper jaw were split clear through,
and the tongue, which was sharp like
that of snake, protruded up through
the opening. The eyes, large and fat,
looked straight up, while the top of the
head and nose were nearly on line.
The under jaw was apparently without
jowles and was little more than con
tinuation of the neck. It was unable
to stand, but would get upon its knees
and wave its head and dart it's tongue
out like snake. 1t also attempted to
crawl, and, when lying down, showed
many characteristics of the serpent.
