A Devoted Mother.

During the prevalence of the plague in
Italy poor woman living in the village of
Careggi, the wife of a laborer, and the
mother of two little boys, felt herself at
tackled by the fatal disease. II was during
the absence of her husband, who worked at
distance and only returned on the Satur-
day night Frightened by the example of
neighboring family which had one after
another been entirely swept off, and moved
by the fondest love for her children, she de
termined not to communicate the disease TO
them, and formed the heroic resolution of
Leaving her home aud going elsewhere to die.
Having locked them in room, and sacri-
feed to their safety even the last sole com
fort of parting embrace, she ran down
stairs, carrying with her the sheets and cov-
erlet, that she might leave no means of con-
tagion. She then shut the door with sigh,
aud went away, but the Oldest of the chill
dren, hearing the door shut, went TO the
window, and cried out "Good bye, mother"
in voice so tender that she turned and
stopped. Goodbye, mother" repeated the
youngest child, stretching its little head out
of the window. Thus the afflicted mother
was compelled, for a time to endure the
dreadful conflict between the yearnings
which called her back and the pity and love
which urged her on. At length the latter
conquered, and amid flood of tears, and
the farewells of her children, who knew not
the fatal cause and meaning of those tears,
she reached the house of those who were to
bury her To them she recommended her
husband and children, and in two days had
ceased to exist. How great is the love of a
mother for her children, and how obedient
and kind should children be to their mother,
to repay her for her sacrificing love.

Family Feeling In the Church.

A pastor whose congregation is, happily,
made up of rich and poor, remarked of late
that the prevailing feeling among them
seemed to be that of family. There
is certainly no more beautiful conception
touching community of Delivers than that
Of "the household of faith" "the house
hold of God" etc.; but how rare to fnd
this family feeling in the church The want
of sympathy between the rich and poor, the
rivalry and estrangement among the richer
sort, the general indifference to strangers,
not to say indifference to everybody outside
of favored circle the spirit of faction
which not unfrequently divides church
into wranging members and hostile camps
but too often make the family feeling in the
church about the last thing to be found,
not to say the last to be hoped for BY so
much the church is a sad perversion, equally
unattractive and unenjoyable. There is
many church in which things are so un-
congenial and discordant, or at least so cold
and repelling, that many Christian finds
in it nothing whatever answering to home
life. Not few have been driven almost to
sheer unbelief because the disagreement of
saints appears to be so much greater than
their communion. At this moment the
church at large needs to cultivate nothing
so much as that spirit of household which
makes Christians feel at home. Seeing
there are ten thousand reasons for which
they fly from the world and become allied
to the church, it is hardly less than a crime
when, not without reason, they are so dis
appointed in the church that they are ever
and again tempted to go back to the world

Care for the Bows.

Fathers and mothers, are you caring for
the boys 7 | do not mean, do you buy food
and clothes, but are you caring for them
that they shall develop into manly and good
men Care for them spiritually. Teach
them the religion of Jesus. Talk this over
with them familiarly. "As thou liest down
aud as thou riseth up" the good book says.
Are they attending school, preparing as you
hope, for fields of future usefulness Go
aud visit the school, Show that you take
an interest in all that your boy does The
boys say, Father don't care ii he did he
would take pains TO see what we are about"
Interest yourself in their recreations. Make
home pleasant to them. Do not by con-
tinued fretting and bringing up their short
comings, drive them into the street, to find
pleasure in the company of other young
men, who have escaped from home restraint,
and who will do as much as lies in them to
ruin all who are thrown under their in1u-
ence.-Church Union.

A Good EXperieDce.

God knows me better than know myself.
He knows my gifts and powers, my failings
aud my weaknesses, what can do and not
do. So desire to be led, to follow him {;
and am quite sure that he has thus enabled
me to do a great deal more in ways which
seem to me almost waste in life, in ad-
vancing his kingom, than could have done
in any other way. | am sure of that In
tellectually am weak in scholarship moth
ing; in thousand things baby. He
knows this, and so he has led me, and greatly
blessed me, who am nobody, to be some use
to my church and fellow-men. How kind,
how good, how compassionate art thou, o
God o my Father, keep me humble Help
me to have respect toward my fellow.men,
to recognize these several gifts as from thee.
Deliver me from the diabolical sins of NAL
ice, envy, or jealousy, and give me hearty
joy in my brothers work. in his gifts and
talents, and may be truly glad in his su-
periority to myself, if God be glorifed.
Root out all weak vanity, all devilish pride,
all that is abhorrent to the mind of Christ.
God, hear my prayer Grant me the won.
drous joy of humility, which is seeing thee
as all in all.-Dr. Norman's IfcLeod's Diary.

A Common.Sense Sermon.


There is a little sermon in colored English,
but full of common sense for that class of
people who feel that Dame Nature insulted
them when she refused to allow them to be
born rich. Even the hen has to scratch for
the worm, but these people expect the worm
to crawl within reach and then ask for the
privilege of being eaten. "My friends"
said Plato johnson, in one of his oratorical
moods, " de worl am so constertuted dat
vile dar am Jest bout huff fur everybody
who is willin' to work, dar amt a morsel
left for de man who sits under de trees, an
spects de apples to drop into his mouf. Now,
Use studied apples all my days an never
knew one dat wouldn't hang on to de limb
until it was shook down-dat is, OBJ course,
sound, sensible apple. Don't stan roun' de
corner OBJ de street wild de wild expectation
dat de man who Ibis dar is goin' to come out
on de cold sidewalk an ask you to be his
son-in-aw. I've seen many a man loafn
roun' de Forty-second street depot as though
he felt sure dat if he stayed dar long 'nuff,
Mr.. Vanderbilt would come out and offer
him check for 81 100000 an say Young
man, take dis small pile an be happy No,
de better way am TO git your eye fixed on
somethin' an den keep movin', keep movin'.
