1t was time Of spiritual awakening in
small manufacturing town. The foreman in
department became anxious about his sal
vation. He was directed to Christ as the
sinners only refuge, by many, and by his
own master among the rest but /. seemed
to be without result. At last his master
thought of reaching his mind, and bringing
him to see the sincerity of God in the gos-
pei, by writing him note asking him to
come and see him at six o'clock after he left
:" the works." lie came promptly, with the
letter in his hand. When ushered into the
room, his master inquired ado you wish TO
see me, James2" James was confounded,
and holding up the note requesting him to
come said "The letter; the letter" "Oh,"
said his master, II see you believed that
wanted to zee you, and when | sent you
that message you came at once" "Surely,
sir, surely, sir" replied James. "Well, see,
here is another letter sent To you by one
equally in earnest said his master, holding
up a slip Of paper, with some texts OF scrip
ture written on it. James took the paper
and began to read slowly. Come-unto-
me-all-ye-that-labor," 60. His lips

ises his God that he will unite earthly pur-
suits and ambitions with heavenly ambitions
and pursuits, saying, al will never sever
my connection with heaven. My ladder
shall stand on the ground, but its top shall
never come down from the heavenly rest"
That is not your planning. It were wise IL
it were. o, the wantonness and the shame
Of those who early essay TO dispossess life Of
its moral restraints and its influences. There
may be many who make use of their first
liberty TO escape from home and to disown
the inspiration which they consider supersti-
tion TO cast off the bands that hold them
back from vice. They amt going to be
tied to their father and mother by leading
strings any longer. They assert their lib
erty, supposing that liberty and license are
one and the same thing. They mean TO un-
derstand more of life. As If knowledge
of life were to be found by groveling in its
low animal desires and pursuits As If a
man should seek himself, by going toward
the lion, the OK, the hog, the beast of the
field There are some who suppose that
knowledge is increased by knowing some
thing of the morbid conditions of life. But
blessed are they whose first vision is of
angels when they go away from their fathers
and mothers house, and know that it is a
vision of angels, and accept it as SUCH

Advice TO a Young Man.

And then, remember, my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle pick or pen,
wheelbarrow or set of books, digging
bitches or editing paper, ringing an auc-
lion bell or writing funny things, you must
work. If you will look around you, son,
you will see that the men who are most able
10 live the rest of their days without work
are the men who work the hardest. Don't
be afraid of killing yourself with overwork,
son. 1t is beyond your power to do that
Men can not work so hard as that on the
sunny side of thirty. They die sometimes
but it's because they quit work at six P. NJ
and dou't get home until two A. NJ. It's the
interval that kills, my son. The work gives
an appetite for your meals, it lends solidity
to your slumber, it gives you a perfect and
grateful appreciation of holiday. There
are young men who do not work, my son
hut the world is not proud of them. 1t does
not know their names, even it simply speaks
of them as old so.and-so's boys. Nobody
likes them, nobody hates them; the great
busy world doesn't even know that they are
there. So find. out what you want to be aud
TO do, son, and take OFF your coat aud make
a dust in the world. The buster you are
the less mischief you will be apt to get into
the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter
and happier your holidays, and the bet
ter satisfied will the world be with you.-
Selected.

Who Told the Blrdl

certain young man in the city of New
York was put in sole possession of large
fortune by the death of both his parents.
They had not given him religious training,
and when temptations and batteries sur
rounded him he easily drifted into vice, for
he had no anchorage of principle to hold
him. He became the companion of fools,
and used his loose knowledge of sacred
names and things to help their ridicule and
harden his own moral sensibility. They
said there was no God and he thought he
believed it, and he acted as he thought. His
scorn of the gospel of Jesus Christ became
open and boastful, and the faith and pious
affections of devout souls were daily sub
jacts of his abuse aud derision. The young
atheist was not happy-aud none can be
who cast off the fear of God and despise re-
straint. In lucid moments of his dissipated
life he could see that he was surrounded by
false friends who would leave him as soon
as his money was gone. He collected the
remnant of his fortune and emigrated to
South America, intending to divert himself
with travel and adventure. One Sabbath
day, while out with his gun in the forest, he
sat down on log 10 rest himself and look
about him. His search for game had been
unsuccessful, and he was tired. Suddenly
lilt SCltdtlb VI ulstltSstu plIu otuitich
him, and in neighboring tree he soon
saw the cause of the trouble. A venomous
snake was slowly crawling up the trunk of
the tree, and the bird was fiuttering and cry
ing over her nest in an agony of terror
for her young. Before the snake had
climbed halfway up the tree, the birds
mate arrived with spray or twig of green
leaves in his bill. He laid this carefully
over the nest, and then both flew into the
highest branches, and perched there, look
ing and waiting. The snake continued TO
ascend, aud gliding along the limb that held
the nest lifted its head to seize its prey. But
as soon as 1t saw the twig upon the nest 1t
shrank back as if hurt, and writhing its
ugly body about, ran rapidly down the tree.
The young man was deeply affected by
what he had seen. Evidently that twig had
been broken from some bush that was ter
ror TO serpents-but who told the bird its
peculiar virtue Who gave him the wis.
dom to pluck and fetch it in time to save
the little family in the nest a? He climbed
and got the curious twig, and went away
astonished and disturbed Aud the thought
that disturbed him was the answer TO his
own question. None but the almighty God
could have taught that helpless bird its own
defense. When he learned indeed that the
twig was from plant that no serpent ever
approached, his sense OF awe, in presence OF
the power that rules nature as well as man,
was increased. 1t was power he no longer
dared to defy or deny. lie gave up his un-
belief and became sincere worshper. Some
time afterwards, gentleman who had
known the infdel in New York met him,
during visit to South America, and was
astonished to find him Christian. The ac-
count of his change, as Just related, he gath
cred from the young mans own lips.-Rep.

Late Discoveries In NineYeh.

Judge Daily, in his recent annual address
before the American Geographical Society,
said Z" Fresh discoveries of the cuneiform
inscriptions at Nineveh have revealed the
fact that the ancient Assyrians were ac-
quainted with the existence of spots on the
sun, which they could only have known by
the aid of telescopes. These it is supposed
they possessed. Mr.. Lsyard found crys-
talline lens in the ruins Of Nineveh. The
Assyrian Cyclopedia, imprinted on bricks,
was an exhaustive work. The inscriptions
on these bricks, on being deciphered, dis
closed that houses and lands were sold,
leased and mortgsged, that money was
loaned at interest, and that the market gar.
deners, TO use an American phrase, worked
on shares; that the farmer when plowing
with his oxen. beguied his labor with short
and homely songs, two of which have been
found and to connect this very remote civ
il'zation of 1000 b. C. with the usages Of
to-day, the chief justice in conclusion, re-
ferred TO one of the bricks of this library, in
the form of a notice, which was to the eff
iect that visitors were requested TO give TO
the librarian the number of the book they
wished 10 consult, and that it would be
brought TO them at the perusal of which,
his honor said, one was disposed 10 fall back
upon the exclamation of Solomon that there
was nothing new under the sum-

The yulgarity Of Extravaganza.

Extravaganza is always vulgarizing. The
tendency of the time in which sensuous
pleasures dominate is inevitably downward
in respect to manners, morals and real re-
fineinent. The painted, gilded, art-decorated,
,nd notwithstanding social extravaganza OF
The present time has nothing to commend it
nut the poor plea that "it makes business
for somebody, and keeps money in circula-
tion." But the evil influence of such an un-
natural condition of things far outweigbs
this doubtful good. Example leads to uni
versal imitation. The millionaire who os
tentatiously orders priceless Johannisberger
At his club will be infallibly, though re-
Inotely, initiated by somebody who is very
far from being a millionaire. He. was a
well-intentioned Cresus, who, hearing one
If the jeunesse doree propose great piece Of
extravagance, promptly said " cannot af-
ford to Join in it," But aside from the ma
lgn influence Of example, the vulgar prodi-
gality of the time is destroying all the finer
graces of life. Ostentation and display are
fatal to the social virtues. There can be
no sweet home life, no sacred domesticity,
no rational comfort, in family which has
once been invaded by the desire to shine,
and outshine in society. When the demon
of social discomfort comes in at the door OF
brown-stone front, all the better angels of
our nature fly out of the attic windows. The
grace and beauty OF life are gone forever

Tell Your Mother.

wonder how many girls tell their moth
ers everything Not those "young ladies', -
who going TO and from school, smile, bow
and exchange notes and pictures with young
men who make fun of them aud their pictures,
speaking in a way that would make their
cheeks burn with shame If they heard it..
All this, most credulous and romantic young
ladies', they will do, although they will gaze
at your fresh young faces admiringly, and
send or give you charming verses or bou-
quets. No matter what "other girls do"
don't you do it. Schoolgirl Airtations may
end disastrously, as many foolish, wretched
young girl could tell you. Your yearning
Tor some one TO love is great need of every
woman's heart. But there is time for
everything. Don't let the bloom and fresh
ness of your heart be brushed off in silly
firtations. Render yourself truly intelligent.
And above all, tell your mother everything.
Never be ashamed TO tell her, who should be
your best friend and confdante, all you think
and feel II is strange that many young
girls will tell every person before mother
that which it is most important that she
should know. 1t is sad that indisfere per-
sons should know more about her fair young
daughter than she does herself. Fanny

To Young Men.

Young men, let me say word to you
about the beginning OF your plans in life
There are two ways opening up before
every one Of you. One lies literally along
the surface of the earth. The other rests
on earth, but reaches toward heaven. Either
Of them may include worldly prosperity.
One makes the whole experience earthly.
The other while it gives man the posses
sion OF earthly joys, makes these the germs
of higher aud nobler ones. Now, there are
