WHAT A GLASS OF WINE DID.-The Duke
Of Orleans was the eldest son of King Louis
PHILIPPE, and the inherit6r of whatever rights
his father could transmit. He was noble
young man-physically noble. His generous
qualities had made him universally popular.
One morning he invited few of his compan-
ions to breakfast, as lie was about to depart
from Paris to join his regiment. In the con-
viviality of the hour, he drank little too
much wine. He did not become intoxicated !;
he was not in any respect dissipated man.
His character was lofty and noble But in
that Joyous hour he drank just one glass too
much. In taking the parting glass he slightly
lost the balance of his body and mind. Bid
ding adeu to his companions, he entered his
carriage; but for that one glass of wine he
would have kept his seat. He leaped from
his carriage but for that one glass of wine he
would have alighted on his feet. His head
struck the pavement. Senseless and bleeding,
he was taken into beer shop near by and
died. That extra glass of wine overthreW the
Orleans dynasty, confscated their property OF
$1O0, 100000, and sent the whole family into
exile.-London Primitive Methodist
B Of all things, don't fall into the conven-
tional way of talking religion just as a rich
man jingles coin in his pocket. When l was
boy used to like to stand by those prosper
Gus men of big proportions, with their hands
down in their pockets this way-jingle. jingle,
jingle. see men rattling and jinging their
Christian experience everywhere, talking to
everybody just alike-"Well, my FRIEND how
is your soul to-day ?' 'What is the state of
your feelings to-day" 'How are you getting
along 2" "How is the Kingdom to-day ?"
All this is exceedingly distasteful to me. 1t
ought not to be 4 familiar matter. Stealing in
to person as the sweet wind Of summer, we
only know it is there by it's fragrance. Talk
to man from the feeling that seems deeper
than words; when the heavens seem to stretch
wider. Let that feeling radiate itself into
other people and God will bless it and give you
power.
sys Mediate long, mediate humbly on what
it is to have Creator, and comfort will come
at last. If broad daylight should never be
yours on this side the grave, he will hold your
feet in the twilight that they shall not Stun
ble and at last, with all the more love, and
all the more speed as well, he will fold you to
his bosom, who is himself the Light Eternal.

eg Nothing doth so establish the mind
amidst the rOllings and turbulency of present
things, as both look above them and look
beyond them above them, to the steady and
good hand by which they are ruled and be-
yond them, to the sweet and beautiful end to
which by that hand they shall be brought

Er Whatever you do, do it we'll. The slight
ing of task because it is apparently unim-
portant leads to habitual neglect, so that men
and women degenerate insensibly into bad
workers. Training the hand and eye to do
the work well leads persons to form correct
habits in other respects, and good workman
is, in most respects, good citizen
eay The sowing time may be a season Of dis
couragement; hard ploughing in breaking up
the fallOw ground, or perhaps wide scatter
ing of the precious seed of the kingdom by
the wayside, or among the thOrns or the rocks,
very little seeming to fall upon good ground
but sure stands the word Of the Lord, "He

@ Experience is the Lords school, and
they who are taught by Him usually learn by
the mistakes they make that they have no
wisdom, and by the slips and falls they meet
with that they have no strength.-John Ner-

az There is not a book on earth so favorable
to all the kind and sublime affections, or so
unfrendly to hatred and prosecutions, to
tyranny, injustice, and every sort of malevo-
lence, as is the gospel. 1t breathes through

@r Things of God that are marvellous are
to be believed on a principle of faith, not to
be pried into by reason. For if reason set
them open before our eyes, they would no
longer be marvellous.-S. Gregory.
sT What can be stronger motive to firm
trust and reliance on the mercies of our Ma
ker than the giving us his Son to suffer for
us-Addison.
