A sesso..s Thought.


And yet, though serious, 1t may be
profitable. Nigh on to quarter Of a
century ago--it was during the summer
OF 1861 occasionally attended week day
evening religious neutrality-suspicious.
meetings. We called them-in a small
church OH West Thirty-sixth street. New
York. The lesson Of one of those even
ings, with subsequent events, left an i'm
preston on my mind that can never be
dimmed while life and sense are left me.
A pale-cheekeh, hollow-faced man arose
In his place and offered few thoughts on
the subject of the value Of a faith, firm and
abiding. in q future life. He had but a
short time to live-he felt it keenly-but
he felt, also. that he was willing to go
when the tine should come. He closed
By saying that 1t would add to bis psace
and comfort IL he coal1 believe :liat he
had the prs SIS Of bis friends there present
In his behalf.
Next after him arose man whose
presence was ''thing of beauty. a man
not yet at middle age healthful and
robust !; with eyes bright and clear skin
like child's; cheeks plump and rosy ::
standing full six feet in height, and turn
Ing the scales at very near two hundred.
He was by trade builder and never
used tobacco nor ardent spirits : and. he
was Happy to declare, had never known
an hour of sickness in his life. His grip
was like iron, and his step as firm as the
broad-based mountain. can never forget
his opening words. Said he. with a
resyniied his seat:
1.-The words of the brother should be
needed by all of US. He is weak and all
ing am strong and well yet, who
shall say which OF us may be called first to
pass the shadowy vale 70 And then he
went on. IN plain and fiosuely language, to
give the lesson he would impress upon the
minds of those who heard him. And the
lesson was this ''Be ye therefore ready.
also for the. Son of Man conleth at an
hour when ys think not.'
On the even Of the very next DAY our
good pastor called upon rae, and informed
me that brother S. was dead. During
the early part of the day, while giving
directions to his workmen, and assisting
in laying the upper fioor-timbers d a
builfina he was erecting, he missed his
footing and fell to the cellar bottom, killing
him Instantly.
Aud he had been the strong, vigorous,
healthful man OF the preceding evening
the man who. though he had never known
an hour of sickness. yet Il o giis q having
hi b u.s. n readiness Andt faced,
hollow checked man waiting so patiently
the summons, | met, still clothed Ia the
flesh, ten years later.
No-the lesson OF that evening enforced
by the event of the following day, is not
to be forgotten. Nor would be willing
to forget it. Amid the. changetul scenes
of life-in joy and In sorrow-in success
and In adSersity-at all times, and always,
1t must be gratifying sense TO be able
to feel that '.our house IS in order, and
the spirit willing" for the grest transition.

many years it has been seriously shaken by

to "beware of coal gas, especially at this

will leak and the annually recurring stories
of persons smothered to death by coal gas
are now making their appearance in the

Rev. ID. X. Ncsbit, of the Hazelwood
Presbyterian church, TO lecture before the
Institute on Tuesday evening, December
2S, 1880. Mr.. Nesbit lectured in the
Court House on Christmas evening, 1879,
on "Shoddy." For good wit, fine humor
and good practical sense the lecture has
never been surpassed by any given in this
place. The lecture on the 29th will be free
and is on COLLECTIONS to Inhdelity." 1t is
not defense OF Christianity, but an attack
on inldelity. The lecture is an appeal to
history, logic and the rules of evidence,
shows how unreasonable are the demands
that inlidclity makes upon credulity. The
lecturer deals in argument and facts, and
uses with wonderful force and power the
weapons of humor and ridiculc. This
lecture was delivered before the Liberal
League of Pittsburg, and afterwards in
Library Hall in the same city, by request
of the Presbyterian Ministerial Associa-
ton, to an audience of more than three
thousand people.

"ThE STAR IN THE EAST Hero Is
something very pretty and interesting
about the attractions which will soon be
visible in the starry armament. We copy
il from the Altoona TriJune
Cassiopeia, which may be recognized by
zlgzag row Of five bright stars, shaped
like section Of rail fence overhead
about O'Clock, is particularly interesting,
because there Is reason 10 expect that the
wonderful flaming star Of 1872, called the
Pilgrim, will soon blaze out again in this
constellation. Tycho Brahe, the astrono-
rner, says that this star sprang forth in its
full splendor in II spot where he was sure
there was no star an hour before 1t was 50
bright as to be visible at MONDAY. In
1864 n new star appeared and disappeared
near the same place, and in 95j IA similar
phenomenon was observed. SO, If these
appearances are periodical, its return NAV
be looked for any time from now until 1890.
by calculating back ward it will be seen
that an appearance Of this star would be- due
about the beginning Of the Christian era.
and the astrolOgers of Tycho's time said
the new star was the same that the Magi
saw mt the birth Of Christ. So they pre-
dicted that the last judgment WAS ut hand
A temperance Of the Pilgrim in our day
