Gems of Thought.

A MAN may be said to know thor

RECLINING upon soft-cushioned seats
in the house of God, and listening, it
may be, to eloquent sermons, is not the
highest Christian service. Christ's life
was busy one, and is our example, to
be followed as closely as possible.
If men would become familiar with
the spirit, principles and manner of
Christ's life, and see what He did I'M
der similar circumstances to those in
which they are placed, they would not
so often belle their Christian profession!

Passing Opportunities.

Nor day passes, but you, reader,
have opportunities to do good, to do
some kind act, to relieve some one
from want, to make some one happy.
The children of want and the objects
of pity meet you wherever you 90.
Weeping eyes and aching hearts are
all around you. There goes a mother
through the piercing winds, pressing to
her bosom her shivering babe. See
how thinly she is clad! How thankful
she would be for that half-worn and
cast-off garment of yours There sits
an old man on the steps, stretching
out his skinny hand for help. He can
scarcely move his cold. stiff lips to tell
you what he wants. There is a little
child begging for bread. How do you
know but its mother is starving, while
you have plenty, and to spareP Stop a
moment and listen TO its piteous plea.
The poor" says the Savior, "ye
have with you always" Seek them out;
sit by their side; watch with them;
bring them flowers; carry them some
dainty dish; speak words of comfort to
them; sing of Heaven; talk of Jesus.
See that poor inebriate as he stands
looking into that beautiful cottage
yard which was his a year agoP
Is he wanting it back? No; not so
much as he wants his manhood. He
wants sympathy; he feels as though
his last friend had forsaken him, as
though no one on earth cares whether
he lives or dies. With your sympathy
to encourage him, with your strength
to lean upon, and with your counsel to
guide him, he may yet be saved. &C
to his rescue: take him by the hand;
call him brother; tell him you can trust
him; feel an interest in his welfare, and
manifest that interest both by words
and action.
Are you Christian? If so, improve
every favorable opportunity to recon-
mend the religion of Jesus. How often
have you passed by that group of idle
boys without noticing themp Stop and
speak to them. Invite them to the Sun

and lead them. Speak to them kind

Jules Verne.

JULES VERNE is about 50, with fine,
handsome head. Once a blonde, he
wears his beard full, and his hair is
curled in haphazard fashion. His
features are more than regular; they
are fine. His eye is bright, of clear
blue, brilliant and yet moist. His DOM
inant expression is sweetness, but firm
sweetness, like rosy steel, which does
not bend. His mouth, which says such
charming and clever things, says eyes"
and ''no" with the same smile. But
"yes " or "no," it is irrevocable. A
Breton, of Nantes, Jules Verne has kept
the religious traditions of Brittany, but
rather like painter who preserves the
impressions of his travels, than like a
child of the soil who would die for his
faith. He is at bottom more of skeptic
than D'Ennery. No one would stand
up more bravely for doctrine, but no
one would, a moment after, make a
more questionable speech. In politics
it is worse, for he never voted in his
life.
The son of lawyer, he came to Paris
to study law. His literary tastes led
him in another direction, but neverthe-
less he was admitted to the bar. He
then became secretary to M. Perrin,
who at that time had the double adj
ministration of the Opera Comique and
of the Theater Lyrique. After this he
followed the bent of his tastes more
freely. He contributed number of ar
ticles to the Musee DIES Families, and
about this time wrote piece in one act,
d" Des Pailles Rompus,' with which
Alexandra Dumas was connected, for it
was he who had it produced at the
Theater Historique, and it was he who
bought the first copy after it was print
ed. After an experience in the stock
market, being still in love with litera-
ture, Verne published his first book,
Five Weeks in Balloon" 1t went
off like hot cakes, though it was only
trial. But the success was so great
that it appeared to Hetzel that here was
a new road to literature which deserved
to be followed up. He made an en-
gagement with Verne for twenty years
on what then appeared splendid terms,
but which have since made the fortune
of the lucky editor. After the publica-
ton of "Five Weeks in Balloon" he
announced to his friends one fine MORN
ing that he was about to get married,
and then disappeared. 1t was the only
sign of life that his wife has ever given.
Since then he has led the same life of
study, of travel, and of interminable
production. He passes his life between
Paris and Amiens, where he has a
splendid house, when he is not explor-
ing somewhere or other on his famous
boat, the Saint-Michel, on which most
of his stories are written. As for the
rest, he is the most charming man i'm
aginable, modestly earning his 100000
francs year, to say nothing of the great
fortune the stage seems to promise him.

the Jews, but he has made use of them
as occasion has offered from time to

The current reports that the marriage
of Mr.. Bartlett and the Baroness Bur-
dett-Coutts will not take place are now
said to be wholly unfounded. The
Baroness's intimate friends say she is
fully resolved to complete the alliance,
regardless of peclniary loss. The Bar
'oness lately told peer that judicial
decision on her money matters may
eventually come before him, being re-
solved, though Indifferent to wealth, to
maintain what she believes to be her
rights, and carry the proceedings to the
House of Lords for final decision. 1t
is estimated that her remaining yearly
income, after al adverse decision, would
be 100000.

Christian Honesty.

IT is grateful service, always, to
publish the example of a man who rev.
erences the Ten Commandments, and
finds his highest pleasure in doing right.
Early in the year 1879, a well-known
manufacturer in the city of New York
found himself obliged to suspend bust
ness and make an assignment of his
property to his creditors. 1t was what
is called in common language "a fail
ure." But the manufacturer, who was
an honest man and Christian man, did
not "faiP' in order to "make money"
He stopped where he did for the sake
of doing the best he could for his cred
itors.
Everybody had confidence in the
good man, and when his creditors met,
the nearest thing to criticism was a
mild suggestion from some of them
that perhaps he was too ktnd-hearted.
Was it wise to offer such liberal reduc-
tons to poor purchasers as he had been
doingP And had he not better discon-
tinue it as hazardous practice?
Gentlemen" said he, "ifit must be
made condition that | have no poor
customer list, and be denied that liberty
of accommodation and kindness, can
not go on"
The objection was withdrawn, and
the creditors cheerfully made terms
with him by which he was allowed to
continue his business in his own way.
At first he sold and traded only as
an agent, and four months after his
assignment, with, the aid of friend
who advanced him money, he opened a
new store. In little more than six
months his business was once more in
his own name, and with returning pros
perity he began, true to his high princi-
pies, to pay the men he owed. His
creditors had released him, and he was
no longer legally bound, but for man
who feared God, to know what was
right was sufficient reason for doing it,
In less than ayear-and long before his
assignee bad closed accounts with the
preferred creditors-the honest mer-
chant had paid over to the rest whose
debts had not been secured, and whom
no law compelled him to pay, the last
dollar that he oUed them.
So noble transaction excited much
admiring comment, and one New York
religious paper went so far as to say,
''Not one man in a million would have
done such thing" The proportion
of upright people in the world is, we
believe, much larger than that, but
were it thousand times larger, the
fact would not dim the luster of this
mans example. YOUTHS Companion.

How Sam Houston was Admitted to
the Bar.

BOWER MILLER, a man of adj
mirable character and education,
when he had concluded his legal
studies, decided to establish himself in
Tennessee. 1t was soon after the war
of 1S12-14, says correspondent of the
New Orleans PscGyu'ae, and in visiting
the Circuit Judges to obtain their GER
tificate of professional qualification, he
fell in with Sam Houston, fresh from
the campaigns of Alabama and else
where in the Gulf States, in which he
had accompanied General Jackson, and
who had determined to adopt the pro-
fession of law. The young men were at
once confidential, and Houston frankly
avowed his own educational deficiencies
and limited opportunity of qualifying
himself, occupied as he had been for
the few years preceding in the excite
ments OF the war.
"Miller," said he, 81 shall tell the
Judges that they needn't expect much
learning from me. We shall be exam
ined at the same time. If a question of
difficulty is asked don't be bashful; an
swer it. Leave those that are more
easy to me. am not at all jealous. :"
Miller, who was very well qualified,
was amused, and promised to do any,
thing in his power to aid him.
Arriving at the residence of the first
Judge this agreement was kept up.
Houston invariably introduced the ex-
animation by narrative of something
connected with the war, and with a ioc-
ular admission of his own difficulties in
pursuing his legal theories. A question
having been asked upon the abtruse
common law doctrine of executory de-
crees and contingent remanders, Mr..
Miller modestly repeated the exposition
of his authorities, and the Judge ampli-
fed the reply with remarks upon the
channel of judicial decisions.
We are not to suppose that the exam
nations were very technical or strict. At
a succeeding examination, however,
Houston in reply to a question upon the
same subject took up the reply and re-
peated the information he had acquired,
and when they called on the last Judge,
/ Houston observed that the two preceding
examinations must have been satisfac-
tory, and Judge White gave his sigma
ture and made the young men stay all
night.
Within two years from that time
Houston had been elected either as State
or District Attorney, while Miller, dis
couraged at the prospect of professional
! success, returned to Virginia.

RDMUNDS' STATESMANSHIP

That is a wound that had better not
be torn open, now that it is scared
over. Senator Vest (Democrat, Of

Vest said "The foul lips of the assas.

for Democratic success, but the invo

party. He charged no one, but the
insinuation that the Democrats of the
country had anything but tears for the

and execration for the miserable assas

contended, IN the course of further re
