Beecher on Gallows Gush,

In his last Sundays discourse,
Mr.. Beecher said: "If there is one
thing l consider thoroughly indie
cent, it is the way in which crimi
nails are cossetted and carried out
of life. When a murderer is to be
hanged, women send flowers to him
and would kiss an ulcer for his sake.
Priests run TO him and philanthro-
pists hurry after them. He is going
TO die. Are not 10000 persons dy-
ing all around, and there is nobody
to run to them? There is no sym
pathy for them. But if the monster
is 20 die for foul murder the food

See Here, Young Man.

Many of the young men nova
days who are looking around for "a
job" want something soft and easy.
With snappy abbreviation they cali
the situation" they seek a "sit, :"
and that is exactly the size of their
aspirations. They speak wiser
THAI they know. To sit down
somewhere woHld of all things suit
them best. While there is one
earnest man eager for honest solid
work, you will find a dozen who
propose 70 give the minimum of Ia
Dor tor the maximum of pay. The
dignity of drudgery, the heroism of
toiling at a task, the chiyalry which
prompts one 20 do a mans work,
are conceptions that by no means
enter as they ought Into the plans
of life current among the "rising
generation"

THE FOUR CALLS.

The Spirit came in childhood,
And pleaded: "Let me I'M"
But ahl the door was bolted,
By thoughtlessness in sin.
The child said. "1'm too young yet;
There's time enough; to-day
cannot open." Sadly
The Spirit went his way!
Again he came, and pleaded,
In youths bright happy hour;
He called but heard no answer;
For, lured by satan's power,
The youth lay dreaming idly,
Ard saying, mot to-day;
Not till I've tried earth's pleasures"
Again he turned swSyl
Again he came in mercy,
In manhood's vigorous prime;
But still he found no welcome;
The merchant "had no time"
No time for true repentance;
No time to think and pray;
And so, repulsed and saddened,
The Spirit turned awayl
Once more he called and waited,
The man was old and i'll;
He scarcely heard the whisper;
His heart was cold and chill.
"Go; leave me; when l need thee,
I'll call for thee" he cried;
Then, sinking on his pillow,
Without n hope he died.

church and no Sunday-school; the
general morals of the community
we're not the best, and there was q
dark tinge of skepticism upon the
current thought of leading men in
the community. At that time the
beautiful little village, nesting on
the banks of Elk river, which wa
ters one of the finest bodies of land
in North America, was detached
from classic old "Richland," and
set up as q station. Rev. p. A.
Sowell was appointed to organize
the new station and set it going.
He did his work wisely and well.
Then followed the Rev. r. e. Travis,
who took in the situation at a
glance and pushed the enterprise,
so well begun, vigorously forward.
A great revival crowned his labors
at the close of his year. Weakley
followed Travis-the Rev. w. Weak
ley, who has recently become ben
edict. He took charge of Elkton
station October, 1878, and has con-
tinued there ever since. He has
reared the superstructure beautiful
ly and gracefully upon the founda-
tion of his worthy predecessors;
and is now about to raise the cap
stone to its place in the form of 3
handsome and comfortable parson-
age. In four years Elkton has risen
from a third rate appointment of
the circuit of which it was a part,
through all the gFadations of sin
gle mans station, to the position
of a married mans station, with
provision to take care of the
preachers family as well as him
self. The church in that station
numbers ninety-four against thirty
at the organization of the station,
and has a Sunday-school of eighty
nine members against no Sunday
school then; and the station pays
all current expenses annually. l

Quarterly Conference two consecu
tive years, and it invariably paid

1t still observes the habit of its in
fancy, and balances the books on
all accounts every year. This is
progress, and creditable alike to
pastors and people. Weskley is
such only in name. AS a working
force and successful pastor his
name would be better expressed

The man who manufactured ta-
bles that always"groan"w when heav
lily ladened with luxuries," died a
few days since. Now if all of his
tables were destroyed tie public
would be treated to new way of
telling about big eating occasions.
We hope to live to see the day
when the last one of his tables will
fall to pieces. We are glad the old
man is dead. He died gnswing a
bone. Thank the Lord for bones.

The newspaper advertisement is a

worked out in pure and snowy marble
and erected by loving hearts over the

Die works of Mr. Baird. this week we
were struck with the vast advances
made in the skill and good taste over
what was thought TO be good and ap-
propriate few years since. Here was
large variety of designs. each har-
moniously proportioned, skillfully e1.
ecuted and strikingly appropriate.
Some of the larger monuments and col
umns are exquisite works of arts and
yet come within the means of almost
any family desirou, of suitably perpet-
Mating the memory Of the dead. Mr..
Baird has achieved. through the years
of experience a perfect knowledge of
the business in all its details, and pur-
chasing materials directly from the
