Died, January Goth, near ROckbridge Baths.
Va, ROBERT c. MCCowN, in the 10th year of
his age.
For more than two years he had been in de-
Ginning health and was a great sufferer. His
suferings too were of kind to exclude all hone
OF recovery. He knew we'll that he had no
prospect of release from suffering until death
should come and release him. Naturally of
tmorous disposition, he sometimes spoke des
Pondingly, almost ,querimoniOusly of his cOndi-
ton. But generally he was content to lie pas
sive in the hands Of God, and frequently spoke
with tender emotion of his trust in his divine
Saviour. The whole community in which he
lived, the church of which he was a useful and
exemplary member, and the many poor people
in the neighborhood to whom he was benefac-
tor have sustained heavy loss in his death
For genuine benevolence of heart, and incor
ruptible integrity and uprightness of life, he
was marked man in the community, and the
character given to the patriarch of w may,
without any violent stretch of language be
given to him. & He was perfect and upright, and
one that feared God, and eschewed evil"

in this city from youth to old age. He was
paralyzed about twelve months ago. His suf-
ferings in his last days were much mitigated bv
the loving kindness of his daughter Mrs. Dr.
Smith. While the outward man persisted the
inward was renewed day by day. He wrote
thus to friend, hold fast to my trust for sal

The Fatal Thirteen.

Concerning the superstition about
thirteen at table, | would suggest what
seems to me very plausible reason of
it being, namely, the fact that all table
articles, knives, forks, spoons, etc, are
purchased in dozens, which is enough
to establish the number twelve as a
suitable and agreeable limit to the num-
Der of persons to sit down at dinner
ordinarily. The presence of another
might be Il source of Inconvenience to
hostess, or annoyance to a guest, as
the former might be obliged to supply
for her table an odd and perhaps inte-
rior, knife, fork or spoon, or spoil the
unity of effect by adding Il common
piece of each sort to her beautiful, i'm
ported set of china. What better way
to prevent such mishap than to put
the objection into the form of super
stition And once started, genera
tiOns have helped to perpetuate it by
carefully storing in the memory all in
stances in confirmation thereof, but
taking no note of instances of the OPP
posite nature. Other instances might
be adduced to illustrate this calling i'll
of "sign" to preserve the general fit
ness of things, when from motives OF
delicacy or policy it is desirable to con-
ceal the true reason Correspondent

SeIf-ENaIIiiI.atiOn.

If Won will allow me for once to say
what think, writes Miss Newton, to
one who was distressing herself about
her hardness of hearth you will find
the greatest help in studying the
character of Christ, not your own.
Read the Gospels, to trace out-in every
miracle, and word, and act, and touch,
and in every step of the path He trod
what was his character, and how it
developed itself; and | think, with
the Spirits help, you will forget your
walk in thinking of His, and your emp
tiness in HIS fullness; and thus, seeing
as in "A glass the glory of the Lord, You
will be changed into the same image,
from glory to glory, even as by the
Lord the Spirit" | do think that Satan
binders Christians more by discourage
ing them, with showing them their
perpetual shortcomings and failures,
and their sad want of conformity to
Jesus, with all its sad results, than i'll
any other way; and | cannot help
feeling strongly, that in urging self
examination in the way so many good
men do, they really aid the mischief.
| like what M'Cheyne said, For every
look at yourself, take ten looks at
Christ = only | would double and treble
it, and almost say, "Never look at self
at all"
believe that it is when we are most
occupied with Christ that we are
most useful to others, however uncOn-
scious we may be of it, and however
conscious las, of course, we shall be
more than ever of our unlikeness to
Him.
cannot find a single instance in
which. either in the Gospels or Epistles,
Christians are taught, by exmple or by
precept, to make a study of their own
hearts. cannot help thinking that
inward experiences have far too much
taken the place of the study of Christ
and of the character of God, and that
this accounts in great measure fol
the low and Responding state of SC
very many Christians. Do you not

That Which DefiIeth.

Shining not only shows that a man
is bad inside, but it makes him worse
both inside and out. Indulgence in
sin increases sinfulness. You will often
hear man say, 81 might as well ont
with it. It's no worse to say it than to
think it, Poor foolish man It's Il
mighty sight worse to say it than to
think it. Indeed, just here is the diff
ference between the man who is IA sue
cess and the man who is failure in
his struggle with temptation. Every
man is tempted. He cOnquers, who
keeps back the sin to which he is
tempted. He is defeated, who says
and does the evil, to which Satan, or
his own lust, tempts him. And every
time you tout with it, i'll evil speech
or action, You have more of it inside,
and more of the marks of it outside
The man who "keeps it in" 10y prayer
full and faith filled struggle, grows in
soldierly bearing and in the signs OF
heroic doing. The man who let's it out,
proclaims his shame to the wOrld-as
well 10y the outward indications of it
in his face and form, as by the conduct
itself which is both disgraceful and
detiling. The way to have Il clean
heart is not by opening it, to let the
evil out but 10y keeping its doors fast,
while asking Him who has power To
make it clean to enter and purify its
every recess and avenue. - ii. &.
Trumbull, in ;. ;. Times.

When You See

A man enter a house or Office and sit
down slOuchingly with his hat on
A man standing to talk politics and
tell stories to take up the time of those
hired to work
A man moving around so slow that
an Ox-team funeral procession would
easily go by him
A man always late up, late to his
meals, and late to his work
A man who thinks about everything
else than his work
A man who waits for some one else
to take hold of stick of timber to be
raised
A man who is afraid that he will do
a little more than he is paid to do
A man who is never satisfied with
what he has, even when he cannot just
then get better
A man who is always trying to get
into an argument with his fellow work
men, to create ill-feeling and to con
sumo time that does not belong to the
wOrkmen, after they have sold it to an
employer
1t is safe to say that he will never
amount to much in this world Terre

The Parallels Of Our Lord.
From the Revised Version. !
THE TWO DEBTORS.

THE TWO DEBTORS.
And one of the Pharisees desired
him that he would eat with him. And
he entered into the Pharisee's house,
aud sat down to meat. And behold, IA
woman which was in the city, sin
ner: and when she knew that he was
sitting at meat in the Pharisee's house.
she brought an alabaster cruise of ONT
ment. and standing behind at his feet
weeping, she began to wet his feet with
her tears, and wiped them with the
hair of her head, and kissed his feet
and anointcd them with the ointment
Now when the Pharisee which had bid
den him saw it, he spake within HIM
self, saying, This man, if he were a
prophet, would have perceived who
and what manner of woman this Is
which tOucheth him, that she is sin
ner. And Jesus answering said unto
him, Simon, | have somewhat to say
unto thee. And he saith, Master, say
on. A certain lender had two debtors
the one owed five hundred pence,
and the other fifty. When they had
not wherewith to pay, he forgave them
both. Which of them therefore will
will love him most Simon answered
and said, He, suppose, to whom he
forgave the most. And he said unto
him, thou hast rightly judged. And
turning to the woman, he said unto
Simon, Seest thou this woman | en-
tered into thine house, thou gavest me
no water for my feet: but she hath
wetted my feet with her tears, and
wiped them with her hair. Thou gavest
me no kiss: but she, since the time
| came in, hath not ceased to kiss my
feet. My head with oil thou didst not
anoint: tut she hath anointed my
feet with ointment. Wherefore | say
unto thee, her sins which are many are
forgiven for she loved much but to
whom little is forgiven, the same low
eth little And he said unto her, Thy
sins are forgiven. Thy faith hath
saved thee, go i'll peace Luke 7:;'6-
10, 30.
