Buried Talents.

The man who hid his Lords talent,
instead of using it, is no phenomenal
character. Such people unhappily
abound in our churches. The do-noth-
ings are in excess everywhere. That
large numbers can at-the hest accom-
plish but little may be conceded, but
that little is not attempted is lamentably
apparent. In large churches the enigma
constantly presents itself of what would
come to pass were some half dozen peo-
pie to be withdrawn from active effort.
There is n disposition undoubtedly to
speak slightly of small abilities, but
zone talent" if wisely used may help
to render important service. 1t is To
combined efforts that we owe the grand
est works in the world One man may
make comparatively few bricks, but
they can not be dispensed with in the
mighty etiifice. The duty of every man
is to find out what he has abilities for
and use them TO that end. With an
earnest purpose to glorify God there is
niche for every one. There may be
work as a teacher, orthc conservation
of social influence or the simple mani
festation of the graces of Christian
character. 1t is declared by Christ that
His disciples are witnesses for Him,
light, salt. Now, a witness is to tes-
tify, salt is to commingle with and per-
meate the mass in which it is placed.
light is to Danish darkness. The ancient
curse on Nero for doing nothing may
rest on men now. u Still the Bible reads:
''WOe to them that are ut ease in Zion. :"
1t is to be feared that the great.reason
why more is not attempted for Christ is
our want of faith. We are doubtful of
our own power to work. and, worse
than this, doubtful of our Lords will
ingness to bless our efforts. If we
could attain to Papl's standing: Il can
do all things through Christ which
strengthened me, we should not allow
our power to be untried or rust With
the. gracious promises which our Lord
has made of blessing and success there
is no excuse for inactivity.-Baptist
Heekty.

Henry Willard.

The Cleveland Herald gives sketch of
the life of Henry Willard, who has recently
become prominent as leader among rail-
road managers He is a native OF Speyer-
on-the- Rhine, and came to this country In
1858. He went first TO Illinois, studied law,
and was admitted to practice. Leaving the
law practice he became connected with the
Cincinnati Commercial as correspondent,
and he reported the famous Lincoln-Doug-
las campaign in 1858. Subsequently he
went to the Colorado gold regions, and wrote
letters to the Commercial. During the sum-
far as it was accessible at that time-a part
of the time in company with Horace Gree
ley and Albert D. Richardson. He made
two trips to the Mississippi river, and on
finally leaving Colorado, started late in No
yember with party on horseback for the
East.
for the Presidency in 1850, Frederick Hud-
son, the managing editor Of the New York
Herald, learning of Mr.. Wizards acquain-
tance with Mr.. Lincoln, engaged him to re-
main In Springfield as a special correspond
ent. Under the rules of the associated press
his accounts were sent to the press of the
country. He accompanied Mr.. Lincoln
much of the way TO the Capital, and left the
party TO go 10 New York, wnere he remained
but few days, when he went t. Washing
ton and became correspondent for Eastern
and Western newspapers.
Mr.. Willard commenced his railway expe-
riebce as receiver of the Kansas Pacific Rail-
way, in conjunction with @. S. Greeley.
Not agreeing in the management, both were
removed, when the company went TO pieces
and fell under the control of Jay Gould,
Gould made no effort to keep the contracts
he entered into, and was unable to concill-
ate Willard, who became bitterly opposed to
him. A lawsuit was the result, ia the ter
mutation of which Willard, as the represent
tative of the Frankfort bondbolders, was en-
abled to effect a settlement which was fa-
vorable to the bondholders. Some time be-
fore this Vii ard had obtained control of the
Oregon Railway & Steam Navigation Com
pany, and recognizing in TIE Northern Pa
citic his greatest foe, in 1876 he interesi ed
others in scheme to obtain the right of
way for railroad along the south bank of
the Columbus river. Efforts were then
made to enter into an arrangement with the
Northern Pacific by which that company
would use the route for the terminal Of it's
own line. He finally obtained control of
both the Oregon Steam Navigation Company
and the Northern Pacific Railway. He
pushed forward his enterprise until he fluids
the Northern Pacific about completed, and
he is soon to drive the last spike.

Chairman Foss, of the Greenback State Commit
tee, has called meeting of the committee at Au-
burn, on the evening of September 19th al which
the members of the party invited for the pur-
pose Of general consultation. We cannot see hat
practical purpose can be accomplished by sach a
meeting at this time. The conference
could hardly escape the conclusion that the next
Presidential contest will be fought between the two
old parties. The Grssnbaek party az such cannot
expect to occupy any leading position in that
test and the question is npon which side shall the
member Of the party cast their influence and their
votes. . Plainly the true policy Is not
longer to attempt to maintain two party ganiza
to- .. They should be merged into one, and that
should be brought into line with the National Dem-
ecratic party, 30 that it May have a voice in the
next National Democrats Convention. From all
that We can hear and learn, such lolicy com
nands the almost unanimous assent of the opposi-
zion in this State; and the duties which, in our
judge emf, the two State ommittees have to per-
form is to take UGH action shall bring all those

anecdote If Judge Black: "Judge Black

you will put OIL clean shirt every morning,
andf have put six into your trunk. Please
10, and don't let me see in Washington pa
pers illusions to your dirty linen.' The
Judge promised, left and In week returned.
After speaking to his wife he went into his
office, where he was soon absorbed in study
ing case. After a while in came Mrs.
Black why, Judge said she, what have
you done with all the shirts you took to
Washington Done with the shirts" ex-
claimed the Judge, abstractedly. Yes, the
shirtsp said the matron. 'Ohp replied the
Judge, why put on clean one every
morning, as promised you would Yes,
Judge, but what did you do with those you
took off? you have not brought single one
back The truth just then flashed on the
Judges mind, and an examination disclosed
the fact that the old gentleman had put on o
clean shirt every morning over those which
he already wore"
