A New Lincoln Story.

Just after the publication of Score
tary Chase's exceedingly able Treasury
report in 1868, jealous friend of the
President went to Lincoln with sugges-
ton that Mr.. Chase should be looked
after; he was using his power as Secre-
tary of the Treasury to further his own
ambitious schemes. Lincoln laughed
shrewdly, and brought out the inevitable
story of which he was reminded. An
Illinois farmer, tilling a few acres of
land and employing only one poor old
horse, was blowing, one day, while his
son regarded the operation from the
nearest fence. Suddenly the old, spirit
less horse pricked up its ears and
started briskly onward in the furrow,
almost dragging the old man at the plow-
tail around the land. The lad surveyed
the unusual sight from the fence, the old
man having hard work to keep up as the
horse went flying around, and then he
cried out, "Say, dad, why don't you
brush off that gad-fy on old Dobbin's
back ?" As he flew past the old man re-
piled, 81 never saw Dobbin doing SO
we'll before. Let the gad-fy be"

A Short Sermon.

A perfect man goes through life with
out attracting particle of attention.
He rises in the morning without notice
he goes through his daily work quietly
and the world doesn't care a cent when
or how he goes to bed. No crowds 90
to see him, he may travel from Dan to
Beersheba without anybody peering
their heads out of window to gaze upon
him, and when he sinks into his grave
his wife marries again, his will is dis.
puted by his children and eaten up nv
lawyers, and that is all there is about
it. But let that man run off with his
neighbours wife, let him speculate in
stocks and embezzle few hundreds of
thousands of dollars, or in any way de-
part from the regular routine of cor
rect life, and men and women will travel
miles to see him.

Stories AbOut Miss FOrtescue.

The London Truth says Still they
talk of Lord Garmoyle, and look forward
with malicious pleasure to the reading OF
his Lordship's letters in court. what
the verdict of the jury will be is, of
course, still in the womb of the future.
Lord Garmoyle has, 1 believe, e., 900
per annum of his own, and if he gets off
with the loss of one-half OF this, he will
have to esteem himself fortunate. The
funniest stories are current about Miss
Fortescue's behavior in the bosom of the
Cairns household. They say that she
would insist on addressing the ex-Lord
Chancellor as cold chappie"; that she
opened her eyes with surprise when
Lady Cairns presented her with Bible,
as though she were heather; that she
broke forth into the words of music
hall song when a curate was playing a
hymn tune on the piano; that she came
down to breakfast with her hair down
and in pinafore; and that she generally
opera b0uffsd the serious family into
which she was introduced. All these
are probably inventions neither zero
nor ben trordfo. I believe it is adj
mitted that she had been engaged to an
before she accepted Lord
Garnnoyle; but hardly see how this is
any palliation of the conduct of the
after. Because a girl gives up sutton,
there is no reason why she should be |
brown o, ar by a Utter.

A Slave Dealer for Governor.

General Gordon advises the appoint
ment of Zobehr Pacha to succeed him
self as Governor of the Soudan. DIR.
Schweinfurth gives vivid description
of a visit paid to Zobehr Pacha in 1877.
Zobehr possesses a line of thirty forti-
fed posts, reaching far into the heart of
Africa, by means of which he had not
only become the head of all the slave
dealers, but was the real and sole chief
of their country. The Khedive, pow
erless to control this formidable vassal,
had sent his troops to join him in all ex-
petition against the Sultan of Darfour.
Unfortunately for himself, Zobehr went
down to Cairo to assert his claim to be
made Governor of that province, carry
ing with him, it is said, e100, 900 to be
used as brides. He was detained at
Cairo, and put apon the pension list
with ei00 month. A message from
Zobehr forwarded to his son and the Off
GERS who had sworn fidelity to him under
the great tree at Shaka, as described by
Colonel Gordon, produced speedy re-
volt among the slave dealers. 1t was
this revolt which was crushed by Gessi
Pacha, who shot Suleiman. Zobehr's
son. He also slew all his officers except
one, who escaped, and is now supposed
by some to be the Mahdi.
Zobehr was kept as a State prisoner
at the capital. Ten years passed. An
other pretender annihilated the Egyp-
tan forces and menaced Egypt itself
with invasion. Then the officials at
Cairo, being manifestly without re-
sources, applied to the distinguished
captive. Would he go back to his home?
Would he summon his faithful Nubians
to his standard? Would he for PHYS
sake do something to stay the advance
of this fanatical plague? Yes. He would
do all this. He would lead, in the Khe-
dives name, the Black Contingent of the
Soudan expeditionary force. Very good,
said the Ministers; but leave us, pray,
your wife and daughter as hostages
shall we say ?-for your good behavior.
Yes. By all means, said Zobehr. Keep
them and welcome. But secretly he
sent off his spouse to Suakim; not so Sc
cretly, however, but that the Vizier
heard of it, and so Zobehr himself was
However, he was afterward
set free again.

Gems from Beecher's Sermon.

81 am going to preach on morality
this morning. said Mr.. Beecher Sunday.
His text was Mathew ", 20-"Unless
your righteousness exceeds the right
eousness of the Scribes and Pharlsees,
Won cannot enter into the kingdom OF
Heaven He said in the course OF the
sermon -
s9There is nothing that is less previous
than conceited orthodoxy In any age or
in any nation.
"There is many a pulpit the whole
drift of whose teaching is-wlthsan oc-
casional lapse into the practical-the I'M
folding of the eternal laws OF the eternal
God
ssThe Christian religion is not a re-
ligion that undertakes to provide saliva
ton ultimately. 1t is religion whose
top, middle and sides Is the oul1dlng OF
men up into Jesus Christ.
''The union of morality and external
purity is the great theme OF the Gospel;
That which lies at the root OF the Old
theology scarcely had word OF enuncla-
ton in the four gospels.
s'But for Paul l don't think there
would have been any theology-such as
we have had. Whether it would be a
loss or a gain don't undertake to say"
ST do not knaw that you can better
define morality than to say that it is
conformity to the laws of our condition.
"No man has a right so to carry his
body that one pact cheats another part. ,
eff the foot has the govt the hand
knows it. The ear cannot rldlcule the
eye nor the eve the ear. We are coupled
together in our body; so we are in human
society. He who violates the law OF
morality Injuries all those around about
him."
'sThe laws of society are simply paths
that show by Experience what Is the
easiest way for S.zn to walk; what is the
easiest way for them to prosper"
sThere was a. general impression IN
nv mind when Twas young that morality
was not good for much; that man must
make his peace with God and have piety,
and then, es a result of having piety, he
would obey the moral laws of the COM
munity and of his being, but that, after
all, morals would not save anybody"
81 have a profoundest sense of the
Importance of morality. I feel that it is
the gateway to spirituality. I hold that
a man who is not moral man cannot be
Christian man.
81 do not think that man who has
been wallowing for thirty years is very
apt to fly the next thirty. A man that
has crept on his belly like worm will
hardly be transformed into a butterfly.
l don't believe that the higher forms
of spirituality come to men who have
been violating the higher canons of
morality"
''It is worth a mans while to be
moral, even if he is not going to be a
Christian"
"Will morality save him? You must
not suppose that morality is substitute
for the higher form of religion"
''He has got a crocodile's conscience.
He never feels conjunction unless he
has left something undone that is mean
or selfish or grinding"
''If you violate the laws of morality
you are like man who is knocking the
letters out of the alphabet by which he
is to spell his title"
SIT is a desirable thing to have good
root; it is very desirable thing that the
root should have good stem and good
fruit "
