makers, had very little idea how the
reporters had to work to get all the
facts and some fancies together. While
troops U them scour the city at nigh;

street offices and some of the banks had
to be closely watched. An eye had ID be

Picket duty at their houses had also to

sides, to keep close watch on the up
town hotels and other resorts of tn.
brokers and banking men. Then there
was the work of finding out what th-
police were doing, or likely to do, and
what was going on in the ID istrict At
toruey's Office and whether the Sheriff
was up to any thing ; and when every

WAS indeed an uncom Monly busy time
with the reporters, and all their work was
we'll done. There has not often been a
more striking illustration Of the fight
it.Out pluck of reporters than occurred
IN the Sun office q few weeks ago when
one OF two men sent to report a fire wa
killed by firemen's ladder falling on
him. The other, who was severely
hurt at the same time, made his way
to the offic though suffering great
pain, and unable TO do any writing
himself, dictated an account of the Are
and accident to another reporter, 80
that full report appeared the next
morning. 1t sn0t often, OF course, thai
reporters are exposed to the risk OF be-
ing killed at their post OF duty, hut in
any case the risk Is the last thing
thought of. There WAS no such risk in
the late Wall street work, but If there
had been the reporters would have gone
through all the same.

Good hearty laughter il one OF
the best physicians known, being as
necessary as pure air to invalids, hypo-
chondr iacs, sufferers from nervous ex.
haustion, and those FRUSTRATED by bust
ness cares and mental worries. He Ia
q gay companion, foe to gloom and
death, for, being disciple ofMoliere,
joy, brightness and health accompany
him everywhere. His treatment Ia
simple and applicable TO all ages. He
never makes any charge for his scr
vices, and he is always ready to come
when sent tor. His face wears the
brightest of smiles, which are in them
selves better than most of the drugs in
the pharmacopGia for curing certain
diseases, and his presence Is sufficient
to rouse the weak and lethargic into
lew life. Invalids should consult him
as often as possible If they would light
en- their burdens, make their lives Ion
ger and happier, and defy the APPROACH

Heaven is Beautiful.

One of Gods aged saints was drawing
near the end of her earthly pilgrimage.
Her suterings were great, yet she did
not complain. She lay passive in the
hands of her heavenly Father, sweetly
submissive to his will. The last dis
tressed turn at length came. Taking her
daughter by the hand, and giving her a
farewell kiss, she opened her eyes wide,
and looking up, she said Heaven is
beautiful" and Immediately she was
within the gates. AS in the case OF
Stephen, the heavens seemed to open to
her view, and she seemed to have a
glimpse of the wonderful glory before
she had passed within the veil.
How transcendently beautiful heaven
Is, none but those who have been favored
with the actual vision can fully know.
We mortals, who are yet in the flesh,
can have'but faint conception. Earth
In its ruins, sin-cursed as it is, is beauti-
full. Much of loneliness has survived the
Fall. Paradise, before sin entered, must
have been charming abode But the
heaven of heavens, where Gwelleth the
Most High, must exceed all our highest
imaginings. The great Father of all is
glorious N holiness" The Son is "the
express image of his person" The an
gels are all holy angels, and the :: beauty
OF the Lord is upon all the saints. The
choicest things of earth are employed TO
set forth the external splendor of the &C.
lestlal city. Its gates are represented as
being of pearl, its walls of Jasper, its
foundations of all manner of precious
stones, and its streets of pure gold, &c IT
We're transparent glass. And the city
hath no need of the sun, neither of the
moon to shine in it; for the glory of God
doth tighten it, and the Lamb is the
light thereof" And through it flows
pure river of water of life, clear as crys-
tai, proceeding out of the throne of God
and of the Lamb. The heavenly Zion is
the perfection of beauty" It's glorious
builder and maker has formed it dwell
ing-place fit for his own abode. No
wonder that as the believer contemplates
it, and gains some faint conception of It's
excellence, he breaks forth in song, and
sings
love to think of the heavenly land,
That promised land so fair;
Oh how my raptured spirit longs
To be forever there"
Christian Treasury.

Converted by His Own Preach
inc

French Professionals have been lament
ing the recent loss of several valuable
pastors. Among them is M. Jeanmaire,
OF the Confession of Augsburg, and the
story of his singular conversion is recall
ed. At the time of its occurrence he was
a preceptor in the House of Hohenlohe,
and was a nationalist in his views. On
a certain occasion he was invited by a
pastor to supply for him. He declined,
saying How can preach what [ do
not believer"
what do not believe in God?"
Yes, do that"
"And surely you believe that we
should love Him ?"
Doubtless.
"Well, then, preach on the words Of
Jesus {: Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy. heart and mind and
strength.
l will try, just to oblige YOU"
He thought over the words, and made
notes:
First-We must love God, and the
reason for it.
Second-We must love Him with all
our powers, in very deed nothing less
could satisfy God.
Third-But do we thus love God
MOI
And then said he, without any
previously formed plan, was brought to
add: We need a Saviour. At that
moment new light broke upon my soul
| understood that / had not loved God A.;
that / needed Saviour that Jesus was
that Saviour; and l loved Him and
chung to Him at once. On the morrow
preached the sermon, and the third head
was the chief-the need of Jesus, and the
necessity of trusting such a Saviour"

Watchman, What of the Night :?

Say, Waterman, comes there yet no beam of
morning,
With tender light to bless our aching eyes?"
81 see no lucid CLEAN the East adjoining,
But all enwrapt in deepest midnight lies"
o weary times of wckedness and wailing;
wretched prisoners bound in deaths black
shade;
o fruitess prayers and hopes that now are
falling;
Great God when will Thy mercy send us aid ?
" No more the stars their twinkling watch are
keeping;
The stormy clouds are gathering thick and
FAST
hear the raving tempest onward sweeping
feel the terrors of the shuddering blast"
0 brother men, what means this dread upheav-
ing2
Whence are thy piteous agOnies, o earth?
War, fever, famine-is it past believing
These are thy throes before better birth?
The storm is past and morning winds are
blowing
a song of JOY Ger darkness chased away.
The radiant East with golden fame is glowing
To herald in the orb of glorious day"
Farewell, ye times of sadness. Every nation
Lift up your eyes and let your sorrows cease;
Adorn the Sun whose light is your salvation,
The eternal Lord of Heaven and Prince of
Peace Selected.
