makes us fall down before him lost in
the sense of his desirableness and
beauty? The connection between glo-
rifying and enjoying him is, to my
mind, perfect-one following as the
necessary sequence of the other-and
facts bear me out in this. He who has
let self go, and lives only for the honor
of God is the free, the happy man. He
is no longer a slave, but has the liberty
of the sons of God; for him who
honors me / will honor" Satan has
befogged you on this point. He breads
to see you ripen into sanity, devoted,
useful man. He hopes to overwhelm
and ruin you. But he will not prevail.
You have solemnly given yourself to
the Lord; you have chosen the work of
winning and feeding souls as your life
work, and you cannot, must not, go
back. These conflicts are the lot of
those who are training to be the Lords
true yoke-fellows. Christ's sweetest
consultations lie behind crosses, and he
reserves his best things for those who
have the courage to press forward
fighting for them. l entreat you to
turn your eyes away from self, from
man, and look to Christ. Let me assure
you, as a fellow-traveler, that l have
been on the road and know it well, and
that by-and-by there won't be such a
dust on it. You will meet with him
ORANGES and trials, but will fight quietly
through, and no human ear can hear
the din of battle, nor human eye per-
ceive fainting, or hating, or fall. May
God bless you, and become to you an
ever present, joyful reality! Indeed, he
will, only wait patiently.-LJe and Let
ters Of Elizabeth Prentiss.

News-DOgs.

Sagacious dogs on the line of the
Naugatuck railroad serve their masters
as newsboys. They have been taughJ
when young to go considerable dis
lance from home to the trains and bring
papers when thrown out by the news
men or baggage masters. Their habits
have been observed and are related by
trainmen who have witnessed them
day after day. A dog owned by Philip
Mclean, proprietor of the Gate House
on the Thomaston road, goes every
morning from home to Inchliff's bridge,
where the train crosses the river, a dis
lance of one and one-half miles, and
carries the morning paper home. The
paper was formerly thrown off by the
brakeman on the last car, and there
the dog watched for it, Lately it has
been thrown from the baggage car.
The dog appeared angry at the change,
barked furiously, and waited sullenly
for some time before going on his err
rand. He has not yet become reconciled
to the new way of delivering his paper.
Another dog, owned by Edward Os-
borne at farmhouse mile back from
the railroad, comes regularly to meet
the early morning paper train below
Naugatuck. His nose is seen through
the board fence as the train winds a
curve, waiting patiently. He leaves
the house when he hears the whistle at
Beacon Falls, and reaches the train in
proper time, never getting left. During
the recent political campaign his owner,
who had been for long time taking
The Ne,cS, changed to another paper.
The keen instincts of the sagacious ami
NAL soon discovered the change, and he
at once refused to carry the new paper
home. His master was unable to coax
or drive him. New and different papers
were experimental with, to no avail.
While young dog he was taught to
carry The NetCs, and he firmly persisted.
The late Senator William Brown had a
pet dog who could readily distinguish
the whistles of the New England en-
gines from the Naugatuck, though
England roads at the same time side by
side. The faithful dog always found
his train and car, and stood in waing for
The Hartford Times, which he carried
home to his master for many years.
There is dog below Derby, on the
Naugatuck road, who has acted as fam
lily newsboy for several years, carrying
papers from the cars for his entire
neighborhood. The papers are thrown
out under full speed. Whether one or
large bundle of them the dog is able
to lug them off making good time back.
Newspaper Agent w. II. Beardsley tells
of number of other dogs that perform
like service. He mentions one that
has become an old veteran as news
boy and cannot now, from age and
rheumatism, get down to the cars. A
younger dog has made his place good, a
fact that has greatly grieved the old
dog, whose master still cares for him
on account of the good he has DONE

All Seen at Last.

1t is not too much to think that when
God shall have made up all his jewels,
and the number of the elect shall be
complete, he will make it part of their
happiness to look back from the height
of heaven upon all their winding track
and to see that every step has been Or
dered in infinite love; that their sorest
trials have been merciful; that their
freest choices have been links in Gods
chain of purpose; that their very sins
have been overruled for good. And if
this shall appear amazing in the history
of an individual, how shall it shine re-
splendent in the nations of them that
are saved, when ten thousand times ten
thousand intermingling and entangled
lives shall visibly accord with one in
finite plan and center in one sovereign
purpose! The great end of creation
and providence and grace is Gods own
glory. Rev. j. w. Alexander, DID,.

A Singing Beach.

Halfway down this lovely and lonely
island passage we plunged in, and we
had no sooner struck bottom than Mr..
Butler uttered a strange shout and
threw up his hands. / was startled till
| looked at his face; and then / was
puzzled beyond measure by his motions
and expressions. With his hands above
his head, he seemed to be dancing on
the bottom of the river, and with every
step he gave a shout of pleasure. While
l looked at him, astonished, / began to
feel the infection of his strange con-
duct. A thrill like soft music ran
through me, and seemed to tingle in my
ears, and under my tongue, and every
movement / made brought a repetition
of the inexpressible sound, for a sound
it was, that seemed to run all through
me like a musical echo. What is it?''
| cried at length. "This is wonder
fulr' 1t is musical beach-a sing
ing beach," answered Sigourney. "And
| should say that it was the finest in
the world" And then he said, for by
strange chance he knew something
about such a queer thing, 81 believe
there are only two or three singing
beaches known in the whole world,
and this certainly must be the best"
You may be sure we fingered over that
mellifluOus swim. We pushed the boats
ashore, and went in for the weird, sweet
music of the stream. As we pushed or
scraped the pebbly bottom with our
feet we felt, or heard, / hardly know
which, rich resonance passing through
us, clear and sweet as the soft note of
distant cow-bells. The slightest dis
placement of the gravel brought it up,
as if it had just escaped from the earth.
When we had tried it a hundred times,
it occurred to us that neither could hear
the note caused by the other-we only
heard the sound of our own feet Again
the tenacious memory of my friend
found an explanation. He remembered
that divers can only talk under water
by placing their heads on the bottom.
Another discovery here: You can't get
your head to the bottom of four-foot
stream, unless you catch hold of
stone on the bottom and pull yourself
down. You can dive, and get your
hands or feet or knees down; but not
your chin. We are both good SWIM
mers, and we tried in vain. While I'M
der water, on the dive, or crawling
along the bottom on hands ana knees,
the river was drear and silent sluice.
At last we got our chins on the bot
tom, each on a stone, and we heard it
oh! we heard such melodious discord,
such mixture of near and remote
echo-like sweetness as can only be i'm
agined in dreams. The river became
as full of music as it was of water, and
the inexpressible fusion of notes played
through our senses like intoXication.
Sigourney was twenty or thirty feet
from me, and in deeper water; but
every sweep he gave the pebbles
sounded to me like a thousand cow
bells melted into liquid harmony. Never,
until we go to the same spot again,
shall we hear such strange, suppressed,
eltin music.-John Boyle O'Reilly, IN

True Marriage.

1t must be borne in mind that there
is purpose of usefulness rather than
an opportunity for the indulgence of
luxury and ease in true marriage.
There is no music in home like a
wife's song, as she goes about her du-
ties, singing away drudgery, putting
housework to metre, and lifting it in
melody to heaven. Education is now,
in our public schools, turned to fitting
women for the practical duties of life;
and prospective wives are being taught
to sew and cook and keep house. Here
tofore too many have been educated
apparently for the divorce court. A
boarding-school diploma and bill of
divorce have completed many young
woman's education. The rest of life
was but as the dried and framed wreath
from the corpse of buried joy.-PresJy-
teridn,

GET home; rich or poor, get a
home, and learn to love that home, and
make it happy TO wife and children by
your presence. Learn to love simple
pleasures; flowers of Gods own plant
ing, and music of his own-the birds,
wind and rainfall. So shall you help to
stem the tide of desolation, poverty and
despair that comes upon so many
through scorn of little things. Oh, the
charm of little home! Comforts dwell
there that shun the gilded halls of So
ciety. Live humbly in your small
house, and look to God for grander
one. Wdtchman.
