Proxy Religion.

There are not few among the professedly
duty doing. Busy with the pressing engage
ments of this world, they are found declining
the service to which, as Christ's disciples, they
are summoned SO they offer their subscription
in lieu of personal labor, and begging off from
this or that work, as an equivalent proffer their
check tor a somewhat enlarged amount
The consequence is we have more who pay than
pray; more to be counted on for giving than for
serving. We would not for a moment disparags
the former, but we believe one reason that the
benevolent giving of our churches is so irregular
and inadequate is because so many givers are
gradually ceasing to be doors. Personal labor
in some field for the Master is the best inspira-
ton to steady, generous beneficence. 1t is not
safe for any one to buy himself off from Christ
ian service

exhibiting some kind of crazy work, embroidery
or tapestry. Many of the articles
are very handsome and artistic, while others are
chiefly remarkable fort the amount of patient work
which was required to produce them Among

those Of Queen Victoria, the Prince of Wales,

A Clergyman Invents a Corkscrev.

The Ri. Rev Mgr. Cluever, pastor of Our Lady
Help of Christians, has invented an automatic
corkscrew which is destined to become very popu-
lar. The invention is a simple one. and it is a
wonder it was not thought of long ago. The
corkscrew proper is concealed within tube, and
is operated with bar or handle the same as an
ordinary corkscrew. To this handle is II spiral,
which, as the corkscrew is operated, winds itself
into the covering tube, the same as hose
coupling is made. On either side of the tube is
little clamp, operated with spring, and in the
interior is another spring, which is easily screwed
down as the corkscrew is turnd. The mouth of
the tube, which covers the corkscrew, is placed
over the neck of the bottle from which the cork
is to be drawn. The screw is turned into the
cork, and the interior spring, which is very pow
erful, is pressed downward at the same time
When the screw is properly through the cork
the side clamps are lightly pressed, the spring is
released, aud out comes the coax as neatly as
could be wished.

Thanksgiving.

The grain is garnered in,
The apples ripe are stored.
The yellow pumpkins CLEAN among
The farmers treasured hoard.
The earth is brown and bare,
That once was green and gay;
Where regal Autumn charmed the eye,
Dead leaves bestrew the way.
Though clouds be dark o'erhead,
With wind and unshed rain,
The good which once has crowned the earth
Will make it bloom again.
Then let us thank our God
For spring-tire soft aud fair
For April rain and May day sun
And June's delicious air.
For July showers and heat
For dreamy August haze,
For cool September's purple fields,
For glad October days.
For dull November skies,
And barns with harvest filed.
We thank Thee, Lord, who richly blessed
The lands Thy servants titled.
The year to come is Thine,
Thou knowest what will be;
Send rain, and dew. and wind and sun,
AS seemeth best to Thee.

he does not require the assistance of valet in

He wears a mustache which is rather heavy

shaves with his own hands every morning.
President Arthur had his own barber come to
the White House and shave him. Arthur

A Dream.

In the Manner Of Century Bric-a- Rrac.
There came last night dream to me
Some other dreams resent bling
A dream in which l kissed two lips
Two little lips all trembling;
Two little lips that seemed to say:
why did you wait so late dayl
Why did you hide your heart away2
Why was itl"
And then I awoke, and all was gone
But hope, which stayed withal;
So on the next days afternoon
kissed her in the hall

An Enemy Disguised,
Rev. G. III. Sturgeon.

One very frequent disguise of unbelief is that
of humility. II feel my self such great sinner;
feel SO much evil to be in my heart dare not
believe in Jesus" If you judged by appearances
you might think this unbeiief very modest; but,
indeed, it is not So 1t initiates the tone of
humility, but it cannot catch the accent.
This deceptive vice dares to hint that the sin
ner's unworthiness is reason why Jesus should
not be trusted What! would any man tell me
that his own 'wickedness is reason why he
should distrust met That would be too absurd.
Because you are such sinner is God, therefore,
deceiver, and not to be trusted? This is not

A large share of the churches do not attack
the iniquities that are powerful among their
membership. If man has made a great for
tune by speculations, which impoverished thou

manipulations, which debauch the virtue of our

demoralizing and dangerous ways, the church to
which he gives small percentage of his wealth
is very likely to look the other way as far as his
questionable practice is concerned. The people
see this disposition to blink at the dangerous
tendencies of the worship of wealth, and, to use
the words of the clergyman quoted "they are
