BLIND ATHEISM.

The sun shines on the waters; and the waters
to the wall
OF my poor cabin. narrow. dark and small,
Hing a perpetual nnpurpOscd flow
Of luminous pulses dancing u ana fro:
shoots to NV eye,
Fur travelled from its fountain in the sky
suppose me born and brcd in such small
home
Cabned and crbbed, with never look out
side
Into the heaving tide
Or upward to the bright, expansive dome
Which men call Heaven, what should l say
of Light
I'd say, belize. 1t was tangled maze
OF freaksh rays,
Fitting about to feed my wondering gaze.
Redeemed such.wise from Chaos and old
Night
A bright confusion without law or rule.
And for the sun, the glorious lord Of day
And his all-Hrmeunt. altplastic ray,
For that knew no Sun. Inaybap Id say
AS Atheists are-blind guides who 20 to
school
With outward sense, and what mere sense
compels
Alone believe. BE wiser thou, and know,
Behind all shadOwy show
Acauseful Substance dwells;
Behind all tangled maze
OF crowded things that try the wondering
gaze
In air. in water, and In teemng sod.
A Reason works. which wisely men call God.

aureoie of sanctity encircled the brow
of sorrow ard invested 1t with mys.
FERROUS charm. 1t is related Of an old
Catholic saint that, at the evening of .
laborious and well-spent life, Christ
appeared to him as q man Of sorrows,
and, commencing his past exertions,
asked him what reward he would de-
sire. Fame, and wealth, and earthly
pleasures had no attractions to one
who had long been weanod from the
things of sense; yet tho prospect OF
other and spiritual blessings for mo-
ment thrilled the saint with JOY; but
when he looked upon the sacred brow.
still Swallowed as with the anguish Of
Gethsemanc. every selfish wish was
forgotten. and, with voice of 'incffa-
bic love, he answered: lord, that !
might suffer most!''--Coy. latcrnationa!

IN THE SECRET PLACE

The Troubles That DO Not Come Nigh
Him who Has Made the Lord His Hab-
itatiOn.
Manya student, reading the Ninety
first Psalm, has been intellectually puz-
zled by its promises: "Thou shalt not
be afraid for the terror by night; nor
for the arrow that flieth by day; nor
for the pestilcnce that walketh in dark.
ness; nor for the destruction that
wasteth at MONDAY. A thousand shall
fall ut thy side, and ten thousand at
thy right hand; but it shall not come
nigh thee" ''How Is this?" cries the
rationalistic critic, 'do not the saints
sicken and dieP Is piety q protection
from ch0lerap Does the devOut man
not need vaccination in time of small
poxP" Aye! the pestilence that walk.
eth IN darkness and the destruction
that wasteth ut MONDAY enter the
homes Of the godly rs Of the ungodly.
And yet it is literally literally if
we will read both the promise and the
fulfillment with the spiritual percep-
tiOn--.that they do not come nigh him
who has made the Lord his habitation.
Men are hurt only where their life is;
and calamity is no calamity II it does
not touch vital interest. a man may
live so low life that q shame which
would kill a more noble nature will
not cost him an hours sleep or tenn
porary loss of appetite. In like man
ner. man may live so high life
that troubles which infest and
torment his less ennobled nigh
Dor will not come nigh
him. General Armstrong. the Nnsung
hero of Hampton Institute, will sit at
the table so absorbed in the CONVERSE
ton and in the cause to which Ne has
consecrated himself, and in which he
lives, that he does not know what is
set before him and eats II in entire I'M
consciousness whether il is well cooked
or i'll cooked; indeed, he would scarce
~ know II II were not cooked at all,
and burnt beefsteak or muddy coffee,
which would spoil the breakfast for y
less absorbed enthusiast, comes not nigh
him. In like manner, It il possible to
10 live IN the spiritual world, 20 10
make the Most High ones refuge, 80
to dwell In the secret place Of the Most
High, that the troubles which infest
the life Of those whose life Is in earthly
circumstance and relation almost liter
ally come not nigh the GOd-sheltered
spirit. He is struck, but feels 1t not;
wounded, hut is oblivious. Like the
wounded boy who brought his message
to Napoleon, and then fell dead at bis
feet, he is borne up by Divine enthu-
siasm which makes him Oblivious Of
and impervious even to death-wOunds.
In the midst Of the bowling mob.
clamOring with angry voices and closed
fists for the blood of their victim,
Christ stood unmoved, as the sunlit
mountain-top by the storm which beats
upon its base. Tho execrations of the
mob, and later the anguish Of tho cross.
truly came not nigh Him. - Christian
Linton.

GRATIFYING RESULTS.

Important and Commcndable Action ~
to sunday Observance by tho pennsyl-
vanla Railrosd.
There is no more constant. open. and
by consequence more influential. en-
croachment upon the Sunday rest than
is made by railways and other agencies
of transportation. For these are made
various pleas of necessity, which knows
no law. But that plea is not sustained
by evidence. There is no railroad in
the United States having more extended
interests than the Pennsylvania. This
great company, as we learn from the
Presbyterian, has on it's own motion,
by the unsolicited action of its manage
mcnt, made great and beneficial
change in its arrangements. "A few
weeks ago an order was issued that all
freight trains on the main line Except
ing live-stOck> should stop from q
o'clock Saturday evening until mid
night Sunday, and the men be sent to
their homes. At the end of the first
week gratifying reports Of tho expert
ment came in. Some officers COM
mented upon the reposeful quiet which
the day had brought by freedom from
the rumbling and putting Of heavy
trains passing to and fro near their
homes But what seemed most sur
prising to the management was the re-
port of the. effects upon the men and.
