Facing the Lions.

A Frence dUOcdt of large wealth liv-
ing in Lyons was accidentally detained
with his family in Paris during its
siege by the Prussians. His means
were soon exhausted, he had no friends
from whom he could borrow, and his
family, who had always lived in luxury,
were more than once in actual dan
ger of starvation. He has written
graphic account of their experience;
but adds; " 1t had its uses; it taught us,
for the first tine in our idle, careless
lives, to think and to feel" A we'll
known surgeon, while recalling lately
some of his observations upon his
patients, remarked: 1T is curious
fact that men who have been used to
make an cutlery about cut finger or
the toothache usually find somewhere
the physical nerve to face a capital OPP
Grafton without flinching, and are al
ways after it more courageous and
manly men. There is an enormous de-
veloping power in pain" I'm my ex-
tremity," says st. Justine, " discov-
cred new paths to God" Even where
there is neither religion nor philosophy,
the latent strength and endurance of
human nature are inevitably forced to
the light by great perils and suffering.
The rank and file of armies are made
up, as a rule, of illiterate, commonplace
men, who in ordinary life are assuredly
not heroic; yet instances of cowardice
are comparatively rare on any battle
field. Physicians record the almost
universal fact of the calmness with
which all men and women meet death.
Even the murderer, ignorant and de-
graded, seldom makes an cutlery on the
gallows. We can all remember to have
noted in the face of our friends who
had passed through great pain or grief
finer lines and the expression of higher
capabilities than we had ever seen there
before. 1t was after Daniel had faced
the lions that he became prophet of
God. The southern planter will tell
you that the electricity in the atmos-
phere during thunderstorm will ripen
his corn faster than days of sunshine or
of soft summer rains. Men are like
the corn. There are certain qualities
and perceptions latent in human nature
which lie dormant in prosperity, and
which need pain and sorrow to quicken
them to life, Young people can fine

lem which confronts us so early in life
"Why must we bear pain, when Goo
could have made world without it
Why must we pass through the valley
of the shadow of death?" We must al
go through the den of lions. But it de
ponds on ourselves whether the wilt
beasts tear us to pieces, or watch US
with closed jaws through the night
leaving us closer to God in the morn
ing.-Youhhs Companion.

visit in a Christian family connected
with certain church. Her attention
was aroused by the new life around
her, and she began to ask many earnest
questions. In the church was quite
party of young people who had their
own prayer-meeting and literary circle.
To these she was introduced. She
found their conversation just like that
to which all her life she had been ac-
customed. They enlarged with zest
upon the gayeties of the town; their
talk was of actresses and of balls. Nat
urally a leader, this young lady soon
took the initiative in their amusements
When she found that her companions
at the Saturday play were Christian
young women, who helped to sustain
the prayer-meeting and taught in the
Sabbath-school, she could not under
stand how they could be interested in
such dull work; but when they laughed
constrainedly and with an apologize
remark.or two turned eagerly to the
discussion of the play or the party, all
thought of their Christian profession
as a serious or important thing, and all
interest in Christianity for herself
seemed to be dismissed from her mind
and she returned to her home as
worldly and as Indifferent as she had
come.-ReU. j. II. Worcester's IVomdn-

Battles With Two Names.

The conflict of the 14th of Septem-
Der, 1862, is called the battle of South
Mountain at the North and the battle
of BoOnsborough at the South. So
many battle fields of the civil war bear
double names that we cannot believe
the duplication has been accidental 1t
is the unusual which impresses. The
troops of the North came mainly from
cities, towns and villages, and were,
therefore, impressed by some natural
object near the scene of the conflict,
and named the battle from it. The
soldiers from the South were chiefly
from the country and were, therefore,
impressed by some artificial object
near the field of action. In one sec
ton the naming has been after the
handiwork of God; in the other section
ii has been after the handiwork of man.
Thus the first passage of arms is called
the battle of Bull Run at the North
the name of little stream. AT the
South it takes the name of Manassas,
from railroad station. The second
battle on the same ground is called the
Second Bull Run by the North and the
Second Manassas by the South. Stones
defeat is the battle of Balls Bluff with
the federals and the battle of Leesburg
with the confederates. The battle
called by General Grant Pittsburg Land
ing, natural object, was Damed Shi-
loh, after church, by his antagonist.
Rosecrans called his first great fight
with Bragg the battle of Stone River,
while Bragg named it after Murfrees-
boro, village. So McClellan's battle of
the Chickahominy, a little river, was with
Lee the battle of Cold Harbor, a tavern.
The federals speak of the battle of Pea
Ridge of the Ozark range Of mountains,
and the confederates call it after Elk
Horn, a country inn. The Union sol
diers called the bloody battle three days
after South Mountain from the little
stream Antietam, and the Southern
troops named it after the village Of
Sharpsburg. Century Magazine,

that he exhibited to sustain the inter-
est of his lecture. During the early
part of the war he said the hospital
service was comparatively inefficient;
the hospitals were not sufficiently large
or well manned and the surgeons were
often unable, though working day and
night, to properly attend to the wants
of the sick and wounded; but the pa
triotism of the North sent forth a ready
response to the call for help, and the
Sanitary Commission and similar bodies
sent men and medicine, while the farm
ers sent potatoes and onions, and at one
time II 900 gallons of sauerkraut were
received, with other perishable stores,
at City Point. The hospitals were often
temporary shelters or tents, with arcades
of evergreen boughs before them, and
in process of transporting the wounded
from the battle field to the rear, across
rough roads in ambulances, they often
experienced the most eXcruclatlng
agony, and were sometimes compelled
to lie for hours, even for days, dirty,
grimmed with blood, weak, helpless,
suffering, unfed, with wounds I'M
dressed. In that condition they were
sometimes visited by mistaken-minded
gentlemen, who offered them tracts,
with the remark that they had no food
for the body, but had more important
food for the soul. Under these circum-
stances soldiers have been known to
use profane language and to reject the
"die easys," as tracts were called.
During the first year of the war en-
balmers set up establishments on the
field, and were known to visit dying
soldiers in the hospitals to solicit the
job of embalming them. One of them
put up, as a sign, a dessicated soldier
in front of his tent. When General
Grant assumed command he drove these
men out of camp. The women who
went to the front did a great deal for
the suffering soldiers, though the latter
used to complain that none of them
seemed qualified to act as nurses until
they were over forty years of age or
had lost their good looks. Among the
occupations that convalescent soldiers
once in while resorted to, in order to
while away the tedium of recovery,
was that of carving rings out of the
bones of their discarded legs. The suf-
fering of the war is half forgotten, but
the men who offered their lives in de-
Tense of the nation should be held in
affectionate remembrance.

How 1t Works.

A gentleman who had fallen into the
habit of reading his daily paper as it
was served to him-seven days in the
week-tells us how it affected his spir
itual state: " As matter of personal
duty this question was decided by me
a few months since, when, after reading
the New York papers on Sunday morn
ing, discovered the effect it was hav-
ing on my Christian life. Authorization
to substitute the newspaper forall other
kinds of Sabbath reading was one of
these effects. Another was that much
of the time just previous to church
service was devoted to interesting col
umns of secular news, and with the re-
suit that the mind at its close was not
open and receptive to the Word of God;
during church-service it was the news
of the day battling with the sermon,
the prayers and the hymns all the way
through This has been my own eX-
perience, and l know it to be the eX-
perience of many other Christians.
What, then, ought we to do? In my
own case it was plain; | ordered my
Sunday newspaper discontinued. Tile
