THE SECRET OF THE LORD.
Happy and Safe Is He Who Possesses It
Free to All.

Happy and Safe Is He Who Possesses It
Free to All.
1.-The secret of the Lord Is with them
that fear Him." yet none in the busy
crowds among whom they move in the
noisy street know what is passing in
their hearts. An American citizen in a
foreign city, seeing the meteor flag of
his native land floating at the mast
head of ship, is inwardly moved by
the association it revives, to patriotic
feelings, to emotions of love, to fond
anticipations of his return to the joys
and repose of his fireside. But of his
secret thoughts the people about him
know nothing. TO them the flag of his
country is but as one flag among many
others. They NEEDLE not with the
secret joysit kindles within his swelling
breast, 1t is even SO with the secret Of
the Lord in good mans breast. He
walks the street like other men. Yet
while their thoughts are of things visi-
BILE and earthly, his are of God and
things unseen. He sees God in every
thing about him. God is communing
with him, feasting him on holy thought,
quickening his spiritual aspirations,
comforting him with assurances of his
sonship, and with visions of his incor-
ruptible Inheritance. Happy, there
fore, and safe also, is he who possesses
the secret of the Lords presence! But
inasmuch as this priceless secret is
offered as free gift to all men, is it
not more than folly for any man to
slight that gracious offerp Busy search
ing for grain of sand, such an one re-
jects the prefer of an imperishable
crown.-Zion's Herald.

them. He went and traded with the
same" He turned then over. and
made them source Of profit
just how he traded is not told in the
parable; but if it was in the line OF tine
best trading nowadays, it was by quick
sales and small profits. If he had gone
into the market-place with his ten tale
ents. and waited for chance to make
his hundred per cent. all at once, he
would probably have waited till his
lord came back and asked for an ac-
counting; and he would have had no
more to show for his stewardship than
the unfaithful servant who hid his
lords money. At the end of the first
week he had made very little profit,
but he was glad to get that little; and
he was able to make little more the
next week; and more still the next,
until, when his lord came hon e, the
accumulated profit had doubled the
original capital. Half per cent. profit
is very little. but half per cent.
week is thirty-tive per cent. a year; and
the lord of that servant might have
come back in scarce more than two
years and found his capital doubled,
and all done in Insignificant liGtle
profits.
Is not this very much the way it
is in Christian service? Men often
think they will not do any thing for
Christ until they can do something
noticeable and handsome. They want
their talents to bring in big profit on
each transaction. But those big OPP
portunities happen very seldom. Every
week and every day there are little OPP
portunities; chances for word, a
smile, cup of cold water. Each OF
these is an investment for the Master,
not at large profit, but at satisfactory
one; and when the Lord cometh the
grand total of profit we can hand in to
Him as our account will be made up
of these little half per cent. transac-
tons, which count up on the end more
than the large ones. 1t is on these
that we get compound interest. 1t is
these that show the good Christian
financier, who took his talents and
traded every day with the same. ac-
cepting every opportunity to make a
little. and thus gained the "Well
DONE" 1t is the man who does COM
mon duties every day to the best of his
powers, neglecting no smallest occa-
sions, that gives the world the example
of a living Christian character, and Sc
cures larger harvest Of blessing than
many an ambitious and noisy professor
of religion.-N y independent

Locomotives That Love and Hate and Ell

hibit Other Human Passions.
Locomotives are funny things"
said an Erie engineer, land I've seen
them sometimes when l believed they
were actually human. They get the
sulks and have balky streaks, and
when they're in such moods you can't
make time with them any more than
you can fly. Then again they'll be as
clipper and willing as thoroughbred
horse, and you actually have to hold
'em in to keep from running into sta
tons ahead of time.
II suppose the stubbornest loco
motive that was ever put on road was
one of the Twin Sisters a couple of
splendid machines built by the New
York Central few years ago. They
were made exactly alike in every par
ticular, from the same patterns, by the
same workmen and with the same ma
terials. There wasn't a man ON the
road that could tell which was which
until their numbers were painted on
them. They were beauties, and the
engineers who were assigned to duty
on them were the envy of all the boys.
When the engines were put on trial one
of the locomotives developed amazing
power and speed. She could take a
freight train up q grade with scarcely
an effort. and with a passenger train
made fifty miles an hour with ease.
The other one wouldn't go at all. Even
when pulled wide open she would
simply give a few spiteful puffs of black
smoke, q few turns of her driving
wheels. and then would stop. The
way she exhausted steam showed that
she was vixen. She was taken apart,
and not single thing could be found
wrong with her mechanism. Different
parts of the locomotive that was so
great a success were exchanged for the
same parts in the stubborn one. The
willing locomotive ran as well as ever,
but the stubborn one refused to move a
peg. They tried half dozen different
engineers on her-for you must know
that sometimes a locomotive is par
ticular about the man that handles her
throttle, and will do work for one that
she refuses to DO for another; but she

The young people of an Episcopal
church in Media, Pa, gave an enter
tainment few days ago, the feature Of
which was mock Japanese wedding.
The hall was decorated to represent the
interior Of a daimaio's residence; the
bride, Miss Julia Schelling, tOddled
with the true Japanese gait; her twenty
attendants were robed in silken kimono
and hakama, and the groom and his
best men were equipped bravely with
two swords each. 1t was an intensely
oriental affair and drew a paying
audience.

The Nashville american, in an article
on the editorial ''sce," says the fol-

is no such thing as human omniscience.

the intricacies of thought itself. Gram.

EDISON'S LATEST.
The Wizards Invention for Telegraphing
to and from Moving Trains.

to and from Moving Trains.
l have just had talk with Mr.. Edi-
son, the inventor, regarding his new
invention for telegraphing to and from
moving railroad trains. The popularity
of this system is that small battery
and small table for the operators in
strument may be placed in any railroad
car; and from these, by means of wire
leading to the ordinary metal roof of
the car, telegraphic messages can be
sent through the air to the ordinary
wires that run alongside the track.
The electric current is drawn by induc-
ton either to or from the wires, and it
is of such nature that it does not in
terfere with the currents which carry
messages along the wires in the usual
manner. Neither is it interfered with
by these currents. No matter whether
there are two wires or two hundred by
the side of the track. Messages can be
sent or received ON the car without
confusion. All that is needed is to put
in the Edison instrument at any sta
ton along the road in order to estab-
fish communication. And this APP
paratus being near by the ordinary
telegraph instrument in the same

paratus. On the Staten Island rail-
road dispatches were sent and received
every day for week as rapidly as they
would be in the telegraph offices that
we commonly use which have direct
wire connection with other offices. The
marvel about this system is that it re-
quires no special wire, but enables the
transmission of messages along the
common wires and through the air
space between them and any moving
train, be the space fifty or even two
hundred feet wide. The secrets of the
Edison apparatus have not been di-
vulged, but it is known that it gives to
the electric current a musical tone
which is heard through telephone re-
ceivers. The dots and dashes of the
Morse alphabet are thus most audible
in short or long sounds, and the ordina-
ry telegraph key is used. Mr.. Edison
and his associates, William Wiley Smith
and Z. 7. Gilliland, are confident that
messages may be sent in this way to
stations one thousand miles distant, be-
cause the moment the current reaches
the wires it will run any distance with
out losing its efficacy. l attended the
public exhibition and noticed that there
was not the slightest hitch in the work.
ing. There are few skeptics, but the
prevailing opinion seems to be that this
practicable invention is going to be Of
great use in train-dispatching, newspa-
per reporting, police telegraph work
and ordinary business and travellers

not the best kind. Men ought to give at
