Saturday night the choir used to as

it was not a choir of earth that she

that Jesus sometimes sets ajar the door
of heaven, and passage of that rapture
greets our ears. The minstrels of heaven
strike such tremendous strain the
walls of jasper cannot hold it.
I wonder, will you sing that song?
Will sing it? Not unless our sins are
pardoned, and we learn now to sing the
praise of Christ, will we ever sing it
there. The first great concert that
ever attended was in New York, when
Julien, in the Crystal Palace, stood be-
fore hundreds of singers and hundreds of
players upon instruments. Some of you
may remember that occasion; it was the
first one of the kind at which l was
present, and I shall never forget it. I
saw that one man standing, and with the
hand and foot WELD that great harmony,
beating the time. 1t was to me over
whelming. But oh, the grander scene
when they shall come from the east, and
from the west, and from the north, and
from the south, "a q eat multitude that
no man can number, y into the temple of
the skies, host beyond host, rank beyond
rank, gallery above gallery, and Jesus
shall stand before that great host to con-
duct the harmony, with his wounded
hands and his wounded feet! Like the
voice of many waters, like the voice Of
mighty thunderings,> they shall cry,
"Worthv is the lamb that was slain to
receive blessings, and riches, and honor,
and glory, and power, world without
end. Amen and amenr' Oh, if my ear
shall hear no other sweet sounds, may
hear that! If l join no other glad as

The coolies work excellently. They
are picturesque additions to the land

and graceful drapery of India. The grave
dignity Of their faces contrasts remark
ably with the broad, good humored, but
common features of the African. The
black women look with envy at the
straight hair of Asia, and twist their un.
happy wool into knots and ropes in
vain hope OF being mistaken for the
ptrer race; but this is all. The African

To Keep Butter Fresh.

Pierre Grosnlo of Vervier, France, has
discovered harmless process of keeping
butter perfectly sweet and fresh for an
indefinite length of time, and without its
being unfavorably affected by heat A
solution of small amount of salicylic
acid in Tactic well mixed with butter is
the simple agent employed. his discov-
cry is important from the fact that il
provides way to ship butter to people
in tropical climates with an assurance
that it will reach them in good condition

The Crown Princes Kindly Heart.

The sweet and kindly spirit which
sparkles in his eye when he speaks with
children brings him very near, not only
to the hearts, of his small interlocutors,
but also to those of their parents. An
eye witness relates an anecdote that is
charmingly characteristic. The prince
noticed, during state banquet, that the
court pages (who are boys of noble fam
lily, from 10 to Is years old) cast longing
eyes toward the sweetmeats. He sum-
moned half dozen of them, made them
stand in a row, and threw bonbons into
their open mouths. Having taken the
edge off their appetite, he stuffed their
pockets, and sent them ON their way res

A Lion of Literary Circles.

Frank r. Stockton is at present the
lion of literary circles in Washington.
Every device is used to persuade him to
inform a curious world whether it was
the lady or the tiger which issued from
the door. His wife tells Of Boston host
ess who had planned to trap the author
in the following ways She invited Mr.. and
Mrs. Stockton to dinner, and intended to
have the ice cream in two molds-one
in the shape of lady and the other

Mr.. Stockton from which design he
would take his cream. By some chance,
however, the dinner never came off, and
the great question Is still unanswered
