Pensions.

Albany Argus; While the Re-
publican leaders in Congress are
clamonng over tha Presidents pen
sion Yetoes and endeavoring to per-
suade the Union yete!ans that the
Democratic party is hostile to their
claims, it may be well TO remark
that during the fiscal year endidg
JUNO 80 there were issued 113,0S7
pension certificates, Of which 60,161
were original and and 52,026 in
crease pensions. The number Of
original pensions granted sxceeds
that Of any former year by nearly
5000. 1t may also be well to state
that the manager ofMr. Hariison's
canvass is the notorious Dudley,
Who used the pension Office as an
electioneering bureau, and whose
efforts were not alone devoted to
hulldoging Democratic soldiers into
voting for Republican candidates,
through fear Of not getting pensions
to which they we're justly entitled,
but who threatened Democratic sol
diers, after their rights had been
adjudicated, with a less Of such pen
sions as they enjoyed, in default of
contributing their ballots to the
perpetuatlon of the Republican par
ty in power.

A workers. Prayer.
Lord, speak to me, that may speak,
In living echoes Of Thy tone;
As Thou hast sought, so let me seek
Thy erring children, lost and lone.
Oh lead me, Lord, that may lead
The wandering and the wayering feet;
Oh, feed me, Lord, that I may feed
The hungering ones with mamma sweet.
Oh, strengthen me, that while stand
Firm on the rock, and strong in Thee
/ may stretch out loving hand
To wrestlers with the troubled sea.
Oh. teach me, Lord, that may teach
T,e precious things Thou dost impart;
/ nd wing my words, that they may reach
Inc hidden depths Of many heart.
Oh, give Thine own sweet rest to me,
That may speak with soothing power
A word in season, as from Thee,
To weary ones in needful hour.
Oh, fill me with Thy fullness, Lord,
Until my very heart o'erfow
In kindling thought and glowing word,
Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.
Oh, useme, Lord, use even me,
Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where,
Until Thy blessed face see .
Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.

Diamonds From the Sky.

Meteoric stones that sometimes fall to
the earth are the objects of special
study and thorough examination by
scientific men. TEey are all similar in,
their combination of material or sub.
stance. But occasionally new facts are
developed. In one stone was found Or
ganic remains showing the former exist
ence of animal life. In another that fell
in Siberia September 4, 1886, weighing
about four pounds, were found small
diamonds. A small fragment of the
stone was sent to Mr.. George F. Kuntz,
who is with Tiffany & Co., New York.
he found minute diamonds that were
real stones, because they would scratch
sapphires, diamonds being the only sub
stance that can produce scratch on tho
polished surface of sapphire.

The sI,..ion Of the Church of Christ

The Mission Of the Church of Christ.
In discussion of this topic in the Homi-
letic Review, Rev. ]. E. Twitchell, D. D.,
presents quite forcibly and opportunely the
mission Of the church in holding forth the
word Of life. Pastors and people are not to
wait for the careless and unconcerned to come
to them. They are to search for the lost sheep,
unless this is done the lost will not be found.
Each member Of the church is to be wit
ness and light bearer. Here is field for
the Young Mems Christian Associations, and
the societies Of Christian Endeayor in which
they may work individually and indefinitely.
To leave this field for social entertainments
and public exhibitions for popular favor will
be sad mistake. 20 -:
This holding forth the word Of life by the
churches naturally leads out to the evange!i;;
zation Of the world. History shows this will
be accomplished only as the church does it.
Human philosophy has given birth to no
system of saving truth. To every local
church and to every individual member Is
given share in the commissioned agency by
which the kingdoms Of this world are to be-
come the kingdoms of our Lord and OF his
Christ. Hartford Rel. Herald,

The Hardy Mexican Burros.

Is is q source of wonder how the peo-
ple of towns like Las Vigiles live. They
have no manufactures, they produce
nothing to sell, and yet tthey live and
have their being and are seemingly con-
tent. One or two Mexicans have burros5
to rent, and they derive some incomeS
from the tourists who visit the Las Vegas
hot springs, the great health resort OF
New Mexico, which is very; near Las;
Vigiles. Nearly every family, however
owns Z a burro for its own use. Tho
animal Is never fed; he lives on what he
can pick up. He Is patient and docile,l
and the far-sway look of sadness IN hisii
eve would melt a heart of stone. he
has uncommon endurance and can carry
load as great In bulk as his own body
legs and ali. When the Mexican needs
firewood he mounts his burro and rides
up into the mountains over paths along
precipices where it chills the blood to:
look down into the abyss. for the burro3
is the surest-footed animal in the world,
and his unshod hoofs win pick out 9 So
cure foothold almost anywhere-unhl ne
finds some tree blown down by the.
storm. Here he cuts great mass OF
fagots, which he ties on to the burfo'si
back by the means of strong cords, and
they return homeward. An average
sized buro can carry wood enough to
last a Mexican family q fortnight, and,
when the master understands thoroughly
the art of tyinga ''pack," the burro pre-
sents the oddest-looking speclaele'
imaginable, as he picks his way over the
rocks and through the ravines. .-A!antGii
