Had an Eye on Him.

business man to another. d" Yes, /

trusty young man in my store. They
are hard to find. If this is the real
thing with him he will be just the man
/ want. I've kept my eye on him ever
since heard of it. I'm watching him
closely" So young Brown went in
and out of the store and up and down
the street. He mixed with his old as
sociates, and all the time Mr.. Todd had
an eye on him. He watched how the
young man bore the sneer of being
Zone of the saints" if he stood up
manfully for his new Master and was
not afraid to show his colors. Although
Mr.. Todd took rides, went to church
or did what he pleased on Sunday, he
was very glad to see that Brown rested
on the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Though the Wednesday evening bell
never drew the merchant to prayer
meeting, he watched to see if Brown
passed by. Sometimes he said: Where
are you going, Brown ?' and always
received the prompt answer: TO
prayer-meeting" Browns father and
his teacher were both questioned
as to how the lad was getting on. For
a year or more Todd's eyes were on
Brown. Then he said to himself:
" He'll do. He is real Christian. |
can trust him. / can afford to pay him.
He shall have good place in my store"
Thus, young Christians, others watch
to see if you are true, if you'll do for
places of trust. The world has its cold,
calculating eye on you, to see if your
religion is real or if you are just ready
to turn back. The work is pleasant
and the pay good. These places may
be for you when, through his strength,
you have proved yourself true. Fix
an eye on him and he will keep you in
the way.-Selected.

The Engine that Did Not Run
on Sunday.

The recent death of Hon. George II.
Corliss of Providence recalls his refusal
to allow his famous engine to run on
Sunday at the centennial exhibition in
Philadelphia in 1876. A word or two
about this engine may not be out of
place. Not long after the decision was
reached to hold the exhibition Mr..
Corliss submitted plans for an engine
of fourteen hundred horsepower to
move the machinery in Machinery
Hall" His plans were received with
opposition and he withdrew them. He
then sent out circulars to the best
known builders of steam engines, boil
ers and shaftings, asking them at what
price they would furnish them for the
exhibition. From the answers received
it was found that the combined power
of all the machinery offered fell short
of the required amount" Mr.. Corliss
was then asked to renew his offer.
This he did, and as soon as the work
could be completed the engine was
taken from his works in Providence to
Philadelphia. We are told that the
cost of this undertaking, over and
above other aid furnished, amounted
to over 100000, making it the most
princely contribution ever made by one
individual to an international exhibit
ton. The highest authority places the
centennial engine among the greatest
works of the day" in every detail
masterpiece" 1t may be remembered
by some of the readers of this article
that it was proposed to open the
centennial to the public on Sunday.
The old plea was urged which the
breakers of the Sabbath are always
putting forth, that a Sunday exhibit
ton would be of great interest and use
full service to the working-people. The
excitement awakened in all directions
by the discussion of the question was
very great A large number of Gre
spectacle people" demanded the Sun
day exhibition. Calmly, but unflinch-
ingly, Mr.. Corliss met the question
and compelled the managers to come to
halt by declaring that he would " shut
his engine down, and it should not
make another revolution during the
exhibition if the Sunday law was
enough for well-to-do people, who
could visit the exhibition at any time,
to take stand against the Sunday
opening, Dul III was ndru LOT tne poor
not only to be compelled to pay the en-
trance fee but to lose their weekday
earnings. Mr.. Corliss squarely met the
objection by saying that, so far as he
was concerned, he should urge the OBJ
servance of what in derison was called
the Puritan Sabbath because of the
jealous regard he had for the welfare
of the poor working-men themselves.
Just so sure" said he, " as you break
over the line of the Sabbath you have
condemned the poor to seven days
work instead of six, as witnesses every
employment where, by tacit under
standing, work is carried on seven days
in the week" No doubt Mr.. Corliss
was declared to be pig-headed and OBJ
stinate, but he carried his point. There
was no Sunday exhibition, and he had
the hearty thanks of the lovers of the
old-fashioned Sabbath and the no less
hearty thanks of the overworked and
often dreadfully jaded managers of the
details of the great centennial exhibition
for securing for them a day of rest

A Private Word of Advice.

Why are some good people never
able to get on with other good people?
Evidently one or both parties have an
obscure corner or two to clean. Along
with sterling virtues and many good
qualities they may be too self-willed,
opiniated, or have some unpleasant odd
cranks or twists, or may be they are
what the Scotch call pernickety," too
particular, having one or more small ,
disagreeabe ways and bothersome lit
tie formal rules of life which are as I'M
alterable as the laws of the Modes and
Persians-things which are no great
harm in themselves, but which are a
great bore to those who have to put up
with them, and especially to those who
have TO serve them. / believe if they
had to stand the same thing from others
they would find it about as irksome as
wearing strait-jacket. go, well, :"
you say, " of course it isn't nice among
our acquaintance; but aren't servants
hired to do our work?" Certainly; but
they are not hired to put up with your
irritating peculiarities as well. Try to
put yourselves in their place, and how
would it feel to meekly bear it all? Re-
member, "as ye would that others
should do unto you do We even so unto
them" That is the rule, and in its APP
plication the Bible draws no line where
to stop; it includes all. BY walking in
an atmosphere of Christian politeness
instead of keeping ourselves and others
in hot water we shall find that with
few exceptions we can get on smoothly
with others; for, with what measure
we mete it shall be measured to you
again mot doubt of little QmUer.

Neutral Ground.

In the social life of a village it is an
excellent thing if one family of in
fluence disregards all differences among
neighbors and makes its parlors neutral
ground, where all may meet as honored
guests. For years Northampton had
this sort OF neutral ground in the par
Tors of Mrs. Judge LYMAN. Her house
was noted as the one mansion in the
village the door of which always opened
to any one who knocked and where the
mistress never recognized differences
between neighbors. The villagers were
early risers and did much of their days
work before breakfast in the summer
time. One morning Mrs. Lyman was
sweeping her parlors as an old friend
passed with a basket of eggs and
stopped for chat. Mrs. Lyman"
she called out, " hear you have in
vited the AS and the BIS to your
party. Didn't you know they didn't
speak, and won't it be little awkward?"
don't know anything about people
who don't speak! was the quick reply,
and she swept more vigorously In few
minutes another friend looked in at the
window and repeated the information
given by the earlier caller. "They
don't speak to one another" said she,
" and haven't these six months"
Who knows when they will, if no one
ever gives them the chancel" she
answered, emphasizing her words with
vigorous thrusts of the broom. Mrs.
Lymanl Mrs. Lymanl" called out the
CHEEKY voice of girl on her way to
catch the early mail, and she, toe, re-
peated, They don't speak" Leaving
everything the aroused woman went to
the door, laid her hand on the girls
shoulder and said: "See here G, you
are young, very young indeed; did
you ever hear that when two countries
are at war third country is always
selected which they call neutral ground?
Now am perfectly willing to have
my parlors stand for neutral ground,
but you need not tell any one that
said so. And there's another thing
want to tell you: when you have

Prevailing Prayer.

Prayer is a living heart that speaks in
living ear-the ear of the living God.
Take care that nothing comes be-
tween you and the hours devoted to
God. Think of Daniel, prime minister
OF Persia, with the affair of one hun
dred twenty provinces resting on his
mind, yet finding time to 90 into his
chamber three times a day that he
Think of Alfred, with the cares of a
monarchy; of Luther, buffeted by the
storms of papal wrath; of Thornton,
encompassed by thousand mercantile
engagements, yet never allowing the
hurry of business to intrude on the
regular hours of devotion. Think of
the whole vast multitude of servants
and disciples and witnesses for God
whose lives have been spent in earnest,
fervent, importunate prayer. To pre-
sent petition is one thing, to prose-
cute suit is another. Most prayers
answer to the former, but successful
prayer corresponds to the latter. Gods
people frequently lodge their petition in
the court of heaven, and there they
let it lie. They do not press their suit.
They do not employ other means of
furthering it beyond the presenting of
it. The whole of prayer does not con-
sist in taking hold of God. The main
matter is holding on. How many are
induced by the slightest appearance of
repulse to let 90, as Jacob did not! |
have been struck with the manner in
which petitions are usually concluded
. And your petitioners will ever pray"
SO :" men ought always to pray to God
and never faint" Payson says, "The
promise of God is not to the act but to
the habit of prayer. "-Selected.
