Religion and Joy.

It is question of the day whether our world is happy or miserable world. The answer depends very much upon when and where the query finds us. Who of us have not some times said: "1'he world is all wrong and wretched." But it was when our own spirit was full of evil and un- rest. There have been days when we have said: "The world is vale of tears; there are in it more sobs than smiles" But that was because our heart was aching, and our eyes were blinded with tears. Whenever we escape from ourselves, and with uniaundiced gaze look mother nature in the face, the world that looks back on us is a world where happiness out
 weighs evil and pleasure conquers pain. Were it otherwise the world

THE STORY OF A PICTURE.
BY CLAUDE M'CoRKLE.

Written after seeing the "SOmnambust" q picture painted by Miss Lizzie Cannon, teacher of Art in the Hope Female Institute.
 In the fall of lS-- l was in my twenty-iirst year and lived with my parents in the beautiful little town of Holly Springs, Mississippi. l had just graduated with some honors at Oxford, and was full of the conceits of a collegebred youth just entering upon the untried responsibilities of manhood l had as little of super stition in my makeup as possible to one who had sat at the fire in the negro quarters in slavery days and listened to the ghost stories of the old "uncles' and ''aunties, ' told in the flicker of a pine-knot fire on long winter nights.
 About that time my mother s brother, an old bachelor, who lived at Aberdeen, came to pay our family a visit. He was well read, man of close observation and had seen much of the world. We soon became fast friends, and when the time came for his departure for home he obtained my mothers consent (mine went for the asking) for me to accompany him. It was before the days of rail- roads in the south, at least there were but few of those great conven- fences to travel and traffic south of Mason's and DiXon's line, and when one wished to go journey he must needs either go in the numbering stage coach or by private convey ance. My uncle had ridden over land on horseback and we agreed to return the same way.
 We started one bright morning just as the sun "came peeping over the hills" and as we rode along the forest, way, at times only bridle- path, l looked about me at scene of beauty, almost of entertainment :; the foliage in varigated colors, the autumn leaves falling with q soft swish" like distant water, and l thought. as I have often since, that this is a beautiful world, and the re- pinings we often make of the ''ills and sorrows of mortal life" are re- nection upon the love and kindness of a bountiful Creator.
 Only stopping q few moments at noon to break our fast with dainty little luncheon my good mother had provided, ny night-fall we had cov- cred fully fifty miles of our journey. My uncle said that a mile or two fur ther on we would reach the home Of an old friend of his, under whose hospitable roof we would spend the night
 Just before reaching the honse we crossed swift running stream, on the banks of which, in full view of the road, was the ruins of an old fashioned water mill, and near 1t the pond, almost lake, still spanned by the crumbling remains of a bridge. The blanks were broken and covered with moss, and the sombre waters gurgled through the rotting tlmbers which supported them, sounding like departed life that once made the old mill scene of animation. On the hill above the stream we halted our tired horses in front of typical old southern home. A large rambling frame building. Two stories, with oables protecting here and there an d

 come worn out were misery, the pro- curess of death, stronger than bappi- 1 indeed, enough ot decay, and pain, and strife, and death. But these are not the substance of existence. They l are but the shadow of the sunlight, Spite the struggle for existence, the i prevalent aspect of the world of feet and fins and feathers is one not of l depression, hut of alert enjoyment and vitality. And humanity's bur i den of centuries of toil and sorrow has not broken the spring of joy in the heart of our race for still at is 1 fountain-head. as 1t bursts eager into existence. 1t sparklcs and bubbles with gladncss in the mirth and augh- ter and pure joy of living, of early childhood. The world is not a vale of tears. The gladncss is more than the sadness. and most of that is an accident. The face that looks at us out of nature in the song of the birds. the sweetness of the air, the glow of the sunlight, is a face of joy, and it's message to us is Rejoice ,'
 'I'b, al, z versal of natures ideal, but the ful- iilment of its purpose thwarted by sin. The aim of the Gospel is not to make men sad, but glad. It takes up the command of nature. repeats and cnforees it. Religion ought to he joy-giver, aye, a joy-heightencr. When nature said. "Rejoicc :" Christianity says: Rejoice ever more n' It takes the gladness of life and multiplies and transligures it's radiance, like the sunlight that streams through the painted panes of q cathedral window, till it's beams melt and glow and flame into gold and crimson glory. The effect of religion is not remote and random accompaniment, but necessary and essential attribute. The injunction of rejoicing is not cold permission or friendly counsel. but 1t is high and peremptory command. 1t stands in equal ranks with prayer and thanksgiving, and comes borne on the solemn tones of voice that says; This is the will of God in Jesus Christ concerning you" It is not thing you may choose or cschew, it is purpose of God, part of re- demption, a hcart.desire of Jcsus Christ, that your Christian life should he pervasively and persistently life of rejoicing.
 How much religion needs to be lit mp with joy! It is not enough to be good. Wemust be good attractlvclv. Piety that is laboriouS, strained, de- spondent, is like the air when it is empty of sunshine. We want to fight the good fight of faith hope fully, light-heartedly.

Sometimes from my hillside home among the Highlands on the Hudson l see, fifty miles away, obscured by haze and overhanging clouds, and partially yelled, perhaps in mist or rain, the distant outline of the Cats kill range; and then the vail is drawn aside, the turbaned mist is lifted off their foreheads. and that which before was dim and indistinct stands out against the dark back ground of sky in clear, intelligible outline, yet leaving all the dress of gray rock and green tree and foam ing cataract and dark gloom, and fitting sunshine breaking through the trees, to the imagination for at best it is only an outline that 1 see. So in the Old Testament l look upon the outline of my God yelled in cloud; in the New Testament the cloud is lifted, the mist is cleared away, and through an atmosphere like that of the most perfect October day 1 look on the same outline. dis tinct and beautiful against q heavenly background; and still it is but an outline that I see of the mystery and majesty of the nature l shall never know, never be able even to explore, until l stand in His presence, and am invited to know Him even as am known. - Lyman Abbott.

ECHOES OF THE PAST.
BY X. NJ.

 There moments in life which are never forgot Embalmcd in the memory like gems set in gold, Which add q new charm to the happicSt lot, And over liie'S storms like . rainbow unfold. There are moments in life which, hallowrd and
 bpst,
 Fer brighten and brighten as years glide away, Whose memory thrills with joy uncXprcs.cd, And gds with hopes glories life's loneliest day There are monicnt, in life which memory brings, Like garands of roses, to twine round the heart, Which bloom in that light which etcrnallv springs, And whose beauty and perfume will never depart. These moments are halowed by smiles and by
 tears,
 Like sunbeans and dew drops which freshen the
 flowers, While the full flush of joy transporting appears, When they come OCT the soul with magical
 power.
 In days that are darkest by fate ever given. These sacred remembrauccs necr can decay; A s cloud. darkv glow with the rainbow in heaven. So over life's sadness they shed glad ray. As fond nla'in prison or sweet vc,per chime, These echoes come ringing down lfes swelling
 stream,
 From the isle Long Ago" in inf,ncys cline, Where childhood off rcveed ill hopes golden These echoes ring swcetly from home and from
 hearth
 From school room and glen, from woodland and
 river,
 From bright scenes of glsdness whose beauty and
 worth
 Our early years knew to remember forever. These echoes ring swcctly from bower and grove, Where often we sat in the twilights soft beam, While soul spoke to soul in bright glances of love- When wrapt in the bliss of youths earliest
 dream, They come like the dawn in its loyclicst hue Their visions of beauty forever are playing Like sunbcams across yon empyrcan blue; Though wrapt oft in darkness, vet never decay
 ing.
 Like voice that is heard when the spirit is still When nothing s seen but the star woven sky, The echoing past speaks with magical thrill, And wakenS new hopes that are born not to die.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
1t VIII Not be Delivered Until Tuesday
Morning.

WASHINGTON, December 1st.-Owing to
the fact that the entire day to morrow will
be occupied by the organization of the new
House of Representatives, President Harri-
son message will not be sent to Congress
until Tuesday.
The annual report of Secretary Tracy
will be transmitted Wednesday noon.
The coming Congress will have brought
before it number of matters with which
the public has become well informed.
Among them are the Blair educational
bill; bills to forfeit land grants, general and
special; to declare trusts Unlawful; the de-
pendent pension bill; bills to repeal the
Civil Service and oleomargarine-tax laws,
and various measures relating to the tariff
international revenue and general financial
systems.
There will also be presented to the Sem
ate resolutions of Investigations made dur
ing the recess by several Commissions upon
the dressed beef business, the subject of ir-
rigating the arid land, the relation of the
Canadian Railroads to the interstate COM
merce law and the commercial relations
existing between the United States and
Canada, including the Alaskan seal fish
cries.
The silver question will speedily come
up in some shape.
The tripartite treaty with Great Britain
and Germany respecting the control and
direction of affairs in Samoa is the princi-
pal topic to be discussed under foreign
affairs, together with the proposed new
scheme 10 promote a commercial union
with Canada with view to its ultimate
annexation

LEAD ORES.
Congressman BaItine Interviews the
President on the Subject.

Congressman BaItine Interviews the
President on the Subject.
WASHINGTON, December 1st-Congress-
man Bartine, of Nevada, who was elected
delegate to the Silver Convention at St.
Louis, found it impossible to get away to
attend the meeting. Mr.. Bartine has taken
an active interest in the Speakership fight
and has given it particular attention in the
interest of the coast. 1t was absolutely
necessary that he should be present at the
caucus yesterday, and he gave up all idea
of going West.
Mr.. BarIine had an interview with Presi-
dent Harrison yesterday in relation to the
decision recently made by Secretary Win
dom on lead ore.
The President showed himself very
favorably disposed toward the lead ore pro-
d1cing States, and admitted the Justice OF
the complaints made by the representa-
tives of those States over Mexican and
Canadian competition.
He said, however, that it was rule with
the Administration not to disturb the rul-
ings.of its predecessors. aud that he could
not, therefore. make any recommendations
in his message. He thought the best thing
to be done with the matter was to secure
from Congress legislation bearing so thor
oughly upon the tariff upon this subject
that there could be no misconception on
the part of any of the department.

light as may be obtained as to the real ma
ture of the lands, whether mineral or not,
however difficult the inquiry may be, and
whatever responsibility is assumed.
1t is deemed best, however, that law
should be passed by Congress enabling the
Land Department to thoroughly investi-
gate the character of the lands supposed to
be mineral, and within the reservation of
the law before the railroad is entitled to
any cession whatever
1t would require considerable appropria-
ton for the purpose of investigation and
survey, and connected with this authority
should be given to the Secretary of the H.
terror to refuse to certify lands to railroads
until there was clear proof that the same
were not mineral
The question is most important. 1t is
far-reaching in its results, and may affect
the welfare and independence of many of
our citizens.
1t would not be unreasonable to direct
that the patents issued should themselves
contain reservation of any land therein
described if it proved upon further develop
ment to be actually mineral land.
The mineral land should be preserved
for our people, and there is no claim on the
part of herailroads to obtain these sources
of vast wealth not intended for them that
should be humored to the least degree be-
yond the law.
This 1 say in no spirit of hostility to rail-
road companies, bat from thorough convic-
tions that the best interests of the Republic
would be served by dividing this vast min
eral wealth among individuals.
The Secretary joins in the recommended
tions of the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs in relation to separating the Tule
River and Hoopa Valley Indian Agencies,
and in relation to the intruders on the
Round Valley Reservation.
He also recommends legislation TO pre-
serve the lands of the Mission Indians for
their use.
OF the attemps to secure the coal lands
on the San Carlos Reservation the report
says that if the inhabitants of Arizona need
the coal contained in these acres, for which
the Indians themselves have no use and
whicE they will neither work nor lease to
others, there should be some steps taken
by the Government to have the Indians
compensated to a reasonable degree, and
the lands brought into public use under the
laws as established.
OF the re-rating of pension cases, which
is discussed at length, the Secretary says
The intention is TO correct all of these
evils for the future under the present Com
uliSsloueI VI IeuslOuSI anu 81 idr Us tn6
law will allow to exact the return of money
which it has been found was Illegally paid
This will prove 4 tedious and somewhat
difficult undertaking. But in view of the
enormous sums of money that might have
been expended had not this evil been cor
rected at the time it was, the Government
may be well satisfied, think. even if it
should have to lose q large portion of that
already paid out.
and many of the recommendations sub
mitted by the Commissioner sustained.

of the country requires at least twenty-four
vessels for the coast and harbor defense.
Their employment-that of floating fort
resses-requires that they should have a
powerful battery and the heaviest of armor,
combined with moderate draft.
At the present time eight vessels of this
type are under construction, five of which
are reconstructed monitors.
This would make the future navy consist
of twenty battle ships, twenty coast defense
ships and sixty cruisers, or 100 vessels in
all, which is believed to be moderate esti-
mate of the proper strength Of the fleet.
OF the sixty cruisers required thirty-one
are now built or authorized. For the in
crease in the number of cruisers, which are
considered simply an auxiliary to the fight
ing force of battle ships, we may wisely
wait until the latter are IN process of con-
struction.
The question of site for the new North
west Navy Yard is discussed at length, the
Secretary making no choice between Point
Turner and Lake Washington.
The estimates for the fiscal year coming
are fixed at SIS, 100000.

The Republican Caucus Has But Bare
Quorum on Organization.

The Republican Caucus Has But Bare
Quorum on Organization.
WASHINGTON. December 1st.-The first
session of the ffty-first Congress will open
to morrow The general expectation is
that an adjournment will not be reached
until next fall, owing to the narrowness of
the Republican majority in the House and
the great number Of contested election cases.
The declared determination Of the Demo
Gratis is to resist the revision of the rules
and the passage of the Federal election law
and tariff bill framed on Republican princi-
pies.
The business of the day in the House will
be simply that of organization, which will
be effected by call of the roll by the hold
over Clerk of the House and the
ELECTION OF OFFICERS
In the usual manner, the Speaker first, and
in accordance with the declaration of the
caucus.
There will be no objection offered to
Reed of Maine for Speaker, Mcpherson of
Pennsylvania for Clerk, Holmes of Iowa
for Sergeant-at-Arms Adams of Maryland
for Doorkeeper and Wheat of Wisconsin
for Postmaster.
The Chsplaincy is in some doubt. The
caucus nominee is Rev. Charles Ramsdell,
of Washington, but there are several Re-
publicans inclined to vote for the retention
of Rev. Charles Milburn, OF Illinois, the
WELL KNOWN BLIND PREACHER,
Who will be the nominee of the Demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Milburn's afiiiction appeals to
the sympathy of most of the members in
spite of his politics, which are strongly
Democratic.
II is not expected the Democrats will
have chance to offer any opposition to
an organization by the Republicans. Bat
three Republicans were absent from the
caucus on Saturday, and two of those have
arrived since. The third is Congressman
WILDER. of New York, who is seriously i'll.
This indicates pretty full attendance of
the majority which, with the members
from the new States, will amount to 169
Republicans. The full membership of tie
House is now $50. the Democrats having
161 of this number. This gives the Repub-
licans majority of eight, but it does not
give them much over quorum. One-half
of $50 is 165, and quorum is 1866 The
Republicans thus have but three more
than quorum with a full attendance.
With Wilbur absent they will have but
two.
Should the Democrats refrain from
voting, ii will be necessary for every Re-
publican to be on hand. There will be
none to spare at any important crisis
1t is reported that point will be raised
against the successor of Congressman Nut
ting of New York, Mr.. Paine, who comes
with a certificate from the Secretary of
State, but without certification from the
State Board of Canvsssers. This State
Board does not meet until the middle of
December, and if the Democrats object to
swearing in the new member until he is
properly certified, the Republicans will
have but one over a quorum.
One of the new Democratic members,
Amos Cummings of New York, is in the
same boat with Payne.
