THERE IS NO DEATH.

There is no death, The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine fcrevermore.
There is no death, The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower:
To golden rain or mellow fruit
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear;
Tho forest leaves drink daily lie
From out the viewless air.
There is no death. The leaves may fall,
The flowers fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming of the May.
THERE'S no death, An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best beloved things away,
And then we call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all desolate;
BE plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers
Transplanted into bliss they nowV
Adorn immortal bowers.
The birdlike voice, whose joyous tones
Make glad this scene of sin and strife,
Sings now her everlasting song
Amid the Tree of Life.
And when He sees smile too bright
Or hearts too pure for taint of vice.
he bears it to that world Of light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave US but to come again;
With JOY we welcome them-ths same
Except in sin andpain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is Life-there are no dead

YESTERDAYS SERMON.
The Bread of Life as Broken From
the Morning Pulpit.

The future will bring mankind the
same great wants, struggles and ills
which destroy the body to-day, and
open the thousand doors which lead to
death. Despite these facts, men con-
tinue to provide for the certainties and
contingencies of the body. whilst little
or no heed is given to the future of the
soul: and yet the most solemn voices
that speak from within and above de-
clare that prepa alton for the future
should be the chief business of this life.
Salvation is great because it delivers us
from sin, and is efficacious to the last
extremity. How often is the physician
compelled to say. "Too late! Life is
there, but death has the ascendency in
the struggle" A day or an hour sooner
and the learned doctor could have
helpless, and must see the one whom
he fain would succor succ to death.
But with the Great Physician it is never
too late. He never says, lyon must
die," but pleadingly asks: "Why will
ye die?" Other deliverances are only
temporary, but salvation produces
lasting effect, and, when the redeemed
touch the other shore peril is at an
end. No enemy is found lurking amid
the flowers of paradise to tempt
souls, for nothing that defleth shall
enter there. GroanS and tears, sick
beds and graves shall never be known
in that land of light and life. The
salvation of Jesus may become the COM
mon property of all who wish to be
saved, for the gospel river of life does
not branch off into various streams, it
cannot be made to flow into a broader
and deeper channel by the mansions of
the rich than by the cottage of the poor.
You must not neglect the opportunity
to embrace salvation. Suppose you
find yourself at last in utter darkness,
because you neglected that which had
been pressed upon your acceptance
week after week during all the years of
this life. Some may expect to escape
by trusting to their own character
beautitied by deeds of kindness and
charity. They trust in their own good
name, and not in Gods. But a moral
life alone will not tit the soul for
heaven.

ORIGIN OF THE CHURCH.
Early History and Tncumbents of
the Pulpit.

The founder and first minister Of the
church was Rev. Edward d. Neill, who
came to st. Paul in 1S49 in obedience to
the instructions of the Presbytery of
Galena, with which the territory of
Minnesota was enthusiastically con-
nected. During the summer of 1854,
while seated with young companion
upon the beautiful bluff where the
costly residences of Summit avenue
now Stand-then in undisturbed prime
val beauty-it was remarked by Mr..
Neill and his friend that at no distant
day there would be sufficient pOpula-
tion upon the plateau beneath to war
rant the erection of another church edi-
fee. Just then and there the House of
Hope church was conceived. Soon
after this conversation Mr.. Neill deter
mined to resign the pulpit of the First
Presbyterian church, and while he
favorite projects of Christian educa-
ton, promote also the cause of church
extension in the upper part of tine city.
November %, 1855, DR.. Neill issued
the following:
"The Presbyterian mission. which was
commenced in April. 1S49, and discontinued
in consequence of the formation of the First
Presbyterian church on November 26 of the
same year, will be resumed by the Rev. Ed
ward D. Neill. AS the only part of the city
entirely destitute of church privileges is that
beyond Eagle street, services will be held
every Sunday afternoon at 3:15 in the
lower room of the district school house on
Walnut street, near Fort, commencing No
vember 25, 1856.
Service was held according to an
nouncement Nov. 25, 1854, the audience
from the outset being Unexpectedly
large. and ere month had elapsed it
was deemed advisable to effect perma-
nent organization. The original MEM
bers were j. 81. Stewart, NJ. d., Mrs.
w. l.. Banning, Mrs. Henrietta Col
grave and Mrs. Edward ID. Neill.
The church thus organized chose for
its name The House of Hope, after the
old Dutch redoubt. which in the seven
teenth century stood upon the site of
the present city of Hartford, Conn. The
precise words were suggested by the
"voyages of De Vries," Dutch cap

Special to the Globe.

Specialize the GLOBE.
HELENA, Mont, Jan. 27.-The news
reached this city to-day of an attempt
to poison three men at ranch in High
wood Valley. Wednesday night, John
and James Thaine, brothers, and Cor
nelius Thorpe, went away from home to
attend a dance, leaving their house un-
occupied. Some one took this occasion
to attempt to murder the three
men by poisoning their food. The
men returned home during the night
and next morning ate breakfast and
went to work. Shortly afterward John
Thaine was suddenly taken very sick
and exhibited unmistakable signs of
having been poisoned. Neighbors hap
pened to be with him at the time and
administered antidotes, and by hard
work. saved Thames life. About the
same time it was discovered that two
horses in the stable were in
the paroxysms of death from poi
son, and in sort time were
dead. Not until Friday morning did
James Thaine get dose of the poison.
He had closer call than his brother,
having suffered several spasms. Close
investigation revealed grains of crystal
strychnine in the sugar bowl. A test
was made by putting some grains in a
small piece of meat and feeding it to
the cat, which died in few moments.
The men say they never had any per-

A BOY FIEN.D
Attempts to Murder a Whole
Family.

Family.
LANSING. Mich, Jan. 27.-A horrible
murder was committed last night in
Delphi township, about seven miles
from this city. Christian StOchal, a
Polander. resides on small farm near
Holt with his family, consisting of his
wife, aged sixty-three years, his son
Fred, aged twenty, and Minnie Faltz,
his thirteen-year-old granddaughter.
Stochal went to bed about s o'clock last
night in the only room in the cabin.
Minnie retired short time later to an
other bed. and her grandmother was dis
rObing, when a shotgun was discharged
just outside the east window of the cabin.
The shot crashed through the glass and
struck Mrs. Stochal over the heart.
Minnie Sprang up in bed at the sound
of the shot and the gun was discharged
a second time, the load striking the
child in the breast. Minnie sprang up
a ladder in the cornereof the room to
the loft above, and her grandmother
was attempting to follow her when a
third load of shot struck the old woman
In the back, and she fell down the lad
der to the floor dead. AS Stoclal
sprang up, dazed with sleep, fourth
shot struck him in the head, though but
few shot hit him.. Stochal crawled
out of bed, and, seeing the murderer
standing several rods from the house,
slipped off in another direction. and,
barefooted and clad only in shirt and
drawers. ran through tamarack

were telegraphed to from Holt, and
this morning. 1t required very little
time TO convince them who the mur-
derer was almost beyond the possibility
of doubt. August Tanto, nineteen
years old, who is acquainted with the
Stochals, yesterday borrowed Win
chester repeating rifle. Young
Tanto filled the chamber of the
gun with cartridges. loaded with
bird shot, and went to Stochal's, where
he remained from to O'Clock
in the afternoon. He then left,
saying he was going to Charles
Cfantz's house, but, instead, the
officers found that he hid behind a
haystack ten rods from the cabin, to
which he afterwards returned by cir
cuitous route, as shown by the tracks.
Outside the window were found two
empty shells and one loaded.
which corresponded exactly with
the shells Tanto had secured.
After the shooting Tanto went to Hollis
station, three miles away, and bought a
ticket to Mason, going south on the $50
Michigan Central passenger train. He
has not yet been apprehended. Fred
Stochal came to Lansing Friday, and
has since been staying with friends
here. He was arrested to-day, and is
detained on suspicion of being impli-
Gated with Tanto in involving the
crime. Minnie is in precarieus condi-
ton, but may recover. Mr.. Stochal is
not seriously injured.

conceal his stealings from the company
for nine years and get IL per cent of the
entire surplus fund before being dis
covered. The late developments show
that not only Moore, but men who were
in his employ, were, with his knowl-
edge, doing a little stealing OH their
own account. When property owned
by the company was repaired or I'M
proved, they would arrange with the
contractor for the work to add Is or 25
per cent to the bill, which would be de-
Quoted by them from the payments. and
in this way many thousands OF dol
lars were secured, of which it is i'm
possible for the company to now find
any trace. A contractor, to whom such
a proposition was made, reported the
matter to Moore and never received any
response. When Moore failed in 1878
for several hundred thousand dollars
he was largely indebted to the company,
but it is supposed that an arrangement
was made by which he should pay his

pany. He drew $1,000 of 1t, and Moore
told him that the other $1,000 had not
been sent. The borrower wrote to the
company, and through the correspon-
dence that followed it was disclosed
that Moore from the beginning had pos
session of the $4,000 and that he was
holding back the $1,000. Moore's book
keeper has been aware of the condition
of affairs for years, and others have had
knowledge of his shortage. He is still
