What Good Without Peace!

Peace, Peace. the Prince of Peace,
and he is our eXemplar, and he is our
peace, the first expression of pardon is
peace, the first fruit Of the Spirit is
peace, and great peace is the constant
experience of the loyal, loving heart.
TO be peaceful among the jarring ele-
ments of this life Is wonder of grace,
yea gracious wonder alike to the re-
cipient and to the beholder. "Peace
be STILL" is ever an astonishment even
to the disciples of Jesus whether spok-
ell to the angry elements in nature or
to the raging passions in man. Yea.
an astonishment because they hear
and obey. How much we need the
sanctifying influences of the Spirit to
apprehend the truth, this truth in all
of its fulness and freeness. Take away
from the church to-day the taunt, the
sneer, the reproach that the professors
of the peace loving Savior use toward
each other and this before q gainsay-
ing world, and we should behold her
clothed in the beautiful robes of right
eousness. "Who when he was revil-
ed, reviled not again; when he suffer
ed he threatened not" and this for
peace sake. Did any have more
righteous cause than Jesus? Might
he not defend himself from the revil
ings of his foes in suffering? Might
he not ut least free himself? The
"first Jaw of natureo SO called would
it not assert itself now? would not the
fire that devoured the adversaries and
the earth that swallowed the presump-
tious sinner, in the old time at his cry
consume them from the face of the
earth? The cry came but it was the
cry of peace "Father forgive them"
This with his other cry "It is finish

Selections from The Christian NGighbOr.
A Divine Quorum.

For where two or three are gathered
together in my name, there am l in
the midst of them. Matthew rviH %.
What an encouragement-not to
have small congregation-but to a
small congregation-'two or three"-a
scriptural quorum for either family,
social or congregational worship. In
nay ,aanae-not to see and be seen, not
to hear the neighborhood news, not
with the purpose of transacting little
secular business, rot expecting to meet
some particular person, not to pass
away the time, not because it is ex-
pected or customary and that thereby
one may give ease to and secure ap-
proval from a formality conscience
that whispers, I have been to church
to-day.
The "two or three" may be men or
they may be women. They may be
rich or poor, they may be learned or
unlearned, they may be old or young
or middle aged, they may be carpen-
tiers, farmers, lawyers, doctors, mer-
chants, day-laborers, cooks, washer
women, hostlers, boot-blacks, legisla-
tors, congressman, judges or govern
ors. It matters not who the "two or
three are if they meet in the name OF
Jesus-expecting and preparing to
meet with him who is the life, the
truth and the way.
"Where"-In the "church" or meet
ing house, in neighbours house, in an
upper room, in the grove or in any 9TH
er place-'aUhere"-"there"-lPh Where
they are gathered together, there am l
in the midst of them, to extend mercy
and to bestow grace to help in time OF
need.
If Jesus is found to be there then
shall the "two or three" be able to say,
ut is good for US to be here" If Je-
sus be not in the midst of them, who
have met together, there is something
sUrong: not in the place of meeting,
nor in the number of those who have
met, but one or more of those present
have failed in conforming to the char
acter of those in the midst of whom
Jesus declares he will be. If Jesus be
not "in the midst" of them who meet
together, then it is certain they have
not met in his name.
Application If Jesus be not in the
midst let each of those present see if
there be not in him some iniquity
which has been so displeasing to Jesus
as to keep him away. Let the prayer
be, "Search me, o God, and know my
heart: try me, and know my thoughts
and see if there be any wicked way in
me, and lead me in the way everlast-

The Horse Of Neggdah.
AN EXQUISITE STORY.

La1nartine, the great Eastern trav-
eler, relates the following exquisite
story:
In the tribe of Neggdah, there was
horse whose fame had spread far and
near, and Bedouin of another tribe,
by name Daher, desired extremely to
possess it. Having offered in vain Tor
It his camels and whole wealth, he nit
at length upon the following device, by
which he hoped to gain the object OF
his desire: He resolved to stain his
face with the juice of an herb, to
clothe himself in rags, to tie his legs
and neck together, so rs to appear like
a lame beggar. Thus equipped, he
went to wait for Nabor, the owner OF
the horse, whom he knew was to pass
that way.
When he saw Nabor approaching on
his beautiful steed, he cried out in 4
weak voice:
II am q poor stranger, for three
days have been unable to move from
this spot to seek for food. 1 am dy-
ing. Help me, and heaven will re-
ward you"
The Bedouin kindly offered to take
him on his horse and carry him home,
but the rogue replied:
81 cannot rise; 1 have no strength
left.n
Nabor, touched with pity, dismount-
ed, led his horse to the spot, and with
great difficulty set tue seeming beggal
on his back. But no sooner did Dahel
feel himself in the saddle than he set
spurs to the horse and galloped of,
calling out as he did so:
1T is I, Daher; have got the horse
and am off with it,"
Nabor called after him to stop and
listen. Certain of not being persued,
he turned and halted at a short dis
tance from Nabor, who was armed
with spear.
"You have taken my horse" said
the latter. "Since heaven has willed
it, I wish you joy of it; but I do con-
jure you never to tell anyone how you
obtained it,"
"And why not? said Daher.
Because" said the noble Arab
"another man might be truly i'll, and
men fear him. You might be the
cause of many refusing to do an act OF
; charity, for fear of being duped as ]
have been."
Struck with shame at these words,
Daher was silent for a moment, then
springing from the horse, and en-
bracing its owner, returned it to him
Nabor made him accompany him tc
. his tent, where they spent some days
together, and became fast friends fol
, life.
This beautiful instance of showing
kindness to enemies, and taking the
spelling of our goods joyfully, as very
noble in one who has never learned
the principles of self-denial and for
giveness from the Gospel of Christ.
And it is shame to those who pro.
fess to follow the example of holy Je.
sus, that they are so often selfish and
revengeful, and impatient, and so fire.

DO What Good You Can.

Whether the world is getting worse
are or growing better and whether
people be optimists or pessimists it is
the present and pressingduty OF every
person living to do all in his power to
make the world better-to reduce or
abolish evil and to increase aud estab-
lish whatsoever things are true,
Whatsoever things are honest, whatso-
ever thigs are pure, whatsoever things
are lovely, whatsoeves things are of
good report"
Every one can ido something to de-
crease evil or to promote good. Jesus
said of the woman who anionted his
head with very precious ointment,
"She hath done what she could" A
certain poor widow cast into the treas
ury "two mites" all her living. Let
no one add falsehood to wicked sloth-
fulness by saying" I can do moth
ing"
Is there any one line of life more
comprehensive and certain of good
than that specified and enjoincd in the
Christian Scriptures by many such
sentences as these three? "Let us
therefore follow after the things
which make for peace, and things
wherewith one may edify another"
"Follow peace with all men and holi-
ness, without which no man shall see
the I.ord.n "See that none render evil
for evil unto any man; but ever fol-
low that which is good, both among
yourselves, and to all men,"

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN ROADS.

What Experiment Has Proved - Some
Opinions from lshods lsiAud.
Experiments on the amount OF tractive
force required TO move load show that
it will take eight horses to draw truck
and losd weighing 1900 pounds on firm
soil covered with gravel four to six
inches deep. On earth embankment in
good condition the work can be done by
d force equaling two and one-half horses.
On broken stone road In good condition
the same load can he hauled by force
Of one and one quarter horses, and on the
same road in bad condition, with ruts
four TO four and one-half inches deep
and thick mud, five horses will be re-
quired. But on a good, dry pavement
one good horse can move the same load
all day.
On the subject Of good and bad roads
the following from the pen of the late
Dr. j. q. Holland draws q comparison
unfavorable to the existing road system
In America:

The rest had persisted, and their bodies
had been consigned to the waters OF the

Still the awful march continued. The
only hope was to reach the grass lands,
and on the glorious day when the last
barrier was burst and they saw the
boundless stretch Of plain the surviving
Zanzibaris simply went mad with joy.
But more perils were yet to come. One
OF Stanley's lieutenants says:
"a few days after the expedition

It entered the country belonging to
chief called Majamboni. Tho natives,
instead Of running away, began 70 col
lect on the hillsides near tho line OF
march, evidently with the idea OF at

for us to take up come strong position
and inclose ourselves In u zareba. Ac.
cordingly we selected hilltop, and built
strong xareba Of minosa bushes, and
then felt able to sally out and punish tho
natives. After some feints on
the part Of Majamboni's warriors on our
position two parties were sent out under
Mr.. Jephson and Lieut.. Stairs. The
party under Stairs went toward the
north, across the valley to the villages
north Of the stream, and while actually
crossing II were fired upon by crowds Of
natives hidden among the bananas.
However, the stream was crossed. the
natives dislodged and the villages burnt
"Ths party under Mr.. Jephson had
taken northeast direction, and, return
ing home by different route, had burnt
every hut to the east and northeast OF
our position. This had the desired
effect. We could see large bodies OF
natives retiring behind the hills to the
north, and next day we Were permitted
70 march onward to the Lake without

GROUND FLOOR.

In the plan here given the change has been
made so that the hall has relatively the same
position that had the sitting room In the past,
though it Is by no means as large. 1t is es-
sentially stair hall, and incidentally a pas
sage. As placed, we may enter it from the
parlor, sitting room, dining room or kitchen
Its position Is central. There are two doors
between this stair hall and the kitchen. The
central position OF the stairway has other
advantages than those Just stated. 1t makes
long halls on the second floor entirely unne-
cessary. As will be seen by looking at the
fioor plan, 1t gives two good bedrooms In
front.
The dining room Is Immediately In the rear
Of the sitting room. There may be sliding
doors connecting these two rooms. One door
three and half feet wide usually makes suf-
fciently large opening for the dining room
connection. There are sliding doors between
the parlor and sitting room, and dining room
and sitting room, as shown. The kitchen has
the advantage Of a certain amount Of isola.
tion from the rest Of the house, for the reason
that there are two doors between 1t and any
other ROOM The pantries are arranged with
reference to their most convenient use. In
