Usefulness OutIiyed.

The Cumberland Neos complains
that Gov. Jackson was coolly treated
in Cumberland Tuesday, His Excel
lency having stopped there on his way
from Bedford, Pa, to Annapolis.
The same fate awaits Frank Brown
when the people who handle him find
that even his money will be no excuse
for longer fosting him upon public
notice.
The more so, when the poor, de-
luded, misguided farmers learn that
he can do more for them than jackson
has accomplished for the lumbermen.

Wanted, Obedience.

Professor Faraday understood and
made use of the habit of unquestioning
obedience which a man acquires in the
army. When he was preparing to lee
ture on natural science at the Royal In
stitution, he advertised for a retired
sergeant to help him with his expert
ments. Being asked why he sought for
military man, he explained that some
of the materials that would be used
were dangerous, and that therefore he
wanted an assistant-not one who
would follow his own ignorant judg-
ment, and blow up himself, the pro-
fessor and the audience, but one who
would do exactly what he was told, and
nothing else. If obedience has a
marketable value in almost every call
ing and profession in this world, why
should we think, as we sometimes do,
that anything can become a substitute
for it in our heavenly calling? To obey
is better than sacrifice. God will have
nothing short of prompt, implicit ODE
dience from his children.-Selected.

They Recognized Him.

The visitor from Maverick had been
invited to address the Sunday-school.
81 have been reminded, Children"
he said, 6" of the career of a boy who
was once no larger than some of the
little fellows see here before me. He
played truant when he was sent to
school, went fishing every Sunday, ran
away from home before he was ten
years old, learned to smoke, drink,
chew tobacco, play cards and slip in
under the canvas when the circus came
around. He went into bad company,
frequented livery stables and low bar
rooms, finally he became a pickpocket,
then a forger, then thief, and one day,
in fit of drunkenness, he committed
very cowardly murder. Children"
he continued, impressively, "where
do you think that boy is now?"
"He stands before usw guessed the
children, with one voice.

The Best Recipe for Rest.

There is nothing which will give a
chance for rest TO over-tired nerves so
surely as simple religious faith in the
overruling, wise, and tender Providence
which has us in its keeping. 1t is in
chafing against the conditions of our
lives that we tire ourselves immeas-
urably. 1t is in being anxious about
things which we cannot help that we Of
ten do the most of our spending. A SIM
Pile faith in God which practically and
every moment, and not only theoreti-
cally and on Sundays, rests on the
knowledge that he cares for us at least
as much as we care for those who are
the dearest to us, will do much to give
the tired nerves the feeling of the bird
in its nest. Do not spend what strength
you have, like the clematis, in climbing
on yourself, but lay hold on things that
are eternal, and the peace of them will
pass into your soul like healing balm.
Put yourself in the great everlasting
currents, and then you can rest on your
oars, and let those currents bear you
on their trength.-Anna G. Bracket,
IN Harper'S Bazar.

Business a Means Of Grace.

The following note was found lying
on our table. We do not know who
wrote it, but can fully indorse the SEN
timent "We often hear Christians
complain of their leanness and empti-
ness, and attribute it all to their bust
ness. If they are correct in the cause
of their want of religious enjoyment,
then either they are engaged in a
wrong business, or they are pursuing it
in wrong manner. No lawful bust
ness (and Christian cannot engage in
any otheD, pursued in proper man
ner, will injure the religious enjoyment
of the child of God. He that hath the
love of God in his heart, and does his
own duty each day toward God and man,
will never find occasion to charge the
blame of his leanness to their bust
ness. "-Free Methodist.

Too many think that God is cutting
down the tree when he is but looping
off its luxuriant branches. They i'm
agine that he is demolishing the super
structure when he is only laying right
foundation. Poor soulsl he is not nip
ping the flowers, but plucking up the
weeds; he is not laying your land fall
low, but blowing the field; he is not
putting out the light, but snuffing the
candle. Providence has beautiful
face under black mask. God has the
fairest ends in the foulest ways. The
sheep may be dipped in water to wash
it when there is no design of the Good
Shepherd to drown it William Seeker

A Lesson in Trust

Two woodcutters went every day into
the forest TO cut wood. They both had
children whom they loved very much,
and they were willing to work hard so
AS to supply them with daily food. One
of these men was bright and cheerful,
and was always hoping for the best
The other was gloomy and fearful. He
was always regretting that he was 80
poor, and fearing that something would
happen to him so that he would not be
able to work, and that then his children
would starve. "Oh," he would often
say, how hard it is to be so poor. If
] should get sick what will become of
my wife and childrenY' Don't be
afraid" his cheerful neighbor would
say to him; I" if you should get, sick
God will take care of your family"
One day, as they were going through
the forest to their work, they found two
BIRDS nests in a high tree, and saw that
the parent birds were setting on their
eggs. The men watched those nests
day after day as they went past, till
they heard the young birds in the nests
crying, Peep, peep"
One morning, as the gloomy man
was going along past this spot by him
self, he saw one of the mother birds
going towards her nest with some food
in her mouth for her little ones. Just
at that moment hawk darted down on
the poor bird and bore her away in his
claws to make breakfast of her.
"Poor birdl" cried the woodcuter,
"what will become of the young ones
now? They have lost their mother,
and they will be left TO die with hunger.
And so it will be with my poor chill
dren if any thing should happen to
me-"
He was thinking about this all day.
1t made him feel so I'd that in the even
ing he went home another way, because
he didn't want to hear the cry of the
poor, perishing little ones. The next
morning, however, he concluded to 60
and look into the nest, and bury the
poor motherless birds, for he was sure
they would be all dead. So he went
slowly on, and when he came to the tree
he was just going to climb up, when he
saw the other mother bird going to the
nest that had the orphans in it. Their
little heads were lifted up; their little
mouths were open, and their kind
neighbor was acting the part of
mother to them, and feeding them just
as she fed her own. He stopped for
some time and watched her with great
interest as she went and came, taking
just as much care of the orphan little
ones as she did of her own. Just then
his cheeful neighbor came along, and
he told him in great surprise all that
had taken place.
"Ahl didn't tell you SOP" said this
good man; and if God takes care of
the birds in this way, may we not trust
him to take care of us? Don't be afraid
any more. If you are taken sick, 1 will
take care of your wife and little ones
just as this kiud mother bird is taking
care of her neighbours orphans. III get
sick am sure you will do the same for
me; and if anything should happen to
us both we may be sure that God will
take care of our families in some other
