FashiOning Character.

There is no former and fashioner of
character like the Lord Jesus. There
is no mould of beauty and excellence
into which the spirit of man can flow
comparable to the mind which was in
Christ Jesus. There is no school for
the education of man in patience, in
truth, in holiness, and in all virtues,
like unto his disciple band. There is
no predominating influence which will
make men true, and wise, and spiritual,
and faithful, like the influence offellow-
ship with Christ. There is no forma-
tive period in which men may be en-
riched with nobleness and grace of
character, like hours spent in his pres
ence; those bear the bloom, and in
time the fruit, of Christ-likeness of
whom it can be said, "They are wont
to be with Jesus" Strength and
beauty are in his sanctuary" Fellow
ship with Christ is the power that
makes men Christ-like. Yet this is
'ACS wv W give w SOllc DuL
to others, as sculptor is limited by the
shape and veining of the block on
which he is working. The two men,
st. Peter and St. John, with so much
that was different and even opposite
in their natures, are yet found bearing
the unmstakable ineaments of the
Master, In spite of their opposing
tendencies, fellowship with Chri,t has
bestowed on each likeness to Christ.
AS in the mint each coin, whether of
gold or of silver, bears The kings
Image and superscription," so may
each soul bear the image and super
scription of the eternal Kug. AS the
artist leaves the impress of his person
ality upon all his handiwork, whe her
it be wrought in plastic clay or hard,
unyielding marble, so upon each ma
ture does the divine Artifcer, the
great moulder and former of chara cter,
leave his mark and signature, the like
ness of Enthusiastically at Home.

The A ge of Man.

When was man first placed on earth?
No one can answer that ques ton. Hugh
Miller says that mans habit of burying
his dead out of sight makes it very easy
to be mistaken on that point; for, be-
cause of burial, mems bones may be
found among the animals that have
lain in the earth for ages. There is
one thing, however, that gives us an
inklng of when he came. Certain
tools, that only man could have made,
have been found buried in caves, in
peat beds and in the bottom of lakes.
Often these are covered by layers of
rock; and by calculating how long it
took to make the layers, guess can be
made as to when the tools were put
there. Still, it is only guess, and no
one pretends TO regard The business as
settled, because under some conditions
the layers would be made much faster
than under others. But the bones of
certain animals, the mammoth and
other great ere atures of that time which
have long since died, have been found
with these tools. By calculating in
what ages these animals lived, and how
long it takes race of animals to
die out, surer result can be ar
rived at. In cave in England, buried
under lime stone layer from one to
fifteen inches thick, tools have been
found mingled with the bones of ee-
plants, tigers, rhinoceroses, and hy-
enas, which roamed over that country
thousan and thousands of years ago.
The peat boys of what is now Den
mark and Scandinavia are filed with
stone tools. Some have been found in
beds of gravel, underlying peat which
is certainly seven thousand years old.
This seems to show that man must have
dwelt on earth at least as many years
ago.-TereSa c. Crofton in 81 Nicholas.

A Strange Legendary Experience
OF Catharine of Siena.

AT one time, so terrible was the
sense of the presence of evil spirits in
her little room that Catharine retreate d
to the church on the hill. There she
remained three days in prayer. The
spirits seemed to cry to her, Poor
miserable creature, thou canst never
pass thy whole life in this state; we
Will torment thee to death unless thou
obey u.s." Catharine answered, "Be
it so! 1 have chosen suffering for
Christ's sake, and am willing, if need
be, to endure this till death" On ut
tering these words great light seemed
to descend from above, filling the place
where she kneeled with heavenly
brightness. The devils fed. and the
Lord Jesus himself conversed with her.
