What an example is this for the Christian

the cross Shall the worldling maintain his
position at all hazards for mere earthly con-
siderations, and the follower Of the Meek and
Lowly dare nothing for the boon OF eternal
life! God forbid! His pathway should be
lighted up by the flames OF Divine love, and
in the strength Of Christ he should press
manfully on from conquering into conquest.
If he will only continue to do this, he will

Hatching Out q Python Family.

The python lately received at the
Geological Gardens in Leipsic has com.
pleted its work of Matching it's eggs.
This and second sitting python Of the
Indian species were received a few
weeks ago at Hamburg by the propri.
etor of the Leipsic Garden. They were
sent to Leipsic carefully packed in
chests, but one of them, disturbed by
the jolting of the train, left her place
on her eggs, and they were destroyed.
The other python, who had laid sew
ersl dozens of eggs as big as goose
eggs and covered with thick, leathery
skin, remained coiled upon them in a
pyramidal coil, at the apex of which
protruded her head. Both pythons
were unusually angry, and tried to
shoot forth their heads through every
opening of the chest, uttering low,
Kissing cries. The first young snakes
of the successfully hatched brood be-
gan to appear, creeping out between
the coils of the python mother, Every
day more appeared, until, when the
mother at last left her long-continued
position, there were more than thirty
young snakes. They were as thick as
a mans thumb, about two feet long,
and exquisitely marked, their ig ght
color contrasting strongly with the
dark brown of their mother. The
empty eggs, slit in a remarkably man.
ner, looked like heap of fiat leather
pockets or bags. The young pythons,
which at first resembled Medusa' s
head, began to creep away from their
mother-some lying in a tangled heap
under the blanket. some twisted sep
arately into small knot in the cor
ners of the chest. The python whose
eggs were destroyed by her forsaking
her position has gone blind. The
Matching of python snakes in confne-
ment is of very rare occurrence, but
the place the mother was kept in in
the Leipsic Geological Gardens is
tropically hot. The occurrence proves
the truth of the belief that it takes
about two months to hatch such crea-
lures. st. James's Gazette.

"LET YOUR LIGHT 80 SHINE"

A single illustration, happily Introduced
into sermon, will sometimes fasten itself on
the mind Of q person never to be forgotten.
We remember a case in point. The substance
of the sermon in which 1t was introduced Is
forgotten, but the point to which we refer Is
permanent. We have thought Of 1t hum
dred times, in connection with religious con-
SStency.
The preacher referred to light house near
New York, for illustration. The light, which
is revolvingone, hadceased to move by rea-
son Of some arrangement in the machinery. AS
soon as the keeper discovered 1t, he ran to
the proper position, and by manual labor
kept steadily revolving the light, until wea<<;-
ness compelled him to call another to his -
sistance. Then another took his turn, and
so during the liye-long night, and tn light
kept its uniform revolution. A stranger, as
tonished at the solicitude OF the keeper, in
quired the cause.-''Why," said he, "there
may be hundred seamen looking out from
the darkness and storm below, to catch a
glance at this light. If it move not 1t will be
mistaken for another, and, in their uncer-
tainty and danger, they may lose the channel
and be shipwrecked."
How many happy hearts passed over Broad
way the next day, all unconscious of the dan
ger to which they had been exposed, but for
the faithfulness and consideration OF that
keeper of the lighthouse!
Christian, the world is looking on you.
You may not know who are below in the
darkness and storm Of fe's troubled sea, but
you know the sen Is stormy, and there are
dangerous shoals to be avoided. Let your
light give no uncertain cleaning on the
gloom. Keep its motion uniform and con,
tinued! And when the day Of eternity shall
dawn. thousands may tread the streets OF the
New Jerusalem-who, but for the brightness
and regularity of your light, might have made
shipwreck of faith, and never moored IN tn!
harbor Of ofeternal safety. PROTESTANT.
