No Comfort In worldIIness.


Oh, have noticed again and again
what a botch this world makes of it
when it tries to comfort a soul in trou-
blel It says, Don't oryl" How can we
help crying when the hearts treasures
are scattered, and father is gone, and
mother is gone, and companions are
gone, and the child is gone, and every
thing seems gone? 1t is no comfort to
tell man not to cry. The world comes
up and says, ooh, it is only the body
of your loved one that you have put in
the ground" But there is no comfort
in that. That body is precious. Shall
we. never put our hand in that hand
again, and shall we never see that sweet
face again? Away with your heartless-
ness o world But come, Jesus, and
tell rs that when the tears fall they fall
into Gods bottle; that the dear bodies
of our loved ones shall rise radiant in
the resurrection, and all the breakings
down here shall be fittings up there,
and "they shall hunger no more, neither
thirst any more, neither shall the sun
light on them nor any heat, for the
Lamb which is in the midst of the
throne shall lead them to living foun-
tains of water, and God shall wipe all
tears from their eyes.
Take All Your Family.
You may have noticed that when the
chaffinch, or the stork, or the crane
starts on its migration it calls all those
of its kind to come too. The tree tops are
full Of chirp and whistle and carol, and
the long roll call The bird does not
start off alone. 1t gathers all Of its kind.
Oh, that you might be as wise in this
migration to heaven, and that you
might gather all your families and your
friends with you'll Iwould that Hannah
might take Samuel by the hand, and
Abraham might take Isaac, and Hagar
might take Ishmael. l ask you if those
who sat at your breakfast table this
morning will sit with you in heaven. l
ask you what influences you are trying
to bring upon them, what example you
are setting them. Are you calling them
to go with your Aye aye, have you
started yourself?
Start for heaven and take your chill
dren with You. Come, thou and all thy
house, into. the ark. Tell your little ones
that there are realms Of balm and sweet
ness for all those who fly in the right
direction. Swifter than eagles stroke
put out for heaven. Like the crane, or
the stork, stop not night nor day until
you find the right place for stopping.
Seated today in Christian service, will
you be seated in the same glorious serv-
ice when the heavens have passed away
with a great noise, and the elements
have melted with fervent heat, and the
redeemed are gathered around the
throne Of Jesus?

The ELECTION IN Brazil
It WIN Take Place Tomorrow and May
End the Revolution.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Mr. Mendonca,
the Brazilian minister, interprets the in
formation contained in a dispatch from
Minister Thompson at Rio de Janeiro, an
nouncing the extension of the state Of
siege to the 2Sth inst, to mean that the
elections in Brazil will take place on the
LIST of March, the date set by the constitu-
tion of the republic. If the state of siege
has been extended, as reported, he thinks
it will apply to all the localities in the
country now under martial law, and not
confined to Rio alone. He has as yet no
official information on the subject
Likewise is the minister without any
official information concerning the re-
ported capture of Lapa by the insurgents.
Lapa, the minister says, has always been
loyal to the government. 1t is an impor-
taut town in the state of Parada, and is
about 300 miles southwest of Rio The
capture of this place would, of course, be
an important one for the insurgents, but
the minister takes no stock in the report
There is place called Rapa, which is in
the north point of Desterro Island, which
may be the one referred to by Minister
Thompson as having been reported to have
been captured by the insurgents. This
island has been in possession of the in
surgents for some time, and is the place
where they established provisional gov
ernment last year.
A dispatch received by Minister Men
donca at noon today states that the state
of seige has been raised, and that the cleo
tions have been positively fixed for tomor-
row 1t is believed they will end the revo.

Governor Brown aud Attorney General
Poe were in conference yesterday with
Hon. Thomas S. Hodson, as counsel for
Owners and Captains Benjamin +. Marsh
and Edward Lowe, of the two dredging
boats captured by the police boat Chesa-
peake, of Virginia, on the 18th. Mr.. Hod-
son, by afiidavits of residents of Crisheld,
Nd, and others, together with the testi-
mony of the captains of the vessels taken
proved that the firing on and capture Of
the Maryland boats was done in Maryland
waters, and was clearly an armed invasion
of the state by the Virginia police boat. It
was therefore determined to ask the Mary
land Legislature to pass a resolution ap-
pointing a committee of one senator and
two delegates to act in conjunction with
the governor in calling the attention of the
governor and legislature of Virginia to
this violation of Maryland territory, and
to demand immediate and appropriate re
dresses and restitution. The committee is

The Chronicle says that the retirement

most an open secret that his eyesight Is no
longer equal to even the least important
duties of political leader. All stories of
dissension or disappointment at legisla-
tion being baked may be dismissed as

Boston, Feb. 2s.-The demonstration Of
the unemployed in Fanueil hall was a very
fiat affair and took the aspect of a tame
socialistic meeting. Morrison |. Swift and
Carson, the Equity Union agitators, acted
as leaders Swift urged his hearers to be
quiet and peaceable. Governor Greenhalge
was ridiculed by this speaker, and the
crowd was happy. The presence in the
hall of a large number of policemen may
have served as a calming influence The
fact that the police had been instructed to
allow no auarchistic demonstration had
been so well heralded that nothing of
