Count Cesnoia-

Count Cesnola, aftorward famous
through his collection Of statuary, coin
manded the Fourth New York cavalry
during the civil war. He was gallant
officer, but his command was motley
mass of whom 1t was difficult TO make
soldiers.
In 1888, by reason of the bad conduct
of his men, he wns made a prisoner.
After 10 months he was returned to his
regiment and said:
II propose to put these rascals through
8 course of discipline and drill until
they distinguish themselves In battle.
and the moment they do that shall re-
sign.
Cesnola was as good as his word On
Aug. 10, 1864, he, at their head, charged
two Confederate regiments Of infantry,
and while the army was ringing with
his gallant deed Of arms Colonel Cesno'
la sat in his tent writing resignation
Of his commission.
"They have covered me with glory
today" he said "They may disgrace
me tomorrow. "-Youth's Companion.

single exception. There might be pro-
fessional men there, political men there,
worldly men there, men who had not
heard the gospel for 30 years, men who
are prejudiced against the preachers,
men who are prcjudiced against the
music men who are pre1udiced against
the church, men who are prejudiced

Earnest Prayer.
Oh, for such an earnest prayer Peo-
pie Of God, lay hold Of the horns of the
altar now and supplicete the salvation
of oil those who sit in the same pew
with you-yea, the redemption of all
who sit in your churches.
1 tell you today, my friends, OF o
great salvation. Do you understand
whit it is to have Saviour? He took
your place. He bore your sins Rewept
your sorrows He is here now to save
your soul. A soldier, worn out i'll his
country's service, took to the violin as
mode of earning his living. He was
found in tho streets Of Vienna playing
his violin, but after awhile his hand be-
came feeble and tremulous, and he could
no more make music. One day. while
he sat there weeping, man passed
along and said: my friend, you are too
old and too feeble. Give me your vio-
lin" And he took the mans violin end
began to discourse most exquisite mu-
sic, and tho people gathered around in
larger and larger multitudes, and the
aged man held his hat and the coin
poured in and poured in until the hat
was full.
Now" said the man who was play
ing the violin, put that coin i'll your
pockets. The coin was put III the old
mans pockets. Then he held his hat
again. and the violinist played moro
sweetly than ever and played until some
of the people wept and some shouted.
And again the hat was filled with coin.
Then the violinist dropped the instru-
ment and passed off, and the whisper
went, "Who is it, who Is IT." and some
one just entering the crowd said: why,
that is Butcher, the great violinist, known
all through the realm. Yes, that is the
great violinist. +" The fact was he had
just taken that man S place, and assuln-
cd his poverty, and borne his burden, and
played his music, and earned his liyeli-
hood, and made sacrifice for the poor old
man. So the Lord Jesus Christ comes
down, and he finds us in our spiritual
penury, and across the broken strings
of his own broken heart he strikes
strain Of infinite music which wins the
attention of earth and heaven. Hetakcs
our poverty. He plays our music. Flo
weeps our sorrow He dies our death
A sacrifice for you, sacrifice for Inc.
Oh, will you accept this sacrifice
now? do not single our this and that
man and this and that woman. But l
say all may come. The sacrifice is so
great all may be saved. Does itnot seem
to you as if heaven was very near? ]
