SCORE 8 TO .

To the surprise OF the large gathering In at

York. went down before the team of the Brooklyn
Skating Club, by the score of So at the St
Nicholas Rink. last evening. The work OF the
New-York seven was disappointing to It's ad-
mirers. The men played at first in half hea rted
way and did not exhibit fast hockey until 1t was
too late TO from the effects OF their
first hstless work. Their shots were wild and
such OF them went straight were so slow as
to be easily stopped. Neither seven showed any
team work; It was a case OF each man for him
self and in the second half this policy resulted
In series OF falls and smash ups. For Brook

At the end of the first half Shieber and Jenni-
son had scored for Brooklyn. while b. Phillips
had laid up the local sevens solitary point In the
second period. Shiebler struck De Casanova with
his hockey stick. and disqualified for five
minutes. In that time Curnan managed to tie
the score, and things looked ominOus for BROOKLYN

three more points were made by Williams and

CHAPTER XI.
That the lovers of the Cross of Jesus
are few.
Jesus hath now many lovers of His
Cross, but few bearers of His Cross.
He hath many DESTROYS of consolation,
but few of tribulation. He findeth
many companions Of His table, but few
of His abstinence. All desire to re-
Joice with Him; few are willing to en-
dure anything for Him. Many follow
Jesus unto the breaking of bread, but
few to the drinking of the cup Of His
passion.
Many reverence His miracles: few
follow the ignominy of His Cross. Many
love Jesus so long as no Universities be-
1aIl them. Many praise and bless Him
SO long as they receive any consola-
ton from Him.
But If Jesus hide Himself, and leave
them but little while, they fall either
into complaining, or into too much de
lection of mind.
But they who love Jesus for His own
sake, and not for some special com
fort which they receive, bless Him in
all tribulation and anguish of heart,
as well as in the state of the highest
comfort. Yea, although He should
never be willing to give them comfort,
they would ever praise Him, and wish
to be always giving thanks.
Oh! low powerful is the pure love of
Jesus, which is mixed with no self
interest, nor self-love! Are not all
those to be called mercenary who are
ever seeking consultations?
Do they not show themselves to be
rather lovers of themselves than of
Christ who are always thinking of their
own profit and advantage? Where
shall one be found who is willing to
serve God for naught?
Rarely is anyone found 80 spiritual
as to have suffered the loss of all
things. If a man should give all his
substance, it is as yet nothing. And
if he should practice great repentance,
it is still little And if he should at
tain all knowledge, he is still afar off
And if he should be of great virtue,
and of fervent devotion, yet there is
much wanting, especially one thing
which il most necessary for him What
IS that? What leaving all, he forSake
himself, and go wholly from himself,
and retain nothing Of self-love And
when he hath done all that is to be
done, so far as he knoweth, let him
think that he hath done nothing Let
him not think that of great weight,
which might be esteemed great, but let
him in truth pronounce himself to be
an improbable servant, as the Truth
Himself saith, when you shall have
doye all things that are commanded of
you, say, we are Improbable serv-
ants"
Then may he be truly poor and
naked in spirit, and say with the
Prophet, 81 am desolate and afflicted"
Yet none is richer than that man, none
more powerful, none more free, for he
knoweth how to leave himself and all
things. and to set himself in the low
est place.

INVITATIONS OF CHRIST.

Of gratitude for the Grace of God.
Why ssekest thou rest, since thou art
| born to labor?
than to comfort, and to the bearing of
the cross rather than to gladness.
What worldly man is there that
would not willingly receive spiritual joy
| and comfort if he could always have
! it? For spiritual comforts exceed all
delights of the world, and the pleasure
OF the flesh.
For all worldly delights are either
vain or unclean; but spiritual delights
are pleasant and honest, being sprung
| from virtue. and infused by God into
pure minds. But no man can always
enjoy these divine comforts according
to all desires; for the time OF tempta-
ton is never far away. But false free
dom of mind and great confidence in
ourselves are very contrary to heavenly
Visitations.
God doeth well for US in giving the
grace Of comfort but man doeth evil
in not returning all again unto God
! with great thanksgiving.
And, therefore, the gifts of grace
cannot flow in US, because we are I'M
thankful to the giver, and return. them
not to the source and fountain.
For grace ever attendeth him that is
duly thankful; and from the proud
shall be taken that which is wont to
be given to the hubble.
1 desire not the consolation that
taketh from me compunction; nor do L
affect that contemplation which lead
eth to high mind.
For all that is high is not holy; nor
all that is sweet and good; nor every
desire, pure; nor is everything that is
pleasing to God dear to US.
Willingly do 1 accept of that grace,
whereby I may ever be found more
humble, and more affected with fear,
and may become more ready to re-
nounce myself.
He that is taught by the gift of grace,
and schooled by the withdrawing there
of. will not dare to attribute any good
to himself, but will rather acknowledge
that to thyself alone is to be attributed
sin, and the punishment due to sin.
Set myself always in the lowest place
and the highest shall be given thee;
for the highest is not without the low
est The chiefest saints before God
are the least in their own judgments;
and the more glorious they are, so
much the humber within themselves
Those that are full of truth and heav-
emily glory, are not DESTROYS Of empty
glory.
Those that are firmly settled and
grounded in God, can in no way be
proud. And they that ascribe oil good
to God, whatsoever they have received,
seek not glory but which is from God
alone: and above ALL things that God
may be praised in Himself and all His
saints; and are always pressing on for
this very thing. Be, therefore, thank
full for the least thing, 50 shalt thou
be meet to receive greater Let the
least be unto thee even as the greatest
yea, the most contemplate gift as of
especial value.
If thou consider the worth of the
giver, no gift will seem little, or of too
mean esteem. For that cannot be lit
tie which is given by the most High
God.

Alas. alasi how very soon this silly little
fly.
Hearing his willy, 1attering words, came
slowly fitting by;
With buzzing wings she hung aloft, then
near and nearer drew
Thinking only of her brilliant eyes, and
green and purple hue;
Thinking only of her crested head-poor
foolish thing!-At last
Up jumped the cunning spider, and fierce
~ held hert fast
He dragged her up his winding stair, into
his dismal den,
Within his little parlor-but she neer
came out again!

Said the cunning spider to the fly: Dear

all that's nice
I'm sure you're very welcome-will Won
please to take a slice?"
On, no, no." said the little fly. ''I,ind
sir, that cannot be,

And bidding you good morning now. I'll

went into his den, "'o'

Then he went out to his door again. and
