About twenty miles from Waldron there lives an old man named Wayne. Aside from a hale-old-style wife, there belongs to the family a beautiful girl, named Lulu. A few months ago, while the old man and lady were away from home, a young Indi an named Warn bo called at tlie house and ashed for a drink of water. Lulu invited him into the house, where he remained in conversation for some time after he had received the aqueous fluid. The Indian had been well educated, and bis handsome face and manly form immediately awakened Lulu's bosom to a sentimental interest while Warn bo was pierced, as though by an ar row of his own ancient fathers, with a thrill of love. He pressed the maiden’s hand when he left, and said that he would return. A week clasped before the girl saw hint again. This time the old people were at home, and, though the girl had not spoken to her parents in regard to the Indian, a suspicion was immediately awak ed. However, the Indian and the girl spoke to each other sentimentally; somuch so that an engagement of marriage was the result, the young Indian promising to come after her on the following night. The girl knew her father would be bitter ly opposed to the union and warned her lov er. Next night, while the moon was shining, whie the foliage was waving, the feet of the Indian brushed the dew from the grass. On his shoulder he bore a light ladder. Placing the ladder on the ground, be as cended to a window and peered into a room. In another instant lie was tum bling to the ground. The old gentleman had dicovered the plot, and, arming him self with a club, stood in the window. The Indian was not very badly hurt, and he had not more than gained his feet when the girl rushed from a down-stairs room and joined him. Then the two began a flight through the woods, among the bushes, over the rocks. Afraid to shoot, the old man ran as rapidly as his long-us ed legs would allow him. In attempting to climb a ledge of rocks, the young lady’s dress caught and held her fast. In trem bling haste her lover tried to disengage her, buttheold gentleman was upon them. “If you love mo, leave,” said tlie girl. The Indian dashed away, and in another moment the girl’s father stood beside lier. She was marched back homo. She is still there, but the young Indian, by no means slow, may make an outbreak at any mo ment. Heaven. How soon we shall get there no ono can tell. The stars of this very night may light our way to that beautiful home. Or we may mount up on the light of the next dewy morning, or tread on the golden clouds of to-morrow’s quiet eve. We may spread our pinions on the shivering winds of the coming winter, or rise to Heaven on the fragrance of the blooming spring. No one knows. But life will end, and we shall soon reach our home. How we shalll go is quite a mystery. No one has come back to tell the story. We may be ferried a cross the dark river, oi led through a shadowed Valley. Dazzled with a blaze of distant glory, and guided by its down-falling light, we rise up through trackless space alone, or we may be borne aloft on the shining wings of mighty angels, or on flaming chariots of fire. It doesn’t matter. We shall go by the fountain of blood; by the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. This much we kqow, and God will provide for our ascen sioD. How we shall feel is yet unknown. When washing tlie sleep from our eyes in river of life, and lifting our faces up to wards the throne of God, the light of Heaven bursts in upon our souls; when we are filled and thrilled with the melody of angel harps; when we are surrounded by an atmosphere of love and a boundless sea of glory; when with the royal dignity of redeemed manhood we come into the company of kings and priests, and into the presence of God, we cannot tell how we will feel. How we shall feel when we take a crown on the brow and a scepter in the hand, is one one of the revelations of future experience. But we shall be full of bliss, deep, overwhelming and eternal. And this is enough for us to know. Heav en —what a weight of glory in a word ! How divinely precious, how doubly pre cious since Jesus prepared it. The meas ure of God’s love,the fullness of His glory; O, who would not go to Heaven ? The Sanctuary. NVheu I go the house of God Ido not want amnsraent. I want the doctrine which is according to godliness. I want to hear the remedy against the har assing of my guilt and the disorder ot my affections. I want to be led from weari ness and disappointment to that goodness which filleth the hungry soul. I want to have light upon the mystery of Providence; to be taught how the judgments of the Lord are right; how shall be prepared for duty and for trial; bow 1 may fear God all the days of my life, and close in peace. Tell me of that Lord Jesus “who His own self bore our sins in His own body on the j tree.” Tell me of His “intercession for the transgressions,” as their “advocate with the Father.” Tell me of His Holy Spirit, whom they that believe in Him recieve, to be their preserver, sanctifier, comforter. Tell me of His chastenings, their use. Tell me of His presence-, and sympathy, and love. Tell me of His virtues, as grow ing out of His cross, and nurtured by His grace. Tell me of glory reflected on His name by the obedience of faith. Tell me of vanquished death, of the purified grave, of a blessed resurrection, of the life ever lasting —and my bosom warms. This is Gospel, these are glad tidings to me as a sufferer, became glad to me as a sinner Wanted to Know. Whether false ringlets can be described as “clouds of smoke.” Whether a row in a rookery deserves the definition “caws and effect." Whether the sailor who wanted to know wlmt time it was has gone to sea. Whether misnaming a baby’ at a christ t.-ning may he called turning a rite into a wrong. Whether the plainest woman alive, when she reaches the age of seventy-seven, will be a pretty old one. Whether it is not preabferle to fall out with your banker than to lose your balance with him. Whether when a horse takes his meals he has them at his stable. Whether, when you give a child a bat i it will be likely to give you a bawl. $2.50 A YEAR. A Worry Heart. I’d rather be poor and merry than inher it the wealth of the Indies with a discon ted spirit. A merry heart, a cheerful spir it, from which laughter wells up as natu rally as bubble the springs of Saratoga, are worth all the money bags, stocks and mortgages of the city. The man who laughs is doctor, with a diploma indorsed by the school of Nature; his face does more good in a sick room than a pound of powders or a gallon of bitter draughts. If things go right he laughs, because he is pleased; if they go wrong, he laughs because it is better and cheaper than crying. People are always glad to see him, their hands instinctively go halfway to meet his grasp, while they turn involuntarily from the clammy touch of the dyspeptic, who speaks on the groaning key. He laughs you out of your faults, while you never dream of be ing offended with him, and you never know what a pleasant world you are liv ing in until he points out the sunny streaks on its pathway. Who can help loving the whole-souled, genial laughter? Not the buffoon, nor the man that classes noise with mirth, but the cheery, contented man of sense and mind ! A good-humored laugh is the key to all breasts. The truth is that people like to be laughed at in a gen ial sort of way. If you are making your self ridiculous, you want to be told of it in a pleasant manner, not sneered at. And it is astonishing how frankly the laughing population can talk without treading on the toes of their neighbors. Why will the people put on long faces, when i{ is so much easier and more comfortable to laugh? Tears come to us unsought and unbidden. The wisest art in life is to cultivate smiles, and to find the flowers where others shrink away for fear of thorns. A Beautiful Thought. How few men seem to have formed a conception of the original dignity of their nature, the exalted design of their creation. Regarding themselves only as creatures of time, endowed merely with animal passions and intellectual faculties, their projects, aims and expectations are circumscribed 1 y the narrow outline of human tife. They forget, that instability and decay are writ < H as with a sunbeam,upon all earthly objects —that this world with all its pageantry, pomp and powers,is’crumbling into dust— that this life is scacely deserring of a sin gle thought excepting as it forms the intro ductoin of another and that he alone acts a prudent or rational part, who frames his plans with direct reference to that future and endless state of being. She has so blinded the understanding and debased the affections, that men never fail to invest some temporal good with fancied perfec tion, and idly imagine that the attain ment of it would satisfy the desires and fill the capacities of the immortal spirit! How little do they know of themselves 1 The soul is not of the earth, and they will strive in vain to chain it to the dust. Though its native strength has been im paired, and its purity tarnished, and its “glory changed,” it will not always be as a prisoner here. Send it forth if you will to range through the whole material universe, and like the dove dismissed from the ark, it will Return without find ing a single place to rest—for it has no resting place but the bosom of God. The t'honic Grumbler. The chronic grumbler is a man of a dis eased mind. If sound before, he has be come infected by grumbling. Very proba bly the minister is not infallible. Possi bly he did not manage as well as you would have done. But then, you know, he lacks the advantage of your unsual tal ent of managing. You can certainly for give him for not having been born as smart as yourself. Few people were, you know. So you must have patience. If you do not, you will contract the grum bler's jaundice. To be always feeling un pleasantly toward somebody, even if that somebody be the pastor, steward, or dea con of your church, produces n serious mental lesson. Don’t you know what le sion means? We will tell you. We have looked it up. It is “any morbid change in the exercise of function.” That is precise yl what constant hard feeling and frequent grumbling will lead to. It makes a “mor bid change” in the process of mind. Be ware of the grumbler’s disease. And if you Lave already contracted it we prescribe charity, forgiveness, nnd appreciation, in equal parts thoroughly mixed and well shaken together, to be taken internally at least once an hour; also a lotion external ly applied of kind words and serviceable acts. The treatment will in due time ef fect a cure. The Wife. —A delicatte attention to the minute wants and wishes of a wife tends, perhaps, more than anything else to the promotion of domestic happiness. It re quires no sacrifices, occupies but a small degree of attention, yet is the fertile source of bliss; since it convinces the object of your regard that, with the duties of a hus band, you have united the more punctili ous behavoir of a lover. These trivials to kens of regard certainly make much way in the affections of a woman of sense and discernment, who looks not to the value of the gifts she receives, but perceives in their frequency a continued evidence of the existence and ardor of that love on which the superstructure of her happiness has been erected. To preserve unimpair ed the affections of her associates, to con vince him that in his judgment of her character, formed antecedently to mar riage, he was neither blinded by partiali ty nor deluded by artifice, will be the study of every woman who consults her own 'happiness and the rules of Christian duty. The strongest attachment will de cline, if it suspect that it is received with diminished warmth. The story is told at Williamsport Pennsylvania, of a young man who went to the'Black Hills to seek his fortune, and wrote hack to his father that he had done well, hut added: “I will be home on Wednesday evening. Meet me at dark, just out of town, and bring a blanket or a whole pair of trousers with you. I have a hat.” The Rev. Thomas. K.
