In. a recent number of the Evangelist
Rev. Dr. Cuyler says:
“Wesley found lias inspirations ‘on

Spurgeon throws off sermons. For
example, when he was preaching to a
crowd of rude stone-cutters and quar
ry-men at Portland; he turned his
appeal into metre, and improvised a
hymn, in which occur the vigorous

THE BEST GIN YET!
“Come, O thou nil victorious Lord!
Thy power to ns mike known;
Strike with tbe hammer of Thy word.
And breakthese hearts of stone.”
“Standing once on the dizzy prom
ontory of Land’s End and looking
down into the hoiKig waves on each
side of the cliff, heBroke out into these
solemn and thrilling words:
“ *Lo! on a narrow neck of land,
’Twixt two unbounded seas I stand,
Yet how insensible! ’
“For every scene and circumstance
of life, for prayer meetings, for watch
nights, for love feasts and for dying
hours and funerals he had a holy, im
passioned lay. But like Watts, Cow-
per and Toplady, he had his master
piece. The Lord of Glory bestowed
on Charles Wesley the high honor of
composing the finest heart hymn in
the English tongue. If the finest
hymn of the cross is ‘Rock of Ages,’
and the greatest hymn of Providence
is Cowper’s, ‘God moves in a misteri-
ous way,’ and the grandest battle
hymn is Martin Luther’s, ‘God is our
refuge,’ then it maj be said also that
the queen of all the lays of holy love is
the immortal song:
•“Jeras lover of my soul!
Let me to Thy bosom fly;
While tbe billows near me roll,
While tbe tempest still is high!’
“Whatever may be said of Wesley’s
doctrine of perfect holiness, there is
not much doubt that he ‘attained unto
perfection’ when he wrote this hymn.
It is happily married, also to two ex
quisite tunes, ‘Refuge’ and ‘Martyn,’
both of which are worthy of the alli
ance. The first of these is a gem. ”
Under the title “The Voice of Chris
tian Life in Song,” Bishop Cummins,
of Kentucky, contributes to the Chris
tian at Work at very interesting dis
quisition of hymns. Next to the Dies
Iroi he places Luther’s Ein’feste Burg.
He then speaks of two recent hymns
which of late years have become great
favorites in all Christian churches:
“ ‘Just as I am’ is already a part of
the heritage of all God’s people, sung
by infant lips, in the tremulous tones
of old age, sung softly by the the
couches of the dying, and chanted by
a thousand voices, like the sound of
mighty waters, echoing now in grand
old cathedral aisles, and again floating
through the leafy arches of great for
ests, nature’s still grander minster.—
For years men were singing this song
without knowing whence it came,- un
til at last it was discovered to have
been the work, of a retired Christian
woman in England, who, taught of
the spirit, had given utterance to the
cry of a broken and contrite heart, in
which every patient can join, from the
Magdalen bathing the feet of Jesus, to
the ripe saint just entering the portals
of the upper sanctuary.
“The other hymn alluded to is fast
becoming as universal, but. its history
is not so well known. A few years ago
on'a Sunday afternoon at the dose of
autumn, an English dergyman preach
ed -his - farewell sermon to his flock,
whom declining health compelled him
to leave. He was a victim of consump
tion, and was about to pass the winter
in Italy, with the faint Hope- of some
relief from his sufferings. The last
farewell was uttered to his beloved
people, and faint and weary he went
back to his quiet rural parsonage. In
the evening, surrounded by his family,
he sat down and composed the follow
ing touching andpredous hymn;.

God, but the fragtance of his piety

The hymn “Abide with me” is to he
found in the “Additional Hymns” au
thorized for use in the Protestant
Episcopal Church in this country, but
the third, fourth and fifth stanzas are
omitted. It is largely used also in
other denominations, and will soon
take its place amid those hymns of the
ages which, like many of those of
Wesley and Watts, are known in every
Christian church.

The New York Herald says: “There
has not been since tbe war such activ
ity in the trade this early in the sea
son and such a promise for the future.
This is particularly the cases in the dry
goods trade.. The grocery merchants,
both wholesale and retail, evidently
antidpate a brisk business, for we no
tice that the .foreign, importations ; of
wines, fruit and other things in this
trade have been heavy. It has been
stated that nearly double the amount
was imported last week over the im
portations of the corresponding week
of last year and that large and unusu
al quantities are on the way. The
clothing manufacturers and dealers,
the hardware. establishments, and
merchants and traders in other goods,
are in similar expectancy and prepared
condition for the opening of trade.
One of the progressive industries of
the times is the manufacture of artic
les of clothing for household use from
paper. In China and Japan, paper
clothing has long been-worn by the in
habitants, and- so cheaply can it be
produced that a serviceable paper coat
costs ’only ten' cents, white a whole
suit of the same material is limited to
twenty-five cents.- Heretofore, paper
has been worked : np among civilized
nations into collars, cuffs, frills, and
similar minor articles; hut, by a recent
English invention, a really serviceable
paper fabric has been prepared, from
which table-cloths, napkins, handker
chiefs, punts, curtains, shirts, petti
coats, and other articles of dress, to-
ether with imitation blankets and bed
furniture, lace, and fringe, imitation
leather, &c., can be made very cheap
ly. The substances used in preparing
this fabric; are both vegetable and an 1
imai, and comprise a mixture of wool,
silk, flax, jute, hemp, and cotton.—
Reduced to a fine pulp and bleached,
and then felted by means of machine
ry, the material thus obtained produc
es a fabric of wonderful flexibility and
strength, which can be sewed together
and with as strong a seam, as well as
any cloth. The articles made from
this mixture are said to be not only
very serviceable, but so resemble
cloth, linen, or cotton as to defy the
closest scrutiny.

There is a Digger boy employed on
a slxeey ranclie in Monterey county,
California, wlio is a human curiosity.
He herds about eight hundred sheep
all by himself, and the overseer says
that he knows every one of them by
sight, and when he brings them in at
night he will get upon the corral
fence and tell whether one is missing.
He is about fourteen, and has a face
as round as the moon, and the bright
est black eyes, which fairly sparkle
with, mischief. He turns more somer
saults and hangs head downward from
more trees Man any man could count
readily, and seems hardly to he aware
of the existence of his sheep during
the whole day, yet he brings them all
at night. Like a true Indian, his mo
tions are perfectly cat-like, and he
never calls to his sheep, but always im
itates the owl, the wild-cat, or the coy
ote. When his employer calls him he
never answers him a syllable, bnt
starts and runs towards him with all
his might. Mischievous as he is when
alone, he is os shy as a partridge, and
was never known to come to his meals
with the rest unless specifically called
byname. The overseer got tired of
being obliged always 1 to give him- a
special and, particular invitation to
dinner, so he went out and took him
by the ear one day, and led him to
the table;- but the hoy straightway
burst ont crying and blubbering in
grievous distress of mind, and it took
him two days to recover his equanim
ity.
A revolver was brought him one
day that he might shoot the coyotes
when they came to prey upon his
flocks, bnt he regarded it with aver
sion. At last they prevailed upon "to
carry it two days in succession, and on
the second day he saw a wild-eat,

Newspaper writers will thoroughly
appreciate the following o’er true tale,
which We take from the Philadelphia
Dispatch:
A week or two ago ono of our re
porter’s had occasion to refer to a cer
tain woman, whom we will call Hannah
Smith, as a denizen of the Eleventh
ward. A day or two afterwards a huge
man entered the office with his- brow
clothed with thunder. In his hand he
carried a fearful club, and-at his side
tyotted a hull dog whom hunger evi
dently -had made desperate. YTith
that qnick appreciation of Mb’ situa
tion which is creditable to the superi
or intelligence of-educated men, the
editor of this paper and' the proprietor
darted to the -window, climbed out
side, slid down the lightntng-rod, and
went across the street to watch the
bloody fray through a spy-glass. With
the fearlessness of conscious Nmocence
we sat still, merely inserting our legs
in two sections of stove-pipe to guard
against any misapprehension of facts
on the part of the bull dog. The man
with the club approached.
‘Are yon the editor?” he asked,
spitting on his hand and grasping his
dub. We told him that the editor
was bnt; that he had gone to the north
pole with Captain Hall, and that he
would not return until 1876, in time
for the centennial celebration.
‘Are you the proprietor?” asked the
man.
We explained to him that we were
not, that Me proprietors were also ont;
that they had gone to South America
for the purpose of investigating the
curative properties of cundurango,
and they expected to remain there for
several years.
“Well, whoeveryou are,” exclaimed
the warrior, “my name is Smith!”
We told him wo were glad; because,
if there was one thing better than the
possession of the name of Smith, it
was the privilege of knowing a man of
that name. “But Smith,” we said,
“why this battle array? It is .absurd
for a man to put on the. panoply of
war, and frisk into editor’s sanctums
fumbling a club and accompanied by a
disheartening bull dog, simply because
his name happens to be Smith.”
He said he called in to bnrst the
head of the man who had insulted his
sister.
“It is impossible. Smith, that such
a thing could have been done by any
one in this office. ”
“Is, but it was*, though; and her
name was published, too! Miss Smith
—Miss Hannah Smith!”
“May we be permitted to inqnire,
Mr. Smith, what was the precise char
acter of the affront offered to Han
nah?”
“Well, you see,” said Smith, “the
blackguard said she was a denizen.—
And I want you to understand,” ex
claimed Smith, becoming excited, and
brandishing his club in a wild manner
over onr head, while the bull-dog ad
vanced and commenced to sniffup and
down our stove-pipe. “I want yon to
understand that she is a decent young

good, cigar,” said BL-nurk, “is Lest
understood when it is the hist you pos
sess, and there is no chance oi getting
another. At Kordggstz I had oniy
one cigar left in my pocket, whiefi I
carefully guarded during the whole
battle as-a miser-does his tivasiuv. I
did not feel justified in using it. I
painted in glowing colors in my mini!
the happy hour when a should enjoy
the victory.. But I had miscalculated
the chances.”
“And what was- the cr.nse of your
miscalculation?’'
“A poor dragoon’. He Liy helpless,
with both- arms crushed, murmuring
for something to refresh him: I felt
iu my pockets and found I had only
old, and: that would be of no use to
him; Bnt stay—I had still my treas
ured cigar! I lighted this for him,
and".placed-it between liis teeth- Yoit
'should have seen the poor fellow’s
grateful smile. I never enjoyed a ci
gar so-much as that one that X-did not
'smoke.-”'
The First Newspap'dr-
Ax ingenious physician of Paris—-
Renandot by name—rather more than
two hundred yearn ago hit upon a
good idea for “cutting out” his more -
learned brethren, which he was not
long in putting into execution, to his
no small advantage, and the great
chagrin of his brother professionals. -
His plan was an- extremely, simple one-,-
for he obtained his popularity by tho’
very innocent expedient of collecting
information, and then circulating
news sheets among his patients, for'
their especial delectation and amuse
ment. But inasmuch as the seasons
were not always sickly; and he fonnd
he had plenty of time on his hands,
he was encouraged by his success to -
devote his attention mere exclusively
to tbo business of journalism, bypro--
vidingthe public at large with newsp
and accordingly iu 1631, he succeeded
in obtaining for himself and family,
solely the privilege of publishing a
newspaper called tho Gazette of
France. Such, at least, is the account
of the origin of newspapers given - by.

struck the table in a violent manner
while the bull dog put his-forelegs up
on the back of our chair.

We pointed out to the raging warrior,
that the Websterian definition of the
word “denizen” gives such a person
an unoffending character and deprives
the term of everything like reproach
Smith said he was. satisfied, and he
shook hands and kicked the bull dog
down stairs. The editor and proprie

ately climbed the lightning-rod and
soon appeared at the window, where
they were introduced to Smith, with
the remark that they had returned
from tho North Pole and the clime of
