CHRISTMAS SELLS.
[LONOFELLOW.1
T heard the hells od Christmas da;
Taelr o'd laminar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace oa earth, good will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Chrlsleudom
R%d rolled aloDg
Toe unbroken song
O; peace on earth, good will to men!
Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime,
Ot peace on eartn, good will to men I
But In despair I bowed my head,
“There Is no peace on *arth,” 1 said;
‘ For bate Is strong,
And mocks the song
Ol peace on earth, good will to men!”
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep,
“God Is not dead, nor doth be sleepl
The wrong shall fail.
The right prevail.
With peace on earth, good will to men!”
Quebec Items.
Dear Mother Hubbard-. I don’t consider the
Household department should be filled up with
news items, and yet I feel tempted to give a
few items relating to Quebec. In the first
place, I may tell my Southern friends that
cold, stern winter is here, and we, but too
keenly, feel the severity of his despotic reign.
The ground is covered with snow. Ail vehi
cles running on wheels are laid up for the
winter—nothing to be seen now but sleighs.
The lakes and rivers are frozen. And, though
our great St. Lawrence is not yet bridged
over, tbe river is fuil of floating ice. Naviga
tion has been suspended for the winter. No
craft now to be seen, unless the ferry boats,
which still ply across the river. And the
Ferry Company will do their best to break up
the ice and keep a passage for the boats as
long as they can.
Oar winters here are tbe gay seasons for
those who have the means to enjoy the varied
pleasures of select parties, theaters, balls,
concerts, sleighing, the club tandems, skating,
curling, etc. But it is a hard time on the poor
who have no work nor money, and food and
firewood to be provided.
We have the Salvation Army here—a French
party and an English speaking party. The
Salvationists march out with drums, cornets,
tamborines, etc. The bigoted rabble mob have
on many occasions stoned the few men and
women, treating them most savagely. Several
of them have had broken bones and cut heads,
the French-Canadians being the chief actors
in these brutal attacks; so much bo that many
of the manly Irish R. C’s stood up for the de
fense of the ill-treated females. Latterly a
few hundred protestants turned out, to pro
tect the Salvation women. The result was a
collision with tbe thousands of both French
and Irish. Seme were badly beaten. A few
influential citizens have prevailed on the Sal
vation Army to keep within their barracks
until it be decided by law whether their march
ing oat be legal or not. If legal they shall be
protected at any cosi;if no’, then they must not
march out with banners, drums, etc.
Rosa Alba, I regret very much my want of
discernment in not alluding to you as an ap
preciated member of our Household. I have
from time to time alluded to many of the fam
ily, but not the whole of them. Many of my
sisters, and some of my brothers, have writ
ten to me, and by so doing I have got into a
closer intimacy with them than I could through
^>e columns of the Household. I hope ail of
uny intimate Southern friends will continue
their past professions of friendship.
I have now to make a disclosure. I have
published a S lection of my poems, and shall
0)9 glad if my Southern friends patronize mein
my first appearance before the public as an
author. The boft< j g nicely bound, contains
:three j nn dred and fifteen printed pages, and
uas two hundred and thirty-seven poems and
sonnets. I hope there is nothing in my book
to offend any one. For so far the opinions of
the press have been most favorable. The
price is §1 25, or four books for $5. For such
sum I will post it to any address I may re
ceive. Any profits arising from the sale will
be devoted to charity or God’s cause.
I am as ever, Veritas.
Or dropping my nom, S. Moore.
Box 74, P. O. St. Roch’s, Quebec.
Som9 Questions Answered.
Immutable, I answer yours first. I have
noted the rough appearance on the pictures of
some of the great masters. The reason is
probably that many of the famous painters
did not finish all their works. Raphael’s mas
terpiece in the Vatican gallery at Rome is un
finished. Several of Murillo’s pictures also
are in the rough State. Some fine works have
been spoiled by so called restorers or cleaners.
They should be called destroyers, for they
have ruined many splendid pictures. Taking
the canvasses from their frames and rolling
them up may have damaged some of them.
Tbe reason the works of the old masters are
so highly prized is on account of their general
excellence. They have never been surpassed
and probably never will be. There was but
one Michael Angelo, Raphael, Coreggio, Titian
and Paul Veronese.
Martha B., of Tuscaloosa, Ala., if your
father’s violin is a genuine Stradivarius it is
very valuable. But it is very likely a “coun
terfeit." The violins made by Guanerius,
Stradivarius and Amati are held by people
who would not part with them for love or
money. August Gemunder, Bowery near 8th
street, New York, is the best repairer that I
knew of.
Vieuxtemps, of Paris, was the best modern
maker of violins. He imitated the old makers
so cleverly that Paganini could not tell the
difference between one made by him and one
made by Guanerius. Hoff, of Berlin, makes a
good violin; so does Gemunder, of New York,
mentioned above. It is no proof that a vioiin
was made by Stradivarius—if his name is
stampsd inside. There are plenty in the old
pawn shops ir. New 5 ork, and they can be
purchased at from two to ten dollars.
Capt. J. S. B., of New Orleans, many South
ern ladies were imprisoned during the civil
war between the States, for political offenses.
There were two prisons that went under the
name of the “Old Capitol." One was the “Old
Capitol" proper; the other was the ’Carro-l
Place ’' in this the ladies were incarcerated—
manv’of them for very slight reasons. I once
saw a respectable lady arrested for waving her
handkerchief at the prisoners who appeared
at the barred windows of the ‘Old Capitol.
No, I cannot give their names for very satis
factory reasons. „ _ ,
“Melissa, of Tuscumbia, Miss., the leach
Blow Vase was purchased at the Morgan sale
by Mr. Walters, of Baltimore, for -515,000. A
gentleman from Canada was the purchaserof
Breton’s “First Communion,” for 542,000
The only genuine Raphael was the “Madonna
dei Candelabri” that I remember being exhib
ited in tbe Art Museum in New York. It was
valued at 9100,000, and was the property of
Mr. Munroe Butler Johnston, of England, who
generously lent it to the museum for one year
Miss Wolfe’s pictures are now on exhibition.
I saw them on election day. It was the sec
ond day of the opening of the Exhibition, and
I could not make any notes of them. I will
visit the gallery again very soon and tell you
and the rest of the readers of the Scknt South
all about them. I will answer tbe other
readers who have written me by private letters.
I wish all my friends and readers of the
Sunnt South a merry Christmas and a happy
New Year. Ira Jokes.

Flora’s Floss Spun at Intervals.
Now, Col. Seals, I protest against such
praise as you give Mrs. Wilson. My first
novel was “St. Elmo,” and I read it with the
aid of Grandma and Lampriere’s Classical
Dictionary. Yon see I was liberally educated
when I finished.
Grandma was one of the most intellectual
women I ever met, and knew exactly how to
put her thoughts in language; and, after con-
s llting the dictionary, I would get her to tell
me what other writers had said on the subject.
“Beulah" I didn’t care so much for, and I got
mad with “Vashti" at first, and only a sequel
will put me in a good humor. Of course when
she finds this out it will be issued immediately,
if not sooner.
I have tried time after time to tell you all of
my summer trip, but I can’t decide whereto
begin. I had a most pleasant time, from the
minute I surreptitiously wiped the tears—that
the good-byes of the home folks called up—
from my eyes and viewed my companions.
It is always my luck to get just back of a
bride and groom; and then I get sick (maybe
from envy), that some one is not paying my
fare and buying everything that is brought on
the triin. From Fernandina to Charleston I
went by the Clyde line, and for once I had no
bridal couple. How I did enjoy that part of
my trip! A nice guardian and no sea sick
ness; then tbe day spent in Charleston. All
abiut we went; saw the bolts and bars to keep
.he houses up; saw many ruins, and mourned
over the wrecks.
I then bade my friends adieu, started for
bumter, and could not get the train to move
fast enough forme. Two sweet-faced “sis-
ters just back of me admonished me to be
patient. I felt ashamed, but I never d ; d feel
patient. In my album of memories I often see
sister Agatha and her brown-eyed companion.
I stayed ever so long at Sumter, and was
constantly with one of our dearest Southern
Householders. Home duties interfere with
her now. One day, while flying down the hall
of the Jervey House, I was stopped, introduced
to one of the chess players of the Sunny
South and marched right on. I wonder if
A V. B. remembers me
From there I went to Georgia, and of all dis-
gusting places the waiting room at Augusta
is the most so.
I saw one of the Householders married, and
^LV g , ay ,V me ’ to «- I failed to reach the
hopes 0 y ’ 1 m S ° rry t0 8ay; but 1 wiU live in
u te T » 8 of the bears. We have them

for one, not two hundred yards from “the
camp; I listened every night for the gun, but

crossed the road, and the sand on the fence.
Better luck next time, we'd say, and try
again. Saturday afternoon I played bear
Mr. Jones took tbe load out, set the gun, and
I crossed the fence. Snap 1 went the gun, and
we decided it was right. Sunday morning we
heard the gun and as soon as light enough we
went to see about it. He went ever so far be-
fore he fell dead. You know they die going*
never stop, if they do they prop themselves
agamst a tree. There is something human
about them. 6
Darkies have strange ideas; I overheard
Scott say: “Well grandpa, you never is to

suppose.
We were going to the sugar boiling the
other night and mention was made of a girl
who was hurt severely and disfigured muchly
on the eve of her marriage. I wondered if it
took placet Another said of course, for
“Love is not love that alterations find.”
Another said, if she sued the city and got a
handsome sum for the accident, otherwise he
skipped. B/ that time we were at the mill
and let the subject drop. Don’t you wish wa’d

There is a callow youth in our band named
“Give Away;’’ he is a merechildand indulges
in the wildest dreams. When a little boy,
his fond parents earnestly tried to uproot a
noxious weed in his little heart, but I am sorry
to see that they failed.
Eighteen hundred and eighty-seven is near
ly gone, and soon another year will be upon
us. This has been full of rich experience to
me. I have viewed life from many stand
points and am sorry to prepare to say fare
well. Joy and sorrow came to all of us. We
must live not for self and prepare for a pro
gressive life, not one that “will not copy fair
the past.” Fate is ironical and we little know
what is in store for us; let us, therefore, pre •
pare to meet the shadowy future boldly and
make beautiful this dying year, pursuing the
good and true.

A Sad Case of Poisoning
is that of any man or woman afflicted with
disease or derangement of the liver, resulting
in poisonous accumulations in the blood, scro
fulous affections, sick-headaches, and diseas

troubles can be cured only by going to the
primary cause, and putting the liver in a heal
thy condition To accomplish this result
speedily and effectually nothing has proved it
self so efficacious as Dr. Pierce’s “Golden
Med cal Discovery,” which has never failed
to do the work claimed for it, and never will.
Justice Grey is one of the most interesting
men on the Supreme Court Bench. He is
bright at repartee, a good reconteur, and he is
a genial host. He is fond of French novels,
and is said to read from six to ten of these a
week. His singular looking house oa the
corner of Sixteenth aud I streets is rapidly
nearing completion. As Justice Grey is a
bachelor, Washington gossips are wondering
why he has built so pretentious a mansion.
The report that he is engaged to Miss Van
Vechteu, of Albany, is said to be unfounded.

is a peculiarly successful remedy for this dis
ease, which it cures by purifying the blood. If
you suffer from catarrh, try Hood’s Sarsapa

TALMAGE’S SERMON.
Brookltn, December 18—At the Taberna
cle this morning the whole congregation sang
the hymn beginning:
“The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets."
The Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D.,
preached on “Recreations, Good and Bad,"
two texts: I Corinthians, chapter 7, verse 31,
“They that use this world, as not abusing it,”
and Judges, chapter 16, verse 25, “And itcame
to pass, when their hearts were merry, that
they said, ‘Call for Samson, that he may
make us sport. ’ And they called for Samson
out of the prison house, and he made them
sport." Dr. Talmage said:
We are entering the gayest season of the
year. The winter opens before us the gates
of a thousand amusements, some of them good
and some bad. One of my texts will show
you that amusements may be destructive, my
other text will show you that amusements
may be under the Divine blessing and direc
tion.
There were three thousand people assembled
in the temple of Dragon. They had assembled
to make sport of eyeless Samson. They were
ready for the entertainment. They began to
clap and pound impatient for the amusement
to begin, and they cried, ‘ Fetch him out!
Fetch him out!” Yonder, I see the blind old
giant coming, led by the hand of a child into
the very midst of the temple. At first appear
ance there goes up a shout of laughter and de
rision. The blind old giant pretends he is
tired, and wants to rest himself against the
pillars of the house; so he says to the lad who
leads him, “Show me where the main pillarB
are." The lad does so. Then the strong man
puts his right Sand on one pillar and his left
hand on another pillar, and, with tbe mightiest
push that mortal ever made, throws himself
forward until the whole house comes down in
a thunderous crash, grinding the audience like
grapes in a wine press. “And so it came to
pass, when their hearts were merry, that they
said,‘Call for Samson, that he may make us
sport. ’ And they called for Samson out of
the prison house; and he made them sport.”
In other words: There are amusements that
are destructive, and bring down disaster apd
death upon the heads of those who practice
them. While they laugh and cheer, they die.
The three thousand who perished that day in
Gaza are as nothing compared with the tens of
thousands who have been destroyed by sinful
amusements.
But the other text I have read implies that
there is a lawful use of the world as well as an
unlawful abuse of it, and the difference be
tween the man Christian and the man un-
Christian is, that in the former case the man
masters the world, while in the latter ease the
world masters him. For whom did God make
this grand aud beautiful world? For whom
this wonderful expenditure of color, this
gracefulness of line, this mosaic of the ground,
this fresco of the sky, this glowing fruitage of
the orchard and vineyard, this full orchestra
of the tempest, in which the tree branches
flute and the winds trumpet, and the thun
ders drum, and all tbe splendors of the earth
and sky come clashing their symbals? For
whom did God spring tbe arched bridge of
colors resting upon tbe buttresses of broken
storm-cloud? For whom did he gather the
upholstery of fire around the window of the
setting sun? Fot all men, but more especial
ly for hi&owcl Il Vr children.
If you build a large mansion, and spread: a
great feast after it to celebrate the completion
of the structure, do yea allow strangera to-
some in and occupy the place while you thrust
your own children in the kitchen or the barn
or the fields? Oh no. Yon say, “I am very
glad to see strangers in my mansion, but my
own sons anddaughters shall have the first
fight there." Now, God has built this grand
mansion of a woiHd; aud He has spread a.glo
rious feast in it;: and while those who are
strangers to His grace may come in, I think
that God especially intends to give the advan
tage to His own children, those who are tne
sons aud the daughters of the Lord Almighty,
those who through grace ean look up and say:
“Abba. Father."' You cannot make me be
lieve that God gives- more advantages to the
world than He gives to the church bought by
His own blood. If,, therefore, people of the
wor d have looked with dolorous sympathy
upon those who make profession of religion,
aud have said, “Those new conver s are going
down into privation and into hardship. Why
did not they tarry, a little longer in the world,

This morning, in. the name of the King of
heaven and earth, I serve a writ of: ejection
upon all the sinful and polluted who have
squatted on the domain of earthly pleasures
as though it belonged to them, while I claim,
in behalf of the good and the pure and the
true, the eternal inheritance which God has
given them.
Hitherto, Christian philanthropists, clerical
and lay, have busied themselves chiefly in de
nouncing sinful recreations; but I fsel we have-
no right to stand before men and women in
whose hearts there is a desire for recreation
amounting to positive necessity,, denouncing
this and that and the other thing, when we do
not propose to give them something bet or.
God helping me this morning, and with refer
ence to my last account, I shall enter upon, a
sphere not usuai in sermonizing, but a sub
ject which 1 think ought to be presented at
this time. I propose now to lay before you
some of the recreations which are not only in
nocent, but positively helpful and advanta
geous.
In the first place, I commend, among indoor
recreations, music, vocal and instrumental.
Among the first things created was the- bird,
so that the earth might have music at the
start. This world, which began with so sweet
a serenade, is finally to be demolished amidst
the ringing blast of the archangel’s trumpet,
so that as there was music at the start, there
shall be music at the close. While this heav
enly art has often been dragged into tbe uses
of superstition and d ssipation, we all know it
may be tbe means of high moral culture. Oh,
it is a grand thing to have our children
brought up amidst the sound of cultured
voices and amidst the melody of musical in
struments. There is in this art an indescriba
ble fascination for the housahold. Let all
those families who have the means to afford
it, have flute or harp, or piano or organ. As
soon as the hand is large enough to compass
the keys, teach it how to pick out the melody.
Let ail the young men try this heavenly art
upon their nature. Those who have gone into
it fully have found in it illimitable recreation
and amusement. Dark days, stormy nights,
seasons of sickness, business disasters, will do
little towaid depressing the soul which can
gallop over musical keys or soar in j ubilant
lay. It will cure pain. It will rest fatigue. It
will quell passion. It will revive health. It
will reclaim dissipation. It will strengthen
the immortal soul. In the battle of Waterloo,
Wellington saw that the Highlanders were
falling back: He said. “What is the matter
there?” He was told that the band of music
had ceased playing, and he called up the pip
ers and ordered them to strike up an inspirit
ing air; and no sooner did they stiike the air
than the ikghlacders were rallied, and helped
to win the day. Oh, ye who have been routed
in the confl cts of life, try by the force of
music to rally your scattered battalions.
1 am glad to know that in our great cities
there is hardly a night in which there are not
concerts, where with the best musical instru
ments and the sweetest voices, people may
find entertainment- Patronize such entertain
ments when they are afforded you. Buy sea
son tickets, if you can, for the “Philharmo
nic" and the‘Handel and Haydn" societies.
Feel that the dollar and a half or two dollars
that you spend for the purpose of hearing an
artist play or sing is a profitable investment.
Let yonr S einway balls and academies of
music roar with the acclamation of apprecia
tive audiences assembled at the concert or
the oratorio.
Still fur. her: I commend, as worthy of their
support, the gymnasium. This institution is
gaining in favor every year, and I know of
nothing more free from dissipation or more
calculated to recuperate the physical and men
tal energies. While there are a good many
people who have employed this institution,
there are a vast number who are ignorant of
its excellencies. There are men with cramped
chests and weak aides and despondent spirits
who, through the gymnasium, might be roused
up to exuberance and exhilaration of life
There are many Christian people despondent
from year to year who might, through such an
institution, be benefitted in their spiritual re
latione. There are Christian people wno seem
to think that it is a good sign to be poorly;
and because Richard Baxter and Robert Hall
were invalids, they think that by the same
sickness they may come to the same grandenr
of character. I want to tell the Christian peo
ple of my congregation that God will hold you
responsible for j our invalidism if it is your
fault, and when through right exercise and
prudence you might be athletic and well. The
effect of the body on the sonl you acknowl
edge. Put a man of mild disposition upon the
animal diet of which the Indian partakes, and
in a little while the blood will change its chem
ical proportions. It will become like unto the
blood of the lion or the tiger or the bear, while
his disposition will change and become fierce,
cruel and unrelenting. The body has a pow
erful effec; upon the soul.
There are good people whose ideas of Hea
ven are all shut out wi‘h clouds of tobacco
smoke. There are people who dare to shatter
the physical vase in which God has put the
jewel of eternity. There are men with great
nearts and intellects in bodies worn out by
their own neglects—magnificent machinery
capable of propelling a Great Eastern across
the Atlantic, yet fastened in a rickety North
River propeller. Martin Luther was so mighty
for God, first, because he had a noble soul,
and, secondly, because he bad a muscular de
velopment which would have enabled him to
thrash any five of his persecutors if it had been
Christian so to do. Ph}sical development
which merely shows itself in fabulous lifting,
or in perilous rope-walking, or in pugilistic en-
cointer excites only our contempt; but we
confess to great admiration for the man who
has a great soul in an athletic body, every
nerve, muscle and bone of which is conse
crated to right uses. Oh! it seems to me out
rageous that men, through neglect, should al
low their phsical health to godowi beyond re
pair. A ship which ought, with all sail set
and every man at bis post, to be carrying a
rich cargo for eternity, employing ail its men
in stopping up leakages! When you may,
through the gymnasium, work off your spleen
and querulousDess and one-balf of yonr phys
ical aLd mental ailments, do not turn your
back upon such a grand medicament.
Still further: I commend to yon a large
class of parlor games and recreations. There
is a way of making our homes a hundred- fold
more attractive than they are now. Those pa
rents cannot expect to keep their children
away from outside dissipations unless they
make the domestic circle brighter than any
thing they can find outside of it. Do not,
then, sit in your home surly and unsympa
thetic, and with a half condemnatory look,
because of the sportfulness of your children.
You were young once yourself; let your chil
dren be young. Because your eyes are dim
and your ankles are stiff, do not denounce
sportfulDess in those upon whose eyes there is
the first lustre aud in whose foot there is the
bounding joy of robust health. I tbank God
that in our drawing-rooms and in our parlors
there are innumerable games and sports which
have not upon them the least taint of iniquity.
Light up ali your homes with innocent hilari
ties. Do not sit down with the rheumatism
wondering how children can go on so. Rather
tbank God that their hearts are so light and
their laughter is so free, and that their >heeka
are so ruddy and their expectations are so ra
diant. The night will come soon enough, and
the heart break, and’ the pang, and the desola
tion—it will come soon enough for the dear
children. But when the storm actually cJonds
the sky it will be time enough for you to haul
out your reef tackles.
Carry, then, into your own homes not only
the innocent sports- and games which are the
inventions of our own day, but the games
which come down with the sportfulness of all
the past ages—chess,, and charades, and tab
leaux, and battledore, and calisthenics, and
lawn-tennis, and all'those amusements which
tbe young people of our homee know so well
how to contrive. Then there will be the par
lor socialities—groups of people assembleddn
jour homes, with wit and mimicry and jovial
ity filling the room with joy from door to man
tel and from the carpet to the ceiling. Ob, is
there any exhilaration like a score of genial
souls in one room, each one adding a contri
bution of his own individual merriment to the
aggregation of general hilarity ?
Suppose you want to go abroad in the city,
then you will find the panorama and the art
galleries and the exquisite collections of pic
tures. You will find the Metropolitan muse
um. and the historical society rooms full of
rare curiosities, and scores of places which can
stand plainly the test of what is right and
wrong in amusements. You will find the lec
turing hall, which has- been honored by the
names of Agas'iz in natural history. Deremus
in chemistrj, Boynton in geology, Mitchell in
astronomy, John B (Sough in moral reform,
and scores and hundreds of men who have
poured their wit and genius and ingenuity
through that particular channel upon the
hearts and consciences and imaginations of
man, setting this country fifty years farther in
advance than it would have been without the
lecture platform.
I rejoice in the popolarization of: outdoor
sports. I hail the croquet ground and tbe fish
erman’s rod, and the sportsman’s gun. In
our cities life is so unhealthy and unnatural
that when a census-taker represents a city as
having four hundred thousand inhabitants,
there are only two hundred thousand, since
it takes at least two> men to amount to one
man, so depleting and unnerving, and ex.
: hausting is this metropolitan life. We want
more fresh air, more sunlight, more ef the
abandon of field-sports. I try out for it in be
half of the church of God as well; as in behalf
of secular interests. I wish that this winter
our ponds and our rivers and our Capitoline
grounds might be all equake with the heel and
the shout of the swift skater. 1 wish that
when the warm, weather comes,, the graceful
oar might dip the stream, and the evening-
tide be resonant with boatman’s song, the
bright prow splitting the crystalline billow.
We shall have the smooth ana grassy lawn,
and we will call out people of all occupations
and professions, and ask them to join in the
ball-player’s sport You will come back from
these outdoor exercises and recreations with
strength ia your arm, and color in your theek,
and a flash, in your eye, and courage in yonr
heart. In this great battle that is evening
attains; the kingdom of darkness we want not
only the consecrated soul, but a strong arm
aud stout lungs and mighty muscle. I bless
God that there are so many recreations that
have not on them any taint of iniquity; recre
ations in which we may engage for the
strengthening of the body, for the clearing of
the intellect, for the illumination of the soul.
There is still another form of recreation
which I commend to you, and that is the
pleasure of doing good. I have seen young
men, weak and cross and sour and repelling in
their disposition, who by one heavenly touch
have wakened up and become blessed and
buoyant, the ground under their feet and the
sky over their heads breaking forth into
music. “Oh,” says some young man in the
house to day, “I should like that recreation
above all others, but I have not the means.”
My dear brother, let us take an account of
stock this morning. You have a large estate,
if you only realize it. Two hands. Two feet.
You will have, perhaps, during the next year
at least ten dollars for charitable contribution.
You will have twenty-five hundred cheerful
looks, if you want to employ them. You will
have five thousand pleasant words, if you
want to speak them. Now what an amonnt
that U to start with!
Yon go out to-morrow morning and you see
a case of real destitution by the wayside. You
give him two cents. The blind man hears tbe
pennies rattle in his hat, and he says: “Thank
you, sir; God bless you.” You pass down the
street, trying to look indifferen:; but you feel
from the very depth of your soul a profound
satisfaction that you made that man happy.
You go on still farther, and find a poor boy
with a wheelbarrow, trying to get it uo on the
curbstone. He fails in the attemDt. You say;
“Stand back, my lad; let me try.” You push
it up on the curbstone for him, and pass on.
He wonders who that well-dressed man was
that helped him. Yon did a kindness to the
boy, but you did a great joy to your own
soul. You will not get over it all the week.
On the street, tomorrow morning, you will
see » sick man passing along. “Ah,”.you sav,
“what ean I do to make tbis-man. happy? Ha
certainly does not want money; he is not poor,
but he is sick ” Give him one of those twenty-
five hundred cheerful looks that yon have gar
nered up for the whole year. Look joy and
hopefulness into his soul. It will thrill him
through, and there will be a reaction upon yonr
own sonl. Going a little farther on, yon will
oome to tbe store of a friend who is embarrass
ed in bnsiness matters. Yon will go in and
say, “What a fine store yon have! I think
business will brighten np, and you will have
more custom after a while. I think there is
coming a great prosperity to all the county.
Good morniDg.” You pass out You have
helped that young man, and you have helped
yonrself. And that night yon go home; yon
sit by the fire, yon talk a little, yon sing a
little, yon laugh a little; yon say, “I really
don’t know what is the matter with me.
never felt so splendidly in my life." I will
tell yon what is the matter with you. You
spent only two cents oat of the ten dollars
yon have contributed one out of twenty-five
hundred cheerful looks; you have given ten
fifteen or twenty of the five thousand pleasant
words yon are goiDg to speak during the year,
you have with your own bands, helped the
boy with the wheelbarrow, and you feel in
body, mind and soul the thrill of that recrea
tion. Which do you think was the happier—
Colonel Gardiner, who sat with his elbow on a
table spread with all evtravagant viands, look
ing ofi at a dog on the rug, saying, “How 1
would like to change places with him; I be the
dog and he be Colonel Gardiner;” or choose
two Moravian missionaries who wanted to go
into the lazaretto for the sak* of attending the
sick, and they were told, “If you go in there,
you will never come out. We never allow any
one to come out, for he would bring the conta
gion." Then they made their wills and went
iu, first to help the sick, and then to die.
Which was the happier—Colonel Gardiner, or
the Moravian missionaries dying for others?
Was it all sacrifice when the missionaries
wanted to briDg the gospel to the negroes at
the Barbadoes, aud, being denied the privi
lege, sold themselves into slavery, standing
side by side, and lying side by side down in
the very ditch of suffering, in order that they
might bring those men np to life and God and
heaven? Oh, there is a thrill in the joy of
doing good! It is the most magnificent recrea
tion ot which a man ever puts his hand or his
head or big heart.
But, before closing, I want to impress upon
you that mere secular entertainments are not
a fit foundation for your soul to build on.
I was reading of a woman who had gone all
the rounds of sinful amusement, and she came
to die. See said, ‘T will die tonight at six
o’clock ” “Oh,” they said, “I guess not, you
don’t seem to be sick.” “I shall die at six
o’clock, and my soul will be lost. I know it
will be lost. I have sinned away my day of
grace.” The noon came. They desired to
seek religious counsel.
“Oh,” she said, “it is of no use. My day is
gone. I have been all the rounds of worldly
pleasures, and it is to late. I shall die tonight
at six o'clock." The day wore away, and it
cime to four o’clock, and to five o’clock, and
she cried out at five o’clock, “Destroyed spir
its, ye shall not have me yet, it is not six, it is
not sixT’ The moments went by, and the
shadow began to gather, and the clock struck
six, and while it was striking her soul went.
What hour God will call for us I do not know
—whether six tonight, or three o’clock this
afternoon, or at one o’clock, or at this moment.
Sitting where you are, falling forward, or stand
ing where you are, dropping down, where
would you go to?
But our hour for ad journing is already come,
and the last hour of our life will soon be here,
and from that hour we will review this day’s
proceedings. It will be a solemn hour. If
from our death-pillow we have to look back
and see a life spent in sinful amusement, there
will be a dart that will strike through our soul
sharper than the dagger with which Vlrginius
slew his child. The memory of the past will
make us quake like Macbeth. The iuiqaities
and rioting through which we have passed will
come upon us, weird and skeleton as Meg Mer-
rillies. Death, tbe old Shylock, will demand,
and take, the remaining pound of flesh and
the remaining drop of blood; and upon our
last opportunity for repentance, and our last
chance for heaveu, the curtain will forever
drop.
“SHK”
Imp'Obabilltles Sometimes Become
Realities—A True Womans Fidelity.
Several works bearing unique titles, written
in fascinating style, and giving evidence of
wonderful imaginative power have lately been
received by the reading public with mueh
popularity and pleasure.
Perhaps the most striking of them is the
book bearing the odd title of ‘“She.” In this
the author has fairly outdone himself in his
popular line. Ayeeha and her beloved Kalii-
krates are unique characters in fiction. Ayes-
ha, tbe heroine, is a beautiful creature who
tasted of the essence of nature's forces at the
fountain bead, and became immortal.
Her patient waiting for the coming of Kalli-
krates, the beloved of’her youth, whose indi
viduality was maintained through centuries,
though the change called death regularly oc
curred, only to be fallowed by, re-birth is a fine
illustration of woman’s fidelity.
The closing scene,, when she conducts Kalli-
krates to the very center of the earth, the
birthplace of all life, in order that he may
taste of immortality, is a fit climax to the fine
creation.
The questian naturally suggested by this
strikingly original story is whether there is
not somewhere in nature, apotent force where
by liie may at least be temporarily prolonged.
Mrs. Anuie Jeuness Miller, editor of Dress
says: “In every instance Warner’s Safe Cure
has the effect to give new energy and vitality
to all my powers,” Mme. Gray, teacher of
Oratory and Physical Culture at Syracuse, de
clares: “Before I tried physical culture and
Warner’s safe cure, I. was a confirmed invalid.
1 owe much to that excellent remedy, and do
not hesitate to acknowledge it.”
Human life seems too short though men
in former ages lived longer than those of the
present. History tells us that they lived more
in accordance with nature's laws—their mode
of living was extremely simple, and in their
daily life they folio wed the dictates of human
intelligence.
If sickness comes, we of to-day, seek the
remedy among the artificial forces instead of
resorting to the field of nature.
If when diseases come, we would consult
nature, the chances are that we would fare
