The Empty (nulls.
t"iK yat besido the cradle,
And her tears worn siredrntug fast,
For sho sees tl»■ piesent only,
While she thinks ot all the past—
Of the (lavs sc full of gladness.
When her first-born’s answering kiss
Thrilled iter soul with such a rapture
That k iew no other bliss.
Oh, those happy, happy moments,
They but depen her despair!
For she bonds ahovo the eradlo
And hoi baby is not thore.
There the words of comfort spoken,
And the leaden clouds of grief 1
Wear the smiling bow of promise,
And sho fuels a sad relief.
I5ut her wavering thoughts will wander!
Ti!l they settle on the scene
Of tho dark and silent chamber,
And of all that might have been;
For a little vacant garment,
Or a shining tress of hair,
Tells her heart in tones of anguish,
That her baby is not there.
She sits beside the cradle.
But her tears no longer Dor •
For sho sees a blessed vision.
And forgets all earthly woo.
Saintly eyes leek down upon her,
And the voice that hushed the sea
Stills tier spirit with tho whisper,
"Suffer them to come to Me.’’
And while now her soul is lifted
On tho soaring wings of prayer.
Heaven's crystal gates swing inward
And sho sees tier baby there."
‘HJe not Conformed to tills World.**
Rom. xii: 2.
Messenger of Peace.
I am not going to write a sermon, hut
an article proper for any periodical,
moral, religious, literary, or political.
I have long been deeply grieved, to
see. in actual life, so little difference
between the large body of professed
Christians and the people of the world.
Roth classes run very much, with little
exception, in the same channel.
Let us now look a little at the peoplo
of tho world, w hom 1 shall call sinners,
and those termed the people of GdS,
whom I shall call Christ^ ns, and see
how much difference wo 'can find in
their conduct. Now, let me say here
tfyat all professed Christians, blessed be
God. are not conformed to this world,
but;, alas.' such ones are “like angels’
visits, few and far botween.’’
1. Do sinners strive hard through life
to amass wealth for their personal grat¬
ification and to leave for their children,
who do not need it? So do Chiistians.
2. Do sinners seek the highest posts
of boner and power in a world that re-,
gards not God ? So do Christians.
3. Are sinners pleased with honorary
titles 4. Do add sinners degrees? dress So themselves are Christians. and j
j
their families in fine, rich apparel, and
follow strictly tiro fashionable style,
however contrary to reason? So do
Christians.
5. Do sinners allow sinners to live and
die in common poor houses, without
due regard to their comfort and Christians tender
sensibilities of soul? So do
allow Christians. i
G. Do sinners adopt the wrong max¬
im, “No friendship in trade,’’ and sell
as high as possible, and then turnabout
and buy as low as possible with little or
no regar d to the necessities and suffer-'
ing of others? So do Christians.
7. Do sinners take a high rate of in¬
terest. on money ? So do Christians.
8. Do sinners put the best appear¬
ance on what they offer for sale, and
the w orst appearance on what they wish
to buy ? So do Christians.
9. Do Sinners take and read light,
ficticious newspapers and magazines,
and n gleet thereby to read the Bible
and pool and sound reading? So do
Christians.
10. Do sinners visit circuses, horse
races, and otner places of vain amuse¬
ment? So do Christians.
11. Do sinners build costly and showy
houses, and furnish them magnificently?
So do Christians.
12 Do sinners chooso the legal pro¬
fession, and in their arguments stren¬
uously endeavor to make a jury believe
what they do not believe themselves?
So do Chiistians.
J3 Do sinners purchase the best
peats in a meeting-'house, and thereby
compel the poor to sit in remote parts
of the bouse, or rf too poor to buy or
hire so us to remain at home ? So do
Christians.
14. Do sinners refuse, or neglect to
deny themselves for the good of the
UV}: OWN SK‘IC'I‘$(‘).\'r-\\'E LABOR i-‘Oli HS. AD\'.~XX&1§£5‘.E~1.\' i‘.

needy and suffering? So do Christiana.
Id. Arc sinners often haughty, and
neglectful of the comfort and feelings
of their man servants and maid serv¬
ants, and of tho unfortunate and poor
in general ? So are Christians.
id- Dosirners often indulge in joking,
loud and senseless laughter, low, coarse
and vain conversation ? So do Chris¬
tians.
17. Do sinners use tobacco freely,
and from day to day ? So do Chiris
thns.
18. Do sinners command militia com¬
panies and regiments ? So do Chris-
tians,
19. Do sinners attend military schools,
to Iflarn tho trade of human butchery,
and become pleased and proud of th -
trade, and in time of war not stop to
inquire wbothor the cause is just or un¬
just, but enter tho army and fight as
furious and unfeeling as with beasts,
and, after tho war, return to their
homej, expecting to receive, and feeling
that they ought to receive the highest
honors and offices in the gift of their
countrymen ? So do Christiana,
20, Do sinners vote for incapable, un
suitable, and immoral inert, because
they belong to their political party ? So
do Christians,
21. Do sinners annrove of the des
truction of human life on the gallows?
So do Christians.
22. Do sinners join secret societies
which demand irreverent and oven
blasphemous oaths previous to member¬
ship? So do Christians.
22. Do sinners send their sons to mil¬
itary schools. So do Christians.
A number of years ago a professed
Christian was in a perplexity of mind.
lie said lie could not decide whether to
pend his son to West L'oint Military
Academy to make him a warrior, or to
Andover Theological Seminary to make
him a minister—two very wide ex
tremes in human life, one for tho dos
truction and the other for the salvation
of mankind. I never knew how ho deci
ded.
But T have no heart, to follow this
lamentable subject of how professed
Christians pattern after tho world,
and not after Christ, the Christian’s cx>
ample. I am no enemy of the Church.
I have been a member of an evangelic¬
al church nearly fifty roars, and as to
being “conformed to this world,” I can
not say l have been sinless, but let
truth bo obeyed, and God have mercy
on us all.
John T1 emmknwav.
Minneapolis, Mimi., May 2.7, 1881
How He Won The Motley, or Couldn’t
be Stuck,
Nino persons sailed from Brattloboro
down the Connecticut river. Among
them was a shrewd New Englander
who wished to go to Hanover upon con¬
dition that ho would givo the ct plain
one dollar for his passage. Now it is
true something jingied in tho New En
glandor’s pocket when ho had struck
his hand agaiustit; but the only money
was a twenty-five cent piece for
the other was a brass button.
Notwithstanding this he accepted the
offer with gratitude; for he thought to
himself, • “Something may be earned
even upon the water. Who can deny
that many a man has grown rich upon
the Connecticut river?’
During the first part of the voyage
tho passengers were talkative and mer¬
ry. Rut as the vessel sailed onward
tire passengers one after another grew
silent and gaped and gazed listlosslv
down tho river until one cried to tho
New Englander:
‘ Come, now- do you know any pas¬
time that will amuse us?’
“Now is tho time,’ thought tho New
Englander, “to shear my sheep.’
He then proposed that they should
sit around in a circle with him. Those
who could not answer thequostions any
one proposed should pay tho one who
propounded them a twenty-five cent
piece, and those who answered them
pertinently should reeieva a twenty
five cent piece.
This proposal pleased tho company
and hoping to divert themselves with
the New Englander's wit or stupidity,
each one asked at random whatover
chanced to enter his head. Thus, for
example, the first asked.
“Who prolougs his work to as groat
length as possible aud completes it iu
time?”
All said it was impossible to answer
that question; but the Now Englander
said:
“The rope maker, if ho is industri¬
ous.’
And tho others paid him twenty-five
cents.
“Wait,’thought the second; “I will
try you at the Bible and I tbiuk I shall
win my piece ’
“Why did tho Anostlo 1 * ml wri o iho
second epistle to the Corinthians?’
“Because he was not in Corinth,’ said
the New Englander. ‘Otherwise ho
would havo spoken to them.’
S-> ho won another pioeo.
Tho third tried him in a different
way
‘ There are two brothers and still only
ono of them is my uncle,’
“Tho uncle is your father’s brother,’
said tho New Englander, ‘ and your
father is not your undo.’
“A fish nmv leaped out of the water
and the fourth askod
“What fish havo their eyes nearest to¬
gether!’
“Tho smallest, said tho New' En¬
glander.
Tho fifth asked:
“How can a man lido from Hanover
to Brattloboro in the shade, in the sum-.
mer->time when tho sun shines?’
“When becomes to a place where
thore is no shade he must
and go on foot,’ said tho New England¬
er,
The sixth asked.
“When a man rides in tho winter
time from Brattloboro to Hanover and
has forgotten his gloves (row must ho
manage so that his hands shall not
freeze?’
“Ho must mako fists out of them,’
said tiro Now Englander.
'Pile seventh asked.
“How can five persons divide five eggs
so that oach man will reoiava one, and
still one remain in tho dish?'
“Tho last mam must take tho dish
with the egg,’ said the New Englander
“and he can let it lie as long as you
please.’
Tho eighth, who was tho last asked.
“In what month do tho peoplejof Han¬
over eat the least'
“In February,’said tire New England¬
er, ‘for it has only twentvseigh da vs.’
But now it come to Ins turn and ht
detortninod to make a good swoop so
he began.
“How can a man fry two trouts in
t hree pans so that a trout -nay Do in
each pan?’
No one could answer this and ono
after another gave him a twenty-five
cent piece; but when the eight desired
chat should solve the riddle ho rocked
to and fro, shrugged his shoulders and
rolled his eyes.
“You seo, I am a poor man,’ said ho
at last,
“What has that to do with it?’ cried
tiro rest. “Give us tho answer.’
“You must not take it amiss.’ said
too New Englander, “for 1 am very
poor.'
At last after much persuasion ho
thrust his hand into Iris [rocket took
out ouo of the pices ho had won laid it
upon tho table and said.
“i do not know the answer any more
than you. Hero is my piece.’
When the others heard this they op
ened their eyes aud said it was scarce¬
ly according to the agreement. But as
they could not control their laughter and
were wealthy and good matured men
and as the New Englander had helped
them to while away tho timo on the
voyage they let it, pass and the Now
Englander took with him -let us see.
Ho had eight twenty-live cent pieces
by his answers oi^ht with his own rid¬
dle one iu his pocket to start with <,qo
he gave back and four he gave to the
~
captain. —[“Golden Days.’
<A> —-—
An elderly lady who was very indig¬
nant at tho conduct of a man in a Gal
vestou street car who was smoking
punched tho driver in tho hack with
her umbrella, and asked. “Driver ain’t
it agin tiro rules to smoke iu this car?'
“You can smoke as much as you please,
madam if the gentlemen don’t object,’
was the response. Thou sho rang the
hell and got out.
A minister out in the far West who
had bei n troubt- da good deal over mar¬
riage fees, issued the following cir¬
cular and price list. “Ono Marriage
plain, $2; kissing the bride 8:} ; trim¬
med with one groomsman and one
bridesmaid, .■84; fifty cents extra for
each additional groomsman or br ides¬
maid bachelors past forty will be char¬
ged extra; maids of age ten per cent,
off Mileage will be charged in long
distance matches. Liberal reduction
to clubs Payments in cash no notes
or securities accepted. No money re¬
funded or rebates made for poor goods.
Come early and come often.'
It is gratifying to learn that tho re
visers of the Bible have not made any
changes in the genealogy with which
tho Gospel of St, Matthew begins. To
know that our pad grees are all right is
a great comfort.
