There's noth ing like it, after a hurd day's work, to cheer man up." "Thank you, Joe not to-night" "Have you signed the pledge gone over to the enomy ?" " No not that, but, the truth is, Joe, I promised that little woman of mine to be home early to-night, andand" "Tut, man, you're not going to allow yourself to be tied by a woman's npron string in that stylo, are you? That will be a good joke to tell the boys. Come in and take a glass, or I'll blow." John Burns' weakest point of character was a dread of ridicule. This his compan ion well know, and had chosen his weapons accordingly; and now he Btood holding the door half open, allowing the light and warmth, and boon companions within to aid him in his purpose, forming, as they did, a striking contrast to the wet, muddy street. - - John Burnshesitated one moment before he entered, while there arose before his mind's eye a pale pleading little face that had been lifted to his that morning, and a Bwcet voice had pleaded: "Come homo early to-night, dear; I shall have such a nice supper, and please don't let it spoil." Sho had spoken playfully, without nny allusion to his besetting sin; yet ho well un derstood the wistful pleading of tlie blue eyes, tho deep undercurrent of feeling that caused tho tremor in tho musical voice. Knowing this, ho had promised, sealing tho promise, with a kiss, holy in its tender ness. Sho was waiting for him now, ho knew; peering out. into tho Ktorm to se.o if he was coming. Tho knowledge madu him strong. Love had nearly gained the vic tory; but the temper was at hand and the influences of tlie pluco wcro around him. llo yielded, and when once in ho was in no hasto to leave, for though the weight of a broken promiso was upon him, and the thought of the cheerful home and the pa tient wife that awaited his coining, caused his conscience to upbraid him, he found it hard to tear himself away from tho gay company and tho light and warmth of the place to go out into thn drizzly rain and cold, damp streets, for though tlie month was June, the day would have been more in place in November one of those cold, disagreeable days that our northern climate sometimes thrusts in among tho June roses. John Burns and Joe Hcmey were me chanics, working for the same employer and receiving the samo amount of wages; but their circumstances in lifo were very difl'ercnt. John Burns was one of those tieoplo of whom we frequently hear it said: "He is his own worst enemy." Ho was kind and generous to a fault, but ho lacked firmness of character. With Homey everything seemed to prosper, for though drinking a glass occasionally, he never drank to excess. By nature ho was grasping and penurious. Upon the evening in question, as soon as tho two men had received and drank the the liquor they had called for, Joo Herney paid for his glass and passed out, but tho temptation of tho place was upon Burns, and tho shades of twilight had deepened into night ere ho turned his unsteady steps homeward. A walk of half an hour through the wet and gloom brought him to a small cottage in tho suburbs of the city. A pretty place, when seen in to sunshine, with its cliuging vines and sheltering trees; but looking gloomy enough in the darkness and storm, with the wind wailing through the trees and strewing tho path with tho petals of John Burns' choicest roses. He paused under the vine-sheltered door way to gain courage to enter. How should he meet those earnest blue eyes that had never given him an unkind look, even when heavy with the weight of unshed tears? Ho knew sho was waiting, for him, for out through the half-open shutter came a tide of bright light, and ho could catch a glimso of the cosy home scone. Whfte ho stood thus, tho sound of approaching foot steps and the utterance of his own name arrested his attention. "Oh, it is sure to be sold I John Burns will never pay off the mortgage." "He may get an extension of time, or boirow the money." " No. HarclifY is not the man to wait for his money. And who would lend money to a man like Burns? He spends too much time and money at the drinking saloons for bis credit to be good. Tou should have seen him to-night at Williams' spending his money as though there was no end to It." " I am sorry, for John is a good-hearted fellow." " Yes, I pity him; but it can't be helped. And when the place is sold, as it is sure to be, I have a few hundreds laid by to Invest in it. It will be sold cheap, and I shall make a good thing of it." The speaker bad paused before the gate while speaking, and John, without being seen, had heard all, and recognised In the would-be purchaser bin fellow-workman,. Jo Herney. ' . , ' 1 It Is not In the power of pen of mine to describe the storm of emotion that shook his frame as he heard these comments upon his worldly affairs. " Great Heaven I have I, indeed sunk so low ? I have been blind blind I I thank you, Joe Herney, for opening my eyes. I think I understand your game now. Buy it, will you? We'll sco. John Burns is not quite the poor sot you take him to be." . He shook his clenched fist after the re treating figures and took a step toward the gate as though he would follow them. But a detaining hand was laid upon his shoulder and a woman's voice spoke his name. " Why, John, what is the matter? Come in out of the storm." 1 And she drew him, with gentlo force, in to the cosy apartment. "Oh, the scoundrel 1 and I thought him my friend. It is his fault that I am as I am to-night. I should havo kept my prom ise but for him." " But for who, my dear ?" "Joe Herney. Ho enticed me into Wil liams' to-night, or I should have come homo sober. But it is the last time the last time 1 I will never touch another drop of strong drink while I live." " Oh, if I might believe it." "You may, Jano, you may. I have broken my promises, I know, but this I will keep with Heaven's help." "Oh thank Heaven for theso blessed words." " I know, Jano, that you aro surprise d at this sudden resolve; but sit down here in your old place on my knee and I will tell you, anil when you have heard tho history of this evening you will better uudurstaud mo." " First havo oil' your wet coat and muddy hoots and cat your supper will you not ?" "Thank you for tho dry coat and slip pers, but supper can wait. I want to tell you now." Then followed nn account of incidents of tho evening, already known to the render, from tho time he paused before tho door of the saloon to tho conversation overheard at the cottago gate. "And June," he continued, "when I heard those words 1 saw my true position, as I never saw it before. You had ofton reasoned with mo, prayed for me, but I never before realized my danger. While Joe was speaking there came with tho quickness of lightning and with all its viv idness, the vision of ruin to myself and fam ily, and 1 made a resolve that moment, with Heaven's help, to reform. Is it not strange that the word enemy of an should have more inrluci co than tho prayers of a faithful loving wifo?" " It was the Lord's chosen way of an swering my prayers, John. His ways are past finding out." ' June roses had twice bloomed and faded since the opouing of our story, and now tho rose bushes aro borcft of their leaves, and the vine over the door wears the russet hue of autumn, tho little path is strewn with the fallen leaves as wo again enter the hum ble dwelling. It is evening, tho family are gathered around the table to partake of tho evening meal. John Burns, with bowed head, asks tho blessings of tho Almighty to rest njion tho food ere they partake of the bountiful supply of good things. Tho neat and cosy appearance of every thing within and without tho dwelling tell at a glance John Burns has kept his resolve. The victory had not been nn easy one. Sometimes it seemed that ho warred with the powers and principalities of darkness, but early In tho strugglo ho had learned to look to tho right sourco for help. In tho end ho had triumphed, and wo find him prosperous nnd happy. The debt that at one time threatened to deprive him of his little home, by industry and strict economy, Imd been paid, and by unswerving upright ness he hail re-established his good name. How was it with Joe Herney? Things had not suemod to prosper with hiin of lato. He had become a frequent visitor of tho dramshop, his property had fallen to rack, his credit was impaired, and his family ill cared for. It seemed as though the curse invoked upon tho man who putteth the bottle to lfls neighbor's lips had fallen upon him. lEoniancc Bulled Down.

It requires a mnrtyr-liko courage in these days, when pride and worldlincss has al most universal sway, to stand up in ono's Christian integrity and maintain the gospel standard. And to rebuke fashion when it presents such a bold front in the Christian Curch, is no light crucifixion. Worldly professors of religion, who come to the house of Clod, " walking nnd minc ing as they go," bedecked with tinkling ornaments nnd Babylonish garments, to take tho upper-most seats In the sanctuary, do not. want to ho told of the sinfulness of worldly conformity, or hear the bitter de nunciations of God's Word against pride. They come to the church on Sunday as they go to tho theater, or tho concert, on tho week day, to show their fine clothes and bo entertained. And a Gospel to suit them must be diluted; all the ugly facts about self-denial, cross bearing aud humil ity must be glossed over or wreathed with the flowers of poetry and eloquence. They have taken the vows of the chuich without any purpose to fulfill them. Like Ananias and Sapphira, they have perjured themselves by keeping back part of the price. Worldlinoss has so deadened their sen sibilities that they can go to tho commun ion table with a garland of ilowers on their brow to commemorate the death and suf ferings of Him who wore n crown of thorns, aud stretch out jeweled hands to tako the emblems of His broken body, whose hands were pierced with nails. WHh tho Laodiceans they say: " I am rich increased with goods, and have need of nothing;" mid know not "that they aro wretched, and miserable, and blind and nuked," in his sight, whoso " eyes are as a flame of fire." In Brazil there is a vine, called tho Matador, or Murderer. It creeps along the ground till it meets a vigorous tree, which it eagerly fastens upon, and throwing out its tendrils, clasps in murderous embrace. Climbing higher, and higher, aud grow ing stronger, and stronger, it saps tho life current of its victim, nor stays its till tho top most bough is reached. And when its work of death is done, it blooms and scat ters its seed for another murderous course. Worldliuess is the Matador of the church it is slowly creeping in nnd clasping it in a murderous embrace. Where aro the bravo, true workers who will lay the axo at tho root and help to tear it from its place ? It will require no less courngo to-day to stand up nnd rebtiko and turn back tho tide of worldliuess nud vanity from Ihe church, than it did in other yetirs to stand up for Christ in the midst of the Humes. Not Doctrine, But ( hrlst. It is not truth, but Him who is tho " Truth and the Lilb," you are to love. It is not virtue, but Him who embodies it, you are to admire. It is not power, but Hiin who wields it with the heart of a lover and the band of a friend, you aie to address in prayers. It is not purity, white as a mar ble statute, robed in snowy drapery, you are to admire, but Him, the warm, living embodiment of it whose absolute stainless ness is tinted with the warm glow of his humanity, and whose form is not of chisel ed alabaster, immobile and rigid, but vi brant with sympathy and as sensitive to emotion, as a happy mother to the cry and touch of her first bom. It it not just at this point that we are able to see why re ligion is so cold and uuexpressive in the case of almost all of us t Our philosophy is at fault. We have put truth in front of Him who revealed It. We keep the principles but lose the person of Christ. We , associ ate our lives, in their growth, with a few great principles, instead of with the on great God. , W have preached to defend and explain creed mors than to present Jesus to the bearer. ; W have lost sight of the sua In our eager chat to capture th sunbeams; and Christ might aay, in a vole which should havo in it the sadness and rebuke of all ages: 4f You have loved my doctrines more than you have me I Iter.

' Soon after, needing some money and not finding ready sale for the land at cost, ho sold it to Brown nt a loss of 30 per cent. Brown subsequently sold it to Jones at 40 per cent, less than Smith had paid for it, with the proviso that if Jones sold it at a' profit, Brown was to have one-third of the gain. Jones sold it for (!0 per cent, abovo what it had cost him, and then settled with Brown according to agreement. What was each person's loss or gain in the transac tion, and what did the fourth purchaser pay for tho land ? COMMUNICATED. Tlie Mysterious Prophet. A Shcrniansdalo subscriber sends tho fol-' lowing : A grcnt nnd wonderful Prophet has ar rived at Slierniitiisdale, Perry county, Pa. Ho is not a Wandering Jew, nor John tho Baptist, nor the old Levitc, as somo may think. Fur before they were, he was. Tho Scriptures make mention of him lie is no impostor ho knows not his parents bis voice is shrill nnd powerful his beard is red he goes haro-footcd like a gray friar he wears no lint his coat is not knit or wove or spun it is not hair, linen or wool len, yet of a fine color. Ho cures not for the pomp and vanities of this wicked world. Ho lots all men alone with religion. He would rather live in a barn than in a king's palace. He sleeps not in a bed, but sitting or standing. Ho cries unU tho whole world with outstretched arms doors and windows ojien at his proph ecy. He rises from his slumber by pro claiming the day of the Lord is at hand. Ho walks not with a staff or sword, but marches boldly along in tho face of his enemies. Both men and women who fol low his examplo live to a good old age. Ho wns with Noah in the Ark, and with Christ beroro he was crucified. Ho is neither Whig nor Tory. He once preached a ser mon which convinced a man of his sins, and drew tears from his eyes. All jieople -who come to see him urcconvinced Hint he is no impostor, so then send all your friends and brethren that they may see him before his departure. i'j;. Can any one send the name of this Prophet? Simon Short's Son Samuel. SHREWD SIMON SHOBTsewed shoes. Seventeen summers saw Simon's self same sign still swinging, silontly specify ing : " Simon Short, shoemaker. Shoos sewed superflncly." Simon's spry, sedu lous spouse, Sally Short, sewed shirts, stitched sheets, stuffed sofas. Simon's six stout, sturdy sons Seth, Samuel, Stephen, Saul, Shadrach, Silas sold sundries. 8o bor Seth sold sugar, starch, spices ; Simple Sam sold saddles, stirrups, shoes. Saga cious Stephen sold silks, satins, shawls; Skeptical Saul sold silver spoons ; Selfish Shadrach sold shoestrings, soaps, saws, skates ; Slack Silas sold Sally Short's stuff ed sofas. Somo seven summers since Simon's sec ond son, Samuel, saw Sophia Sophronia Sptiggs somewhere. Sam soon showed straugo symptoms. Sam seldom stayed, storing, selling saddles. Sam sighed sor rowfully, sought Sophia Sophronia's socio- ' ty. sung several serenades slyly. Simon stormed, scolded severely, said Sam seemed so silly, singing such shameful, senseless songs. "Strange Sam should slight such splen did summer sales !" said Simon. "Softly, softly, sire," Baid Sally, "Sam's smitten." " Sentimental schoolboy !" snarled Si mon. " Smitten I" "Sneaking scoundrel I Sam's shocking silliness shall stop." Scowling Simon stopped speaking, start ing swiftly shopward. Sally sighed sadly. Summoned Sam, she spoke sweet sym pathy. "Sam," said she, "sire seems singularly snappy." See Sophia SophrouiaSpriggssoon ; she' . sprightly, she's staple ; so solicit, sure ; so secure Sophia speedily, Sam."
