THE OOENEE-STONE.
There is a Jewish tradition, that at the building
of the Temple one stone sorely puzzled the build
ers, and could not be fitted into the wall, till at last
it was discovered to be intended for the corner
stone. The Jews suppose, Pa. cxviii, 22, to refer to
this, and the incident to be typical of the Messiah.
When on the chosen Mount arose
Jehovah’s Temple, fair,
No sound of axe, or hammer broke
The awful stillness there.
The cedars felled on Lebanon,
Were there with patience wrought;
Each stone was hewn and polished, ere
It to the Mount we brought.
But when the builders came to view
The stones, thus cut and dressed,
One block among the others lay,
Differing from all the rest.
The workmen vainly strove to find
It’s place within the wall,
Yet when they left it out, their work
No progress made, at all;
Till, when all 6th et plans were tried,
One way remained alone—•
The once rejected block they sought
To be the Cbrner-Stone.
They bronght it to its
With silent, anxious
And then a joyful shout
From every builder th.fle!
Upon Moriah’s Mount no more
Jehovah’s Temple stands,
Its golden roof no longer shines
The glory of all lands.
Yet still the Lord hath not withdra'
His presence from our race:
A nobler temple rises now
To celebrate His grace.
Each stone is hewn with patient care,
Ere to its place’tis'brought,
No sound of axe, Or hammer tells
The world, what there is wrought.
The stone the builders once refused
Is our Chief Corner-Stone;
From age to age the work proceeds,
And now ’tjs almost done.
Time shall not on its beauty prey,
It fears no earthquake shock ;
Its living stones are firmly placed
On Christ the Living Bock.
Other foundation none'can lay
Save Jesus Christ alone.
‘Woe to the builders who refuse
God’s precious Corner-Stone 1
LUTE MEEBIL.
Lute Merril’s father was rich. Yes, he was
very rich ; for he was a banker in one of our
largest and most prosperous cities’; and so
Lute had almost everything she desired.' I
know it would >do some Of you poor children;
food, just, to get a peep into her play-room.
'or it looked something like a toy-shop at
Christmas time, only a-great deal nicer.
For it had a soft, beautiful carpet off'‘the
floor ; then there was an easy little rocking
chair and foot-stool, just the right size for
Lute, besides lots of good comfortable
things that you never do see in a toy-shop.
Then the walls were hung with costly pic
tures, such as only a rich man’s daughter
could have. Now I have been telling you
all this about Lute, just because I wished to
tell you of one of the beautiful pictures that
hu,rig in her play-room. Although there
was one, representing a scene in Switzer
land, that glorious land where the Alpine
mountains are, And one of a pleasant valley
where tfie.farmer dwelt in ease and plenty,
and the portraits of her father and mother,
besides that of her dear brother Clarence,
who was such a merry handsome fellow, yet
over the mantle hung the one that I loved.
Now I wonder if any of you little folks
know the true meaning of the word lady?
.Do you know that a great many who are
called ladies in these days, are not worthy of
so great and good aname; for some of them
are so selfish and unkind,
All you little bright-eyed girls, gathered
in the homes of America, if you wgaßtobe
ladies, you must each one be ‘lragfflk of
bread,” for that is the meaning
And this is why we should all thinjpojMfffula
Cotta ag a true lady ; for sheffeami for
Martin Luther so tenderly. When h® was a
poor little-fellow singing through the streets
of that German town of Erfurt, she gave
him bread to eat. 4P
So over the mantle in Lute Merril’s play
room is a picture of a lady in the olden time,
standing at the gateway of her oastle-hdme,
distributing bread to the poor who gather
there. Three ragged little children are
scampering home as fast as they can, with
their burden, of bread, which will soon be
turned into a blessing for them all, when
their mother gives tp each one his share.
One poor'.old woman is actually kissing the
hand of the lady, who is such a kind friend
to her, and upon the lady’s face there ,
rests a sweet look of quiet-peace and joy ; I
trust such a happy look as the consciousness
of doing good will spread over the most
homely countenance, thereby transfiguring
its roughness into lines of beauty. The name
of this interesting picture is “The Lady.”
Lute often sits rocking herself before the
bright fire, and while she warms her feet
her eves are nften fixed upon the lady in the
picture. And she dreams little day-dreams
of ; alishe will do, when she comes into full
possession of that strange future which is
widening before her every day Indeed she :
is thinking of what she will do when she is
a young lady. Her cousin Laura is called
a young lady, at]d she is so tall and, hand
some, and dresses so gaily, that Lute almost

always wants to he like her. Then there is
Florence Graves, what good times she does
have, since she has put on long dresses, and
can go to parties, and do as she pleases. For
Florence told Lute just the other day, when
she wished to go down street with her, and
mamma thought it almost too cold, she told
her “ never to mind, in a few more years she
would be a young lady and then she could
do as she pleased,” and Lute had hid that
saying away in her heart, with a naughty
thought toward mamma for requiring her
obedience now.
But Lute was soon to learn a more beau
tiful lesson of life, than that of “ doing as
she plsased,” and this is how she learned it.
One day Lute’s mamma sent for her to
come into the pdrlor, and there she found,
her dear aunt Lute, waiting for, a welcome
from her little namesake. Lute had never
seen her aunt she had been living
in the South of years,; Aunt
Lute Merril was wipnd {fill good, ‘that her
niece soon loved her dearly; And so, dur
ing her visit which extended over several
months of the bright summer-time, they
had many a good talk in the play-room to
gether, of as they walked side by side in the
suburbs of the city. Aunt Lute was, a true
Christian lady, arid what wonder then, that
day by day she taught her little qamesake
the secret of true ladyhood. Now as Lute
sits before her picture she sees it in, a truer,
dearer light, and her sole aim is to be, a true
lady, even such as God would have her be.
Oh! how I* wish every little girl was striving
to obtain, the strong, true title of “ A
Christian Lady.” —lleformed Church Mes

“IT TOES ME SO BOOT."

Miss Brpwn looked grave.

“Perhaps if you would‘listen Attentively

Harry hesitated, .but, finally promised to
■do as fils friend wished. The noxt Sabbath
the text was,“ Strive to enterin at the strait

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
The pastor of ayoung mother who‘had
recently joined his church was.;talking with
rber about her maternal responsibilities, and.
urged the duty of constant and believing
prayer for the early conversion of her child
ren. She assured him-that it was herdaily
practice to carry her little ones in supplica
tion to the throne of grace, and 'yet com
plained of a want of faith and of definite
ness in as ( king for them the special influences
of the Holy Spirit.
“ Do you pray for each child separately,
and by name?” inquired the pastor.
“Ho, that has never been my habit,” was
the reply.
“I think it of much importance, Mrs.
Huston, especially as a help to our faith,
and to the clearness and intensity of oiir
desires on their behalf You pray with, them,
I trust, as well as for them ?” ‘ v
“Sometimes 1 do, but not often. They
seem a little restless, and inclined' to -whig-,
per my eyes are closed; and
so I have felSßes embarrassment and more
freedom in supplication to fee alone at such
seasons.” . ; .
“ Let me'persuade you, dear Mrs! Huston,
to try a different plan. Take your little son
and daughter each separately tofthe place of
prayer, and kneeling with tliem before the
Lord, tell him the name, the daily history;
the, special want of each, and see ,ifi your
heart is not opened to plead for them as you
have never done before.” ! ~t t
.Tears were in the eyes of the young mo
ther’as she said -With ’ trembling lips, “ I’ll
tr L” ■;■ r ~., ’ v■-
, As .evening came phe had not forgotten,
her promise, but as she saw that SarafeJ her
daughter, was unusually peevish,: she thought
best to take her little son first to her cham
ber. Willie was a bright and pleasant'boy
of five years; ’ ‘andf vrfeeh his mdther' whis
pered her wish tdqfray with him, he gladly
put his hand in hers and knelt by her side.
As he heard his name mentionedbefore the
Lord, a tender hush fell upon his young
spirit, and he clasped his mother’s fingers
more tightly as each petition for his special
need was breathed into the ear of his Fa
ther in heaven. And did not the clinging
of that little hand warm her heart to new
and more fervent desire as she poured forth
her supplication to the hearer and answerer
of prayer?
When the mother and child rose from
their knees, Willie’s face was like a rainbow,
smiling through tears. “ Mamma, mamma,”
said he, Pl’m glad you told Jesus my name;
now he’ll know me when I get to heaven.
And when the kind angels that carry little
children to the Saviour, take me and lay me
in his arms, Jesus will look at me so plea
sant, and say, ‘Why, this is Willie Huston ;
his mother told me about him: how happy I
am to see you, Willie/ Won’t that be nice,
mamma?”
Mrs. Huston never forgot that scene. And
when she was permitted to see not only her
dear Willie and Sarah, but the children af
terwards added to her family circle, each
successively consecrating the dew of their
youth to God, she did indeed feel that her
pastor’s plan was “the more excellent way.”
So sho rOSolved to recommend it to praying
mothers by telling them this, touching inci
dent.. When we moot our children at the
last great day, may Jesus own as .his :those
whom we have “ told him about” on earth.
LITTLE LILLIE WAS EIGHT.
One day a lady, was teaching a class of
little girls in Sunday School.
• My dear children, she said, 1 “how soon
may we give our hearts to God, andbecome
truo‘ ChidstiahS ?” 1 ’
/ They didn’t answer at first. Then she
spoke to them one by one. Turning to the
oldest scholar in the class, she asked: 7
“ Wliat do you say, Mary ?”
“ When we are thirteen.”
“What do you say, Jane?”
“ When we are ten.”
“ What do you say, Susan ?”
, “ When .we are six.” ,
At last she came to little Lillie, the young
est scholar in the class.
“ Well;; Lillie,” she said, “and how soon
do -ybu- think we may give our hearts to
God?”
, “ Just as sOOh as We feel that we are sin
ners, and knOW who God is,” said 'Lillie.'
How beautiful an answer that, was! and
how true,! ; ,Yes, “as soon as you, feel that
you Are a sinner, and know who God ia,”
ydu may give him your heart, and become a

DEATH—ITS MYSTEEY AND ITS, COMPEN
SATION. < ;
! : BY REV. AUSTIN PHEIPS, D.D. ■.
' .The whole conception of death is evident
ly superhuman, If wo approach it, as we
would a device of . human strategy, we find.
ltto'be : &■ frightfully impracticable subject.
to 1 our reason. What is it? 1 Why 1 is it?
is it?, :i Our human insight here is
blank hllndhess. Our Upß axe dumb!
Philosophy has tried very hard to look:
eooiy upon the grim fact. Poetry has done
its best to: garnish graves for us. Taste in
vents new- naihesdor' our coffins,, mnd atfec-,
tiofi decks them with flowers. Arthaspaint
ed ’us all as heroes‘in dying. ' Probably aU
men have chivalrous, moods over the pros
pect. ,| . , /■’ , . ,
, Yet,.of the, hundred and forty generations
which; this, earth has taken back to its dust,"
notone man, woman or child would lever’
have chosen*'the, process ‘of: 'dissolution as
the fticthod of a change'df worlds, even' ad
mitting a change to.he .desirafele or necessa
ry. Madame Swetchine says that “if life
were, perfectly beautiful,, death would still
! be perfectly desirable;” ■ Ho, not death ; a
transfer to other worlds might be, but’not.
death’ ; this no human’ ingenuity can adorn
or soften. ~ It is to every human instinct!
what Milfon’ painis it’ a “ grizzly terror.”
Ho philosopher would ever, have originated
it-as a wise expedient. Ho; philanthropist
would ever hav’e’ forecast it as a benevolent,
one. Even asaprimitive infliction, it would
neyer have been devised by a humane jurist
as an indiscriminate necessity. As a sym
bol of certain ethical ideas, why should it,
■be the law of all sentient, being ?;, Christian
faith aside, it is shockingly suggestive of a ,
malignant', of i a possibly taariiacal origin".'
Even the instincts of brutes are’ bewildered
by it, as they areby’earthquakes. . It should,
seem as if the v.ery constitution of
of which those in,stincts ,arp a part, yvere
shattered by the. phenomenon. Benevolence
would appear-to have succumbed to. frenzy!
Eeyelation presents to our faith no dogma
more inscrutable than this fact in the sys-':
tern of nafure.‘ When infidelity will explain,;
it to us, we may safely promise to explain;
: everything else with,which our religion has
tO dO.
■ But a device like this, of physical-and
moral ■ government, cannot’ have been or
dained by a benevolent God without being
in some way interwoven' with beneficent
results proportioned to the gigantic myster
ry. God’s system of the universe is largely
a system of balanced opposites; The seem r
irig evil isialways at least kept in poise by
a good of equal weight, growing out of it.
In an eternal reckoning, the right scale
preponderates immensely. As the richest;
soil gathers in the bed of inundations, and;
the choicest vines : grbw' in the ' pulverized
debris of volcanoes; so in the ; moral world,
character .lies over, against temptation;
atonement-against sin. ; ; .
On the same principle, death must be an
element in ; the government of the universe
of unspeakable value somewhere. Its untold
horrors mufet be’ at. least fully equated by
blessings springing from it somehow. The
dark side of the circle of equivalents is turn r
ed this way, so that we seem to live undef
a dread eclipse'; but bow jit,
appears all around the universe, dxcept the;
bnef sbgthent which we look at ? ■ y -no,
We may ond day seo ! —what'we now hol'd'
by faith only—the love of God as Bignally
displayed in death-struggles, in the varie
ties of torture by which the phenomenon is
made shocking to us, and in the unuttera
ble repulsions of the grave, as we now see
it in a violet. We cannot conceive at pres
ent how amiable the primitive element in
death will by-and-by appear to us, nor how
tranquilly wo shall sympathize with it.
Bye hath not seen how beautiful it will be
to us as an ethical symbol. We cannot now
make real to ourselves how sacred suffering
is a necessity to character, nor how grate
fully, we shall remember it. Even the ex
perience of resurrection, though limited to
the twinkling of an eye, may bei more than
the compensatory opposite Of dying. To a
good man, there may be an ecstacy in the
one process which is not possible, except as
the sequence of humiliation in the other.
That which thou sowest is not quickened,
except it die. The Christian idea of victory
over death may, in its fullness, be incon
ceivable, except through the experience of
dying. We are more than conquerors, only
through the suffering of seeming defeat.
It is very unphilosophical to reason cheer
lessly about the stern methods of God. Still
less are we sensible men if we reason sullen
ly. We have only to spring to the Divine
side of everything which we know but in
part and rest there.— Watchman and Reflec
tor.
