TIONESTA, rA.,
The House on Wheels.
Rov. Robert Sloss, In Church Union.
I have a man in my congregation
who moves buildings, draws houses,
not Cu IT; but empty ones. Tlittt is his
business. If you have au old house
that you don't kuow what to do with,
even though it was good enough for
your father and grandfather, you just
speak to my friend, and ha lifts it up,
puts it on wheels or rollers, and trun
dles it down the streets nr around the
corner, into some out of the-way place, '
and you are at liberty to go on put-1
ting your brown stone front on the
old family lot at your leisure.
Une .afternoon, in the deepening
twilight of a quiet street far from the
heart of the busy town, I met one of
these old family mansions on wheels.
standing right, iu the middle of the
road, as though it would like to say
something to somebody before going
to the rear. Its shadow cast a spell
upon me, and without making me ex
actly a trance ineaium, it said a few
ihiugs to roe, that it might be well for
those of us who profess to "Love Thy
kingdom Lord, the house of Thine
abode," to think of also.
I had just questioned myself in mf
own mind how an old house might feel,
if feel it could, on seeing itself thus
unceremoniously moved out of the
way, knqwing that a new-faugled no
lion in brick orstouo with the improve
ments was soon to lake iU place.
When Iho spirit of the old house thus
addressed me: "No, no, sir, I feel no
envy, I bear no malice; that is all as
it should be. It is right that new
plans and new materials, yes, many
and more of them should occupy the
ground which I, iu my old fashioned
way held so long a lime. It is well
that the new Lie should have a new
body, a new house to live in. A house
larger, more conveuicut, more attrac
tive if you will, but, sir, if you will
condescend to listen to an old fogy of
a building like myself, 1 mustsay that
I feci sad sometimes, that they do not
embody more frequently in the new
mansions a few of those things which
were ofien tried and seldom found
wanting iu the old."
"Will you mention some of them?''
I said.
"Well, here," said the spirit of" the
house on wheels, "before I obey the
injunction, 'Come, move on!' I will
tell you : To begin first at the very
cutiume into a house, there aro some
things belonging to a door that we
seem to lose. This old threshold of
mine you see worn so low, had some
thing sacred about it. Tho inmates,
felt that when they reached it, home,
with all its meaning was jgst iuside;
aud so, no matter what romping, and
rushing, and scampering there had
been outside, they paused to enter the
piesence ot the household gods with
at least, reverent and respectful mein.
"I am told, and .indeed I catch
glimpses of it sometimes, when ton
many blinds do not intervene, that in
l lie new god better buildings they are
erecting, this part ofa door is freqent
ly left out. The massive panels ot the
new house close too often on a place
simply to ttay. And so people hurry
ou, saunter out, ami in wan ueans on
ly full of the outside.
"Can you step up on that lafge
block and over that large pulley, sir?
I just want to show you this room
my first floor, front, or parlors, as you
call them. Well, in the new build
ing which follows me on the old lot in
town, I am told they have most ele
gant parlors, lots of shining veneering
aud all that sort of thing. Well, I
am glad of it. I often thought mine
might be vastly improved more room,
more light, more air, more that is
cheerful and pleasant to the eye, and
these things they tell me they have in
I he new. There is one thing, however,
I could wish they bad more of, which
we old ones never found unwelcome.
I mean furniture which in its very
look seemed to invite to hospitality,
and made every one at once feel cosy
and comfortable. When things get
very stiff and very shiny, you know,
sir, people will stand off from them.
It's instinct like, aud it does seem
kind of hard to keep your mother and
your brethren who have come a long
distance to see you and whom you
know are at the door, waiting in dis
mal state while the servant passes up
a card.
"Now, I don't know that it was the
stiffness of the furniture; perhaps il
was not; but somehow their hearts
got nearer and quicker together in the
old house, sir.
"That little room off there to the
right is the music room. I'm told that's
much improved in the new house, aud
certainly it needed it. We never gave
euough attentiou to that in the old
house. The instruments are much
finer now the piaoos, all Mr. Thing
umy's grand, the teachers are better
aud more plentiful, taste higher
more of a foreign flavor to it. That's
all right to ; don't think I'd grumble
at that. We owo those foreign gcu-

tlemen much for tho way they have
stirred us up on the musio question.
There is that Mr. Thomas what's his
other name? Well, no matter, I don't
want to take one bit of praise away
from him, sir. But, sir, don't you
think we ought to. make a difTerance
between a concert room in the theatre
and the music room in a hou3of Don't
you think there ought to be a little of
the "Old Folks at Home" style that
would draw us all nearer to the sin
ger and the song, or to the player and
the piece. 'Classic music is grand, sir,
and severe in style and, taste. I think
they call it, and we will doubtless
have more of this when we become
more classical. The romantic school,
too, has its admirers, and even sensa
tional music may have its place in tho
modern score, if it has "the language
of the feelings." I think it very ex
pressive of much of the emotion of the
present day; but, sir, to see a poor
girl or boy playing a piece which
touches their own souls at no one
point, to a company scatsd on ebioy
chairs, wbo also are touched at no oue
point by tho classical, save at the
point of weariness ; that's not good,
sir, for it ain't natural.
"There's another room tip-stairs
that I would like to show you, sir
our old-fashioned nursery ; but as you
aro the minister, and have to listen to
a great deal of talking, and are con
stantly called on to make remarks, I
won't, detain you longer. 1 do think,
however, let me say in parting with
you, that the new house they build
the children's room too faraway from
the rest of the family, and too near to
the servants' hall. Depend upon it,
sir, it's a bad sign to see the baby's
crib too near the servants' hall and
too far away from Mamma. Much
obliged for your attention to an old
body like me, sir. Good by, sir 1"
The mention of the fact of my call
ing, and that officially my time would
probably be fully taken up, brought
me back from my reverie, and gave
me some thoughts of that household
of faith for which it is my privilege
aud duly to labor and pray.
I thought how much of that old
house of the former church seems to
be passing away. Like the house on
wheels, moving from the prominent
front it once occupied to the rear, I
rejoiced indeed as J. thought of its pro
gress aud the glorious destiny in store
for it. I looked with deliglu upon
the new and nfhgnificeut temples the
hands of wealth are rearing in our
largo cities, and I asked myself the
question: A re. not there some .things
moving off with the old as it w heels
into the rear, that can be illy spared
by the new house as it wheels into the
front? To have a large beautiful, and
fully-appointed church building, is a
grand, good thing-; but to be lacking
in that godly tear and wholesome rev
erence with which we entered the old
church building, would be sad in
deed.
It must be confessed,-! think, thnt
we lack in our modern church too
much the form as well as the spirit of
humble adoration in our worship.
The rush and romp of the outside
world of business and outside pleas
ure, glides dowu the wide aisles aud
into the newly up holstered pe"ws. A
stranger might often think the con
gregation gathering for a party rather
than for a prayer.
Not is this mere thoughtlessness,
which in itself were surely sin enough,
but with some it is preaieditated pur
pose to attract publio attention.
With such persons the love of show is
uppermost in the heart a love foster
ed very frequently by the appoint
ments of the new building upon which
they have eDtered. The rustle of the
costly dress, the wave of the superb
fan, and the flash of the sparkling
jewels are but a part of the startling
effect to be produced. These are they
of whom the prophet writes of old :
"They are haughty and walk with
stretched-fortb necks and wanton eyes,
walking aud mincing as they go, aud
siaking a tinkling with their feet."
The solemn awe aud befitting rever
ence of worship has no place id the
constitution of such people. The pub
lio service of God in its spiritual as
pect is a burden to them. They need
all the arts of rhetoric, all the ap
pointments of architecture and uphol
stery, all the charms of rapturous mu
sic, to make the humble, simple ser
vice of the sanctuary even endurable.
From the rush and crush of the fash
ionable aisles and pews, this irrever
ent spirit often creeps up into the pul
pit, so that it is no new thing now-a-days
to see a very popular preacher
on the most familiar terms with God.
How mauy clergymen, either from
lack of taste or because of the gay
panorama before the pulpit, forget the
sanctity of the hour aod of their office,
and fling to the winds all the proprie
ties of the day and place.
A smack of tho irreverent lias an
irresistible charm for those who let "I
dare not wait upon, I would ;" and
this is a thought which is true of mat

ters connected with tho church service
as well as other things.
Tho lesson concerning true hospital
ty suggested by meeting the old house
on wheels, is scarcely less important.
There was, aud still in all those
churches which have marked the signs
of the times and guarded against the
modern tendency to too much "veneer
ing," a time, a good lime for enter
taining strangers, whether of the cler
or laity. If a strange minister carae
to preach, or to discharge any other
official duty by the request of tho con
gregation or the order of the Presby
teiy, some of Ihe members thought it
right and proper to see that lie was
comfortably cared for not simply as
to boarding and lodging, but also with
a little Christian fellowship and kind
ly sympathy. Now, such affairs in
many of our large churches are cen
ducted with less trus fellowship than
prevails between two business men
trading for a small bill of goods. A
letter is written and saut ; a letter is
read and answered ; the strange min
ister arrives and stops at the hotel, or
with some member whose house is tho
church hotel. The hour for service
arriving.be enters the rickly-nppointed
pulpit, lulflils his engagement, and
glides out of tlie handsome and handy
little side door to hurry off' to his own
little parish, and nobody u bolheredea
tertaiuing him. Much might be said
also of the lack of attention to stran
gers, aud even to those coming into
the church communion for the fit st
time. But I must pause to let this
thought, and others, concerning the
music room and Ibe nursery or Sabbath-school
room, which last, in my
opinion, is often too far from the old
folk's room, to carry you along at
your leisure. Trusting that before
lotig we obey the injunction of this
busy age, "Move on, sir!" we will
stop to inquire which way we are
moving: backwards or forwards, up
wards or downwasds.
Titusville, Pa.
Boys of ten or twelve, seen on the
street, appear heartless and without
sympathy, and yet you wrong them.
Among tho bouses ou Cliuton street is
one which has missed many a pane of

pers are used to keep the cold air out,
or it may blow iu and whistle through
the desolate rooms without let or hind
rance. A girl of teu, whose life had
been one long period of hunger, pain
and unhappiness, was taken sick oue
day in March, and people passing by
could see her lying on a miserable bed
near one of the windows. It was cu
rious that any of the boys coming or
going should have stopped to think
or care about it, but they did. One
of them, fueling sad at sight of the
sufferer's pale face, handed au ora:ige
through a broken pane, saw it clasped
by slender white fingers, and then ran
away. He told other boys, and by
nnd by there wasn't a day that some
lad didn't halt at the window to pass
in fruit or flowers. None of them knew
the family or ever spoke to the girl,
aud so they gave her the name of Ger
tie and called her their orphan. Boys
went without marbles and the other
things which belong to boyhood sports
that jlieir pennies might buy an or
ange lemon or some simple flower for
Gertie, aud their anxiety fjr her to
ge.t well was fully as great as the doc
ter's or the mother's. Whatever pres
ent they bad they handed it through
the broken pane, waited for her to
reach up, and never lingered longer
than to hear a soft "thank you" from
Iter lips. Days went by, but the boys
did not prow weary, nor did they miss
a day. It was romance aud charity
so well combined that it gladdened
their hearts and made them fond of
each other. Yesterday morning a
lad's hand, holding a sweet flower and
a big orange went up to the window.
No white fingers touched his as they
grasped the offering. He waited a
moment, and then with beating heart
looked through into the room. The
bed had been taken away. On a table
rested a pine coffin, and on the coffin
was a bunch of faded flowers which
had been handed through the window
the day before. Death had been there
and the boys no longer had a mission.
You might not have seen the boy
hiding iu a door-way and wiping tears
from his eyes. He was seen, however,
and when aked the cause of bis sor
row he sobbed out the whole sad ro
mance in four words:

A FRENC H VVY.1.,
A sanguinary duel took place In
France the other day. In a heated
political discussion a blow was given
bv Count do X to the Duke of Z .
The Duke didn't return the blow ; but
a few minutes later fiudmg himself
alone with Ihe gentlemen who were to
act as his seconds, he took an oath
never to see his wife orjittle girl again
until he had washed away the insult
in the blood of the Count. The next
day the duel took place. The Duko
was wounded twice in the forearm
and iu tho right side before the
Count had received a scratch ; but
the Duke notwithstanding his suffering
and loss of blood from his wounds, In
sisted on continuing the fight. The
duel went ou ; the Duke, making a
superhuman effort, drove his sword
through his adversary, who fell life
less. Then, pallid as dcatb, bathed in
his own blood, and with difficulty sus
taining himself, tho Duke drew a whito
handkerchief from his pocket, and
bending over the Count's body, dipped
the handkerchief in the blood gushing
from his adversary'! death wound, and
turning to the four seconds, who look
ed on aghast, the Duke raised the
blood-stained cloth to his face and
said: "Yon will tell them, gentlemen,
how tha Duke of Z avenged the
blood of the one who insulted me."
He then said to his owji seconds :
"Take this handkerchief, hich I con
fide to you, to the Duchess, my wife ;
I enjoin upon her as a duty to place
it among the wedding presents of my
daughter when she shall be married ;
it is her father's gift to her the puri
ty of his name." The words were
hardly spoken when the Duke fell
back dead; and in death his features
looked calm and proud, and almost
wore a smile. His honor had been
Batiefiod. - .
KILLED BY AMBITION.
A terrible comment on the process
of brain-cramming which obtains in
our public schools, is the melancholy
death of a New York school-boy.
The boy, it would appear, was of an
ardent, ambitious temperament, high
ly seuBitive, and up to a certaiu crit
ical poiut in his school boy life, studi
ous to the extent of distancing all
class coropetitos oj his own age. Un
fortunately, as the result showed,
these qualities attracted the attention
of his teacher And his parents, wbo,
desirous of creating a prodigy, had
tho lad promoted to a higher class,
with the members of which it. was
morally impossible for him to cope.
The natural result followed. The stu
dious boy lost his ambitiou with tho
full knowledge that he could net grat
ify it, and gradually found his way
to the end of his class. He became
so negligent that his teacher, iu the
belief that he lia 1 degenerated through
simple carelessness, wrote up his name
in great letters ou a blackboard, so
that all comers should read it. The
rest is shortly told. The boy told his
schoolmates that he would commit su
icide, and he kept his word, though
they thought it was school-boy brava
do. He deliberately hung htmself
with a book -strap, uud thu verdict of
the coroner's jury was simply "suicide
by hanging." There is no doubt that
the boy's mind was unhinged by over
study, and he became a sacrifice to
"the ambition that kills." Studious
nees is an excellent thiug, in the schol
ar, but, like all good qualities, may
be carried to far.
After worrying hid father for three
or four years on the subject, a young
man who ha grown up with Detroit
succeeded iu becoming the owner of
a timepiece the other day. H:s father
purchased it on the sly, took it borne,
and when the young man turned over
his plate at dinner he found his watch.
"Good! bully for me I You are a
noble father 1" be exclaimed, in da
light. As lie opened the watch, his smile"
ull faded away. Noticing the change,
his father asked :
"Isn't the watch all right?"
"It's a good enough watch," was the
reply.
"Then what's tho matter?"
"Why, you have had my name en
graved ou the case, and no pawnbro
ker will give me five dollars on it if 1
get hard up." t
What a pleasant -thing it is to do
your very best, and having failed, to

finger to help you, mildly remark: "I
told you so." Buch criticisms euable
