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- Mennbikmi. MAY 17, 187G. 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 $2 PER ANNUM. 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 1 - - ' . T. J 1 , giass iu us winuows. nags auu pa 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: "Our Gertie is dead." Detroit Free JVw.

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 hear your friend, who didn't lift his finger to help you, mildly remark: "I told you so."
