He quite lifted me out of myself. -By the way, did yon notice what a fright of cloak Mrs. Jaysmith had on? Mrs. Gargoyle—Did I? How •could help it ? She sat right in front of me and kept gazing around in such an unmannerly way. I don't believe else heard a word of the sermon.

HORACE GREELY'S THEME From aa Essay Written in 1846 and but Itecenq Published, A REBUKE TO SELFISHNESS. Sooial Nelatione which Ohriet Never Recognized. THE COACHMAN'S SABBATH. Q.—What is the chief end of man? A. --Maus chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.—mstminster cateehism. It must be deemed unfortunate that, in a summary of religious doctrine from whioh so many human beings have reoeived their &at distinct notione of God's government and MIMI'S duties, the primary and most important truth ehonld have been set forth so vaguely and obscurely. How many of the young learners of that catechism have any clear perception of what is meant by either queetion or answer? But dissipate all obscurity in the state- ment of the ptoblera and its solution, and the matter is still seriously objectionable. The exiatence of each individuel is media to have two purposes or aims—firet, God's glory ; next, bis own enjoyment. tie is °ailed into being to gratify two selfish ends—one the Creator's, the other his own. This must be wrong. God has not created us to the end that He may be glorified nor with any such purpose, but in obedience to the dictates of His infinite benevolezme. He has given AS being in order to inoreese the infinity of good which pervades the universe. He haa endowed us with reason and conscious nese, not commending us to glorify Him not bidding us enjoy Him, but exhorting us to omit no opportunity of doing good—of diffusing true knowleage, wisdom, battle. nese, blessing. In short, God has not created us to subserve any selfish end of His own, nor will He hold us gailtlessif we pursue only moll ends as our own. Am I wrong in summing that our ethical and clerical teachers are generally defisient in their inculcations on this head—that their point of view is insufficiently elevated and their requisitions too scanty? Is not the valgar notiou that to refrain from doing ill to our neighbor is virtue, somewhet countenanced by the usual tenor of moral exhortation? Does not the commandment - keeping squanderer, on hie own Inxurious appetites, of eon AVERAGE COININGS OF TEN HUMAN BEINGS, pass in society as an innocent and often as en exemplary man? It seems evident that a redical reform in the popular apprehensions of religious teaohing, if not in the teaching itself, is hero needed. Since the earthly pilginnege of the Divine Man of Sorrows, we have hal few preachers who said frankly and point- edly, " How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of God!' " Sell all that thou hetet give to the poor; then come and follow Me," eto., etc. Do we realize that these were not the exaggera. tions of petulance or asceticism, but the simple, natural oonditione of spiritual health, illumination and progress? What herequired was the disencumbering of the soul of clogs which embedded it and bore it heavily earthward. What Christ said of wealth i its inflaences and proper uses, had no mere local or transitory significance. 11 18 as true in New England as it was in Palestine—as true in 184 as it was in the year 1. In truth, wealth employed only or mainly to subserve personal ends is in its nature incompetible with a true life or with the purpoee of such a life. The man of sub- stance who regards his riches as means of luxury, of elegance, of power (other than the power to relieve and bless), or of con. tintung nuoh advantage to his descendants, is inevitably, pelpably beclouded as to the very purpose tor which life was given him. His aims are selfish and grovelling, his understanding darkened, his faltering, evading, feeble efforts at goodness are tainted by the sin of Ananias and Sap- phire. His fealty to Mammon WILL EVER CLASH WITH HIS DUTY TO GOD. The true disaiple of Christ regards him- self but as the steward of whatever worldly goods Providence has placed in his hands. From those he is to eatisfy the necessities of those dependent upon him; all beyond belongs to his Master, and is to be dis- pensed according to His plain directions. Not that he is compelled to divest himself to -day of the means of relieving want to• morrow; that would be acting the part of a prodigal and thoughtless steward; but he is te dispense or reserve whatever has been oonflaed to him with simple reference to the highest good of all. All that he has being the rightful property of his Creator, is to be dispensed am:lording to the model ever before him in the diepensation of rain and eunehine. He whose sympathies or beneficent efforts are circumsoribed by any boundary of family, sect, neighborhood or nation, is most imperfect in hie obedi- ence to the Father of Lights. He who is content to enjoy the fruits of other's toil, rendering mankind little or no positive service in return, can be but a very distant follower of the Divine Redeemer. On no one point is error more common or more vital then on this. A life devoted mainly to what is deemed innocent, though selfish enjoyment, is not usually regarded as inconsistent with a Christian profession. The wealthy disoiple may devote half his time to e round of visits, dinners, tours and entertainments WITHOUT FEAR OF REPREHENSION FROM THE SACRED DESK and with little danger of reproach from,his own drugged conscience, yet it would be difficult to say wherein saoh a life excelled that of the less depraved heathen of our own or ancient times. He that lives mainly to himself and his kindred cannot truly be said to live to God, no matter whether he pray with his face to Jerusalem, Mecca, Rome or the sky. There is no savor of reel Godlikeness in a life so devoted. The assumed innocence of a life of pomp and luxury will not bear a seerching examination. Is it not possible that euch a life may be lived innocently, no matter how liberally it may be gernished with tithes and prayers. The MOM of sub. stance who lives in luxury oinnot fail to render the lives of other human beings merely auxiliary to his own enjoyment Where some are only eerved, others must needs be merely gervants ; where some are to be habitually gratified, others must de- generate into the mere inetratnente of gratification, lho machines whereby a certain quantum of supposed enjoyment is produced. Whenever one man DEEMS Tun Buitvione oF OTHER numen BEING.

Weed, end whit% all his teaohings teed to eondemn and overthrow. de not knew that I am more'etrongly moved by any ordinary spooteele than by that of the assembling for worship of a fashionable and wealthy congregation in one et our great cities. As the rich and the great roll up in their carriages to engross the richly adorned pews, the poorer and humbler shuffle in on foot and take the less desirable seats, leaving the worst of all to the orushed children of Africa, whose understanding, it would seem, is deemed eo acute that they need not hear more than half the serviee to comprehend it thoroughly. The same equivocal oomph- ment is paid to the decrepit, the deaf, the superannuated, it they happen to be hope- leeely poor. BUT THE GREAT MAN'S COACHMAN is nOt even supposed to hear at all. Were he at liberty be would not venture to pre- sent himself at the door of the family pew. Bach a stretoh of presumption would oast him a lecture on manners superiors, and very likely his means of subsistence. His busineSs in that eolemn hour is not to worship God but to take care of homes. While he assidn- ouely fulfils this funotion in the shadow of the church outside, and the gilded prayer book e are in requisition within, half a dozen other lsumati implements are busy et home preparing the sumptuous meal. For these, Sunday shines no holiday. It hardly witnesses a relaxation of their labors. They may have some vagne idea that the obligations, duties and hopes of religion are divinely intended for ale but all the atmoephere, the daily neoessities of their life condemn such a notion. IT MAY BE MEM MASTER'S DUTY TO OBEY GOD; it is theirs to oboy their mestere, and in this service conscience is well nigh super. Litmus, and would often be an embarrass- ment and obstruction. 'Chug they wear out their lives in mere brutishness and serfdom, with no more mental exerciae or development than the animels who are their fellow. servants and daily oompanione. How many families con- tribute annually to send the Gospel to tbe heathen without onoe reflecting that their practice and example make a great many more heathen than their money will ever convert? To insure the speedy diffusion and tri. umpla of Christianity throughout the world it needs but to be carried fully and fairly into practice by a part of its present adher. ents, eo as to be fairly observed and under. stoo 1. Were a single country thoroughly Christianized in all its institutions, laws, polity, ueagee, the world could not resist its noiseless appeal for universal con- formity to its order, justice, harmony and happiness. It is because Christians are content to differ so little from pagans, ex- cept perhaps in theology, that gross dark- ness still overspreada nine -tenths of the habitable globe. t he time is se hand when the signiftaance which once dwelt in the disciples' washing each other's feet (and not those of each other only) in their office of deacons in the Lord's supper, shall again be apprebended and realized. Christianity has been preached, expounded, and moralized upon loug enough ; it is yet (by the maim of its professors) to be really lived in the new age no cc; dawning upon humanity; the Christian elave-trader and the Christian living in idleness and luxury will stand on the sarae platform. The professor who lives sumptu- ously on the unrequited toil of his slavee. and he who consumes largely without him- self laboring to add anything to the sum of human comforts, will be regarded as neighbors ; while he who requires service, but renders none, will be deemed a most unfaithful subject of the great Law of Love. In short, living to self or to any ends which do not embrace love to God and the highest good of mankind will be deemed the one great departure from rectitude, drawing after it all essential corruption and actual transgressione. Alexander Alexander. A rather ourioue cireumstance is reported from the Royal Institution, Edinburgh. There is at present in the School of Art a student who, leaving bad the raiefortune to be born without ernes, has learned to draw and paint with his feet. The young man, whose name is Alexander Alexander, has passed all the seoond•grade examinations of the Science and Art Department, Lon. don, and the third-grade department examination in outline drawing from the oast. He received the Kensington prize of three volumes for excellence in art. This artist has exhibited in the Edinburgh International Exhibition of 1886, and also this year. Mr. Alexander is a native of Edinburght Economy of Space in New York. One of the most striking evidences of the value set upon apace in New York is the not infrequent use of narrow helle leading to stairways as places of business. There are perhaps a dozen shoe shops thus situ. teed. The door serves ea a window as well, and, peeping through its dingy panes, ono sees two or three shoemakers in the front bendiog low over their lasts, while the gloom of the rear iEr filled with leather and refuse. One such place in Third avenue calls itself the "little shoe shop," and proudly announces that it has no connec- tion with any other shoe store.—Neto York Star. Greeks in New York.

The (looter even coined a word to denote the peculiar nervous agitation of such oersons. And now bere comes along a Philadelphia doctor who says that the ringing of church bells often has a terri- ble effect upon siok persons, causing them the most acute suffering. The tinkling little bells of the street cer horsea have already been baniebed on Sundays, and this physician would, apparently, have the church bells linehed also, so that on the Sabbath a deep religious silence would brood over themity like a 0101Od. THEY 33REAR THE MONOTONY. This is a view of church bells that will be novel to most persons. From it musical etandpoint it tnay be admitted that all church bells are not everything that might Id desired, but most of them are musioal enough. The ohuroh bells of Philadelphia do much toward breaking the dreadful monotony of its Sunday, and their sonorous clanging is a pleasant indication of some lite stirring. To the poetic mind church belle tell stories both sad and gay, and one poet has even read their creede in their different tones. Doctors and sick people should look upon church bells as George W. Bungay does in his " Creeds of the Bills," in wleich he says: • -Bow sweet the ohiree of the Sabbath bells! Each one its creed in music tells In tones that float upon the air AB soft as song, as Imre as prayer ; And I will put in simple rhyme The language of the golden chime. My happy heart in rapture swells Responsive to the bells, sweet bells. TEE EPISCOPALIAN RING. In this exalted frame of mind the doctor or invalid who hears the chime.master at St. Stephen's or St. Mark's Episcopal Oharchee thumping ota a tune on Sunday afternoon should fancy that the bells are seying to hien: In deeds of love excel 1 excel! This is the church not built on sands, Emblem of one not built with hands Its forms and sacred rights revere. Come worship hero! come worship here 1 In rituals and faith excel! A BAPTIST WARNING, The bell of the Tabernidale Baptist Church, or of any other Baptiat church blessed with a bell, says this to the eyrie. pathetic mind : Ye purifying waters, swell 1 Though faith alone in Christ can save, Illen must be plunged beneath the wave To show the world unfaltering faith In what the Sacred Scriptures saith. 0, swell 1 ye rising waters, swell! FAREWELL TO THE WORLD. There is a stern tone about Presbyte- rian bells, especially on a Sunday. The poet hears them say to him: ,000Fa ewell 1 farewelil base world, farewell! Life is a boon to mortals given To fit the soul for bilge in heaven; Do not invoke the avenging rod, Come here and learn the way of God; So to the world, Farewell !Farewell 1 A JOYFUL CLANG. Methodist ohnrch bells generally have a loud vigorous tone. They "shout in eostacies," according to poet Bungay To all, the truth we tell! we tell! Come all ye weary wanderers, see! Our Lord has made salvation free I Repent, believe, have faith and then Be Fared, and praise the Lord ; Amem 1 Salvation's free, we tell! we tell I THE CATHOLIC BELL. A different story is told by the bells of the Cathedral, of fit. John's and the many other Catholic churches which call their message to the faithful: "All hail, ye saints in Heaven that dwell "Close by the Cross," exclaimed a ball; "Lean o'er the battleniente of bliss, And deign to bless a world like thus; Let mortals kneel before this shrine— Adore the water and the wine! All hail, ye saints, the chorus swellt" Chimed in the Roman Catholic bell. THEY CRY DOWN HELL. The Universalist belle, which are not numerous enough in Philadelphia to get their tones mixed up, peal out this creed: / In after life tlaere is no hell! Look up to heaven this holy day. Where angels wait to lead tlae way; There are no fires, no fiends to blight The future life; be just and right. No hell I no hell; no hell; no hell! This is the way in which people should hearken to the church bells and interpret their meaning. Heard thus by the faith- ful the bells would doubtless often have as much healing effect upon the sick as many doctors do. Their harmful effects are in all probability imaginary. Girls Who Make Poor wives. I never see 6 petted, pampered girl who ie yielded to in every whim by servants and parents, that I do not sigh with pity for the man who will some day be her husband. It is the worshipped daughter, who has been taught that her whims and wishes are supreme in a honsehold, ivho maRes mar- riage it failure all her lip. She has had her way in things great and on2a11; and when she desired dresses, pleasures or journeys which were beyond the family purse, she carried the day with tears or sulks, or posing to a martyr. The parents sacrificed and suffered for her sake, hoping finally to see her well married. They carefully hide her faults from her suitors who seek her hand, and she is ever ready with voiles and alit:memento to win the hearts of men, and the average man is as blind to the faults of a pretty girl as a newly-hatohed bird is blind to the worms upon the treee about him. He thinks her little pettish weys aro mere girlish mode ; but when she becomes his wife and reveals her selfish and cruel nature he ie grieved and hurt to think fate has been so unkind to him.--Blla Wheeler Witeox.
