Are you ready DOW for -a thought that

the thimbleful of gold dust which in
1848 a Calton -111u miner brought from a

Washington seemed at OM, time to bold
in his riehe hand _American independ-

in bis right hand the emancipation of
the churoh of God for all nations, so in
grander and better sense the infant born
in that Bethlehem stall held in one hand
the ransom of earth and in the other the
rapture of heaven. Be started that night
for three places which he must reach, or
we never could reach heaven, Getheemane
and Calvary and Olivet, the first for
agonizing prayer,- the second for excruci-
ating suffering; the third for &orient
ascension as the law of gravitation relaxed
for once to let him up out of his exile.
Had his life been only one day or one
year of duration instead of 33 years, had
he died in Bethlehem or in Cairo or in
the desert between, not a church would
ethe have been built, not a hospital ever
opened, not a itation over freed, not a
civilization ever inaugerated, not a soul

Let it be an exteaslon table made up of

enough to roaoh from earth to heaven.

She was a delicate youttet girl, perhaps
a stenographer, with a refined face and
chestnut hair drawn straight back from
a well -formed brow, Her wheel Rutted
her, for it had the appearance of liget-
ness and grace and quickness. Tbe girl
wore glasses.
How fate sbould decree that these two
ehoul3 come together, it is hard to say.

and was a useless mass of twisted spokes.

The Christi..o's Hope.
The hope of the unbeliever is like a
spider's web—the broom of God's judg-
ment will speedily brush it from its
moorings and bring it to naught. It is
like the dew of morning—the sun dries
it up, and leaves the parched plant dry
and withered as before. It is like the
leicles of winter, that adorn the trees and
make them glisten with transient beauty
—the sun shines upon thom and they
melt. The Chrisaan's hope Is like the
rook against which the waves of the sea
dash in their fury, but it stands un-
moved. It is like the anchor of a vessel,
which, though driven and tossed, still
holds its position, because it is tied fast
to its safety and salvation. It is like a
house built upon a rook—the rains may
descend and the floods may come and
beat upon the house, but it falls not, be-
cause it is founded upon a rock.

meh smaller area of contact on the
conductor rails than do the substantial
flat cast iron shoes used in this coun-
try, but it is probale that they give a

tion.

Neer Year nesehetieet.
"To be perfeetly frank, I haee very
little ftlith in New Year's resolutions
which are made at the begin,ning of a
year," writes Edward Bok, in The Lee
dies' Home Journal. "At the same time,
there are people who fancy the idea
of maldng resolutions at some arbitrary
dielsion of time, such as the first day of
a new year. But the characters of
those reselves should emanate from
one's own heart, and not be suggested
by another. Yet an excellent resolution
for a young man to naalte is this tri-
angular one: Be industrious, shun all
intoxicating liquors a.nd gut into a good
savings ,b,ank at least -fifteen. mats 'of
every dollar earned during the year."

thifortanate Heroine.
One of the eccentricities of the English
language was lately brought to the notice
of a New England woman by her Swedieb
maid. The girl had attended is night
school for some weeks, and was much de-
lighted with her attainments in English.
She expressed her wish to try her knowl-
edge of the language by reading as story,
and her mistress recommended for ber
perusal one called "A Modern Cinderella"
in a magazine. It was short, simply
worded and appeared not to present any
linguistic: pitfalls.
"Did you like it, Borthar asked the
mistress when the magazine was returned
to bor.
"Yale ma'am," replied the girl slowly,
"but I am sorry she had so much trouble
and dose glass eyes, too. My brudder, he
had one glass eye, and it was thee hard
for him."
"Why, I didn't remember about her
having glass eyes," said the mistress.
Bertha unfolded the.magazine, and point-
ed with a respeotful finger to the follow-
ing undeniable proofs;
"As Polly moved about the kitchen do-
ing her work her eyes suddenly fell OD the
letter wbich lay unopeued in her eunt's
'Weep your eyes where they belong,'
said that lady sharply, and poor Polly col-
ored with shame."—Youth's Contpanion.
