HOW SITE ATTRACTED
NOTIGE.
A. little incident, -it is a tine
story, -occurred a few years ago
in Philadelphia, which has its
significance f •r our readers.
The owner of a large retail store
gave a holiday to all bis employees,
in the middle of June. Cashiers,
foremen, salesmen and women,
casb boys and porters, all were in-
vited to spend the day on the
ground of the country seat owned
by their employer. Tents were
erected, a bountiful dinner and
supper were provided, a band of
music was stationed in a grove, and
special trains were obnrtere'1 to
parry the guests to the country and
home again.
Nothing else was talked of for
weeks before the httppy day. The
saleswomen, most of whom were
young, anxiously planned their
dreeeee, and bought cheap and
pretty musline, which they made
in the evenings, that they might
look fresh and gay. J vee the cash•
boys bought new cravats and hats
for tete great occasion.
There was one girl whom we will
call Jane, N4110 cowled not indulge
herself in any pretty bit of finery,
She was the only child of a widow-
ed mother who was paralyzed. Jauo
was quiok and industrious, but she
bad been but a few months in 'the
store and her wages barely kept her
and her mother from want.
"What shall you wear ?" said the
girl who stood next her beside the
counter. "I bought such a lovely
blue lawn."
"I have nothing but this," anti
Jane, glancing down at her rusty
bleak merino. "But that is a winter
dress 1 You'll malt, child. There
will be dancing, and boating and
croquet. You must have a summer
dress, or else don't go."
Girls of fifteen like pretty gowns.
Jane said nothing for a few minutes,
"I must wear this," she said
firmly. "And I think I will go.
Mother wishes it, and I like to get
all the fun I ran out of life."
"But you can't dance or play
croquet in -that 1"
"It is always fun to see other
people have .fun," said Jane bravely.
The day canoe, bright and hob,
and Jane went in her heavy, well -
darned arose. She gave up all idea
of "fun" for herself and set to work
to help the others find it. On the
ears she busied herself in finding
seats for the little girls and helping
the servants with the baskets of
provisions. On the grounds she
started games for tho children, ran
today table, brought water to the
old ladies, wee ready to pin up a
torn gown, or to applaud a "good
ball ;" she laughed and was happy
and friendly all of the time. She
ciid not dance or play ; but do wee
surrounded by a cheerful, merry
group wherever she went.
On the way home to town the
employer, who .was a ehrowd bttai•

'Rho nest day ,)atle WAS promoted
iTtte ('ria of (110 most important de
partinente, Sad since tint liar her
%moose hes been eteady,
The good.hatnor au' kindness of
heart whioh onabled her to "find
frig in seeing others have fun" were
the best capital for her in her busi-
ness, Sha had the oonrage, too, to
disregard poverty and to make tho
best of life, a courage wbioh is rare
and which rarely fails to tweet its
reward,
A Journey Across
Lebanon.
BY NEV. G. n. 110WIE, L A., PAST.On OF
ENOS SR068EL8,
°Two epode" boxes 8 by 2 fent and
about 20 iuchos in depth constitute
the Iona of a donkey. Ono Ulan
may awn and drive several asses.
The mention of these animals need
not e0ggest to no the proverbial
specimens of 000130ys thieli we
sometimes see on the sands of
Portobello and other summer r•' -
sorts, for the ase in Lebanon is web
oared for and well fed, and a con
siderablo portion ,of the work of
transport fella to lliw IIo 1a the
support of many a family, and stip
plies the plane of a horse, or even 11
carriage, in many a gentleman's
house. The great attention bestow
ed upon the ass of Lebanon may be
dictated by maxims of prudence
rather than principles of morality,
and men will find it difficult, if not
impossible, to dissent from the state-
ment "That the righteous regardeth
nefechbahhemets (life of the beasts)."
It is often remarked that Mt. Lebau
ou once Been in a clear epriag
morning from the Mediterranean
is a eight never to be forgotten ; but
to look from this height westward
and view the lesser but gorgeous
bills clad with the pine and oak, the
incredible host of mulberry and vine
terraces is incomparably grand ;
itis a scene which nature alone can
paint and represent. It was this
splendor and magnificence whioh
furnished imagery for the poet of
the poets. This is the mountain
which David, Solomon and Isaiah
often thought about and wrote. In
addition to the innumerable wild
beasts which find their food in these
valleys and heights there are hosts
of goats, sheep, cattle, &c. crowding
here and there to feed. "Never.
tholees Lebanon, even Lebanon, is
not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts
thereof sufficient for a burnt offer-
ing." It does appear that the .Jews,
like many ancient nations. were af-
fected with the weakness of sup-
posing that the blood of goats, rams
and bullocks could constitute right-
eousness, expiate sin and propitiate
the Deity. Against this terrible
delusiou, which amounted to substi-
tuting symbol for reality, type for
auti•type, the whole host of prophets,
with Isaiah in the fore, bitterly and
inflexibly protested. Israel was as-
sured that although Lebanon was
so be constituted one tremendous
altar, on which the innumerable
giant cedars were to burn the count-
less hosts of all the beasts, it would
not remove sin. The mania of
shedding blood does not seem to be
the disease or weakness of this gen-
eration, but it is to be feared that
the age is not altogether free from
something not unlike the delusion
which developed the Jews. There
are some, we 8083003, who are going
about to establish their own right.
eoueness. They indeed know very
well and teach that the blood of
rams and bullocks expiate not sin,
yet they cannot persuade themselves
that gond works are also ineffectual
and worthless, as far as justification
before God is concerned. Surely
it is not necessary to explain that
we hold salvation impossible with.
out true and real repentance and
contrition of heart; we • hold it
faithful saying and worthy of all
acceptation that unleea ye repent
ye shall likewise perish ; that with-
out holiness none shall see God.
In the nature of things it is im-
possible for any man to continue in
sin that grape he multiplied. We
find it indispensable, ;both to turn
unto God and do works meet for
repentance, that we ought to be
spotless, read of all men, zealous in
every good work, diligent in base
noes, fervent in spirit, serving the
Lord. Nevertheless we feet and aro

80eeptanee with God, our pardon,
our juatification, is wholly unalter-
able and always distinot from all
that we can or can not do ; from all
that we are or Piave. It other
words salvation is an act of God's
free and sovereign grace and is not
merited by any mag at any tithe.

At the extreme elevation of the
road, just at the point where wo
Should begin our descent of the
eastern slope dowu to the plains, I
recognised tr townsman, who, with
his son and a few others, was hard
et work bowing and ohi.selling 5)0)308
for the building of a new khan in
that neighborhood. This spot
though not far from other plans, is
yet many miles distant from guy
village. Tho elevation of this spot
is about 2,800 cubit (a cubit, 20 in.).
As WO journeyed tlowa the eastern
side of the mountain there 1ay
etre',cheal before us El Biquelt, the
plain known to the Greeks as Goole -
Syria, about 100 miles long and be
twoen 8 and 10 MHOS broad, nearly
parallel with Lebanon. East of the
plain and nearly parallel to it lies
the Auti•Lebanon cb.aitl of moun-
teins, so called from the fact that
it lies over against Lebanon. It
is lees densely populated, aufl more
stocked with wild and injurious
bett;ts; species of oak covers many
parts of it, which is being gradually
howu down 313(1 converted into ohar
coal for the use of the Drtmasoeues
and others, The fertile hollow be-
tween the two Lebanons is said to
be 2,000 cubits above the sea level,
hence it 1s clear that the distance
from the highest ridge of Lebanon
to the plaia oast of itis very much
loss than the distance to the plains
of Phoenicia west of it. It may be
as well to mention that this road
and vicinity are familiar from child •
hood to the author 'of this paper.
Some two horns after we began our
descent we reached khan Mijre on
the border of the plain. Here we
halted and were served to a drink of
oold water and about 6 or 7 pounds
of grapes at the Dost of 80 bales, 8d.
Not far from this lies Zablie, an
important town on the borders of
Oocle-Syria and Lebanon. Of the
non -fruit trees the poplar adorns the
district. :'Extensive pat0h05 are
crowded with this long and slender
stalk, presenting to the distant
spectator a splendid vtew of dark
green miniatures of forests, This
tree is ordinarily between 30 and 40
feat high, and bas au average (11 -
:meter of between G and 10 inches.
Its obief rs0 is to furnish beanie for
roofing bowies, bridging rivers, &e.
The country here is less hilly, and
hence the garden terraces are very
=oh fewer in number, but very
muoh larger in size. Magnificent
vineyard t, yielding a variety of
grapes, cover males 0300 miles of
the country. Tit June, or there-
abouts, the grapes begin to ripen,
and now it becomes absolutely
neoessary for each husbandman to
leave his village home and friends
and plant himself in his vineyard
in order to protect it as far as pos-
sible from the invasion of both man
and beast. It may be that the pro•
party is hie own or that he has it
rented, paying so much in cash with
the view of gathering the year's
vintage. Tins is an4annuai speau•
lation, whioh may result in either
gain or loss, in any case the has-
bandman looks upon those vines as
the broad of his family. He watches
them with zeal and earnestness for
at least throe months, until the last
of the fruit is either sold off for
present consumption or converted
into raisins, molasses or wine,
For this temporary sojourn in the
open country a small kind of house,
5 by 8 cubits and 2 or 8 cubits in
height, is erected of rough irregular
stones, piled, as it were, without any
lime or cement. It is then roofed
by a few stray beams and then cov-
ered by rugged elates found in the
neighborhood, these again are some-
times covered by a layer of earth of
about 10 or 15 inches. The oc-
cupants of this flimsy erection aro
fortified by the experience that they
have not to contend against rain
or storms, but only require a shelter
from the sun by day and the moon
by night. By the end of September
or middle of October the grape sea-
son is over. No further watch is
now needed, for the tree atone is
