'The benighted traveler in the snow has hometiines caught sight of a candle in a shepherd's hut. It has beeu to him the most j iyous of all momeuts; it is the promise of rest. "Kven such, I think, is the thought of the proverb. The man who uttered it kuew well tho saying of the old book of Genesis, that when God had waiidrr- ed six days through creation He rested in man. He bad been led on by the glimmer of one candle, the light of a human soul. It was the only place of rest the Father saw in all the vast expanse. There was no other dwelling for the spirit of my Father but my spirit He could not find shelter in any oilier borne. Not, "where the bee sucks" could my Father dwell. Not where the bild singj) could His heart be glad. Not where the cattle browse could His life repose Not where the stars shiue could He find His household fire. One far-off candle alone gave the sign of home. It was my spirit. My Father, I have often asked Thee to be ay light; vThat a wondrous thought that I once was Thinel I have been Thy candle in the dark and cold; Thou wert moving toward me. When the foundation of the earth was laid, Thou wert moving toward me. When the plant and tree arose, Thou wert mnv iug toward me. When the breath uf life appeared, Thou wert moving towaid me. The sixth morning was the last from Thy heart. The candle was mure to Thee than the suulight. Thou aert in search of a light not brighter, bui better, than the sun the epaikle of a human eye, the radiauee of a human face; I list was the candle that beckoned Tnee. It said to Thee through the oigbl, ''Come here and rest." It offered Thee what all patt creation could not at' ford, communion. The brightness ol the sun could not give it. The beauly of the flower cou'd not give it. The song of the bird could Dot give it. Thy Sabbath waited for me. The bells of ibe day of real could not ting till a heait hail responded to Thy heart, a life to Thy life, a will to Thy will. Thou wert like the dove ou 1 lie face of the waters till the litihl in my dwelling appeared. Rut thai candle brought Thee joy, joy un. speakable and lull uf glory. It was Thy first sound of home amidst the waste of waters the earliest voice that bore the invitation, "Abide with me." Kvermore. my Father, may I give Thee this wel come home."

HOW A TRAIN OF MISFORTUNES FINAI. 1.r REACHED A FORTUNATE CLIMAX. Lady Hroome, in the Cornhill Maga ziue.'tell this iutcrcsliug story: This man had reached the very last of his resources without finding a speck of gold, and although men in such citicmi ty are always kind and helpful to each other he could out expect any one to share such fast dwindling stores with him. Thcro wjia nothing for it, there fore, but tu turn back on the morrow, while a mouthful of food was still left, and to retrace his steps as best he might to the nearest port. He dwelt with a good deal of rough pathos on the despair of that last day's fruitless work, which left him too weak and exhausted to carry his heavy tools back to the spot they called "camp." So he just flung them down and, as he said, "staggered" over the two or three miles of scrub-covered desert, guided by the smoke of the camp fire. Next morning early, after a great deal of sleep and a very little food, he braced himself up lo go back and fflcli his tools, although he carefully explained that he would not have taken the trouble to do this if he bad not felt that his pick and barrow were about his only iuimw sions, and might fulch the price of a meal or two when it came to the last. I have often wondered since if the impression of the Divine mcicy and good ness which was so elroog in that man's mind just then haB ever worn off. He dwelt with a self-accusing borrow ou how he had railed at his luck, at fate, at everything, as he stumbled back that hot morning over his tracks of the day before. The way seemed twice as long, fur, as he said, his ' heart was too heavy lo carry." At last he saw his barrow and pick stand ing up on the flat plain, a little way off, and was wearily dragging on toward them, when be caught bis toe against a Btoue deeply imbedded in the sand, and fell down. His voice sank to a sort of awe struck whisper, as if he were almost at confession, as he said : "Well, ma'am, if you'd believe me, I cursed awful. 1 fell as if it was too hard altogether to bear. To think thut I should go and nearly break my toe against the only stone in the district, and with all these miles to travel back I So I lay there like Jobs friend and cursed anil wanted to die. After a bit I felt like a passion ate child who kicks and breaks the thing which has hurt him, and I hud to beat that alone before I could feel quiet liol it was too firm in the saud for my bauds to gel it up, so in my rage I set out quite briskly with the pick to break up that stone, if it took all my strength. It was preily deep set iu the ground, 1 assure y. u, ms'io, but at last I got it up, aud lu re it is 8 did gold, and nearly an big as a baby's head. Now, ma'am, I ask you, did I deserve this?" He almost banged the rather dirty looking lump down on the table before me as he spoke, and it certaiuly was a wouderl'ul sight, aud a si ill more wonder ful Weight, lie told me he had searched about the neighborhood of that nugget all day, but there was not the faintest trace of any more gold. So, as he had uo lime lo lose on aeoount of the short ies of the food and water supply, he just started back to the coast, which he reached quite safely, and came straight down to 1'erih in the first steamer. The piiu?ipal bauk had advanced him $4000 on his nugget, but it would probably prove tube worth twice as much. I asked him what be was going to do, aud was sotry to hear that he intended to go bick lo England at once and set up a shop or a farm I forget which among his own people. Of course, it was not for me to dissuade him, but I felt it was a pily to lose such a good aort of a man out of the colony, for he was not spend ing hi" money in champagne and card plujing, a all the very few succesbful fiuilers did in those first, days. ANKCDOTK OF VAN UL KKN. Once when John Van Duren, son of I'reaideiit Van Huren, was making a speech iu behalf of hi. father, an old Demociat rose iu the audience and up braided him as a bolter, Few men were more effective on the slump or quicker at rvpariee than John, aud he replied tu the charge with an anecdote aomething like this: ' One day a man on horseback oauid up with a buy who was oontendiug with au overturned load of hay. Instead of tossing the bay back in the wagon, the boy was energetically tossing it hit li er, aud thither, regardless of where it la ided. The traveller halted and said: "My young friend, why do you work so furiously this hot weather? Why do you not toasthe hay back in the wanon and be more deliberate iu your labors?" The boy atopped, wiped the streaming per spiration of) his lace on his shirt sleeve, aud pointing to the pile of hay on the roadside, exclaimed: 'Stranger, dad'a under thar,' and then he set about work more furiously than ever," As Others See Us. AT THE VAUDEVILLE. HOW UtlftF.K IT FEEI.S TO VIEW III R NKI.VKS IN THAT I.HIHT. "I had a strange experience at Cincin nati the other day," said a traveling tuun, chatting with some friends iu hia hotel lobby "I hud some lime to kill and bad dropped in at an afternoon vaude ville performance, where, as usual, they had the vilascupe. One of the views was a remarkably good street scene in New York, tukcu on broadwuy, near the corner of Thirtieth street. A tremend ous crowd was Burging dowu the pave ment, and aa the figures reached the foreground of the picture they became very large, at least life siz . "As I stared ut the throng my eyes were suddenly riveted una man and wo man walking together and somewhat de tached from the others. 1 cannot de scribe my shock of amaumcot when I recognized the man as myself aud the woman as my wife. We were apparently absorbed in conversation, and as we drew rapidly near, my wife seemed to call my attention to something across I In) street, I looked up and smiled, and, as I did so, we passed over the circular m irgin of the picluie and vanished as swiftly as a dream. 'My heart was beating like a drum, and as I glared at the apparition I had risen unconsciously from my scat. Il seemed strange bryoud expression, and I don't know bow long I might have stood there transfixed if some one had nut re called me to earth by requesting me to sit down. The picture was taken last summer wlun my wife and I were veil ing iu the north, and gradually I recalled the exact iucidenl. ' I remember distinctly the day we walked down Broadway together acd also that my wife called my attention to ootnical baby crowiog in the arms uf a nurse at one of the windows of the (Jilscy House.
