Jesus Is A Rock ' Land, A Shelter Of Storm. "Hide the outcasts." Isaiah xvi. .V What a singular expression! We would expect to read : "Reform the outcasts; cleanse the outcasts; redeem the outcasts." But the prophet saw deeper, lie saw something w.is needed precious to reform proteciiun and hiding. I le thus struck the keynote of the dilfcrcncc between the gospel of the pagan and the gospel of Christ. The pagan says, "Let them he cleansed and come in;" Christ says, "Let them come in and he cleansed." The pagan says, "Wash your stains and enter the temple"; Christ says, "Linter the temple and I will wash your stains." The pagan says, "Put on your best robe and repair to the banquet"; Christ says, "Come to the banquet and I will give you the best robe. The most unique feature of Christ is His claim to be "a hiding place from the wind and a covert from the tempest." What does that mean? Clearly this, that He will take you in while the storm is still raging. He does not say, "When it is fine weather I will visit you." But, on the contrary, "I will come to you in the wind and rain: I will bring a teni and shelter you." Many will come to you when the storm has ceased; but you need something more than that. Is there to be no refuge in the storm? Your brother-man is waiting for your signs of good character. He is looking at your ship tossing on the sea. He says, "When it is calm I will take a boat and bring you in." But will no one man the boat when the wind is high and the waves are rough, with the tempest howling by ? Will no one enter into your life when it is bat tered and bruised and broken ? Will none take you up when you are disgraced and tabooed and scorned? Is there no dove sent into your deluge while the peak of Ararat is yet unseen ? One alone ! can and will answer these longings the perfectly sinless and holy One, the Son of man. To whom can I call but unto Thee, my Saviour and my God? No one else will meet me in the storm. Plato will not; he will only meet calm souls. Moses will not; his Sinai has no cleft for the unclean. John the Baptist will not; he cuts down all trees that bear no fruit. All the voices of the world cry, "When ye have found rest, enter into the king dom." But I hear another Voice, sweet and comforting, which al lures and enfolds, saying, "Come unto Me, all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and 1 will give you 1 rest." i It calls to me in the dark and ! wet and cold; it invites me in my j rags; i: appeals to me in my pov erty; it reaches me even in my trespasses; it kills for me the fat ted calf when 1 am still in the "far country;" it loves me in spite of all. Many voices have offered me a home in my quiet and happy hours; but Thou, O my Father ! and Thou alone, hast -promised me a covert in my storm. Do You Think Fop Yourself ?

HAMILTON II WNI' A little while (my life is almost set') I lain would pause along the downward way, Musing an hour in this sad sunset-ray, While Sweet! our eyes with lender tears are wet; A little hour I fain would linger yet. A little while I fain would linger yet, All lor love's sake, for love that cannot lire; Though youth be dead, while youth's desire, And hope has faded 10 a vague regret, A little while 1 fain would linger yet. A little while I fain would linger here; Behold! who knows what strange, mysterious bars 'Twixt souls that love may rise in other stars'' Nor can love deem the face of death is fair; A little while 1 still Vi'ould linger here. A little while I yearn to hold thee fast, Hand locked in hand, and loyal heart to heart; (O pitying Christ! those woeful words "We part!") So ere the darkness fall, the light be past, A little while I fain would hold thee fast. A little while, when light and twilight meet Behind our broken years; before, the deep Weird wonder of the last uufathoiiied sleep A little while I still would clasp thee, Sweet, A little while, when light and twilight meet. A little while 1 fain would linger here; Behold! who knows what soul-dividing bars Harth's faithful loves may part in other stars? Nor can love deem the face of death is fair; A little while I still would linger here. KEEPING UP THE FIRrT" I can hear the old man sayin' long before he went away lo the calm, untrouweci country wnere tne wisest ot em stay, That plain, ol'-fashioned lesson that we took to heart for good : "Whilst you're keerin' up the fire you're a-burnin' up the wood !" Sorter set us all to thinkin' as, when harvest come along, An' we saw the prospect brighten like a sumbeam in a song; An' the silver jingled careless-like the word we understood : "While you're keepin' up the lire you're a-burnin' up the wood !" "Dream your dream there must be dreamers in a world the Lord made bright The dreamers of the darkness, an' the dreamers of the light; Of the sowin' an' the reapin', dreams of glory an' of good, You must keep the fire Wazin' but you're burnin' up the wood !" Jest that o'-fashioned lesson; an' I'm glad we read it right, An' felt its deeper meanin' 'fore he said his last "Good-night"; For where the heart beats truest still is where it's understood: "Whilst you're keepin' up the fire you're a-burnin' up the wood !"

William H. Crawford. On this committee there were, among others, Randolph and Webster. Before the committee had fairly got down to business Randolph sailed for lingland, and during his absence, a majority of the com mittee brought in a report exon erating Crawford. In one of the preliminary dis cussions of the committee Webster was alleged to have said some things about Randolph that were ' anything but complimentary to his manly character, and when the high-strung Virginian got hack to Washington in the Spring 'of 1 825 it was plain that there would be "something doing."

Vacancies have a mission. What has not? There is something in everything to be a chariot for thought, liven the absence in the home ofafamiliarobject may set in motion the wheel on which thought more unpleasant than tactlessness? THH TACTLLSS MAN. Miss Helen Miller Gould was addressing a class of young ladies on the subject of tact, says the Louisville Courier-Journal: "What," said Miss Gould is swiftly rides. The vacant chair carries the mind back to your school days or the old homestead; to merry rambles over green meadows and tufted pastures, through shady groves; to your favorite seat on some mossy bank that was kept green by a little brook that babbled by it, to the swing under the great maple that used to stand in the yard; and by-and-by you go quietly to the draw er and take out a little square case just large enough to hold a treas ure, open it and gaze thoughtfully on a picture. Then you feel some thing rising from the heart, and a pearly tear steals slyly dow n your cheek. No one saw it; you saw no one; yet you felt that you had met a loved one saw a smile upon the lip that had often returned your caresses. You put away the pic ture and go about your regular duties happier, better for having thus seen and felt some of the joys of the past. Let me tell you about a supremely tactless man. "This man went with his wife to .1 dinner party. He took down to dinner a very charming woman, but the first course had hardly be gun, when to his wife's dismay, he jumped up from his seat beside the lady, and making a circuit of the table, took a vacant chair beside a young matron. 'After dinner as the man's wife entered her carriage to drive home she said impatiently: ' '1 have been dying all the evening to ask you why, after tak ing her to dinner, you deserted Mrs. A. lor Mrs. 15.?' " 'W hy, said the husband, "with my back to that fire 1 would have caught my death.' "Well,' said the wife. '1 hope you told Mrs. A. that.' "'No, said the husband. '1 didn't. I told Mrs. B. though.'

Two Irishmen who had just landed in America had taken a room, in one of the dow n town lodging-houses in New York. They were awakened in the mid dle of the night by a great noise in the street. One of the Irish men got up and looked out of the window. Two fire-engines tore along, belching smoke and fire, and leaving a trail of sparks. "I'hwat is it ?" asked the man who remained in bed. "They're movin' hell," said the man at the window; and two loads have just gone by." siiltstituto per ma. le piu.iiici'.t 1 iv Or.

Ben ton to Webster with the following note : "Saturday, Feb. 20, 1S25. "Sir 1 learn, from unquestion able authority, that during my late absence from the United States, you have indulged yoursell in lib erties with my name (aspersing my veracity) which no gentleman can take who does not hold him self personally responsible for such insult. "My friend, Colonel Benton (the hearer of this note), will ar range the terms of this meeting, to which you are invited. "I am, sir, your obedient serv ant, "John Randoi.imi, "Of Roanoke." Benton, who was somewhat of a fighter himself, was not slow in taking the note to the "Lxpound er," and in a few days he was able to report to his friend as follows : "Mr. Webster authorizes Mr. Benton to say to Mr. Randolph 1 that he has no recollection of hav ing said anything which can possi bly be considered as affecting Mr. Randolph's veracity, beyond what he said in the House of Represent atives. If he has used other ex pressions they must have been at or about the same time and of the same import. He does not recol fect them, and disclaims all of a dif ferent import. As to w hat Mr. Webster said in the House of Rep resentatives, he meant only to state that Mr. Randolph was under an : entire mistake or misapprehension as to the facts he meant to say j nothing, and neither intended to make nor did make any unpuiaiion on the personal veracity of Mr. Randolph." Of course that settled it, and there was peace. It is fortunate that Webster's memory or lack of memory, came so opportunely to his rescue, for Randolph was a crack shot, and had the duel come off the great New hnglandcr would probably have fallen long before his fame was ripe.
