I heard the hells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play.
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on t:trth, good will to men!
And thought how, ns the day had come,
Thf hdfrio of a!l Christendom
Had rolled alonir.
The unbroken sonz
Of pcare on earth, good will to men!
Till rinini', singing on its way
Thu world revolved from niht to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime, '
Of peace on e.irih, good will to men!
But in despair I bowed my head
"There is 1:0 peace en earth," I said;
'For hate is strong
And moc'v the nonj
Of re.-ico on earth, good will to men?
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep,
'"God is not dead, nor doth be sleep!
The wrong shall fail,
The right prevail.
With peace on tartli, good will to men !"
Henry W. Longfellow.
Till: QUEEN AXl) THE CASKET.
It is said that Queen Victoria once pre
sented herself before the keeper of the treas
ure chatr.bfcr in Windsor Castle with a
refmest for the richer of the two small cs-
l et-i m his custody, made each of one solid
crystal, exquisite in workmanship and very
costlv. .V'ieotinsr the richer and liner of the
two she drew from her pocket a copy of the
Jib e and locked it in the casket, whicn was
then r turned to its place richer than ever
lor ihe new treasure it contained.
The Uible stored in that shrine was Gen
eral Gordon's. It had been his daily sup-'
poit and solace, and was with him at Khar
toum. It wan worn and marked with the
thousand notes of daily use and daily study,
which indicated the relation of its hero
ow ner to it and what it had been to him.
AVe give the story ns we have heard it.
Treat it as we will, as parable or as history,
it is a striking illustration of what gives su
preme value to the Bible and of its true rela
tion to men. It .was not a new copy of
Scripture, fresh, unsoi'ed and unused, that
w.is thus royally set: it was not selected for
the beautvof the binding, the richness of
the material, or the excellence of the work
manship. It was chosen because it had once
borne the relation it did to a heroic life. It
bad helped to create that life, to raise it. hi.h,
to make it pure and strong, to fill it with
faith and light and hope. The queen's act
w as a commemoration of a great victory and
a service, the greatest service that can be
rendered to a man in helping him to develop
his character, to be what he is made to be,
and to do what he is tnade to do. This is the
lace the Bible holds in the history of the
nation-, whicn have loved it and lived bv it.
Tins i the place it is destined to hold in the
life of t lie race redeemed. Redeemed and
sanctilied humanity is to be the crystal
shrine of the well-used Bibie, which" wil
have glided, supported and inspired it
through the long years of its warfare. Ind; -

"When are the everlasting arms under
neath us: I he onlv answer is, now and tor
ever more. I7ow, at this moment, beloved.
the everlasting arms are underneath us
The life of a Christian described as walking
by faith, and to my mind walking by faith
is the most extraordinary miracle c ver be
held beneath the sun. Walking upon the
waves, as Peter did, it a type of the life of
every lui-tian. I have sometimes
likened it t: a cending an invisible stair
case f.ir up int the clouds. You can
not see a step before you, but you
wind up towards the ligiit. 'When yen jook
down ward all is dark, but before you lies
nothing visible but cloud, while beneath you
vawns a fathom iess abvss. Yet we have
climbed some of us, now for years up this per
petually ascending stair, never seeingan inch
before us. We have of. en paused almost in
horror, and ask in wonder, 'What next, and
what next?' yet what we thought was cloud
lias proved to ho solid rock; darkness has been
J:ght before us, and slippery places have
been safe. Every now and then, when the
darkness has been denser than usual, a dark
ness which iniirht be felt, when all the past
behind us lias vanished, and nothinsrhas been
seen but tiie one sten we stood on, we have
sa'd, 'How did I come here? What a stransre,
mvstei ions life mine has been!" We have
almost wished omselves down on the level
among the worldlings, who can almost see
their way and know what is underneath
them ; but faith has come to our help again ;
we have believed, and believing we have
seen the invisible and grasped the eternal;
and then we have erone on, have put our
loot down a-ain. and anon have run up the
shining way with joy. What an ascent
we have sometimes made on that ladder
d" light, so that we have companied
with ai.gcK and hft the world far
down beneath us! Now and then we
have enjoyed a glimpse through the thick
darkness of the jewelled walls of the eternal
city, which ncedeth no candle, neither light
of the sun ; we have feen. I say, its bright
Ji'ss, ;ui,l determined still to climb the mys
t"i ions way. Well, be.ievtr.at Ibis moment,
though thou canst not see thy way. yet since
thou art walking by faith underneath are
everlasting arms.' " Spurgeon.
SUIHATII VISITIN'Ci.
The Sabbath is in a special manner the
Lord's day; a d y in which we are to lay
aside our accustomed secular pursuits, to
worship God, to seek spiritual improve
ment. 'Ye shall keep my Sibbath and reverence
my sanctuary." is one of God's require
ments, a reotiirement that is still in force.
We are to remember the sahii:(th dav to
keep it holy."' n it we must not seek "our
own worldly pleasures, nor do our own
w orldly business. Our Creator has drawn a
broad line between the Sibbath and the
other days of the week, over which we may
not reel;! ss y pis. We are forbidden to
employ the hours of thi day in secular la
bor, only m far as is necessary, nor
may we employ them in visiting our
friends and neighbors. To do this, is not to
keep the dav holy, as God requires. But
large numbers, and amomr them not a few
of the professed friends of Christ, thus dese
crate it. Although God lias kindly given
them si:; days in which they may liiid am
ple time for this purpose, they decline to
take it, and appropriate to it the hours that
he more specially calls his own. And thus
are they guilty of robbing God. They rob
him t f the time that he would have them
devote in a special manner to his service.
Tims' sacred hors that be would have them
spend in spiritual meditation, in prayer, in
readmg his holy Word and in the worship
of the Sanctuary, tin-y spend in visiting for
their own gratification. Ami thus the d.iy
kindly L'iven with a d -slz n to their liisrhest
interest, is lost to this end. They have de
t i veil no spiritual heueiit from its precious
pi ivi'ees-. They are no better prepare I by
means of them to live or to die.
And not only o; not only lias the day
be n Inst to themselves, but they have been
the occas'on of its being a lot day in a large
measure to others; to those With whom
their visit has been the occ.iion. it mav be.
of detaining them from the hiJe of Go i,
and if occupying time that they might have
devoted to better uses. The Sabbath, on the
p.irt or" both parties, has thus been largely if
not wholly, a lost Sabbath. G;d has b'eu
forgotten, and their own spiritual interests
have been neglected. The spiritual min ied
Christain wishes neither to make, nor receive
visits on the- Lord's day. It is rathe r bis de
sire to e njoy a communion with God and
with heaven. It is the language of his he art,
"In bo y duties let the day,
In holy pleasures pass away;
How sweet a t-'abbath thus to spend.
In hope of one that ne'er shall end.'

A NOTABLE FAMILY.
Arp's Sympathy for Cyrus W. Field
in His Affliction.
A History of the Field Family.
Without a Parallel in This Coun
try. Their Usefulness to
tha Country.
I know that a thousand hearts are beating
in sympathy for Cyrus W. Field. It is so
sad "to s e the last hours of a grand old man
crowded with grief over the wreck of a way
wara son R.ight now in th3 midst of the
Christmas season, when everybody wishes to
be happy, there are thousands who are suff
ering sorrow and make no sign. We grieve
for them all, but somehow it ernes wit'i a
kuener tng for the old man whos life has
been such a model, whose great works have
been sucn a blessing to mankind and whesa
illustrious kindred have shed honor and re
nown uion the family name. Jly friend,
Dr. Powell, would say that no law ef heredi
ty had been violated in this dt ffction cf the
Sjn, but that his environii.ents have been
bad so bad that heredity was smothered.
Noxious weeis grew up and blighted the
corn. The old man wes so a sorbed in work
ing for mankind that he didn't observe tha
weeds and failed to cut the 11 d wn.
How many noble spirits have been poison
ed and wncktd in thes'ime way wrecked
by environment, by bid a-sociations, by
barrooms and biJliaril tsb es and theater,
wh le their fathers ara absorbs! in doing
some great thir g or tlsj in leaking money
more money, and neglecting the moral tiain
irg of their euihlrcn. I know wealthy men
in Atlanta whosu soi.s at e tlowly and surely
wrecking the family name and will sooner or
later bring down the f.iay hairs of their ja
rents wi'h sorrow to the grave. The giat
men of the nation are more liable to this s r
row than any other class. It looks lik i a rrian
can't be great and at tho samo time do a
father's duty by Irs childien. He hasn't got
the time to devote to them.
But this notable family seemed to be an
exception to the rule. Tuey were s i mora!,
so well balance t, so learned, s nohle in cm
duct, so perfect in example that it comes like
a i:hock, a surprise vehtn one of thm falls.
One hundred and ten 3'ears ago th cld an
cestor, David Dudley Field, was born, and
liveel a long and iadutrous hf?. He died in
1SC7 full of honors and blesse t with sons and
daughters who were always a comfort to him
and an honor to humanilj-. The old man
sprang from revolutionary stcck good old
r,.bel stock and had he live! in our day, mid
our section, and our environment, hf and his
boys would have been in the fr. Lt ranks e:f
secession. Environment mile men rebels
just as it die! in the days of the revolution.
David Dudley F.eld, Jr., is now eighty-six
years old and stands erect and kiniy, full
six and a half fett Inch. He wes lor forty
years regardeel as the first lawyer of the ra
tiona great, broad minded "lawyer, win
wanted law reformed, and to that end he Pi
bored, and wrote, and spoke until twenty
four of the states adopted his reformed civil
code and eighteen adopted bis erimina' crele,
and then he launched for greater things, and
framed a code for the civilized nations, by
which war was to be avoided, and peace nd
justice be preserved. A chancellor of Eng
land said of him t hit ho had done more ft r
law reforms tfcan any other man living or
dead. Added to all this he is a democrat,
and advocated tha seating of 'lilden instead
of Hayes.
Ntxt comes Stephen J. Field, kr own ns
the jurist. He is now seventy-six years old.
In early manhood he ca-t his fortunes with
California, bsing first placed n the circuit
bench and then on the supreme bench, and
lat.r, on the bench of the federal court. He
was chosen on the electoral commission that
seated Hayes in the presidential chair, but he
voted with the democratic minority. He an
nulled the validity of the ironclad oath that
was passed to humiliate the south, atid wiote
a dissenting opinion in the confiscation case?.
In lS'SO he secured 65 votes in the nominat ion
for president by the democratic con veatit n.
He was alwavs. 00 the side of the oppressed.
Cyrus W. Field chose merchandise r.s his
calling, and when fifteen years of iige obtain
ed a situation as clerk with A. T. .Stewart,
the merchant princ?. In a few yeais he be
gan the manutactuie ejf paper and becane
the head of a large and prer.perous business
In ltv3 he conceived the idea of laying a tel
egraphic cable across the Atlantic ocean.
He enlisted Peter Cooper and Moses Taylor
and a few others in the enterpiixe, and lor
thirteen years never ltgcd nor faltered in
his faith It was his raptcrous enthusiasm
that kept the project from being abandoned
by his a-sociatts. He crossed the Atlantic
forty-four times, and devoted his own for
tune to it. I11 ! 53 a cable wa? laid and a
few messages sent, but it soon ceas-d to
work. Thj civil war began end nothing
more was none until ISO), when another ca
bli was lai t by the Giat Etstern, but it was
broken in the bottom of the sea wr en 1,'idiJ
miles had been laid. No', dishtartcned'ho
tried again in 1SCG find was successful. His
life's gitat work was accotnphsh?v!, and he
leceived the gratitude and admiration of oil
nations. He has in the last fe.v years ben
engaged in a proj-ct to hy a cable ac oss tho
Pacinc ccean oy way cf the Handivich is
lands, and thus belt tha world with an elec
tiic chain. What a wonderful man whit a
wondeiful life he hos lived! In i7 h con
ceived and prej-ctid the sys-re . of elevated
railways in the city of N; v York, an 1 scar

He was always a j ioneer-an originator , but
there were greedy c.irmc rants around watch

and planned and piotte.l t break hi.lown

pressed his stock down to tha lowest point
and theu bought all but his and consoli
dated it with the Manhattan and ruled him
out, and in many way dr ve him to the

millions out of him 1:1 one year and then tho
od man went to hmi anisid: "Mr. Gould
I am old and tired. You hive a' ready got

would come and beg v u to stop t n i let me
keep what little there is left." And Gould
stopped. He could not r: fuse w hila stand

And la-1 an 1 i onucl' o? the br. thfrs

visited the south, and his paper has defended
us and plead for us with hi northern bieth
ren. He is the friend e f all humankind. Ha
was Henry Grady'. friend and I have before
rne now a letter written to me frcm New
York, in which the writer says:
"Not long aio I called c n Dr." II?Ery Fiel
a frlandid old gentleman whose heart is full
of tha milk cf human kindness rnd who is a
great lover of thi south. We chntted of
Georgia and cf the south and of Gradv. He
said 'yes, I shad never loget how Grn'dv cot
his start in the w. rid. Oat- morning I drop
ped in to see my brother yrus at his office
and found him e p-ning h s mail. Among
his letters was nj from General Gordon
asking for a loan, a loan for Grady, who, he
said, ga e promise of becoming a brilliant
journalist if te could get a start on tLe up
grade. II-j wanted --20:o to purchase a
fifth interest in lhe Constitution. Gordon
wri te so much in his favor that Cyrus asked
me what I the tight of i I replied that in
an.u 'h as he had the mney toEpareaad
word lu't rr-L-s it, I would let "the young man
have it. He elrew a cheek for it at once at d
sei.t it , to him y the next nail. He paid
:;f 1 he iiiony hick at the eni of th? yfar
ard t e . ther half at the en 1 of the s. t"'o.d
ye; r. U'lie.i he was here shortly before his
IP-th ma tnl'.-e.l HI1.1 r- thu ni.tt,..
Dd he said : "Doctor, fpai 1 our brother 6
per cent, interest on that money. How much
do y"u suppose 1 made on the Investment?"
Of course I couli not guess, and ha said
'just 41 per cent.' -'
Take them all in all the Field brothers
have had no Tarallel in this country. They
are all great end all good. They are incapa
ble of conceiving a mean thing. They live
just above the erth and breath an etmrs
phere that i higher and purer than preju
dice or reveng?. The.re are many fanvlies as
good, but 11 Tie so great and good.
It is well for a rr an to contemplate such a
family ence in a while and to draw the con
trast between true greatness and tbe small
maenitude cf the multitude who are mly
great in tnnking money or in securing fame
and e.fhe by artful practices and questiona
ble methods. 7hreare bnt few great men
now and not many are coming on. Envirem
ment is getting the upper hind. But the
cor.mn people will be as they hive ever

Fric-nds readers cf Ihe Constitution, this
