TTbo, What Can Answer Th XMbU tW Only Lamp That Can Uiwrringly Gold tt Soul to Rest an4 Pear Two State Tlrat End arc Forever and Forever. The iaind of man mast question; must b full of questionings. He walks in a tangled forest of mysteries and deep awful questionings that can not be quieted. What am I? What is this unfathomable, immense thing I am in which men call thuniyerse? What is life? What is death? What am I to believe and what am I to do. And he hushes the beating of his heart to hear th answer; but none comes. The grim, gaunt mountains answer not. The huge measurelew deserts have no voice, and all stern forests are silent. Solitude is solitude still; it speaks no word. And ' the weltering, murmuring, boundless sea, casting up its mire and dirt, roars on with its eternal monotone, and makes bo reply. The very heavens rolling silent overhead, with its sideral fires and blue, glancing stars; millions past computation of burning, rushing, whirling worlds; instinct with life and movement, all are dumb. The restless cry couies back on the heart as an echo; where am I, what am I, and whither do I go? And man feels that these are momentous questions; higher than the heavens, deeper than hell. They take hold on immortal life, and tbey must be answered. In comparison all things are as non-important as wind-shiftings; all else is mere nothingness, autumn thistles, vain. It is now and forever these wistful, anxious questionings must be satisfied. No paragon of argumentative Greek or flippancy of Greek philosopher will do. Ttie stupid. Tague, insai extraditions of Je er, of Home of Mohammedanism will no do. That inert, lifeless formalism, that wearisome routine of idolatry that has lain for centuries on the bosom of the earth, that will not do. No answer, then, in that. Muchofthts thing we call the past, the .Mighty Tast, is hollow sham, sickening mockery and holds no truth. It answers not. it can not answer these wild, palpitating question, that come up from the lower deeps of man's soul and that must be answered, or he is crazed, frai:tic, mad. Mere gingle. crede philosophies, vain semblances, All that worthless rubbish that makes up forms and external parade, that will never do ad answer. This yearning soul wants fcread and no chaft. Its hunger is for reality, ! Eot emptiness. Dead horses, saints, martyrs, philosophers, prophets, poets, rot under feet, worms eat them, plowshares go over and through them, and generations sing .and -donee about them ; or here and there some great-souled, pensive, meditative man walks sadly above them and asks the secret f their living. But they will not reply. There millions of the dead hold hard the secret of their end. No tear can drag it from them, no moans nor midnight prayers, no bitter wails, no sobs, no anguished chiding can bring these dead tongues to speak and eive awful answers to awful questions. And why not? Oh! why can not this dead dust stir and tell something to this Hying dust? Why can not, the dead being whisper to his court, or the pulseless mother warm her broken offspring? Must the poet sing to ns no more, nor the prophet tell of that void which lies beyond, hid from mortal sight? Can not Plato tell us now the truths his pupill asked ere he passed into sleep? Can not Socrates answer from near that Athenian Prison and tell us of the mysteries beyond? Oh! it is sad; these mighty ones once shook this earth with the storms of battle or the thunder-bursU of their genius; but now they are still and will not stir. No King, noprophet,no philosopher to guide ns or tell us of that mystic, shadowy hereafter or this momentous terrible present. Nothing on this earth where we live and where we die, has got a tongue wherein to peak and quiet this panting heart of man. o sound, whisper, roice, echo, walks the rridor of this heart, draped In mourning. . destasourning for the living unanswered uestionings. All is dumb; dead silence above, beneath, around, and thus we go on. Ii there no solid rock on which the stormtossed bouI can rest its weary feet? Yes! Man! take God's word as God's truth, and the only truth there is in this lower world, and see if it will not answer every question, satisfy every longing and remove .every doubt If that book men call the Bible can not answer these wild yearnings, these two-fold terrible questions of yours, no other thing can or will; believe that book lovingly, truthfully; believe it or Sive:it up; go "down to silence brokenearted. wretched, ruined, die. In all this wiliichaos of living, that is the only thing, the best thing to lay hold on or cling to. If it be not truth that book, nothing is; and if it answers not, nothing does. On this yeasting, heaving sea, all vessels break upon the rocks but that one. It will float, and while dtdoes, millions must and will hold toil. No man ever lived more in earnest than one Martin Luther, a peasant boy, an image breaker, a reformer, and with-all a deepeouled questioning man. He ha i these heart-questions to face Lira and demand answer. No evading them, no putting of them off; and only that strange, wonderful book could and did answer them.- There one - evening at sunset in his little garden near Wittenburg, Germany, away from the tumultsat this same Luther, sad, thoughtful now, inwardly asking: "Where is the little dead Madeline, my child Madeline, who left me no longer than yesterday?" And there . as the stars came out over the drowsy hum -of that German city, this same book an swered Martin Luther's question; and the : great man's faith took hold of it, and his rreat imagination clothed it with glory and he was content. Madeline was with God. Heaven is real. Hell is real, and to do right is all, and eternally important There are two conditions here and you fan not conceive of the one without the other pain and pleasure, Joy and sorrow. A line is drawn in this hie, and that line continues throughout all eternity, separating angels from devils, Abels M f ' T IL 1 1 . 1 iron. lAti us wan aiong uotn lines. Upon the left are all unbelievers, idolaters. murderers, drunkards, robbers, adulterers, blasphemers, liars, slanderers, misers, hypocrites, etc. Let us walk along this line again. Here are Kings, heroes, statesmen, scholars, parents and their children, widows and orphans escaped from their widowhood and and orphanage, for God is their husband and father. Tue Lord's poor, wearing flowers plucked by an angel from the garden of God. The Lord's poor are now rich in treasure imperishable. The work is done. The Judge arises. His sword is unsheathed, the stars stand bark beyond its sweep, its edge glimmering tire. "Depart ye cursed!" The dungeons of woe are bolted, and the eternity ol their night begins to endure forever. Listen reader to two sermons, both preached by the same blessed Savior. Iiis first a sermon of blessings; "Blessed are the poor in spirit; blessed are they that mourn; blsi-d are the meek; blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after Tighteousnef; blessed are the merciful; blessed are the pure in heart; blessed arc the peace makers; blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake." This wa. His first sermon ; now listen to His last: "Woe nnto you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites; woe unto you, ye blind guides, ye fools and blind; woe unto you scribes; woe Tin to yoa, thou blind pharisee, ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" Curses and Meetings go together. When you say God can not bate, you aay He can not love, and every argument you use against hell, is an argument against Heaven. Yes! love incarnate can damn a sinner and It can do It for all eternity. O, eternity I let thy ages tramp, thy cycles roll, but thou canst not crumble or scar the walls of hell, or rust and break its locks or silver the hair ct God, who has sworn by His eternal sell
that tbe'sinner shall die. O, eternity! God has wound up thy clock and it will never run down, and its tickings and beatings will be heard by all the Jost, rforever and ever." The soul if lost is . lost "forever and ever." Lost in boundless, bottomless, infinite, eternal darkness. It will scream on, and cry on a cursed and ruined spirit "forever and forever." Fly on, lost soul forever; no angel of mercy will ever cross thy solitary way, or overtake thee in thy wanderings. Fly on, thou sbalt never find ieace till the ghost of eternity will greet you over the grave of God, and thou shalt never und rest till thou art able to fold thy wings on the grave of thy Maker. Luther Bsnsos.

A Rochester shoe-cutter who had his hand caught In some machinery, placed a cobweb over the wound to stanch the flow of blood. The web contained a small spider, which stung the man so severely that his whole arm has swollen to twice its natural size. Lord Bkaconsfild always used a quill pen un til on one occasion he visited the great pen manufactory at Birmingham, and was a'-ked by Mr. Glllott to accept a box of steel pens. The box was sent to him, and Lord Beaconsfield afterward said that it was with these steel iens that "Lothair" was written. Thk Sunday school Times says: "Persons who would not willingly utter a lie or steal their friend's money, loo often write a fulsome falsehood in the guise of a letter of commendation. and therebv steal what has vastly more than a money value, the confidence and happiness of him to whom the letter is sent."

Tub Catholic Review, in an arUele on the read ing of the Scriptures by the people at large, observes: "Even among Catholics it fosters a Catholic spirit which in many cases Induces individ uals to set up their individual judgment against the will of the Church. The Indiscriminate circulation of the Bible, even with notes approved by the Church, has not slways always been productive of good." St. Lor is pickpockets are no respecters of perpersons. Two of them robbed Judge Walker, of the Illinois Supreme Court, of IWO a day or two ago. They were very polite in assisting him into a railroad car, and one of them even kindly carried his traveling-bag Into the car and placed it on a seat for him, and w as profusely thankful for his civility. The loss of the pockttbook was not discovered until later. A lady visitor at the Executive Mansion during the last days of the Hayes administration said to the colored servaut of Mrs. Hayes, who was busy packing the family trunk: "Well Winny, how do you feel about leaving the White House?" "Well now. Missis," said she. "you know we came for four years, and we've enjoyed ourselves, and they're all sorry to have us go, and now I think this just the time to leave." Two patients in an Iowa Insane Asylum, a man and a wctnan. escaped by means of a rope ladder, saddled horses In the stable of the Institution, rode twenty miles to a clergyman, and by bim were married in the morning, nothing In their manner at that time indicating that they were not sane. The pair continued their Journey until afternoon, when each became convinced that the other was demented, and applied for protection. Somk Democratic papers do not seem to see that Democrats have nothing to do with this Internecine disturbance in the Republican party, but to make and keep it just as hot and bitter as they can. It Is a fair question whether this can be best done by giving Garfield or Cockling aid and coinfort, but for the present the majority of the party agree that the Democracy can be most benefited by helping üarfleld. St. Louis Republican. Madaxk Gkrstkr Is a great little homebody and knits all of her husband's stockings; it being one oi her boasts that he has never had to buy a pair of stockings since he was married. A lady called to see the prima donna the other day and found her making baby clothes for a brand new baby that belonged to one of the chorus fingers. "Why don't you buy them ready made for her?" asked the astonished visitor. "Oh," was the reply, "ready nude baby clothes are never half made." Rkv. William B. Ccllts. a Presbyterian preacher of Southward, Philadelphia, is greatly alarmed about the future. He thinks the world is soou to come to an end, for the reason tirst, because of the approaching peril aelioii of the great planets, and second, because great changes are going on in the sun, which must materially affect the sun if not destroy it. There is great danger when the planets are In perihelion, and Mr. Cullis says many persons believe that from 1881 to 1SV will be the most perilous Lime to human beings a time of great heat and cold, spread of fever, floods, drouth, etc. Theie things may be takeu as a premonition of the eud of the world. Leu.rn Accuracy for One Thing. Everv boy and jnrl should determine to be accurate. In studying lessons be sure to get the exact manning; in talking state the truth of the thine; in working, do everything just right, 1 have lately heard of two boys who worked in the same store. They were named John and James. Their dnties were alike, and they were required to be at the store at 7:30 o'clock in the morning. John was always there on the minute, or a few minutes before the time; James came the Mme number of minutes after. When John arranged the goods in the windows they were accurately marked and priced; James forgot to put the number on, or priced them incorrectly. These are only two of the things which marked the distinction between the two boys. Hut every day and week they grew further apart John doing his Work" accurately, and therefore well: James slighting all he conveniently could. Soon John was yromoted for carefulness in his duties, arues was warned to alter his manner, ar.d finally discharged. The accurate boy grew to be a wealthy, self-made man. Men liked to deal with him; they were sure of being treated fairly. James tried several posi tions, but lost them cn account of bis inaccuracy in little details, and though he gets through the world somehow, he has not the happiness and success which with the same opportunities John achieved. . There are many things that tend to make a noble character. Place accuracy high in the list.
A BEMAUKABLE PAÜK0T. A Jtird of Correct Habits and Linguistic Attainments Pies of a Hemorrhage. ' Cincinnati Gazette. - Judah was a parrot, and such a parrot, but Heaven rest his soul, for now he is dead dead at .the ripe old age of three score and ten plus five. J udah was a most remarkable bird, and a recital of his many noble qualities might set many a worthy man to thinking. His code of morals was such that none could afford to despise them, and were honored by him in their observance. Indeed, it is rvlated of him that he never overstepped the bounds of the strictest propriety but once during his lengthend career, and then not without cause, as an intermiuable rainy spell had so disturbed his usual equanimity of mind, that, becominR thoroughly disgusted with the moist condition of the atmosphere, he milled his ftathers in an angnr fashion and exclaimed: "Damn it all. but to be candid about the matttr, his mistress declares that to this day she is not thoroughly satisfied that he did not say, "It is damp and cold." However, it was determined not to allow him the benefit of the doubt, and poor Judah was whipped. "Yes, sir, ve hedt him right straight up and fipt him," said Mr. J udah, his master, aud, be it related to his credit, he never swore again. What a .noble example is thus furnished by this poor bird for that host of blasphemers who swear most outrageously from day to day, and would probably continue to swear though they should be whipped again. This bird of all birds was the property of Mr. J. Judah, the barbar, of East Sixth street, and like his master, was known to all the city and half the suburbs, and many were the distinguished citizens who called from day to day to hear poor Judah, the parrot, we mean, discourse upon the virtues of hair tonic and cocoanut soap these little impromptu speeches, in keeping with the cosmopolitan spirit of the age, being delivered in three several languages German English, and Spanish. But oor Judah is no more. His spirit has winged its flight to that more congenial clime where parrots cease from troubling, while his body, incased in a neat wooden box, lies buried 'neath the grape vines in the -backyard of
the barber sio p. "Why didn t I stuff him?" said Mr. Judah, in answer to a question from the scribe, "Oh, Mrs. Judah vould haf cried if he vas statten. Oh, no; my vile vould not haf him stutled; but I haf kept me de fedders from Iiis tail," and the disciple of Faber was immediately made the proud possessor of a plume from the lamented J tidah's caudal appendage. This bird was originally brought to this city from Mexico some forty years ago by a lady whose name has not been handed down in the annals of the times, he having become a complete master of the language, both walking and talking Hpanish, if the reports may he believed, before leaving that country. After remaining in this city a sufficient length of time to complete his knowledge of English, according to Tineo's most approved method, he was next cai.ied to Europe by his wealthy mistress and learned German at either Heidleberg or Stuttgart, but upon this point again the chronicles are somewhat indefinite. Returning to this country his mistress, by a reverse of fortune, found herself somewhat impoverished, and to better the state of her exchequer she visited her uncle and poor Judah was hypothecated, so to speak, or to put it more plainly, soaked for the paltry sum of $50. In this manner Mr. B. Frank, the notorious pawnbroker, became the possessor of the bird. Judah remained in the Frank mansion for some fifteen years, or thereabouts, but upon the death of Mrs. B. Frank mourned so unconsolably that he was bartered for the consideration of $35 to his late owner, Mr. J. Judah. With him he nmained until the day of his death, which occurred Wednesday, y 11, at 9 o'clock n. in. "He vas in the best of spirits," said Mr. Judah Judah, "until about 0 o'clock in de evening, singing so sweet, leetle tunes from de Daughter of de Regiment, and vi.itling sometimes to de boys; but at 9 o'clock. veil I goes to gif him some supper, de blood corned rushing from his mouth and he falls over dead;" so that it will be seen that Judah died of a severe hemorrhage brought on by over exertion ot his vocal organs. Many touching little anecdotes are related of Judah. lli mistress kept a large box in a dark corner of the cellar, and when his birdship became unruly he was thrust into this rudely extemporized dungeon. He became so f ami I iar with this mode of punishment at the last that it was only necessary to show hint the box, when he would immediately exclaim, 'Tolly don't like it, Polly don't like it," and would at once become very tractable from that out. When singing he always marked time with his foot, and changed liis tune to a whistle instantly when asked. He had become so accustomed to travel in hi younger days, that when it was found necessary to carry his cage from one place to another, he would call out, "üo on the railroad, ha, ha!" He was by nature very sympathetic, and when he observed his mistress, who was subject to headache, with a bandage on her brow, he would immediately set up a loud crying. . He called for his meals tirst in English, and if not supplied at once, rebate:) his request in German. All in all, Judah was a most remarkable bird, and we shall probably never look upon Iiis like again. A Very Bright Canary Bird. A family living in a New York hotel have a canary bird named Beauty, which has shown a wonderful aptitude for picking up tune, und seems to be far in advance of other of his kind in general intelligence. He is especially fond of the head of the family, recognizing his footsteps, and greeting him with a burt of song. On a recent evening, in the presence of guests, the door of Beauty's cage was opened after the matter had seated himself at the piano, and the bird flew to the gentleman's shoulder and then to the music-rack on the piano. When his master whistled an air, playing an accompaniment, the canary warbled and trilled in accurate tune and time, hopping upon the player's finger's and over the keys. When the whistling acpaniment ceased the bird perched upon his master's head and awaited further orders. Then Beauty was placed i in front of the pier-glass, where he sang to his reflected image in harmony with the piano accompaniment, and when his master stopped playing the bird flitted around the room in pursuit of his shadow on the ceiling. After he had convinced himself that he had cornered his dark silhouette he sat gazing abstractedly at ittillhewas coaxed away. After Beauty had retired to his cage he kissed the members of the family good night, imitating the kissing sound when he touched their lips with his bill. His education has been acquired within a month, and his tutor is the little daughter of the family. The South and Its Slaves Charleston (si. C.) News, May 3. Mr. Frye regards as a crime the slavery which helped to make his people rich and which left the South poor. The Northern States sold their slaves and received the money for them, the Southern States, as their right under the Constitution, kept their slaves and were robbed of them by the victorious North. The President's Wife. A Washington special says: Mrs. Garfield is a very sick woman. Many regard her as daneerously so. The President gives her his unremitting attention day and night, and sees very few callers The chances are that Mrs. Garfield will recover, but she is very sick now. Later advices indicate a slight Improvement in Mrs. Gartleld's condition. The arrogance of capital was never more fully illustrated than by what happened a few days ago. One of the wealthiest Galveston merchants was much startled by a man with a pallid face rushjng into his store and saying, breathlessly : ..s'One of your teams ran away." "Mother of Moses! Are auy of

"Well, then, what do you scare a man out of his senses for? From the way you talked I was -afraid an accident bad happened." , i' EX-SESAT0R WALLACE'S KEPLT. Did Any Star Route Money Go Into the Democratic Camp? TNew York WorMJ Sir Certain Washington correspondents of the Philadelphia Press, New York Times, Boston Herald and other newspapers give currency to statements "that money to a large amount received Irom the fouar j:ute King was used in nominating General Han cock at Cincinnati;" "that money from the same source was used in the Pennsylvania Democratic Convention of 1830," and that in my capacity as Chairman of the Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriation Committee on the Postoflice appropriation bills I aided the Star Route King. It is hot my habit to contradict newspaper falsehoods, but the truth touches the purity of General Hancock's nomination, and therefore I write. No money whatever came from any source to carry the delegation from his own State for General Hancock, and none was used His enemies and miue trumpeted the result of that Convention as a victory over General Hancock and his friends. General YY llliani B. Franklin was in ehargeof the Hancck headquarters at Cincinnati, and controlled the expenditure of all moneys used- there. No such sum as S-TOKX) was either raited to expend or was expended there. The whole sum expended did not exceed $1,500, and this was lor rent, niuvc, banners, badges, e'c. Those in charge of his interests there did not believe in securing either his nom ination or his election by the use of money. In the passage of the Foetofhce deficiency bill of 1830 as Chairman of the Sub-Committee, I was asked for a hearing by those interested in routes which would be cut off by failure of the appropriations. They complained that the House Committee refused to hear them. The Sub-Committee Senators Beck, Booth and myself gave them a hearing. It was public, and the statements made to us were printed. We reported the bill back to the full Committee favorably. Our report was adopted, and I was instructed to call it up and put it upon its ansage. It passed the Senate without a call of yeas and nays. I cave my views of the subject then. which are in the Record. In our action upon that bill, the guilt or innocence of no public official was passed upon, but we acted solely upon the conviction that it would be unwise public olicy to break down the mail service west of the Mississippi bv refusing to vote the money to carry it on.

Baltimore Every'Saturday. A French lady sent her maid to buy some flesh-colored stockings. The servant girl returned with stockings jet back. The anger of the mistress soon gave way to laughter when she recollected that her maid was a lady of color. A Roman Catholic Priest at Leicester, Mass., broke up a recent Sunday cock-fight by jumping into the ring and wringing the necks of the fowls. He means to carry out the Bishop's recent decrees against Sunday amusements and cruelties. Seventeen members of the New York Assembly had front swats at the "Black Crook" IHSrforma'ice the other night. They went merely to see if it was anything that a law ought to be iased prohibiting. They couldn't quite make up tLeir minds, and will have to go again. An exchange says: "Of the G00 young ladies attending Vassar, no two can agree as to what they would do in case they saw a bear." Now, this is a libel on the ladies, for were he well dressed and respectable, 590 of them would wait with curious impatience to see if he proposed t hug them. George Sumner, who was ve.-y intimate with the Disraeli family before Benjamin became great, in a lecture on him which he delivered here, said that the direction imparted to his earliest steps in life was derived from his accomplished eldt sister, who laughed him out of many of his youthful eccentricities, and showed him the way to safer paths. In Berne, the Capital of the Swiss Confederation, there are 150 distilleries, and the consumption of spirits alone amounts annually to thirteen and a quarter gallons to each adult. In Geneva there are consumed each year fifty-five gallons of ft-rmentcd liquors to every man, woman and child. The average yeaily expenditure of intoxicants amounts to about $30 per capita of the population. Iter. Dr. Beach, of St. Peter's Episcopal Church, New ork, says: "I object to teetotal method. We have sins enough already without making one out of the drinking a glass of wine. I counsel total abstinence to the man who can not drink without becoming drunk, but 1 can not find that the teuii-rate use of wine is to be regirded as a sin upon Biblical or any other grounds." Cathcart Hill, the British Cemetery in the Crimea, where are buried many of the famous "Six Hundred." is said to be in an extremely neglected and dilapidated state. The encircling wall is broken down in many places, and within, on the very grave of the dead, cattle are sometimes stabled, and wandering Tartars make their encampments. The neightioring French Cemetery, on the other hand, is well cared for and presents an attractive appearance. Mrs. Mary J. Studley, a physician and author of some note, threw herself from the steamer Kathaain, while on the passage from Boston to Ii cklaml. Me., on Thursday evening last, and was drowned. She has recently resided in Framinham, Mats., and was a member of the Faculty of the Normal School there. She left a note to the purser the steamer instructing him to send her . iCeakre to Framineham, and - in another note, addressed to her friends In Framing ham, alluded to herself as hereditarily in sane. Her body was recovered. Jim Webster went on a spree yesterday, and invited a large crowd several times into a Brooklyn saloon. He was about to reeat the insult, when a colored friend said to him. adiuonishingly: "Look heah, Jim: money am mighty skurse, and you am jest frowin' it away.

A member of ' a Pennsylvania Bankinz Association, wnicn was not incorporated. sold his shares and withdrew. He had been conspicuously advertised as a Director, and no notice was taven of his retirement further than to omit his name from the published list of ofncers. The concern failed. A depositor sued this ex-Dirtctor for his claim, on the ground, that the deposit was niaiie in urnorance ot his withdrawal, or which notification ouch t to have been eiven. The Supreme Court has decided for the plaintiff. Judge Sterrett savs: "Where an ostensible or known member of a copartnersnip retires mereirora, and wishes to shield himlf frocn liability- for further debts of the firm, it is necessary that personal notice of his withdrawal be given to all. who have had dealings with the firm, and that notice must be given by publication or otherwise to an others."
