DAVID'S? DIFFICULTI1CS WITH SOUL AND ANFECTION FOB J0NATI10N.

Topic:—David In the Palce.

And it came to pass, when hp bad made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as hia own soul. 2. And Saul took him Ibat day, and would let him go no more home to his fathev'sbouse. .3 The:1 Jonathan and David made a covenant, because h? !&?<*

Now David is the hero of the hour. He has saved tbe honor^of Israel, and brougnt low the pride of the Pnilis* tines. Saul, the king, seema in the chapter xvii, 58, not to .know who this famous lad may own as father, and so asks him. From this we are not to infer that. Saul did not recog» nize the boy. But it was in the way of praising his recent expioit that be said, '.Whose son are you my boy?" "Who is father to so brave a youth?-'

fid was advanced to a place of pef« manent residence in the palace of Saul. 2. He became the embodied and abidng idol of Jonathan's heart. Jon athan was Saul's son, and heir apparent, as we would suppose. The soul of Jonathan was wedded to that of David. They were not merely united by an attachment, or touch they were knit as threads through a garment. 3 David was stripped of his shepard insignia, and Ciothed in the royal raiment which was the property of the kinu's son. 4. He grew in popularity with the people verses 5 and 16 and with the countries last part of verse 5. This promotion is remarkable for its regularity and rapidity after it fairly started, Boyhood, if it he true to itself aud to the calls of the Divine spirit, will.certainly at last reach a point where prosperity will repay past privations. Unsuccessful men will be shown generally to bare been abusers of their privileaes and persons in boyhood. 5. He was under the increasing smile of Providential prosperity. Saul saw this, as we read verses 12 and 14, and was afraid of him on that account. For illustration of the same truth, read Nebemiah. When the enemies around Jerusalem saw that God was with Nehemiah and his feeble baud, they began to break down with discouragement (Neh. vi, 16.) "If God be for us who can be against ue.'' THE BOY KING'S BEHAVIOR UNDER

PROMOTION.

1. He was a model of patience. From no record at our command do know that David ever maneuvered Hebad feltthestream ofauointing oil and hasted to be king in Saul's stead and the'^descent of the spirit of wisdom and consecration from the Lord. But it did not turn his head did not inflate him witn pride did uot inspire him with that malignant purpose which so many of the heirs apparent in England have,shown to accomplish the destruction of the reigning dynasty. David waited as if be were equally as happy in the fold^and fleed q,s he could ever be under the

weight

bis own soul* 4. And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, unci avid and his garments, sword, and lo his bow, and girdle1.5 And David went out wlntnei»oeverSaul sent him, and behaved himself wisek: and Saul set biiu over the men o" war, and be was accepted in the sight, of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants. i. And it came to pass as they catne where ,33aViil was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing,# to meei king Saul,'with t£ brets, withjoy, and instruments of music. 7. And tire Women ansivered one another as they played, and said. Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thouands. 8. And Saul was very wroth, and 8. And oaui was ver, ""j1"' eluded that the end or wouiu Denis "thesaying displeased him and he said, decrowning and David's ascension They have ascriped unto David ten

of a crown.

2 He stands before us as a beautiful model of modesty. Jonathan, the king's son, has his arms abou: him in devoted embrace. But this does not spoil the young king. He drops the crook and clothes of the slave, and arrays himself in the roy» al raiment and for his sling takes up he sword and bow and girdle." But one of these things moved him. When the victors returned from the rout of the Philistines, the mothers and maidens from many cities(Chap. xviii, (3.) swarmed the way of the conqueror's coming, and shook the with acclaim. But although their responsive praise lifted the name of David up.'.n the highest note, it did net spoil tb» young soldier. What a picture we have here of steady self control in tne high wind oNiallelujahs, In this aspect of David's modesty under the maid ens' praise, verges' and 7. 3. Ho practised a prompt obedience, verse 5, David went witherso* ever Saul sent him.. Thus be won popularity with the people, and made complaint impossible/in the part of the king.

DAVID ENDANGERED.

1. Saul was displeased. So soon as the current of popular acclaim carried the praise of jDavid over Saul's, the morose old king saw the storm that would swallow hia dominion in the waves of darkness. Of course he was mad, (verse s) and he meditated and muttered to himself and concluded that the end of it would be bis

And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways and the Lord was with him. 15 Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him. 16. But all Israel and Judan loved David, because he went out and oame in before them.—1. Srmuel xv lii. 1-16.

Wlu'ii the proud Philistines saw theirljhampion slain by the single stone out of tbe sling of the stripling sheperd boy, their'naturally superstitious minds dpubtless attached a mighty meaning to the defeat.

exposed to death in battle. This little trick David himself copied in after years, and by it Uriah perished at David's bands. Saul was not so successful, and only felt an increasing fear, (verse 15.) This Are of jealousy was fanned day by day,through all the remaining turbulent life of Saul. Bnt at last the little son of Jesse conquered completely the tall sou of Kish.

DAVID'S SOURCES OF STRENGTH. 1. Those of his personal character previously mentioned. 2. The union of his and Jonathan's hearts.

This lesson gives but the first fruits of that abiding and beautiful affection. It has its record iu every day, and danger which intervene between the time that the maidens sang David's praise and that final day when the defeated Saul lay dead upon his own sword. To love like David and Jonathan, is the love of proverbial perfection. We shall see more of this in our next lessen. 3. He was the chosen of the Lord. God had promised that this little one whom his father Jesse was not fond of who was of a naughty" spirit iu the estimation! ofhis brethern (Chap, xvii, 59,) should set up tbe theocratic throne in his person, and in the persons of his representatives and anti types forever.

Iu making up your estimates for tbe Presidential election this y«»ar, you may count all the electoral votes of the Southern States for the Democratic candidate, save those of South Carolina. Every other Southern State will e:o for the Democratic candidate. Sheriff Morgan, of Yazoo county, Mississippi, who was run off by the whites, and knows something of their temper, says that twentyfive thousand soldiers cannot save Mississippi to the Republican party. If that State, with a mnjority of thirty thousand colored voters, can be cat ripd hy the Democrats, what, can the Republicans expect from any other Southern State"? No other State except South Carolina, has a positive colored majority, and if the Republicans cannot carry Mississippi, what Southern State can thev carry? None at all, exeppt South Carolina.

In this part of the country thev feel assurred that they can,get tbe'required fifry-live in all the rest of the United States, and for this reason they are very hopeful of pullintr through this Centennial year. In a word, the Democrats of the South are verv cheerful. They are assured of four States that have not heretofore, at any Presidential election, been counted within the range of Democratic possibilities—namely: Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama.

Ifbolh parties declare for hard money their platforms will read as much alike as two speiliug-books. What great issue will divide them? None at all. It looks now as if they will have nothing better to talk about than the discharge of some door-keepers at the Capitol and the subststntion of ex-Confederates. This is small potatoes. I believe^ there are more ex Confederates in Federal positions as a reward for being Republicans than there are G'onfederote Democrats. It often happens iu the South that exFederals are turned out of office for not being sufficiently loyal to the parly and ex-Confederate Republicans put iD. One man from East Tennessee got a- clerkship under the Democratic House, but so far from oeing an ex-Cenfederate he wa9 au officer in the Federal army during the war, he was indorsed for the position by all of the Tennessee delegation largely made up of exConfederates. Now it is clear that if the Republicans should get control of the next Congress this ex-Fedeial soldier would be turned out iu a hurrv, and likely so:tte man-of the Mos--by or Longstreet stripe get in.

The mighty charge., v^av sent 'to Washington that Gaw was sleeping with a Democrat and Hhat Kirby was littje better than Democrat, and they were both relieved from, duty! The fact that they had been ex-Fed-eral soldiers counted nothing in their favor.

The idea seems to prevail, among outsiders, at least, that it implies a regutar back woods greenhorn, and this Idea* no doubt, prevailed among the makers of Webster's, Unadridged, judging from the deiiiiition of the word given by them. Even the idiotic little imps who were born and reared in tbe "shanties" ot the wilderness a thousand miles west of the Mississippi are taught by their Hoosier parents to believe that if a man is from Indiana he is the kind of being above described.'But why Indiana, with her hundreds Oi towns and cities, with her thousands of-miles of railroad forming a network so. fine that even a quarter-section of territory can scarcely slip through, with a people whose energy and pereerverence have gained for them intellectual and material wealth comparatively unequaled, and. being surrounded by such civilized communities as Chica-

A CANADIAN HKBSIT.

Xakel lor Forty Years,

Fn the Carleton Plu.ce (Ont.) Herald.

Incredible as the following may appear, it is an authentic fact, to which hundreds can bear testimony:

About forty years ago_ a young man named Wilson, residing near the town of Perth, conceived the lunatic idea of leading a hermits life.

The youth had from his early age shown symtoms of derangment, and this proceeding on his part was not considered strange by his friends. The chosen place of his hermitage was about three-quarters of a mile from his parental homestead, in the recess of a dense bush, where he erected a small hovel, aud furnished it with an old canoe, which be used as a couch to sleep iu. Divesting himself of all his clothing lie has. ever since remained perfectly nude, with the exception of a tattered remnant of a shirt, which his fancy leads him to retain. In this nude State, for 40 years, he has lived, walking in tbe depth of winter through I be snow, and yet he has never beeu known to have received a frost bite. When he requires a drink he walks deliberately into .the river.it mattering

not

to him what

season of the year it may be, and wades out till the water reaches' his waist, and then he stoops and quenches his tbrist. His food is brought to him by his friends, and when given to him is eaten with the voraciousness of an animal, which be now resembles more than a man, his body being as heavily coated with hair as that of a cow, He never shows a dangerous disposition, and chatter? in monysllabes. When people cross bis path he invariably begs for tobacco, for which he has aa evident ^.partiality, and in chattering iotttS will utter "baeca" until his request is granted. His hair is long, gray and un^ kempt, falliug far over his shoulders, and his beard, which is similar, reaches down below his waist. He is now between 60 and 70 years of age, and possibly the only living being ever known to have lived year after year perfectly naked and exposeiTto all the inclemencies of weather which mark our Canadian winters.

MAI-LORY.

Ttio East End Coal Kifiig. Lafayette Mallory, city coal contractor, sells his' coal cheap from a number of reasons, all plausible and. sensible. First, because he is engaged iu other business at which be can make a living, and which furnishes his rent free. Second, because he sells such large quantities of the blac£ diamond. Third, because be has been in the busiuess along time, and is fully up to the wishes, aud fourth, because he believes in small profits and quick sales. Either address him through the postoffice, or leave orders at the corner of 13th aud. the Vandalia railroad. Orders may also be left with Rive, near the corner ol Fourth and Ohio streets.
