In Whom*do we Trust ?
/Let. no man who trusteth In bis own
leart think for a moment that he wiH be
I. to stand when the day of trial and
Iversity comes. Because the human
is weak—it is deceitful above all
lings and desperately wicked. For men
\lo measure themselves by themselves, and
compare themselves among themselves,
proves that.they are as deluded as foolish,
instead of making one man, or one set of
men, as tests for the trial of another, God
i>as caused, his word to be established as
the only standard of character, and by
this and this alune can those who desire to
be truly the christian form an opinion of
themselves. But, alas! too many want
and do take to themselves a more lax and
indefinite rule by which they are satisfied
to be governed. Very few, when com-
' " with.the vast crowd that are de-
to tread the straight and narrow
«•"!
Not to him that sets out in the morning
with resolution and gallantry, but to him
that holds oat till the evening of life, does
the promise apply. To him that resolutely
puts his hand to the plow, resolving never
to look back, and keeps saced that resolve,
is the glorious declaration made, "Thou
art worthy of the kingdom." He that
endureth to the end shall be saved.
"What, then, wiH it avail us to enter the
race to all appearances with becoming
ardor?—what will it profit us to enroll our
names merely among those who are truly
of heaven's mighty array and engage for
a time to fight so valiantly the battles of
our mighty King-c-I say, what will it profit
us unless we continue to run with unfal-
tering step, with undeviating ardor ? unless
we gather to onrselves the shield of faith
and take to ourselves the helmet of salva-
tion—being able thereby to quench all the
fiery darts of the wicked, and continually
shout forth the battle cry of victory 01
Death—on ! right on to victory t
Thus we must act, thus we must run,
thus we must fight or our setting out is
all in vain. Hope must die, prospects
blacken, and blasted we stand at a greater
distance from God, occupying a position
antipodal to all that i.« joyous and glorious*
more the heirs of unending despair than
if we had never entered the jgee or joined
in the fight. Our cbaracteiWre soldiers of
the cross, and racers for the prize must be
formed and determined here in order to
wear the crown eternally and forever here-
after in Ik at brighter, holier, happier land.
Surely if our religion, if our holiness, is
not of such a character here as will bear
the strictest scrutiny, withstand the great-
est temptation, endure the severest tria!

That adversity is adapted and often in-

to make proof of their firmn,ess and sta-
bility in the faith of the gospei, none can
doubt, who has made to any extent the
scriptures his study: or had any observation
in human experience. But who, I ask, is
able to stand it ?

" truly, the Lord God Omnipotent reign-
eth!" But, alas, reader, alas for human
frailty! alas for want of confidence and
faith, our moral sky is not always bright
and clear—the sea of- life is not always
smooth and tranquil—times of sore trial
must come, days of adverse winds must
blow, a mighty tide of adverse scenes must
be^encountered and overcome, affliction's

citadel of heirs foul monarch and heHfcn's

But we will look again at difficulty, at
trial, and who, I ask, is able to withstand
it ? who, I say, is able to pass the fires and
come out at last as pure and unalloyed as
gold tried in the fire ? Alas, too many
there are who never &Hfefrst time turn
their eyes to the griat fountain source
from whence all successful help must come.
No wonder they fall; no wonder they a *o
disheartened and discouraged and finally
lay aside all claim and throw off all alle-
giance to their royal sovereign, and give a
quit claim-deed to their legitimate home
on high. Many, too many, fall away, and
it is then that the true principles ot our-
Holy Rel'gion, and the standard of christ-
ian virtue is left to be sustained, upheld
and maintained .bv those alone who love
religion for religion'3 sake, ^vheólrér 'fcígei

and principles that can little be affected
by such things as these —^ they counted
the cost and are not disappointed. The

Wc used to think it was so quc<>r
To see hiin in his thin, gray hair,
Sticking our quills behind his car,
And straight forgetting tlicv were there.
Jo think it was so strkrge
ÍWÜJC Wirc/i Ji'ttfr ¿ií curia,
And that his wrinkled cheek should clyingc
In color like a bashful girl's.
Our foolish mirth defied all rule,
As glances, each of each, wc stole,
The morning that hs wore'to school
A rose-bud in his button-hole.
An d very sagely we agreed
That such a dunce was never known—
Fifty! air! trying Mill to read
Love-verses in a tender tone!
No joyous smile would ev,er stir
Our sober looks, we oft'fn said,
If wc wore but a school-master,
And had "withal, his old, white head.
One cav wc cut his knotty staff
Nearly in two, and each and all
Of lis dcclaredjhat'wé should laugh
To see it break and let him fall.
Upon hit old pine desk#we drew
His picture—pitiful to see,
Wrinkled and bald—half farsc, half true,
And wrote beneath it—twenty-three !
Next day came eight o'clock and nine,
But he catne not, our pulses quick
With play, we sa/d it would be fine
If the old Schoolmaster were sick.
And still the beach trees bear the scars
Of wounds which wc tftat morning made
Cutting their silvery bark Ho stars,

lie had frequently ' importuned an old
neighbor of his (who was no-, particularly
noted for his ' profusions' pf religion, but
was, nevertheless, "highly respected hy all
who knew him) to attend one of their
meetings. Now the piety and honesty of
the Deacon was a matter of doubt among
some oY his fellow-townsmen, and particu-
larly so with the old man above mentioned,
who, for convenience, we may call Uncle
Josh. .
After frequent calls, Uncle Josh con-
sented to accompany the Deacon to one of
the meetings, and accordingly attended
him to the ' red schoolhouse' one evening,
much ta the surprise of all present.
In the course of the service, the Deacon
arose with a penitential countenance, to
tell his experience. He was the prince of
sinners, he said. If he güt hio deserts, he
would be banished forever from divine
favor. After making himself out to be all
that is vile in man, according to his inter-
pretation of 'he that humbleth himself
«hall be exalted,' be sat down with a Sub
lime sense of having done bis duty, and
asked Uncle Josh if he wouldn't tell his
experience.
With some reluctance h« arose,amidCthe
breathless attention" of the assembly—it
was fin unknown occurrence for Uncle
Josh to speak in church. Hq said " he
had listened, with great interest to the re-
marks of the Deacon, and he was happy
to he able to assure the brethren that, from
his long acquaintance with him, he could
fully endorse all that the Deacon had said
concerning his meanness and vileness, for
he certainly was the meanest man he ever
kneic ! "
„ The wrath of the Deacon was terrific.
He sprung to his feet, shook his fist under
Uncle Josh's nose, and vexcláiméd aloud-;

Jacob Strawn, of Rockford, Illinois, has
earned the reputation of being the giant
farmer of the West. Twenty-seven vear«

operations at first were small, bu't, continued
to increase each year, until he had reduced
over 20,000 acres of land to a stato of
cultivation. He has one farm of 7,800
acres, and another of 10,000. IT« lias
usually employed from 200 to 300 men,
and a large number of horses. Every year
until quite recently he has stalled from 500
to Í00 head of cattle, and kept other live
stock in proportionate numbers.

The old proverb is "that it never rains,
but it pours." The killing of Key seems
to have crazed the silly pates of several
very romantic married ladies in this me-
tropolis.,
A few d'a¿s.j|fíej^tl#^-Sn±fes-l^edy, a
married woman living in the southern part
of the city, or what is known as th* island;
informed her liege lord that she had been.,
grossly insulted the previous evening by
Mr. 33., an acquaintance of the family.,
The incensed and outraged husband, with
revolver in hand, rushed to the office of the
supposed offender, and demanded satis-
faction. , .
<l Satisfaction for what!" asked the as-
tonished Mr. B, ,
" For having intuited ipy wife, sir, lást
evening," responded the excitéd hnsband.
" Pray, sir, wlip^ares charge me with
ever having insulted your wife by look,
word or action f" again inquired Mr. B.
" The lady herself, makes the charge,''
promptly responded the husband,
" With your permission, sir, J would be
pleased to face jny accuser, and hear her
make the charge in my presence," miidlj
remarked the imperlurable Mr. B.
" You shall be gratified, sir—come and
walk With m.e," remarked the still exas-
perated husband at the same time return-
ing his six-shooter to his pockei.
Before giving the, closing seine, it may
be well to inform the reader of the facts":
On the evening previous, Mr. B. had casu-
ally called at the house of a friend, arid .
there found the iady in question without
an escort. At a late hour she prepared, to
return home, and Mr. B. kindly tendered
his services to see her safe to' her door.
