It ie better to have even cur fawn on you than snap at you, ‘The richest man in the world is he who is contented to be just what he is, If the scandal about you is true your better way is talk yourself nearly to death in order to convince men that it is false. If it is false you can afford to keep still and allow it to die of its own poison. TH temper and smoke are about equal in their ability to drive a man out of the house. A gossip ought not to rank as the equal of 8 saga- cious clam; for the clam knows to a nicety when to shut up, but the gossip does not. Men are like an old fashioned country wagon, ‘When it is loaded everything seems to work well and smoothly, but when it has nothing in it it rattles with a noise that can be heard for miles, You can no mor» get good by doing evil than you cap get wool from @ hydraulic ram. It may be slightly Hibernian, but it is neverthe- lesa true, that the best way to look at the faults of your friends is to shut your eyes. To very few of us will these verses apply, if each one judges for himself; but to many more will they apply, if others judge for us:-— Said yain Andrew Sealp, my initials, I gness, Are known, so I sign all my poems A. 3. Said Jerrold, I own you're a reticent youth, For that’s telling only two-thirds of the truth, Some people are willing to be good if they are well paid for it, and others are good for nothing. It does little good to boast of your ability. If you have any the less you say about it the better. Solid work.elways speaksfor itself, ‘J€ that man had been under my treatment,’ said a physician who wor- shipped himselt and didn’t believe in any other god, or know of any, “he'would have been out of doors in twenty-four hours, instead of lingering for six weeks.” “Yes,” was the rejoinder, ‘‘ont of doors and on the way to the cemetery.” It is seid that some ladies st the slightest provoca- tion color ¢o the very roots of the hair, and put it on themselves. There is little use in wasting one’s time in hunting for the philosopher's stone. The only real article of that kind which we ever read of was the one used by David during the unpleasantness between himeelt end Goliath. Any stone is a philosopher's stone if a philosopher picks it up and uses it. Now, David | reasoned that the atone represented an idea, and that if he could get the idea to enter the head of Goliath any little misunderstanding that had previously ex- inted would be settled at once. He put it into his sling and sent it, with his compliments. Goliath at once felt the force of the idea, and ever afterward kept quiet about the subject. Moral:—Any stone you see is 8 philosopher's atone if you have a strong arm to sling it and @ good eye to aim, It was 8 representative of the fierce activity of our American mercantile life, with tts grinding and mer- cileas competitions, who, on being asked what he had accomplished by twenty years’ work, replied, “I have succeeded in accumulating just about $1,000,00v and in having two strokes ot paralysis.” It older folks would follow the example of the lit- tle girl, who was too young to baye a long train or to spend much time in wondering what kind of bait catches the largest fish, there wouldn’t be any need of socialism or communism or even pre-millennari- anism, When asked how she came to know a child who wore calico she replied:—Why, I smiled and she smiled. and then we were acquainted.” Ladies seldom pursue this course, but the gentlemen are far wiser and better, for they are always willing to “smile.” ‘Tho druggist’s clerk who declared that he had no “scents” was only # little more candid than the rest |, of the world, Many @ man who, under the overpowering glamour of Sfretlove, which be feels eure must either end in marriage or suicide, offers himself. his poverty, his debts and his ill temper to the lady of his choice, Wakes tp, after paying the parson’s fee, to the solid fact that the cherished one whom he took to be the other half of himself is reajly both halves. Tho chief business of man is to convert himself into a golden image, and the chief business of woman is to break him all to pieces and spend him for point lace and diamonds. There is something very peculiar about sweet- meats. In a family of stsid, orderly people, where the mercst shadow of dyspepsia hangs over the household, they will keep for weeks; but introduce into that sober circle a couple of boys who never heard of indigestion and there isn’t a cupboard in the house where a jar of preserves or even # pot of pickles can quote any other passage of Scripture than that which tolls us that we don't know what a day or even an hour may bring forth. No piece of personal property has ever caused so much literary disturbance as the little lamb which on some birthday festivel came into the possession of Mary. It was so ridiculous in the child to teke that lamb to school and to allow it to follow her around like an overgrown and Prodigioun poodle, that it struck the fancy of some frenzied poet, who got into » monoma- nia on the subject, and has been writing about it ever since. The last effort is almost too great a strain to endure. It shows plainly that the mania has taken ‘an scute form, and that the poet’s mania has at last become confused. Listen to the mournful melody :— lover, all seren Extinguished it, for Want any carese seen, ° What makes the youth love Mary a0?

The late editor of the Graphic, however, has demonstrated that metaphysics, merabile dictu, can be used in ordinary conversation with great effect. He was too modest to say that a certain geu- tleman was a falsifier, so he declared that “the sub- jective order of hia thought did not correspond with the objective order of the phenomena.” Just learn these words by heart some day when you have no business to do, or take them with you on a summer vacation and spend the leisure hours of many weeks in trying to fasten them on the end of your tongue, and you will find them of great moral benefit. When properly uttered, and with the air of a man given to profound research, they will so confound the auditor that his fit of ill temper will be over long before he can find out what you mean, and if he does hap- pen to come to the conclusion that you have called him hard names, just ask him to reproduce your language word for word, and you will find that the ordinary North American brain is not equal to the strain, It is very hard to tell your wife that she— no matter what—but very easy to say, ‘My dear, the subjective order of your thought does not cor- respond with the objective order of the phe- nomena.” She may possibly think that you are trying to tell her in your own modest way that you think: of presenting her with a new sealskin sacque. Our Baptist friends must not be too boastful of the size of their denomination. When they are sifted down to the last analysis it will be tound that they are only Congregationalists with a close com- munion attachment. CLOSE OF THE PRAYER WEEK. The recommendations of the Evangelical Alliance were better observed and by a larger number of churches and people than at any previous Week of Prayer since the suggestion was first made by mis- sionaries in India, Several churches, while not in- creasing the number of their weekly meetings, se- cured a fuller attendance of worshippers at the regular services and considered the topies for the week as presented by the Alliance. In this way a feel- ing of unusual tenderness and solemnity was diffused, Meetings were held daily at the Union Theological Seminary, at the Young Men's Christian Association Rooms, at the North Dutch Chapel in Fulton street, and at the Broadway Tabernacle Chapel for ladies, There was also a noonday meeting eyery day at the First Presbyterian Church in Fifth avenue, and after- noon meetings in the Marble Church on Fifth ave- nue and the Central Methodist Episcopal Chureh on Seventh avenue, Besides these seyeral churches held meetings in the evening—some of them of a union character—in which Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Reformed and other denomi- nations participated, They began a week ago with Christian union and they ended yesterday with the hope of the world’s conversion. And between those he church, education, the family, Chris- thi And this evening some of the churches, at least, will hold a grand jubilee, at which the object end work of the Evangelical Alliance will be presented. In Brooklyn similar meetings were held daily in the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association and in @ score of churches of ditferent denomina- tions. In some churches there and in this city meet- ings will be continued throughout this month, and should the interest warrant they will be continued until the spring So far as may practicable it union moctings be held on week, alternating between t! ated. by the Evangelical Alliance were ignored by the Young Men’s Christian Associ- ation of Brooklyn, which chose topics instead that related to ae men, such as, “Their Power for Good or Evil,”” nel Choieg and the Importance of a Right Choice,” and the Last evening they considered “Sowing and Reaping,” as a business in which spiritually every young men is engaged. Of the churches that have arranged to continue their meetings this week may be named;—Asbury, Wash- ington square, Fiftieth street, St, James, Harlem, Eighteenth Street and Twenty-fourth Street Metho- dist Episcopal churches; also in the Central and Tab- ernacle Baptist churches and in Bleecker Street Uni- hurch. . Meetings will be continued this 's Christian Association Centennial Baptist Chureh, in Carroll Park Methodist Episcopal Church, East " l, Fleet Street, Park Avenue and First al churches, First and Avenue Baptist churches, Mayflower, Mis- sion of Plymouth Church (Mr. Beecher will lead this evening), Simpson Methodist Epise: pal, South Cor tional Church in the mornings, and Strong Place tint Church, afternoons, and evenings at Twelfth Street Reformed, Tabernacle Baptist and Warren Street Methodist churches. ‘There will, doubtless, be other churches engaged in similar meetings during the month, so that the wish of the Baltimore ministers will be, in part at least, complied with, Mr. Newton, in this city, will take an outlook of the past week, and speak of the sym- pheoy. of religions as it appeared to him, Mr. Millen, iu Brooklyn, will review the work of the Evangelical a also look over the field of prayer in the world, ISRAEL'S RANSOM. THE LIFE-GIVING FORCE IN JUDAISM—WHY THE JEWS SHOULD BE THANKFUL—SERMON BY RABBI GOTTHEIL. The course of fortnightly English discourses de- livered by Dr. Gottheil, at his temple in Fifth ave- nue during the present winter is devoted to the prophecies of Isaiah in so far as they relate to the mission of Israel. Yesterday he took his text from the forty-third chapter, verses 3-7, dwelling more particularly upon verses 3 and 4:—‘For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy one of Israel, thy Saviour: L gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee, Since thou wast precious in my sight thou hast been honorable, aud I have loved thee; there- fore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.”” ‘The preacher pointed out the difficulty which the Israelite of to-day encounters in dealing with asser- tions of that nature, as he finds himself at variance with the sentiments that dict them, He has travelled so far from these ideas of an inherent supe- riority of his own race that he cannot for a moment believe that divine justice could make other races or nations a ransom for hisown. Must we then, asked the speaker, declare, in plain language, that we haye outgrown and left behind forever this part of bibli- cal teaching? that while we- might excuse: their originators we could plead uo extenuating circumstances, were we, with our light, to adhere to them? Honesty before all things; before faith, for the soul of faith is honesty. Honesty before doc- trine, book or man; betore Ivaiah or Moses, What- ever cannot stand with that let it go down. Out of the root of honesty a purer and larger faith is sure to spring. But what if there are reasons to silence our objections ? What if we are able to show, as [ think we are, that a fair inte tation of these words shows us the speaker's mind in # very different light to that in which it appears at the first hearing of his words? Nay, that wo far from uttering an uu- worthy sentiment the prophet discloses views of history and of divine government which still, after more than twenty centuries have rolled over hig grave, deserve our respectful hearing? Three lines of argument I offer you to-day in brief exposition, t—1, with the phraseology; 2, with the object; 3, with the va- lidity and compass of the statement. We must, in the first instance, take into account the wide differ- ence between the ancient mode of speaking and our own, With us God has been thrown back, almost out of sight. To judge from our speech we should say that God has very little to do, and really enjoys now that blissful indifference to the affairs of the world which the ancient stoics claimed for Him. He has set this wo and stupendous machine in motion and now lets it take its course, We of Nature as accomplishing all her task without inter- ference or guidance from her Author. But with tho ancient Hebrews God did everything. He was the active cause of all that happened. made the sun rise and set; He clothed the earth in hor vestures of jory in summer and lullet her to sleep in winter; fio Paved o destroyed ations; He gave Victory and inflicted defeat, nmon event had its aexign, was & revelation of His power, a stretching forth of His arm. A nation whose ears were accustomed to hear that the mountains and the valleys sing for joy, that the rivers and the seas roar in pres of their Maker, that trees clap their hands, ¢) the sun oes forth like # hero, rejoicin, to run his race, must have been #0 tall of the presence of & Traonalt behind all these wondrous scenes that they attributed them to His direct and immediate action from the greatest even unto the smallest, We say, the law of yravita- tion draws every object when tnsupported to. the ground; a pious Hebrew would not seruple to say, God throws it down; and so Ho does in reality, it we believe Him to be the suthor of the law. Sick- ness, death, we say, comes through contagion, ex- re, ex@rases or puisoned airs and water; the Ke rew said, God made a man sick or caused bim to die, and the destructive agents were His messengers. Ours is the language of facts as we trace them; theirs was the language of piety, which looks to the inten- tion rather than to the means by which they are at- tai Now, when a Hebrew thinker reflected on the fact that their return to their native land was made possible only through a king such ‘yrus, who in order to obtain the power to set them free had to tive from « comparatively obscure origin to a position of a powerful monaren aod ruler, and that to this end uations had to be conquered and sub- ery Un due’, he saw that their loss was Israel's gain, that the conquered were the ransom tor his own nation, and but for their downfall Isreel could not have risen to freedom. Were & yphet to deseribe the last war in America he would probably say, “God made the sufferings and losses of the South a prize for the unity of the Republic;" and treating op the result of the Franco-German war, “That gave France @ ransom for snited Germany,” The Tenton's Empire was resuscitated in Versailles, not at Frank- | fort or Berlin, where former attempts were made but failed. HOW ISRAEL'S FRTYERS WERE RIVEN. Just so were Israel's fetters riven by hands which first conquered nations and subdued them, and humbled princes and overthrew their thrones; and the Hebrew, who hud an eye for the maryellons in history interweaving, and # heart accessible to deep feelings ot gratitude, and a speech born of piety, could use no other language than that which we find here to express the wonder and amazement of his soul. But we shall draw nearer his iind still if in the next place consider the object he had in view in drawing the attention of his hearers to the price at which their liberation was bought. Was it to fatter their vanity—to inflate their ts with pride and make them vainglorious ? Just the reverse; he used itasan indictment against the people, as if he said, You do not sufticiently remember at what great price you have been redeemed; you begin ab ay to lose sight of the facts which you did acknowledge when ‘OU first tasted the sweets of liberty regained—that for your sakes great und mighty empires were over- thrown, Relapse into your old errors and seek the ways of the Gentiles, and thus make a bad re- turn for the heavenly favors. You do not strive to prove worthy of them. When a father reminds his children of the good he has done them, of the cares he bestowed on their well being. on the sacrifices he made on their behalf, on the love and forbearance and patience, does he do so for the pur- pose of infusing into them a spirit of self-import- ance—what great personages you must be!—or with the intent of stimulating their sense of duty to fulfil the hopes he builton them’? If he turther recalls to their memory how he denied himself all pleasure, made himself their servant, and, as it were, gave his own life for theirs, does he mean by this thyt he considers himself deserving less consideration than his offspring? Woe unto the evil generations that so misinterpret parental appeals! Why, then, not receiye the words of those who spoke in the name of the Heavenly Parent in the same spirit of corrcetion and chastisement? Why not readthem rather as rebukes than flutteries? Nuy, can there remain in us any doubt as to the in- tention of the speaker when we hear him inveigh ageiust his hearers in such bitter terms as we find in verses § and 24—calling them blind and deaf, and sherging them with having wearied God with their backslidings ? HY I8BARL SHOULD BE THANKFUL, Ho says:—Great things haye been done for you; great things are now expected of you, If you ‘have been preferred by God above other nations so should you uow prefer Him above all idols, serve Him above all other gods, become in truth His chosen servants and instruments for the salvation of mankind, Lask, Is there anything unworthy in this sentiment ? Anything we could be ashamed of or that should lower our reverence for the Bible and the men that speak to us from its pages ? Neither is His distinction between Israel and the Gentile uations in any case invidious or derogetory. The writer could not have meant to say, See of how little acconut are they, while you are esteemed so precious in the sight ot God, He would thus have stripped bis argument would, in fact, have stultified himself. ness of the ransom was his theme. In the vastness of the price lay the whole force end effectiveness of his appeal. He does not even change them with wickedness; does not attribute their downfall to their sintulness, nor the rise on their ruins of the new power to its greater deserts. Nay, I maintain that he speaks in ity and commiseration. All these were sacrificed for your sakes—ull these that had, as far as man can see, a8 good @ title to life and happiness as your- selves. Yet in the counsels ot God they were given @ ransom, so that you might live and accomplisu the great work that is laid on you. THE UNIVERSAL RULE OF NATURE. And this leads us now into this third considera- tion, of the widest possible significance and practical importance. A glance upon nature reveals to us the universal law—that life ws out of death, birth out of decay; one must fall that another may rise. Modern science has construed this into a general | In the struggle for life the fittest survive. It m1 not seem the tittest to us, but it is #0, neverthele: Nature shows no tavors, is no respecter of persons, spares nono, is incorruptible, and whatever dies is pe for death and whatever lives is fit for life, and to that all else must be subservient. Ove must become the reason for the other—sg it is decreed in the book of the Eternal. ‘TRUTH FROM ERROR. This is true with regard to spiritual facts. Trath grows out of the decay of error—is distilled from dissolving elements of false ideas, Superstitions must be swept away to cleer the room for a true and substantial taith, So im social, so in national life, as I have already shown, We all accept this, we all bow in reverence before the supremacy of that behest of the Almighty Creator. We piles paces aud bear our bi ns and go unrewal , Often ill requited for the best we accomplixh, because we believe that, though we sow in tears, others will reap in joy. Our tears are the dew on the flowers that will delight other eyes; from our ashes they will be nourished. One age must serve as @ stepping stone for anc 3 one tion, by its h, prepare the field fo ceeding one, ‘That theme is a stupendons one; I can only point to it as essentially not differing from what our prophet said. He saw it, probably, as in a glass, darkly, yet with such vivid intuition ae to satisfy him in bis mind that he was uttering no blasphemy in asserting that Egypt, Ethiopia and Seba were made, by God, a ransom for Israel. ISRAEL'S MIRACLE. And what a prophecy is here! How many nations have passed out of existence, out of memory? Israel alone has so far resisted the tooth of time. Explain it as you may, the miracle is here. And, on the ac- knowledged principle in science, we are justified in aftirming that there must be something iF his pecu- liar faith that fitted it for lite and resisted the destruc- tive tooth of time. The ransom, however, wak, since the fall of the kingdom, not paid by others, but by himself; the martyrs came from his own ranks. What a price did not God demand at his hand! His reward cannot fail him. We have no other explana- tiou than that given by another Hebrew prophot— “Behold, I, God, have not changed, and ye, house of Israel, are not consumed.” “REAL ESTATE.
