Gerlet stt sn raaleeÂ¥e t Soem mc mewcesose For the Review John Hadden and his wifo sat in their vineâ€"covered cottage in the twilight, very happy with theirfirst baby, just old enough j to have winsome ways, and make the home I cheery. Mrs, Hadden looked still like a young girl, so gently had the years come and gone. f "We must find a place for Ihim, because his wother has been so good to me," said the young wife. A troubled look came into the husband‘s face. To bring a boy to the great eity with all its temptations, a boy who was the only hope and joy of his mother, was a doubtful measure. _ A place might possibly be found, because the rising young business man bad many friends ; but where should the lad live? and who would watch over his evenâ€" ings, and be mother and sister in a strange city? » "Oh! there are hundreds of nice boardâ€" ing places, and he can come to seo us very often." "Perhaps we ought to take him with us where Christian associations will be thrown about him." "I am willing, Mary, for your sake ; but who will make a home for him ?" "But a home loses itsâ€"comfort to have any outside person come into it. He would be foud of the baby, and I would not mind the extra care much. My sister comés occasionally, and a young man needs the society of true, noble girls," said pretty Mrs. Hadden, almost willing to have the boy come. ~‘"But," she added, "I could so so rarely have you alone,John ; and when could we plan together, or talk over the affairs of the day? We shall only have one life to live, and if we begin by taking somebody into our home, I‘va afraid it will always be so." "But if the boy goes wrong, it will kill his mother," said Mr. Hadden, who loved the privacy of home life as fully as his wife. "Oh [ he won‘t, and he must take his chances with the rest. He has had any amount of good advice." & A situation was found in a large wholeâ€" sale dry goods store, and a respectable boarding house obtained. Arthur Howard was a frank, genial open hearted boy of nearly 17 years, fall af en: ergy hope and love of a good timie. Naturâ€" ally refined, wilh plogsant néanners, & skilâ€" led nusician for his years, with ® fuge alâ€" Could They Have Saved led musician for his years, Wikli & 3100 Alâ€" most as fair as a girl‘s, it was nohhfsupl that he won the hearts of liis etmployers, and became a general favorite. Mrs. Hadden invited hims to tea, and he I ging of a Church, a glerious Church, By Christ, our Master, founded ; Not one of greed, or Phariseo ereed, By sectarian limits bounded. A Church of life, built on the rock Of charity towards each otherâ€" "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, God judges thy erring brother. It has no Creed by Council framed, Dooming souls fo deep perdition, If they agree not with Trinity, Or doubt Synod‘s holy mission, was so playful with the Laby she half reâ€" greiied she had not taken him into ber To (reed or Caste no shrine is raised, It hoeds no bigot‘s ranting ; Not o‘ Andrew, Paul, nor Potor‘s, Bat a Chureh of Christ‘s own planting This Cburch is a mighty Catholie Church, A Church for every nation; It leans not on vain, empty forms, Its nameâ€"ILvANGELIZATION, Freedom of soul, of mind, of thought, Unfottered by pricat or pastor, Adoring the xrcxit Creator through One Christ, one Lord, one Master. For a‘ That, an‘ a‘ That. My Church. BY F. WELLESLEY PORTER "But I can have w good time without wine," said Arthur, remembering a mothâ€" er back among the hills, who he know, was praying for lim. "How different it is ever here !" said Arâ€" thur; is he he held the baby from picture to picture on the walls. It was so very different from the boarding house. Noboâ€" dy seemed especially interested in him there, save a few young man, who insisted upon his going to the theatre, and then to asupper afterwards. "And you don‘t drink wine!" said a handsome young man, who swore when not in the presence of ladies, and declared girls didn‘t amount to anything save to talk nonâ€" sense with, when a fellow hadn‘t anything else to do. "Should think you must have been brought up down in the pine woods of Maine." "I don‘t like the taste," said Arthur. "You‘ll never have a chance to go with the best set if you don‘t drink. Can‘t get in at all. Why, they‘d think you were a dencon in the church !_ Besides winc does not hurt anybody, any more than coffee. Yon like a goo@ timeâ€"don‘t you ?" home: _ "No, nonsense ; it doesn‘t hurt a fillow to have a jollification onee a week. I‘ve been the worse for drink, once in a while, and so have all the boys and the girls like us quite as well, as far as that is concarned. They don‘t object to a glass of wine or beer any more than they do to a good cigar, and most every ofte will say she likes that. No use in going through the world so straight laced. KNoevet‘ll seo all sides of it unless you go round." ~ _ _ _ And so Arthur Howard drank with the rest ; much, for as he eaid, he did rot like the taste of it f The boarding house rooms grew no pleaâ€" santer so he spent more evenings on the strect. â€" Ho wished he ktiew some pleasant homes, at which he might feel at liberty to call. His employers invited him occasionâ€" ally, and many ladies, who with daughters in their families, were very pleasant to him, but they never stopped to think that a homeless young man in & great city needâ€" ed the companionslup of true, pure girls. They wers busy with church work, temperâ€" ance work, and education societies, and forgot the young men at their very doors. Perhaps they could. not spare the time 40 entertain young people, or to bring them together. But for what were their homes given to them. â€" Aud why were the carpets j so preity, and the pictures so attractive,} and the coal fire so cheery, if not to make | n place for somebody just beginning the life which they ha@ found so full of happy realization. â€" They had said that home was woman‘s grandest sphere, and why hal they not used it ? Where their husbands and these same homes might have been the door of heaven to some souls and they were not. | Mrs. Hadden‘s home was as pleasant ns‘ ever, but she was very busy with a new literary association, and she lind been made the secretary of the forcvign misstonary soâ€" ciety in the church, and really she got very hittle time to return the calls of her lady friends, which she needed to hold her place socially. â€" And it somehow never seemed to oceur to her that the lady friends did not need these calls, and somebody else did. If Mrs. Hadden started this literary society among the young people, it ‘might have been helpful to some who, at the formation time in character needed all the unseen moulding possible. We forget that as soon ns the plateau of middle life is reached, we are hereafter always to halp each other to reach it. Arthur read less, stayed in the little room in the respectable boarding house less and went to church very hittle. Business was constant; he needed recreation, and so he took it on Sundays. Mrs Hadden nevar asked him to spend Sundays with them, the day when perbaps of all others he needed home life, because she wanted her husband aloue. Letters, fond and anxious, came from the earnest mother, and Arthur wrote affectionâ€" ately; but he never told her that he went roaming on Sundays, or that he drank wine or beer in the saloons, and that he cared less and less for the sweetness and purity of home life. Ho was just as genial as ever, had grown handsomer, but the innocence of the boy had faded into the slightly apâ€" parent self confidence of the man of the world. Mr. and Mrs. Hadden sat by their even fire, while two pretty children played about on the floor. "I‘ve heard sad news toâ€"day, May," said the husband. "The firm where Arthur is wrote me a note this morning, and I‘ve been there all afternoon. ‘The books are You know we believed in Arthur fully, and never resommonded a boy so highly in my life. He eame of such good blood, and his home training hid beon so elavating and tender. The whole thing will come ount; and what is worse Arthur is to be arrested and must go to prison." Mrs: Haddon‘s beart sank withit her. What if it had been little Harry who playâ€" ed by Ler side? ; "It will kill his mother, and she was so kind to md !" It was the old story,â€"need of money for ‘have his misdeeds see the light. _ _ What the cell of a prison with its iron bed, damp walls, store foor, and coarse increased expenses lhad caused false entries to be made. â€" The disclosure came to Arthâ€" ur, as it comes to most offenders, like a lightning stroke. No man is ever ready to J td w can Wt o+ ‘s heart sauk within her "My darling boy !" "LDon‘t feel so, mother !" â€" But his beanâ€" tiful face was blauched, and his whole rame trembled with emotion. fare, is to a gently reared boy, some know, who, alas ! have tried it. What remorse is, what agony retrospecting brings as one traâ€" ces the downward way, step by step, some others knew. There came one dayâ€"to the prison cell, a white haired woman, accompanied by Mrs. Hadden. She seemed to have grown aged in a day. Her steps tottered, and her whole body trembled, as she folded the young man to her breast. "It never would have happened if ‘d had a home. A boy gets crazed in a great city, with nobody to care for his soul or boâ€" dy. I got so lonesome, and the stroet beâ€" came all the home I had." * "How did it happen, my son ? You have been my all, my only boy !" "I could not burden you. I meant to have been a man for your sake, for I do love you," and the young heart quite broke "Aud why did you not write to me about it ?2" The long interview ended with tender forgiveness on the part of the mother, and choering words from the repentant young man. "I‘ll begin again, mother, and begin right." â€" But the letter that went from the prison call a few days after was opened by other hands back in the country home, for the mother had gone beyond. Mis. Hadden held little Harry very close to her heart that night, after the sad news came, and the tears foll on his curly brown hair, as she thought how dreary was a dark prison cell, with no one near to speak a word, and her own fire bright, and her home beautiful. Suddenly she looked at her husband : "Ican‘t get Arthur‘s words out of my mind. ‘It never would have happened if I‘d had a home,‘ aud perhaps we might have saved him." And with the same troubled look that he had just years before, when they talked about Arthur‘s coming, Mr. Hadden said : "I was jast thinking about that very thing Mary. On the top of Mealourvonele a hill in Invernesshire, Seotland, is a lake one hunâ€" ‘ dred and eight feet long and eighteon wide, ‘ which never freezes and is always full, without the appéarance of any regular supâ€" ply. This lake has been said to be unfathâ€" omable, but the contrary has now been asâ€" certained. _ About seventeen miles from this lake is anotlher, called Loch Wain, which is covered with ice all the yearround. On the top ota ridge of hills in Portugal, called Estrella, there are two lakes of great extent and depth, especially one of them which is said to be unfathomable. What is most ~remarkable in them is, that they are calm when the sea is so, and rough when that is stormy, which makes it probaâ€" ble that they have subterranean communiâ€" eation with the ocean ; and this seems to be confirmed by the pieces of vessels they cast up, though almost forty miles from the sea. There is also m very curious lake in this country, which, beforem storm, makes a frightful rumbling noise which may be heard at a distance of several miles. And there is a pool or fountaim called Fervances, about twontyâ€"four tmiles from Coimbra, that absorbs not only wood,, or rather incrusts it with a case of stone; but the most surâ€" prising cireumstance is that it throws up water enough in summer to run several mills, whereas in winter it is perfectly Praru or ax Oup Setruer.â€"Through the death of Mr. Thomas Blanchfield, of Eramosa, which ccourred on Saturday, the country: loses, perhaps, its oldest resident. . Mr, Blanchfield had reached the extreme age of 101 years and four days. For some time he had been complaining of illness consequent on old age, and though his death was not unlookâ€" ed for it is deeply regretted by his relatives, and a large number of acqutaintauces. Deâ€" ceased was born in Tipperary, Ireland, in 1779, and came to Canada over 60 years ago to Dundas, where he acted as farm foreman for the late George Rolph: After 11 year‘s tosâ€" idence there, and on the breaking out of the Canada rebellion he resigned his position as farm foreman and took a Considetable part in the tobellion: Immediately afterwards he removed to Eramoss, whete he has since resided.

Guelph Mercury. The resulés of soundings over the bed of the Atlantic have mace clear, it is believed, the egistance through the middle ot the oceait, 6tendirig from frorth to sotith,; of a sunken ridge, often less than 1,000 fathoms upâ€" on the surface, while ofi either side the water was a depth of from 3,000 to more than 3,450 tathoms; so that the eletatioti of the ocean‘s bottom requifed to mmake" these deptlis dry land wotld bring ip between them a mountain range from $,000 to 15,000 feet it height. The bigher points of this sinken ridge now form the islands of the Azsores. The attempt to cafry the Temperance Act in Stanstead County has met with sigâ€" nal failure. ‘The Witness attributes this to the apathy of the temperance peoplo, the the apathy of the temperance peopic, ‘he superior strategy of the opponents of the measure, use of money and the French Curious Lakes.

And yet every one who knew him in those early days of hard struggling and persistanut selfâ€"denial felt that he had in him these elements of a sturdy manhood that would lead to sure success in the grandpurpose that possessed llli}m to push Leyond the ordinary walks of C. He came of plain New England stock. His father, Abrabam Garfield, a direct descendant of the stalwatt Puritans, moved some sixty years ago from this state to the township of Orafige, Cuymhoga county, Ohio,(fifteen miles fro:a Cleveland) wlere James was born on the 19th of November, 1881. ‘Two years later his father dind, leaving a family of four children. His mother, a woman of unusual strength of character, managed by her exertions to keep the family together until her boys were old enough to earn their own living. But the land was poor, and it was bard work to get more than scanty subsistance. Young Garfield‘s life was one of monotonâ€" ots toil. He worked hard npon the farm in the sammer,end at the carpenter‘s beneh in winter, ‘The best of it was he liked to work. There was no a lazy bone in his He had an absorbing ambition to get an \ education, and the only »road open to this end seemed that of manual labor. Ready money was hard to get in those day. The Ohio Canal ran not far from where he lived, and finding that the boatmen got their pay in cash and earned better wages than he could make at farming or carpentry, he, hired out as a driver on the tow path, and soon got up to theâ€"dignity of holding the helm of a boat. Then he determined to ship as srilor on the lakes, but an attack of fever and ague interfered with his plans. He was ill three months, and when he rceovered he decided to goto a school callâ€" ed Geauga Academy, in an adjoining counâ€" ty. His mothergave him a few dollars, some cooking ulensils, and a stock of proâ€" visions. Hehired a small room, and cooked his own food, to make us expenses as light as possible. Ie paid his own way after that, never calling on his mother for any more assistance. _ By working at the carâ€" ponter‘s bench mornings and evenings®and vacatton times, and teaching country schools during winter, he managed to atâ€" tend the Academy during the spring and fall terms, und to save a little money toâ€" wards going to college. He had exccllient health, a robust frame, and a capital memâ€" ory, and the attempt to combine mental and physical work, which has broken down many farmer boys ambitious to get an education, did not hart him. When ke was twenty three years old he | entered the Junior Class at Williams‘ College. He had saved about half enough money to pay the expenses of the course. How to get the rest of the sum needed was a problem. A kind‘h:earted old gentloâ€" man, many years his senior, who has ever since been one of his closest friends,loaned him the amount. Eo scrupulous was the young man about the payment of the debi that he got his life insured, and placed the policy in the creditor‘s hands. "If I live," he said, "I shall repay you; and if I dic, you will suffer no loss." ‘The debt was reâ€" paid soon aiter he graduated. He went to Williaims‘ College in the fall of 1854, and, as he had anticipated, passed the oxâ€" amination for the Juniof Class. Two years later he graduated, and bore off metâ€" aphysical honor. His classmates remeraber well his prodigious industry as a student, his physical activity in the college games, and his cordial, hearty, social ways. The man who stands before the country Belore he went to college, young Garficld | had been connectd with the Western sect | of "The Disciples," founded by Alesandér Canipbell,;and whose peculiar tenets wore, *"no creed to express beliefs," hospilality, | fraternity, and goodwill. To ;!stmgglingl college of this seect at Hiram, Partuge. County, Ohio, Garfield was called as an instructor, and after two years he became | Prosident. Jt has otten been said that he was at one tinie a miinister. ‘Tlus is not true. â€" The story bad a foundation,however, in the fact that he used to speak in the churches of the denomination. The Disâ€" ciples atthat time had no regular paid ; winistry. ‘They supported travelling elders, 1 but the congregation had no pastors, and ) were usually addrossed by some one among the members who had a patural talent for pulpit oratory. Garfeld‘s purpose was to be a lawyoer, and he had not swerved from it at the time he used to talk of religion aund a future life to the little congregations in the Disciples‘ meetinghouse in Northern Ohio. He studied law diligently all the while, and was an ardent reader of genearl General James A. Garfield. During his connection with the college he was married to Miss Lucretia Rudolph, the daughter of a farmer. The match was one of love,; and brought to the young man a mate of singular sweetness and congenialâ€" 1y of disposition, whose influence, example and companionship have done much to shape his after sucoess.

As a polemic and a politician there is no more prominent man in Ireland at the proâ€" sent writing than the Rev. Isare Nelson, member of Parliament for the Conuty of Mayo. One of the eccentricities of the late geveral eloction was the running of the reverend gentleman for Leitrim County in opposition to the Roman Catholie Bishop and priests of the county. The Rev. Isnae belongs to the Presbyterian Chuych, and is, or was, Pastor of the Donegal Strect Church in Belfast, During the clection for Jeiâ€" trim the Bishop and priests exerted themâ€" selves against hiim from the pulpits of their chureh»s and from public platforms, and they suscecded in defeating lim, though he wont on the extreme popular ticketâ€" Home Rnle, No Landlords, the Land for the people, and all the rest of it. Since then he hes heen elected, mnopposed, one of the mem.bers of Parliament for ‘the Caâ€" tholic Countyv of Mayo." _ He owed nothing to the in politics, and he did owe something to his congregnation in Belfast, ‘xpirituul needs he lind hbeen obliged to neâ€" glect in consequence of the pressure of leluctioneering work. Aceordingly, on last Sunday the revrerond member of Parlinâ€" ment slipped into his pulpit and let off a sermon of tinusual vigor. It is not usual in Ireland for reporters to attend in churâ€" ches to take notes of sermons. But there bappened to be a reporter in the Rev. Mr. Nelson‘s charch on this particular oceasion who took notes of the swinging sermon, which nest imorning appenared in his paper, much to the surprise and chagrin of the | preacher, who evidently didn‘t expect that | what he said would penetrate beyond the walls of his church. Ou the political platâ€" forms outside, the reverend Neison, â€"as m patriot, ‘pitched into‘ the laundlords with great power ; in the pulpit within his church, he ‘pitched into‘ the Pope with equal power. The preacher had several large ‘crows to pluck‘ with the Roman Caâ€" | tholie Bishops and priests who hnd opposedâ€" him in politics. Me discussed ‘apostolical succession,‘ which he said was a falschood: and a sham, and he told avecedotes from: his political port{olio to show what ignor> ant people the Catholic clergymen were. ‘Thes men,‘ said the Rev. Jsnac, (thinking no doubt, of his election campaign): are ounly trading on the ignorance of theâ€"ignoâ€" |rant, and lording.it in the name of religion® over the conscience of men,‘ ‘The clerical | party are using this strong sermon in an endeavor to upset tlie Rev.
