U. The Free and the Axe An old Upas Tree, whose baleful influ- ence had cursed the country for many years, one morning observed a fine, sharp-luoking Axe resting on the ground at its feet. **What are yu doing there ?” enquired the Tree. ‘‘Nuthing just at present,” replied he Axe, in a bantering tone. “I see you are labeled ‘public sentiment,’ resumed the Tree * Yee, that’s my name,’ said the Axe, “il ws thinking ot cutting you down,” it added, with fiae candor. “Oh, you were, hey ?’ replied the Tree, shaking with laughter. ‘Why, certainly, cut away. I’ve no objection. I’ve read a good many resolutions of yours to the eame effect, passed year after year at churck conven tions, alliance meetings, and so forth. By all means go on with your cutting!” Pre- sently a man was seen approaching in the distance. The tree, thinking it recognized in him an old party leader, waved its branches playfully toward him and said, ‘Come on, my eld and esteemed friend; I want you to have your usual little foolery with this confiding Axe.” But as the ap- proaching figure drew nearer, the Tree turned pale and trembled like an aspen. “Heaven help me, ‘tis a stranger,” it ex- claimed. ‘‘I’m afraid,” said the Axe, ‘‘your prayer goes ia the wrong direction. This is the party I've been waiting for. Aud now we will show you what an Axe can do in the hands of a party that means busivess.” A SvuccessruL Man's Apvice.—Geo, W, Childs, the successful and wealthy publisher of the Philadelphia Ledger, is one of the most honored business men in America Recently he has given this advice to young people: ‘‘Would you climb the ladder? It has just three rounds—Industry, Temperance, Frugal- ity. Besides these, 1 have had during my business career the followiag mottoes: ‘Be true;’ ‘Be kind; ‘Keep out of debt;’ ‘Do the best and leave the rest;’ ‘What can’t be cured must be endured;’ ‘The perfect man is one who has a clear commission, an honest pur- pose, a bright mind and a healthy body.’ I can’t bring too great stress on the matter of stiict temperance. Drinking beer, wine or spirits is a useless and dangerous habit. It does no good, and if it is persisted in it is al- most sure to lead to destruction and death. You should have courage enough to say no, if you are asked to drink. There is no safety in moderate drinking. The man who touches alcoholic drink at all isin danger: 1 cannot sum up my advice to young people better than to say the greatest pleasare in life comes from doing good to others. Dy gcod con- stantly, patiently and wisely, and you will never have cause to say that life was not worth living.” Gen. Herbert's Observations. COMPLAINS OF THE MILITIA’S POOR OUTFIT, AND ISSUES ORDERS RESPECTING IMPOSITION. The following pointed observations by Major Genera! Herbert, appear in the last Militia General Orders :— Commanding officers of permanent corps are held responsible that all ton com- missioned officers and men under their command are at all times in possession of a complete kit, and that all articles on) posing it are of the regulaciun pattern. The major-general has observed in the course of his inspection a very general neglect of efficient and practical kit in- spection. The object of such inspection ia to ascertain that the men are in possession | of the articles which it is considered nec- | essary for them to have for the sake of” cleanliness and health, and to see that) these articles are coustantly maintained in) such a state as to admit of the men taking’ the field at any time without the necessity | for fresh issues. He has further observed with regret an} absence of care in watching over the in- | terests of the men. Articles of inferior quality are provided for the men by con- tractors, to whom the men are then called | upon to psy extra in order to obtain a servicable article. Such transactions are! simply a fraud upon the soldier, from which | it is the duty of every officer to protect his | men. Commanding officers will bring to the’! notice of the maj r-general all cases in| which the price charged to soldiers for’ articles of clothing or necessaries eppears in exceesf the proper market value of, such articles, and the cases where articles, | received from contractors, or from militia stores fail to last the prescribed time.

An eastbound freight struck the wreck train and threw the caboose on the top of the next car, setting both on fire. | There were 14 men in the caboose. One’ jumped ff, five were hurt, three were burned beyond recognition and four were killed. One was burned up, not a sign of his remains being found.

Would the old Methodists have considered the fol lowing acevuat of & Wesleyan chapel and its services ; rogress or the reverse ? It is contribute’ to a recent number of the Yorkshire Pest by a correspondent : It is probable that nowhere throughout the country can a more complete and ela- borate presentation of the higher type of Wesleyan service be found than that which, Sunday by Sunday, embodies the external worship of those who attend the chapel of St. John’s, Manningham. To begin with, the church building lends itself readily to all that is reverent, worshipful, devout. Pure Gothic in style, with a spire of grace- ful progortions, a stranger would at once pronounce it to be an Anglican church, while, passing through the porch in the in- terior, mauy details there would lead him to the same conclusion. The chancel and chancel window, pictorially setting forth the Holy Supper and the Ascension, the organ chamber and choir stalls, the brazen eagle lectern, and the carved font, all sug- gest a sanctuary other than that which w supposed to accord with the prejudices of the Nonconfurmist, Neither would a more ex- tended scrutiny intertally do much to shake his previous conclusicn, though here and there some marked deviations from the or- dinary arrangements of Aaglican churches are forcefully apparent, giving the ubserver sometimes almost a rude shock.

Still, the harmonious blending of color, the pews of polished pitch pine, the lancet w nlows, the genial air of ecclesiastical elegance and fitness, go to make up just that fitness of things which is ail too rare in dissenting places of wor- ship. The word ‘ dissenting” should perhaps not be used, for the Wesleyans strenuously repudiate that word as applied to themselves. Dissenters, properly so called, they utterly renounce with all their works, and regard themselves rather as lawfully disobedient children of the Church of England.

WL DROWN followed by the minister in sober black, without either aurplice or gown to indicate his sacred office, The ser- | vice throughout was strictly liturgical) and choral, the Order of Morning Prayer being used in full, followed by the sermon with two or three of the Wesleyan hymns interspersed, and closed with the benedic- tion. It is difficult to speak too highly of the choral work from first to last. It was quite evident that not only was the organist « master of his instrument, plxying with power and reverent epirit, but that he has an accomplished choir, well under control, excellent in quality of voice and beau- tifully balanced. Throughout, in psalms and responses, the choristers admirably led the congregation, and they rendered Staiaer’s beautifal anthem, “What are these arrayed in white robes ?’” with great delicacy and effect. It might, per. haps, have been improved had the passage, “And he shall wipe away a)l tears from their eyes,” been taken as a solo, but it can scarcely said to have been matred by the six fresh young voices which rendered it so well. The only blemish in this part of the service lay in the fact that both preacher and congregation sat and listened to the anthem instead of standing, and thereby joining, though silently, - the worship of praise.—The Scottish Guar- ian.
