Many good people think that they ought to guard the gospel; but it is never sosafe as when it stands in its own native misty. It wantno cover ing from 'us.

i When we protect it with provisos, and guard: it with exceptions, ansl qualify it with observations, it. is like David in Saul's armor; it is hampered and hindered, and you may even hear it cry: cannot go with these." Spurgeon. I am because God has sent me to do a work that no other being could do but myself. Had, there not been room for me, God had not made me. Had I not been" needed in America, God had not placed me in America.

Bishop Simpson, Some few dangers we are aware knd we do what we can to provide against them; but for the greater portion our eyes are blinded, that we cannot see. We walk seemingly under his guidance, without whom not a sparrow falleth to the gronnd; and when we have had escapes that angelshave admired at, we come home and say, perhaps, that nothing has happened at least, nothing particular. Jean Ingelw.

Saloons, and all theaters and other places of amusement are brilliantly lighted. Every place of business that is open in. the evening takes pains at this point, but many churches are dark and gloomy. They can be passed in the evening without being seen, and it is actually dangerous to ascend or descend their steps. Many elegant churches are defective here.

A fine church in Washington Brooklyn, had no lights in front of it for the first ted years of its history, and being under shade trees was hardly perceptible to a passing traveler. We believe that in front of churcbea would visibly! increase the evening congregation. Tie Chris-tian Advocate. There is a peculiar charm anjd power in the lova of Jesus, as seen- in St. Matthew's gospel.

When he; himself speaks of love, as in the fourth gospel by the apostle whom he loved, our love is sthnmoned to attend our affections, so to are in waiting called especially into life; but when love shines through majesty, when we see the crook of the shepherd in the -vlafted right arm of power, we are southed' as by sweet sayings overhear(Iad tokens affection discovered unawares; we see not only the son of man loving his brethren, not only the son of God loving the world, bub our eyes seem to behold the king in his beauty, and we feel, in our weakness, the everlasting arms beneath us. Dean Alford. The devout Keble, ih one of his devotional poems, asks what a- man's rieods would do if heaven loaned them its light to see "the rude, bad thoughts that in oui bosoms might, wander at large, nor heed love's- gentle thrall. Answering bid own question, he assumes that the sad discosure would cau.se one's friends to shun nd leave one friendless to "die He then prays to tbe merciful one, whom he addreeses as "Thou who canst love us, though thou read us true." Iu this last line there is a most comforting thought to the believer, who often battled in his moments of prayer and meditation by the hosts of "rude, bad thoughts" which will persist in coming up, like troops of unbidden ghosts from the hidden depths of his heart to vex his souL How he hates': himself because of their obstinate persistence! And how ofton he is tempted to believe that his Lord turns from him in holy disgust. But not so.

His Lord is very pitiful, and seeing the struggles of his followers to drive away these rude troubles of his soul, he loves! him still. Bo of good cheer, therefore, tortured disciple! Think of the greatness of the love that clings to thee, despite those vain thoughts; for no sooner shall thy mind have fairly taken hold of his image than all thy vain thoughts will have vanished like morning mists before the risen sun.

Working counter to my iwn principle, I will create prejudice in the beginning, against my own story by asserting that every word of it is true, except the names. Every village has a fool, many of them, but always one particular fool or idiot, who wanders aimlessly around, and is made the butt and gibe of all, both great and small, especially of the boys. The village of Chance had its idiot, in the person of well, we will call him Ben Green. Ben was a handsome feliow, when his face was washed and he Chad clean clothes on.

was stal wart and was 22 years of ate. He had a father living, but that's all. He took no care of the poor fellow, save giving him food and a place to sleep, but otherwise he was allowed to go about as a mere harmless animal. Ihere was a rumor that when his mother died, and he was 10 years eld, she had left live thousand dollars, to be paid to him when he was eighteen; bat it was 1 mere rumor, and nobody was interest' to hnd ont about it Up to the age of twelve Ben as one of the smartest boys in the pis with all was ahead in school and ah" the boys in their thPe -in i a universal (another httie school, sw? 5 eara than Ben, and rt.

At the nd of this time he raised himself in his bed and said, "Was Mamie hurt?" Mamie, who stood beside him, soon convinced him of her, safety. though at first he did not know her, and also told him that the doctors said he would get well.

Then he was auiet, hut it waa soon discovered that poor Ben was an idiot, though physicaiiy souna ana nanasome. There was no use of ljis returning: to' He could learn nothing, and had forgotten what he had; known, though when he was permitted! to go he waa always gentle, ana would sit very quietly and listen with apparent in terest to all that transpired, especially to anything in which Mamie, was concerned. Ri fact, Mamie was everything to him sister, mother, and protectoit Mamie herself being motherless, though with a far different father from Ben. Mamie had assumed complete charge over Ben, for though his father had a housekeeper, the old woman troubled herself very little about the poor idiot, and was rather pleased to hare Mamie take him off her hands. Consequently it was Mamie's business to see that Ben had clean clothes at the proper time and his face and hands washed, or to make him little delicacies to eat or buy him trifles of dresa ftom her pocket-money for his adornment, so that Ben was always well fed and well dressed.

As the years sped on, Mamie grew up to be a beautiful and accomplished woman, and had many admirers, all of whom were gently repulsed, she having no hesitation in saying, in some cases, that she felt-it her duty to remain single and take care of poor Ben, who had, in saving her life, become helpless. Whatever they may have inwardly thought of this, nobody protested against it, not even her father, who was only too glad to keep Mamie with him and keep his home. As to Ben, he simply worshiped her. She was his divinity, and nightly, hen he repeated the prayers taught him in childhood, he added a rambling but fervent addenda for Mamie. "Yes," he would say, when the boys.

whom he still continued to play with, as boy, would try to tease him about Mamie, "I'm going to marry Mamie when I cet well. She says I shall, and Mamie knows: though I'm. afraid there's a law against boys marrying angels." i "You 11 let me come to your wedding, Ben!" said one of the boys. "Oh, yes! you shall all come, and oh, what a wedding we're going to have Why, the Queen of England is doing to be bridesmaid, and the President grooms man. JUamie nas written to mem They'll do anything for Mamie, of course; they know how good she is.

They often send me presents. She giveB me presents, too, and 1 more careful of what she gives me than I am of what they do. The poor rellow believed all he said to be true. Intact, Mamie herself bad, in vented many of these harmless tales to amuse him, even though she knew he would repeat them. It was a source of perpetual wonder to the villagers, when they noticea now completely uen was under the influence of Mamie.

With the boys he was rough as the boys were, and with those of grown people whom he did not like, or who had spoken unkindly to him, he would have nothing to do, refusing even to epeak to but with Mamie he was a gallant cava lier, proud and polite, and in public it would have taken close observation to have detecte4 anything about Ben but the most devoted admirer and attendant. But among the boys it was impossible to prevent the practical jokes of which Ben was made the victim. They were not wicked, but mischievous, and Ben, who ometimes became angry, rarely let his nger last more than a few minutes, and ever'cherished malice. One day the boys were gathered upon the railroad bridge spanning the Chance liver, and were challenging each other lump from the nearest shore arch, which was about thirty feet above the water. This most of them did.

That night Ben slept well, and the morning he said to Mamie, who was at his side: "Mamie, I feel as if I was well, though I do not know what has happened to me. I have a pain in my head, but I can think-." Then Mamie talked to him, and her heart throbbed with thankfuluess and delight. Yes, he could think and talk intelligently. The doctor was sent for, and at once pronounced Ben no longer an idiot. The shock of striking the water had cured him, and that mystery, the human brain, was once more in its proper A book was handed him, and he read easily, once in a while halt-iug over the task.

Pen and paper were brought, apd, for the first time in ten years, Ben signed his name and wrote a sentence. i In a week, recovered from the'inward bruise and strain; Ben was up and about, but not among the boyB. He had grown ten years older in a single day. For weeks, at times, he retained that dazed look which he used to have but that finally disappeared, and he was all himself. His memory about the ten years that he had been ghat he called sick was indistinct, altlrough all the prominent events came out boldly and vividly.

There was only one thing in which he did 'not alter, that was in his devotion to Mamie. He was with her constantly; he did not forget her devo tion to him, and he only looted forward now to the day when she Bbould become his wife. She had put the period at six months, which he accepted, as he did everything she said, and in the meantime he demanded from his father, toward whom he had no cause for affection, an accounting of his trust; and the $5,000, with interest for the twelve years, more than double the original amount, was paid him, though during that time there was not the slightest doubt that, the old man had made a small fortune off the original sum.

At the last regular meeting of the prin cipals of the Public Schools of Oakland, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted and subscribed and presented to Mr. J. C. Gilson, City Superintendent of Schools. kind words of personal regard, as well as of high appreciation of his official acts, were spoken by most of the principals.

Mr. Gilsou's response was in terms most appropriate. The action of the principals was to him quite a surprise. The meeting was every way enjoyable. Mr.

Gilson will retire from his official position carrying with him the warm re gard of tbe entire department teachers and Board. the Resolutions. Whebkas, Mr. J. C.

Gilson is about to retire irom the office of City Superinten dent of Schools, a position he haa held for four years, therefore be it lhat we, the I rincipals ot the various ocnoois ot the uity ot uakiand, having been associated with him during the whole period of his incumbency, recog nize Mr. Gilson as an ahle educator, a faithful and most conscientious public offi cer, a judicious ana nrm tnena ot the schools, and a courteous and affable gentle man. A ever, in our judgment, has be in his official capacity been actuated by other feelings or motives than those arising from a sincere desire to serve the best interests of the Oakland schools. He bas been dn tiring in his zeal to interest both teachers and pupils in their work, and the present high standing of our schools is largely due to his unceasing enorts in their bebait. Into whatever walk of life circumstances may direct him in future, we wish for him the.

same honorable name that be has so justly earned in the cause, of popular education, "i Rcnolve'J, That these resolutions be spread at large on the minutes of the Prin cipals' meetings, and that a copy be sent to the daily pre-s of Oakland for publica tion and an engrossed copy be presented to Mr. Gilson.

Carey, each signing for $10,000. The argument occupied the Court from A. M. to 5 P. M.

Messrs. Craig and High-ton argued in favor of the defendant being admitted to bail, and Messrs. Hart and Clark opposed it. In rendering his deci sion. Judge McFarland said that in' this case the question is whetheror not the proof is evident and the presumption strong that the defendant is guilty, or would probably be convicted of a apit.il offense that is an offence of which tbe punishment would be deatb.

Considering all the circum stances of the case as they appear, I am not prepared to say that the proof is evi dent and the presumtion clear that he is guilty of a capital offense. That is a mat ter for tbe jury to determine. How they should determine it, how they will deter mine it, is not for me to say, but, considering all the circumstances, I am not prepared to say that tbe evidence is such and the presumption is such that bail must be refused on account of this being a capital ctrense. it does not seem clear to me that a jury would convict the defendant of murder in tbe first degree, ar-d it is still less clear that in case of such a conviction the punishment would be capital. In my judg-ment, therefore, the defendant should be admitted to bail.

THE PREWETT CASE. Tbe Jury Uicliartred After Be- ing Locked 1'p JNineiy Itour. Hollister, March 19th.

This ballot HS taken before daylight Tuesday morning anl the situation remained unchanged throughout. lne eleven were in fav truiltv of murder in the second degree, but offered the dissenting juror to bring in a Comoro- mise verdict of manslaushter, which was refused.

Tf li I Vina lia wval by a San Francisco newspaper that If orter Bros, had captured, or the Fruit-Growers' Union, and that individual fruit-growers would be at the mertcy of this firm, but tbe fact seems to be thjat the Directors of the union have only engaged Porter Bros, as agents, on account 6f the facilities of that hrm tor distributiug tbe fruit. The contract allows Porter Bros, 10 per cent, commission on sales, tliey to pay all sub-commissions, and they are to find a market for all fruit shipped by tbe Union. There does not seem to be any thing in the arrangement that savors of collusion betweeu the Directors of the Union and Porter Bros. A Cruel Joke, March 19rh.
