CHRIST IS ALL.
The followin verses which were read by Dr. Ed-
monds of the cited Presbyterian Church of Great
Brltlun, at the conclusion of his sermon at Calvary
church, Philadelphia. Mag Sid, are becoming quite
popular and Just y so. '1“ ey Interpret the real feel-
ngs of the contrlte heart.
I entered once a home of care,
For age and penury were there;
Yet. peace and Joy wilhnl;
I asked the lonely mother whence
Her helpless widowhood’s defence,
She told me Christ was all.
I stood beside a dying bed,
Where a sweet Infant droopcd his head
Waiting for Jesus’ cull. '
I marked his smile, ’twas sweet. as May;
And as his spirit passed away,
He whispered Christ was all.
I saw a martyr at the stake .
And not fierce flames his faith could shake,
Or death his soul appal;
I asked him whence such strength was given,
He looked triumphantly to Heaven
And answered Christ ls u‘l.
I saw the Gospel herald go
To Afrle’s sand and Greenland’s snow
To save from Satan’s thrall;
Nor hope, not life he counted dear;
Midst wants and perils owned no fear:
He felt that. Christ was all.
I dreamt that hory time had fled,
And eurthnnd sea gave up their dead,
And are dissolved this ball;
I saw the Church’s rausomed throng,
I heard the burden or their song,
’Twas, Christ Is all In all.
Then come to Jesus, come lo-duy,
Come, Father, Son and Spirit say,
The Bride repeats the call.
Come, He has blood for all your status,
Come, He has balm for all your pains,
Come, He is all In all.

since, feeling the need of a few days? ~ recre-
ation from business, I left Not-walk to join
a party from Pittsficld, 119.53., consmting of
Rev. Dr. Edward Strong and Gardner, T.
Barker, Esq. We went via Albany and
Suspension Bridge to TorontO. and odor a
stop there, proceeded by rail to Lake Simco,
thence by steamer to Ottawa where we join-
ed our guides, previously engaged (two
white men and two Indians, of the Chippe-
wa tribe,) laid in our store of provisions and
started on our way to the wilds of camp
life, in four Indian canoes. With us were
two deer bounds and all the requisites for
hunting and fishing. The first few days our
game was ducks and pigeons. Passing
through Luke Simco, we make a. carry of
some twenty miles to the south branch of
the Muskoka. river. (Indian name is Mus-
quohke,) upon whose waters we passed sev-
eral pleasant days in trout fishing; caught
all we needed for our par ty of seven, while
our guides were making the carries by the
Rapids, which occur every few miles
Wherever night overtakes us, we go on
shore, put up our tent on as level a piece of
ground as we can findtget a few boughs bf
the balsam to strew on the ground in the
place of a feather bed, a rubber cloth over
them, a blanket, a large piece of moss for a
pillow, a blanket for covering and by that
time supper is ready, consisting chiefly of
the fish and game taken through the day,
an hour or so for conversation, maturing
plans for the morrow, finding out from our
guides incidents of the locality, talks of oth-
er travels by the members of our party, and
we are ready for retiring for the night to our
prepared bed Where we sleep soundly after
the adventures of the day. Our guides have
a. tent near by to sleep in, where is also kept
our provisions; in front - they keep a large
fire burning all night to make it cheerful
and keep away wolves and bears. - Our dogs
are chained near by us. and our guns are
strapped to the tent pole by our heads.
Breakfast, from six to seven o’clock, accord-
ing to the amount of duties before us for the
day, after which, pack up and start along
until dinner time, when we land, make a
fire to cook with, cat, and proceed on our
way; thus it is each day, not staying in
camp in the same place over two or three
day, seldom but one. When we arrived at
the source of the river, we found it to be the
“Lake of Bays.” 2T0 give you some idea of
the size, the survey of Government put it
down as being two hundred and fifty miles
around the shores of the Lake in which are
many islands and bays. Upon one of the
islands is an old trading post of the Hudson
Bay 00; near by are several Indian graves,
one of which wasthe the daughter of an In-
dian chief named Yellow Head. The daugh-
ter died of consumption. The chief, who
died but a few years since had reached the
advanced age of one hundred and twenty
years and was buried by the side of his
daughter. On the main land near by is a
clearing of about two acres, on which is a
rude log cabin with some articles of house-
keeping, all going to decay, once the home
of another Indian chief, who died but a few
months since. Our Indian guides point out
all the places to, us with the histbry of
each.’ ' None of the Indians are residing
here now, the English Government having
given them a settlement at a. place called
Ramab, on Lake Simco. They havea good
stone church, and live by fishing, hunting,
and cultivating the ground ; they draw a
small pension annually.
Lake of Bays is abeautifui sheet of water,
All the islands and main 'land is densely
covered with large pines, spruce and hem-
lock trees, among which are a considerable
number of doors. I have succeeded inshoob
lug four of them; with what the rest of the
party have got we could start quite a reg
speetable butcher shop. We have a large
supply of venison which is fine eating. Af-
ter getting all our canoes could carry we
start down the river to again feast on brook
trout. One of our dogs being young, and
not posted up on the porcupine subject, at-
tacked one of them and got well filled with
its quills, which resemble a short quill with
a long needle attached. As soon-as the sharp
end is stuck into man or boast, the quill
parts from the porcupine, leaving a painful}
wound. The quill must be extracted at
once else it will keep working deeper into
the flesh. To avenge the torture of the dog,
we shot a number of porcupines. one Sun-
day, while encampcd at Lake of Boys, some
settlers from Trading Lake, requested the
Rev. Dr. Strong to come and preach for
them ; after consultation it was decided to
comply with the request. Upon our arriv-
al at the house appointed, we found it to be
a log cabin, with but one room scarcely high.-
enough to allow one to stand erect. ‘In this
cabin were two beds, a table and. a few
chairs. In the house lives a mnu,'wife and
seven children; upon a bed was the mother
quite ill, wbohad been so about two weeks,
with no medicine and no physician within
many miles. We converscd with the sick
woman, gave her and them such advice as
We trust will be a benefit to them all, after
which prayers were offered and a portion of
the Bible read and explained by Dr. Strong
to the audience assembled, numberiug‘some
thirty men, women and- children; after
which, nearly the whole number of them ac-
companied us about a mile to our canoes,
where we left them and returned to camp-
Following the Muskoka river until we came
to the Falls, one hundred and fifty feet high
we made a carry of about a mile, and were
soon on the Muskoka Lake where we had
fine sport trolling for black boss. I forgot
to mention that, in consequence of being so
heavily laden with venison that it hindered
our progress; we established a floating mar-
ket, selling venison by the quarter, and even
a whole carcass at once, whenever we came
to a settler. There being no opposition in
the business we put the price at five cents
per pound, which would be about six cents
of your money; thus‘ reducing our stock of
venison so that we could again venture on
a deer hunt, which was successful. After
carefully dressing the venison, and giving
away what fish we did not want, we left
Muskoka Lake and a bay of the same name,
Near by is Gruvenbusl Post Office, where
we all get our first letters from home, also
the latest war news; then we make a carry
of fourteen miles to this place, Severn River
where we are encamped :to stay over Sun-
day. Within sight is a small church, where
we learn in the morning is to be held ser-
vice by a Wesleyan minister, and in the of-
ternoon by a clergyman of the Church of
England. Monday morning we intend to
follow this river to Morrison and Sparrow
Lakes, spending a few days to try our luck
fishing for muskelunjeh, and one or two
more deer hunts, then to bid adieu to hunt-
ing and fishing, break camp, dispose of the
surplus stock of venison, of which we have
had several carcasses on hand, and return
to our respective, homes.
Before closing, perhaps I ought to state
that the two white guides accompanying us
word in a canoe by . themselves with one
load in their guns, when they saw a deer
swimming in the lake; after chasing him
some time, they shot at but missed him, and
having no more ammunition with them they
paddled up to him, and one of them caught
hold of his tall with one hand and beat his
brains out with a paddle, with the other
hand. This rook some time, during which
the deer was towing them about the lake,
plunging and kicking with fright and pain.
As two persons could not go to the bow of
the canoe without capsizing it, the other
could not assist—all he could do was to at-
tend to keeping the canoe from upsetting. I
would say that none of the rest of the party
witnessed it, but firmly be] eve it to be true,
although I am aware that a certain Mr.
Murray, of Adirondac fame, wrote that his
guide caught a deer by the tail while on
land. and that most hunters are inclined to
doubt it—nevertheless, I have ventured to
write the incident as the guide: described it.

The Reception at the President’s.
‘BY MARK 'rwnx.
After I had drifted into the White .House
with the flood tide of humanity that had
been washing steadily up the street for an
the door and the policeman within, and
man, who gave me a piece of brass with a
number on it, and said that that thing would
reproduce the property at any time during
the night. I doubted it, but I was on un-
known ground now and must be content to
take a good many chances.
the crowd and I would come to the Presi-
along till we passed a certain point, and
then we thinned out to double and single
file. It was a right gay scene, and a right
stirring and lively one; for the whole place
was brilliantly lighted, and all down the
great ball as far at one could see was a rest-
less and writhing multitude of people, the
women powdered, painted, jeweled, and
splendidly upholstered. and many of the
men gilded with the insignia of great naval,
military and ambassadorinl rank. It was
bewildering.
Our long line kept drifting along, and by
and by we came in sight of the President
and Mrs. Grant. They were standing up
shaking hands and trading civilities with
our processron. I grew somewhat at home
little by little, and then I began to heel satis-
fied and contented. I was getting to be per-
fectly alive with interest by the time it came
my turn to talk with the President. I took
him by the hand and looked him in the eye,
and said :
“W ell, I reckon I see you at last, General.
I have said as much as a thousand times,
out in Nevada, that if ever I went home to
the States I would just have the private sat-
isfaction of going and saying to you by word
of mouth, that I thought you was consider-
able of a soldier anyway. Now, you know,
out there we—-”
I turned round and said to the fellow be-
hind me:
“Now, look here, my good friend, how
the nation do you suppose I can talk with
any kind of satisfaction, with you crowding
11ers.”
He was a modest looklug creature. He
said:
“But you see the whole procession’s stop-
ped, and they’re crowding up on me.”
> I said:
suggest to the parties behind you to have
some respect for the place they are in and
not try to shove in on a private conversa-
tion. What the General and me are' talking
about ain’t the least interest to them.”
Then I resumed with the President:
“Well,weil, well. Now this is fine. This
is what I call something like. Gay ? Well
I should say so. And so this is what you
call a Presidential reception. I’m free to
say that it just lays over anything that ever
I saw out in the sage brush. I have been
to Governor Nye’s Injun receptions at Hon-
ey Lake and Carson City, many and many
a time—he that’s Senator Nye now—you
know him, of course. I never saw a man in
all my life that Jim Nye didn’t know—and
not only that, but he could tell him where he
knew him, and all about him, family inclu-
(led, even if it was forty years ago. Most
remarkable man, Jim Nye—remarkable.
He can tell a lie with that purity of accent,
and that grace of utterance, and that con-
vincing emotion—”
I turned again and said:
“My friend, your conduct surprises me. I
have come three thousand miles to have a
word with the President of the United States
upon subjects with which you are not even
remotely connected, and by the living gee-
whillikins I can’t proceed with any sr rt of
satisfaction on account of your cussed crowd
ing. Will you~just please to go a little slow
now, and not attract so much attention by
your strange conduct? If you had arty eyes
you could see how the bystanders are star-'
ing at you.”
He said:
“But I tell you, sir it’s the people behind.
They are just growling and surging and
shoving, and I wish I was in Jericho, I do.”
I said: '
“I wish you was, myself. You might
learn some delicacy of feeling in that an-
cient seat of civilization, maybe, Drat if
you dont need it.”
And then I resumed with the President:
“Yes, sir, I’ve been at receptions before,
plenty of them—old Nye's Injun receptions.
But they warn’t as starchy as this by con-
siderable. No great long strings of high-
fliers liks these galoots here, you know, but
old high-flavored Washoes and Pi-Utes,
each one of them as powerful as a rag facto-
ry on fire. Phcw I Those were halcyon
days. Yes, indeed, General, and madam,
many and muny’s the time out in the wilds
of Nevada, I’ve been—"
“Perhaps you had better discontinue your
remarks till another time, sir, as the crowd
behind you are growing somewhat impa-
tient,” the President said.
“Do you hear that ?” I said to the fellow
behind me. “I suppose you will take that
hint, anyhow. I tell you heis milder than
I would be. If I was President I would
you came crowding a gentleman this way,
that 1 was holding a private conversation
with."
And then I resumed with the President:
“I think that hint ofyours will start them
—I never saw people act so. It is really
about all I can do to hold my ground with
that mob shoving up behind. But don’t you
worry on my account, General—don’t give
yourself any uneasiness about me—I can
stand it as long as they can. I’ve been
through this kind of a mill before. Why,
as I was just saying to you,many and many
a time, out in the wilds of Nevada, I have
been at Governor Nyc’s Injun receptions—
and between you and me that old man was
a good deal of n Governor, take him all
round. I don't know what for a Senator-he
makes, though I think you’ll admit that. him
and Bill Stewart and Tom Fitch take a big-
ger average of brains into that Capitol up
yonder, by a hundred and fifly fold than any
other State in America, according to popu-
lation. Now that is so. Those three men
represent only twenty or twenty-five thous-
and people—bless you, the least little bit of
a ward in the city of New York casts two
votes to Nevada’s one—and yet these three
men haven’t their superiors in Congress for
straight-out, simon pure brains and ability.
And if you could just have been at one of
old Nya’s Injun receptions and seen those
know, but frowsy old bummcrs with noth-
ing in the world on in the summer time, but
an old battered plug hat and a pair of spec-
tacles—I tell you it w s a swell affair, was
one of Governor-I'lyt-‘s early da y receptions.
Many and many’s the time I’ve been to
them, and seen him stand up and beam and
smile on his children, as he called them in
his motherly way—beam on them by the
hour out of his splendid eyes, and facinate
them with his handsome face, and comfort
them with his persuasive tongue—seen him
stand up there and tell them anecdotes and
lies, and quote Watt’s hymns to them, until
he just took the war spirit all out of them—-
and grim chiefs that came two hundred
miles to tax the whites for whole' wagon
loads of blankets and things or make eter-
nal war if they didn’t get them, he sent ’em
away bewildered by his inspired meudacity,

“My friend, your conduct gricvcs me to

“I wish to the mischief you would. Where

said:
“Move along, please; you’re annoying the
President beyond all patience. You have
blocked the procession, and people behind
you are getting furious. Come,move along,

Rather than have trouble, I moved along.
So I had no time to do more than look back

The East River Bridge.
Rapid progress is being made with this
huge undertaking, and the construction
thus far has met with no obstacles. Such
gigantic undertakings, which require the
use of steam, submerged workmen, and
mammoth apparatus of every kind, do not
generally proceed rapidly, and yet smooth-
ly: but, owing to the careful preparations
of Mr. Roebling and the skillful manner in
which the intelligent workmen get along,
there have been as yet no impediments; A
huge mass of masonry; surmounted by cu-
gines, dcrricks, etc., adjoining the Fulton
ferry, prove that rapid strides are being
made. There.an forty-eight inches of‘ma-
sonry laid upon the caisson in two strata,
the stone, from Kingtson, being of inflexible
granil ' and closely crystalizcd,cut in blocks
of three feet long. These are hoisted, mov-
ed laterally, and placed in their proper posi-
tions by strongly braced derricks propelled
by steam power, being a simple but admira-
ble process, differing but little from the man
net of laying ordinary foundations. The
bottom of the caisson is now twenty-two feet
below high-water, and about twenty feet
more of an excavation will be required, ma-
king the eutire descent about forty-two feet,
to secure a safe foundation. In some places,
however, a modification of this depth will
be necessary to suit the character of the soil.
During the descent 3,600 cubic yards of soil
have been raised, the excavated. earth
and debris being borne to the surface by
large iron catch-basics, which operate as el-
evators. The men employed, being nearly
two hundred in number, under the supervis~
ion of Mr. C. C. Martin, are in two watches
daily, and show not the slightest deteriora-
tion, nor are they overpowered by noxious
vapors, six engines being used in pumping
air alone, together with five more used for
other purposes. The mason work will go
up, stratum upon stratum, as the caisson
goes down, until the center structure is com-
plete, and the chambers in the Interior will
be filled with concrete. The excavations ai
present are sand, gravel, clay and boulders,
“and the water-soaked soil at the bed of the
river. It is expected that at least two years
will be required to finish the pier at this
side. On the' New York side the ground
has already been purchased, the terminus
being at the foot of Roosevelt street, and it
is expected that within a month construc-
tion will begin on the pier at. that side.—

sat solitary in his little boarding-house
room, trying to realize it. _
”If the poor child hadn’t me," he said to
himself. “it could go and apply for admis-
sion to some institution. If I hadn’t. it, I
could—but Lord! that is not the idea. I
must decide what I am to do.”
Tom bad solemnly promised to care for
the new born baby of his only sister, who
had just (lied.
He tried to meditate. He had often be-
fore, during his life, made the same attempt
but had never to any extent succeeded. He
did not seem like one born to take things
into very serious consideration. But this
case seem to require it. Nogood joke came
to the rescue. Tom really in his twenty-two
years had never felt such an awful sense of
gloom. His natural hilarity could only sug-
gest to his mind the rather poor consolation
that he “had at least over night to consider
on the business.”
How Tom was interrupted by a knock on
the door—an occurrence unusual enough in
the little upper room where he had long
since ceased regarding even the bell pull as
a resort in any extremity, so completely
wits he accustomed to be let alone.
Before Tom could respond to the knock
it was followed by a cry of mingled en-
treaty and command, such as only hungry
babies know how to emit.
“I’ve fetched the poor little dear around,
sir I” remarked a woman whose nnlrvcllous
rotundity of person showed to fine advan-
tage as she waved her screaming parcel as
though it: were incense wherewith to urify
Tom’s bachelor room.
“Good Lord i” he exclaimed.
“You’d ought to git u. cow,” said nurse,
still brandishing her-charge. 'i‘hcre! there!
Its got wind this miuit, 1nixit:’ milk. Have
you found a nurse. sir? Add the baby
wants clothes.”
“It’s got on too many clothes now,” said
Tom. “I think that’s what’s ils crying
about—see how red and hot it is." ,
Poor inexperienced Tom ! he had ofi‘cnded
the woman—cast recklessly overboard his
only anchor !
Shedropped her shrieking charge upon
Tom’s bell, and started to wards the door.
“Very well, sir!" she said. solemnly, “I
see you know all about biIbII‘S—I may go 1”
“Oh I oh!” gasped Tom,“l)o not ! In the

from a light wagon in which he had driven
to the door of a pretty cottage.
“We will make one last effort by inquir-
ing here," he said to his landlady, who held
the baby.
“Withbis usual impetuosity he pushed
directly through into the little rear kitchen.
There. he forgot his errand, forgot every-
thing, except what he saw. A young girl,
plump, neat and rosy stood with round
arms band, before a table. She was assid-
uously occupied in caressing, with her
white hands, little lumps of dough into
shape. Then she placed them in rows in a.
big black pan. Fora moment she did not:
low, forgot his errand—forgot everything in
short, and began envying those lumps 0f
dough. He felt instinctively, that he, too,
posesscd a great capacity for being mould-
cd by some such hands as those.
Suddenly she turned. Such a dimpling
smile ! such arosy embarrassment! Tom,
great black-haired,jetty-eyed giant- that he
was, thought this little plump blonde an
angle. Thought! Why, hewas sure ofit.
Aftcra. while he came partially to his
senses and said :- ' .

“And that is me," said the may lips.

A good deal of astonishment can be put
into a pair of bright blue eyes without
spoiling them—and so there was. Fortu-

plenty of strawberries and cream for tea.

Real dispair is impressive. The woman
was mollified.

possibility of calculating when we shall be

Tom took all these remarks in a religious
point of view. From a person of Mrs. Sim-
mins’ robustness, they amazed him. He'
felt a vague fearlest, as he had mentally ex-'
pressed, there might be “a bee in the old
lady-’8 bonnet.”
“Oh ! cheer up! cheer up, Auntie,” he
said, “you look hale and hearty. You’ve
overtired yourself with my poor sister. If
you’ll stay and take charge of that little
thing for me, I’ll risk your getting a sum-

“Of course not," said Mrs. Primmins.
“Well! you're no account! Now let me
think."
“Do, in heaven’s name,” ejaculated Tom.
Mrs. Primmins placed her arm akimbo.
Tom fervently prayed for light on her
meditations. ‘
“I have it,” cried Mrs. Primmins, “Malvi-

“Malviny’s the very one I What a talent
you have for managing, auntie, dear.” ,
There was Tom, his very self! He had
hit on exactly the right compliment to pay
the old nurse. He was actually floating
ing the most pleasant thing to everybody.
Mrs. Primmins of all things desired the
reputation of a grand manoeuvcrcr, as it
was, ot‘course, the one of all others that she
did not deserve. >
“Yes," she cried, chuckling, “I can ’ man-
age. Let me alone! And first thing in the
morning, I’ll go there with you. Now,”
said she seizing her charge, who was begin-
ning to squirm, “now I’ll see what’s to be
got out of your landlady.”
Vinking violently with first one eye and
then the other, she started to go ; then, with
a. sudden solemnity, she reinserted her head
in the doorway :
“If I’m summoned,” she said, “11': above
all else. If I'm called, I must go, day or
night.”
“Certainly,” said Tom, much puzzled.
“but-you won’t be, Auntie !"
As the young man walked abroad to his
dinner, he felt impressed with an almost
mysterious awe of the old nurse.
“To think of living always with death
grinning one in the face like that,” be mut-
tered to himself.
In the night Tom’s dream of peace va‘ '
again dispelled.
Another knock 011 his door.
“ Am I under a ban ?" growled Tom ;
“what’s the matter now ‘3
“I’m called,” said the voice of Primaries,
“my summons has come I”
“Oh, the devil !" cried Tom, lost i to all
sense of the importance of conciliating the
nurse. “Go to bed! Hold on till morning,
won’t you. ‘2” .
In the morning, Tom, who happy fellow,
always slept soundest undt r a sense of de-
pression, did not. make his appearance until
9‘o’clock. He found that Mrs. Primmins
had aclually disappeared for parts un-
known. In the. arms of his hitherto stern
landlady he t'ound his charge nestling. A
new light—that of love—was beaming in
