On .Sunday morning there was no performance and Mr. Moody hired the big tent for a gospel serviceA great mult.ilude variously estimated at from 10,000 to I'j.OOO, was present. It was ?i sight which one will not see more than about once in a life-time. Mr. McNeill and Mr. Moody each preached a shcrt sermon, and the singing was lively and rapturous. We do not believe there were tweuty disinterested people there. Attention was eager and sustained. The words of the. preachers fell upon many ears unaccustomed to the gospel message ( Some veterau circus people had not < heard a sermon for almost a life-time. Mr. Moody's text was the one upon ( which he so often ipreaches : "For the i to Son of man is cyme lo seek and to save ( re, that which was lost." After he had ng finished, a little boy with handsome j his face and form was brought to the plat- j i a form by an otHccr, who said he had i lie- found him wandering in the crowd, < evidently lost. Mr Moody took the | St. little feliow in his arms and, standing < as before the great throng, asked the people to look at the lost child. ''This ge boy has a father who is no doubt at Jb- this moment looking for him. with be anxious heart," said the preacher, ise "The father is more anxious to find his ler boy than the boy is to be found. It is ?d. just so with our Heavenly Father, er- He is seeking us to-day seeking us ier with unspeakable solicitude. For long as years He has been,following you, oh, he sinner; He is following you still. He he i? calling to you today." At this inis stant a man with blanched face and int excited eye was seen elbowing his waj' tig toward the platform. As he reached ier it the little boy saw him and, running w quickly over the platform, threw himud self into the father's outstretched ot. arms. The multitude witnessed the tfs, scene with breathless attention, and on tlieu broke out into a mighty cheer, i no "Thus,'' cried Mr. Moody, "will God J ?* ?- Sit -...1.. I receive you n you win umjr iuu u> >gs Him to-day. 'Tlie Son of man is come >ot to seek and to save that which was ;na lost." The impression made by the ce. incident was very great, and as the ys, people tiled out many eyes were filled to with tears. God providentially gave ep to the preacher a most vivid and >re effective object lesson with which to >w illustrate and enforce his message. nd ^ )ot " al- Slips of (he Toiiiiuc. ,le There is a queer and most embarrasen sing faculty which we all possess at sometime in our lives, of meauing s- one thing and saying another, 'b" When a rather dapper young man I was introduced to a very distinguished ,ul lady, he bowed low and said : t? 4,I tliink, madam, you have had the ng Dleasureof ineetiujr me before." Is* Such mistakes are very frequent on * *)e the platform of the amateur performa ance. A regular attendant of these 1 ie> places noted the following absurd mis- 1 Jre takes, some of which were either un- 2 'd- observed by the audience, or supposed 1 to to be the proper thing in the proper ? place. A charming young lady thus 1 j rendered a'climax in a celebrated poem : i "Go, your liver love9," said Croni- 1 j" well, "curfew shall not ring to-night." > t In another recitation the reader saitt, . "Clasped to her heart the throbbing , ? boy." Am orator made an unexpected r em>ct by thus reversing matters: "He , . jests at wounds who never felt a scar." . The pet of the family having been ( V duly instructed in his part, goes on , ' * the platform and begius boldly, ve "iwish| I had a little pat j j-Qr To dog him on the head." ne This is eoualed by a recent young ( se. Iiero who, with all the confidence in i he the world, approached the audience i nd and began : ' i ^ "UndPr the spreiuline blucksralth tree * til The Villuge chestnut stand." I k?

A catalogue of charms and graces is made by poetic lovers for their mistresses, and the fashion reporters are expert in this line for the maids and matrons who figure in society. One charm is not so often emphasized as it deserves to be, and that is the simple ami ever-winning charm of naturalness. It bears the stamp of honesty, and it is often associated with a sympathetic quality. At any rate, it is pleasantly human, and * captivates. Artificial people are oppressive even when they have a certain talent. They caunot conceal a distasteful self consciousness which exhibits itself when they enter and leave a room, in their choicely picked sentences, wli.ch have an inssncere flavor, and in short in every lineament, gesture and speech. Such persons try to be agreeable, and often wonder why there is always n fine barrier between them and those they wish to please. They rarely suppose that chronic affectation is their bane, and that even their really good qualities are marred by it. They live in in unreal world, of which they themselves are the center; and when they x>meout of it to mingle with people, lhey bring their hallucinations and unwholesome ideas with them, and Lhis leads to multitudinous counterfeit little roles, which, persevered in, would destroy every veracious instinct. They imitate the natural and unaffec:ed people, but do it in a theatrical A'ay, and the imitation bears a very Door resemblance to the genuine ar;icle. Such persons unhappily keep up hese poor tricks to an advanced age. rhey rarely reform. <E> "Finished mid Foldrcl I'p/' "There, that is finished and folded jp, and I am heartily glad!" said Jertha, as she took oil' her little thiin>le, and laid on the table a pretty due muslin dress, on which she had >een busy for several days.
