J _ ~ True Manhood. It Is not always tho coat that tells, Nor the collar ynur ri iend may wear ; It Is not only the shine of his shoe. Nor the finished touch of his hair. It is not all in a silken hat, Nor the fitting neat of his gloves; It is not merely his cultured air, Nor the circle in which he moves. It is not his temper, his pride, nor his smile, JSor ret his worshipful meiu ; It is not even the name he bears In a world that is shallow and mean. Ah, no, after all 'tis the man himself, As be stands with his God alone, 'Tis the heart that beats beneath the coat. The life that points to the throne. The eye that cheers with its kindly glance. 'Tis the arm 'around a brother cast; The hind that points to a hope beyond, ^ 'Tia a lore that endures to the last. A Cnlinary Problem. We were busy one day in the kitchen, I deep in some cook-b<>ok lore, , And be perched up on the table t Driving a "coach-and-four." But when I had finished this sentence In a receipt I had found? 1 "Set on the stove and stir constantly," The driver looked around. And leaving bis play for a minute, He whispered in my ear? "How coula any on* 'set on the stove' And not 'stir constantly,' dear?'* I ORIGIN OF PEACE SOCIETIES. Principles and Purposes of Their _ Formation. ] Y 1 1< E. DARBY. 1 A Paper read at the Chicago Peace Congress, 1898.) "The finger of God in history," As Bunsen expresses it, the presence of a Divine agent active in human affairs and prompting and directing human thoughts and purposes, is singularly illustrated in the origin of the earliest Peace Societies. In no other way can the fact be adequately accounted for, that within a period of ten months, at the begiuning of the preseut century, four distinct organisations came into existence, in regious far distant from each other, in\ deed indifferent hemispheres, embody1 ing the same conceptions, aims, and purposes, without any communication with each other, and, so far as can be ascertaiued, wholly unconsiousof each others' existence, and without the knowledge that any other Peace Society had been contemplated, The modern Peace movement had birth as have the rivers of this great ? mu- nt uonuneiu. iu? imu anu uvn u> Divine suggestion fell, simultaneously, on both sides of the Atlautic, and condensed into distinct organisation and effort, into streams which are still fresh and yigorous and which, mingled with later-born streams of effort and influence, form the Universal Peace Congresses of to-day. It will be my purpose to trace briefly the rise and flow of these various streams. Two lines of Divine suggestion are distinctly traceable, at the beginning of the century, in England and America, which though very similar, in fact ? nnnti mhup aa tn hp Almost iden DU liac U?vu vfcuv* MW tical, were yet distinct, and wholly independent. The idea had its origination in the human side of things. It had also.its human embodiments and exponements, of course; and when once the sentiment had been awakened, the pressure of personal conviction and the need for concerted action did the rest. None the less was it divine in its inception and developemeut. The long European war, described by Lord Russell as 4*the most bloody hostilities that ever mangled the face of Europe," had directed the attention of thoughtful public men to the real nature of war and the attitude towards it of the Christian Churches. And the war of 1812-1814, between Americaand the Mother Country, quickened a similar sentiment on this .side the Atlantic, and brought the leading thinkers of both nations, themselves altogether unconscious of tbe fact, into full accord with each other. Dr. Chauning, and Dr. Noah Worcester in America, Dr. Chalmers, David Bogue and nrhprs in Great Britain, were advoca ting the same principles and purpose.-without any concert whatever, aud in total ignorance of each other and of the extent of that Peace sentiment springing up around them, which was shortly to crystallize into distinct and visible forms. This Divine origin of the movement is the more distinctly seeu as it is studied in detail, and tbe fact transpires, that those who were originating the movement in various districts of th sameland were ignorant of what each other were attempting, and fondly fancied that their own efforts were the first of the Bind. Thus, the twenty persons who organised the New York Peace Society, "did not know that any other Peace Society had been con ternplated,' ; and. barely three months later, the Ohio Peace Society was the flrst of the kind." So with the others. They obeyed the secret suggestion and prompting of God who moo holiinH them. The first distinct beginning of that condensation of sentiment and idea which was shortly to run in forms of action dates as early as the year 1804. In that yeara merchant of the city of Now York, a Presbyterian by ecclesiastical profession, baa his attention called to the question of Peace and War, and began to read up on the subject, avoiding all books of the Society of Friends against whom he was strongly prejudiced. After five years mature deliberation he gavethe results of his studies to the public in the form of a trace which he entitled, "The Mediator's Kingdom not of this world." The publication attracted sr.me attention and called forth a reply?the joint work of three literary men, one a clergyman?entitled, "The duty of a Christian in a trying situation." A rejoinder followed. The controversy began to excite public opinion. The. York merchant, imoelled bv the fervour of a new faith and of a strong conviction, laboured incessantly among his friends and acquaintances a few of whom at length opeuly avowed the pacific principles which he had taught. This was the actual beginning. As early as 1810, some friends of the new cause deliberated together on the expediency of forming a Peace Society, but the war with Great Biitain was so threatening that it was judged inexpedient then. That war took place, with what results is altogether outside this inquiry. Meanwhile the New York merchant, like the old Hebrew, consumed by the word of the Lord, which was as a "fire in his bones," would not let the matter rest. Again he wrote a treatise, entitled "War inconsistent with the Religion of Jeus Christ," which was published early in 1815. War having rvnn, oiiHoH in hoth continents, the friends of Peace resumed their deliberations, and in the August following, I the New York Peace Society was organised. This, in order of time, is the first Peace society in the ^ world, and it is worth noting that like the other Peace Societies of this period it embraced *'men of all sects, denominations, and parties." While this spirit was working in New York, "like the leaveii hid in the i ' v'-f. 7 V v . ./j"- - KM??KfaQ?M?W?W? meal," a kindred spirit was active iu Massachusetts. The course of the movement was thesame. Enquiry resulted iu the publshing of Dr, Noah Wocester's tract, entitled "A Solemn Review of the custom of War," on Christmas Day of 2S14. It was extensively read, carried conviction to the minds of its readers, and, on the 27th of December, 1815, had been formed the Ohio Peace Society, by some gentlemen who had read the "Solemn Review,"?the same who "supposed that their society was the first of the kind." How to Dcnl with a Qnnrrelsome Neighbor. In the summer of 1887, being at the house of an aged friend, he related an interesting illustration of the proverb, "A soft answer turneth away wrath." which happeued to himself years before. At that time xnimals of various kinds were allowed to run the roads unattended, and were often very troublesome. At the house of my friend, the lane or lawn leading to tiie public road was very wiue, auu iurnisbed a supply of grass whicb was tempting to the wandering cattle. He had aa unusually valuable dog, wbicb be bad trained to drive out any stray animals wbicb might enter tbe lane, This the dogiusually did very judiciously, and without injuring them. But one day, when the fences were down from some cause, it so happened that the oxen of a near neighbor trespassed, and when the dog as usual attempted to eject them, one resisted, and attacked the dog. This probably roused tne anger of the guardian of tbe premises, and he seized the ofl'endiug ox near the tip of the tail, and in the struggle bit ofl' a small piece. When his owner returned home towards eveningand learned what had taken place, he was much concerned : and next day called on the owner of the injured animal, who received him rather coldly. However, after a little general conversation, my friend 3poke of the accident, when his neighbor exclaimed in an excited manner, "I will kill that dog within a week." and repeated the same threat. He was a resolute man, who generally carried out whatever he had determined upon. My friend mildly reasoned with him and said the dog was a very valuable one, which he should be sorry to lose ; that the dog was not to blame, for he had trained him to do that vere thing ?keep stragglers away ; that, therefore the blame must rest on himself; and he queried with his neighbor whether he would kill him. "No." said the man, "I will kill you." Well, said my friend, I will make three propositions. I have in my barn-yard twenty or more head of cattle, fully as good as thiue which has been injured. Thou may drive thy animal to my yard, aud , take in exchange for it, any one of mine thou may select."No," was the i reply, "I won't do that." "Well, then, I'll make another proffiv t.hv own nrice on thy ox; and whatever thou tay'st it is worth, I will pay thee." "No, I won't do that." ''Then Iwill make a third proposition, say how much injury ihou thinks the dog has done to thy beast,?I will leave it altogether to thee to determine?and I will pay for the damage." The auger of the neighbor by thin time had abated ; he saw that it was one of those accidents which happen without any bad intention, and he refused to receive any compensation, and they parted in friendship. Thus an incident, which easily might have led to permanent alieuation and disturbance of the peace of the neighborhood, really tended to strengthen the bonds of friendship and good will.? Ch. Ar. and Mes. Peace. A Drnnknrd'i Brain. 8t. Louis Globe-Democrat. "I was preseut at an autopsy of a noted old'rounder'of my town a few weeks ago," said a resident of Troy, N* Y., recently, "and I was started and shocked at what I saw, lne dead man wa9 about sixty years of age and had been the town drunkard for forty years, The doctors had surmised that when they cut his his head open a pronounced smell of alcohol would issue from the skull. "I thought it only one of those grim jokes that ^Esculapians indulge in sometimes when they are carving a fellowman to mincemeat in the interest of their science. But I soon learned that it was no joke, for when the surgeon's taw had cut oft' the top of the man's skull the odor of thealcohol that filled the home room was strong enough to almost sicken one. Then one of the surgeons struck a match and neia n ciose 10 iue urum. nnmediately a blue flame enveloped the entire portion of the cerebral organ exposed, and the quivering flesh sizzled as if on a gridiron. "That experiment and disclosure set me to very serious thinking about the error of my way. I am not a temperance lecturer nor a prohibition politician, but I must most respectfully and flrmly decline your invitation to have something. I don't want my brain to float around in a sea of alcohoi, as did that of the poor old town drunkard at Troy. There is no telling how many other men's brains will re veal the same condition if an autopsy is held upon them." The Prencber'M Catechlnm. Have I preached ethics and theology, or Christ, the only "name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved?" Have I studied the Word of God as faithfully as I ought? Have I visited from house to house "iustructiuir. reDroviwr, exhorting," or have I been given to social pleasures and idle conversation? Have I spent as much time as I ought in private devotion ? Have I been kind and charitable in my estimation of my fellow-preachers? Have I preached to save souls or to make a reputation? Have I in my daily life and in my business transactions set an example before my people which they can safely follow ? Have I spoken evil of no one ? Have I told "every one under my care what I thought wrong in his conduct and temper, and that lovingly and plainly ?" | Have I kept my vows to my God and faitii witn my leiiow-niau : Recently a New Jersey farmer, while passing along the street in New York, heard the well known "neigh" of his good old horse, which had been stolen from his barn last wiuter, six months [having elapsed. The farmer turned, and there sure euough was the affectionate old animal, hitched to a butcher's wagon. The horse had recognized his master, land gave him the accustomed signal. The farmer recovered his property and the thief was arrested. Culture never made a saint. .... >' * Little Joseph. The Peacemaker 1 Eliza, Ann, and Joseph, two sisters c and a brother, lived in Boston. TheU sisters were passionate and selfish, and I j often quarreled. Joseph was au'?] affectionate, generous-hearted boy, g fond of play like most other boys, and ^ loved his sisters dearly. They were j both older than he was, and warmly j attached to him. The sisters often ? quarreled with each other, but never with him, for he never would quarrel , with them. One day I went to see them. We ( were together in the dining room, ] chatting pleasantly. Joseph had two ] of Peter Farley's books. He stood by me showing me the pictures in one of ( them. Eliza and Ann stood at a little distauce from us aud were look- , iug at the other book. 1 soon heard Ann in a fretful manner say : , 'I want to take it." "You shall not touch it," said Eliza. ( "I say I will," said Auu. "Get along !" Eliza you shall not touch it until I have done looking at , it." , "I say I will," said Ann, "you have looked at it all through before." { "I don't care if I have," said Eliza, , "you shall not have it." . "Give it up," screamed Ann, trying to snatch it away from her sister. "Stand off," cried Eliza, and at the same time struck her sister on the head with the book. Aon was full of anger, and struck Eliza in the face. All sisterly afFection and gentleness were now forgotten. They seemed full of hatred, and beat each other like deadly enemies. Joseph was grieved to see his sisters angry aud fighting, and he tried to mil uttontlnn un that. T should not notice it. But when they came to blows I could not avoid seeing them. What did Joseph now do? Did he take sides with either of his sisters, and urge them to fight? No the kind little brother rushed in between them regardless of himself, and cried out, "O, sisters do stop fighting and love each other." "Let Eliza give up the book, then," said Aun, strugling. "I will not," screamed Eliza, in great anger, aod at the same time pushed Joseph down, who had hold of her arm, to keep her from striking Ann. Joseph sprang up, and again tried to seperate them, and said ; "Dearsisters do stop fighting and love each other, and you may have both the books. At last they stopped fighting, and stood apart, regarding each other with a most angry, unsisterly scowl of defiance. I wish all children would view themselves iu a looking-glass wheu their faces become distorted with anger; I am shure it would help to cure them. Joseph came back lo me, covered his face with his hands, and wept. "I wish my dear sisters would not get angry and fight,'' said the gentle boy, his heart ready lo burst with grief. "Don't cry about it, Joseph," said I "perhaps they will not do so any more." "I would give them every thing I have," said he, "if they would only love each other, and not quarrel." "Can we not do something to reconcile them," I asked, and make them cheerful and happy in each other's love ?" "Do try to get them to love each other," said the noble boy. "See how cross they look at each other, and how unhappy they are. Do try and bring them together." "Ann, said f, ''will you not come to me.* She stood and looked sullen and wretched. "Dear Ann," I said, "do come to me; I want to speak with you." After a while she came and stood LooS/Ia mo oa oho ^ irl qa TnoonK mif liCOJUC ixiv } **o onv uiu ov/| v va^^/u j/uv bis arras round her and drew her close to him. "My dear girl," said I, "bow sad and sorrowful it looks to see two sisters losing all sisterly affectiou, and lighting. You look most unhappy." "Eliza would nol let me see tbe book, said she. "Whatof that," said I; "that does not excuse your anger and fighting. It surely does not make you feel any tr* ttrvhf T^r? unn think it Liap^i^l IV uguu JWM V UiUU IV does, Eliza?" Eliza was standing iaone corner of the room, looking very miserable. She did not reply. Do come here, dear Eliza," said I, "and tell me do you think it is a pleasant thing to see two sisters fighting?" She hesitated. Joseph, in his generous love, went to her, took her by the hand, and said, "Do come sister, and stand dost to Ann, and let us talk." Joseph drew her along till she came 1 near. "She struck me and hurt me," said 1 Eliza, by way of excuse. "I don't care, said Ann, "she would ( uot let me see the book." "O, dear sisters," exclained Joseph, do not speak and look so cross at each other." There stood the little peace-maker between his sisters, with an arm 1 around each, entreating them to be ' reconciled. 1 "Well said I, "whoever saw two sisters who eat and sleep together in each others'arujs, look as you do now? Do, Eliza, put your arms around Ann, 1 and kis-s her and be reconciled." She would not do it. ' ''Do kiss Aun," said Joseph. Eliza was stubborn. "Ann will you not kiss your sister ?" I asked. She looked at her, but hesitated. "Do kiss her, sister," said Joseph ; "do kiss Eliv.a ihis once." She refused. "Well. Joseph my dear boy," said I, "you will kiss Ann." He threw his arms about her neck. She struggled to get away, but he would not be repulsed. "Do be kind and loving to Eliza and me," said he. You may have both my books, if you will." I could not but turn away ana weep, to see the generous brothers efforts to j sooth and calm his angry sisters. ' Poor Ann ! she could not resist any ! longer the persevering affection of her 1 brother. Her heart was ready to break, 1 and she clasped her brother to her J bosom, exclaiming: "I will dear brother ; I will love her and you too, and never fight any j more." j Eliza could retain her anger no Ipu- j ger. She put her arms around them t both, and there they all were, weep- j iug for joy in each other's arms ! g "Now you know," said I, as I drew s the reconciled group to my bosom, j mingling my tears with theirs, "how j much hanpier we are when we are j lov iug anil kind to each other! How t * 1 ?1 J * in fr\ Ko mucli easier ami pieueuiuLei imo iu j gentle and tender in our intercourse B with one another." r There the children stood by xny side, their arms round one another, and we had a happy time together.

Heaven bless the dear generous boy ! A.nd heaven does blew3 him, for?,;jBlesjed are the peace-makers." All mankind are brothers and sisters. We have one Father in heaven who loves all his children. How shocking to see these brothers and sisters angry with one another and fighting, as is the case with chilchildren sometimes, and with nations when they engage in war. How horrible to see them urging one another on in the deadly conflict! Our Father calls to us and says, "My children live in peace ;" and yet men are often seen shouting, and clapping, and stimulating each other to mutual hatred and slaughter! fPhnn the nnrtv that kills the most and conquers I he other, exults. They fire cannon, ring bells, celebrate feasts, sing and dance, and walk in procession, to boast and glory in their deeds of blood and murder ! fiiothers and sisters stimulating one another to deed of blood ; and still more horrible, praying their common Father to help " them to butcher one another. A Girl's .Unselfish nes. , The Presbyterian. It was through the influence of a girl's unselfishness that Vassar College was founded. It has been said?and if true, it is a beautiful story?that a niece of Mr. Vassar was slowly dying, and that he loved her and spent much time in her sick room. As he paced up and down before her fading eyes, she did not talk to him about herself, but the substance of her conversation wax, "Uncle Matthew, when I am gone do something for women!" Over and over again the same sweet refraiu sounded in his ears: "Unclu Matthew, Uncle Matthew! do something for women. ' If she had wailed: "Why don't you do something to save me?" Vassar College, that has done so much for the women of the country, might never have existed. In our greatest suffering, even in mortal sickne.ss, it is still possible to remember other sufferers and other needs. No one can tell what may be the value of a last impression made by one who isabout to leave loving friends forever. As the conservatory is the sunny, fragrant bower of the rich home, so the sick-room can be the beloved retreat of the household. Even terrible pain may be divinely unselfish. Christ's last thought upon the cros9 was for other people. + The Bible. Young people are sometimes disposed to think and speak lightly of Bi ble reading. Une or ine most uieunSnished journalists of the time, barle9 A. Dana, in a recent address on journalism, in answer to the question, "What books ougbt a journalist to read ?" said : "There are some oooks that are absolutely indispensable to the kind of education that we are contemplating, and to the profession that we are considering; and of all these the indispensable, the rao?t useful, the one whose knowledge is the most effective, is the Bible. There is no book from which more valuable lessons can be learned. I am considering it now not as a religious book, but as a manual of utility, of professional preparation, and professional use for a journalist. There is perhaps no book whose style Is more suggestive and more instructive, from which you learn more directly that sublime simplicity which never exaggerates, which reconts the greatest event with solemnity, of course, but withoutsetimentality or affectatio n none which you open with such confl 1 ? -i???I?aW ttAtTAV uenceanu iay uuwu wun suuu wmence ; there is no book like the Bible. - ? m ? Dr. Jowett's Prcncblntc. (The Watebmao.) The late Dr. Jowett's sermons were not of a sort which conform to the evangelical idea of preaching. They were, as a rule, either essays on conduct, or obituary notices of greaVmeu. In the latter he occasionally bit upon a conceit which brought out admirably the specific trait he wished to present. It is recalled that in his sermou on I)ean Stanley, speaking of the Dean's lack of desire for preferment, he said : And even if it had rained miters from heaven, his head was of such a shape that not one would have been found to tit it."
