It is the reply rather than the stat< ment that makes the quarrel. There are few people more often i the wrong than those who cannot ei dure to be thought so. It is better to go to bed hungry somi times ihan it is to get up every mori ing head over heels in debt. More people are poor on account < bad management tban on account c extravagance. Two persons will not be friends Ion if they cannot forgive each other'slittl failings. ' The sunshine of life is made up o very little honors that are bright al the time. Do not let your sympathy evaporat in sentimental speeches, but set abou seeing what can be done. Every man must be governed by hi own conscience, but has no right t make his conscience a tyrant to con trol others. Do not expect too much fron others but forbear and forgive, as yoi desire forbearance and., forgivenes yourself. You cannot always tell by appeal ances who is the richest. Paul in hi prison was a much richer man thai Nero in his palace. 80 many of us are willing to do th things that are pleasant, but when w jome in sight of the real cross w turn back. The greatest ornament of an illus trous life is modesty and humility which go a great way in the chnracte of even the most exhalted princes. Perhaps to sutler 19 uotning eis than to love more deeply. Love am sorrow are the two conditions of profound life. V5? * Men do not become saints while i sleep. Meditation, repentance, prayei hungering, and thirsting after righl eousness, are some of the essentials i which a man must be exercised ii order to attain to this high stage c moral existence. To be thus exei cisedthey must be wide awake. RICHARD GANTT, Ir now prepared to d all work in his department in the bei manner and at. reasonable charges.

I 'e Extracts from Christian Neighbor, i~ Watch Jfiebt-Wnlch Di?y. Watch-Nigbt is still observed in ti some churches, mainly by the Metho* l" dists and Moravians. Usually tbe two or three last hours of the Old Year are employed in appropriate religious ex" ercises which are continued until and little after 12 o'clock at night. The passing away of the Old Year and the coming in of the New Year is thus ? watched. Such observance may be, e and often is, a time of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. f Without detracting any thing from II the benefits of Watcb-Nicrht it may be as well to observe Watch-Day, when I e cares aud toils, temptations and trou1 bles are to be met. Then it is that people need to watch and also to pray, 9 aud to do this every hour of the day h and every waking hour of the night. Take ye heed, watch aud pray : for a ye know not when the time is. u For the Son of man is as a man taks ing a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants,aud to every man his work, and command? ed the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore : for ye know not when the master of the house e e cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at e the cockcrowing, or in the morning : Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto r all, watch. e A Museum of War Relies. There is talk a by a few men of appropriating a part of the State Capitol to the establishment of a "War relic ipuseum," where flags and other articles of ini" terest maybe collected and sacredly preserved for future generations to u look upon and wonder that their ancestors could have been such barba.. rians. Who of the Christians quick and dead would delight to conduct the m Prince of Peace through the museum when he shall come to judge the world, ? bringing bis reward with him, "to y give every man according as his work it shall be." But what has warriors, war and war relics to do with Christianityjbut to antagonize? J Deaths. Dr. F. A. Sale (dentist) Columbia, died Dec. t- 24, 1893. ??

J In old England the Barons, as you j remember, thought it beneath them to 1? j do even such mental work as is reii quired in education, and so had serI vants to do both their reading and I " writing. When a servaut had written a (ieed, the baron, in place of signing i his name, dipped the inside of his hand in a plate of smut, and stamped ! rits picture on the document?the lines 1 of every man's hand being as different j from every other's, as his hand-writ-1 ing would have been?and then, turn- i ing his hand, he stamped his seal ring | into the hot wax. So originated the j term, "Witness my hand and seal." B Words of cheer are words of help, r Words of gloom are words of harm. There is a bright side aud a dark side P to every phase of life, and to every hour of time. If we speak of the bright side, we bring the brightness into prominence; if we speak of the dark side, we deepen its shadows. It is in our powe. to help or to hinder by 2 a word any and every person whom we are with. If we see a look of health or of hope in the face of an acquaintance whom we casually meet, and we tell him so, he goes on his way with J' new life in his veins.

Speakiug of ancient ships and shipbuilding, Prof, J. Harvey Biles said that, though Great Brittain and America had made such great strides in ship building, none of their wooden ships approach the dimensions of the Ark, which was 450 feet long, 75 feet broad, ana 4o teet deep, ne calculated that this was the size of this vessel from the Bible measurments. Taking the cubit to be 18 inches This he thought, was the correct meaurment. The largest wooden ship afloat now did not nearly approach the size of the Ark ; the vessel was the Shenandoah, and her dimensions were 299 feet by 49 feet broad and 29 feet deep. Even the Campania was much small* er than the Ark except in length, and the dimensions of the Ark, had only been exceeded in the case of the Great Eastern. In 1856 a prize was offered for the best model of a ship made by any one in the United Kingdom, and the models were on view at the Royal Institute. The prize was awarded to a model six times the beam to the length and ten times the depth to the length, these being the same proportions as those of the Ark?Scientific American. Learned Preaching. ? "Obadiah Old-school" relates the following incident in the Interior: "There was a country cnurcn near r-rincecou, jn. j., some fifty years ago, which was supplied from Sabbath to Sabbath by the licentiates in the Theological Seminary. One Sunday Dr. Archibald Alexander took the place of the student whose turn it was to preach. The country people did not know who be was, but they appreciated the difference between his sermon and those of the theological fledgelings. They said: 'That old man isn't much of a scholar. He don't use such big words as the youug preachers from the Seminary. But we like him, for we can understand all that he says, and he makes everthing so plain that we can easily remember it.'" ' Prendergrast, the murderer of Mayor Harrison of Chicago, has beeu convicted of murder aud condemed to death. But few stock yards -and packing houses are open in Chicago. Men fight for places to work. Mr. Gladstone was eighty four years of age December 29. An event happened a few days eince in Buffalo, New York. Heavy winds froru the lake drove the wateron shore, and this, combined with the floods fromseveral creek9 which flow tnrougn the city, submerged nearly four square miles of tbe city's territory. The damage done will be serious, as over 2,500 houses were located in the submerged district. Orangeburg, Dec. 28.?Orangeburg's pride is in ashes to night. At 9 o'clock to-night the main building of the Orangeburg graded school was discovered to be in flames, the act of an incendiary. The building was insured for $1,500 and was worth $2,500. Ithica. N. Y., Dec. 26.?The body of Miss Yeargin, who was drowned in Cayuga Lake, several week? rgo, was washed ashore last night near the depot at McKinney's Station ou the Auburn Branch of the Lehigh Valley Iioad. ?The latest statistics prove that more than two-thirds of the grown male population of the globe use tobacco in some one of the many forms in which It is taken. A really Christ-like man could no more keep religion out of bis buiness than he could keep air out of his lungs. As the body lives by breathing the air of heaven, so the spirit lives by ommuniou with God ; and that communion can only be enjoyed by one who liabbitually seeks to do the will of God in every act of life. How then can a man seperate his religion from his business or from his politics without cutting himself oft'from the source of bis spiritual life ??N. Y. Weekly Witness. " ? * ' A ncnuiKo "me mance mat is tagci iu aaonut a selfish motive for a good act is the blackest tiling in unregenerate humau nature. It is akin to that which ascribe'! Christ's miricle9 to the Devil," If there is anything which will i arouse the evil in the heart, it is reproof. He who manifests humility, ! love nnd gratitude when told of his faults has made large attainments in the Christian life. Gossip is a sort of smoke that comes from the dirty tobacco pipes of those 1 who diffuse it. It proves nothing but the bad taste of the smoker. There are some people who seem to delight to hug their misery and refuse such cheer as offered. Remember that valuable as is the gift of speech, silence is often more valuable. rORE. ? ??! *?:<??

A WMtprn nonfl* "" ?? * -? 'L1 ? .. ??w uuilUUIIUV0 iuai All a county fair in Iowa "a girl was ; voted the handsomest' lady in the ' ":) county, and that she feinted away' three tiruesiin succession when the joyful news was brought t<f her." Her .{ $? beauty must have been chiefly physical. Some years ago an English paper. speaking of the rivals of Mrs. Langtry, referred to the daughter of a celebrated citizen|a8;;'-the most beautiful woman in England," but added. 'She le, umortun&tely, an idiot." That was not the case with this Iowa girl, for she bad an estimate of the value of; the iutelligence; but how low must be her standard! "As a jewel of gold,"' says the Bible, "In a swine's snout, so . is a fair woman that is without discretion." Perhaps, when she grows older ? she will care leas for beauty and more for other qualities. If not, pitiable' will be her condition ! Beauty gone, and nothing to take its place Dut 'dis-' content ana envy of those who bloom after she has faded. This practice of declaring by vote who is the handsomest wohian or the most popular minister demans all concerned in it, and most so those who are voted for. Its tone is not above the ,4cake-walfes" in which some of the damsels of Ethionian descent, mmnote No refined woman can conseut to such a thing, and no minister, of genuine moral weight can look upon it with favor. ' c St. Louis Christian'Ad vocate. i A popular magazine has an article on the "JDeclineof the Senate," in which the point is made that the body of the Senate is, in reputation far below what it was between 1840 / and 1850. The writer strengthens his case by citing such names as those of Clay, Webster, Douglas, Calhoun, and Seward, and comparing them wuu woai are commonly understood to be the great names of the present day, those of Morrill, Sherman, Hoar, Morgan, Hawley and others. The conclusion he draws is very unfavorable to the men of the present, who, he says by inference, in no way Joompare with the Senate giants of a cen- i tury ago. But one poi.it is not emphasized. Both Senators and Representatives are supposed to be the people, and are the people now as they were then ? The conclusion is almost inevitable that if our representatives in both branches of Congress have deterioated, the ultimate cause is to be found in deterioration of fch? nannta whn r?r? send them to Washington. ~~ Wealyan Christian Advocate. We commend the following rale to al people, and especially professors of religion : "Never borrow where there is a chanse, however remote, that you will not be able to pay. Never lend what you are not prepared to give. Never guarantee, by going security for another, what you cannot without embarrasment fulfill if the other should fail." In this way hard feelings, IftWSIlitd ftnH nhitroh rniiKloo m?o Ka largely avoided. 'Oxe of the Difficulties.?The difficulties of tbe prayer meeting are numerous. The Outlook touohea on " one: "The increase reluctance with which men speak of their spiritual * experiences has long been noticed, and is no doubt responsible, in a measure, for the difficulties which beset a prayermeeting in recent times" Bishop Simpson is quoted as in the habit of saying for the comfort of the preacher who is wronged in the matter of his appointment: "Brother, if a wicked presiding elder eeils you into Egypt, go, and God will set you on the throne down there !" 0 I mm Working and Waiting.?The Sunday School Times states it well: "Waiting is one of the forms of divine discipline to which we find it hard to t>e accustomed. 'The mills of God urind slowly,' and we all would like to give the grindstones an accelerating shove. If we were allowed to do this, however, it could no longer be said that 'they grind exceeding fine.' The 'Vpostle says: 'Let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.7 But that 'due season' seems so slow in coming! Yet the best workers have to wait."
