[\Ve are delighted to publish from th? pens of our consecrated Christian women, and present this essay which ; we nave abridged in order to find roo... for it in our columns-EDS.] j .Jesus has so many endearing epi- i theta of love, honor and praise that we sometimes lee! lost lo determine which one brings him nearest to ne, or which one most truly depicts Hi? character ; but. of all it. seems Jeeue j the Worker, ia most descriptive of j Hun, and makes Him dearest to us as a people who know what work is j and who can appreciate the weary, J toil-worn Jesus is we see him through bis entire life on earth. His whole ! Hf?s wits one ol" work. At twelve j years ol age we hear him in the tem- I . . i . i pie with t he wise men say, " Must I j not be about my Fat her's business ?" j Although we have co record of His ! (I lily life, for pome years after this ! time, we know He was at work with Joseph a.- a carpenter. After His baptism ic Jordan, by .lohn, His la bora were unceasing. Days and nights i were alike devoted to the perfecting j of His Father's plans. Prayer was j work with Him. After weary days of preaching and teaching, to the j multitudes, we see Him making His ! way to some mount, lo wrestle with His Father in prayer, not for an hour or two, but 'till dawn, and straight way He begins again to preach and teach, and if we lind Him reclining at the table, sittitig at the door-way, ; renting by the wayside, He is still nt j work, blessing little children, open ing the eyes of the blind, the ears of : the deaf, the lips of the dumb; eager [ to do, alike at the marriage feast, and at the closed tomb of Lazarus, will ing to raise the ?lead maid, and the | widow's only non, to heal the poor despised leper, and the rich centuri- ; on's pampered servant. Quick to, defend His Father's temple, and to ? cheer the trembling woman who had j bnt tenoned the hem of His garment. He lost r.oopportunity. We see Him ! bowed Beneath the heavy beam of the j cross, staggering on np the rocky slope of Calvary, and as He toils up- ? ward the cries of those He hae healed and blessed greet his ear, and he says to them : '.Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for your selves and your children." He works at His Father's feet; He intercedes for you and me, and his spirit to-day with the weary and laden. His hand will clasp ou lead us til rough the snares, surely as He did those true tin years ago. How few of us I the object of that work and still that; we, all sin-stained and vi Jesus' blood may wash our si white as snow. Listen to wh tel is us in our mountain homes : noise of a multitude iu the incur like as ot a great people, Hit yt banner upon the high mountain alt the voice unto them, t-ihak land, that they may go into the of the nobles." Can we find n ?ah whose faith could call down one ol' these mountain tops, th j that so quickly devoured the sa in the sight of Baal's priests ; mount Carmel ? Or no Abrahan i ing to sacrifice his only son up j altar as there was upon Mt. Mo ! Will Jesus not send his sm : brightness to rest upon one o ! rough mounts as upon Tabor? j gather our multitudes in the v* I or on our river banks, will he n j there and work with us? Will ! white dove not hover over the 1 ! of those bearing his spirit ? Yes i says, " I will be wit! you ah I even unto the end." Do the w( j feel th y have no part in this v ! that they have nothing to do and j they can do nothing? Then ! what he says to you : " Rise u j women that are at ease, hoar I voice ye careles? daughters, giv< unto my speech."

A FATHE?V?TC??RSES Upon a Fair Woman Who Led His Si to Raia- A Scene TJpou n Iiouipvfl Street. Only the other day, as a repot li ol the Commercial, strolling oi Sixth street, neared Broadway, most singular scene presented it se to him. An elderly gentleman t respectable appearance, wearing long gray beard with a carewor face was talking earnestly to a ham: some, fashionably-dressed womat She. however, seemed to be frying t avoid hi rn. WitrTout seeking lo di> cover the Ptibject of the con versal io the reporter came v.r-uv enough t hear the old gentleman using towan her the mose abusive language, ev*! pronouncing words which are.nev?! add teased to a lady in polite society though to this circo? both parties be longed, to judge rroni thpir appear ance. The man's manner snddeni?, became more excited, and he secme< to bo frenzied. Just then a pasrinr carriage came near them, and i ht lady hailed the driver, got inside th< vehicle, and waked to u? driven ur Broadway, seemingly much relieved at escaping from lier tormentor. The old gentleman's appearance was no! such as co indicate him aa a good sub ject for an interview and the re porter allowed him to turn aud walk back to Siith street without ques tioning bim and without an idea of what could have indnced bim to be so rude to a lady on the street. The sequel of this arrange hap pening came out yesterday, when the reporter became possessed ol a secret well worth relating. The reporter met a lady ac?)ninlance on Fourth etreet yesterday afternoon, whom he ioined for a stroll for a square o>" two. While halting on s corner tor a mo ment his eyes rested upon the ooeu pant of a carriage, which had like wise paused for n temporary block ade in the street ; and this occupant was the lady who had figured in the scene at Sixth aud Broad wa v, s lew days previous. The reporter, ns the j carriage moved on, mentioned to his ! companion what he had seexj. and beard, when he found that ?he waa acquainted with the history ot the Indy in the-carriage and of her ?in? gular persecutor. Only upon a soleuiu promise no1, to use ?he naines ot tue parties-{'or all are connected with the best society in the city-did she consent to make the secret known. ' You newspaper men," ?aid the reporter's companion, "are so un feeling in publishing people's private j history that I'm almost afraid to reveal the facts in this case. But it you do , print their names it will only add to j j this lady's continued annoyance." j Then she told the story. Ten or j ' twelve years ago a young lady and j ; young gentleman in Louisville society i j mei and became mutually interested. | I They had both ken the children ot ? wealthy patents, had enjoyed the j best, educational advantages and op portunities, and their prospective marriage was looked fer to he a happy event. The yoimg gentleman was already looked upon as a successful man of the world, and the lady of hi.", choice waa regarded as a fit companion for so worthy a husband, should they he married. She was fond of society and pleas ures, while he wa?, more ol a retiring disposition, and il was only through his attachment to the young lady that, he ever entered into any gayety. j A short, time before the proposed marriage the young lady's parents gave an elegant entertainment in honor ol' her birthday, and her affi anced lovei w.-s invited, lie mE?l ii; the dance at. her request, ?cd wan her escort to the supper room. Here vere spread choice viands, and wines flowed in abundance. A toast was proposed to the fair hostess'health The glasses were filled to their brims But the hostess' lover declined the one offered him. saying he never took wine. ".Inst this one glass," she pleaded, and in such a fascinating manner that to refuse was beyond his power. Having broken his habit of temperance, it was nol so difficult for him to be persuaded to drink the next toast offered, and so he went on until, at the close of the entertain ment h? had to be carried home helplessly intoxicated. From that evening dated the down fall of the once moral and cultured young man. He drank whenever asked _to, and wi'h such bad el tee ts Tn at in less than flKr He was a common drunkard. ^ie marriage engagement came to an end, aud his former betrothed became the bride ol another suitor. The son that was once th- pride ul' fond parents be c-uue a disgrace to theil' home and the sorrowing mother went to her grave in consequence. Tiie bereaved father cursed the fair temptress, who, he claimed,,had brought ruin and disgrace to his fam ily. This was yours ngc, but the oid man still lives, and with bowed head may often he peen upon the streets. And he never sees the lady in ques* I ?or: that he does not approach her and recall the circumstances that ha v.- caused so much pain and sor row. The life of the lady has been made more miserable than can be de sci ?bcd. She lus seldom ventured upon the street alone", and tn encime the reporter had witnessed a lew days before, his informant; said, was hut a repetition ol what had occurred now and then, loi years. The ruined sou still lives, butin a distant city, where he leads a dis graced life. There are those who say that ?he broken hearted father is in? s+ne, bul lhere are not many who know his secret.

The New York 21 ni--i Sayn: -'""The German carp, which, through the efforts of the United States Fish Commissioner, have beeu propagated and widely distributed over the country, have not yet, save under ex ceptional circumstances, entered into use as food, from the fact that the mature fish are being kept for pur* poses of reproduction.
