A LA WFUL ROBBEBY. "Norice that it was a beautiful and | "lawful robbery of the palm tree that . lp rd n.:. ?... up Christ's triumph on the road to Jerusalem that Palm Sunday.

A KKW LEAVES FROM OUR BRANCHES. The process is going on every moment in all directions. What makes that father have such hard work fo find the hymn today? He puts on his spectacles and holds the book close np, and then holds it far off, and is not quite sure whether the oumber?rf- the hymn is 150 or 130, and the ringers with which he : turns the leaves are very clumsy.

Th"e*y were torn off ' two palm trees that stood at tho start of thoxoad. . The prayors, the Christian ex ample, the good advice, the hard work of my father and mother. Kow they toiled! Their fingers were knotted with hard work. Their foreheads were wrin kled with many' cares. Their backs stooped from carrying our burdens. . They long ago went into slumber, among their kindred and friends on the banks of the Rarita?, but the influences .-they threw in the way of Aeir children are yet green as leaves the moment they are plucked from a palm tree, and we feel 'them on our brow and under our feet and they will strew all the way until we lie down in the same slumber. Self sacrifice! What a thrilling word! Glad am I that our world has so many specimens of it. The' sailor boy on ship board was derided because he would not fight or gamble, and they railed him a coward, lint when a child fell over board and no one else was ready to help, the derided sailor leaped into the sea. and, though the waves wpre rough, the sailor swimming with one ann carried the child ou the.other ann till rescued md rescner were lifted .into safety, and the cry ?>f coward ceased and all huz zaed at the scene of daring and .self sacrifice. . Wben, recently, Captain Burton, the great author, died,'he left a scientific book in manuscript, winch he expected would.be his wife's fortune. He often told her >o. ile .;aid, '"This will make you independent ..nd affluent af^jj.1 But it was a book which, thov. with pure scientific design, she felt w?r?d do unmeasurable *;jfensagsr to public "inor?is. With the two large volumes, which had cost her husband the work <*f years, she sat down on the floor before the fire, and said to herself, "There is a fortune for me in this book, and although my husband wrote it with the right tao ?ive aSd scientific peoclemight be helped by it, to ihg -*ra.st L ?jority of people it would be^ffnr?ful, and I know it would _damag# the world." Then she took apart the manuscript sheet after Sheet and put it into the fire, until the last bra wns consumed. Bravo! She flung her livelihood, her home, her chief worldly resources under the best moral and re ligious interests of the world, now MUCH ARE WE WILLING TO GIVE ur? How much are we willing to sacrifice for others? Christ is .again on the march, not fron Bethpage to Jerusalem, but for the conquest o* the world. He wall sure ly take it, but who will furnish the palm branches for the triumphant way? Self sacrifice is tho word. There is more inoney.paid to destroy the world than to save it.' There are more buildings put up to rain the race than churches to evangelize it. There is more .'?ravel literature to blast men than go^ Litera ture to elevate them. Oh, for . power to descend njK>n us all like that which whelmed Charles G. Finney with mercy, when, kneeling in his la w office, and be fore hf. entered upon his apostolic career of evangelization, he said: '"The Holy Ghost descended on me in a manner that^eeined to go through me, body and soul, leonid feel tho impression ?ike a wave of electricity going through and through me. Indeed it seemed to come in waves and waves of liquid love. I: seemed" like the breath of God. lean recollect distinctly that it teemed to fan me like immense wings. I wept aloud with joy and loye. These waves caine over me and over me one after another, and. until, I recollect, I cried out; '! shall die if these waves continue to 'pa over nie.' I said, 'Lord, I cannot bea." any more/" And, when a gentle-man came into the office and said, "Mr. Fin ney, voa are in pain?" he replied, "No, but so happy that I cannot live." *My hearers, the time will come when ujion the whole church of God will de scend such an avalanche of blessing, and then the bringing of tho world to i j vi will be a matter of a few years, perhaps a few days or a few hours.

It is a common thing to see the Eng lishman say or write things which no American Would utter or put on record. Lord Ronal -Gower, representing one of the noblest of* English houses, finds no sh .ime whatever in telling in his pub lished diary how he used to write squibs in the newspapers, satirizing his hosts of the day before because they let thc smell of duiner come into the hall.

A Query for a New Tork Club. A paragraph appears-in ono of the daily papers under this heading: "Car negie Complimented-The University Club Entertains Him at a Banquet." Following this is an account of the ban quet. Mr. Carnegie was. in thc- opinion .of the-reporter, apparently the guest of honor. As he puts lt, "the members en tertained Andrew Carnegie and ex President White, of Cornell university." If the reporter thought as we do, the precedence should have^been thus, "Ex*; : -^resident White, of^or ?oil, and Mr' Andrew Carnegie." But why should the University club entertain Mr. Andrew Carnegie? He is opposed to university education, and says so very frankly. He wrote a series of letters to the Xew York Tribune on the folly of the higher education. He has of course a right to his opinion, but, holding such opinions, why should the University club do him honor?-San Francisco Argonaut. I)r. Morell Mackenzie'? Income. Tue amount of money earned by Dr. Morell Mackenzie during his thirty years of practice must have been very large.

Phila delphia Record. A Suggestion Xor City Physician-. The emergency which occurred re cently in a family living above Twenty third street and below Fifty-ninth street ghould serve as a .suggestion to physi cians of that district. Shortly after 11 < o'clock in the forenoon the wife and mother of the household referred to feb and sprained her ankle as she was ajxmt to enter her carriage in front of her resi dence. She was immediately assisted into the house and the coachman dis patched to the f "ily physician. He soon returned with the word that the doctor was out, and a round among the medical offices followed with*" the same result. Every physician in that neighborhood appeared to have the same office hours and not one could be reached, it was oveir an hour before the suffering woman got medical assistance, and the|? it was through her work in a certain hospital that one of th?jsnrgeons waa-dis- < patched to her relief.

It is in an open pastare, abotrt three-fourths of a. mile east from'^Mans fleld Station, perhaps 'fiftyr*oftV"froin the house of Mr. Green and not far from' the traveled road." A small brook' nins a short distance from the tree. The circumference- is twenty-three ?feet at four feet from the ground. It is heavily buttressed all around, and the trunk is apparently sound. Four largo branches have been sent out-tthe lowest, ten feet from the ground? measures sixteen feet four inches in circumference and ex tends toward the northeast. The cir cumference of the buttress*, or raider of their roots, exposed above, th?grouud is fifty-four feet. Some of the large and high branches have.been, broken, the result probably of severe snow or ice- storms, so that it is not i>erfectly symmetrical. The di ameter ff the spread of the branches from the northeast to the southwest is eighty-three feet, and from the north west to the southeast 100 feet. Mr. Starkweather estimates the height to be eighty feet. It is ? noble specimen of the American chestnut, which has with stood many years of winds and storms and promises to live many years-yet un less attacked by the woodman's ax.
