God's angels took a little drop of dew Fresh fallen from the heaven's far-off blue, And a white violet, so pure and bright, Shedding its fragrance in tha morn's soft light, And a forget-me-not laid altogether gently out of sight Within the chalice of a lily white. With humbleness and grace they covered it, Made purity and sadness near to sit, And added pride to this and fears a few, One wish, but half a hope, and bright tears, too, Courage and sweetness in misfortune's smart, And out of this they moulded Woman's Heart. [Louisville Courier-Journal. Jtotg IcUct. ~ TRYING HER POWER! " "I cairhold him against the world!" The speaker was a tall girl with a dark face from which eyes full of witchery looked out. She had lips which were now slighty compressed, as she finished the sentence. "I would not be so sure, if I were you," was the response from the other person, who stood on the path which led to the road from the country house behind them. The two girls had strolled down the walk in the crisp winter sunlight, and they looked as unlike as two people could well be. Julia Stallo turned her head with a quick imperious movement, as she exclaimed: "Why would you not feel sure, since I am sure? Do you think I would give my promise to a man who did not adore me?" "But men may adore at one moment and be indifferent the next," returned Miss Branch, stopping to twist more closely about her head the blue fluffy mass of wool which protected her from the cold. "The man whom I love will not do so, " was the quick reply. Miss Branch who was four or five years older than the magnificent brunette beside her, looked at her curiously, in silence, for a time. . Miss Branch was small. One at first would have said she was very plain, but one might discover that her face possessed a wonderful power of expression; there might be a concentrated spark in her eyes that would possess force in whatever way she chose. After a pause, she said, quietly: "I would imagine it would he easy for a man to be faithful to a creature like you. Is Mr. North coming to-day ?" "Yes." "I think you make a great mistake in loving any man so much. Ah! what is that?" The exclamation was caused by the sound of something rushing through the shrubbery of evergreens at the right of where the two girls were standing. Julia Stallo shrieked a little, and shrank to one side, and at the same moment, a huge, dark-colored dog dashed out from the cedar hedge. His head was down, his mouth scattered foam, his eyes emitted sparks. While Julia, who had sprung away, had gone directly in the path of the infuriated animal, Miss Branch, who had remained I where she had been standing, was several yards from him. The brute was going on with that unswerving leap which is so terrible to see, and he had passed Miss Branch, who had not moved, toward Julia Stallo, who seemed petrified with terror in the spot where she stood. "For God's sake, jump out of the way !" cried Miss Branch, shrilly. "He will not turn!" If Julia heard her, she gave no sign ; she was incapable of moving. Miss Branch could not stand quietly. ThprA u-pis dash of nhvsical couraere in her which enabled her to spring forward, slipping off the crimson shawl from her shoulders as she did so, and then flaunting it full in the face of the wild eyed animal, who moved one side and wavered in confusion, while Julia Stallo sank down to the ground in a heap, and her white face was like the face of the dead, save for the protruding eyes of horror. The dog, baffled for the moment, and uncertain, now turned toward Miss Branch. Useless for her to try to run, she clasped her hands and stood still. Only for a breath of time, however. The sound of a footstep on the frozen gravel it might have been heard by the girls, if they could have heard anything. The footstep was that of some one running furiously. The figure of a man appeared. He had a'pistol in his hand, and though there was a terrible fear in his mind that he might not aim correctly, he could not hesitate. The flash, the report of the pistol, and the dog rolled over on his side, with a moan, his teeth set fast in the skirt of Miss Branch's dress. It was to Julia Stallo's side that the man sprang, hardly glancing at Miss Branch, who coolly drew a penknife from her pocket, and, stooping, carefully cut her dress away from the grip of the dying dog's teeth. "That, I suppose, is Mr. North," she said to herself, looking at him attentively, as he bent on one knee over Julia, whose senses .had come back to her sufficiently to enable her to recognize her lover. 44 Yes, evidently he loves her. I wish she had not been so sure of him. It is such a temptation to prove her words false." This was what the quiet-looking girl was thinking, as she again wrapped her shawl about her and walked slowly down the path. In a few moments she heard her name called, and pausing and looking back, she saw the two coming toward her. When they were a little nearer the man hurried forward, and, raising his hat, said, in a tone which was not quite steady : "I do not know what you will think of us. I confess I was, for the moment, capable of thinking only of Miss Stallo. You will forget that, I know. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to you?" "Indeed! Why?" asked Miss Branch. Although her words were abrupt, the voice in which she spoke them was far from being so. There was a silky softness in it that Julia Stallo had never heard before, and which made her look quickly at the girl who had spoken them, while a pain tjjat was almost like a knife thrust, suddenly went through her heart. Miss Branch had only glanced at Mr. North as she had replied, and he had not given any thought to her, so profoundly was he absorbed in the danger which had so recently threatened the woman he loved. When the two turned away again Miss Branch turned into another path and walkk ed rapidly toward the house. There was a flush on her cheek and a sparkle in her eyes, that gave her an aspect altogether different from that which she had worn an nour before. When she reached her own, room, she sat M own before the fire without removing her wraps. Looking into the burning coals with an intent gaze, her face gradually 1 changed, until Julia Stallo would hardly : have known it. The white hands were held tightly together until their beauty?and they were . very beautiful?was marred by the rude pressure. "What do I owe to any man among them ?" she asked at length, in a half whis- j per. "And as for Julia, she is a baby in her feelings, and will not suffer much." She rose and walked with a determined air across the room. At this moment some one knocked. She opened the door and Julia stood there. "May I come in ?" asked the girl. "I was just coming to discover if you were still frightened," responded Miss Branch, taking Julia's hand in her own, and looking with more than ordinary keenness into the girl's face. "Don't speak of it," cried the other with a shudder. "I shall never be able to see a dog again without a fright. Think what might have been if Luke had not come! He says he admires you. for your presence of mind, although you are?. But how I do chatter!" catching herself up with a blush. "lie aamires you so mucn." "Even though I am so plain," calmly remarked Miss Branch, no flush staining her cheek as she spoke words so difficult for a woman to accept. "But I did not mean to tell you that," j carelessly said Julia. Miss Branch laughed, not bitterly to the j ear in the least. "Oh, I don't mind it at all," she said | lightly. "I am plain, and I know other , people know it." In her heart the woman was saying: ' ! "He shall pay for those words." In the days that followed, it would have been a curious study, for one not vitally | interested, to have watched the change in Luke North's manner toward Miss Branch. Gradually, from a polite listening to her j he came to turn with an apparently irresistible inclination toward that part of the room where she happened to be. He stood near her chair; he looked at her if he spoke; he listened with a peculiarly ; vivid look upon his face whenever she made j any remark. This attention was not marked; on the contrary, it almost seemed as if he was ! desirous of concealing even from his own consciousness the attraction which Miss I Branch held for him, and which every day , he felt more and more powerfully. Had he ever thought her face unprepossessing? When Julia reminded him one day that he had said Miss Branch was plain, he uttered an exclamation of astonishment, but he made no reply. His betrothed, in a troubled tone, persisted in dwelling upon the subject. "I suppose she must be fascinating, is she not?" she asked wistfully. The man's face wore a strange smile. He averted his eyes, as he remarked, in a harsh voice: "TTncninnfincr t Ypq T think that must he the word by which to describe your friend? and she is your friend, is she not?" asking the question suddenly. Julia Stallo trembled a little, and turned pale. She seemed to struggle for a moment with herself, and then she said, faintly : 4'0h, yes! Of course she is my friend." The winter days ran on. Miss Branch had come to stay with her friend until the spring. How did it happen that Mr. North could now sometimes come to the house, and remain, perhaps, for a couple of hours before Julia would come into the room? He always scrupulously called for her the moment he came, but he appeared to forget that she had not come. On one of those days when Julia had not come, North had been strolling about the room in silence. Though he did not speak, his eyes turned again and again to the woman who sat so quietly on the sofa. There was a reckless resolve in his face, and that look was mingled with something which could not be interpreted, which any woman might do well to fear, even though she could not understand it. North came and leaned over the girl. His voice vibrated as he said : "Miss Branch!" She looked up?a light bewildering and enthralling, was in her eyes, and diffused in lovely glow over the hitherto unlovely face. "What would you say to me if I were to tell you that I love you ?" he asked quickly. There could be no mistaking the expression in her eyes; there could be but one reading of the curves about her mouth. The blinding loveliness that was in her gaze at that instant made the man's heart stand almost still. Did she real'y love him? "Need I answer?" she asked softly. "'Yes; answer?" imperatively. "Then I should say that I love you," was the low spoken reply. Something in the nmn's face made Miss Branch suddenly rise to her feet, while her face grew palid and the glow died from her eyes. "You are mocking me!" she cried in a smothered voice. "You do not really love me!" "lam thinking of a young man, my half brother, whom I loved more than brothers usually love," returned North, in a stern voice. "You may recall Morris Loring. Oh! I see you do! Y'ou killed him that you might be amused. Perhaps it was not manly of me to resolve to avenge him in some slight degree. But I did not think ! of so has# an action until 1 fancied you i wished to play with me. I do not love you i Miss Branch but I can understand how a man might be infatuated with you. It was beneath me to stoop to such a course as this. I don't ask you to forgive me." "No, no," said Miss Branch, her voice husky and strange. "Do not ask that, for I never could do so." "And why?" "Because I love you. At last I love. Do not speak to me. I tell you that for the first time in my life, I love. Do you think I am sufficiently punished for trying my ! power ? Do you pity me, Mr. North." She stood looking at him for an instant,! men turned and nurried irom tne room. North gazed blankly at the door which had closed behind her. He had not known how much he could despise himself and there was a curious pulsation in his heart which j made him unwilling to see Julia. It was a week before he returned to the | house. When Julia informed him of Miss | Branch's departure, he would not allow ! himself to manifest any interest. The few weeks that had passed had formed an episode in his life which he could not wish to 1 remember. 1ST A mosquito recently broke its probe off close to the hilt while attempting to 1 bore throgh a portrait of a bald-headed in-! dividual. ipscellaneouis grading. j THE PRESIDENT'S MARRIAGE. President Cleveland and Miss Frances Folsom were married in the President's Mansion in Washington City at 7.2o P. M., on Wednesday the 2nd instant. About half-past six o'clock the wedding guests began arriving, their carriages rolling up to the main door of the Mansion through the great iron gates on Pennsylvania avenue. The first arrival was Secretary Lamar at 6: 37. He was closely followed by Rev. Dr. Sunderland and wife, and during the next few minutes there came in quick succession Postmaster-General Vilas and wife, and Wilson S. Bissell, Secretary and Mrs. Whitney, and Secretary Manning and wife. The guests proceeded to the Blue room, where they were received by Miss Rose Cleveland. For a few moments the guests chatted gaily, but conversation quickly suspended at 7: 15 P. M., when the selected orchestra from the Marine Band stationed in the corridor struck up the familiar strains of the Wedding March from Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream, and all eyes turned to the doorway to catch the first glimpse of | the coming bride and groom. Starting; from the western corridor on the upper story, the President came slowly down the; western stair case with his bride leaning on his arm. They were unaccompanied, even | the bride's mother awaiting her with the I other guests. Passing through the central corridor the t bride and groom entered the Blue room' and took a position near its southern wall, which was completely hidden from sight by a mass of nodding palms, tropical grasses and endless variety of choice flowers. The crystal chandelier poured a flood ofj mellow radiance on the scene, and the col-; ors of massive banks of scarlet begonias and royal jacqueminot roses, mingled with the olive and silver tints of the frescoed walls and ceiling, gave a warm and glowing tone to the whole brilliant interior. The delicate ivory shades of the bride's wedding grown found an exquisite setting in the masses of crimson roses immediately be-j yond. The President was in full evening dress! j with turndown collar, white lawn necktie and white enameled studs. A hush fell on j the assemblage as Dr. Sunderland stepped j forward to his place fronting the wedding! couple with Reverend William Cleveland , (the President's brother) at his left hand, j In a distinct tone of voice, and with de-1 liberate utterance, the Doctor began the simple and beautiful wedding service as follows: Forasmuch as we are assembled to observe the holy rite of marriage it is needful that we should seek the blessing of the Great God our Father whose institution it is, and therefore I beseech you now to follow me with reverent hearts in prayer to Him. Almighty and everlasting God, father of our spirits, framer of our bodies, giver of every good and perfect gift; thou who eans't see the end from the beginning, who knowest what is best for us, Thy children, and has appointed the holy rite of marriage to be sacredly observed throughout all generaA: 1 W.K tnkn/. rpu., uuus?rfguru nuw \>u ncouctn a net:, aiij servant our Chief Magistrate and endow him plenteously with thy grace and fill him with wisdom to walk in Thy ordinance, j Be very nigh to him in the liddst of the | many cares and grave responsilities. Day j by day may Thy law direct him and thy i strength uphold him, and be Thou forever his sun and shield. . And be graciously pleased to look down upon this Thy daughter, even as Thou did'st favor the chosen Kebecea, and the many noble women that have adorned the world. May she indeed be a precious boon of good to her husband, to cheer and help him continually?a woman gi/ted with the beauty of the Lord and shedding sweet influence of Christian life upon the nation in whose sight she is to dwell. Wilt Thou approve what we, Thy servants, come to do in Thy name, by Thine authority and under the laws of the land in which we live, and graciously assist this j man and this woman, who are here to be I united in the bonds of holy wedlock, according to the institution of Thy words. Mercifully be pleased, Almighty God, to ! vouchsafe to each of them Thy grace that1 they may well and truly weigh the unfail- j ing vows which they are now about to make-to each other in the presence of this' company and before Thee?and that they j may be enabled hereafter at all times so to i live together as to rejoice in the solemnization of this union with joy unspeakable and j full of glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. | Amen. Addressing the company, he said: Marriage is nonorame among an men in that man shall leave his father ancl mother and cleave unto his wife, and the twain shall be one flesh. It was constituted by our Creator in the first Paradise. It was confessed by patriarch and priest, prophet and apostle. It was coufirmed by teaching and adorned with the,presence of the Redeemer, and has been honored by the faithful keeping of all good men and women since the world began. It is not, therefore, to be undertaken lightly or unadvisedly, but soberly, discreetly and in fear of God. Into this holy estate this man and this woman come now to enter. If any can show just cause why they may not be lawfully united in marriage let him now speak or else hereafter! forever hold his peace. To the bride and groom he said : "If you desire to be united in marriage,! you will signify the same by joining your j right hands." The groom and bride joined hands. "Grover, do you take this woman whom j you hold by the hand, to be your lawful and j wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of wedlock? Do you promise to love her, cherish, comfort and keep her in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, and forsaking all oth ers keep you only unto her so long as you both shall live?" The groom (firmly). "I do." I)r Sutherland?"Frances, do you take this man whom you hold by the hand, to be your lawful wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance, in the holy estate of wedlock; Do you promise to love him, honor comfort and keep him, in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, and forsaking all others, keep you only unto him so long as you both shall live?" The bride (in a low, but clear voice) "I do." Dr. Sutherland?"In token of the same let the wedding ring be passed." (The groom placed the ring on the bride's finger.) Dr. Sutherland?(Solemnlv)?"Forasmuch as Grover and Fraces have nere agreed and covenanted to live together after God's ordinanceln the holy estate of wedlock and have confirmed the same by giving and taking the wedding ring?now, therefore, in the presence of thiscompany, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, I pronounce and declare that they are husband and wife, and what God hath joined together let no man put assunder." , Rev. Mr. Cleveland then pronounced the following benediction: "God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, the Holy Ghost, bless, preserve and keep you. The Lord mercifully fill you with all temporal and all spiritual blessings, and grant that you may so live together in the world, that in the world to come you may have life everlasting. Amen." At the conclusion of the ceremony Mrs. Folsom, showing traces of deep emotion, was the first to tender her congratulations to the newly married pair. She was followed by Miss Cleveland, lie v. Mr. Cleveland and other relatives, in turn. While the congratulations were in progress the band, under the leadership of Prof. Sousa, performed the Bridal Chorus and March from Lohengrin, and to thus music the President and his wife led the way into the stately East ltoom. The adornments of this noble hall were in keeping with its majestic proportions, and its ample space and brilliant illumination afforded opportunity for a fitting display of the ladies' toilets. The bride wore an enchanting wedding dress of ivory satin, simply garnished, high corsage, with India muslin crossed in Grecian folds and carried in exquisite falls of simplicity over the petticoat. The orange blossom garniture commencing o" the veil in a superb coronet is continued throughout the costume with artistic skill. Her veil of tulle, about five yards in length, completely enveloped her, falling to the edge of the petticoat in front and extending the length of her full court train. She carried no flowers and wore no jewelry except an engagement ring with a sapphire and two brilliant diamonds. There was no formal order observed in the supper room, but the collation was served and the guests sat at small tables or slowly promenaded the room as they discussed the menu and chatted over the event. Elegantly designed souvenirs of satin boxes, containing dainty slices of bridal cake, and each one bearing a hand-painted monogram "C. F.," were received with great admiration. While the orchestra was playing one ofits happiest selections and theguestswere gathered about the tables the bride quietly slipped away to her room and changed her wedding dress for a heavy gray silk traveling dress. She then returned to her company and was soon afterward joined by the President, who had, in the meantime, changed his dress suit for a traveling cos'tume. This was about 8.:i(), and the Presi dent and his bride said a hasty "good-bye" to their friends and left the house through the private exit from the rod room into the south ground. A close carriage awaited them, and as they entered and the horses started off a shower of rice was thrown on the carriage and their friends waved them a final "God-speed" from the rear porch. The carriage passed out of the grounds by an unexpected and almost unused route, and by this means the bridal couple avoided the crowd gathered near she west entrance of the grounds. His carriage was driven direct to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad station, where a special train was in waiting to take the President and his bride to Deer Park. They were escorted through the station and into the car provided for them without attracting attention and at (J p. in. the train started off to its destination. The President and his bride are unaccompanied on his journey. It was their intention to remain at Deer Park about a week. Soon after the bridal couple's departure the guests began to leave, and by 10 o'clock all had gone. Other weddings have occurred at the White House, eight in all, bu^never before the present has the highest dignitary in the land bowed his head within its historic walls to receive the blessings of the church on his union in the holy bonds of matrimony. From the very dawn of the wedding * * ? - i - 1 ~ 1! i.,. iU/t day me my seemeu iu uu uuvu iu mc approaching event. Little knots of idlers talked it over on the sidewalks in front of the hotels. Sedate matrons gossiped as they passed along the streets and bevies of laughing girls chatted and speculated about the j coming momentous ceremony. If there be truth in the ancient adage, a happy bride will reign in the White House, for though the day opened with a gray, cheerless sky, with shadows resting on the earth, yet as it grew older the elements seemed to relent, and little by little the sun forced his rays through the unwilling clouds until his broad beams fell in generous abundance on the soft green sward of the trim Park en-i compasing the White House, bringing out wjji' bt '^X j in high relief the simple yet stately white | columns of the time-honored home of the j Presidents, crystalizing in prismatic hues] the sparkling spray of the fountains and : cresting with gold the foliage of the grand old trees. A FATAL MOTTO. 1 Not long since a young man who was 1 inquiring into the nature of an employ- * ment offered him, asked: "What is the ' least time in which I can learn enough * about it to get along?" This question is ; suggestive, because it shows a tendency to 1 hasten to secure rewards without the proper * amount of labor. Here is a young man f with all his active life before him. He ' could afford to take time to acquire the j details of a business, but he preferred to get ' just enough knowledge of it to enable him to perform the duties required of him so ( that he could hold the position, and no c . mnro Tn him anvthine- more than the ^ " " ? I barest knowledge or skill which would insure him against discharge was lost. He was in a hurry to get into a position where he could get some compensation, but he had no desire to be worthy of the hire he sought, and no ambition to be considered a I thorough workman. It never occurred to i him that something is due to the craft I which he proposed to join, and to the men j who paid for his services. On the contrary, | he was counting on giving the poorest and ! most unskilled service which would be j accepted for the wages he coveted. His aim was to give the least lor tne most, ana if he could have secured wages for no service whatever, he would have done so, even if such a course involved questionable action. This is not an exceptional case. Every community has such young men, and such men who have been young. That there are such is due in part to a haste to i get into employment, and partly to a desire . to get along with as little effort as possible. I To this very general sentiment can be at- , tributed the large number of inefficient men ' I ? who crowd every branch of human industry. Poor mechanics, shiftless and dishonest salesmen?in short, all sorts of inefficiency and lack of purpose in men in every walk ! of life. It is this feeling which fills com! munities with shirkers, and eventually with : all kinds of men who lie in wait to seize the ! earnings of other men. It scarcely need be said that the men who ! thus enter employments of a community ; are a hindrance and a check upon pros| perity?that slack, listless, and unskilled j labor is the bane of succcessful industry. ! Put great as the inconvenience and loss ! which this, spirit of inefficiency and shirk' ing brings to others, it is small compared to ; that suffered by the persons who adopt the do-as-little-as-possible policy. The young man who acts on that principle never succeeds. Ilis own unfaithfulness and dishonesty bind upon him a burden with which he j cannot rise. Other men are promoted, but ' he keeps the place where he began. He is j never esteemed in his calling, because he j is no credit to it, and because he has no pride in it, and no ambition to succeed in < | serious effort.? Boston Journal. < Industrial Education.?Experience . has shown that manual work is not distaste- , fill to schoolboys, hut that, on the contra- ( ry, they like it, and soon begin to take pride in their acquired skill of hand, and | that such studies help rather than retard mental studies, particularly if they are purj sued under the direction of intelligent < ' teachers, able to make use of the relations * j always existing between the book studies , ; and the bench work. Experience has also . j shown a strong tendency on the part of | j teachers to attach importance to theoretical < j studies at the expense of shop work, thus , making the industrial schools engineering < colleges rather than shops for the training . of workmen. This tendency needs to be I counteracted. , The advocates of these schools do not t think, as some people suppose-that boys can be made skilled mechanics in them. Be- , fore a boy or young man becomes a master , workman in any trade he must have an r amount of shop practice that no school can J provide. But it can prepare the boys to become good mechanics, with comparative- < ly little practice in the shops; it can inspire * them with respect and love for mechanical work, can instruct them in the foundation . principle of the constructive arts?draw- c ing?and can train their eyes to see things j J and their hands to promptly and skillfully j obey the will. This kind of education is j I all perhaps that a school can accomplish, j but it is sufficient to give the boy who receivesita good start in Win.?Philadelphia ^ Ledqer. 1 Would Christian Charity Have r Saved IIer??The New York San printed, e a few weeks ago, an account of a young girl I who had been abandoned by her mother, t and whose father was unable to support her, 1 becoming a regular and apparently serious- s : ly interested attendant at aseriesof revival t | meetings which were being held in Milford, Pennsylvania, and who received one day a o note signed "Ladies of the Church," telling r her that her presence at the meetings was t not desired unless she could come clad in t better clothing and have a more present- t< able appearance. As that was impossible, C the unfortunate girl, whose nameisTabitha ti Weeks, ceased going to church, and finding a no one in the place who seemed willing to give hpr a helping hand, she drifted from a place to place, and a few days ago came to e Port Jervis. Here she stole some jewelry ti from a house, and was arrested. Last ri Thursday she was sent to the Penitentiary h for four months. g For the Yorkville Enquirer. EVOLUTION. 1 WOMAN'S VIEWS OX THIS PERPLEXING OUESTIOX. Ever since the publication of l)r. Wood ow's "Address" on evolution I have been eading on the subject in our Church papers, ind I cannot say that I have received much ight on it from either side; but I met with ! i remark in a Methodist paper last summer ;hat struck me, and I have worked out the dea so as to reconcile me to what is called ivolution; and as you may have some tmong your readers as simple-minded as nyself, I have thought for some time that [ would write it out, and send it to you in lope you would publish it for their benefit, rhe idea was simply this: "that man was )f a three fold nature" instead of simply insisting of soul and body. The text given vas I Thess., 5.: 23: "I pray God your ,vhole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of the Lord resus." Job says: "There is a Spirit in nan." I thought then that is one way in vhich man is made in the image of God. Fie is of a three fold nature. Then that Jod prepared a body for man, or created me, whether of organic dust or inorganic, made no difference, but it was an animal )ody, requiring to eat, drink and sleep to ?xist, but the animals have intelligence; ind religious men so far as they are honest, dso, having affections, instinct, they comnunicate with each other in a way that is emarkable. "The ox knoweth his owner ind the ass his master's crib." This is call;d according to the division I have spoken jf, soul. Into that animal body, God breathed the 'breath of life" and man became an immoral spirit. Now this spirit made him dif'erent from his ancestors; (whether frogs >r apes, would ma#ke no difference that I an see) the breath of God made him to differ. As to our bodies we are animals ^ et. Ecclesiastes says a man hath no preeminence above a beast, yet many object to being classed with them. Man is said to l>e an intelligent animal, by Webster. The following, from the pen of "Gail Hamilton," a writer of my own sex, is appended as giving the views of another woman on this subject: "There is, and there can be, no conflict between scientific truth and religious truth. Scientific men, so far as they are honest, ire in pursuit <>t one unu tne same object. fV.ll controversy, all apparent contradiction springs from the ignorance of the persons who are engaged in it. From a few facts that come within its ken, the church lonstructs a system of theology, and from ts few facts the world constructs a system if science. Both, by reason of the limited knowledge of the constructors must be very Jefective, and from these defects it follows that the two systems clash?inevitably dash. But between the Divine plan of theilogy and the Divine frame-work of science is no clashing. They are not simply harmonious, they are one. Science is but a knowledge of the Divine method. What 2lse is theology ? Both have God for the basis and back-ground. Even if the votaries of science refuse to speak the Divine name, they are equally in search of the Divine Being. God is not less God because you call Him an Original Principle." (J IN XIA. JOHN KELLY. John Kelly, the Tammany politician, lied in New York city at half past.') o'clock, 3n the 1st instant. The news of his death 3an not he said to be wholly unexpected, ind yet it is a painful surprise, for there was always the hope that he would recover from his illness and take his old place in political circles, where, for so many years, le wielded a powerful influence. lie was born in the city of New York, April 20th, 1822. He came from a hardy stock of Tyrone county Irishmen. He imerged from the very cot of poverty and was an office boy of the Herald under he elder Bennett, who quickly detected the ligh qualities of the undeveloped lad. His irst appearance in politics was when he worked at the head of his people in New i'ork as the champion of civil and religious iberty during the era of Know Nothingsm. He was elected a member of the Board of Aldermen in New York city? hence to Congress. He did as much in his >wn way to stifle Know Nothingism in New irorkas Mr. .Stephens did in Georgia, or as Henry A. Wise in Virginia. While in Congress he met Henry Winter Davis in debate, ind held his own with that great orator and igitator. It was in that Congress that Mr. Stephens met Mr. Kelly and knew him, and he friendship lasted over a quarter of a lentury. In 1880 Mr. Stephens said: "I lave stood by John Kelly in his entire itruggle, and have often said, and now reieat, that I regard him as the-ablest, purest u.d truest statesman that I have ever met rom New York." Mr. Kelly acted as pacificator in the fierce contests of the New York Democratic party rom 184S to 185Gin both State and National >olitics. He helped bring about the final j eunion which secured the nomination and ilection of Buchanan and Breckenridge. n relation to slavery, Mr. Kelly followed he lead of Hon. Horatio Seymour, beieving that the best principles of the Contitution would finally work out through he States the policy of emancipation. In 1858 John Kelly was elected Sheriff f the city and county of New York and esigned his seat in Congress. He was clean, horough and faithful in discharging public rusts, and not a dirty shilling can be found o-day in all his estate. He was appointed Comptroller in New York in 187G, and coninued to transact these duties honorably nd well. John Kelly was a self-made man. From newspaper office boy, he became a mouldrand grate fitter?then a leader and poliician in spite of himself. He was a close eader, and made a tour of Europe and the oly land. He was a student of the lan- I uages, and became a patron of the fine arts and a public benefactor as his years advanced and his wealth increased. This will probably be news to those who looked upon him as a mere "ballot stuffier and shoulder hitter." His best record was in 1872, when the Tweed King was expelled from Tammany Hall, and that organization was controlled by Seymour, Tilden and Kelly. He was a man of power, of honesty and courage?a man of action. His life has passed into history, and although there are those who called him a trading politician, he was probably one of the best, purest and most competent of New York's public men. ? ? SAM JONES OX LOVE. THE LOVE OE GOD, II ADDS HELL BAPTISTS, HALLELUJAH AND SHOUTING. [From the Baltimore Sun.] At the early morning service at Epworth church Sam Jones talked about love. He said: "Love is the fulfilling of the law. God is love and nothing else. I am so glad that amid all the trials and hardships, amid the thunders of grief and the tears of the grave, God's love is round about us. That . God made me I have no doubt. God also knows me and loves me. Life is worth living under such circumstances as these. God is all kindness and goodness. There is nothing so wonderful in the world as the love of Good. As I look at the fathomless, bottomless, shoreless love of God, my soul is lost in wonder. Look here, brother, sister, do you know that love can pour itself out in kindness and compassion, but love cannot save? If love could save, that mother's tears and prayers and vigils would have kept that boy from a dishonored grave. That loving wife would have snatched that husband from a drunkard's tomb. Love can pity?love can be kind, but love won't save. If love could have saved, the sacrificial death of Christ would be meaningless. Love is wonderful, but it cannot save. Away down in the East a family were reduced to extreme poverty, and the only condition on which they could get something to eat was to sell one of the children. ???a??a Him r\f fKom TKn tvi fn cairl 1 linu VYCIU II yg \;I WIIVIll* Xliv mav uttiM ) 'Husband, let's sell the oldest boy; he is young and strong.' The father said, 'No, wife, he has your eyes; I cannot let him go.' The husband then said, 'Well, let's take the second child;' but the wife said, "No, husband, he looks like you.' The upshot was that none were sold, and they resolved to perish together. God did not select any particular one of His children for us, but He gave His only Begotten Son. Some people think that God loves us because Christ died for us. I have heard it preached from some pulpits that the reason that God did not cut men and women down with one fell stroke was that Christ died for us. Jesus Christ never came into the world to be a target for God's wrath. God loves every sinner, but hates sin. You may take the meanest old sinner in Baltimore and God loves him as much as He does the pastor of this church. God did not say, 'I gave my son for any particular man,' but He gave Him for the whole world. Down where I came from there are a set of Hard Shell Baptists with just enough sense to keep out of an asylum. [Laughter.] They have monopolized God and cornered grace, and think they are the 'elect' of earth. 'We are the church,' and other such items, are played out. There are no 'elects' now. rnanK uou, we are getting Droau enougn iu get out into the ocean of God's love and declare that all are elect. All who are candidates will be elected. Talk about Jesus Christ dying for one man. Think of a minister standing up to-day before an open bible and reading as follows: 'God so loved the Hard Shell Baptist Church that all who believe on the Hard Shell Baptist Church shall be saved.' [Loud laugter.] Thank God, His love is boundless. He takes in all. Look here, you would all have been cut down long ago but for the love of God. Now, if God's love is so wonderful, what ought ours be to him. I love my dogs, I love my horse. My horse knows I love him. Every time I go to his stall he rubs his nose up against my cheek. My dog jumps out to meet me at the gate. Yet God cannot get us to be responsive to His love. You talk about hell. Where could you place that sort of fellow who loves not God, in any other sort of a place, and make him happy? [Laughter.] Hell is selfishness, and the man who has no response in his heart for God is a downright, upright solid lump of hell himself. [Laughter.] I could talk about the love of God for weeks at a time, but when I come to talk about my love to God, I can wind up in a very short time. "The love of trust is the lowest kind of love. You are low down when you have got that kind of love. Five-year-old Willie has the kind of love for Mamma. If his face is dirty he trusts her to wash it; if he gets sleepy he trusts her to put him to bed. I trust the Lord. The only use I have got for the Lord is to get all he has got for me. [Laughter.] Now sometimes little Willie is a lot of trouble. If any of you are step mothers you know that. Well, now, I reckon there are about 500 children of the Lord in this house to-day. You have the love of trust; you area lot of bother. If you get hurt you cry. If you want anything you whine around until you get it. [Laughter.] You're on the outlook for heaven, its golden streets, etc. St. John must have had his eye on the average soul of the nineteenth century when he wrote about Heaven, being paved with gold. Why some old lellows will scrape their toenails off to get those gold streets. "This kind of love will do for little Willie, but we must put away childish things. You ought to be men and women for Christ. Some of you are 21 years old, [Laughter] and it is high time you were raking out the trundle bed. Suppose a man 40 years old when he was hungry would say. "Mamma, give me a cake.' [Laughter] or when he was sleepy would say "Mamma, put me to bed.' [Loud Laughter.] What would you think of him? Religion is not all 'holler' and hallelujah. [Loud Laughter] If 1 M you only shout halleiujan tne aevu win have a joke on you. [Laughter.] "The next step is the love of admiration. It appropriates every good quality of another. We want more of that kind of love. It pulls up the noble traits of others and transplants them into one's own life. The best of all love and the highest type of love is self-dedicatory love?the love that gives itself. Here's a fellow who will give God his love, but no money. [Laughter.] It is easier to shout hallelujah than to give $1,000. "Here are two fellows who joined the church at the same time. One comes up the aisle a shouting and jumping all the way up. The other walks up as cool as a cucumber and*gives $1,000 for foreign missions. [Laughter,] Shouting is cheap. You can shout all night for a nickel. [Laughter.] When a man gives $10,000 for a good cause, you can rest assured that he has got one of the best cases of religion you ever heard of."
