jfrfc atjbsted as well as possible, iu so
'* short ? time. Mary aud Martha eau
^etfta^Lo, these mattera. They did
'w itotH?e?p Christ stauding at the door
tfceyf vere newly app .relied or
f^Hgttl they had elaborately arranged
~ jfeir treases, then coming ont with
their-affected surprise as though they
c? bad not beard the two or three pre?
vious knockings, saying : --Why, is
?. ?ha^yo*?" .No. They were ladies,
?~] and ; were always presentable, al?
though they may pot have always had
w on their best *- if we did, our best
* would not be worth having on. They
' throw oben the door and greet Christ.
* They say : "Good morning, Master ;
come in and be seated." Christ did
T Bot come alone ; He bad a group of
gt friends with Him, and such an influx
* of city visitors wonld throw any coun
? try borne into perturbation. I sup
Mr poee also the walk fiom the city had
m bee? a good appetizer. The kitchen
department that day was a very im
.. {sortant department, and I suppose
? that Martha had no sooner greeted
* the guests than she fled to that room.
Mary had no anxiety about house?
hold afiaira. She had full confidence
-tfcat Martha could get np the beat din
*^?e^tef"Be^ljany. She seems to say,
-??ow Jet us have a division of labor,
Martha; you cook and I'll sit down
* *tid be good. So yon have often
^ seen,a great difference between two
atstass*- There is Martha, hard work
. ing, pains-taking, a good manager,
everptfiyen^vo of some new pastry,
or discovering something in the art
of cooking and housekeeping. There
is Mary, also, fond of conversation,
literary, so engaged in deep questions
of ?thies she bas no time to attend to
' the, questions of household we i fat e.
It is noon ; Mary is in the parlor
with Chriat ; Martha ia in the kitchen.
. It wonld have been better if they had
" divided the work, and then they conld
here divided the opportunity of lis?
tening ?to Jesus : bot Mary monopoli
ze#?m?st, wbfie Martha swelters at
the fire. It was a very important
thing that they should have a good
jdianer tba* day. Christ was huugry,
asaVae did not often have a luxurious
entertainment. Alas, me ! If the du
ty had devolved upon Mary, what a
aftjMst that would have been ! But I
Sbtnethrag went wrong in the kitchen, j
?tebaps the fire would not burn or
tho bread would not bake, or Martha j
scalded ber band, or something was :
burned black that ought only to have
beau made brown.; Martha lost her
patience, and forgetting the proprie- j
ties of the occasion, with besweated j
brow and perhaps with pitcher in one j
?and and tongs in the other, rushes |
oo? of tile kitchen in the presence of j
Christ, saying : "Lord, dost thou nott
care that my sister has left me to
serve alone f" Christ scolded not a |
word. If it were scolding, I should j
rather have his scolding than any?
body else's blessing. There was
BOthiog acerb. He knew Martha had
almost worked herself to death to get j
bim something to eat, and so he;
throws a word of tenderness into his !
intonation as he seems to say : "My
dear woman, do not worry ; let the
dinner go, . Sit down on this ottoman
beside Mary, your youngest sister.
Martita, Martha, thou art careful and
troubled about many things. But one
thing is needful."
Aa Martha throws open the kitchen
door I look in and see a great many
boojsebo?d perplexities and anxieties.
*>uM,rti#?;^ ? thc- ir?avoi- non-appre
ci^t?oa*;* that is wf&t. made Martha
BO mad with Mary. The younger
sister had u^estimate of her older
sister's fatigues. AB now, men both?
er with the anxieties of the store and
office and ?hop, -or coming from the
stock exchange they say when they
get home "Oh, you ought to be over
in Wall.street in these days! you
ought to 1 le in our factory a little
while ; you ought to manage eight or
ten or twenty subordinates and then
you would know what trouble and
anxiety are." Oh, sir, the wife and
the mother lias to conduct at the same
time a university, a clothing estab?
lishment, a restaurant, a laundry, a
library, while she is health officer, po?
lice and president of her realm. She
must do a thousand things and do
them well in- order to keep things go- l
ing smoothly." And so her brain and ?
her nerves are taxed to the utmost.
1 know-there are housekeepers who 1
are so fortunate that they can sit in !
an arm chair in the library, or lie on
the belated pillow and throw off all <
the care upon subordinates, who, hav?
ing large wages and great experience,
can attend to the cares of. the house- <
hold. Those are* the exceptions. 1
am speaking of the great mass of .
housekeepers-the women to whom ?
life is a struggle, and who at thirty ?
years of age look as though they were ]
forty, and at forty as though they y
were fifty, and at fifty as though they
were sixty. The fallen at Chalons a
and Au8terlitz and Gettysburg and r
Waterloo are a small number compar- c
ed to the slain in the great Armaged?
don x>f-the kitchen.- You-go but to t
the cemetery aud you will see that
Xlie tombstones, al], tead beautifully \
poetic, but if those tombstones would
speak the truth thousands of them
would say : "Here lies a woman kill?
ed by too much pending and sewing
and baking andifiC^^bing and scour- ]
ing. The weapdirwith yvhich she was \.
slain was a broom and a sewing ma- 4
chiiie or a ladle." f;*?wr^tnttfdh. "jj
man of the world, that youhave Vail ^
the cares and anxieties,! If the cares ,
and anxieties of the household should t
come upon you^fcf one week you .]
would be a fit candidate for Bloom- ]
ingdale-I otean insane asylum. The .
half rested housekeeper arises in the ?
morning. She must have the morn?
ing repast at an irrevocable hour.
What if the fire will not light ? 'What
if the marketing did not come ? What
if the clock has stopped ? No matter.
She must have the morning repast at
au irrevocable hour. Then the chil?
dren roust be got off to school. What
if their garments are torn ? * What if
they do not know their lessons?
What if they, haye Jost a hat ox ?&sh.;
t?ey must be ready. Then you have
all the diets of the day and perhaps of
several days to plan. But what if
the butene rhas Sent meat un m amica?
ble or the grocer has sent articles of
food adulterated ? Or what if pome
piece of silver be gone.or some favor?
ite chalice be cracked, or the roof
leak, or the plumbing fail, or any one
of a thousand Illings occur-you must
be ready.
Spring weather comes and there
must be a revolution in the family ;
wardrobe,-or autumn comes and you t
must shut out the northern blast. But |
what if the moth has preceeded you
to the chest? -What if, during the t
year, the children have outgrown the
apparel of-last year? What if the t
fashions have changed ? Your house ,
must be an apothecary's shop : it t
must be a dispensary ; there must (}
be medicines for all sorts of ailments
something to loosen the croup ; some* >
thing to cool the brain ; something to
poultice the inflammation ; something J
to silence the jumping tooth ; some- ,
tiling to silence the earache. You t
must be in half a dozen places at the 1
same time. If under all this wear ?
and tear of life Martha makes an "im- j
patient rusli lipon the library or draw?
ing room, be patient, be lenient. Oh,
woman, though I may fail to stir ?up ,
an appreciation.in the souls of others
in regard to your household toils, let
me assure you from the kindliness
with which JeMis Christ met Martha
that he appreciates all your work,
from garret to cellar, and that the God
of Deborah and Hannah and Abigail
and Grandmother Lois and Elizabeth
Fry and Hannah Moore is the God of
the housekeeper. Jesus was never
married that he might be the especial
friend aird confidant pf a whole world
pf troubled .womanhood-. I blunder ;
Christ was married. The Bible says
that the church is the Lamb's wife,
and that makes me know that all Chris?
tian women have a right to go to
Christ and tell him of their annoyan?
ces and trouble, since by his oath of
conjugal fidelity be is sworn to sym?
pathize. George Herbert, the Chris?
tian poet, wrote two or three verses
on the subject :
"The serrant by this claus?
Makes drudgery divine;
Who sweeps a room as for Thy Laws
Makes this and tbe action fine."
Again : There is the trial of severe
economy. Nine hundred aud ninety
nine households out of the thousand
are subjected to it-some under more
and some under less stress of circum?
stances, especially if a man smokes
very expensive cigars and takes very .
costly dinners at the restaurante, he
will be severe in demanding domes?
tic economies. This is what kills
tens of thousands of women-attempt- ?
ing to make five dollars do the work
of seven. How the bills come in !
The woman is the banker of the house-1
hold ; she is the president and cash- !
ier and teller and discount clerk, and j
there is a panic every iew weeks. I
This thirty years' war against high j
prices, this perpetual study of econo- j
mies, this lifelong attempt to keep tiie i1
outgo less than the income exhausts !.
millions of women. Oh, my sister, i
this is a part of divine discipline. If j
it were best for you, all you would
have to do would be to open the front !
windows and the ravens would fly in |
with?ood, and after you had baked
fifty times from the barrel in the pan- j
try, the barrel, like the one of Zare- j
path, would be full, and the shoes of ;
the children would last as long as the j
shoes of the Israelites in the wilder- i
ness-forty years. Besides that, this j
is going to make heaven the more at- j
tractive in the contrast. They never j
hunger there, and consequently there
will be none of the nuisances of ca?
tering for appetites, and in the land
of the white robe they never have to
.mend anything, and the air in that hill
country makes everybody well.
There are no rents to pay ; every man
owns his own house, and a mansion
-at that. It will not be so great a I
change for you to have a chariot in j
heaven, if you have been iu thc habit
o? riding- in this world, lt will not
be 80 great a change for you to sit
down on the banks of the river of life,
if in this world yen had a country
seat. But if you have walked with
tired feet in this world, what a glori?
ous thing to mount celestial eqnipa
ges, and if your life on earth was do?
mestic martyrdom, oh, the joy of an
eternity in which you shall have noth?
ing to do except what you choose
to do. Martha lias had no drud?
gery for eighteen centuries. I quar?
rel with theologians who want to dis- j
tribute all the thrones in heaven among
tLe John Kuoxes and the Hugh Lat
imeis and the Phebian Legion. Some
of the brightest thrones of heaven will
be kept for Christian housekeepers.
Oil, what a change from here to there
-from the time when they take up
the scepter. If Chatsworth park and
Stewart's mansion, on fifth aveime,
were to be lifted into the celestial city,
they would be considered uninhabita?
ble rookeries ; and glorified Lazarus
would be ashamed to be going in and
5ut of either of them.

Where it Touches the Shores and
the Great Columns in Midstream.
"What a beautiful bridge between old age
ind childhood ts religion. How intuitively
the child begins with prayer and worship on
intering life, and how intuitively, on quilting
life, the old man turns back to prayer and
worship, putting himself again side by side
with the infant," remarks Sir E. Bulwer
Lytton, in his "Strange story."
Yes, but between its distant abutments the
bridge of life has many high and awful arches,
through which the wild waters dash and roar j
in xvrath and desolation. Prayer and worship
?lone du not sustain these. Nature's solid
rocks must, lie unshaken beneath, and human
ar* and skill must rear and solidify the struc?
ture overhead. God's will is bestexemplified
in the laws He has Dade for the creatures
whom He has placed under their control.
Neither the child's trustful "Uur Father."
nor the old man's '"Forget me not in the
midst of mine infirmities," will al ter t his by
the weicht of a single grain.
Science and art first-then faith and prayer
-is the order of Heaven itself. Divinity
heals through its H gen ts, and those agents
are the discoveries of man; not the vague an?
nouncements of prophets or seers. Is life a
burden to you ? Does time drag ? I? your
power to cope with life's problem and duties
weakened? You are not well. Your blood
is sluggish and tainted, perhaps: or some
important organ is torpid or overworked.
This fact may have taken the form of dyspep?
sia, rheumatism, gout, malaria, pains in the
Stomach, ch t onic headache, or any nf a dozon
other ills. Pat ker's Tonic will invigorate
you, as fresh air invigorates those who have
been shut up in damp, fetid cells. It is power?
ful, pure, delicious, scientific, sale-the key
stone of the cmtral arch of the bridge of life.

WHY PEOPLE WANT TO BUY.
j THE WILSON LIGHTNING SEWEP
in preference to any other
SSTCXITG MACHINE?
?
We will tel 1 you.
BECAUSE it has no Cogs, Caras or Gears
j BECAUSE it bas no Rawhide or Fell
I Packing.
BECAUSE it has no Cast-iron Parts paint
! ed over to cover its defects.
j BECAUSE it does not shake, rattle ot
? dance all over the floor when run at a high
I rate of speed.
j BECAUSE it bas two speeds-one for fine
' work or a delicate operator, and the other
I for fast speed, so that you can do one-third
? more work in a day than can be done on any
I other Sewing Machine.
BECAUSE it runs Light and Easy. .
BECAUSE lost motion can be be taken np
i after years of wear without changing or put
! ting in new parts, which cannot be done
with any other Sewing Machine.
BECAUSE it darns rips and tears.
BECAUSE it does the most elegant designs
in embroidering without an attachment.
BECAUSE it does not break the thread or
I needle when run backwards.
We could tell yon for hours of its Superiority
over all other Sewjng Machines. We think
this is sufficient reason why people should
buy the WILSON. It is sold on very easy
terms.
