THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 10.
; THE SONG OF THE FLIRT.
With feet quite weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman reclined on a bat 1-roo ra chair
. When she ought to have been in bed.
Rich ! rich ! rieb !
In her low-necked silk admired,
Bat s till, with a voice of dolorous pitch,
She,murmured, "I am awfully tired 1"
Pasee I dance 1 dance I
Till your head begins to swim ;
Dance I dance 1 dance!
And whirl with a horrible vim.
It's oh ! to be a girl I
I would teach them a lesson of wit,
For when they get in this maddening whirl
They never know when to quit.
Oh, girls with mothers dear I
Oh, young and giddy wives !
it is not slippers, you're wearing out
When you're spending such giddy lives ;
But you're, wasting away your brains,
To your mothers' and husbands' hurt,
An 1 you'll find that never a bit remains
When yon ?et too old to flirt.
- Grip.

When we come back from the bat

look fur our King of Peace coming to
meet na with bread and wine, and his
own priestly blessing, that we may
be strengthened and refreshed by
Himself.-JP. R. HavergaL
The word which best designates
the Christian character is consecra?
tion. This is its first fruit, because
it m its best definition. Of Christ
we are told, first negatively, that he
pleased not himself. Then we are
told affirmatively, that he went about
. doing good. The two together, self
abnegation and doing good to others,
make np the simple, grand quality of
Christian consecration.-N. Y. Inde?
pendent.
t The Salvation Army has pitched its j
tent in Raleigh. Alas ! for Raleigh.
-, We do not say that no good has ever
been done by the Salvation Army ;
bat so far aa our observation extends
ft is a conglomeration of cranks, and
attracts attention by the oddities,
buffooneries and tomfooleries of its
. leaden, lt is a great attraction for
religious people who take no interest
in the Gospel, and are not worth a
cent in their own churches.-Dr.
Hatcher, ia the Baltimore Baptist
Jerusalem has no manufactures,
commerce, or business worthy to
be mentioned. One lone telegraph
wire to Jaffa connects the city with
all the world beside. The people live
on the charities of Jews, Mohamme?
dans, and Christians of distant nations
and what they can get from the thou?
sands of comers and goers that pass
this way every year. The Jew takes
least root in his own native land.
There is not a man among them cul
- tivating the soil of his forefathers.
"' Reo? Dr. Young, Methodist.
When Mr. Jones, the Georgia re?
vivalist, opened his meetings in Bos?
ton the Traveller ventured the pre?
diction that he would suit his dis
' courses to his hearers. . As a man of
good judgment, wishing to make his
mission a successful one, he would
, uaturally do this, after the example of
the greatest of the missionaries of the
cross, St. Paul. The prediction has
. been verified. He has iudulged in
plain talk, but Bostonians can stand
the truth presented in strong lan
" guage when the speaker gives such
evidence as Mr. Jones has done.
Those who hear him once wish to
near bim again, and his plain presen?
tation of the Gospel has disarmed
. tnuch of that prejudice which would
have prevented him from holding
meetings here.-Boston Traveller.
Some one sent a person in Massachu
r setts a package of infidel publica lions,
consisting of Ingersoll's lectures, &c.
He responded : 'At the same time, if
you have anything better than the
'Sermon on the Mount / and the parable
of the 'Prodigal Son,' and that of the
'Good Samaritan,' or if you have any
better code oT morals than the Ten
c Commandments, or anything more
consoling and beautiful than the twenty -
third Psalm, or, on the whole, anything
that will make this dark world more
bright than the Bible does ; anything
that will throw any more light on the
future; and reveal to me a Father more
merciful and kind than the New Testa?
ment, then send it to me and scatter it
broadcast/-N. Y. Christain Advo?

The aalooo is the blood poison of our
social and political system. It will
disrupt our free government unless thc
strong arm of law is laid firmly upon it.
To license it is to dignify it with re?
spectability. To so dignify it is to
pave the road on which the boys of
America tread their swift journey to
destruction. Fvery man who votes
for license votes for through ticket to
hell for thousands of boys over whom
food mothers have kept lonely vigils ou
many nights in the blessed old home.
Let's vote to crush out tbis great de
spoiler of human hope and happiness.
Waco (Texas) Advance.
True grace will be poured upon us in
fuller measure, but if we love not here,
we will never know the love of heaven.
4We know that we have passed from
death unto life, because ice ice love thc
orethren. He that loveth not abideth
ta death.' The dew of Hermon must
be seen in the Church on earth. And
surely the people ef God who worship
at His footstool, who meet at His table,
who sit together beneath the droppings j
OJ" the love that flows from Calvary,
should show in heart and life and char?
acter the love of Him who first loved
them. Th^re should be such an atmos?
phere of love iu every church, that no
one could enter there and escape irs j
influence Christians should carry with j
them such an atmosphere of love that
it should distill like the dew upon all j
whom they meet. And as the world !
looks upon us they should be com-1
peiled to say. as the heathen said of j
the early Christians, 'Hehold, how j
these Christians love oue another.'- j
Rev. P. H. H?ge, in N. C. Presbyte- j
ri an.
One of the best things in the world j
to be is a boy-:t requires no expe- i
newee, though it needs some practice j
to be a good one The disadvantage
of the portion ?9 that it does not last
long enough. Ic is soon over. Just
a* you get used to being a boy you
have to be something else, with a good
deal more work to do, and not half so
much fun. And yet every boy is anx- j
looa to be a man. and very uneasy j
with the restrictions that are put upou :
him aa a boy. i
Dr. Woodrow's Successor/ :
The directors of the Columbia
Theological Seminary have elected
Rev. Dr. G. 3. Strickler, of Atlanta,
to succeed Rev. Dr. James Woodrow
as Perkins Professor of Natural
Science in connection with Revela?
tion. Rev. Dr. C. C. Her*raan, of
Missouri, has been also selected to
succeed Dr. Hemphill, resigned. The
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Rev. Dr. Boggs has not yet been filled,
and the duties will be divided tem?
porarily between the new Profesors
and Doctors Girardeau and Tadlock.
If Dre. Slrickler and Hersman ac?
cept their professorships, the Semi?
nary will gain two very able divines,
! whose views will accord with the
majority of patrons and minist?re
and with the express doctrines of
the church as declared by the Gene?
ral Assembly and the Synods. Both
gentlemen were opposed to the theo?
ries of Dr. Woodrow, and Dr. Strick?
ler was a leader of the opposition to
Dr. Woodrow in the General Assem?
bly. It is not known whether he or
Dr. Hersman will accept, but it is
! thought that their congregations and
Presbyteries will protest against los?
ing them.
The principal effect of this selec?
tion will be the change in the teach?
ing at the Seminary, for when Dr.
Strickler shall lecture on Natural
Science in connnection with Revela?
tion, we shall hear no more about
Evolution. The old standards or the
old ideas will be taught at the old
stand.-Augusta Evening Neivs.
Rev. Dr. Strieker has positively
defined to accept the position. One
of his reasons is that he fears that
his acceptance would create toward
him more or less enmity on the part of
Dr Woodrow's friends.
Salt For Manure Piles.
Salt is one of the best materials
to put on manure heaps in winter,
it will keep them from freezing dur?
ing very cold weather, and when it
is warmer will keep the heap moist
and prevent fire-fanging. Salt in
connection with carbonic acid gas is
an excellent solvent, and it is a good
fertilizer for land containing a large
amount of vegetable matter. Of
course where salt is applied on ma?
nure piles it should be where it will
notibe long exposed to rains, as its
power to make fertilizers soluble will
then canse loss. But if the manure
is to be at once drawn on the field
there is little danger from this, as
thc fertility will be absorbed by the
soil.

SELF-CONTROL REQUIRED.
A Brief Essay o a the Facial Expression of
Stenographers.
In all the .advertisements and circu?
lars which the various shorthand schools
and colleges are sending broadcast
over the country regarding the qualifi?
cations of students whom they have
graduated I find one point not alluded
to; and as I believe this omitted point
something necessary to the success of
every one acting as private secretary it
seems to me it should be taught, or. at
least, spoken of as a necessary requisite
in the proficiency of shorthand writers.
In these days when so much attention
is given to the Dels arte method of ex?
pression by those who are fitting them?
selves professionally for the stage, and
the look without the accompanying
words can be made to express emotion
of any kind, I would suggest a method
-differing from the Delsarte in the op?
posite extreme-which should be used
in connection with every system of
shorthand, that pupils may learn not to
accompany their dictators' words with
varying expressions of countenance, but
so train themselves that they can as*
sume a stoical expression which they
shall wear at all times, and out of
which they will not be surprised under
the most trying circumstances.
In my experience as private amanu?
ensis in a large wholesale house I have
learned this for myself, and now would '
help others just entering the field who
have no idea how much depends upon
the cultivation of facial expression; or
rather, the cultivation of non-expression
in the face.
Have you a keen sense of humor, and
are you unfortunate enough to see the
ridiculous side of everything, then I
warn von to so train yourself that?
while laughing inwardly as much as
yon please, not even the fringe of your
eye-lids shall quiver, or the corners of
your mouth twist, when your dictator
expresses himself in so peculiar a man?
ner as to excite your risibles.
If brought up in a conscientious
family, with no knowledge of business
entanglements which necessitate, the
telling of "white lies," then again will
it be well for you to be versed in facial
expression to the intent that when you
arc receiving words from your dictator's
lips exactly contrary to opinions ex?
pressed him in previous letters to
other parties, your eyes shall not open
wide with a questioning look but will
maintain a down-cast, "none of my
business," position, which at all times
suit your employer, for where is there a
business-man who wants his conscience
sitting at his elbow, ready to say in
looks-because it dare not in words
"You are not telling the truth, sir.1'
If you pride yourself upon your cor?
rect grammar and wince involuntarily
at the indiscriminate mixing of pro?
nouns and tenses when iu thc presence
of people not related to Richard Grant
White, then will it bc necessary for you
to be well trained that not a shadow of
horror will pass over your countenance
when your dictator begins a letter in
his most consequential manner. "We
done thc best we could, but it is our
intentions to do better, etc., etc," or so
mixes his own individual "1" with the
firm **we" that you are in doubt as to
the proper signature of the same. If
you feel each hair rising, each muscle
of your eye wincing, and all thc wrink?
les of your forehead holdiug rn indig?
nation meeting at a common center, I
waru you to suppress them all. Say to
each rising hair "Sit thee down, my
child;" to each quivering muscle,
"Cease thy sympathetic convulsion,"
and to thc gathering wrinkles, "Depart
iu peace, tins is none of your affair that
you* should thus show yourselves in
battle array."
Are you subjected to thc writing of
personal letters, giving information,
perhaps, on subjects which arouse your
curiosity, lot not one gleam of exulta?
tion shoot from your eyes that you now
possess the wished-for knowledge, or if
you aro called upon to take letters of
condolence to sorrowing friends, let not
the look of abject pity show itself upon i
your f;sce, not even ii the tears roll from \
your dictator's eyes and your heart is ?
tilled with sympathy. You are not j
hired as a mourner to enter into the
spirit of tho occasion; therefore, I say j
to you. maintain a look of the utmost
indifference and stoicism.
If interrupted in the course of a dicta?
tion by ? friend of your employer, who
calls for the purpose of discussing pol?
itics, and a lively conversation ensues
during which you sit with pencil in
hand waiting to resume your legitimate
business-let not their words extend
further than your ears, -md let not your
face express that you stund with cither
side in their opinion of presidential can- 1
didates, but let them judge from the
vacant look in your face that you did
not know a fail election was to take
place.
' In conclusion, strive not to be your
dictator's conscience, his grammar, or
his clown, but simply his phonograph
his human machine-which shall re?
ceive into its ears anything and every?
thing on all subjects, and shall through
it all maintain a countenance as placid
as a summer sea, as vacant as the face
of an owl, and as unchangeable as the
Sphinx-F/tonographic Monthly.
Inquisitive Spectators.
The curiosity of visitors to the various
great battle panoramas seems to have
no end. Many suspect that an immense
plate of glass is placed between the
spectator and the canvas; and some
persons have even thrown objects with
sufficient force to go thrice the distance
from the platform to thc canvass, for
the purpose, as they said, of testing the
glass. Of course, lhere is no glass nor
any other means of deception than the
simple arrangements here described.
The largest figures on the canvas are
between three and four feet high,
though they seem to be full size.
A certain inquisitive old lady, visit?
ing one of the ? earliest of these pano?
ramas- "The Battle of Sedan,"-help?
ed herself over the platform-rail by
means of convenient chairs, and trotted
down an earth road leading from the
platform to the canvas, where-along?
side the painted figures-she looked
like Gulliver's wife among the Lilli?
putians.
"Why! Oh, my!" she exclaimed,
"look at these dear little men! They
are only so big!" holding up her para?
sol near a painted group of German sol?
diers which looked like dwarfs beside
her. Great laughter greeted her return
to the platform, where she remarked:
**0ii, my! how they do grow when you
get back, away from them!" And tbis
is the whole secret of the effect produc?
ed upon the spectator.-1 'heodore li.
Davis, in SL Nicholas.
For some time past rumors have been
current in Constantinople of the discov?
ery of a fabulous treasure in the dis?
trict of Sivas, in Asia Minor, and the
attention of the government having
been called to the matter, the report has
been proved to have some foundation.
lt seems that an Armenian of the name
of Kupelyan noticed that several inhabi?
tants of Sivas displayed curious gold
coins, which, on being questioned as to
their origin, they saia had been found
in a region inhabited by poor shepherds.
Inquiries, and finally excavations, are
said to have revealed a buried temple,
whose interior is described as contain?
ing jewels of all kinds, a3 well as many
srold coins.
Craps.
A Utica paper publishes this valuable
information about "Craps." "Don't
you know dat game? Why dat's the
greatest coon game obber known. You
see a lot of fellers get round a table or a
board, and a couple of dice am pro?
duced. Each man shakes de bones in
his turn and de game goes dis way:
You take de dice and shake em up in
your hand-no cup is allowed; den you
trow em out on tbe table so dey roll
over once or twice-must make em roll
-no roll-no shake. If dey come seven
or eleven, dat is four-tray, six-ace, five
deuce, or six-five you win, rake in db
nickels and shake again. If dey come
two aces dat's 'Little Joe,7 or if dey
come ace and deuce dat's 'craps,' you
lose, give up a nickel all around, but
have de privilege of continuing de
shake. If you shake anything else on
the first flip-dat is, say four, five, six,
eignt, nine, ten or twelve-dat is your
'point,' and in order to win you must
keep right on tossin1 de bones until you
again make dat point, but if in trying
to shake your point you should happen
to frow seven-hi! hi! den it's good-by,
honey. You lose a nickel all round,
, and the next gem'men takes de ivories
and tries his luck, and so on it goes
swinging round de circle. De shaker
bets a nickel wid each gem'men at de
table dat he gwine to win on his frow,
and of course all hands am interested
to de extent of .heir pile. Dere am no
chance for cheating, case each man am
a looking out for himself, and de coon
dat gets away wid the sugar by cheat?
ing has got to be pretty swift, I tell you,
and if dey catch him doin' any funny
bizness, it's all day wid dat chile. Weft
now, gracious Peter, how dey would
carve dat coon."_
Something You Need-Shorthand.
"Why?"
Because it will aid you more than anything
else in acquiring knowledge. Because it will
serve you in case of misfortune.
"How can it be learned?"
By the aid of a book studied at home and
lessons by mail from an accomplished teacher.
"At what expense ?"
The trifliDgsura of S6 00, including book..
"Why so cheap when Colleges advertise the
same course of instruction for $25?
Because a new text-book is used that re?
duces the labor of learning proportionately
to the difference in price by the system being
made simpler than heretofore and more prac?
tical, besides being the most popular method,
having the indorsement of our Couerressional
and professional reporters everywhere, togeth?
