? THE SONG OP THE FLIRT.
With feet quite weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman reclined on a ba! ?-roora chair
.When- she ought to have been ia bed.
Kicb! rich! rich!
In ber low-necked silk admired,
Bat still, with a voice of dolorous pitch,
She.murmured, "I am awfully tired !"
Dance! dance! dance!
Till your head begins to swim ;
Dance! dance 1 dance!
And whirl with a horrible vim.
h'8oh! to bea giri 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 !
Oh, young and giddy wives !
lt is not slippers- you're wearing ont
When you're spending such giddy lives ;
But jon1 re. wasting away your brains,
To your mothers* and husbands' hurt,
An 1 you'll find that never a bit remains
When you-get too old to flirt.

When we come back from the bat
. tlefield, weary vet victorious, we may
look fur our King of Peace coming to
meet us with bread and wiue, and his
own priestly blessing, that we may
be strengthened and refreshed by
Himself.-JP. R. Eavergal
The word which best designates
the Christian character is consecra
. lion. This is its first fruit, because
it is 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 up the simple, grand quality of
Christian consecration.-N. Y. Inde?
pendent.
, the Salvation Army has pitched its
tent in Raleigh. Alas ! fur Raleigh.
- We do not say that no good has ever
been done by the Salvation Army ;
bat so far as our observation extends
it is a conglomeration of cranks, and
attracts attention by the oddities,
buffooneries and tomfooleries of its
. leaders. It Is a great attraction for
religions people who take no interest
in the Gospel, and are not worth a
cent in their own churches.-Dr.

Jerusalem has no manufactures,
commerce, or business worthy to
be mentioned. One loue 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 catt get from the thou?
sands of comers and goers that pass
?riV 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.

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-1
- conrees to his hearers. . A? a man- o? j
good judgment, wishing to make his j
mission a successful one, he would j
naturally dp this, after the example of j
the greatest of the missionaries of the j
cross. St. Paul. The prediction has i
. been verified. He has indulged in
plain talk, but Bostonians can stand
the truth presented in strong lan
" go*ge wheu the speaker gives such
evidence as Mr. Jones has done. I
Those who hear him once wish to]
Bear him again, and his plain presen- i
tation of the Gospel has disarmed j
. much of that prejudice which would
?save prevented hun froai holding
meetings here.-Boston Traveller.
Some one sent a person in Massachu

consisting of Ingersoll's lectures, &c.
fie responded : 'At the same time, if
you haye anything better than the
'Sermon on the Mount,7 and the parable
of the 'Prodigal Son.' and that of the
.Good Samaritan,* or if you have any
better code of mor?is than the Ten

eonaoliog 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?

The saloon is the blood poison of our
social and political system. It will
disrupt our free government unless thc
strong arm of law ts laid firmly upon it.
To license it is to dignify it with re
spectabiiity. 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
fond mothers have kept lonely vigils on
many nights in the blessed old home.
Let's vote to crush out this 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 icc ice loee the
hrethren. He that loveth not abideth

be seen in the Church on earth. And
surely the people ef God who worship
at His footstool, who meet at His table,
who ?it together beneath the droppings
of the love that fiows from Calvary,
should show in heart and life sod char?
acter the love of Him who first loved
them. Th*re should be such an atmos?
phere of love ia every church, that no
one could enter there and escape irs
influence. Christians should carry with
them such an atmosphere of love that
it should distill like the dew upon all
whom they meet. And as the world
looks upon os they should be com?
pelled to say, as the heathen said of

of the position is that it does not last

Dr. Woodrow's Successor. ;
The directors of the Columbia
Theological Seminary have elected
Rev. Dr. G. B. Strickler, of Atlanta,
to succeed Rev. Dr. Janies Woodrow
as Perkins Professor of Natural
Science in connection with Revela?
tion. Rev. Dr. C. C. Her*man, of
Missouri, has been also selected to
succeed Dr. Eemphill, 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
aud Doctors Girardean and Tadlock.
If Drs. Slrickler and Ilersman ac?
cept their professorships, the Semi?
nary will gain two very able divines,
whose views will accord with the
majority of patrons and miuisters
and with the express doctrines cr
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 be or
Dr. Hersrnan 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 shail hear no more about
Evolution. The old standards or the
old ideas will be taught at the old
stand.-Augusta Evening News.
Rev. Dr. Strieker has positively
defined to accept the position. One
of his reasons is that li? 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 mat?ria?s
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
the fertility will be absorbed by the
soil. I
SELF-CONTROL REQUIRED.
A Brief Essay on the Facial Expression of
Stenographers.
In all the .advertisements and circu?
lars which the various shorthand schools
and colleges are sending broadcast
j over the country regarding the qualifi
i cations of students whom they have
j 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 Delsarte 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 npon
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 seo the
ridiculous side of everything, then I
warn you to so train yourself that?
while laughing inwardly as much as
yon please, not oven tho 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 by 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 ali 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."
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 be 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 manuer. "We
done the best wc could, but it is our
iutentions to do better, etc., etc," or so
mixes his own individual "J." 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 the wrink?
les of your forehead holding an indig?
nation meeting at a common center, I
waru you to suppress them all. Say to
each rising hair "Sit thee down, my
chi id;*' to each quivering muscle,
"Cease thy sympathetic convulsion,"
and to the gathering wrinkles, "Depart
in peace, this is none of your affair that
you- should thus show yourselves in
battle array."
Are you subjected io thc writing of
personal letters, giving information,
perhaps, on subjects which arouse your
curiosity, let not one gleam of exulta?
tion shoot from your eyes that you now
possess tiie wished-for knowledge, or if
you are called upon to take letters of
condolence to sorrowing friends, let not
thc look of abject pity show itself upon
your face, not even if the tears roll from j
your dictator's eves aud your heart is ?
filled with sympathy. You fire not
hired as a mourner to enter into tho I
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 a 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 lo resume your legitimate
business-let not their words extend
further than your ears, .-md let rot your
face express that you stand with cither
side in their opinion of presidential can
dictates, but let them judge from the
vacant look in your face that you did
not know a fall 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-PJionograpkic Monthly.
Inquisitive Spectators.
The curiosity ot 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, there 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-- *4The 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:
*Oh, my! how they do grow when you
get back, away from them!" And this
is the whole secret of the effect produc?
ed upon the spectator.-Theodore li.
DaviSy 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 said 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, as well a3 many
sold com3.
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 aia 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
frow em out on the 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 de
nickels and shake again. If dey come
two aces dat's 'Little Joe,' or if dey
come ace and deuce dat's 'craps,1 you
lose, give up a nickel all around, but
have de priv'lege of continuing de
shake. If you shake anything else on
the first ?lip-dat is, say four, five, six,
eight, nine, ten or twelve-dat is your
'point' and in order to win you must
keep right on tossin' 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,
j 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 their 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. Well
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 trifling sura of $6 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,
hnving the indorsement of our Cougressional
and professional reporters every where, togeth?
er with over 1000 graduates of our Chain of

uously high standard of excellence.
