A Great Spirit.

Acts are cups which we may fill with
rainwater or nectar; it matters little wheth-
er the cup is of stone or china, SO long as
it brims with the spirit of God. Nobleness
is not in the duty but in the disposition
that performs it; it is not the gift but the
goodness which prompts it, that makes
charity the crowning virtue. While ambi-
ton sighs for a mission, sympathy be-
comes ministering angel, pouring heav-
enly balm into wounded hearts; and while
vanity languishes for public display and
applause, faith unseals the lips and touches
the tongue with living fire. Trust and
hope and generous longings fill the voice
with sweetness, the words with fascina-
ton, and the air with grace; and peni-
tence and love and aspiration make every
act prayer, every utterance music, and
the breath increase. A great spirit makes
a great life anywhere. Let US have the
spirit and We shall lead the life. With
souls saturated with Christian sentiments
and all compact of virtue, an humble lot
and narrow round of duty will no more re-
strict our influence for good than the lines
on the map interfere with the shining of
the sun.

Personal ReCOllectiOns of Dis.
tinguished Generals.

A book bearing the above title is now
being brought forth, and from the advance
sheets procured from Harper GS Brothers,
the New York Herald vouchsafes very
friendly criticism. We reproduce a few
pictures, says the Pittsburgh Chronicle,
among which Major Negley occupies a
most honorable position; Sherman is de-
picted as the strategist the genius of the
war, full of life, energy and originality,
but ill-tempered, egotistical and ''as great
despot at heart as was Frederick the
Great" Thomas, the tenacious, is a tao
tician, without originality or strategic abi!-
ity-of cold blood, and apparently cold
heart, ''but pure as Baysrd"-of colossal
mind, like Kleber, and slow in execution,
like McDonald-in word, the reverse oI
Sherman. Grant, whose genius the Her
oldwas the first to appreciate and proclaim,
is the writer's hero, and he is delineated
as the perfect general-the full combina-
ton of the strategist, Sherman, and the
tactician, Thomas. Sherman is ''as mer-
curial as Frenchman and as demonstra-
tive as an Italian; Thomas as phlegmatic
as Dutchman and as tenacious as an En-
gIishman; while Grant, in every charac-
teristic, in doggedness, pertinacity, posi-
tiveness and taciturnity, is thoroughly
American and nothing else" Sheridan is
called r'an inspiration, not genera" with
out strategy and of rather erratic tactics,
but a quick, dasbing fighter. A neatly
drawn parallel between him and Sherman
makes the latter's peculiar energy ''that Of
the brain, inspired;;' Sheridan's ''that o.
the blood, inhamcd." Hooker is pro-
nounced to be of the same school of fight
ing Generals" and one so addicted to fore
| ing quarrels to direct issues that wher

The Fashions.

The Bourdoir, the best fashion authority
lin New York, has the following gossip
about
BoNNETs.-Almost without exceptions
the material employed in winter bonnets,
is velvet. The front half is usually made
of plated velvet spreading on the margin
and couvergiDg to point in the middle
in short, the front half consists of vel
vet fan. The back half is usually plain
piece of velvet, oval shaped, dotted with
Jets. Bandeaux of bright colored velvet
cross the bonnet in 'front.' and in some
cases are continued all around. The pre-
vailing trimming consists of plumes.
HATs.-These are, and will continue to
be, very fashionable. The newest are
made of light gray felt, and have low
crown, which is round like that of the
melon shaped hat; the brim is narrow and
lowered on the forehead; band of feath-
ers surrounds the crown, and two flowers
are fastened at the side; red rose and a
white rose-a streaked pink and white
pink, etc, etc. Another, and very CO.
quettish hat, is made of felt and has turn
up brim; it is covered with black lace,
Ithickly worked over with jet: this takes
the form of star, and covers the hat en-
tirely; the lace is festooned round the brim
and tuft of flowers is added at the sides.

Foreign Gossip.

The Gazette de France is the oldest
newspaper extant. 1t is now in its two hun
dred and thirty-sixth year, and was already
mature before the revolution of 1888.
The rare spectacle of six water spouts
was recently witnessed on the St Charls
river, near its junction with the st Law
renee.
The most astounding fish story yet told
is the statement by Prof Agassiz, that in
Brazil they have species of fish which
can climb trees
There is story of famous French
preacher, who delivering sermon on the
duty of wives, said 81 see woman pre-
sent who has been disobedient to her hus-
band, and in order to point her out TO uni
versaI condemnation, will fling this bre-
wary at her head" He lifted the book,
and every female present ducked and
dived. 'Alas" said the preacher, ''the
multitude of offenders necessitates gen
eral amnesty"
On the London, Chatham JS Dover
Railroad, England, three trains are run in
to London between four and six o'clock
every morning, for the convenience of
those who work in the city, but reside out
of town. For stations not more than five
or six miles out, a weekly ticket, emitting
the holder to 90 in every morning and re-
turn every evening, costs one shilling
(twenty-four cents), an average of two
cents for each journey. On the Metropol-
itan Road, on which early trains are also
run, no weekly tickets are issued, but the
fare is the same by the single trip, two
cents.
4 French capitalist offered to pay $780,
900 for the admission fees to the grand ex-
hibition in Paris next year, one-half at
once, the other on the eve of the opening.
The following notice was posted up in
the county of Kent, England: "Notice is
hereby given that the Marquis of Camden
ion account of the backwardness of the
harvest) will not shoot himself nor any of
his tenants till the l4th of September"
Artemus Ward has given his first lee
ture in London, and with success that
renders more visionary the announcement
of his programme that "Mr Ward kindly
offers to call on the citizens of London and
explain any jokes in his narrative which
they may not understand. Artemus pro-
poses to appear every night, except Satur-
day, at eight, and on Saturday morning at
three, if his health, which is delicate, will
permit him."

Down on Him.

On one occasion Lorenzo Dow, while
preaching, took the liberty of denouncing
a rich man in the community, recently de-
ceased. The result was an arrest, trial
for slander, and imprisonment in the
county Jail After Lorenzo got out of his
''limbo," he announced that, in spite of
this lin my opinion) unjust punishment,
he should preach at given time sermon
about "another rich man." The populace
was greatly excited, and crowded audi
ence greeted his appearance. With great
solemnity he opened the Bible and read,
"And there was another rich man who
died and went TO-" then stopped
short and seemd suddenly impressed.
"BrethreD, shall not mention the place
this man went to for fear he has some re-
latives in this congregation who will sue
me for defamation of character"

The Rose.

There was once poor woman who had
two children, and the youngest went ev-
cry day into the forest to fetch wood.
Once, when it had strayed far away, look
ing for branches, little, but strong and
healthy child came to it and helped it to
pick up wood, and carry the bundles up
to the house; but then in less than a mo-
ment he was gone. The child told its
mother of this; but she would not believe
it. AT last the child brought home rose,
and told its mother that the beautiful
child had given it, and had said that when
the rose was in full blossom then he would
come agsin. The mother put the rose
into water. One morning the child did
not get out Of bed, and the mother went
to it and found it dead; but it lay looking
quite happy and pleased, and therose that
same morning was in full bloom.

A MANS A MAN FOR A. THAT.

"a mans a man. says Robert Burns,
"For a. that and a that"
But though the song be clear and strong,
1t lacks note for a that
The lout who'd shirk his daily work,
Yet claim his wages and a. that,
Or begs when he might earn his bread,
Is NOT man for a that.
If all who dine on homely fare
Were true and brave, and that
And none whose garb is "hodden grey
Was fool or knave, and a that,
The vice and crime that shame or time
Would fade and fall and a that,
And ploughman be as good as kings,
And churls as earls, for a that.
You see yon brawny, clustering sot,
Who swaggers; swears, and that,
And thinks because his strong right arm
Might fell an OK, and a that,
That he's as noble, man for man,
As duke or lord, and athat;
He's but brute, beyond dispute,
And NOT a man for a that.
A man may own large,,estate,
Have palace, park, and a that,
Ana QOL Oub DOuCob hOItup
Be thrice man, for a that;
And Donald herding on the muir,
Who beats his wife and a that,
Be nothing but rascal boor,
Nor half man for a that.
1t comes to this, dear Robert Burns
The truth is old, and a that
THE rank is but the guinea stamp,
The man the gold for that
And though you'd put the minted mark
On copper, brass, and a that,
The lie is gross, the cheat is plain,
And will not pass for a that.
:. For a that aud a that,
'Tis soul and heart, and a that,
That makes the king gentleman,
And not the crown, and a that.
A man with man, if rich or poor,
The best is he, and a. that,
Who stands erect in self-respect,
And acts the man for a that
