MAETHA AND MARY. Commend us to on
good brethren of the clergy for anecdotes
OF pith and delicacy. At the house of the
late DR.. Archer, in London, there was a
gathering of friends, and among them DR..
Harris, author of "Mammon," and DR..
Philip, of Maberly Chapel, author of ''The
Marthas ''The Marys,' etc. In the
course of conversation the question was
mooted, which was the most amiable Of the
two sisters OF Bethany, Mary or Martha
DR.. Archer replied:
81 prefer Martha for the unselishnes5 OF
her chara cter, in being more ready to pro-
vide for the comfort of her Lord than
crafty herself"
Pray" rejoined Dr. Harris, addressing
DIR. Philip, "what is your view? Which OF
the two do you think would have made the
best wife P"
"Well, really" replied the good man,
''Im at a Toss; though 1 dare say, were
making the choice for myself, [ should
prefer Mary"
DR., Archer, turning to DIR. Harris, said
snartly, ''Prsy, DIR. Harris, which of the
two should you prefer.
The author of "Mammop" was only fol
a moment disconnected, and replied, in {
style that set the table in a roar: ooh, D..
think [ should choose Martha before din
ner, and Mary after it. "-Eiaor's Dra,oer

A SAD AFFAIR.-Lyons, Iowa, is deeply
excited over the death Of little Lee Gun
ninghem, pupil in the city school. Lee
was a regular pupil in Miss Hudson's S
room, but spent portion of his time in
Prof Greison's room, studying German.
One day about a month ago, he obtained
Miss Hudson's leave to go home, when, 1t
seems. Mr.. Greison expected him back.
Next day the latter accused the boy of
playing trHant, which the boy denied
whercupon Greison struck him a heavy
blow upon the side of his head and face.
TLe boy asked why he vas struck, and
was told to shut up or he would be struck
again. The boy went home With severe
headache, followed by afever During the
three weeks that he lived afterwards, the
side of the head upon which the blow was
given was constantly i'll pain, and hot and
infamed even when the other side was
cold. The opinion of the parents and at
tending physician is that the noy's death
was caused by the blow. He died on the

A PIECE of Russian history has been IN
covered lately IN the shape of four collins,
each OF them containing, as their we'll
preserved bronze plates betoken, the dust
of some man of Importance in his sphere.
These coffies were brought to light at the
destruction Of an old church at Moscow,
situated in the 'Lefort'' portion OF the
town. The first contained the remnants OF
Gordon, who suppressed The Strelltz riots,
and died as Governor of Moscow In 1899.
The second WAS that of Count Bruce,
General Field Marshal OF the Russian
army, who commanded the artillery dur
ing the battle of Pul;owa. The third be-
longed to the Russian ambassador Count
Rabutinsky well known by his memoirs;
and the fourth to the Capucin friar Schon,
a celebrated preacher of the time of Alex
ander l. OF Laiort himself, who, too, is
supposed to have been buried in this
church, no trace has been found.
