TOWARD SODONI.

The preachers theme this morning grew
out of that sad story of Lot-a story full of
lessons for lis all.
You know when Lot divided the land
with his covetous relative, he pitched his
tent toward Sodom.' Why? Because self
interest, rs he believed, centered there lle
did not go us a missionary; he had no hope
of purifying that pool of inquity. He went
there for gain. Doubtless the Sodomtes
he may have attempted. The result is famil-
iar to all.
And there are many men to-day pitching
their tent toward Sodom. Men of politics,
who make use of unworthy means to accom-
plish political success; to whom party gain is
greater than the dominance of principle
Men of trade, who indulge undue desires to
get on, and who get on unduely-who sacri-
flee strict probity on the altar of mercantile
success. All sorts of men, who in any form
ignore right and just dealing and doing, and
look first to selfish ends last to the means
which win them.
Toward Sodom Sodom was laid in ashes,
yet Sodom exists even now. In ruins CEN
turies ago, it is still to thousands of people II
delightful city of gain and al good things,
wherein every desire shall be satisfied. Men
90 toward it as toward II Mecca. They
dwell in it, amid its vice, its varied evils.
and are content. And when comes the cry
of up! Get thee out" they pay little
heed.
Toward Sodom. Every road leads to
the worlds end reads an old legend. 1t
were sad indeed, if many We're to reach the
worlds end through Sodom; if selfishness
were to override all other considerations,
until they should become veritable Sodom-
ties ofa later day, only to perish as misera-
bly, rs persisted the Sodomites of old.

Respondent, and the two retired together for
the night. the lady locking the door and put
ting the key under her pillow. In the dead
waste and middle of the night poor Mrs. Mes
senger was awakened by feeling her husband
fumbing for the key; he was dressed and
ready to depart. She sobbed and prayed,
and the gentleman, apparently reenting, re-
turned to his couch, when his wife, having
first hidden the key under the mattress, tied
his wrist to hers with handkerchief. The
lady watched for awhile, but the drowsy god
was too much for her, and when she awoke
she found that her restless husband had un-
tied himself, dressed, torn the bed-quilt into
strips, and using these as IL rope had descend

paid his half of the bill, taken his baggage

DRESS OF SCHOOL GIRLS.

A lady who has visited Vassar College is
severe on the manner of dress in that insti-
tuition. The critic thus writes THE great
drawback to success lies in the want Of
physique to start with, and in the miserable
habits of dress and diet which they bring to
four years of hard work. 1t is this, and not
over-study, which breaks them down. 1t is
II curious circumstance, but it is true, that
students are hardly ever supplied with suiii-
cently warm clothing for the winter season
Nor is it possible to impress parents with the
necessity OF providing warm yet light all
wool garments and fabrics, which will resist
cold weather, yet not be too burdensome to
the wearer. Girls from the far West bring
dresses of almost the same texture for all the
year round, and possess neither the requisite
under nor outside clothing for permanent
health and daily comfort This is not from
poverty; it is simply want of knowledge.
The girl who is shverng for the want of I'M
dcrgarments, warm mcrino dresses, wooden
stockings and thick shoes, will have brace
lets. and white kid gloves, and II gold watch,
and perhaps diamond earrings. Simplicity,
convenience and comfort should character
ize the dress of college students, and it would
be well if special attention were directed to
this matter, and mothers told exactly what
to provide in the way of dress for daughters
going to college; and thus avoid what is re-
ally serious obstacle to continued study,
and prevent incongruities which are almost
painful"

TOO GOOD COMPANY FOR ME.

distance from Fulton Ferry, it was not much
of IL venture to go home without an escort.
and so she started. On the boat, standing
outside, enjoying the refreshing breeze after
the days toll, she perceived a gentleman (O
in rather close proximity to where she was
leaning over the guards, but said nothing.
"Are you alone?" said he, as the boat
neared the slip.

Their interruption, when the boat touched,
stepped off.
Il thought you were not alone" said the
fellow, stepping to her side again.

"Why, don't see any one; who is with
you?"
God Almighty and the angels, sir-Inl
never alone.'
You keep too good company for me, mad
