The LOST ONEs.-Has it ever occurred
to you what a commentary upon our
civilization are those lost women, and the
attitude of society toward them ? A little
child strays from the home inclosure,
and the whole community is on the alert
to find the wanderer and restore it to its
mothers arms. What rejoicing when il
is found, what fearful sympathy. what
heartiness of congratulatlon. There are
no harsh comments upon poor, tired feet,
be they ever so miry, no reprimand for
the soiled and torn garments, no lack OF
kisses for the tear. stained face. But let
the child grow to womanhood, let her be
led from it by the scourge of want-what
happens then ? Do Christian men and
women go in quest Of her? Do they
provide all possible help for her return
or if she returns of her own motion, do
they receive her with such kindness and
delicacy as to secure her against wander
ing again ? Far from it. At the first
step she is denounced as lost-lost
echo friends and relatives-we disown
you don't ever come near us to disgrace
us Lost says society indit1erently.
How bad these girls are And lost
irretrievably lost-is the prompt verdict
of conventional morality, while one and
all unite in boiling every door between
her and responsibility. All, will not
those lost ones be required at our hands
hereafter.-lfrS. BWleiW,

A TOUCHING INCIDENT. In speaking
of the flood which was so disastrous in
several sections of Virginia, the Lynch
burg papers give the following sad event:
A mother and several little children were
making their escape from a narrow neck
Of land, which lies between the river
and the canal, when they were amazed
to find that the bridge was already gone,
and that their only hope was to cling on
to the abutment Of the bridge until the
angry waves should subside. But as
they stood there clinging 70 the abut-
ment, the waters continued to rise high
er and higher, while in the deep dark
ness they could hear the crashing of
trees amid the thunders of bridge tim
bers that were wildly dashing all around
them. They had been in this desper-
ate condition for some time, when the
little girl felt that her strength was gone,
and with wild shrek of terror she ex-
claimed, "Kiss me, mother, for I can't
hold any lon9er!" And with the warm
pressure of that mothers lips upon her
cheeks, she was swept away and was seen
no more.

He knows the summer comes, for now
The pleasant south-wind socks his brow /;
Ho hears the twitter and the song
or buiIding.birds the whole day long,

To him tho breath of budding rose
And hint Of the Magnolia's bloom
To him forever in the gloom.
But not for him the dowy morn
Hangs heaven upon the idle thorn;
But not for him the splendid day
Da22los the azure on its way;
And not for him the awful night
Wings upward her eternal flight.
But to be blind, and be like him
When far away these shadows swim,
While Gods bright lilies to and fro
Shake softly all their gold and snow,
And first he satisfies his sight
AT the great fountain Of the light,
And sees in glory and alone
The emerald rainbow round tho throne,

A MIXED sE.-The Cleveland police
picked up a man day or two ago in the
streets who appeared to be laboring I'M
der great mental disease, but on applying
soothing remedies he came to himself
and explained matters. The Ledger says
that when he left his happy home early
in the morning his wife kissed him good
by, as is her custom when she wants any
Grand performed, and then asked him
to ego to the dressmaker and tell her
that she (the wife) had changed her mind,
and would have the watered silk made
up instead of the poplin, and be sure to
tell her." said the wife, " that if she
thinks it would look better with ten bias
hounces without putting, and box-plaited
below the equator, which should be
gathered in hem-stitched gudgeons and
down the seams. with gusset stitch
between, she can make it up in that way,
instead of futing the bobinette insertion,
and piecing out with point applique as I
suggested yesterday"
