DESTRUCTION IN DIsGUIsE.-It is fact
that mixtures of bad liuuors and acid as

They are potent to destroy! and may be

son, who had glass eye. They found such
a person in Bangor, Me-, and he was the
wrong gentleman. They found another w.
II. johnson in Salem, Mass, also with a
glass eye, and he too proved to he all limo
cent man. They then received telegram
from Newburyport, Mass, stating that a
w. IL. Johnson with a glass eye had been ar
rested there and he likewise proved to be
the wrong customer There is fourth
w. Il. Johnson, with a glass eye, somewhere,
and the Boston authorities would like to
have him; that is, unless he happens to be
the wrong w. II. johnson with a glass eye.

EVERY DAY RELIGIoN.---We must come
back to our point which is not to urge all
of you to give yourselves up to the mission
work but serve God more and more in con-
nection with your daily calling. | have
heard that woman who has mission
makes poor wife and bad mother; this
is very possible, and at the same time very
lamentablc q; but the mission | would urge
is not of this sort. Dirty rooms, slatternly
gowns, and children with unwashed faces
are swift witnesses against the sincerity of
those who keep others vineyards and neg
lect their own. l have no faith in that
woman who talks ofgrace and glory abroad
and uses no soap and water at home. Let
the buttons be on the shirts, let the chill
dren's socks be mended, let the roastmut-
ton be done to turn, let the house be as
neat as new pin, and home be as happy
as home can be. Serve God by doing
common actions in heavenly spirit, and
then your daily calling only leaves you
cracks and crevices of time, fill these up
with holy serviees.-S puryeon.
