The New York sun reiterates the charge
that Gen. O. L. Babcock, private secretary of

through a fraudulent certificate supplied by
Gen. BabcOck the large sum of SIG, 4l0 was
drawn from the United States Treasury for
work which it was pretended had been done
on Fifteenth and Seventeenth streets, while
in fact not one dollar had been expended for
the grading in those streets which was charg-
cd against the United states. Surplus earth
from cuttings i'm other streets was simply
dumped there, the contractors receiving no
pay for this work. The worst of the job is
that according to the evidence of the contrac-

for the cutting, which was done in other stS.
while BabcOck has certified to a charge of 40
cents for this cutting when the work really
cost only 20, and 40 cents more for filling,
which cost nothing at all, making so cents per
cubic yard, of which 60 cents per yard is pure
swindle and robbery.

measurements have been examined out of

Miss Florence Nightingale has made sug

That is poor restitution. No the thief owes
something more than this. He is indebted 10
the owner the price Of the things stolen. The
owner should, therefore, have a lien on him
until the amount is returned. A man Tobs

THE RIGHT KIND OF PRAYER
TEST.
ELGIA ELsToN

The christians faith in prayer does
not rest on the evidence of the past, but
on evidence that is daily brought before
his Judgment. Such is the following
incident in the life of John Coleridge
Patteson, the martyr Bishop of Melane-
sia. which we find related in the London
Spectator, by Ashley Cooper:
at was my happiness to know, near
the scene of his labors, John Coleridge
Patteson, whose apparently untimely
death we are all lamenting. His was
not feeble intellect, or superstitious
nature, or a conventional phrase making
tongue. He was man of excellent
parts in every way, and believer in
and a practicer of prayer. Above all
things, he asked those who were inter-
ested in his mission to pray for its sue
cess, and his own life was fortified by it.
The following incident in his life will
illustrate what | mean: Some years ago
he landed on an island, for the second
time, which he was seeking to christian
ize and civilize. He desired, after land.
ing, to reach the chiefs hut, and to this
end he asked some natives, whom he saw
on the beach, to guide him thereto
They consented but as he followed thei,
leading the idea came upon him thai
they meant treachery, as indicated by
their vehement speech, gesliculations
and angry backward glances. Uneasi
ness took possession Of the Bishop, ant
he feared for his life. Presently he CAM
to an abandoned hut, and for few
minutes he left his guides, and those mo
ments he employed on his knees in pray
er. The effect, he used to relate, of thu
commencing himself to his Divine Faith
er-soul and body-was wonderful al
fear left him, and he came out of tina
hut regardless Of consequences and uI
on the treacherous guides the effect wa
no less wonderful-they gradually cea:
ed to plot, and at last one of them turr
ed, confessed the treachery. and otfere
!, to lead him back to his boat in safety.

sumo so, yet, prefer not to listen to his

rather hear some one tell that old hack
neyed story. For my part like some
thing new" perhaps, SIR" was the
reply, in voice trembling with emotion,
eff you knew more of that story by ae-
tual experience you would cease signing
for something new" The devout wor-
shipper at mammon's shrine turned away,
not caring to prolong the conversation,
while scornful smile lurked around the
finely chiseled lips Years rolled swift
ly on, and the conversation had faded
4 from the christians mind, when one eve
ming, in, far distant city, he entered a
neatly furnished chapel. Prayers were
offered, testimonies given, and sweet
songs of Zion sung. At length man
whose dark locks were thickly threaded
with silver, rose, and in husky voice
said, ''Long years did l wander in er-
ror's broad way My eyes are dim but
not with age. Many times did [ hear
of Christ's saving power, but strong in
self-conceit and wickedness | laughed
him to scorn, listening instead to those
teachers whose false doctrines bring dire
, destruction to all who follow them. Now
, everything is changed and no Longer
wonder that christians love to tell thu
8 old, old story of the cross, for to them i
o is ever new. Bless God for that ole
o hackneyed story" AS he. took his sea
a silence more eloquent than word
reigned for a moment over the assembly
Then the christian who in that brie
: time had recognized the man as one wit
r. whom he convcrsed years ago, sang
4 while all the congregation joined, tn
q notes yelling up from glad hearts wit
sweet accord:

Then look at Jacob. He at all events
valued the birthright. He believed in
God and desired a share in his promises
Does this excuse or palliate his conduct?
On the contrary, it makes it all the more
heinous and so in all similar cases. for
such sins bring discredit on religion, and,
like David's '.give great occasion to the
enemies of the Lord to blaspheme. =
20 Sam. xii. l4.) But, like David. Ja--
cob repented and, like David, he was
forgiven. For the ''chlef of sinners =
let it never be forgotten there is for
giveness if he turn with all his heart to
God, and look to that salvation of
which Jacob could not fully know, but
for which in faith he waited" Gen.
xix, Is y while the most perfect char
acter, judged by our imperfect standards,
will avail man nothing if he neglect
that great salvation.
But it is asked--and boys of an in
quiring mind a0iU ask-was it fair that
Jacob should be SO greatly prospered z
To this it may be answered, a. Was
not Esau, 'profane person" as he was,
greatly prospered too? Truly God
b.maketh his sun to shine on the evil
and on the good" (Matt. V, As. (2)
Think of Jacobs sufferings. There is
scarcely such another life of trial record
ed in scripture Thinkof his exile from
home and his life of hardship for twenty
years, Gen. XXI, 40, 4l.;) of his great
and forgotten (see Xviii, y sor-
row in the loss of Rachel; of his despair
in his old age at being "bereaved of his
children of the treatment he endured

true-"Be sure your sins will find yor
out" SIN brings suffering it may bt
forgiven, but its earthly penalties caamo
be avoided; therefore fear to SIN.
