A GERMAN PRoFE3soR's WIFE.-Dr Mary
Stafford Blake, in her lecture before the Dress
Committee of Boston gives the following reml-
niscence of her life abroad:
RETAIN as delightful memory, an evening
spent at the house of German Professor, IN
Berlin. There were rare minds gathered to-
gether from many lands, men and women
whom one had known and priced from atar.
The charming manner in which the Frau Pro
feSsorin welcomed her guests left nothing to be
desired. L do not know that any other than
my American eyes took note, even, OF her
dress; certainly no one seemed to scrutinize 1t.
But she was arrayed in pearl-colored SILK,
which as l afterward learned, had been her
wedding gown, made fourteen years before. 1t
had long bodice, with small plats at the
waist and broad ones upon the shoulders; an
open front, with lace under-kerchief; mutton.
leg sleeves, closed at the wrist, with frill of
lace about them and the skirt was short and
full, and gathered upon the waist. Her hair
all her own, was gathered into meagre knot
behind.
l could but make an estimate, then, of the
probable time she had saved from those four
teen years, by wearing her gown as it was first
made. / felt sure, taking into consideration
the matching of material, the selections OF
trimmings. the confabs with the dress makers,
that would have been necessary to keep the
ess modernized in accordance with the chang
ing demands of the mode, that months OF
Or 1cous time ha thus been spared TO the wear
er, and peace of mind beyond computation.
Who could tell but that those days, weeks and
possibly months, were what gave her the time,
in part, to learn to converse tuently with her
guests, as she did, in as many different IAN
euaoeS as they represented.

WAS THIS THE 1NTERvIEw?-We notice that
among the alleged reasons for President Grants
declination of the invitation to be present at
the centennial of the Battle of Bunker Hill it
is stated that when in Massachusetts few
weeks sin ,e they bored him for an opinion
about the third term, called for speech, and
then froze him. OF course this is all bosh, for
no newspaper man in New England made any
attempt. New York reporter last year tried
it on with the following result:
Reporter-Your Excellency, have come to
ask you, if the inquiry be deemed pertinent,
what your views are on the third term ques-
ton. The press
Presiden Grant, have nothing to say on the
subject.

pies large share of public attention

notion of being importunate, but thought that

Rep-I trust your Excelency, that this will
be deemed no intrusion?

The Oldest Virginia College.

Mr.. John Esten Cooke, of Virginia, has a
paper on "William and Mary College" in
Scribner for November, which gives an in
teresting account of the early history of that
ancient seat of learning, the oldest in the
United States, with the exception of Harvard.
The act of the Colonial Assembly establish
ing it was passed March %, 1860. It formed
an important element in the old aristocratic
society of Virginia The sons of the plant.
ers were uniformly sent to the college to be
educated, and they in their turn sent their
own sons to the venerable institution. 1t
was a conspicuous feature in the vice'regal
court under the royal rulers, and had in its
library rare volumes with the coats-of arms
of kings and noblemen who took pride in
connecting their names with its history
"Almost every Virginian of any eminence in
the eighteenth century had been trained for
his work in the world within it's walls. 1t
gave twenty seven of its students to the army
in the revolution; two Attorney Generals to
the United States; it sent out nearly twenty
members of Congress, fifteen United States
Senators, seventeen governors, thlrty-seven
Judges, lieutenant general, and other high
officers to the army, two cOmmOdores to the
navy, twelve professors, four signers of the
Declaration of Independence, seven Cabinet
officers, the chief craftsman and author of
the Constitution, Edmond Randolph; the
most eminent of chief justices, John Mar.

Bring De Little Ting Up To 1t. "

A negro woman in the West Indies, after
dropping her own gift in a missionary col
lection, put coin into the hand of her baby,
and guided it to the plate. When the col
lector became impatient at the delay caused
by this, she said, "Hsve patience, broder,
me Just want to bring de little ting up to it. "
We know of family of children, some OF
them nearly men and women now, where the
custom has always been to have mission
airy box in certain place of its own in the
house. Every child in the house put his or
her offering to the Lord for missionary pur-
poses into that box every Sunday morning,
and when there came new baby among
them, on its first Sabbath and always after
wards, until it was able to do it for itself, Its
little soft hand was made to close around a
penny, and was gently guided to the box
All unconscious as it was of the act at the
time, the effect was not wanting when it came
to know how early its giving had begun, nor
was the influence slight upon the others to
whom the offering had come to be glad and
conscious one.
There is grand principle in these simple,
practical teachings of cody mothers. Chill
dren will becomes willing and intelligent CIV
ers and workers in Gods service, if they are
steadily and cheerfully trained to it in child
hood and youth. They may be brought into
such service later in life by strong outside
influences; but their work will be steadier,
easier, and more efficient, if they have been
brought up to it. They can be made to love
it from their infancy, if it is presented to
them rightly, instead of having it only assO-
ciated with unpleasant self-denial, or grudg-
ing the bestoWal of the smallest possible gift.
Do Christian parents and teachers think
quite enough of these things?

"He That Believeth Shall be Saved. .

Sometimes, think likely, when children
hear ministers or their parents talking about
faith, they think it is very hard thing to
understand. They think it is all right fol
growu-up people to have faith-whatever il
may be, but it is nothing that concerns chill
dren.
But, dear children, it does concern you
The Saviour wants you to have faith in him.
Let us see if we cannot understand how sim
pie faith is.
Here is great army of people marching
around city. They do not try to batter
down the walls or burst open the gates
They Just march round it once, some of their
officers blowing rams horn trumpets, then
they 90 back to their camp. The next day
they do just the same thing, and so on for
six days. Then the seventh day they march
round the city seven times, and the last time
they give great shout, and down fall the
walls, and the army march in and take pos
session. SPY faith the walls of Jericho fell

way the city was to be taken, and he and

The California Centennial Grape Vine.

The big grapevine which is to be exhib-
tied at the Philadelphia exhibition has,
after several weeks of labor, been dug up,
divided into sections, and boxed for trans-
portation. This famous vine is without
doubt the largest in the world. The cele
brated vine at Hampton Court, England,
which grew under glass, is nine inches in
diameter three feet from the ground; this
vine is fourteen inches in diameter three feet
from the ground, and nearer to the ground
has a measurement of eighteen inches in d.
ameter, or ffty.six inches in circumference,
while its foliage has long covered space
equal to 10000 square feet. The HAMPTON
Court vine produces annually from 1900 to
1000 pounds of grapes. The product OF
this vine he's often reached the immense num-
Der Of $500 clusters, Of an average weight
Of one pound and half each, or nearly -
