Either excessive mental work or unusbal
care brings upon me nervous exhaustion

poor tired body sues for sleep until the
day-dawn is welcomed back, and We begin
our work tired out with an almost frult-
less chase after rest. Now l have found
that little Vegetine taken just before
retire gives me sweet and immediate sleep
and without any of the evil effects of tho
usual narcotics. think two things would
tend To make brain workers sleep. LIST. A

A Benediction.

He held her hand minute in his own;
Murmured, through parted lips, "God bless you
sweet"
Left her aloDe and 10 his vacant place
The twilight stole with soft and noiseiess fcet.
He passed away through dewy gIrden paths,
Flooded with waves Of moonlight wierd and white
And mystic scent Of leaf-veiled lilac bloom,
Waiting lite incense to the soul OF night.
Between the setting and tNe rising sun,
Adrift her sririt wandered, till the day
Woke the new story Of life bepu7
Out OF the grave OF one that slipped away.
AtWilisht life, OF gentle thought and deed,
OF selnesS purpose and reliant prayer;
spirit moving In the misty Hight
OF springtide perfume the evening air.
Standing alone, her life was doubly blest,
BY this dead love, and love Of sorrow born;
TIL tender Death sang all her soul to rest
And merged spring twilight in the summer morn.

The Everyday Darling.

The Everyday Darling.
She ia neither beauty nor genius,
And no one would call her wise;
In . crowd Of other women
She would draw no strangers eyes;
Even we who love her are puzzled
To say where her preciousness lies;
She is just an everyday darling;
In that her preclousness lies.
Bhe Is sorry when others are sorry,
So sweetly one likes TO be sad;
And II people around her are merry,
sho ia always gladder than Rlai.
Her sympathy Is the swiftest,
The truest heart ever had;
She is just an everyday darling,
The dearest that heart ever had.
Her hands are 30 white and little,
1t seems as II II were wrong
They should ever work for moment,
And yet they are quick and strong.
II any dear one needs helping,
She will work the whole day long;
The precious everyday darling,
Every day and all day long.
She Ia loyal a. Knights were loyal,
In the days when no knight lied,
And for sake Of love or Of honor,
II need be, true knight died;
But she deems not she IL braver
Than the woman by her eide,
This precious everyday darling
who noakea sunshine Al our side
An! envy her, Beauty and Genius,
Aud women the world cAlls wise:
The utmott Of all your triumphs
would be empty in her eyer.
To love and be loved is her kingdom;
In this her happiness lies.
God bless her, the everyday darling!
In this her preciousneSs lies.

=
Dear SH:-I. appears tn me ,hat tho
'OrlunJOX' preaching ofty-lIy differs from
ihal DI oar ,dthetS mainly Ia two pDims:
II. In the relative piumiuence given to
particular doctrines. the doctrines Of
election, Of deprayity aud of e,ernal pun
lshment, without being abandoned, have
lost the relative prominence they la and
the divinity aud humanity OF Christ, tho
agency of The Holy Spirit, aud the necessi-
ty of personal holiness, have come forward
into the foreground. In making this
statement mean to recognize the moditi-
cation which preaching has undergone
owing to change Of doctrnal emphasis.
-. In the substitution of a rhetorical for
logical mode Of presenting doctrine.
For example, instead of preaching on
deprdrtty as an abstract theme, and follow
ing out this theme TO its remotest logical
results, our ministers now preach to men
as sinners, as needing Savior, as needing
TO be born again. Much doctrine is in
volved in personal address, and is brought
10 bear upon the conscience and heart,
which nowhere appears in The form of
propositions.
I'm both these particulars, in the trans
fer OF stress from one 10 another class OF
doctrines, and in the personal instead of
The impersnnal mode Of urging Christian
doctrines, believe that the preaching Of
today IS more evangelical Than that OF
former times.

a few weeks ago tho Congregaiionalist
created de 'ided sensation in religious
circles by an editorial declaration that tho
Congregational and Unitarian donomina-
tions were couverging by gradual modih-
cations of doctrine and creed. President
Asa d. Smith, Of Dartmouth College, took
upthesubiect in an article designed to show
that Congregationaists are not giving up
any Of the doctrines that were considered
essential In the earlier history of their sect.
The Congregationalist declined to print
President Smiths article in the form sent.
and 1t was published in the Vermont
Chronicle. Tue article attracted wide at
tention. a large number of prominent
Congregntionalsts, from various parts of
The country, wrote TO President Smith,
conculrin2 with his IDEAS, and the subject
has had considerable discussion in the re-
ligious prcss.
The Independent hns printed articles on
the subject by Rev. Edward Abbott, of the
Con2rcgationalist, and by MIR. George s.

Abbot presents an ample array Of facts,
indicaIing tho nearer approach TO each 9TH
