TILE ryrSINn SERVICE.

The large hall throngcd to the doors last even

forts. Beyond question tho multitude deeply i'm
pressed with the vital truths earnestly set forth by the
evangelist HIS address though not at all brilliant
eloquent was nevertheless marked by such force
and sincerity TO completely win the attcn-
ton ol the multitude, and the effect
decidedly positive and beneficial After the
usual prcliR mary exercises Mr. Moody came Tor
ward, aud. facing the immense congregation, IN HIS
kindly and nquistvc style narrated the parable of the
lepcr and illustrated the subject with characteristic
ST orcs III that ENLISTED the deepest attention
Indeed many among the audience, including the
ladies' became vsbly affected by pointed and well
lcprosy the soul far more dangerous
aud damaging than leprosy OF the body.
He referred, glowing terms, 10 the love
o. the saviour for mankind, who died the
cross rcdccm fallen men. Mr., Moody's remarks
were rcp.ete with appropriate and well narrated Incl
dents showing tho goodness OF God and the SACRIFICES
lie endured for men. In of all the generous
manifestations OF tho Almighty, Mr.. Moody made a
STIRRING appeal to the immense throng TO enlist under
the banner of righteousness, and tho effect OF his
concluding observations electrical In his usual
way Mr. Moody referred TO Mr.. Dodge Rev. Mr.
Hepworth ana others who were on the platform

AQUATICS.

There is probability that If the race between Col

at all, it will be on tho Kcnncbecssls, in
the neighborhood OF ST. John. Mr.. Thomas Mason,
OF Halifax has been dcputcd TO select the place. and he
is now In ST. John for that purpose. He has driven
over the ice on the Kcnnebccasis, and he appears to
favor that scene OF so many severe aud some sad
aquatic struggles But why should MI Mason como

about his own city OF HaaX? There is "thc finest
narbor in the world with Bedford Basin, as beautiful

Theirs Is no rule which philosophers can
devise for choosing either husbands or
wives wisely that has very much effect. Tor
the young do not trust the old upon that
subject, and choice, for women especially,
Is by no means so free as we all affect to
believe. Not one woman in ifty, unless
she Is for some Teason-suoh as fortune,
rank or beauty--a great catch, !" has any
thing like real power o9 sslaotion among
admirers, and even when she has she often
gives it away in obedience to q passing,
possibly sensible, possibly blundering fancy
thst she has found an ideal. But We should
have said that there are two broad rules
still worth teaching, because they had
some chance OF being believed, and they
are these: Let the woman's first requisite
be a man whose home will be to him rest (;
and the mans first object be woman who
can make home restful. 1t is the man with
many interests and engrossing occupations,
with plenty Of people to fight, with strug-
gle to maintain against the world, who is
the really domestic man, in the wife's
sense, who enjoys home, who is tempted to
make q friend OF his wife, who relishes pratt
tie, who feels in the small circle where no
body is above him, and nobody unsympa-
thetic with him, as II he were in heavtn
Of ease and reparation. The drawback OF
home life, its contained possibilities Of in
sipidity, sameness and consequent weari-
ness, is never present to such man. He
is no more bored with home than with
sleep. BE no more tires Of his wife than OF
his own happier moods. He is no more
plagued with his children than with his
own lighter thoughts. The worry and the

OUR VISITOR.
The Man who Is on the Vvav,o n, =
CenGennial-AndH His WTie.


The typical Centennial visitor made his
debut at a prominent Broadway hotel YES
terday morning, accompanied by his blush
ing bride. While. he rang the night-bell
cautiously she moistened her spit curl with
the tips Of her fingers and otherwise fresh
ened her toilet. A benevolent person sug-
gesting that they had cetter step in and in
quire at the office for the landlord, they
forthwith locked elbows and marched with
much ceremony into the reading-rOom, bill
lard room, bar room, barber shop and fur
nlshlng goods store next door before dis
covering the proper goal of newly arrived
guests. Declining the pen proffered by the
clerS, with the remark that he guessed he
wouldn't write to the folks till they got to
t.hliauelphia, the stranger expressed de =
sire Ior nice room with a CARPET and an
extra quilt, lntimating in an undertone
that expense was no object. Being initia-
t I'd by the clerk into the mysteries of that
useful volume known as the Register. - the
typical visitor wrote his name in it with
much effort and elaboration. adding the
maiden name of his bride and minuteIv
specifying the village, county and town

necessary by the labors of inscription, he

the ink-stand, he proceeded to pick off the
pieces, casually announcing that he and
Sal merely wanted to be lodged, being am
ply provided with the necessary eomestibles
for fortnight's visit. Late last evening
the interesting couple were seen taking ice
cream in a neighboring restaurant. A sin
gle dish and two teaspoons served them
both, and in the course Of the subsequent
conversation they bit the spoons to test the
genuineness of the metal, looked through
the saucer at the light, smelled all the bot
ties in the castor, and, being instructed by
the waiter where to settle the bill, poeketed
the napkins and walked up to the desk. In
the course of the unreasOnableness Of the
charge, the stranger assumed seat on the
conhtsE but happening to alight on fresh
custard pie, the discussion was abruptly
terminated. the frugal victim being obliged
to pay for beth ice cream and pie in order
to obtain the lean Of knife to scrspe the
custard from his trousers leg. This morn

From the San Francisco Re
The Man OF Nerve.

As they saw the bees passing themselves
round famiiarly the lady uttered timid
"Good gracious; We can't go therer'-
fPshawp calculated her lord and master,
slDon't be foolish. Bees never molest any
one that does not molest them. They are
perfectly harmless if you let them alone.
All You need is little nerve; when they
come buzzing about you walk right along,
and don't so much as make motion to-
wards them, even if they should light on
your face. Come on, now; il you haven't
nerve. Just look at me, and see how simple
it lis. With pardonable feeling Of pride
in her noble husband, his wife watched him
as be moved steadily up to the tree where
most Of the insects were having rehearsal
Ia Giimore's band, while a number were
doing the Skidmore Guards on the fence,
and still others were sliding around in the
air, evidently on picket duty, humming,
''We'll march around Jerusalem" Seeing
that her husband was not annoyed by the
little fellows, the lady followed him, but
took the precautIon to throw light shawl
over her head and shoulders, leaving only
peak hole for one eye. Running up to her
husband-Who was walking along looking
at bee which had just lit on his nose, and
wondering whether the eussed little creai
,ture was going to give him one just for
luck, and thinking how sweet he would
look with prOboscis resembling a quarter
section Of . lobster, she inquired, ''John,
amt yen afraidY' not thinking Of anything
else appropriate to the occasion. he curl
ed up his lip and the tip Of his nose in dis
dain at the thought, and just then he got
it from the bee upon the upper decki His
wife viii never forget the exclamation he
gave utterance to. and the bystanders gen.
orally remarked that 1t was exhaustive, and
fully did justice to the occasion. He
struck at the bee4 Eiciously, and in a Sec
ond the whole Skidmore Guard, Jerusalem
Warblars and Gilmore band were upon him.
They took him on the face and hands, nib
bled his ears, prospected his back, eraWled
up his nose and sunk more shafts on the
top Of his bald head than there are on the
Comstock lode. Had he been possessed Of
hundred hands he could not have kept the
enemy Of, and if his name had been Job he
could not have helped calling down male
dictions upon the women as he heard his
wife advising, under her shawl; ''Don't
hit at them, Johnl Don't hght themP'-
There was general roar Of laughter as the
'tman Of nerve" took to his heels, his arms
working Ike an old-tashioned windmill

secure In her bee.proot.

necessity or sunlight.

Instead of excluding the sunlight from
our houses lest it fade carpets and cur
tains, draw flies and bring freekles, we
should open every door andwindow and bid
it enter. 1t brings life and health and joy;
there is healing in its beams; it drives away
disease, dampness, mold, megums. In
stead of doing this however, many careful
housewives close the blinds, draw down the
shades, lock the doors, shut cut the giori-
fying SSys. and rejoice in the dim and mus
ty GOODNESS and twilight Of their unhealthy
apartments. It is pleasant ana not un-
wholesome daring the glare of the noOntide
to subdue the &ght and exclude the air
uuivering with haak, but in the morning
and in the evening we gay freely indulge
in the sun bath and let # hSOd all our
rooms, and if at its veEy heresst and bright
est it has full entrance to our sleeping
rooms, so much the better for rs. Wire
netting in doors and windows excludes not
flies and mosquitoes only, but all other ins
