Revival Fruits.

A recent Daily Graphic says:I
Mr.. Moody has disappointed other
peoples expectations, and probably his
own, in the small number Of converts
made by his protracted and crowded
meetings. He has doubtless addressed
at least ten thousand people day for
these two weeks under the most favor
able circumstances to make profound
impression, if not to produce convic-
ton. Yet very few conversions have
followed. If the results Of his labors
are to be estimated by the number of
converts that are made they will hardly
rank with the revivalistic efforts OF
Knapp or Finney. He, however, is
not entirely to blame for the compara-
tive fruitlessness Of his exertiOns. His
lservices have been crowded by church

"Dicky Mischief once more. Bird
get was loud in her lamentations when
she found it was her little favorite
whom she had so rudely treated.
Dicky was quite ready to forgive her
but was fearful that she knew he ran
away. It soon came night, for it was
i've o'clock when he reached his aunt's;
and when the latter was preparing him
for bed he said: Mamma wanted
you to be sue to put me in your room
to sleep, for I might want a drink Of
something; and Iguess she thought you
had better leave the light burning 80 I
could see to go to Sleep It was guilt
that made Dicky afraid; and con-
science was SO busy that he could not
rest after he was in bed. He at first
declared that the pillow was hard; and
when auntie shook that up be said he
was hungry. Aunty, still ready to
humor him, brought him a nice slice of
cake. OF this he took few mouth
fuls, and then burst into tears. ssOh,
auntie,' he sobbdd, 81 runned away.
Take me home want to see mamma
and Bessie, and sleep in my crib. >
Vgy soon the naughty childs clothes
were put on again, and he and auntie
started for his home. There was Joy
in his parents hearts, for they looked
in vain for their little lost one, and
were ready to give up in despair when
he arrived. Penitent Dicky made all
sorts of promises of amendment tina
night; but mamma whisperingly said
"Little one, God alone can help you
to be obedient and good, and He will
help you if you ask Him.1-Good

The Story Of ALTA

7 News comes from Richmond, Va,
giving a history Of the family and an
tecedents of q beautiful end unfortp-
nate girl who shot herself in Fifth av-
enue, New York. Her real name, it
appears, was Minnie Roane, and she
belonged to one Of the most promi-
nent families in King William county.
Her parents were related closely to the
family Of Hon. VIM. Roane, q former
governor of Virginia, and her grand
uncle was Judge Of the state court Of
appeals and at one time . United
States senator. Unfortunately, her
mother died while herself and . sister,
Belle, were quite young, and the two
beautiful girls were left without the
tender care and watchful guidance ofa
mothers love. Six years ago the two
girls ran away from their home, with,
50 the dispatch says, the avowed in
tention Of leading = life Of shame.
They were pursued, captured, and
brought back to their home, whore
they were placed under the closest sur-
veillance. They managed to escspe
again, however, and entered houses Of
ill-fame in Richmond. Minnie left
there nearly three years ago and went
to St. Louis, subsequently going 10
New York. Her history is already
known, and its tragical climax has
shocked the community. Zone grief
doth tread upon anothers heels, and
following the death Of the unfortunate
Minnie intelligence comes that her sis
ter, on learning Of her suicide, threw
herself from window in Baltimore
and was instantly killed, and that her
brother took chloroform, from the
effects of which he died. A nd and
terrible story, indeed, of blightsd
lives, and willfnlness, and wrong. Nay
not many lighthearted girh draw .

gifted sisters, and be warned in time
from the rock Of sin, against which

The Palmyra Palm.

The Palmyra palm { (Bordssss J7abcli-
t5rmis) is the most common species Of
palm in India, growing in many dis
tricts spontaneously and in others be-
ing extensively cultivated. In the
island Of Ceylon vast forests are COM
posed Of this tree. It is one of the
fan-palms; and, at the height Of from
twenty-five to forty, or even sixty feet,
bears q magnificent crown Of leaves,
each about four feet long, with stalk
of the same length, and from seventy
to eighty rays. The tree furnishes
many valuable products for the use of
the natives, such as fruit, wine, oil,
thatching, cordage and timber but
one of the most important Of the sub
stances yielded by It is a material for
writing. From time immemorial the
Hindoos have used the leaf of the
Palmyra palm as a substitute for pa
per; and much Of their most precious
literature has been recorded upon it.
The long, smooth, polished spaces
between the rays are excellently
adapted to the needs Of the writer or
graver, and are very durable. In
making up q book the narrow, straight
slips are pierced with hole in the
center, through which string Is
passed, and thus the pages or strips are
hung together. Many of the sacred
/ books Of the Hindus have been made
in this way and have borne very rough
usage for many centuries. The writ
ling is executed with sharp iron STYLE
and n engraved upon both sides Of til,
page. In some parts Of India palm
! leaves still serve the purpose Of paper
and letters written upon the slips, ant
afterwards neatly rolled together, ar
frequently sent through the postoAices
: This is especially the case in Orissao, u
, Gond country, and IN the south part 9
India. In writing the style is held il

The Jew Of Wilma.

In the advance OF the French against
Russia, a colonel, strolling in the su-
burbs of wilma, heard cries of distress
from house, and entering to ascer-
tain the cause, he found four soldiers
engaged in plundering and ill-treating
an aged Jew and young girl. The
marauders, not being inclined to re-
linquish their prey, proceeded to blows;
but the colonel, who was an excellent
swordsman, laid two of his assailants
dead ON the spot, and drove the other
two from the house severely wounded;
he himself received slight wounds, and
a ball grazed his cheek. On the re-
turn of the remnant of the French
army, oppressed with fatigue, want,
and disease, the worn-out soldier, in
rags, sought the dwelling of the Jew,
and with difficulty was recognized,
SO completely changed was his ap-
pearance. The Jew completely fur
nished his wardrobe, a-d contrived to
send him through the hostile armies
to France. At peace, the colonel was
obliged to retire on a miserable pit
lance, which an aged mother and sister
shared. He had forgotten the Jew of
wilma, when one evening, in the
spring Of 1915, a man called at the
humble abode in the surburbs of Paris.
and having satisfied himself as to his
identity, placed in his hands packet,
and vanished. On opening it, the
colonel found bills, on . banker in
Paris, to the amount of $4,000, with
the following note" He whose
daughter you preserved from the most
brutal treatment, whose life you saved,
and whose house you protected from
plunder at the risk Of your existence,
sends you an offering of his gratitude;
the only return he requires is, if ever
you hear the Jews condemned, you
will say that one Of that race knew how
to be grateful" The old Jew died at
Vienna his daughter, the heiress o1
his immense wealth, the largest por
ton of which was in French funds
visited Paris; it was natural she should
| seek the brave man who had preserved
her from the worst Of fates, and witt
no common emotions he. found thu
young girl he had protected now /
blooming and beautiful woman, ant

a wife. With her hand he received

we may except those who have attended
from mere curiosity, as they would
have gone to hear . famous singer or
actor or speaker of any sort, and as
they actually thronged the ministrar
tions Of Porteous before his collapse.
The religious classes have filed the
rink and crowded the unconverted out,
50 that even Mr.. Moody himself has
complained and protested against the
appropriation by the saints of what
had been designed for sinners. But i
is q question, after all, if the matter
has not settled itself far better than it
could have been settled by anybody
beforehand. Really, most Of the reli-
gious apathy and coldness and infdel-
ity of our community can be traced
back directly to the worldliness and
immortality Of church members and
clergymen. 1t is the actual selfshnes
and vice and dishonesty and rascality
Of professors Of religion that have
brought the churches into disrepute,
and even shaken the confidence Of
thousands in Christianity ITSELF If
Mr.. Moody has done anything to bring
back backsliding church members, and
reform the loose ways and bad practices
of professors, and take the can't and
pretence and Phariseeism out of the
men who pay enormous pew rents out
of money they get by cheating the
government or robbing the poor, he
has rendered q far more important
service to the community as well as
the churches than though he could
count mis- converts by the hundred.
Amy revival of religion that amounts
| to anything must begin with those who
have been converted once, but have
lapsed into irreligious states and ways,
Reviving implies q previous life. Il
is a renewal of what has already
begun. It is the awakening Of what
has sunk into stupor or fallen asleep
Were the actual members of ou1
churches truly revived, so that they
lived up to the level of their belize
and professions, this would be the mos
religious community on earth, an6
three quarters Of the unconverted
/ would be convinced by the living argu
ments and won by the irresistible at
fractions Of the men and women whit
show the truth and beauty and superiol
claims Of religion bytheir conduct AMI
characters. We repeat that if Mr.
Moody really revives religion in tn
minds and hearts of the profeRedly re
Igious, 50 that they will actually liv,
its precepts and exempGfy its spiri
and teachings, his revival win be |
great public blessing, even though b
does not make q single convert no
! win one new recruit to the church.
