MRS. FLANDERS'S CASE.
BY MRS. sALLIE A. RAMAGE.


Nobody ever connected the two circum-
stances; in fact. nobody, I imagine, ever
thought of them at all. They were of no
importance to any one but the women and
children, and they-well, they were too poor
to be of any consequence anywhere, except
In the sight of God. One night last fall
prayer meeting was in progress in large
down town church, and the prayers and
songs were so fervent and loud that the
sound floated out upon the street, and rag
ged, dirty woman stopped at the door and
listened. Getting a little closer to catch the
words that were more gently and softly
spoken, until when the congregation arose to
then half hidden in the corner peered out
on the scene. The room was warm and
pleasant, a soft carpet stretched from the
door to the altar. the seats were nicely
cushioned, and close by her hand was
the song book that was used in the
church. She was cold and ragged and
in every way a miserable looking creature,
and yet she enjoyed with keen pleasure the
ease and comfort of the place. She turned
idly, curiously the leaves, hunting for the
hymn that was announced catching q
glimpse here and there of familiar word or
phrase unseen and unheard since her child
hood. She bowed her head during the pray.
ers, but watched furtively the men who led
the devotions. She had heard something
like this when girl; she had repeated Our
Father, who art in heaven; she had said her
morning and evening prayers once, but that
was SO long ago that 1t was more like the
memory of dream than that of reality.
The minister's language she could under
stand, and il touched her heart. and losing
some of her faults and trespasses with every
word, the womsnliness, the purity of her
early life in measure returned and she de-
termined to do better" She was human
being, with hates and loves, with cruel and
generous impulses continually warning in
her heart, just like the men and women we
zee every day, passing and repassing them
on every avenue of earth. Once in awhile
they appeal to us in their struggles Some
times we lift them up. but generally we GO
by on the other side.
She went out into the darkness again as
he last words of the benediction were said,
che same outwsrdly, the same rags and dirt
and unkempt hair, but with little ray Of
light in the heart that had been 20 full Of
blackness and sin. This Christ who had
healed sinners, this tired and weary traveller
resting by the we'll and talking to the wo-
man of Samaria, would not turn her away,
she felt and believed with a timid trust that
was born Of her utter despair and her long
ng for something better than she had
known. There was one clean, white spot In
her heart, one place that the little ray Of
light shone upon with a clear, steady glow
her love for her children, the fstherless ones

laid eyes on. There was none of them
hifalutin' things about the bonnet. An we
sent it to her that very night. Now, in
meetin' next Sunday mornin' they all looked
at Miss Browns seat to see how the
new bonnet looked on her head. but she
WASH t there. After the prayer was over,
who should they see but Miss Brown a-com-
in up the aisle. a-holdin' her head higher
than kite. An do you suppose she had on
our new bonnet? No. indeed But she did
have one Of them black felt hats that come
way down over a person'Seyes an are all
with black hens feathers. 1t looked
a great sight wus than her old one. An the
meanest OF all was, next morrin', when old
Byer, the washwoman. came to do Miss Pip
kin's washin', she had on that very same
black silk bonnet that we had took sich
pains to make for Miss Brown.

clothing as ever, yet somehow she never
grumbled, nor quarreled, nor complained.
Her children were clean though their
clothing was ragged, and she kept them
closer TO her, as much as possible drawing
them from evil society and influences. Now
and then she could get days work, and
carefully she spent her wages, little or moth
ing for herself, but all for Matte and Willie.
She got discouraged, down-hearted, sad, but
she kept trying, kept praying, and God never
forgot to bless and save her. Her ambition
has been to get her children decently dressed
for Sunday, and slowly she is accomplishing
the task There is many dress, many
coat, many garments hanging up in closets
or tossed away in trunks that would protect
and warm them, but it is nobody's business
to hunt them up, nobody's business to ask
II they are needed, and the snow and the
cutting wind and cold bite and sting, and
that too is nobody's affair but the ones who
suffer. The church and the Sunday-school
are to unite in raising money to buy a new
carpet and a new organ and some handsome
chairs for the altar next month, and the bet
ter class of pupils are bringing their pennies
now to help.
Some nights Matte and Willie go to bed
hungry and cold, they lie awake shivering
and crying and their mother almost gives
up in despair. Do you blame her7
Sometimes she hunts all day for work
and goes home at night without cent. She
begs now and then few cold victuals. but on
principle many times she is refused; peo-
pie do not believe in encouraging begging"
II is beg, or steal, or starve-which is it best
to dor Though she does not know it, there
are kind hearts that will help her, willing
hands that will strengthen her. One of the
members of the church, who is not very de-
monstrative, nor prominent in speaking or
public work, who, in fact, is regarded by the
jealous as rather 'weak vessel" has heard
of the woman and her children, and quietly
has determined plan of permanent relief.
Not of spasmodic aims giving, but giving
what is better to an able bodied, honest man
or woman-honorable work, with fair wages
And yet. before this relief comes-before
the woman can earn enough to support her
what is her condition? She must try to get
work. Failing in this, she and her children
must beg or steal. We can not afford, say
public economists, to educate and keep a race
of paupers. We can not allow people to
steal, says private and public interest, and
we must not allow them to starve, says God.
Which must we follow?

A mighty realm Is the land of dreams,
with sleeps that hang In the twilight sky,
And welteTtng oceans and trailing streams,
Ihst giearn where the desky valleys lie.
But over its shsdowy border flow
sweet rays from the world OF endless morn,
ana the nearer mountains catch the glow,
And flowers IN the nearer delds are born.
The souls OF the happy dead repair
FROM tneir bowers OF light to that border
Aud walk In the fainter glory snere,
With the souls Of the living band In hand.
One calm, sweet smile, In that saadowy sphere
From eyes that open on earth no more
One warning word from voice once dear,
HOW they rise In the memory Der and o er.
Far OF from those hills that shine with day
And fields that bloom in the heavenly gales,
The land OF dreams goes stretching away
To DINNER mountains and darker wales.
There walk the specters OF guilty fear,
And soft, low voices that fioat through the
night
Are whispering sin In. the hopeless ear.
Dear maid, in thy girlhoods opening flowers,
Scarce weaned from the love Of childish
play;
The tears on whose cheeks are but the showers
That freshen the early bloom OF Mayi
Thine eyes are closed, and over thy brow
Pass thoughtfui shadows and joyous CLEANS,
And know, by thy moving lips, that now
Thy spirit strays In the land OF dreams.
Light hearted MAIDEN oh heed thy feetf
Oh keep where that beam OF paradise falls;
And only wander where thou mayest meet
The blessed ones from Its shining walls.
SO shalt thou come from the land of dreams
With love and peace 70 this world OF strife;
Shall lie on the path of thy daily life.

THE PRESS.


Great moulder of the public mind,
Stern monitor OF right and wrong,
Yet gentle the summers wind
Which softly wakes the Eolian song.
ssThe Pen is mightier than the sword
The Press il stronger than the crown,
And Mind enthron'd, earth's proudest lord
Must kueel before and sovereign own.
wakel wake to life the slumbering dead,
The heroes of the sword and pen!
OF those who fought and nobly bled,
Restore to life their deeds again:
Bring back from Sinai's mount Of fire
The prophet-ruler, stern and bold
From Judah = land the sacred Tyre,
And David's spear and harp of gold.
Restore again old Grecia's land,
Where Cadmus wrote and Homer sung:
And bring to life the Spartan band
And let their banners free be flung;
Me thinks hear the martial tread
OF Athens great and warlike son,
Such men as him are never dead,
The hero OF proud Marathon.
Come set your types, thou wonderous power;
Restore again the Roman throne;
Where virgil's pen enchained the hour
And Cesar dared not calm the throne;
Rouse Horace from his silent sleep;
And Romes imperial eagles sweep
From Indus to the German Rhine.
The German Rhinei that glorious land,
Where iirst thy power and might began
Which broke the strength of Rome's COM
mand,
And o'er the world enfranchisd man.
Rich are thy banks with verdant vine;
Thy daughters fair, thy sons are brave,
And wealth and fame as one combine,
And free thy banners proudly wave.
Come, deathless power, assert thy throne;
Command the wreath of flowers and gold,
And claim as right the laureate crown,
Which sword and fire assum'd of old;
BRING to thy feet thy men of might,
With Faust and AL thy noblest sons,
And set the types and shed their light
On fields OF fame like Marathon's.
-The Pen is mightier than the Sword"
The Press is stronger than the crown;
And man is greater than lord,
And knowledge richer than a throne.
Wake, wake to life thou wonderous power
The souls Of men who silent sleep,
And stamp on Time thy firm impress,
And call them from their slumber deep.
With such array behold the Press,
Proud emblem of the power of mind;
Before whom lords and kings confess
The sword is weak as summers wind.
The press, pure as the mountain s snow,
Stern monitor of right and wrong;
Stands stern as is the mountains brow,
Yet gentle as the summers song.

GRAFTON AND MORGANTO"S
RAILROAD.

The Grafton Sentinel says that num-
Der of the most prominent citizens OF
that place have quietly taken steps to or
ganize company to build narrow
gusge railroad across the country to
Morgsntown, distance of Is or 70
miles We had supposed the distance
between these two points to be greater
than is stated, and reference to
WHITES map of West Virginia rather
confirms our original impression. This
is intended to be an extension of the
Pittsburgh and Castle Shannon road,
which, 1t is expected, will completed to
Morgantown during next summer. 1t
is estimated that $4,000 per mile
will grade the road and furnish
the cross-ties, which amount ought all to
be raised by the people along the line'
leaving to the two towns of Grafton and
Morgsntown the task of securing the
means with which TO complete and equip
the road. The lands or either side of the
road will be benefited twice and thrice
$4,000 per mile; SO the owners of these
lands should not hesitate to furnish the
means in money, lands, cross-ties, labor,
&c. The whole of this money, and as
much more, will be spent right along the
line, SO that the most of it will come back
to the investors in direct way, and
much more in an indirect way.
We wish the enterprise success.

Otrs Hall Temperance Meetings

Saturday night there WAS not very
large audience present, but those who
attended seemed TO enjoy the meeting.
President Young had charge Of the
meeting, which WAS opened in the usual
manner, after which the following per
sons made snort and interesting speeches.:
6. w. Bags, Mort. Gregg, and Alex.
Thoburn. Mr.. Gregg is i'll deep earnest,
SO much SO that be cannot find words TO
express himself. The latter part of the
meeting was taken up IL sort OF debate
by two OF the speakers of the evening,
which was interrupted by person in the
back part OF the house, much to the con-
fusion OF the audience.
At the same hall, yesterday afternoon,
quite large audience assembled at the
hour for commencing the services, md
after reading il the scriptures and an
opening prayer, the meeting was opened
for remarks in behalf OF temperance and
Christianity. 1t was quite an interesting
meeting, more so than usual, some two
or three ladies Of the band relating some
OF tie incidents OF the women's crusade.
There were other remarks more OF de-
bstable, but profitable, character, and
then the meeting closed on account of
the lateness of the hour.
Last night another meeting was held.
President Yonng read q portion OF the
18th chapter OF St. Luke. Addresses
were made by Messrs. d. Young, j. d.
McFalI and II. +. Wells.
A meeting will be held IN OtLs Hall
on Christmas afternoon.

A New York Excise Commissioner
Disappears WiIh $4,000.

disappears Win c+OtOOO'
New YORK, December 22.-The vicin.
ity of police headquarters was startled
this afternoon by the announcement that
Excise Commissioner, Owen Murphy,
mad absconded with n large amount OF
excise funds. Murphy wss treasurer OF
the Excise Board and hsd full control Of
the finances and the account kept At the
German Exchange Bank. He was last
seen on Saturday morning. President
Norton and Commissioner Patterson
were looking for him all to-day, but
could discover nothing of him. Early
in the evening Mr.. Patterson drove
up TO police headquarters, but would not
divule % the object of his visit. Later
Norton arrived, aud the two were
closeted with each other. 1t WAS then
announced that Commissioner Murphy
had disappeared. A few minutes after
ii o'clock last mig the following gen
ersl alarm was sent out TO all the police
stations: "Arrest Owen Murphy, treas
urer of the Board OF Excise. lie has sb-
seconded with between $4,000 and SlO,-
600"
Murphy's transaction was explain ed
by Inspector Thorn in the following
way: be drew check for $4,000 and
had it certified at the German Exchange
bank; he went to another bank, the name
of which the inspector did not know, and
deposited the check and drew out $4,000
When the remainder was drawn is un-
known. Murphy was appointed by
Mayor Wickhsm, and with Presl-
dent Morton formed the Democratic ma.
iority IN the board.
