A party of converts stood at the chan
eel rail in a Sandusky church ready to be
made members. One was a girl who had
been regarded as the belle Of the place. She
interrupted the ceremony by saying that
she desired to make confession. She
knew that she had been looked on as a
good girl, but she wasn't. She was
guilty Of a dreadful sin Of which she had
not been even suspected. This little
speech excited the curiosity of the con-
gregation to high degree She then
said that she had been married a year ::
that the ceremony had been regularly but
privately performed; and that she had
kept the fact a secret because she was
not ready to forego the fun of going into
society as an artless, unfettered maiden.
The husband stepped forward and cor
roborated his wife's story. They went
to housekeeping on the following day.

The Important Question.

VI ali loathsome diseases Catarrh stands pre-
eminent. 1t renders its victim as disgusting to
himself as to others. And the most huniliating
OF all is the consciousness that his presence is
offensive to those around him. If any disease
deserves the name of universal it is this Detetic
errors and the follies which Fashion imDoses
upon us tend to foster and disseminate it. To
the pitiful cry of its Victims Is there ann c,t,,e
for C0tQ37h? there is but one answer consistent
with Christian reason. God has never sent one
evil into the world for which He has not sent
the remedy. For the greatest of all spiritual
and moral evils, the Great Physician has pre-
scribed potent and never-failing remedy. He
has given explicit rules for the treatment and
preservation of the spiritual and moral man.
but He is silent in all matters relating to the
physical man. 1t would be an llnwarrantable
detractiOn from His benehcent character to sup
pose that He has afflicted the greater portion of
humanity with an incurable disease. The dav
of plagueSiS past The God Of Christianity is
a God of Love, of Mercy. His message is - good
will to all men," The earth and all contained
therein was intended by the Great Designer to
supply mans wants and surely he has no
greater wants than remedies for his infiImitieS
Science is rapidly proving that the earth is fitted
to supply mans uttermost need. New medicinal
plants are constantly being discovered and new
properties developed from those already known

CALLED BY THE ANGELS.

The farmers wife is sitting alone
In the dusk Of winters day,
While he hills the shadows fall,
And ovel he meadows gray,
Andthe car 8 OF many d busy hour
Steal lst from her heart away.
Her eyes have wandered through mist of tears
TO he Ghurch-yard under the hill,
Whel the snow, like the wings of brooding dow
Lies soft and pure and still,
And where her treasures, so long ago,
She laid at the Masters will.
And all |! how oft, as the days go by,
She starts, as her listening ear
Has almost caught on the passing breeze
Voices so sweet and clear.
90 It's the angels calling !" she thinks. All me!
1t is weary waiting here"
The farmer comes from his work at last,
In the dusk Of winters day,
And he sits him down by his faithful wife,
And she parts his locks so gray,
And looks in his face with a loving smile
That years steal never away.
And back again as her dim eyes turn
TO the hills where the shadows fall,
She thinks, My treasures are lying there.
But He has not taken GU
Since one is waiting beside me still
Till the angels voices call"
But the weeks are slow, and the aged two,
La the dusk Of many day,
Will watch the shadows come and go
Der the meadows cold and gray,
Ere they, at the Masters will may lie
Where their treasures are laid away.

The city of New York, which has been
the greatest school for financial educa-
ton in the country, can hardly be said
to have furnished single Secretary.
Hamilton was the organizer Of the de-
partment; but the city was not then
prominent in financial dealings. Spen-
Ger and Dix were appointed to act ad
interim until the time came for regular
appointment. Gallatin, who has gen
orally been set down as from New York,
did not become a resident until after his
return from the Client Peace Conven-
ton. Virginia, the mother of Presi-
dents, has not produced single Secre-
tary. The most of the Secretaries were
citizens of the "rural" States, where
foreign commerce was unknown, and
where the education and experience
necessary to financial mastership could
not be obtained.

knowing that when the loss of hair occurs, it
is generally from that part of the head where
the greatest heat is necessarily generated and
that animal fats by their nature induce heat
rather than alleviate it-truned their attention
and pharmaceutical science toward vegetable
oils; as the basis of medicament to promote
the growth and preserve the beauty of the hair.
The OLe10n cOcOS, or COCOANUT On. presented
itself most strongly, as possessing many prop

cept when exposed to heat) seemed for long
time to defy all efforts to render it available,
for popular use, in cooler climates. By scen-
titic selection of other ingredients, those which
will chemically combine with the oil have been
discovered, and they together have produced a
compound, which is unqualifedly pronounced
to be the best that has yet appeared.
In the form presented, this oil is permanently
deodOrized, and held in combination which
peculiarly adapts it for the toilet; BURNETT'S

Vanderbilt's Scriptural Way of Giving,

Methodist Bishop McTyeire, in SER
mon on Cornelius Vanderbilt, delivered
in the chapel of the Vanderbilt Univers-
ity at Nashville, gave the following rem
lniscences Of the Commodore's way of
glft-making After we had set on foot a
subscription to have copy made Of his
llfe-size and hfe-like portrait, that now
hangs on the walls-the original of which
is IN the main parlor of the New York
Central depot-he said "Never mind
II you want it, I'll see to that" After
the Trustees and faculty had set apart
his birthday for annual observance. and
instituted medal to animate and grace
the contests Of the day, he said to me
That ought not to fall on you. What
will it cost to endow medal?" And a
few months ago received by express
three bonds Of $1,000 each, at I per
cent, to endow that medal, one in each
OF the four departments. In June last I
visited New York for few days, on some
business connected with the university.
and to pay my respects to him in his
affection, and to his family. On taking
leave to come home. he remarked that it
would likely be our last interview in this
world-he had hoped to visit us here,
but that must be given up now-sent his
regards to the Trustees and faculty and
to the students wished that the institu-
ton might prosper and do good-and,
still holding my hand, paused. "Could
you not put off leaving for one day?" [
replied that no urgent matter required
me to keep my appointment in leaving
just then. if his wish were otherwise
" My purpose has been to add $500, 900,
making out the million. I have perfect
confidence in my son I know he will
carry out my wishes, but there's no tell
ing what may happen from outside to
delay and hinder, SO you had better take
it along with you. If you will defer
your trip till tomorrow, we can have the
papers fixed up" That was the only
time the subject of money was mentioned
during visit of days. In the spring of
1872, when our publishing house was
being rebuilt, was told to draw on him
for 81 900, and to say nothing about

MARRIED But NO WIFE.

There has been an Interesting case of
IN lrrled but no wife" before the. SUI
nreme court at Boston. Thomas j. Her
I1ng, widower with five children, fell
in love with Miss Althea Buffers i'll 1871,
prop osed and was refused some half
dozen times, and finally got her consent
by threatening to blow his brains out.
But Thomas indiscreetly boasted Of his
conquest, and Miss Buffers broke the
engagement. Then there was another
long series of proposals ana reiusals,
until the young woman refused even to
see him. Then Herring wrote a long let
ter fixing the hour Tor his death, and
told her 10 be at home to hear the news,
but discreetly sent friend TO plead for
an interview, which resulted i'll her
marrying him secretly in April, 1872.
Sne repented OF 1t as soon as 1t was
done, and compromised by agreeing that
they should not live together as man
and wife for six months, nor tell any
body. The result is that they have

there was neither error nor fraud the
petition could not be granted. The case
will probably be taken 70 the full bench
on exceptions.
