"COme, don't be so womanish- come

John took a neat wallet from his
pocket, and pulled out neatly folded
paper. ats here" he said, unfolding
the paper, and showing it to the boys.
They looked and read aloud:
''Enter not into the path of the wick

WHEN DARK CoMEs.-A little girl
sat at twilight in her sick mothers
room, busily thinking. All day she
had been full of fun and noise, and she
had many times worried her poor tired
mother.
ssMa," said the little girl, "what do
you suppose makes me get over my
mischief and begin to act good, just
about this time every night ?"
81 do not know dear; can you not
tell ?"
"Well, guess it is because this is
achen the dark comes. You know am
little afraid of that. And then, ma,
begin to think of all the naughty things
1 have done to grieve you, and that
perhaps you might die before morning
and so begin to act good"
"Oh," thought 1, show many of us
wait till the dark comes in the form OF
sickness, or trouble of some kind, be-
fore we begin to act good How much
better to be good while we are enjoying
life's bright sunshine, and then, when
the dark comes,' as it will, in meas
ure, to all, we shall be ready to meet il
without arr Wellspring.

The coronation of General Mcclellan
at Trenton in January next is to be SOL
emnized with much pomp and festivity.
Besides the Domestic Democracy, who
are making preparations for rally en-
masse, there promises to be very con-
siderable emigration of the Undismayed
from regions beyond the Delaware and
the Hudson. In the city of Philadel-
phia alone, more than 81 900 men have
enlisted in "Little Mac" clubs, and their
shining uniforms and snare drums will

to trust his luck there. He is like that

hours later, with the entire assets of the

would see them laid away in little
graves, and miss from my life hence
forth all their sweetness and all their

Mrs. Mary Clemmer has an opinion
as to noses. She says that Stanley
Matthew's nose, slender and rather
fiat, is not the Nose of Power. 1t will
never cleave his way to eminence, like
that of Evarts, for example. Senator
Don Cameron, Mrs. Clemmer describes
as being about six feet high and of ex-
ceedingly youthful aspect. Like nearly
all the men from Pennsylvania, he is
"sandy"-hair, eyes and skin all of a
color. He has the deep-set, canny eyes
of his father, with much finer and
stronger features. His head is high
above his ears, with intense perceptive
faculties. AS for the nineteen ear-Old
daughter who presides over Senator
Cameron's household, she is of COM
handing stature, a perfect Juno in face
and form. She superintends the educa-
ton of her five brothers and sisters,
attends state dinners, and sits with dig
nifty at the head of her fathers table.

e A singular question of inter-pro-
fessional courtesy came up before the
Vevay (Ind.,) court few days ago. A
physician sued his minister for medical
attendance, and the defence brought
forward the plea that it was customary
for physicians to attend ministers fam
lilies without compensation, and that in
this instance the doctor promised to
make no charge. The latter point was
established by evidence, and it also ap-
peared that the doctor sent in his bill
for $95 out of revenge because the min
ister's daughter wouldn't marry him.
The clergyman got his case.

- Mr.. Sturgeon, the great London
preacher, says of Joseph Cooks lee
lures "These are wonderful lectures.
We bless God for raising up such a
champion for His truth as Joseph Cook.
Few could hunt down Theodore Parker
and all that race of misbelievers as Mr..
Cook has done. He has strong convie-
tons, the courage of his convictions,
and force to support his courage. In
reasoning the intidel party here met
their match. We know of no other
man one-half so well qualified for the
peculiar service of exploding the pre-
tensions of modern science as this great
preacher. Some men shrink from this
spiritual wild-boar hunting, but Mr.
Cook is as happy in it as he is expert
May his arm be strengthened by the
Lord of hosts! !"

The Reason for It.

Jennie June, in one of her gossipy
letters, undertakes to explain why it is
that so many young women marry ell
derby men. She looks away from mon
ey-which has been so generally
brought into the calculation of such al
liances- the principal reason. The
young man of to-day, according to this
authority, is not the young man of fifty
years ago he is not thoughtful, sober,
painstaking and conscientious he lives
at club, has no love for home life, nor
desire to build up character and repu-
tation as man and citizen; his ideas
of life are bounded by the theatre and
the dOings of his little set, and in too
many cases his ambition is to own a
racer, and be on intimate terms with
the ballet. Naturally, mothers shrink
from intrusting their daughters to such
youths as these, even if they have the
opportunity, and are better pleased to
bestow them on older men-men who
know how little of real value there is
in the temporary excitement of pleas
ure who have, perhaps, been married
once, and have learned to value home
and the guarantee it affords for perma-
nent happiness.

The New CHAPLAIN--AN Ex-SHoEMAKER
SELECTED BY THE House OF REPRESENTA-
| TIvEs.--1t is stated by Washington CORE
spondent that the venerable Or. John Poi
sal, chaplain-elect OF the House of Repre-.
sentatives, was once shoemaker In Mar
tinsburg, W. Va, and studied theology
while working on his bench. He has passed
his fiftieth year in the ministry OF the Meth
odist Church. and is q fine representative Of
the rugged, self-educated, and old-time cir
cult workers Of that denomination. He
was formerly pastor in New York,
and was connected for years with
the religious press. An interesting
story is related OF the conversion of
Congressman j. Randolph Tucker, OF yir-
ggnia, by means OF powerful sermon
preached several years since by DR.. Poisal.
Mr.. Tucker is said to have been IN avowed
skeptc previous to hearing the eloquent
pleading OF the old circuit-ridcr, and in the
recent contest for the position OF chaplain
the aged minister had no warmer advocate
than the noted Virginia representative. DR..
Poisal is almost entirely blind. He is said
to know the Bible and Methodist hymn
book almost entirely by heart, his want OF
eyesight being compensated for by won
derful memory and studious habits. He IS
said to be exceedingly sensitive about his
defective sight, and has performed remarka~
BILE feats OF memorzing to conceal it.-Ne,o
