Preaching hat net Practiclne'
In the death Of a we'll known st. Louis
cyprian, the papers Of that city find food for
beneficial reflection. She was the daughter
OF .well-known minister in Cape, Girardeau
County, Missouri, who, when misfortune over.
came her, cast her of. During all her public
life she pleaded piteously for restoration to
her fathers favor, but while preaching the
Word Of God, repentance and charity, he
turned deaf ear to her implorations, and
left her to die in neglect and shame. His con-
grcgation will listen to that divine with more
than ordinary interest, hereafter, when he
glowingly paints pretty hot hell.
