lnromantic Miss Braddon.

Mary Elizabeth Braddon. the author
of innumerable sensation novels, now
Il, is portrayed as stout, blowsy, and
prosaic-look ing as any ale-wife III Eng
land. Romantic though ner stories be,
she Is the incarnation Of the unroman-
tic in face and figure, and would never
be suspected of the remotest connec-
ton with literature. Her conversation
is said however to contradict her looks,
for she talks very brightly, and has i
pleasant, wcll-modulated voice, us so
many Of her countrywomcn have. Her
father, Henry Braddon, was i solicitor
in London, where she was born, and
where she early eyinced her scribbling
propensity by contributing to the news
papers and magazines. At 3D. she
wrote comcdictta, the Loves Of
Arcadia,' which was brought out ut
the Strand Theater, though without
marked success. She also published
two volumes Of poems, but gained no
special reputation until She produced,
in her twenty-sixth year, Lady Aud
ley's Secret" Since then her novels
have been put in active demand, and
she is reputcd to have rendered herself
handsomely Independent by the pro-
cecds Of her pen. Lady Audley's
Secret, u" Eleanors Victory" Aurora

sold by tens of thousands. She edits

THE HIDDEN POWER.

The measure of the power of church
in the community is not the eloquence
of its preaching, nor the attractiveness
of its music, nor the numbers that throng
its sanctuary-it is the amount of godly
living which it brings to bear upon the
life of the world. The great need of the
church to-day is not that more Joseph
Cooks should defend it against the at
tacks of scientific infdelity. not that
score of Moody's should 60 from city to
city drawing the masses to their taber-
nacles-tbe grandest boon that could be
given to the church would be that every
church-member should really live the
gospel he processes. What We need is
revival of that spirit that sent early
Christians everywhere preaching the
word, that made them count not their
lives dear, that caused CELSIUS and others
to sneer at the fact that the most litter
ate and vulgar of mankind were jealous
preachers of the gospel, that enabled
Justin Martyr to write, 1--WE can point
out many, who, from overbearing and
tyrannical men, have been changed as
by victorious power, when they have
seen how their neighbors could bear all
things, or observed the singular patience
of their defrauded fellow travellers, or
come to be acquainted with Christians
in any of the other relations of life" 1t
was the resistless might of Christian liv-
| ing that overbore the philosophy of
Greece, and proved more than match
for the prosecuting power of Rome. And
Christian living has the same resistless
might still. Let the churches be swept
by spirit that is willing to suffer the
loss Of all things for Christ, and mater
ialistic philosophers would melt away in
its presence, and neither intemperance.
nor corruption, nor heathenish supersti-
tions could stand before its onward march.

TOO LIGHTLY ESTEEMED.

And why, may we not ask, does God
permit the socialists and infdels of Eu-
rope to invade our land as locusts and
hornets, destroying all that we deem
sacred The answer is easy. All these
things have been too lightly esteemed by
US, and now we who have been sowing
to the wind must get ready for the reap
ing of the whirlwind. God allows the
the evils to grow and mature which
Christians have disregarded. What ad-
equate influence have we been exercising
to educate the Ignorant and reform
the vicious. the dangerous classes of
our cities and villages? And can we
then wonder that bad has steadily
been growing worse when we were
doing nothing to make it better /?
There is power in the gospel to meet
and master every device of bad men, if
only Gods people have faith to take
hold of Gods strength, which abides in
the gospel always ready for action whe n
prayer and faith call it into exercise.
No husbandry like spiritual husbandry
for the certainty and largeness of its
products. And no field becomes SO soon
and so hopelessly bad as the spiritual
field when neglected and given up to
the tares which the enemy SOW when
men sleep. If we neglect the bad at
home, they will become the instruments
whereby God will punish our sin. II
we neglect the heather. they to will be
made Gods avengers. Hordes from the
East may come down ere long upon
Europe not only, but landing on our
Western coast may sweep over our land
as the Northern hordes in former ages
swept over Christian Europe. The neg.
lected classes at home and abroad are te
be the scourges of God, by whom oul
unbelief. apathy. and slefshness will be
severely punished.-Chistian Inteili.

HOME PIETY.

1t is in the family life that mans
piety gets tested. Let the husband be
cross and surly, giving slap here and
a cuff there, and see how out of sorts
everything gets The wife grows cold
and unamiable too. Both are tuned on
one key. They vibrate in unison. giving
tone for tone. rising in harmony or dis
cord together. The children grow up
saucy and savage as young bears. The
father becomes callous, peevish, hard
kind of two-legged brute with clothes
on. The wife bristles in self-defence.
They develop an unnatural growth and
sharpness of teeth, and the house is
haunted by ugliness and domestic brawls.
Is that what God meant the family to
be-he who made it place for Love to
build her nest in, and where kindness
and sweet courtesy might come to their
finest manifestations T? The divine can
be realized. There is sunshine enough
in the world to warm all. Why will not
men come out of their caves to enjoy it :?
Some men make it point to treat every
other mans family well but their own
have smiles for all but their kindred.
Strange, pitiable picture Of human weak
ness, when those we love best are treated
worst; when courtesy is shown to all
save our friends If one must be rude
to any let it be some one he does not
love-not to wife, sister, brother or par
ent. Let one of our loved ones be taken
away and memory recalls thousand
sayings to regret. Death quickens rec
objections painfully. The grave cannot
hide the white faces of those who sleep.
The coffin and the green ground are
cruel magnets. They draw us farther
than we would 60. They force us to re.
member. A man never sees so far into
human life as when he looks over wife's
or mothers grave. His eyes get won
drous clear then, and he sees as never
before what it is to love and be loved
what it is to iujure the feelings of thu
loved.

A writer in the Utica Herald says:
The present low price in hops is owing
to an increase in supply out of all pro-
portion to the increase in demand
The census reports show that the hop
crop of the United States was in 1910,
6196 bales; 1850, II, 1882 bales 1860,
$4,000 bales 1870, 1877, 293 bales.
Last year the crop was estimated at not
less than 100000 bales (of 200 lbs.
each), or 100000 lbs. The figures
show the crop doubling about once in ten
years, while the consumption of beer
has made no such increase, and for the
past five years of hard times has re-
manned nearly the same. Last years
product was a little over 100000
barrels. requiring not more than, TO-.
100000 lbs. of hops, while our crop Of
hops was not less than 40,00O.O00 lbs
Here were 100000 lbs. Of hops sur.
plus. Hops soon lose their strength
and favor, and the most of the crop
must be sold the year it is raised. II
is easy to see the chief cause of low
prices.
