From the St. Louis Christian Advocate
What do Christian, or professedly
Christian, men mean, when they pray
for civil rulers that they may be wise
rule in righteousness that they
(the people, may lead quiet and peace
ful lives, in all goodness and honesty,
and then turn right about. and, be-
cause they "belOng to the party, /"
vote for drunkards, SRbbath-bTeakers,
libertines and debauches, to be mem
beers OF Congress, of the state Legisia-
ture, or to III important positions in
the Judicial or executive departments
of the experimentation which they
pray with so much devOutness
What do they mean? Is there
consistency between their prayers
and their practices? Or, are
their prayers insincere? Do they
expect the Almighty to give
them good rulers aud good gov
ernment, when they do what they
can, and sometimes do all they can, to
elect men who. as they know, neither
fear God, nor regard man, any further
than Is prompted by their own selfish
ness-regard men only as they may
be used for their own personal ag-
gTaudIsement, aud the attainment of
LueIr own selfish ends. Il such q
course ChrIsIIau-like? Is il for the
BEST Interests of the country? Is it
likely, la any way, 10 promote the
c1use of truth aud righteousness ?

Great souls are always Loyalty sub.
] mizsive to what is over them; only
mean souls are other wise.
| Courage, the commOnest of the yir-
tues, obtains more applause than dis
cretion, the rarest of them.
The man who would be truly rich
in worldly sense, need not increase
his fortune, but limit his desires.
The affection of parents is best
shown to their children by teaching
them what is good and true.
1t is estimated that there were H.
600 Hebrews IN the yellow fever dis
GrIcts of the South when the scOurge
began. The 250, 900 Jews in America
have Contributed TO their relief $50, =
900, an average of "a cents for every
man, woman and child.
There is a dark and also a bright
side to every providence, as there was
TO the fiery, cloudy pillar that guided
Gods people of old in the desert. Ma
ture looks upon the dark side and
calls it sorrow and sadness but faith
sees the sun dispensing the darkness,
and calls 1t by the name OF joy
BOnar.
Ii is good for man 10 be check ed,
crossed, disappointed, made to feel his
own Ignorance, weakness, folly; made
TO feel his need of God; to feel that,
in spite of all his cunning and self
confidence, he is no better eff in
dark forest, unless he has a Father in
heaven who loves him with an eter-
nal love ; and Holy Spirit in heaven
who will give him right judgment
in all things; and Savior in heaven
who can be touched with the feeling
Of his infirmities.-[CharIes Kingsley.

THE DAY.
Selections for Sunday Reading.
ANTE MORTEM.

BY MARGARET J. PRESTON.
How much would care for, could
know
That when 1 am under the grass or snow
The rRveled garment of lifes brief day,
Folded, and quietly laid away;
The spirit let loose from mortal bars,
And somewhere away among the stars,
How much do you think It would matter
then
What praise was Isvished upon me, when,
Whatever might be its stint or store
It neither could help nor harm me more!
If whilo 1 was toiling, they had bu!
To stretch a finger, would have caught
Gladly such aid to buoy me through
Some bitter duty L had to do;
Though when it was done, they said, may
be,
To others--they never said to me
The word of applause so craved, whose
worth
Had been the supremest boon on earth
If granted me then,) 1--WE are proud to
know
That one of ourselves has triumphed So"
What use of the rope if it be not flung
Till the swimmers grasp to the rock has
clung2
What help in comrades bugle-bla
When the peril of Alpine heights is past?
What need that the squirting pesn roll
When the runner is safe beyond the goal?
When whispered IL ears that are hushed
in death2
Mol no! if you have but a word of cheer,
Speak it while | am alive to hearl

Col. R. G. Ingersoll has sent the
following note to Miss Emma Alb
bolt: " Since I saw you years
ago with the guitar, your soul
has burst into flowers. You were a
chrysalis then. To-day when I
listened to your voice, | heard the
rustling of wings. Who could have
thought that the little bleak field
of your vast, drifted with snow, over
which moaned the wind, would at
last be covered with the blossoms Of
song? And yet all this, it may be,
was necessary. In your voice there
is mingled the pathos of the past
and the glad victory of the present.
You have suffered, loved and sue
ceedcd."

weincreased our stock of observation,
we saw that the other fellows sisters
labored under about the same disad-
vantages that ours did in the matter Of
throwing any kind of missile. Why
this marked and unnistakable differ
ence existed we never learned until,
at q somewhat advanced period, we
dove into book of physiology, and
learned that the clayicle, or collar-bone
in the anatomy of female is some
inches longer and set some degrees
lower down than in the masculine
frame. This long, crooked, awkward
bone interferes with the full and free
action of the shoulder, and that's the
reason why a girl can't throw stone.
The design of this sort of thing is still
unexplained to our entire satisfaction.
We have developed a pet theory OF
our own, however, that an all-wise
and benificent Providence, foresecing
that there would be rolling-pins, and
stove-hooks, and pot-lids, and hot
water in the world, set the w0man's
clavicle down q hitch or two for the
safety of men. It's lucky for all OF
us that women can't throw stones.

and their punishments: My sister
Em has got fellow who has been
coming to see her every night for
some time. Night before last, just to
have little fun, 1 went into the par
1or and crawled under the sofa on The
sly, and waited until he got settled,
aud just as he was asking her-if she
was willing-te become his dear part
ner for life, and trust to his strong
right arm for support and protection,
] gave three red-hot Indian war
whoOps and fired of an old horse
pistol that had borrowed of Sam
johnson, and my gracious, how that
fellow jumped up and scooted for the
door! He never stopped to get his
hat, bot tumbled head over heels down
the door steps. As for Em, she just
squatted right down on the floor and
screeched like blue blazss, till dad and
mother came running in with nothing
On but their night clothes and wanted
to know what the matter was. But
Em only yelled the louder, and kept
pointing under the sofa till dad got
down on his knees and saw me there,
and pulled me out by the hind leg
When he got me out to the wood shed
he wrapped me over his knee and went
at me with an old trunk strap, and I've
not got over it nicely yet.

Twenty-seven years ago lady now
living in Nashville, Tenn, deposited
500 IN a savings bank in this city and
had the amount regularly entered in a
bank pass-book. She subsequently,
lost the pass-book, and, believing that
she could not draw the money in con .
sequence of the absence of this evil
dence of her deposit, never again went
to the bank. In looking over some
old papers in this city not long since
the book was found, and efforts were
made to find out whether any of her
kinspeople were yet living, but this
proved unsuccessful. Letters were
accordingly written to her, and she
was informed that il she would send a
power of attorney to the bank she
would receive in return the 500 prln-
cipal and the accumulated interest
$500. She did as directed, and was
the happy recipient of an order for
1927 and few cents. The lady is now

THE WAY THEY DO 1T In KANSAS

THE WAY THEY DO 1T IN KANSAS
Some time ago, 3 farmer near Sena-
ca, KAN, employed man to assist him
on his farm in putting in his spring
crop. The man was q stranger, was
rather young and of manly stature,
and, by his willingness to work, sue
ceeded in making favorable impress
sion on the farmer. And not alone
upon the farmer was the impression
made. The farmers wife, who, by the
way, was young and pretty, was also
Pleased with the hired mans comely
person and pleasant manner. The
rest of the story is told by The st.
Joseph Gazette as follows: "a friend
ship soon sprang up between the two,
and this friendship soon ripened into
love. The wife, like sensible little
woman that she was in one respect, at
least, didn't meet him by moonlight
alone, and go into the details of "a
cruel husband, and 'incompatibility
of temperament and such sentimental
trash no, indeed, but she just went
to her husband one night and told him
che liked the hired man better than
she did him, and she was going to live
with him. Tne husband took the
matter very composedly also. He
didn't go off and get two big navy re-
volvers and VOW vengeance upon the
rude despoiler of his happiness, as in
jured husbands usually do. He told
his wife that he was perfectly willing
for her to live with her new-found
love and all would be well. So the
