MAST is reproducing the words of the faith

have undergone no shrinkage in value. Un-
der his latest cartoon appear these words ad-
dressed to Congress that had no disposition
to trife with the public faith or tamper with
the currency: 81 saw with peculiar pleasure,
at the close Of the last session, the resolution
entered into by you, expressive of your opin-

one little child, in her innocence, be-
came the one spiritual guide OF the whole
camp.
Under Johns supervision, the church
planned by the parson went up, though
there was no minister, while John HIM
self, with the help of little Lily, plant
cd vines at the rough porch, and flow
ers on the dead minister's grave. :.
How he watched the child! How his
heart softened as, in her simple Ian
guage, she talked of heaven. When
she lay sick OF fever, the man put up
wild, fervent prayers for the first time
in his life. When she recovered, ne
sent a hundred miles for a minister to
come and have public worship, to sig
nalize his sense of Gods great mercy.
And Lily never wanted for care or
love, or money, after that. John Bray
was "father," and Lily was "daugh-
ter" and great reformation was
wrought for all time, and l believe for
all eternity, in the character Of John
Bray, the "wickedest man in our camp"

Russian Cheese.

An article of diet of almost universal
consumption among the poorer classes
in Russia is the variety of homemade
cheese known as Tworog," OF when
more than 1900, 900 pounds are sold an
nually in St. Petersburg alone. Its
mode of preparation is very simple.
Sour skim milk is placed over night IN
a warm oven, and poured the next DAY
upon sieve, where it is allowed to re-
main until all the whey is run Off. Inc
curd is then packed tightly in a wooden
vessel, and covered with lid made 10
fit exactly within it. On this heavy
weights are placed so as to keep up,a
constant pressure on the mass OF curd'
and the top of the vessel is filled WIN
cold water, which is frequently renew
ed. Tworog cheese is, in fact, nothing
more than hard pressed curd. In soe
northwestern and southern governments
of the empire it is often made from
sleeps milk, and in Bessarbia a suPe-
rior quality, made from the whole MIX,
is prepared, which possesses far oeI'er
keeping properties than the ordinary
sort, and which is exported in CONSIDER
able quantities to Wallachia, MoldaVia
and even to Austria. Dd''y-

Small Beginnings.

Men are simply planted here: plant
ness of growth, but planted to be trans
planted. Here we begin to live moral
iy: that is all. A few, by reason of
their advantageous position, spring up
quickly, grow fast, and exhibit to a
goodly degree spiritual fulness. But
where there is one full-grown tree in
the forest, there are beneath its branch
es thousand reeds; and if we could
only gather up the mold, and sort the
life-germs out, and give each good To-
cation, proper attention, and time
enough to develop in, the whole earth
would not be vast enough to hold the re-
sultant growth.
God can do just this. There is not a
single germ of possible spiritual life,
buried we care not where, that is not
noted of God. He sees not alone the
great moral Examinations in our world,
but the smallest point of emittent radi-
ance is perceived of him. If there is a
spark of heavenly flame in us, he knows
it. Our desires are known to him; our
repentances all are seen. Not the least
movement of moral growth in our hearts
escapes his attention.
Nor does he look at the measure Of
our lives as we look at it. What, for
instance, as regards length, is our life
to him? To us it seems long. Seems
it So to him? To US it seems adequate.
Does it seem adequate to him? Is good
ness to man in his eve rs fruit rounded,
full and fair? Or is it rs 4 seed, as a
germ, out of which in the eternities full
ness of proportion and vast fruitage
shall come?
Here is the hope, then-the hope of
small beginnings, the hope which Is ever
connected with actual life, however I'M
developed. The mother looks - her

Well Known Americans In London.

"Grace Greenwood " in recent let
ter from London describes a pleasant
party given few weeks ago in Euston
Square by two accomplished and beau
tiful American women-fast friends
Mrs. Laura Curtis Billiard and Mrs.
Louise Chandler Moulton, at which
many literary folk were present, among
them "Miss Kate Field, looking strong
Ell and younger than she did two years
ago. Mrs. Moulton herself shone re-
splendent, smiling fright childly,' or
blushing celestial rosy red at compli.
ments on her divine toll as poet, and
diviner toilette as a woman of fashion,
on her gift from Paradise and gown from
Paris. Mrs. Francillon, the wife of the
novelist, was there. She is a singularly
fascinating woman, with fine dramat-
ic face, and is delightful singer. Her
clever husband was also present, as was
Mr.. Hepworth Dixon, Philip Marston,
the young blind poet, our 7. w. Hig-
ginson, and the wild and hayward >
poet of the Sierras, Joaquin Miller, who
is as popular in English literary society
as ever, and who has very properly
grateful love of England, which has been
to him more golden land than Califor-
mia. There, too, was the handsome
and manly Julian Hawthorne, lowered
with double inheritance of genius-ar-
tistic perception and poetic sensibility
But if certain American authors
are reasonably popular in London, Ger
tain American singers are taking its
world of fashion and art by storm. To
say nothing of the rival queens of song,
Patti and Albani, there is charming lit
tie Minnie Hauck, who is mounting up
into the heaven of fame like lark. She
is not only delightful singer, but re-
markably good actress. Valera, who
also sings at her Majesty's, is also, am
told, an American. Miss Thursby, who
only lit here on her flight Parisward,
and sang two or three times, delighted
all who heard her by her 'profuse strains
of unprecedented art and by her
sweet, fresh, womaly manner and pres
ence. The popularity of the great bal
lad-singer Antoinette Sterling is new
every morning and renewed every even
ing with the power of her grand, tri-
umphant voice, which is the natural,
untailing outcome of profound, emo
tiOnal nature"

JOHN BRAY AND HIS "KID."

"She will be here in week." muir
INJURED Arthur Coggshall, as he looked
up from his writing; "she and my little
Lily-God keep them till they arrive
safe, hope, and happy"
The news spread through the camp.
"Parson's wife and kid are coming"
said one rough fellow to another, run
ming his fingers through his heavy
red beard. "There's not a woman or
baby round within a hundred miles.
We of the Roaring River'll be able to
brag-but | wish twas some other chap
than the parson."
The miner who spoke had the reputa-
ton OF being the worst man in camp,
rs well as the smartest. He was a
powerful fellow, over six feet tall, pro-
portionately broad-shouldered, and ex-
ceptionally though rudely handsome.
He lost no opportunity to counteract
whatever of good influence the "par-
son was exerting.
The parson, Arthur Coggshall, was a
slender, pale, gifted man. John Bray,
in his rude health and contempt for
"book-learning," of course looked
down upon him. lie never swore so
hard as when the minister was in hear
ing, and even the simple speech he
made about the parsons wife and kid
was full of blasphemy.
The minister sat at the door of his
miners hut, and looked along the
grand breadth and height of the Won
derful mountains, blazing now in count
less colors under the midday sun.
"Carrie will see this--Carrie will adj
mire that" he said, softly, to himself,
and then dared not think of it, for fear
some unforeseen trouble or accident
should mar his too great happiness.
What dreams Were his! The whole
camp of three hundred must, tposSible,
be led to become honest, God-iearing
men. Long before this, he had thought
it would be done but for John Bray
They had even collected the timber for
a church, but Bray had ridiculed the
whole undertaking, and the result was
the men were ashamed to continue it.
Every day, now, the miners expected
the "new LOT " they had heard were
coming tn the mines, aud the emigrants
were supposed 10 Oe Wllnln udN JOUR
ney. A few of the better sort took horses
to 20 and meet them. The minister
went with them. In less than two hours
the miners returned bearing the dead
body of the parsun, whose horse had
taken fright some few miles from the
camp and thrown him. His head had
StrucS q rock, and the good man died
without a groan.
"Parson's dead, eh?" said Bray, with
an oath, and running his great brown
fingers through bis buShy red hair.
"What's 10 become OF his woman and
kidd
"Nou know Us well as | 10, " WAS the
answer. For my part. I'd rather be

come than 20 meet the parsons wife and
