hear Of men who have their names on
the church records who are in
their pews on the Sabbath day with
exemplary regularity; who never
turn the deserving poor away
empty handed who pay their hon
est debts and defraud no one in a
business transaction 4; who are kind
hearted, good neighbors, and in
most respects good citizens, but who
habitually violate one of Gods
commandments, and disregard
their conjugal VOWS. They,
judging from external appearances,
live pleasantlywith their families, and
in some instances actually swindle
themselves into the belief that a
knowledge of their crime rests alone
with themselves and their paramours
and that their moral character is
not seriously furnished.
But are their families as happy
and cheerful as they seem Is it
any wonder that the ruddy glow of
health is sometimes banished from
the cheek of the faithful wife, and
premature wrinkles furrow her
brow ? Through the infdelity of
husband, as dear to her as life itself,
a skeleton is kept in her closet, and
secret grief is cankering her very
heart-strings, robbing her of all
that makes life desirable and finally
of life itself.
We admit that it is delicate
question to deal with. It is not
always easy to tell what is the best
course to pursue. The object of the
churches is first to reclaim and re-
form. But where this can not be
done, then there is but one course
left.
We are not one of those who be-
lieve all we hear about the trans
gressions Of church members. But
we are convinced that the question
treated Of here, is one that demands
the prayerful attention of all good
people. There are certain vices
that are popular and growing, and
before the Church is able to accom-
plish all that it ought to accom-
plish the sanctuary must be unde-
filed. There must be boldness
and a vigor, and determination in
dealing with such vices that has not
been at all times displayed. AS
long as there are whited scpulchres
within the sanctuary who disregard
the laws of God and man, we may
expect vice to become popular with
those who make no pretense to
religion, and it will be in vain for
the churches to attempt reforma-
ton of the world.

Growing Plants in Moist Sponge

unwonted vigor during cold seasons.

haps it did not, for it was somewhat
eostly-but OF late similar device, on
a smaller, cheaper and at least equally
effective scale, has been tried and found
to answer satisfactorily in the growing of
winter hyacinths. The bulbs we~e
bedded in deep missions made in large
sponges, the latter closed snugly over
and round the bulbs, and then placed
IN appropriately shaped vases. Water
moderately warmed-,ay to CSC or TOO
was poured into the vase until it
reached about half the height of the
sponge. The bulbs began to sprout in
two or three days, and in about six
weeks the plants were as many inches
high, and continued to thrive until the
nowers came out, of unusually large
size and perfec; form. The sponge was
hidden after the first week or two by
sowing rape-seed upon it, the resultant
growth completely covering it with moss
like vegetation. From its porous warm
nature the sponge seems we'll adapted to

BIRDS OF PARADIsE.-The birds of
paradise join the graceful plumes of
the ostrich to the dainty coloring of the
sun-bird. Crests almost as largely de-
veloped as that of the umbrella bird
overshadow their beautiful heads; frills
as full as those of the hummirg- birds
fall down in metallic splendor before
their gorgeous necks. And if any
proof be wanting of the connection be-
tween the nature of the food and the
general beauty Of the plumage, it may
be found in the fact that the royalty
attired creatures are first cousins of our
own dingy crows and jackdaws but
while the crow seeks his livelihood
among the insects and carrion of an
English plowed field, the bird of para
disc regales his lordly palate on the
crimson and purple fruits which CLEAN
out amid the empowering foliage of
Malayan forests. -CornhiU Mu?azine.

The Day is Done.


The day is done and the darkness
Falls from the wings Of night,
As feather is waited downward
From an eagle in his flight.
see the lights Of the village,
CLEAN through the rain and tho mist,
And feeling Of sadness comes Ger me
That my soul caunot resist.
A feeling of sadness and longing,
That is almost akin TO pain,
And resembles sorrow only,
As the mist reese mbles rain.
Come read to ME some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling
And Danish the thoughts of day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors Of time.
For like strains Of martial music,
Their mighty the lights suggest
Lies endless toll and endeavor;
And tonight long for rest.
Read from some humber poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heart,
As showers from the clouds Of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start
Who through long days Of labor,
And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his s1ul the music
Ofwonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
The poem Of thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme Of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.
And the nights shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.

the writing telegraph. The writing

Waterloo and Woking, a distance OF
some twenty.six miles, and according

The instrument itself is too recent an
invention to have yet reached even an
approach to perfection, but the defects
made evident in practical working have
so far been remedied, and it is clear
that useful improvement will shortly
be available. One great advantage Is
that the instrument is quite automatic
at the receiving end, and does not re-
