Prayer.

The Bible gives us brief history of some
individuals, classed among the people of
God, whose religious character as recorded
seems so imperfect that were it not the fact
that their names are mentioned as the chill
dren of God in the writings of inspired men
we should be in doubt as to their being such.
Among these Samson and Lot may be
reckoned. Making due allowance for the
rude, uncultivated age in which Lot lived,
we can hardly reconcile many facts in his
history with the fact that he is called
"righteous Lot" We sometimes almost
wonder why the life of such man should
be recorded in the Bible. Yet were it not
written, how great would be our loss. Like
the dark background of the canvas which
presents objects in the foreground of the
picture in such perfection, so the history OF
Lot presents TO us the wonderful exhibition
of the character of God, which Christians
in all ages of the world, so much need
With the history of Lot we have combined
that of Abraham and his intercession for tn,
| cities of the plain. In this we see one Of

hardly believe. Yet how fully are we taugh

"Maiden Ladies'"

We read with much interest the article
in the Herald of April 10th, in regard to the
"Over Thirties." 1t brought vividly to
mind some of the so-called sold maids "
with whom we have been personally ac-
quainted-women with magnanimous souls.
We never could call them "old maids -
never; they are the type of everything that
is noble and beautiful in woman.
One that we recall among our acquaint-
ances in the club " was left in early life
with the care of young brother. Need we
say that she was faithful to the trust i'm
posed upon her ? She taught in the public
schools, and toiled early and late to educate
this brother; she sent him to Harvard, and
when friends demonstrated, urging the neces-
sity of saving something for a home for her
self, she replied, When Charles education
is finished he will make me home" The
years went on. Attwenty-two he graduated,
and few months after married an Irish
woman over forty with nothing to recon-
mend her but a fair of sparkling black eyes;
and the home that faithful sister thought to
share she was forever shut out from.
Another, whom we met in Minnesota, is
watching over the declining years of an in
valid mother. Some one is waiting for her,
and we asked, "What if he should become
tired of waiting Z" Her answer came clear
and sweet as her own self "That would
not deter me from doing my duty"
We met one in Macon, Ga, few weeks
since, from the East-a godly woman, who
is doing noble work among the freedmen.
She has sister and brother in the mission
field, and she herself is giving her own life
to the work. This is but few out of many
we have known, aud every one of them
might have been married if she had wished.
Now, some of your readers may say this
was written by one of the "fraternity.'
They are wrong, for | have been married
some years but honor those women who
with great self-denial take up the burden of
| life alone. God bless them Some of the
best women have ever known have been
single women.-ZiOn's Herald.

English Mothers.


1t is a marked feature of social life in
England, and certainly one of its special
charms, that mothers and daughters are so
universally seen together at home. Not
only is the mother the first lady to whom
you are introduced at the house where you
visit, but she is mistress of the ceremonies
throughout; not only does she preside at
the dinner-table, but at the evening party
she sits as queen. Whatever may be your
first impressions of such an arrangement, il
it happens that your sympathies are with
the younger ladies, you will very soon learn
to think that the mothers absence would be
very sincerely regretted by the daughters.
AS picture, all must admit the arrange
ment TO be perfect. The portly form and
matronly dignity of the mother are an
exquisite foil to the youthful beauty and
maidenly coyness of the daughters. And
| you will find nothing to mar, but every.
thing TO enhance the interest of the pic
ture. The mothers presence never seems
to operate as an unwelcome restraint
Between her and the daughter you will
mark the most joyous, playing, loving free
dom, without the sacrifice of little mater
nal dignity and authority on the one hand
or graceful duty on the other. 1t may bt
said of English families generally, tha
these two things are eminently characters
tic, namely, uniform parental authority, anC
the most charming freedom of intercourse
between parents and their children.-Hom
Guardian.

Write TO Him.

Johnny has gone to Kansas. His father
has bought farm there. The family moved
last week. The dear boy, he came around
to bid you goodbye before he left. He had
been in your class over three years. Not ex-
actly the "good boy of the school, he was
an affectionate fellow, and could feel the
force of a truth. The habit of daily pray.
ers as taught him in early childhood, he has
never lost. You know that religious con-
siderations have often deeply affected him.
What will be the effect of this complete
change of associations 2 What will become
of your influence over him2 When you
seemed to give him your friendship, was it
{" for keeps" or an affair of convenience
Don't lose the hold you have on him You
have a certain advantage for helping him
into downright Christian character, such as
no one else has. That is, you have been, in
the school, more than any one else, his relig
ious instructor. He confdes in you. You
are his friend. Write to him. lie will
keep your letter. 1t will last, and be sort
of consciousness with him, daily. And
when you write to him, don't get on stills.
Be natural, genial, direct 1t will win no
favor to mince matters. There is nothing
about his new life, at his new home, which
would not be of interest to you and yet,
of course your greatest interest reaches out
toward his choosing the good part, and do
ing it now. His father has new farm to
break" and cultivate into fruit bearing
and beauty; so has he. Only his farm he
carries about within him. In short, you do
want him to be Christian boy. Well, you
may as well tell him so, straight and square.
You would be glad TO have him answer your
letter. Perhaps he will; perhaps he will
not. If he should not, it will not be proof
that it has not done him good. We know
of young fellow who got letter from an
older cousin. 1t was good, long letter,
kindly, frank, fair and square pleading
with him to be Christian. 1t was not any
preachment, yet it was full of honest rea.
sons, stated in kind, manly, clear way, fit
to persuade any one who was inclined to do
the right thing. The letter, so far as we
know, never was answered but it was not
forgotten. II never ceased to be one of the
influences affecting his mind. So it goes
a carrier.pigeon flying across the sky leaves
no trace behind Never mind, if only the
message do not fail of its destination. A
word more when you write to Johnny, fol
low it with definite prayer to God, for his
blessing. What if he get both, that and
your letter, at the same time.

Plato describes his imaginary good man,
covered with the opprobrium of crime, yet
meriting the rewards of virtue, he paints,
trait by trait, Jesus Christ. What prejudice,
blindness, or bad faith, does it require to
compare the son of Sophroniscus to the Son
OF Mary What distance between the two !
Socrates dies without pain, without ig-
nominy; he sustains his character easily to
the end If he had not honored such life
with death, we should have thought him
a sophist. They say Socrates invented eth
les but others practiced morality before he
taught it. Aristides was Just before Soc
rates described justice; Jeonidas died for
his country before Socrates taught the duty
of patriotism. Sparta was temperate before
Socrates praised sobriety; Greece abounded
in virtuous men before he defined what vir-
tue is. But Jesus--where did he find the
lofty morality of which he alone gave both
the lessons and example From the midst
of n furious fanaticism proceeds the purest
wisdom; among the vilest of the people ap-
pears the most heroic and virtuous simplic-
ity. The death of Socrates, TRANQUILITY phil
osophizing among his friends, is the sweetest
one could desire that of Jesus expiring
amid torments, abused, ridiculed, cursed by
a whole people, is the most horrible which
one could fear. Yes, if Socrates lives and
dies like philosopher, Jesus lives and dies
like God.-Jean Jacques Rousseau.

1t does not require brilliant people to note
where bread is needed and to give it, to feel
where sympathy is needed and to give that
also; nor to face a temptation and conquer
it; nor to do justly, and to love mercy, and
to walk humbly with God. Rather is it not
the habit of brilliant people to think that
the Lord will be greatly pleased with thou
sands of rams and ten thousands of rivers of
oil ? There is not single department of
Christian life or labor but can be success
fully achieved by those whom the world
recognizes otherwise than as brilliant. Is
there anything in the teaching of Christ
that would induce us TO believe brilliancy a
special requisite or even special advantage
to one entering the ministry? And yet
how many of us there are who think that
brilliant people are the Lords chosen ones.
Is it so we ask again. There are churches
that are losing rich spiritual enlargement
because they foolishly, yea, wickedy, i'm
agine that it is only smart ministers who can
gather the Lords harvest. When a man is
found, be he young or old, with or without
brilliant abilities, with the learning of the
schools or without it-when man is fonnd
who does Justly and loves mercy, and walks
humbly with his God, do we doubt that the
Lord will bless the labors of that man even
a hundred.fold here and with life everlasting
hereafter If we cannot work in sympathy
with such an one in the upbuilding of Christ's
kingdom on earth, then there must be some
thing selfish, and worldly, and sinful, in our
own hearts and lives.-Selecied.

How Not to Get the Local News.

The other day an old and respected cit-

last years subscription, took seat and re-
marked
al guess you needn't send me the paper
any longer; ! have Just subscribed for a
Philadelphia paper which suits me pretty

Here he handed us the paper for inspection.
We found il to be a neat looking sheet
handsomely printed, with a large engraved
head, and containing about forty-eight col
umns of miscellaneous reading matter.
"Fair looking paper" we remarked, as we
handed it back to him; "but did you ever

"And yet you give up a paper that con

The Interchangeable Birds.

There is something almost pathetic in the
fact that birds remain forever the same.
You grow old, your friends die or move to
distant lands, events sweep on and all things
are changed. Yet there in your garden or
orchard are the birds of your boyhood, the
same notes, the same calls, and, TO all intents
and purposes, the identical birds endowed
with perennial youth. The swallows, that
built so far out of your reach beneath the
caves of your fathers barn, the same ones
now squeak and chatter beneath the caves OF
your barn. The warblers and shy wood
birds you pursued with such glee ever SC
many Summers ago, and whose names you
taught TO some beloved youth who now
perchance, sleeps amid his native hills, nc
marks of time or change cling to them and
when you walk out to the strange woods
there they are, mocking you with their ever
renewed and joyous youth. The call of th,
high-holes, the whistle of the quail, tn,
strong, piercing note of the meadow-lark
the drumming of the grouse-how thes'
sounds ignore the years, and strike on tn,
ear with the melody of that Spring tim,
when the world was young, and life was al
holiday and romance.-John burroughs.
