The Checker Board.

From the Detroit Free Press.J
Up to three evenings ago such
thing as checker board was never
known i'm Mr.. Grattan's house. He and
his aged partner have managed to pass
the long evenings very pleasantly, and
he supposed they were happy enough
until a friend from the East paid them
a fving visit and asserted over and
over again that the game of checkers
was not only all the rage there, but
that it served to quicken the perceptlve
faculties, enlarge the mind and render
the brain more active. After giving
the subject due thought Mr.. Grattan
walked down town and purchased
checker board, and when evening came
he surprised his good wife by bringing
it in from the wood shed and saying:
"Well, Martha, We'll have Il game or
two before going over to the social.
expect to beat you all to flinders, but
you won't care"
"Oh. of course not, and if | beat you,
whv YOU won't care" she replied.
They sat down and he claimed the
first move. She objected, but when he
began to grow red in the face she yield
ed and he led Off At the fourth move
she took man, chuckling as she raked
him in.
II don't see anything to grin at" he
sneered us he moved a man backwards.
"Here! you can't move that way J"
she called out.
81 can't ell ? Perhaps l never played
checkers before you were born"
She saw a chance to jump two more
men and gave in the point, but as she
moved he cried out:
.'Put them right back there Pve
concluded not to move backwards even
if Hoyle does permit it ~
She gave in again, but when he
Jumped a man her nose grew red and
she cried out:
II didn't mean to move there, l was
thinking of the social p
Cant help the social, Martha-we
must go by Hoyle."
In about two minutes she jumped two
men and went into the king-row, shout
ing:
"Crown him crown him I've got a
King"
"One would think by your childish
actions that you never played game
BEFORE" he grOwled cut.

''You do, Ell Some folks are awful

"And some folks amt !" she snapped
us her king captured another man.

''Don't talk back to me, Martha Graf

He looked down on the board, saw
that such was the case, and rOared out:

''I'll take my oath you have! can't
play against any such black-ieg prac-
tees ~
.'Who's a backlog? You not only
cheated, but you tried to lie out of it !"
Board and checkers fell between
them. He could get his hat quicker
than she could find her bonnet, and
that was the only reason why he got
out of the house first. A Woodward
avenue grocer found him sitting OH a
basket of cranberries at the door as he
was closing up for the night, and asked
him if he was waiting for his wife to
come along.
"Well, not exactly | stopped here

The, Church.

A church should be built to manifest
God. No committee is fit for its work
which does not aim at this first of all.
Whether plain as the stable in Bethle
hem or gorgeous as the Temple, it
should impress us by its appearance as
Gods house. Frescoed shams, holdings,
inches, statues, have no affinity with a
sound gospel. Cheerful yet subduing,
homelikei yet exalting,-tabernacle or
chapel needs an inspired architect.
''See that thou make all things accor-
ding to the pattern showed thee in the
mount.n - FRO. l.|it.'.fit.
The worship of the church should
seek the same end. Music, Scripture,
prayer, teaching, have but one object,
to draw the soul nearer to God. Even
social gatherings, glad with the "mirth
that no repentance draws" are not to
forget that they are in the palace of the
Great King, nor suggest any substitute
for spiritual joy as the delight of the
place.
There is no substitute for the sanctu-
airy. Bigotry may close it's doors, but
the early Christians consecrate a chapel
in the Catacombs, and Covenanter.
make cave or barn or sea-beach a tenn

not abundance, but lack, of spiritua
life. AS Professor Phelps pungentl,

has been expended by Sabbath break
ers upon Natures first temple.'n Spir
itual insight must be brought to Ma
ture; it will not be gained there. Ma

A Defence of the Chinese.
From the N. Y. Tribune.


Moy jim Kee is an intelligent China
man employed by Ii. C. Parkes, deal
er in Chinese and Japanese goods, in
Front street, in this city. He has been
in this country for several years, the
greater part of which time he has spent
on the Pacific Coast. He speaks the
English language very well, with only
Il slight fol eign accent. He is well edu
Gated, and is IL member of the Methodist
Episcopal church. Mr.. Parkes states
that Moy jim Kee is frequently consult
ed by importers in this city, and other
persons interested in Chinese affairs,
and as he is in close communication
with friends in China, he is well inform
ed of the feelings of his fellow-country-
men. Mr.. Parkes says that he is obliged
to pay Moy jim Kee good salary to
retain his services, as he is sought after
by other houses in the trade. A num-
Der of Methodist gentlemen in the city
have formed plan to send Moy jim
Kee to Drew Theological Seminary,
with view of making him mis-
sionary.
When asked yesterday for his views
on the Chinese bill, Moy jim Kee said
~ think it great shame that we should
be singled out as nation to be degrad-
ed and insulted in this manner. We
did not want to come here. The United
States sought to enter into treaty rela-
lions with China, and we opened our
ports to this and other nations against
our wishes; but we have lived up to
our agreements, and so have the other
nations, excepting the United States.
We expected more from this country
than any other. because it was nation
of freemen,' but we have got less. The
treatment we have received here has
been shameful and if the good people
of the United States could only realize
how we have been hunted and bounded
about, our property taken from us by
force, our poor homes burned over our
heads, and we stoned and driven from
place to place, subject to the gibes and
insults of every leafer of an Irish fell
low-citizen,' am sure we would not
have been so misrepresented by Mr..
Blaine and others, and would find great
er protection than we now receive. The
Cinnamon are patient, and they bear a
great deal but they cannot bear every
thing.
These things happen on the Pacific
Coast, though over here we are not
treated as other foreigners. Several OF
my friends wanted to go to night school
in this city recently, but they were ridi-
culed and insulted by other attendants,
and had to give up the project. know
OF as many as sixty Cinnamon in this
city who would like to attend night
school could they be allowed.n

Praying and Watching.

A little boy in one of the schools in
Edinburgh, who attended prayer
meeting, said to his teacher:
''Teacher, wish my sister could be
got to read the Bible; she never reads
it, -tF
"Why, Johnny, should your sister
read the Bible ?"
Because if she once read it, am sure
it would do her good, and she would be
converted and saved"
"Do you think so, Johnny ?"
eyes, do, sir; and l wish the next
time there is a prayer meeting, you
would ask the people to pray for my
sister, that she may begin to read the
Bible"
.'Well, well; it shall be done, john"
So the teacher gave out that little
boy was anxious that prayer should be
offered that his sister might read her
Bible. John was observed to get up
and go out. The teacher thought it
very rude of the boy to disturb the
people in a crowded room; and so the
next day, when the lad came, he said
''John, thought it very rude of you
to get up in the prayer meeting and go
out. You ought not to have done So"
40, sir" said the boy, 81 did not
mean to be rude, but thought | should
like to go home and see my sister read
ing her Bible, for the first time"
Thus we ought to watch with eXpec-
tatiOn for answers to our prayers. Do
not say, "Lord, turn my darkness into
light !" and then go out with your can
die, as though you expected to find it
dark.-SpuryeOn. .+
