Pastor Johnson's Sermon.

q Il is sad truth that people are apt
to give to the church what they can
spare as well as not, and then regard
themselves as very liberal. There are
still others who too closely resemble the
little girl who told her mother that the
contribntion-bo was passed to her and
that there was lots of money in it, but
she didn't take any out, expecting to be
praised for her self-denial. This is
negative kind of Christianity, which
does little credit to the worshiper.
Rev. Plato johnson seems to have met
this crisis in a recent sermon, and.
though his language is not particularly
choice, his ideas are very clear. He
said, at the conclusion of an eloquent
sermon, Brederen, de plate will now
pass aroun', an has a word to say on
de 'portant subjeck ov givin'. De
peoples wat puts bone buttons and lead
nickels inter de plate may pass for orful
free givers 'mongst der fellow-sinners,
but dey can't cheat de Lord. 7 want
to press on your minds dat fact-dey
can't cheat de Lord When de Lord
said He liked cheerful giver, He
didn't hab his eyes on dat sort oh trash.
You can put dis down as a sartin shore
thing, brederen, dat dose wat glbs de
chu'ch wat dey has no use fur them
selves won't git no free pass inter glory.
In de day oh Judgment de Lord Will
say to SIGH men, I don't know you
bone-button fellers; go sit on de back
seats, quick Now, den, pass de plates"

The First Nihilists,

The first Nihilist societies were
formed by Russian students about the
year 1859, and the doctrines they adopt
ed were chiefly derived from a book
which is not generally supposed to have
any Nihilist tendencies, Buchners
Force and Matter" The circulation
of this work in Russia was forbidden by
the Government, but it was secretly in
troduced into the country, and read
with av1dity by the Russian youth, to-
gether with another German work, by
Max Stirner, called property and the
Individual" which had also fallen un-
der the ban of Russian censors. Out of
these two books, the former of which
preached materiaism and the latter So
cialism, the Russians evolved the doc
trine of Nihilism, which they also pro-
fessed to find in other popular works,
notably Buckles History of Civiliza-
ton" The new Nihiist societies were
formed among the students of the Agri
cultural College of Petrovski, near Mos
cow. The Government treated the stu
dents with extreme severity; many in
nocent young men were confined in
prison for many years without trial, and
it was at this time that Vera Sassuitch,
who was then Is years old, was impris
oned with her brother for three years.
After the Frarco- German war the Nj
hilists adopted the Panslavist cause, and
thereby gained certain amount of pop
ularity, but the acquittal of Vera Sassu-
Itch again directed their attention to
home affairs. They turned round upon
their prosecutors and threatened them
with death, believing that Russian So
ciety would hail them as its saviors if
they should succeed in destroying the
that letters it.

Reorganization of the Russian Army.

An imperial ukase just issued from
st. Petersburg orders that the Russian
army shall undergo an important trans
formation. There are in Russia 14O
regiments of infantry, each consisting
of three battalions, subdivided into five
companies. Now each regiment is to
consist of four battalions, subdiyided
into four companies. This measure in
creases the Russian army by 10000 men
in time of peace, and by 100000 men in
time of war. The reorganization of the
army is to begin at once, and must be
pushed on rapidly.-Paris Soleil.

Only little while, vain man, only a

TAKEN AT HIS WORD.


Nellie Palmer was lying on the
lounge in her pretty bedroom, crying
and looking very unhappy. And yet
she had been married only six months
and to such mice, handsome man, as
she ought to have been happy with
him. And so she had been, until-un-
til, to tell the truth, Mr.. Bob Palmer,
forgetting, or seeming to forget, that he
was a married man, had recently taken
to flirting with these very young ladies',
at all the parties in Middleton, leaving
his wife to take care of herself. Surely
1T was enough to make any six-months
wife cry-especially one so sensitive as
Nellie. r..sI r ,g- aa..- .....5f
Not that Mr.. Robert Palmer loved
his little wife a bit less than on the dav
of his marriage neither thai Nellie
suspected him of 1t, or for moment
doubted his morals, any more than she
did his constancy. But Mr.. Palmer
was gay young man, and loved to
amuse himself and to be amused. He
liked the society of pretty and lively
women, both married and single; and,
in word, he liked to firt, and saw no
harm in it. So, while he hung over the
young ladies' chairs, laughing and pay
ing gay compliments, OR promenading
with the young married ladies, his wife
would be looking over a photograph
album, Or conversing solemnly with
some old gentleman, or noticing some
shy and awkward child, while pretend
ing to be unconscious Of her husbands
proceedings. Not that she was COM
PEELED to enjoy herself in this solemn
way-she, usually SO bright, and pretty,
land agreeable-but she had no heart
for anything else now. Of late, all her
Mveliness and chattiness had left her,
and she answered absently and smiled
hstiessly, and, if compelled to dance or
sing, did so out of time and out of
&une, to her husbands great vexation
ut is thus that many young wife set
tiles down into dull and faded old
woman, while her husband grows hand
somer and heartier, and wonders what
on earth could have so changed her.
Halo! been crying again, declared"
exclaimed Mr.. Bob Palmer, suddenly
ceasing his little whistle, as he entered
the room. on returning from his office.

"Oh, Bob! how can you?a sobbed
Nellie, beginning afresh.
