"Quite my idea of the party's charac-

A naughty exchange, commenting
on the bad results of kissing the baby,
and what that baby has to suffer in va
rious ways from promiscuous oscula-
ton, says the safest plan is not to kiss a
baby of the feminine persuasion until it
attains the age of 16. The cartilage of
the nose is stronger then, and there is
no danger of defOrming that sweet little
feature, or making her near-sighted.

The Southern Presbyterian General
Assembly adopted 4 resolution in re-
gard TO dancing, in reviewing the judg-
ment Of the Atlanta Presbytery on Dea-
con Block. The Assembly decided that
its own previous deliyerances on the
subject of worldly amusements were not
made in strictly judicial capacity, but
were only didactic, advisory, and mont
tory, and that the deliverances Of the
Church Courts were of the same nature
and authority. Hence the severe cen
sure passed on Deacon Block is virtually
rescinded.
The Methodist ministers of Chicago
have adopted a declaration presented
by Bishop Merrell in regard to what
they style ''the civil Sabbath" The
declaration disclaims all design Of Gre
ating any religious establishment con-
trary to the Constitution, and all expec-
tation of policing men into the per-
formance of moral and religious duties,
but urges that the preservation of ''the
civil Sabbath" substantially as regu-
lated by law, is indispensable to the
moral, social, and physical welfare of
all classes, sand especially of the indus
trial populations" The closing resO-
luton denounces the prevalent lethargy
in regard to the non-enforcement of the
Sunday laws.

Compensafions Of Middle Age.

The last hesitancy as to surrendering
all claims to youth is past. The term
" mlddle-aged" has no sting. The con-
fict at So, when the crows feet appear
ed, was bitter. But the years have
swept away all these disagreeable sensa-
tons and experiences.
At As, If the fortune is still as far as
ever in the distance, there is more resig-
nation. If one has never enjoyed come
illness of feature, there is then the pleas
ure of seeing the Adonis of twenty years
ago losing his attractiveness. The Bit
ter pill swallowed by the ugly man in
his youth is now his to take and for
him. The ugly man knows it is very
bitter.
There is an experience and accom-
panying sensation at 40 not to be receiv-
ed in earlier years. He has seen the
better part of two generations. Gradu-
ally the fathers have gone to their
graves. The sons of yore are now the
fathers. The barefeoted boy of thirty
years ago is q deacon and the other un-
comfortable apple-Orchard robber of the
same period expounds every Sunday
from the pulpit. Most of the girls are
faded mothers or old maids.
Old at As? No. To the healthy body
and healthy mind the world is younger
and fuller of life than ever, fuller of
wonder and mystery. Stones and clods.
have ceased to be dull inanimate things.
The outburst Of vegetable life at each
successive spring is more wonderful
than the last. The grass, the bud, the
SuS inv IN
ton and investigation. The heavens
have increased, not lost in wonder and
sublimity. Man himself is a study more
interesting, more fascinating. Charity
for human defect and folly is increased,
and with such increase comes greater
for seeing and calm investiga-
ton. The unruly elements in human
nature are brought under better control.
The stream of life is deeper and more
quiet. Between wider banks it has in
creased in force and volume. It has
passed forever from the babble of the
shallower brook, from the maddened
rush and roar of the rock-stemmed, i'm
petuOus torrent.
Forty-five may not be so bad as it ap-
pears. At that age many mountains in
the way at 20 have dwindled into mole,
hills. Fearful realities have changed to
phantoms, and Solomons to Chadbands
and Turveydrops. A deadly fear Of the
worlds judgments has changed to quiet
Indifference, and while existing custom
and usage are to q certain extent con-
formed to, there is less of abjeet enslave-
ment to this or that mans opinion

Prof. Swing says that sermons
should be written with ink rather than
with pencil, and that n man who will
rise and make his toilet in satisfactory
manner will make better sermon than
the lazy brother who writes in bed, and
upsets his inkstand over the pillow. He
also wishes ii understood that ministers
can do better work after breakfast than
if they begin very early in the morning
on an empty stomach.
