Leaning on Christ.

A dear old Christian once said to Inc,
II want to notice that word leaning on
the arm of the Beloved. You give up
your arm to Il lady to take her into the
drawing-room. and she just touches
your ann. But you go IL long walk into
the country with your wife; she is
weary, and you offer her your arm, and
she puts in her hand and presses on
you with all her weight. Now, Sir
he said, "that seems to me just the diff
ference between the Journalist and the
real Christian. The Journalist touches
the arm of Jesus, he does not lean with
all his weight but the real Christian
feels his own weakness and his own
WEAKNESS, and so us he goes through
the wilderness he leans on the arm of
his Beloved, bearing all his weight up
on that beloved arm, and finding power
and strength, and the more he leans
the more he feels his own weakness,
and ut the same time the more he feels
his strength in Him. Words Of Life.

Some of the children do not write

that a letter does not come. L have

weary months and years while long

loneliness or still their fOroodings. And

return that money and checks cannot

Winter Rules.

Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet; always toast them by fire tel
or fifteen minutes before going to bed.
When going from warm atmosphere
into colder one, keep the mouth clos
ed, so that the air may be warmed by
its passage through the nose, ere il
reaches the lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather, es-
pecially after having taken slight de,
gree of exercise; and always avoid
standing upon ice and snow, or where
the person is exposed to ii cold wind.
After exercise of any kind, never ride
in an open carriage nor near the win,
dow of car for a moment. 1t is dan
gerous to health and even life.
Never take warm drinks and theI
Immediately 90 out in the cold air.
Merely VAIN the back by fire, and
never continue keeping the back expos
ed to heat after it has become comforta-
bly, warm. To do otherwise is debili-
tating.
When hoarse speak as little us posi-
BILE until it is recovered from, else the
voice may be permanently lost, or diff
ficulties of the throat be produced.
Never begin Il journey until the
breakfast has been eaten.
Keep the back especially between
the shoulder blades-well covered; al
so the chest well protected.
Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold.
Never omit regular bathing; for, un-
less the skin is in an active condition
the cold will close the pores and favor
congestion or other diseases.
In sleeping in il cold room, establish
the habit of breathing through the nose
and never with the mouth open.-PeO,
pie and Patriot.

A Practical Discourse OF FAIRIES.
From the Detroit Free Press.

''What vision of iOvliness is this ~
'This, my boy, is a fairy. You and
all other children have read and heard
about fairies, and | will now talk with
you a short time about Them"
Are all FAIRIES us beautiful as this ?'
''NO. 1t is with fairies the same as
with ladies. Some have freckles and a
stub nose, while others wear No. 6 shoes
on their feet, and a disconsolate look on
their face, and it is only now and then
that you find Il handsome one"
"Did this beautiful fairy use paint and
powder on her face 2"
81 think not; think she kept sau-
Ger and some corn-starch and a red
wooden rag on the bureau, and whenever
she went out she simply busted off her
face little. 1t is believed by the best
writer's in the country that FAIRIES keen
their youthful look by eating rose
leaves and bathing in the morning dew
1t must be something of the sort, for NO
one ever heard of a fairy dying of old
age"
''Do fairies love children %
''They do. They are rather odd about
that; no matter how ugly and obstinate
and dlrtyfaced child is, the FAIRIES will
take him in their arms and sing sweet
songs in his ear, the same as if his con-
duct was eighteen-karats fine"
"When child is lost, do the fairies
watch over him ~

fairy always finds him as soon as he is
lost, and she is always provided will

The famous English executioner,
Marwood, went down to Wales, the
other day, to hang the Spanish sailor,
Garcia, who killed five persons last sum
mer. The criminal was so odlous that
the people gave his executioner quite
an ovation, and when Marwood left
after the execution he was escorted to
the station by large crowd, who
cheered him loudly. At the station he
held levee in the waiting room, many
persons shook hands with him and
man made speech to the effect that
he had done his duty and they were
proud of him. MarwO God returned
thanks, saying that he had never before
had such reception and he hoped soon
to come that way again-a piece OF
grim humor which much amused the
crowd.

One Evil of Low Wages for Women
From Lecture by Rev. Joseph Cook.

From Lecture by Kew Joseph COOK.
There is in my hands letter from Il
man of affairs in this city, and its topic
is low-paid female labor. There is no
Ied-hot gridiron here. otherwise should
like to grill upon it in a public pres
ence the man who suggested infamy to
Il girl as ii means of increasing her wages
behind counter. You would like to
broil there any man doing that. | sup
pose the case was Il great exception
but | have excellent evidence that there
is no eXaggeratiOn in what | am about
to read TO YOU. This is not an anony-
nous letter; but the writer who signs
it with his own full name is recorded in
the directory of the city to which he be-
longs, and his occupation mentioned
"A young lady, whose family became
reduced in worldly circumstances, felt
that she must try to do something for
herself, and therefore, she applied at a
large retail dry goods house for situa-
ton. Yes said the proprietor, I'VE

can't live upon that Il understand you,

girls don't live upon what we pay them.
Do you see that Young lady there We
pay her just what | offer you; young
man pays her the rest" | wish the
gridiron were here tor the broling. IL
know whereof | affirm" continues this
writer, whose letter aroused an in
dlgnatiOn | dare not express here "and
| think that when it comes to this,
the matter goes a step beyond low
wages" This is simply an illustration of
one effect of low wages" "Please

druggist in his youth, and afterwards 1t
is said, practiced surgery, and then
took command of a trading ship. His
character after he entered the army was
not entirely above reproach, yet he SO
distinguished himself, and gained the
confidence of Washington as to be APP
pointed commander of West Point
From there he negotiated with the
British commander-in-chi to whom
he escaped after his treason. He was
made brigadier-general in the British
army and was handsomely rewarded,
but his name was ever held in con-
tempt. He died obscurely and without
friends, in London, in the year 1901.

Andre was stopped, and taken prisoner

Evils of Too Many Religious Organ
izations in One Place.

Editors Table Sunday Afternoon, for January.
The practical evils of sectarianism
are seen in the multiplication of religi-
Gus organizations. In almost all the
towns and cities of the land there are
more churches and chapels than are
needed to accommodate the worship
pers, present or prospective 4; yet, even
in these hard times the number is con-
stantly increasing. Two neighbOring
churches will meet in il "uniOn" service,
and say pretty things to each other
about Zone Lord, one faith, one bap-
tism,n and one of these will go out from
this feast of brotherly love, and plant Il
mission" right under the caves of the
other, the purpose of which is to divide
the field of its neighbOr and to secure
for its sect part of the harvest which
the other church was doing its best to
gather. Thus new religious OrganiZa-
tions, which are meant to be the germs
of churches, are continually being form
ed where they are not needed. If there
is part of the city where the Metho-
dists have no church, into that part of
the city the Methodists will go and
plant Il EMISSION" no matter how many
churches of other names there may be
in that neighborhood. All the other
denominations do the same thing. The
multiplication OF organizations for pure
Y sectarian reasons goes on steadily,
mauger all our soft talk about Chris
tan union. cart thou in health, my
brother ?" one church says to another
in the union meeting,-and stabs its
neighbor under the fifth rib the next
day with rival organization. By
counts that have recently been made
in some OF the cities it is shown that,
ordinarily, not half of the sittings in
the various churches are occupied. But
if things 60 on as they have been going,
long before these churches are filled
their number will be doubled.
