with Frightening lustre, this "Morning Stal
of the Reformation" till the sky was glowing
through all its arch with the radiance of the
uprising light.
Out Of that reformation issued the new pro.

Europe 1t wrenched powerful states from
the papal control. 1t gave wholly new free.

with its Protestant colonies. 1t opens to us
opportunity and hope. 1t is on the work &C

Thank God that the book which at Oxford
and at Lutterworth was first transferred in
its whole extent to the English tongue, and fol
whose final revised translation we are now
looking, has been, and is and shall be hence
forth, the American nheritance-expounded
from the pulpit, taught in the household, al

his "dooms" on its commandments, have not

its law and truth and inspiration.

if we may not rival that supreme and unfal

and was friendly with death: that these oul
years of noisy whirl may have in them still

which now are not: II am assured that the
truth of the Gospel may indeed for time b.
cast down in particular places, and may for
while abide in silence in consequence of the
threats of anti-Christ; but extinguished it
never can be, for the Truth itself has said

A Model Girl.

Do you want to read this word-picture
of modest girl? I wish more of her
class existed, for the sake of society at
large. She is not what is called hand
some, though possessed of quiet at
Effectiveness all her own. Her wardrobe
is chosen for quality according to her
financial circumstances the colors are
selected with care, suitable to each other
and favorable to her complexion (you
may call this taste, SO is is, 'fmodest
taste y the style must, of course, be as
near the popular fashion as she dare APP
proach, but never quite up to the height;
when out calling or shopping she dresses
with neatness and care if walking, she
neither moves too fast nor slow, but
glides along with natural and graceful
step which Is very becoming, recogniz-
ing her friends by polite bow or well
come grasp Of the hand; but there are
no demonstrative embraces or gushing
words. She is strictly truthful. When
any question is being discussed, and her
opinion is asked, she gives it hesitating-
ly, not doubtfully, and, if not accepted,
never allows herself to utter contra
diction, but calmly and quietly with
draws from the discussion, although her
opinion Is not lost or defeated by SO do
ing on the contrary, it almost always
carries weight and effect. Her acts and
words are unobtrusive, but her influence
LIS great in the home which it is her hap
piness to adorn.

Court Stories.

In little hare-up III Cleveland
police court the judge fined the public
prosecutor $40 for contempt of court.
The prosecutor asked if the fine should
be paid at once, and on receiving an
affirmative answer declared that he was

He was accordingly placed in cell IN
til friend brought him the necessary
funds. This calls to mind little incl
dent that once occurred in a Kentucky
court. Tom Marshall was using quite
abusive language, and the judge, after
one or two reprimands, fined him $10for
contempt. Mr. Marshall looked at the
Judge with a smile and asked where he
was to get the money, as he had not a

court. "Well, sir, answered Mr.. Mar

Friend. I have known thee from my early childhood
Here is picture thou wilt understand:
barefoot 1rchin roaming through the WILDWOOD
book of poems in one soiled brown hand.
The pictured child is me, and thine the poem,
On which the hungry soul is feeding there;
And when the years past she said :. know him

Now for the sake of the old wildwood sweetness,
And for the wondrous dreams that children dream.
/ wish to write thee, in thy life's completeness,
Expressing my regard and my esteem
wish to saw to thee that though the number
OF thy fair years be now three and ten,
The fire thy genius kindled shall not slumber;
Once lighted, it can not go out again.
This fire. undyng as the soul that, breathing
Upon cold ashes, turns them into fame,
Shall burn for many pleasant years, still wroathing
New garlands of imnortelles round thy name.
And may the warmth and fragrance Of the morning
Be round about thee as the sunset fades,
When twilight dews fall gently, as in warning
OF dangers ia the nights intrusive shades.
And when, at last Peace visits thy calm pillow,
A smiling angei-not Death, chill and dresr-
Oh, may the south wind whisper to the willow
To sing the songs thou most hath loved to hear!
Then, with falling tears we bend above thee,
And know the fire of life is all gone out,
We will not call thee dead, but we who love thee
VIII gather up the treasures streWn about;
Wen build temple DER glowing eInbers.
The fragrant blossoms of thy genius rare,
And guard the fire to prove that love remembers
The hand that Lit the incense burning there.
Oh brightly shall it burn through all the summer,
And brightly burn when winters SHOWS are white,
And when the day is dead and earth grows dumbeI
Well keep it shining through the fogs of night
And If anon by chance the fire should slnoder,
Love, kneeling low, will fan it with her breath,
Then shall each ember that growing colder
Flash its red light up in the face Of death.
And Death, abashed, with pallid brow grown winter
Shall shrink into the shadows whence he came,
While the old flames shall leap up higher brighter,
And write in words of scarlet fire thy name.

the post of inspector general and soon
after was advanced to that of quarter
master general, which he held until the
expiration of Morgans term of office. In
1871 he was appointed collector of the
port Of New York by President Grant,
and four years later, when his term of
Office expired, WIS reappointed. He was
removed by President Hayes 10 1873.
He was elected vice president on the

We were friends, at any rate, and, hav-

$3.50, were farming in Texas on poor
lands on what our landlord called
"sheers;" that is. he furnished the tools,
mules and land and we the brains and
human muscle, keeping our own house
and dividing the spoils-that is, the
crops-equally.
So. knowing how little he looked to
any other home than the one around
him, I could but question his s. notion"
and add
"Who to, Jim?" rather thought

His voice went down almost the whole
length of that wonderful neck, thought,
as he threw his face forward into his
hands, and, staring into a dark corner
of the fire, said:

GA woman, Jim why, wha-! Oh,
sister, perhaps ?" I said, seeking the
only refuge that seemed at hand.
"No. S. no sister" A long
pause. ''It's like this and he said
nothing more for some minutes, but ab-
sently reached over for his violin and
picked the strings for an almost-forgot-
ten chord. 1t seemed to me that his
brain and fingers were working together,
although he did not know it. At last
he evidently reached what he was after,
for he twanged the strings more conf

features distorted and his eyes in tears.
Good to him Well, thought /, if ever
any woman loved Jim she aCas good to
him she couldn't have wanted him for
anything else. How homely and an
gular he looked, his long neck shot out
oward the fire, which in February is

chill.
Presently he Strengthened up.
"No, there wasn't nothing said, but

There should have been an answer to
the letter in about two weeks If she was
like other women. But two, yes, three
weeks and more passed by without a
word. The fire died out ON our hearth,
as the hot summer came on swiftly, and
was not renewed. March surrounded
us and revealed wonders to the limited
New England experience which barely
becomes acquainted with the sun OF the
