RELIGIOUS NOTES AND INCIDENTS.

The one hundred and fiftieth anniversary
of the Congregational Church, at Trumbull
Conn, was celebrated November Is
The Baptists have seven Churches for
whites in Washington with about 2OQO
members, and thirty-three colored Churches
with more than 1000 members. The
women have established w omen's Baptist
Home for Needy Women in the Churches.
The one hundred and fiftleth anniversary
of the first Church of Concord, N. H, was
celebrated a few days ago. The Church has
had only five pastors, and the pastorates Of
four of them covered 1877 years Three
Churches have been colonized from it, to
which it has dismissed 1919 members.
Henry Wilson, wealthy Englishman,
who has spent large sums in building and
endowing Churches.and in supporting re-
ligious education, died in Sheffield two
weeks ago. He was an enthusiast in mis-
sions, particularly in the opening up of
Africa. and he gave $4,000 to assist IN
equipping missionary expedition which
was 20 occupy ground opened up by Com
mander Cameron and Mr.. III. NJ. Stanley.
The enterprise had a tragic ending, the mis-
sionaries being set upon by certain savage
tribes and murdered.

few nights ago, scan get anything from the
Son of God. Mans religion is made up of
two letters, do do. God is made up of four
letters, dome, done. Salvation is worth
working for; but working for it is not the
way to get it. God is not selling salvation.
and you can't buy it. Christ didn't come
down here to bring men a salvation that
they could work out for themselves Paul
did works before he was converted-bu
they were such as holding the clothes of
those who stoned Stephen, and breathing
out threatenings and slaughter. Christ
didn't come to call workers, but sinners.
He wants US to work He calls US to work,
but not because we work. Trying to be
good without Christ is like trying to fill a
hub that has no bottom with bucket full of
holes"
The people of one of the principal
Churches in CohOes, N. Y, prepared and
advertised supper few evenings ago, and
expected large crowd to eat it and pay for
the pleasure of doing so. The crowd came,
but the supper was not eaten. A mis-.
chievous little boy gave an object lesson on
the text, "One sinner destroyeth much
good" When the rooms were full this
little lad spiced the proceedings by finging
handful of red pepper on the big stove
In few moments the Methodists and their
customers were coughing and sneezing and
choking. They tried to stay and eat the
supper and make some money for the good
of the cause. But il was in vain. The bad
boy and his pepper prevailed, and the sup
per had to be postponed. On the subsequent
evening another supper was served, which
was so great success rs to pay for the
damage done to the first. From the second
supper the bad boy and the pepper were
absent.

chapter of which it forms part7 That
chapter dispenses with time, sex. arithmetic,
grammar, and punctuation, so far as the con-
struction of civil statutes in Texas is con-
cerned. Its repeal would render a real
revieion-not mere republication under
the misnomer of a revision-a necessity.
1t is quite certain that the Legislature did
not intend to introduce female suffrage, but
it has done it. Thus far the women of
Texas have not found out that they were
entitled by law to vote, and have net voted;
but now, since their full civil enfranchise-
ment is known, it does not follow that they
will not vote, and viii submit to be put back
into their former dependent position.
Whatever the Legislature may do or at
tempt to do about the matter, the friends of
female suffrage have now an opportunity to
take a test case before the Texas courts.

Cheap Girls.
lMcMilan's Magazine.l

A girl who makes herself too cheap is one
to be avoided. No young man, not even
the worst, except for a base purpose, wants
anything to do with cheap young lady.
For wife, none but a fool or a rascal will
approach such woman. Cheap jewelry no
person will touch if he can get any better.
Cheap girls are nothing but the refuse, and
the young men know it, and they will look
in every other direction for life long
friend and companion before they will give
glance at the pinchbeck stuff that tinkles
at every turn for facinating the eye of any
that will look. You think it is quite the
correct thing" to talk loudly and coarsely,
be boisterous and hoydenish in all public
places; to make yourself so bold and for
ward and commonplace, everywhere, that
people wonder if you ever had mother, or
or home, or anything to dol So be it. You
will probably be taken for what you are
worth, and one of these years, If you do not
make worse than shipwreck of yourself,
you will begin to wonder where the charms
are that once you thought yourself possessed
of, and what evil spirit could have SO be-
fooled you. Go on, but remember, cheap
girls attract nobody but fools and roscals.

Woman.

Great, indeed, is the task assigned to wo-
man. Who can elevate its dignity2 Not
to make laws, not to lead armies, not 10
govern empires, but to form those by whom
laws are made, armies led, and empires
governed; to guard against the slightest
faint of bodily infirmity the frail yet spot
less creature whose moral, no less thar
physical being, must be derived from her,
to inspire those principles, to inculcate those
doctrines, to animate those sentiments,
which generations yet unborn, and nations
yet uncivilized, will learn to bless; to soften
tirmness into mercy, and chasten honor into
refinement; to exalt generosity into virtue,
by soothing care to allay the anguish of
the body, and the far worse anguish of the
mind, by her tenderness to disarm passion,
by her purity to triumph over sense; tc
cheer the scholar sinking under his toll; to
console the statesman for the ingratitude OF
a mistaken people; to be compensation for
friends that are perfdious-for happiness
that has passed away. Such is her vocation.
The couch of the tortured sufferer, the
prison of the deserted friend, the cross of
the rejected Savior-these are the theaters
on which her greatest triumphs have been
achieved. Such is her destiny; to visit the
forsaken, to tend the neglected; when mon
srchs abandon, when couselers betray, when
justice prosecutes; when brethren and
disciples fee, to remain mistaken and un-
changed, and to exhibit in this lower world
q type of that love-pure, constant, and in
effable-which in another we are taught to
believe the test of virtue.

Goethe's Mother.
ImGrimm,a life of Goetha ~

L
Goethe owed everything to his mother.
ITO his mother, says our author, che ascribes
his buoyant nature and his love of story
telling. And, indeed, this was just what
distinguished the Frau Rath.' The mother
had in her the material to make historic
parsonage. Goethe's father can be set aside;
we do not need him to understand Goethe.
But his mother is inseparable from him; she
forms part of his being. She understood
him from the beginning; she OWNED him.
All that Goethe gloriously fulfilled CORE
sponded but to part of the still greater ex-
pectations which this woman cherished.
Her constitution was like iron.
She did what she had to do at once in a
fresh, ready way, and swallowed the devil
without stopping TO look at him.
She was large and stately, and wore impos-
ing head-dresses; and she had always cir
Gle of young girls about her, who followed
her with enthusiastic love. In the theater
she sat in her own box, and applauded as if
she had a special commission from Goethe.
From there she presented her little grand
children to the public. She has been de-
scribed most beautifully and truly. quite in
the spirit of 'Dichtung and Wahrbeit,' by
Bettina. There are many letters from her
natural, graphic, true grandmother's let
tiers, with no dead word in them
