A Chinaman Baptized.

Mrs. AUGUSTA Carlo led young
Chinaman into the Sabbath-School of
the Trinity Baptist Church, sixteen
months ago. On the next Sunday the
young Celestial brought two of his
countrymen. The class has grown until
there are now about thirty names upon
its roll. All of them do not attend ev-
cry Sunday, as several live out of town.
However, one who lives in Belleville,
N. j., is there regularly, and another,
who has removed to Hartford since he
joined the class, makes frequent Jour-
neys to this city that he may continue
to get the teaching of Mrs. Carlo and
those who have become associated with
her in the work. These facts were re-
lated by the Rev. DR.. James B. Sim
mons in a sermon on the "Chinese
Problem" At the close of the discourse
he baptized All Wing, a convert.
While hymn was being sung sew
eral of the church officers assisted the
sexton in removing the desk and other
furniture to the ends of the platform,
and in uncovering the basin beneath it.
A young girl and a middle-aged woman

descended into the basin with All WING.
In compliance with request made by
the convert through his pastor, the con-
gregation sang the first verse of the
hymn beginning:
Savior more than life to me-,
| am clinging, clinging, Lord, to Thee;
Let Thy precious blood, applied,
Keep me ever, ever by Thy side.
Hating in the center of the basin, the
pastor asked the usual question as to
the converts faith, and said: "Ah
Wing, upon this, your profession of
faith in Jesus Christ, l baptize you in
the name of the Father, the Son and the
Holy Ghost" After moments pause
he laid the young man back into the
water, then lifted him up, and the sing
ing of his favorite hymn was continued.
= All Wing, who is said to be the first
Chinaman convert in this city to pub
licly profess a change of religious faith,

IN this country eight years. His father

There is something suggestive 70
Christians in the practice of these
pagans. Shall we give less time in tbe
morning to our God than they to their
stocks and stones? If our closet honr
was more regarded, would not His marx
be palmer in our foreheads? Would
not our daily life show that we had been
with Jesus in the morning? When we
walk through a garden, and gather orr
hands full of Glove pinks and damask
roses, no one needs to ask us where we
have been. There are some whose
lives seem to breathe a constant per-
fume from the garden of spices. and
often they are very lowly ones here on
earth. Sometimes, like the sainted
Mrs. Doremus, they have wealth and
high position. This high honor is ac-
cessible to all, of any rank or station.
but it is attained by each in the same
lowly way. The spirit of devotion is
the daily breath. Communion with
God can make the face glow, as did
Moses, when he came down from the
mount.
Sometimes you will hear surprise ex-
pressed that such person is a member
of the church. 81 should never have
suspected it." says one who has had
dealings with him. The mark in the
forehead was thought to belong to quite
another party. 1t is generally taken
for granted by those without, that, if
one is Christian, his life should show
it. When he does not, he is regarded
much as a soldier would be who is not
true to his colors. But that is small
consideration compared with that which
the Lord places upon him. Those who
have not 1.-the marks" as they go about
among men, will hear at the last the
cold declaration, 81 never knew you"

THE CREED OF LOVE.

HOWEVER low and wretched one may be,
That which is noblest may survive the
rest;
Though full of evils and perverted, he,
If kindly sought, will answer to the quest.
Who that is fallen but sometimes does feel
The spark of that almost eXtinguished fire
Which, through the vilest sin, does still re-
veal
The light of secret hope and pure desire.
oh, do not say that it is now too late
To save single ruined life on earth.
The Master only is the arbiter of fate,
And He decides what every soul is worth
Still follow them, with kindly deed and care
Who are descending sadly to the deep;
The ready sympathy and earnest prayer
May save them yet before their fatal leap.
How can we know, we, guarded by the ties
Which homeland love and friendship round
us weave,
'Howin their hearts the solemn yearning lies
Their sins to spurn-their evil paths to
leave!
BE ever ready, them not to condemn,
But to befriend them, and with glad sur
prise
They, too, will learn the evil to contemn
Which is SO despicable in our eyes.
Befriend them that they, too, may issue forth
stu doing good out of pure heart and
And it shalt be through blessing men on
earth
Thou shall receive the love of all mankind.

An Empress's Life.

MADAME DE REMUsAT, in her Memoirs
just published, introduces us to the in
ner life of Napoleon's court. She shows
us Josephine, Napoleon's first wife. as
sE>- was, not as biographers have
sketched her. No girl need be under
the illusion that the Empress's life is to
be coveted. Josephine knew little hap
piness in her lofty station, for she lived
not for its duties, but for it's pleasures.
The routine of court-life was monoton-
Gus and wearisome, and her personal
life was frivolous and far from beinD
pure. The Memoirs say, "She never
opened book, she never took up a pen,
she worked scarcely at ALL" Though
without literary tastes, she was extrava-
ganlly fond of dress and display. "She
rose at nine O'Clock. Dressing was a
long processN and a'portion Of it was
devoted to minute personal embellish-
ments, including paint. She changed
every article OF her attire three times
day, and never wore any but new stock
ings. 1t would be impossible to name
the sums she spent on clothes of every
kind. In every fashionable shop of
Paris there was always something being
made for her." Her charm was her
winning manners and amiable DISPOSE.
ton. "But she could never conform in
her own manner of life to order or to
etiquette, or keep within the limits Of
her purse. Her personal allowance was

year, but she was perpetually running
in debt, and mourning sharp rebukes
from the Emperor for her extravaganza.

A Good Word for Old Maids,

A SENSIBLE writer expresses his opin.
ion of old maids in the following man

of the satirical aspersions cast upon old
maids tell more to their credit than is
generally imagined. Is young woman
remarkably neat in the person, she will
certainly be an old maid. Is she per-
fectly reserved toward the other sex. she
has all the squeamishness of an old
maid. Is she frugal in her expenses
and exact in her domestic concerns. she
is cut out for an old maid. If she is
kindly humane to the animals about her.
nothing can save her from the appella.

The practice of erasing from ancient
manuscripts in order to secure writing
material for new manuscripts seems to
have originated with the ancient
Greeks, though much more extensively
practiced by the monks of the Middle
Ages: By them this practice of erasure,
growing out of the scarcity and cost of
parchment, was so extensively carried
on that a large number of classical
works have been lost to the world in
consequence, such as the works of An
acreon, the comedies of Menander, the
last decades of Livy, and other classical
works now wholly gone but known to
have been in existence as late as the
seventh century. The word palimpsest
IS applied only to such manuscripts as
had the original ink erased for the pur.
pose. OF enabling the scribe to use the
parchment for fresh writing.

That spry Celestial man
Ran on, and many bitter sneers
ASSailed him us he ran;
With cries and jeers and boots and yells
And many bold request,
As, taking none himself, he should
Give other men rest.
His gait was neither walk nor run,
1t was a springy lope,
A sort OF demonstration of
The buoyancy of hope.

THE TRUE IDEA.

w. F. Story, of the Chicago Times, is about
to introduce novel feature in western jour
nalism. 1t will consist in publishing a sheet
adapted in size to the amount of news t, be
published. If 80 columns are wanted, 80
columns will be printed, and if 80 columns are
wanted but 80 columns will be printed I'm,
der the new system the Times is liable to vary
in size every day in the week. This is the
true idea, and one which in time is likely to
be extensively initiated. 1t is a great mis-
take that the size OF paper should assist in
adding to its Importance and Influence. Most
of the papers of the present day are twice as
large as they should be. A paper should not

Bulletin, -4lta and Examiner contain five col
umns of worthless material to one column
which anybody reads. 1t is So much type, pa
per and labor lost. The Associate Press dis
patches generally occupy five or six columns,
and an experienced condenser could boil each
column down to few paragraphs, and no one
would miss the superfuous rahbish which was
thrown aside. Ideas which could be expressed
in single sentence are sometimes ampihed
into a column, and not one man in Fifty who
picks up the paper will read them. All this
is done to fill up certain amount of space.
Some papers which really contain bright things
are not read because most people cannot spare
the time to hunt through SO vast an expanse
away here and there. 1t is like hunting for a
four leaf clover ia quarter section OF land.
The papers which are to cleave their way to
the front in American journalism will be the
small ones. The New York Sua is about half

RESTORING HARMONY.

For weeks past the Tribune, which claims
t. be the mouth piece of the Dolly Nardens,
has been advocating measures conclusive to
party harmony. The sincerity of its assertions
and the consistency of its opinions are shown
in the following paragraph from last night S
editorial:
1t must be further borne in mind that by
the action of the County Central Committee
voters are left to exercise their own discretion
in their choice Of candidates, and that should
they not approve Of the nominations made by
a possible ring, no approbrions eplthets are to
be hurled at them if they see tit to nominate
and elect another Citizens ticket.
This means that the men who We're allowed
to come back into the party yesterday under
the guise of restoring party harmony, can at
any time repeat the work which defeated the
party two years ago The article also exnlts
over the victory achieved by the ID. VS. over
the Strengths, as if the action of the Contra
Committee was brought about either by brib
cry or intimidation. Doubtless the Tribune
will say today that it meant no such thing,
but the trouble with that sheet is that it has
an ignoramus for an editor and most of the
time doesn't exactly know what it is saying.
The Central Committee rescinded the third
clause of the test of their own free will and no
one will assert that they were either 5ribed OF
bulied. If the reconciliation is accomplished
there are no Dolly Nard-ns and the TI'ib.e1s
is the organ of nothing. The APPEAL would
like to hear from some exD V, as to whether
or not the utterances of last nights Tribune
represent the views of any body except h. r.
Parkinson.
