move about the room quietly.

not fall into gay and carcles. talk in
the attempt to be cheerful.
6. Don't ak questions, and thus
ohligc your friend to talk

Of the sick and dying.
9. If possible carry something with
YOU 10 please the eye and relieve the
monotony of the sick room a flower,
or even picture which YOU can loan
for few days.
10. If desirable, some little delicacy
to tempt will be well bestowed.
II, The perfume of some flowers is
poisonous, and they should never be
carried into the sick room. Especial.
" Is this true of the tuberose, hello
trope, hyacintb, orange, lilac, syringa,
and lilies.
u Stay only a moment, or n few
minutes at the longest, unless you can

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
These commandments arc for us.
They we're, in this particular form, ad.
dte .sed to Jews, but were not meant
for them only. Every one OF them had
been a divine rule from the beginning.
Every one of them is reafiirmed in the
New Testament. The fourth is no ex.
ception: "The Sabbath was made for
man. not for n nation.
2. They are to be kept. There is a
sense in which tho believer is freed
from them. lie is no longer under law,
But this means that it has no longer
any power over him for condemnation.
But, as precepts, the commandments
are still his choice. "Oh how love |
thy law - We are forgiven, justified,
not that we may live in disobedience,
but that our weil.dong may be in the
newness of the spirit and not in the
oldness of the letter.
;. The law is spiritual. 1t applies
not to the outward conduct only, but to
the thoughts and intents of the heart.
1. Ii never has been, and never can
be. ahrogated. 1t may come to be
written on the heart perfected love
will bc its perfect fulfilling; but not
one of the things forbidden in it can
ever bc pleasing to God; not one OF
those required can ever be to him ii
matter of indifference.
). Save Rs somehow redeemed. we
must perfectly keep the law or perish.
6. The study OF the commandments
show Us our need OF Christ. We are
made to see how far short we have come
OF that rule which is holy, lust and
good. Gods holiness is u part of his
nature; he can never cease to hate sin
and to require holiness. Having slnned
and come short, no hope is left US save
in him "in whom we have redemption
through his blood the forgiveness OF
sins according TO the riches OF his
grace
!. The commandments have done for
us their entire work only when, as
"our schoolmaster.' they have actually
brought US to Christ. The law enlight-
ems, restrains, condemns only Christ
can save. In him we have pardon and
newness of life. "Neilher Is there sal.

From the Phlla5elfhlar star
\ good many years ago n scamp
who had recently arrived frcm the
Bermuda islands was sent to the York
county jail for some otfensc committed
against the laws of the commonwealth.
He bad with him n few seeds which
he planted in the rich soil Of the Jail
yard. Before the plants which sprang
from the seed reached maturity he was
discharged, and no one knew the name
or nature of them. They grew luxu-
riantly, bearing fruit of large size
and unusual appearance. As this
strange fruit ripened. its color chang
ell from green to n brilliant red, and
became an object Of wonder and adj
miraiion 10 all the inmates Of the Jail.
Mrs. Klinefelter, the lady keeper, eau.
toned all the prisoners against eating
any of the fruit, as she was sure il was
poisonous, and besides that, she had
promised the man who had planted
the seed that she would endeavor 10
preserve specimens Of il for him should
he return in time. Just when the fruit
was fully matured the Bermuda pris-
oner revisited the jail and asked TO sec
the plant. This request granted. he
next called for pepper, salt and vine

THE News says, "there dees not
really seem to be any need OF the
Governor retaining counsel for the par
ties who have been Indicted in the U. S,
Distrist Court" We hope this may be
so. But, since we have not been able
70 know who or what has been testified
against these men and to what extent
partisan malice has been invoked, we
are not able TO join the NeUs in all Its
desires in the matter, "The Grand
Jury is composed of represent atives of
both parties" IL is true; but then q ma
jority of one may cause an indictment
for sll that. We detest these differences

We would be glad to hear that the Rreaf
Federal Government, which our people
have ell helped to build up and 30
patiently aided by the payment of vast
sums in taxes, would at least show a
more magnanimous disposition. Its
persecution for political offences in
Delaware puts blush on a mans
cheek for it when compared with the

A SERIOUS CHAReE.-The Repu6R-
can makes serious charge against the
Democrats In the City Council. Inan
editorial, under the caption Of "Steal-
ing an Inspector" it says:
"Haying stolen the inspector OF the
Ninth Ward at the General Election the
democracy had no compunetions Of con-
science whatever TO prevent them from
stealing the inspector Of the same ward
for the city election next September"
After witnessing the open, fair and
candid course OF the Democracy in the
Council and the conclusion arrived At
by testimony produced, the charge is an
tudacious one. But the Republican has
grown bold in the use OF the political
tomahawk. However, the Council
ought to be able 10 stand 1t.

oNn OF THE WAYS. --George Alfred

famous signature, "GATH," !" has, 1t ID
said, recently In letter, predicted that
Wilmington in the next decade will
take away from Philadelphia and

such remark he has doubtless had
some good and substantial reason for
It. The commerce Of those two cities

One OF the ways. BY which Whining
ton could strike out for . portion Of
future trade might be found through

mechanics in forming company for
for the building locomotives. Such
movement was talked Of here some
fifteen or twenty years ago, but the
effort was crushed because Of the pro.
jectors Of ii being given lasting luora-

trade in this country; heavy rs it DOW
appears lt is still in comparative in
fancy. In fact it is one of the great
leading trades in which tho supply is
not equal to the demand, nor will 1t be

We have several times suggested the
OF some OF eur machinists
such works here. But 9
want Of capital has always been urged.
Locomotives could be built consider
ably cheaper here than in Philadel- |

twenty years ago turned out one q

These works have just received an Or
