more infdels, drunkards and blasphem-
ers, propertionately, are saved by re-
vivals than without them.
1t is fair to expect that the influences
mentioned will produce a deeper type
of experience in converts and this l
believe to be the fact. Conviction of
sin and a full acceptance of salvation
through the atOnement are more fire.
qHent at such times; while in other
cases these experiences are too apt to
be delayed till later years, and perhaps
never come with power.
As for unhealthy reaction, it is scarce
" to be feared when the work is kept
within the control of the pastor, and
mainly or wholly carried on by him
self and his church. The methods of
the millennium may, perhaps, omit re-
vivals; possibly one church in a thou
sand may not need them to-day bat
the churches which most of us know
will fail in their mission unless often
blessed by this peculiar converting
presence of the Holy Spirit.

Grace in Little Things.

There is an old story of a certain
minister who, in arranging his toilet for
his afternoon parOchial calls, found a
button gone from his shirt collar, and
all at once the good mans patience left
him. He fretted and scOlded and said
undlgnified and uukind things, until
the tired wife burst into tears and es-
CAPPED to her room. The hours of the
afternoon wore away, during which the
parson called upon brother Jones, who
was all bowed down with rheumatism,
and found him patient, and even cheer
full upou young brother Hall, wasting
away with consumption, and found him
anxious to 90 and be with Christ; upon
good old grandmother Smith, in her
poor, miserable hovel of u home, and
found her singing one of the good old
hymns, as happy as a bird; upon young
Mrs. Brown, who had few weeks be-
fore buried her only child, and found
her trustful and serene in the views of
Gods love which had come to her
through her affiiction. The minister
went home filled with what he bad
seen, and when evening came, and he
was seated in his easy chair, and his
good wife near him busy with her nee
die, he could not help saying, "What a
wonderful thing grace is! How much
it will do There is nothing beyond
its power, Wonderful! Wonderful
1t can do all things" Then the little
wife said,
Yes, it is wonderful indeed; but
there is one thing that the grace of God
does not seem to have power to do"
"Ah, what can that be ?" said the
husband.
"Wny, il does not seem to have pow
er to control a minister's temper when
his shirt button is gone"
That was new version of the doc
trIue OF grace to the parson, but 1t was
such version as many another relg-
ious man needs to remember.
There is many a man who can stand
up before multitude and ''cOnfeSS
Christ - who can be most meek when
insulted in some public place who can
rub his hands and bless God for the
power OF religion, but who is too weak
to keep his temper at home. The val
ne of art is in the tinencss of the work
the perfection of music is in the little
accuracies. So the beauty and power
of our religion are seen when we mani
fest grace in little things, As it takes
more skill to engrave the Lords Prayer
upon a fve-cent-pece than upon a
broad steel plate, so it takes more
grace to live a good Christian at home
than in public Golden Fate.

Without Advertising?

best agency for communication between people OF

Or shall with whitened fear grow dumb,

And startled TO think he hath surely come
Shall fAlter and fail TO find the lock-
And keep him waiting, as stand

Fast shut in my grasp, that when hear

At the Stamp Window.

Just before ii o'clock Thursday fore
noon there were thiIteen men and one
woman at the stamp window of the
post office. Most of the men had letters
to post for the Eastern trains. The
woman had something tied up in blue
matchbox. She got there first, and
she held the position with her head in
the window and both elbows on the
shelf.
''Is there such place in this country
as Cleveland 2" she began.

''Do you send mail there"
''Yes.n
"Well, a woman living next door ask

Takes two cents" said the clerk af-
ter weighing it. ''If there's writing in
side it will be 10 cents"
Mercy on me, but how you dc

Here the thirteen men began to push
up and hustle around and talk about
one old matchbox delaying two dozer
business letters, but the woman had lOtf
of time.
"Then it will be two cents, eh ~
eff there is no writing inside"
"Well, there may be. l know she i:

Much Wisdom.

The committee on the iufraction of
senatorial dignity Is considering the
pTopriety of sitting with closed doors
in the forthcoming investigation of the
press, and making it secret. This is
very csnsiderate, since it will be much
easier to take correct reports if there
are only a few present at a time. The
idea of being able to keep a thing Sc
cret where the correspondents are the

NEWSPAPERS VS.. GossIP.-Of news
paper libel suits the Dayton Journal
says that, as a rule, publishers are
much more careful with their printing
ink than private citizens are with their
tongues, which is true enough. If edit
ors published one tenth part of the stuff
retailed to them 10y private citizens of
responsibility they would be in hot wa
ter the year round. The trouble, so far
as published SANDER and libel go, is not
with the newspapers, but with the men
who give editors false information. AS
a rule, editors aim to give their readers
only the facts, and when they fail to do
so, tits the fault, not of themselves, but
of their patrons who attempt to make
the newspaper the medium of inflicting
their malice on their neighbors.-Sdn-

MI. CoNKLING, Of New York, who
is commonly wont to excite harmless
laughter by posing as the Great Ameri-
can Turkey Cock, has recently taken
to sterner roles, and now grandilo-
quently poses as the Great American
Autocrat, shaking his Macassar oiled
locks wrathfully and threatening the
distinguished occupant Of the White
House with the knout. 1t is not nee
essary for the quaking partisans Of Mr..
Garfield to employ so deadly a missile as
the Orsini bomb to blow him up little
putting with a hand bellows will answer
all purposes and be less bloody, since
the eminent "third party' is already
blown up with conceit, nearly to the
bursting point, and slight additional
distention will cause his windy great
ness to share the fate of the frog in the
fable,
