The Presidents Condition.
Of Queen 14nne's County,.

Since our last report the CONDITION of
the President has remained unchanged,
or what little change has taken place has
given no hope of encouragement, but has
rather been of an unfavorable character.
Though the report Of Saturday last was
of a somewhat cheering character, still
that hope was soon dispelled for the
seeming change for the better was only
temporary, and was chiefly founded on the
fact that his stomach, which for some
days before that had been very weak,
gained some strength on Friday. On
Monday the President was again in a
critical condition, and there is reason to
fear that it is even more dangerous than
it has been at any time since he was shot.
Secretary Blaine's dispatch to Minister
Lowell was of very gloomy character,
and it probably gives much hope as is
possible under the circumstances, which
is very little indeed. On Wednesday a
mere glimmer of hope appeared to have
taken the place of Sundays despair
at the White House. The President has
not yet yielded to the last attack upon
his vitality, and still mere chance of re-
covery 1t does not appear now that the
naked truth can be more fairly stated than
this. His condition is critical and alarm
ing, and but few people outside limited
circle at the Executive Mansion think that
his recovery is possible. He may possibly
do so; the probabilities appear to be
against the hope that he will. The dan
ger appears to be that he'll die of eXhaus-
ton. All that can be said now is that
che patient is still alive, and not likely to
die suddenly unless some unexpected COM
plication arises. That he will ever again
walk among men in perfect health is a
possibility, scarcely probability. As
compared with his condition on Satur.
day he is gaining little as compared
with his condition month ago he has
lost ground So decidedly as to preclude a
reasonable hope.

Do Berne and Heine1i deserve a place

did Jewish blood flow in their veins, but
also Jewish sap in their nerves. The
flashes of lightning which they caused
to blaze over Germany now in hues of
the rainbow and then in dazzling streaks,
were charged with Jewish talmudic
electricity, 1t is true, outwardly they
both renounced Judaism, but only like
combatants who display the armor and

recommending his friend to read the
latest of them with attention. Mr.. A.
listens to him smoking his cigar thought
fully and taking it often out of his
mouth to blow off the ashes and to con-
template as it seems with an air of pro-
foundness how it burns and how the
smoke generates. The two friends 60
down to the club, and Y. jr., college
graduate, now trying to make career in
the legal profession, enters the room and
picks up the journal which his father
had dropped on the chair. If the learned
and pious writer's of that journal imagine
that they can MAKE any religious i'm
preston on this kind Of fyoung men, they
are greatly mistaken. Mr.. Y. jr. never
or seldom looks at the earnest articles
or the scolarly elucidations-he knows
everything better, and cares not straw
for these things. How does he
know everything bstter?" He has read
Paine's Age of reason, Volney's
Ruins" Gibbons Decline and Fall of
the Roman Empire" Maudsley's "Re-
sponsibility Of mental diseases, "Drapers
Conflict between religion and science" ;"
and few more of such books while yet
at college. OF course, then, he ought to
know all about religious subjects and
sentiments. Should any one tell him
that the historical views Of such authors
as regards religion may be biased and
one-sided, that the psy geological ele-
ments Of the human Constitution cannot
fully be explained BY che laws Of pathol-
ogy and that by all rationaljns ice it be

positive side of a subject befoIe be goes

was not worth his While to waste 5imo
on it; it is altogether subject which
lies beyond his sphere of activity. But
he finds time to laugh at the foolish
notions" of some religious people; he
finds time to pass off funny jokes on re-
ligious usages and to denounce them as
medieval nonsense. He looks into the
paper which his father has been reading
not with the object Of learning the opin-
ions of the writer's, but merely to while
away time. If he picks up an ungram-
matical sentence, or peculiar express
ion which iarrs on his sensitive organs
of---risibility, he is compensated for
his trouble.-Thus young Amer
lea stands toward religious subjects and
writer's.

THOUGHTS and FANCIES
CHAPTER H. (Conttnucd)

One thing is certain: the publishers
will not lose a subscriber in Mr.. Y. on
accout of my sketches. The reasons
for this are obvious Mr.. Y. is naturally
constituted to be thinking and reflect
ing man; if his education had not been
somewhat neglected. he would certainly
be able to produce some worthy con-
tributions to the world Of thought. As
it is, he is what may be termed in Eng
lish thinker at random in German
they have a phrase for it: BjerStuben-
Phaosoph He reflects and debates and
has often very striking idea to express
on any subject that may be broached to
him Mr.. Y, for instance, may have
never seen what Chinese letters look
like, except that which every, one can
see on fans and tea. boxes. But speak
to him of that language, and he will tell
you, that he could never acknowledge it
as a civilized tongue since the lines run
from the top to the lotion of the page
and not from the left to the right He
will also tell you that the system of that
language, having different sign for
every word or syllable, the Chinese
scholar must waste his best years in
learning to read and to write, and con-
sequently has little or no time to acquire
any higher branches of knowledge: he
must waste a lifetime on that which
our children learn at school in one year.
From this topic, Mr.. Y. will jump over
to the Coolie question, from thence to
the religions of Buddha and Lama, from
thence to religion in general, for which
he has very little regard, from thence to
his opinions Of religious teachers and
ministers, from thence to the standing
and component members Of various con-
gregations, ETC., etc. Lawyers and legal
cases; physicians, patients and diseases;
merchants bankers, trades and finances;
capital and labor; politics and political,
dignitaries- verything will come into
the course of the conversation which
originated from the innocent topic of
Chinese letters. And Mr. Y. will tell
you something about everybody. You
wonder at the variety of subjects which
he will connect with one subject and at
the amount of talking he can do, not less
than at the self-assurance with which he
expresses his opinions on all this. Well he
has gathered all this from popular news
paper articles or from what he heard
from his friends at glass Of beer. This
is why he reads my sketches so
diligently, although not always with
pleasure. The other day | have heard
him quote a whole chapter from the
first series of my "Though and Fan
cies" as his own and original, and speak
most bitterly against the thoughts ex
pressed in one Of my Kaleidoscope
sketches. lie knew not that | was the
guilty author OF both, and probably con
sidered me q very dull companion be-
cause [ had no remarks to make and
smiled approvingly at everything he
said.
Mr.. Y, as I have said before, has an
active brain and that activity was never
tempered or guided by regular and
systematic studies. He is better Judge

Children at Prayer Meeting.

Is the prayer meeting Of your church
pleasant place for the children Of your
Sunday school? If not, why not5 Is
there any, good reason why the prayer
meeting should not be attractive to the
boys and girls Of the congregation The.
services are or ought to be, more varied,
more familiar, and more practical, than
any others held by the church. M my
voices are heard, many songs are sung
it would seem that people could be in
duced to attend such service more easily
than any others. A bright boy of six
teen, whose mother prevailed on him to
go with her to the weekly prayer meet
ings few weeks ago, said to her, as they
walked homeward, Mother, that's the
best meeting ever attended" He was
easily induced to go again, and has since
found that that meeting was not bit
better than the average. We know of a
prayer meeting in which one quarter of
the regular attendants are boys and girls

A Beautiful Pillow.

The wife of a Judge in one of the
mountain towns of Japan became greatly
interested in the character and works of
Jesus
This judge had an only child, lovely
little girl about eight years old, whose
name, being interpreted, was "a strong
wall"
This child loved to hear her mother
read the New Testament, and was par
ticularly fond of Luke's Gospel. She
listened eagerly to the story of Jesus
birth in the manger, of the star that
guided the wise men to him with their
fragrant offerings, to his wondrous heal
ing of the sick and casting out of de-
mons, and to the account of the great
draught of fishes brought into the nets
of the weary disciples who had toiled all
night and taken nothing She rejoiced
with the widow of Main, the ruler
family, and Mary and Martha, who re-
ceived back their beloved Children and
brother from the dead. She listened
eagerly, and with tears, to the story OF
Christs betrayal and crucifxion, and
ascension to glory. And she loved him,
and resolved to be his child, and to tell all
her little heather playmates of his love
and his mercy.
But very soon after this dark shad-
ow fell over this happy home.
This dear child was seized by the dis
ease we call diphtheria, and lay at the
very door of death. While her mother
who loved her just as mothers in
Christian lands love their children-sat
weeping beside her, she opened her Ian
guild eyes and said, calmly: when you
lay me in my casket, mother, please put
your Gospel of Luke under my head for
a pillow, it is SO beautiful; and don t
cry for me, for I'm going away to live
with Jesus" And we doubt not her
gentle, trusting spirit is at home with
Jesus.-Helpirg Hand.
