Ministerial circles of the A. NJ. E,
Church have been stirred from center to
circumference by a letter recently pnb-
hshed in the Christian Recorder by Rev.
j. c. Embry, of Kansaa. In this letter
Rev. Embry charges that the Bishops
of the church are in the habit of selling
the best appointments in the various
conferences to the highest bidder. This
is very serious charge against the APP
pointing power in the church, and unless
the matter is thoroughly sifted and prov
en- to be untrue, it will result in much
harm to the reputation of the A. NJ E.
clergy. Rev. Embry is quite promi-
nent minister in the connection, having
been educational agent and lately one of
the delegates to the methodist Ecumen-
ical at London; and his statements ought
to be thoroughly investigated and dis
proven, if possible. The Kansas con-
ference has already taken official notice
of the accusation, by appointing spe-
cial committee consisting of the follow
ing ministers to investigate the charge:
Revs. Harrod, Turner, Carter, Hub
bard, and Braxton.

The Love story of a sreakfast Can.

A jaunty breakfast cap, says Clara Belle,
is quite too killing on a pretty head, and is
one of the most dangerous adjuncts of
| coquetry. l knew an instance the past
summer where cleverly worn breakfast
cap repaired what had threatened to prove
fatal mischief A girl of very moderate
natural pretentions to beauty, but mighty
artful in dressing and adorning her hair was
in love with a fine fellow. and was fast
making him love her. She invited him to
| spend week with her family in their sea-
side cottage, with the perfectly proper in
tention of bringing him to the point of
popping the matrimonial question. Well.
after he had been there several days, was
well-nigh captiyated, he saw a sight that
disenchanted him. The girl had washed her
hair and taken a nap while it dried. While
scooting through the hallway she met the
damp, matted close to her head and stray
Cling in thin disorder down her neck 1t
required second look to recognize her.
Whenever he had seen her before her hair
was pulled, frizzled and banged in manner
that made her head shapely and attractive.
Now the homeliness of her face was unre-
lieved: all style had departed, and she
looked commonplace to shocking degree.
She realized the disaster Immediately,
and came to my room with tears in her
eyes.
"What shall 1 do?" she whimpered.
"Finish the breakfast cap you are making"
said, "and wear it in your ablest manner
at brea kfast."
She caught the idea and acted on it. At
the breakfast table she appeared in the
most coquettish cap imaginable. poised at
precisely the right angle on her srtfully-
dressed hair. The fellow had said the even
ing before that he would go home the next
day; but the breakfast cap restored the
spell of enchantment, which had been tenn
porarily dispelled, and before his visit WAS
over he was engaged. don't know what
the effect will be when, as husband, he sees
the girl with her hair down his wife. l

fashions. the potency of nice breakfast

The Washington Sunday Item, in an
article headed President Arthur as a
Party Leader" has this to say of the
new President;
1.-The colored people of the country
know the President. He has always
been ARREST of the sentiment of the coun-
try, so far as We are concerned. Those
of us, who have met him personally
have ever found him genial and APP
proachable, with warm interest in what
ever concerns our permanent welfare.
If we were to point out from a study of
his character, what elements united in
Kim to make successful President, we
should epitomize them by saying, he is
first gentleman by nature and training;
next, he has passive rather than an
aggressive quality of mind; third his
eve is on the future move; than the past,
he knows the value of moving slowly
and cautiously, he has always exhibited
rare tact, and GOODNESS, he has the cour-
age of his convictions, and has never
felt the necessity of apologizing for be-
ing a straight out Republican, and what
is rarer in the history of American pol
itics, has never acted on the Clarendon
of sacrificing ones friend to reward po-
litical enemies"

The Sunny side of Home.
IA, K. McClure.l


Take the sunny side of home. The home
is the sunniest side of every great people.
Without devotion to home there can be no
devotion to country. The home is the
cradle of patriotism; it is the fountain of
happiness not only to individuals, but to ma
tions as well and it is the one spot of earth
that should be guarded from needless shad-
ows. Enough must come to each, even
when most faithfully guarded by oil the
multiplied offices Of love; but few there are
who make their homes what they could or
should be. 1t is only few years since
visited strange people away in the fast
nesses of the Rocky Mountains. They
were then separated from civilization by a
thousand miles of trackless plains and
passes where the savage ruled. Towering
cliffs walled them in from the outside world,
but the lovely valley Of Salt Lake bloomed
with beauty and plenty. They cherished
religion that desecrated the sanctity of
home; but while hearts corroded or sobbed
within, the humblest home was gnarled
with the richest of natures offerings
The little adobe cottage was ever decked
with green vines and fragrant flowers
Neglect and delapidation were forbidden by
the religion founded on lust and greed, and

An Old story.

When Davy Crockett was in Washington,
he was one day sitting in a hotel toasting his
shins, when Senator from Massachusetts,
entered. Approaching the old frontiersman
the latter said:
Crockett, a large procession of your con
stituents are marching up the street. You
ought to go out and greet them"
Crockett hurriedly arose and went out
upon the hotel steps, when large drove Of
mules passing caught his eye. He quietly
watched them until the last one had passed,
and then returned to his seat by the stove.
The Massachusetts Senator was still there,
and as the redoubtable Davy dropped into
his chair, asked:
swell, did you see your friends?"
''Oh yes" was the response
They look remarkably well, too"
Certainly, sir"
''And where are they going in such solid
bodyp
Crockett turned to the Senator with q
quiet, calm expression, and replied:
'"rhe blamed fools are all going down to
Massachusetts to teach school,"
And they gazed moment into each
others faces and sadly walked up to exer-
else the bar-keeper awhile

create. The lilies toll not, neither do they
spin; but they humble the pride of the ar
rogant and pretending, by making match
less beauty the common heritage of all.
Look around you in your great Common
wealth. and you will be amazed to learn how
large proportion of our homes are painful
monuments of neglect. Many of these with
rich farms around them, are less inviting
than the barn where the OK is fattened or
the crib where the harvest is stored. The
horse, the cow and the pig must be thought
fully sheltered, for they repay care with
gold; but the wife and child are only beasts
of burden; and the cool shades of summer,
the sunshine of winter, the sweet odor of the
pretty flower, the health giving relish of the
luscious fruits, and the refinement that
makes woman nobler and man better, are
rejected by the ignorance, Incidence, or
greed which efface the line between man
brute. Such a home wages perpetual war
fare against every inspiration that would
elevate men, women and children above the
animals around them, and all the charms of
the family circle are dissipated by the grow
cling plodder who weighs the joys of life in
the scales of gain. Look at the repulsive
home; what a blot upon humanity; what
mockery of Godl There are worn and
frOwning mothers; there are smileless chill
dren; there are hopeless slaves; all taking
the shortest and thorniest path to what they
most dread-the grave; and when thy go
hence they are lamented in their homes
mainly or only as they diminish the COM
mercial value of the household. The home
that is the shrine of the heart, may be the
lowliest of the lowly. but it is beautiful in
all its attributes. and it tempers the weari-
ness of honest toll by its countless blessings,
which all the wealth Of an A>tor or a Van
derbilt could not buy. Would you know
how to distinguish it from the many which
bear the semblance but have not the sub
stance2 Watch the pattering feet of chill
dren as they roam about in search of happi-
ness; see where they pause to pour out their
artless tribute in merry laugh and honest
gratitude. They point to the sunny home
as the needle points to the pole, and where
they are unknown as welcome guests, there
is no home. The home that has been made
the sunny side of life never loses its benef-
cent influence over those it has sheltered in
childhood, however they may be joetled by
the rude vicissitudes of life. One of the
most memorable "reminiscences of Cali
fornia Is told of the first great queen of song
who appeared in San Francisco, among the
restless men who gathered there thirty
years ago. They had learned not to value
life; they had become q law unto themselves
that de6ed all the teachings of their youth;
but when alone Sweet Home" was sung,
tears scalded the bronzed faces, and sobs
welled up from hearts which had left senti-
ment behind them for adventure. Take the
sunny side of home. 1t will be we'll

Rabbits can do much harm TO a

few they can be protected by bands of
cloth, or even tarred paper. These pests
