Pastors Receptioss.

The first OF the spring series of the pastor IS
receptions, occurred on Monday evening at
the chapel of the First Baptist church. These
receptions were a very pleasant feature of the
church socials last year, and will no doubt re-
suit equally SO the present. The occasion
was rendered even more enjoyable, not only
season, bnt was also intended as a special
welcome to Mrs. Barnes, who had very re-
Gently returned from Florida, where she had
been spending the winter. The missionary
band of the church composed of
twenty four of it's young lady
members thought it proper time to give
Mrs. Barnes pleasant surprise, which they
did by presenting her with beautiful silk
and satin quilt, one block of which was con-
tributed by each member of the band. The
presentation was made by Miss Mamie Drake,
and was fifty responded to by the recipient.
Another pleasant depression in the evenings
endowment was embodied in rather an original
idea and was introduced by Mrs. j. 81. Drake,
and consisted of nearly 100 small earthen jugs
in the form of childrens' saving banks, being
distributed among those present, SO that
they could garner their spare change
until next fall, when the fortunate owners are
invited to a lawn party to be held at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Wakefield, on Dayton's Bluff,
when the contents of the jugs are to be turned
into the treasury of the Baptist missions, SO
if some of the good people of the church
were seen late on Monday evening going
home with little brown jug, the crlticising
public will please understand it was mis-
sionary jug. The evening was enliyened by
several choice vocal and instrumental selec-
tlons, no regular musical programme being

The Power Behind tho Throne.

Rev. NJ. N. Gilbert gave an excellent lecture
before the Y. M. c. A. last Thursday evening,
taking for his theme The Power Behind the
Throne. The lecturer, in Imagination, took
his audience back to the early Saxon days and
noted the changes to illustrate the great prin-
ciple he had in view with reference to the sub
lect of his lecture.
The principle is just that there is present in
many people stimulating its universal heart,
a governing idea, master motive, which
bears up and comes forward in this way or in
that-the action OF the nations; and secondly
that in some form or other within the
heart of every individual personal
master mechanic IA power behind the throne),
which governs and controls his actions so as
either to make or mar his life-work. The
principles of impelling power glistens like a
river start across the armament of the ages.
They glow in the lives of individual men in
every pursuit of life-lnstanced in the lives of
Demosthenes, Michael Angelo Columbus,
etc.
:, To sum up in one last word, this world
mighty battle is raging around us in which
we are volunteers. The powers behind the
throne are the leaders of truth and falsehood,
of right and wrong.
It needs no splendid occasion, no stately
ampitheater, d pomp and prOdigality OF out
ward circumstances-for its seat in the hu-
man heart. But its effects and issues are in
the world.
Fierce and furious still does the mighty
conflict ever rage. II the sons of America
win j n that fight, then no other can injure
dignity her more, ten thousand fold, than
whole fleets of on-plated vessels and batter
les glittering on every promontory with pom
derOus guns

1T is his intention to make this play a special
feature IN the amusement programme at The

the man, and not the man the mind. Thou
art the SOUL says Hierocles. but the body is
thine" No one has, however, more happily
expressed this idea than Alexander Arbuthnot,
Scottish theologian and poet of the sixteenth
century, as follows:
What am I, whence produced, and for what
end?
Whence drew being, to what period tend?
Am l tn ABANDONED orphan of blind chance?
Dropp'd by wild atoms in disordered dance?
Or, from an endless cham of causes wrought,
And OF unthinking substance, born with
thought,
Am but what seem, mere flesh and blood,
A branching channel with O may food?
Inc purple stream that through my vessels
glides,
Dull and unconscious flows, like common
tides,
The pipes through which the circling juices
stray,
Are not that thinking i, no more are they;
This frame, compacted with transcendant
skill,
OF moving joints, Obedent to my will;
Nursed from the fruitful glebe, like yonder
tree,
Wakes and wastes,-I call it mine, not me.

The growth of art, as applied to painting,
in city or community, must ever afford a
captivating theme for philosophic thought
aud speculation. The period of CESSATION,
particularly with regard to painting, is newt
ably long and laborious, that is if the produc-
tons are to bear the test of comparison with
what has been affirmed to possess the qualities
Of worth and Beauty.
Some day in the not very remote future the
task of compiling history of what has been
accomplished in this direction in st. Paul
will be attended with both pleasure and profit.
At present any serious attempt to speak of
art per Sc, as having a firm and settled foot
ing IN 81. Paul, might result disastrously. But
as art is long tits good to speak of begin
ming, which in this instance, is attended by
the most encouraging symptoms of enthusi-
asm and progression.
1t is true that the pioneers of every depart
ment of art and labor have almost insuperable
difficulties to surmount and contend with.
The little cOterie of worthy artists in this
city and their'tOo meagre intelligent follow
ing will understand the meaning, of tine last
sentence. The object of this sketch is not to
elaborate dissertation on the subject of art but
rather to call attention to particular instance
of endeavor as manifested in individual excel
lence as 1t is the purpose to praise whatever
is worthy WHICH, pTOuuCcu NY uOIne tdicnL anu

stance is work from the brush of Miss Julia
Gauthier, young lady whose native talent
and pains taking labors haYe hitherto received
favorable mention in these columns.

the window of Hough's book store on Waba-
| shaw street. The subject is entitled "The
| Captive" and represents young girl in
| bondage. The conception is original and
| beautiful and the thought is truthfully trans
ferred to the canvas, the execution showing
| decided improvement.
| The foreground represents young girl,
| simply attired in q skirt of dark stuff, the
| shawl-like end of which is thrown over
| the right shoulder, thus leaving the body
l from the waist up clothed in loose habit Of
| white, while the left arm is fully exposed and
| bare.
| Her arms manacled at the wrists andEthe al
| mosphere and background are permeated by
| intense blackness and gloom. From this
| out in beautiful and touching relief. The
| expression is of mingled resignation and de
| spair, and the prevailing one being one Of ex
| quisite sadness.
The features are chiselled and delicate the
| lips and nostrils being indicative of keen sensi
bility and delicacy Over broad low brow
pallid in its suggestlVeness of hopelessness anC
pain falls a mass of short ringlets.
The subject is decidedly well executed ant
| the talented artist has more than ever demon
strated her claim TO rank high in her pro
