FOR THE DAY AND THE HoUI

A Syrian convert to Christianity was
urged by his employer to work on Sun
day, but he declined. But" said the
master, ''does not your Bible say that
if a man has an ass or an OK that falls
into a pit on the Sabbath day he may
pull him out?n, "Yes,n answered the
convert; ''but if the ass has a habit of
falling into the same pit every Sabbath
day, then the man should either fill up
the pit or sell the ass"
YES" said the actor to the clergy
man, as they mel after service, 81 was
in front this morning. Business good,
isn't it? Why, you must have had
1,400 people in the house; all the best
seats filed, and a good many standees.
1 call it. good business for this season,
and with strong attractions against
you. You've caught on in this town,

said the handsome thing to the clergy

The Rev. Joseph Cooks wife has ar
rived in New Haven from a tour around
the world. She left her husband in
India, trying to prevent the people from
accepting the skepticism of Western
Europe. She says that they are famil.
lar with the writings of Herbert Spen-
Ger, Mill, Tyndali and Huxley. 1.-THE
lecturer combated this tide of unbeliei
and agnosticism, and the Brahmins
heard his denunciation of caste with.
out demonstrations of disapproval.'
Mrs. Cook resents the suggestion that
they did not understand it.
A recent effort to inJure MI. Beech.
er's reputation has failed. For about
twenty years Thomas j. Turner was
MI. Beecher's farmer. Turner died,
and his executors found his affai.s in
rather loose shape. They supposed his
estate was larger than it proved to be,
and imagined from certain book en-
tries that Mr.. Beecher was owing him
borrowed money. They sued Mr.. R.
upon this supposed Indebtedness. The
son of Mr.. Beecher, who has attended
to his fathers financial affairs for sew.
eral years, stated that when he took
charge of the business he found Turner
holding notes of Mrs. Beecher's to the
amount of $1,000. He informed Tur-
ner that said notes were valaeless with
out Mr.. Beecher's signature, and caused
the same to be taken up and a new note
given by Mr. Beecher in their stead.
He presented this note in court, can
celled, and also the check for the
money. This ended the matter, and
completely indicated the pastor.
Well, girls, now that you have grad
uated, got your sheepskins, and are NO
longer merry, light-hearted, romping,
rosy checked school girls, don't sit down
and fold you hands across your laps
and musingly say, "What nextp" Your
education in the great school of.life has
only just begun. You have just COME
through the flowery garden of youth
you have been walking upon moss COW
cred paths of pleasure, studded here
and there with roses and evergreens
and just reached the foot of the hill O.
life-a rough and rugged hill, scattered
with roses and flowers, under which
grow thorns and thistles. Upon The
top of that hill you can see the ''beauti
full gates aiar." Look up, you'll never
fall. Be careful where you put you
pretty feet, lest in making the %journe,
you tread upon thistles and thorns in
stead of flowers and roses. May you
young lives in future be as happy a
they have in the past, and when you
have reached the end of your journey
may you present such credentials t.
good old st. Peter as will make hin
give you a cordial welcome, and OF
commencement Day" may the Grea'
Instructor of us all give each one ant
all of you the diploma of His grace
crown of glory.-Louisville Courier
