Rachel, the French Actress

She was Jewess, born in poverty, and
gifted with talent. She became a great
actress, but was not noble character.
She was almost worshiped for while by
the lovers of the soul destroying theatre.
After some years of such success as this,
she was attacked by consumption and
died, aged thirty weight. She was buried
in Pere la Chaise, Paris, JAM H. 1858.
When dying, she called for her Jewels,
which she had gained by her labors on
the stage. She lamented having to part
with her treasures so soon. She seems
to have died without hope, while some
Jewish ceremonies were being performed.
The following is an extract of letter
written by Rachel not long before her
death
{" 1t sometimes seems as though night
were suddenly settling down upon me-
and felt kind of great void in my
head and in my understanding. Every
thing is extinguished all at once, and
your Rachel is left the merest wreck.
All poor me That me of which 1 was so
proud, too proud, perhaps behold it to-
day, so enfeebled that scarcely anything
of it is left. X y Adieu, my friend !
This letter will perhaps be the last. You
who have known Rachel so brilliant, who
have seen her in her luxury and her
splendor, who have so often applauded
her in her triumphs-what difficulty you
would have in recognizing her to- day in
the species of feshless spectre which she
has become, and which she carries about
with her increasingly !"
What sad confession of dying act
ress and what condemnation does it
place on the theatre THAT enemy of vir-
tue and school Of vice. Christians should
avoid the theatre, but they should try to
save the souls of it's victims.-A. ]. REY-
NoLDs in Herald G P,'es6yter.

worst Of it. There is yet one direction il
which we might make stand. History
should be strong point for in history
we are approaching the scientific field
and In history nobody can doubt that we
have made in some respects enormous
advance. The Anglo-Saxon and Char
lemagne have been nearly abolished, and
that is understood to mean that we have
made great advance in accuracy of re-
search. But, from the literary point Of
view, it may be doubted whether we
could meet without misgiving such a
champion as Macaulay. The difference
is significant. 1t is easy to point out
Macaulay's glaring defects the limita.
ton of his political views; the offensive
glitter Of his style; and, in that respect
at least one living historian seems to be
Justly his superior. Yet when we read
the Essays" and the first part of the
History" we are less confident The
extraordinary fullness of knowledge, the
command of material, the power of group
ing events and forming them into clear
and flowing narrative are so undeniable
that we are inclined to admit, it spite OF
his faults, that he is unapproached by
his successor in the power which goes to
monumental work. Modern writers
seem to be sometimes the victims of an
indigestion caught at the State Paper
Office; sometimes they are tempted to
tack together series of brilliant pamph-
lets and trust to fortune to make it his
tory. AT present they seem scarcely
capable of turning out work so massive,
so finely executed, and marked by such
unity OF design as their forefathers. And
yet we may admit that, in history at
least, we have the advantage of a serious
and energetic body of students really
achieving good work, and at least ac-
cumulating the material of literary tri-
umphs. Casting a rapid glance over
these facts the conclusion seems to be
inevitable. The literary, like the ma
tural, harvest has been OF late blighted
and scanty. We have passed from a
land flowing with milk and honey into a
comparative desert. AS johnson said
when he went from England to Scotland
we see the flower dying away to the
stalk. In utilitarian and scientific
sense we may be making progress in the
regions of Imagination and artistic
achleyement-so far, at least, as litera-
ture is Commemorative have been pro-
crossing backward. Great names are
scarce; there is hardly a leader left who
can stir the enthusiasm of the young and
make US feel that the torch of intellec-
tual light is being delivered into worthy
hands. If we would not fatter the time,
must we not confess that we are at least
crossing barren zone, and at present
without any distinct glimpse of a fertile
region beyond Tile CormhiU Magazine

Aspects of Religious Work
Abroad.

1t is the habit to speak of certain ma
lions as Christian, while the truth is they
are almost entirely destitute of every
thing like vital Christianity. They are
little less pagan than the most heather
lsh lands and are properly fields fol
Christian mission work, not of the easiest
or most encouraging character either
Switzerland is fair illustration in point
Rev. DIR. Guder, of Berne, at the Evan.
gelical Alliance Conference at Basic
speaking of the religious condition Of
Switzerland, said: No one shrinks from
boldly confessing the most decided unbe.
lief. Attendance on the worship of God
has perceptibly decreased from what it
was twenty or even ten years ago On
an average not more than one in ten goes
to church. Attendance at the Lord S
Supper has decidedly decreased. Divorce
is easy and divorces are rapidly increas-
ing This is the dark side; but there is
advancing an ever-increasing host which
has never bowed the knee to Baal. The
Methodists, by their characteristic activ-
ity, have, after twenty years labor, gained
most respectable position in the very
bosom of the national church. Sunday
Schools have increased in number. The
Basic Missionary Society have over one
hundred missionaries, with total of over
FIVE hundred agents. The Free Church
of Canton de Vaud also carries on mis-.
SION
Sweden presents picture of far more
pleasing character. Rev. A. j. Arnold
writing from there says: My mission on
behalf of the Alliance brought me into
association with Christians of various de-
nominations, and found in every direc-
ton signs of great spiritual activity
The Home Missionary Society of the Lu-
theran Church is doing a good work
through its agencies, numbering several
hundreds in various parts Of the country.
In Stockholm the churches with Evan
gelical or Low Church pastors are espe-
cially well attended. One of these has a
congregation of nearly FIVE thousand in
regular attendance. The Nonconformist
churches, too, are gathering in large mum
bers. In one case the chapel seats about
1000, and is crowded at the Sunday SER
vices, while the number of enrolled mem
bers is 1850 This church has added
nearly three hundred members in the
last six months. Another church, which
had fifty members four years ago, has
now 40 members, and among the con-
verts of this present year are ninety young
persons from the Sunday School. The
children have arranged special prayer
meetings among themselves, over which
an adult presides, and these meetings,
under Gods blessing, have largely con.
tributed to the result just named. An.
other church rejoiced in eight hundred
conversions last year, nearly one hundred
OF these being from the Sunday School
And as it is in Stockholm, SO it is in
many parts Of the country.

The Decay of Literature.

About 30 years ago there were novel
lists OF the first rank; writers such that
the announcement of new publication
by them sent a thrill through every cor
ner not inaccessible to circulating libra
ries. In the period from 20 to 40 years
removed from us, we had been startled
by the new power revealed, though not
tor the first time, in " Vanity Fair" and
had eagerly accepted Pendennis" and
the Newcomes' and Esmond." A
foolish controversy, still sometimes con-
tlnued, was raging as to the rival merits
OF their author and the contemporary
author of " Pickwick" and David Cop
perheld. y Wiser persons enjoyed both,
and there were few months in which one
did not greet with delight the appear
ance of number of one serial in the
familiar yellow, and another in the
equally familiar green. Then the whole
literary world had just been thrown into
an excitement never since paralleled, by
the sudden apparition of Jane Eyre. 4"
A greater writer was making a more
gradual approach to fame by the publica-
ton of the "Scenes of Clerical Life. &"

would be hard to produce later paral-

ask whether we have such novelists now.
But, allowing every reader to select his
favorite or pair of favorites to be worthy

it hard to FIJI up list capable of doing
battle against their predecessors. Have
we any counterbalancing considerations

The year is varying quantity accord

ured Of course, it is the time within
which the earth makes her passage
around the sun. But if this time be
measured by the period of the earth's re-

heavens, as seen from the sun, it is a
"sidereal year." 365 days, 6 hours, 9 min

The time in which the earth makes the
circuit from her perihelion, that is the
point of her orbit where she is nearest to
the sun, around to the same point again,

astronomers have selected as the true
solar year. 1t is the time included be-
tween two "vernal equinoxes. This
vernal equinox is that instant in the
spring of the year when the equator of
the earth, if extended, would pass
through the center of the sun. 1t is also
the time when the days and nights, all
over the globe, are of equal length. The

The Word "Wife. 4"

word "wife" one of the most beautiful
and appropriate in the language. He des-
cribed it as the great word with which
the English and Latin languages con.

>some day get word for it instead OF
that femme. But what do you think il
comes from? The great value of the
Saxon words is, that they mean some
thing. Wife means weaver" You
must either be housewives or house
moths, remember that. In the deeper
sense, you must either weave M ems for
tunes and embroider them, or feed upon
and bring them to decay. Wherever a
true wife comes, home is always around
her. The stars may be over his head

may be the fire at his feet, but home is
where she is, and for noble woman it
stretches far around her, better than

The Independent has been doing some
figuring in reply to the question asked
by Rev. George Pentecost, of Brooklyn ;
" Has not converting sinners to Christ
become almost a lost art2" 1t finds that
the addition to the Congregational
