Charleston, when / was there at the
raising of the flag over Fort Sumter,
a servant of an honored Governor
of that State; and more perfect la
dy / never stood in the presence of /;
and with great pathos she said: l
had but one daughter, and she has
been carried off from me. l asked
her if she had any other children,
and she said she had four, but, said
she, while | cared for my MASTER s
children my own precious ones l
could not take care of, and they
have died one by one Such self
sacrifice and love will not go unre-
Quilted by and by. here are deep
places in this life that we don't often
explore and by and by there will be
great scenes in the great day of Re-
velation. Of this love Paul was a
most magnificent example. Next
to not loving in this life is the dan
ger of loving-when q great soul
pours itself out on an object and
can't receive any return. Great is
the power of soul love, and if this
be so when the object is unworthy,
what must it be when it meets q
worthy object2 Cast away your
crowns; there is no coronation like
the love of the soul. The founda-
ton of all Christian life is ethical.
Right living, right speaking, that is
not spiritual fever, but it is the foun-
dation for it. l can't say to every
one that comes here, LAY aside your
sins at once and enter into this full
expression of love- for you can't do
it, and you won't do it; but / do
say, begin. won't say to any, your
moral qualities are sufficient, for
they are not, but they are the be-
glnnings of the Christian expert
ence. Christianity is the result of
education in the line of the princi-
pie of evolution. Men are frighten-
ed at evolution and think that it is
going to destroy religion; why, re-
ligion is but education, and educa-
ton is the fruit of evolution. To
expect that soul can at once enter
into the higher truths of religion is
as foolish as it would be for a child
to dismiss its music teacher at the
end of the first lesson, saying now
l am perfect So with religion. 1t
is a gradual process. Seme men

SKELETON SERMONS.


A-AL2-4 aOoH NN Il A4NO-
New York sun, Feb. 26.
A well matched pair p said DIR.
Talmage yesterday morning, when
he had finished the story of Anan-
las and Sapphira. "There is no such
thing as a white lie. All lies are as
black as perdition. At times the air
Of our cities is filed with falsehood,
lies of all classes, from that of the
mechanics hammer TO the merch-
ants yardsticks, and sometimes lies
sit in the doors of churches. The
woods are always honest. The rye
does not move out over night. Corn
sheaves never make false weight.
The mountain brook is always cur
rent. The golden wheat is no coun-
terfeit. Yet we hear of the dishon-
esty of the farmers wagon. In
some of them there is not an honest
spoke or a truthfulrung from tongue
TO tailboard. When Brooklyn and
New York weep for their sins Long
Island and Westchester must join in.
A lady said the other day, Il
have told my last fashionable lie.
There had been a knock at her door
during the day, and she had sent
word, Not at home That night
she learned that dear friend on the
point of death had sent for her,
friend with whom she had an agree
ment to be ut her dying bedside to
receive a secret which she was to
disclose.
Social life is full of lying apollo
gies. People apologize that the furn-
ace is out of order, when they have
not had a fire in il all winter. They
apologize for the fare on their tables
when you know they never lived
any better. They deprecate their
most luxurious entertainments so as
to extort compliments from you.
They tell you that the pictures on
their walls are the work Of great
masters, heirlooms in the Family,
presented by dukes to their grand
fathers. People who will lie about
nothing else will lie about pictures.
Society is crowded with shams and
cheats and counterfeits. You must
not laugh outright; you must smile.
YSu must not dash quickly across a
room, because it is vulgar. Society
is full Of grimaces and abs and sim
pering namby- -pambyism. The tor
tured guest retires from a banquet
and says he has enjoyed himself.
The mountain cabin, with its good
cheer and freedom, has more enjoy
ment in IL than the frescoed ice
houses and refrigerators of the me-
tropolis.
There are ecclesiastical lies.
The sects lie about one another. You
cannot believe what a Calyinist says
of the belief of an Arminian. The
fact Is the Arminian believes no such
thing, and, vice versa, you cannot
believe the Arminian statement of
the Calvinist's belief All down the
ages has come the lie that Presby-
terians believe there are infants q
span long in hell Presbyterians
never believed that. You say you
heard a man preach it. / say you
didn't. Oilen a church is misrepre-
sentcd by other churches when it
comes TO be prosperous.
" 1t is lying TO depreciate the value
of what you are buying. Tho Bible
alludes 10 this class when it says
Ii is naught; it is naught saith the
buyer; and when he hath gone his
way he boasteth.

Hen Never Tell the Truth Again.

/ heard good story the other
day of a Brooklyn gentleman who is
now a member of the State Assem-
bly,. he belongs to a clubin South
Brooklyn TO which a number of poll
tieians belong, and every night there
was a game of poker at the rooms.
One night he became so interested
in the game that he did not quit till
nearly O'clock in the morning.
When he got home he found his
wife sitting up for him.
"What has kept you out so late?"
the gentle spouse inquired.
"Well, my dear, l was down at the
club and got to playing poker. was
out and couldn't leave till | got even. .
"Well, 90 to bed suggested the
loving wife.
As soon as the poker player was
safely asleep his better-half put on
her street clothes and proceeded to
the club house to ascertain whether
or not her liege lord was telling the
truth. Arriving at the house she
saw the colored steward-Jehn by
name, l-.-e-g. --- q .rtrsa -Ea-
"Has Mr.--been here to-night?'
she asked ofthe dusky youth.
"Yes'm."
"What time did he leave?"@ rrr
John Thought it would never do
to say about 6 o'clock in the morn
ing, so with a view of smoothing
things over he determined to tell a
lie. l1ta E enga6 = ~

LENGTH OF HAIR.

Brooklyn Eagle: 1t has been as
certained that the ordinary length
of the hair, as shown by the meas
urement in women, ranges between
twenty and thirty-six inches, and
it's weight from six to eight ounces.
However, if the hair is closely shaw
ed it becomes persistent, and also
increases in bulk and strength.
The hair grows at the rate of one
line and half per week, or six and
a half inches per year, being twen-
ty-seven feet if we live to be eighty.
The shape of small hairs is cylin-
drical, and more or less oval for
long hairs. The hairs of the head
are never cylindrical, and those of
the beard and eyebrows are some
what oval. When left to their ma
tural growth the end or tip is always
conical and pointed The surface of
the scalp presents about 120 super
fetal inches, and the number of hairs
on the entire head amounts to 90
900 in a thin head of hair, but in a
thick head of hair the amount is
much greater, for many of the pores
give passages to two hairs. AT its
lower end the hair-tube terminates
in cul de sac, and this portion of its
cavity is filled by an accumulation of
freshly formed cells and granules,
which constitute the root of the hair;
above this point the little mass of
cells separate into two parts; a CEN
tral part of a cylindrical figure,
which is the newly formed hair, and
peripheral layer, which encloses
the former, and is continuous with
and is the sheath of the scarf-skin
which lines the tube.

Mr.. Beecher yesterday morning
made an earnest appeal on behalf
of the sufferers by the late floods,
and a collection for them was taken

from Galatians IL, 20. "The dis

r. CLAY CRA WORD AND THE
NRW LSSTE.

NEW ISSUE,
MsaPAi. Ledger
A sensational story Is revived
through The MORRIsTowN GAZETTE
to the effect that during the war
Colonel r. Clay Crawford, native of
East Tennessee, who served in the
Federal army, broke into the branch
bank of Tennessee at ROgersville,
found large quantity of unsigned
bills, signed them, or bad il done,
and then passed the coRnterfeits as
genuine. IL is further stated that
the Colonel was cOurtmartialed at
Knoxville for the offense and dis
hOnorably dismissed from the ser
vice. Joseph Grigsby, who served
under him, sets forth the facts at
considerable length. We remember
of hearing OF this after the war
Crawford was quite a character, IL
all accounts were true. He figured
largely Just after the war as a Wall
street broker, and was reported TO
have made a large fortune very sud
denly. A year or two later he turn
cd up as an adyenturer In Mexi-
CO, where be engaged in some reck-
less revolutionary schemes Col. l..
J. Dupre, now Of Washington, wrote
up some very graphic articles for
the Memphis dailies, and referred
particularly TO The Rogersville ex-
ploits ard the lavish disbursements
subsequently made of Tennessee
new issue. Dupre predicted then
that the State would some day be
confronted with these bogus bills for
payment Ii seems to be coming
around that way Crawford, in ad-
dition To his other accomplishments,
was said TO be a very fine penman,
quite capable Of initiating the neces-
sary signatures. If these counter
feiJs are out il will be a difficult
thing at this late day TO distinguish
them from the genuine, much Of
which is faded and blurred. Craw-
ford disappeared from public view
about the time Of Msximillian, and
has never, that we are aware OF,
turned up since. The reminiseence
revived Is 40 interesting one, whe-
ther il Is strictly correct or not.
