Waiting.

"They also serve" says Milton, "who
stand and wait" We would add, they
only can serve who have been taught to
stand and wait. There must be a read
mess to receive the teaching of God in
all matters before VIZ can become fitted
to do anything acceptable to Him. Wei
know that waiting is often regarded as;
an insignificant action, and yet some of
the results are of great value in the eyes
of most men. What is it that enables q
sensitive soul to bear affliction, to lie on
a bed of sickness for months, and to
raise up the weary head in gratitude to
God? Waiting! What is it that teaches
any man to say, as Job said, even when
his heart was breaking: "The Lord
giveth and the Lord taketh away;
blessed be the name Of the Lord?" It
is not what men call patience. 1t is not
the stoical determination to endure in
evitable pain. 1t is nothing but near
ness to Gods presence; nothing but
waiting upon God, and knowing that He
can make all things work together for
good We can not wait upon God!
without faith; for what is this waiting
but steadfast trust in God, resulting
from the knowledge received of Him at
the cross? We can not build this wait
ing upon any other foundation than that
of faith; but faith flowers into patience
naturally. and thus are we enabled to
abide in Gods presence continually

Little Miss Micklen's Adventure.

At dusk last evening a very little girl,
with golden hair and blue eyes, toddled
through Twenty-fourth street and sat
down on a stoop e a the orner of
Sixth avenue. Her little red hat rested
on the back of her head and her cheeks
were tear stained. She was scarcely
three three years old. She pressed to
her breast a small white-and-blac kit
ten which she had been carrying, and
said:
..I'se 'faid we'se lost, Pussie."
By and by she began to cry, and q
passing policeman finding that she had
strayed from home brought her and her
kitten to the Police Central Office, where
she was placed in charge of Matron
Webb. At nine o'clock an excited man
ran into the Central Office and said his
little daughter was lost. He was sent
to the lost children's department, where
he recognized his daughter. He said
his name was Elias Micklen and that he
lived at 353 Greenwich avenue. He had
never seen the kitten before.-M 2. Sun.

Fashion Items.

A brilliant shade of plum color and
another of rich dark blue have quite
taken the place of strawberry and terra
Gotta in popularity.
Coffee-colored lace, brought into favor
oy the Princess of Wales, who wore it
recently upon a dress of ivory-white
satin, is seen upon the latest imported
evening dresses of cream-white satin and
pearl-white brocade.
Dresses of either silk or satin are
growing beautifully less in numbers up
on the promenade. and in their place
are seen the more appropriate and sensi-
Die costumes of serge, cheviot, tweed,
cashmere, and cloth-the tailor-made
suits forming by far the leading styles.
1t is almost impossible to distinguish
the new velveteen from real velvet, SO
silky is its surface and SO soft and even
its face. The dark colors of this materi-
al are very handsome, and they make
both stylish and wear-defying walking
skirts, the new brand, it is claimed, be-
ing proof against rain spots, and war
ranted never to fade.
Very long gauntleted gloves of Suede
and wash leather will be worn this au-
tumn for driving, shopping, and with
walking costumes. The handsomest are
not of the lately fashionable pale yellow
or tan shades, but come in dark green
bronze, olive, and other quiet colors,
slightly stitched with pale gold silk, and
having the gauntlets lined with the
same delicate tint.
Dark velvet bodices, which are 30
fashionably worn just now over skirts
OF yelling, silk and other fabrics, may
be much heightened in effect for dressy
occasions by having the basque edge
cut in blocks falling over a lace ruf1e
set underneath. The trimmings of the
sleeves and square neck are arranged
to match. For evening wear the sleeves
are sometimes of transparent silk, net
or lace, gold lace being used where q
gold-colored Spanish lace rufle is set
underneath the basque.
For little girls wear at the seaside or
in the country IRE sold pretty little
Babet jackets, jackets of dark red vel
vet or cloth, braided with gold, to slip
on over light dresses when the days are
cool. There are also tiny shoulder
capes of cardinal serge or cashmere,
embroidered in narrow vine patterns in
a deeper shade of silk, and lined to
match. Wide satin ribbon strings fastcn
the cape, and en- suite are coquetish
little Moorish caps of cardinal, to be
perched upon the head, a little back, to
show the English bang falling over the
forehead.
One of the features of dress trim
mings this autumn is the cutting of the
edges of skirts, tunics and polonaises
into %turrets, Vandykes and scallops-a
fashion SO popular last season in lighter
fabrics. Tweed dresses are made in
this manner with good success, the
blocks OR points being lined with silk,
and turned back sometimes to show a
bright killing underneath. Some of
the blocks are quite broad, and not only
trim the foot of the skirt and tunic, but
are set in full double rows around the
edge Of the long pointed bodice in regu-
lar Elizabethan style.-M Y. Post.

An Indian Funeral.

A correspondent of the St Louis Re
publican thus described an Indian
funeral in Montana: The subject was a
sixteen-year-old nephew of Sitting Bull,
who had been attending school for some
time in the southern part of the Terri
tory, and while there contracted a lung
trouble that proved fatal yesterday.
We followed the procession, which con-
sisted of four old ONE and two small
boys, professional mourners. The
corpse was most carefully wrapped, all
his new winter clothes being wrapped
about him, around which was a large
piece of tent cloth, and the whole bound
with ropes. 1t was drawn to the place
of sepufture on a travois-poles made
fast to the horse with one end trailing
on the ground. The body, singular to
state, lay with the feet toward the horse
and head neal the ground. The place
of final deposit vas made of poles ten
feet high, on which was a scaffold of
poles to receive the body. 1t was no
little Job for the four women to lift and
deposit the body upon such an elevation.
a task which they contrived to accom-
plish by making a temporary ladder.
On this scaffold was already the body of
the deceased's father, who had gone
thither three weeks ago. After ''burial''
was completed the four women began
their lamentations, wailing. digging the
ground, chanting, etc. When they had
partially subsidized one of the old women,
whose eyes were Extensively rheumy,
said she had been employed to do so
much crying in the last few weeks that
she had almost lost her sight. When
these four women left four more came,
and thus in relays they will keep up
their lamentations for a long period; it
often extends over several years. Not
infrequently relatives of a deceased
person held in specially high esteem. in
order to manifest the sincerity of their
grief, seriously mutilate themselves

Autumn Novelties.

The most pronounced novelty of the
cas- is the Crusader cloth, a beautiful
ly fine, but firm, warm fabric, woven in
many colors into broche figures of a
medi@l character, shields, e~scutcheons,
helmets, battle-axes, swords, daggers,
coats of mail, crests andheraldic devices
Of all sorts. The Parisians are using
these clothes for jackets, with a hauberk
bodice and full pilgrim sleeves, or long,
loose Crusader cloaks, with sleeves q Ia
r~eligieuse, or made up in the new Mo-
liere coat, revived by Nine. Sarah Bern
hardt and called by her name. The
dramatic artists will welcome this nov
city with enthusiasm. The Gobelin Of
tomans, with their graceful designs in
subdued colors IN. dark, quiet grounds,
will be much worn by conservative
women of the best taste and with suffi-
Gent means to crafty the same. The
velvet broche serges and Ottomans, with
scattered figures and blocks of velvet
chenille on wool grounds, will also be
favorites with this class of ladies. The
new chevoit effects, woven in stripes
and bars for one part of the costume and
plain for the other, will take the place

and which are not brought out this sea-
son. Grecian cloth, a wool fabric, is
another high novelty. 1t is a broche
stuff, with Greek designs of a severely
classic style, which will be appreciated
by artists and theatrical people.
A new color that clamors for favor,
both in dress goods and millinery, is
known as "Judee," a deep purplish
shade of crushed strawberry. New
greens awaiting i~ntroductions are Ceres
son." a water cress made of green, and
''Grenonville," a frog green. A number
of brown shades will be revived under
new names and the same may be said
for yellow. A fire-red hue, to be
launched on the public as soon as the
weather is cool enough to admit of it,
has been christened 'Infernal."
All sorts of velvety materials will be
popular for bonnets, during the latter
part of the autumn season. heavy vel
vets, plain and figured pushes and
flowers in shaded velvet being among
the garnitures that promise the greatest
popularity, wall-fiowers, dahlias, chrys-
anthemums and dark velvety red and
orange colored nasturtiums taking the
lead.-RIadelphia Times.

Waking or sleeping, God is true to

Mere negative preaching does not
feed the soul. To find fault with one
doctrine and make vague, misty state
ments respecting another, is like telling
hungry people that bread of fine -four
will give them dyspepsia, that oatenI
cakes are not suitable food for men, and
yet offer them nothing to satisfy their
wants. The soul needs truth to nour-
ish it. 1t is not what men doubt, but
what they positively believe, that builds
up character, that f~ortifes them against
temptation and makes them strong to
endure in maintaining what is right..-

FROM AN ELEVATED TRAIN.
A Deserted wife Attempts Suicide BE

NEW YoRE, January LEA woman, who
gave her name as Catharine Kepper,r at
tempted tocommit suicide about noon to-
day by throwing herself from the platform
OF the Elevated Railroadl lstation at
Fulton street in front OF a
moving train. Ever since the tragic fate
Of Julia Aldhous the employees Of the Ele-
vated Railway have been on the alert 10
prevent the repetition Of such an act. The
woman today sprang TO the edge OF the
platform as train approached and had
thrown herself over the edge when her
clothing was seized by two Of the platform
men. She was pulled back just as
the train run by. 1t was the narrowest
possible escape from serious injury, and
perhaps: death. Officer Smith, Of the
First Precinct police, was called to take
charge OF the woman. He found a
telegram upon her bearing the in
itials 10. H. stating that the person
sending 1t would not return as usual. The
woman said that her husband had deserted
her and had gone away with another
woman. She felt that she could not survive
the shame, and hence wanted to die. She
begged to be released and allowed to end
her existence The woman was taken to
the New Street Police Station.
The general impression among the rail.
way official is that the woman had
been crazed by jealousy, and she be.
lieye1 that the telegram she had re-
ceived from her husband was 4 full con-
firmation Of her suspicious. The woman
will be taken to the Tombs Police Court
to-day.

Hx.Minister Kasson Desires TO Succeed
Allison In the SENATE.


WARRINGTON, Jaunary There is little
doubt that Mr.. Kasson has entered into an
active canvass for the seat OF Mr.. Allison,
whose term Of office expires in 1885. The
Legislature in Iowa in the coming fall will
elect Mr.. Allison's successor, and Mr.. Kas'
son will begin canvass for supporters
early this year. Mr.. Allison is power in
Iowa, where he has kept for years the most
perfect organization in the Republican
party. Mr.. Kasson has been but little in
the State, yet has such hold upon the
people there that he is nearly as strong as
Allison. He was electedto thepresent Con-
gress while abroad as Minister to Austria.
Should he 70 into the State to make q per-
sonal canvass for the senatorship, a very
close contest may be expected. Should he
not DO elected to the Senatorship, Mr..
Kasson, It is said, will take up his residence
in this city permanently and not return to
Iowa. The other candidates for tue Sena-
torship will be ex.Secretary Kirkwood and
Governor Sherman. II isa noticeable fact
that ont OF the whole Iowa delegation in
Congress, not one was born in the State.
The two Senators and three RepreGenta-
tiyes were born in Ohio, two members in
Western Pennsylvania, and the remainder
