Drudgery.

There is drudgery in the church
of Christ as well as out oft. There
is low grade of serU5cc as there are
poor types Of servants The service
may be used, indeed-for even "the
acrdth Of me', may be made to praise
him"-but it will not prove a
source of Joy nor a means of grace.
The heart must &c with the offer
ing, whether of gold or toll, if it
shall be accepted Of heaven-the
heart must speak through Che SER
vice, or its reflex influence cannot
be helpful. Enthusiasm is one of
the charactemstics-one of the
beautiful things in the early Chris
tian life-the outgrowth of novel
ty, the exuherance of joy. The
young convert is charmed by his
new and rick experience, by pre-
cious relationship newly entered.
Stimulated ITO the performance of
duties newly enjoined, enthusiasm
may be miedirected through crude
views and lnexperlence, but it will
be like Sire in the bones" In
song, sacrifice, in toll, somehow it
incest find expression,
1t is as'natural to the newborn
soul as the blush is to the peach, as
gladstone notes to tie bird. 1t is
the Interpretation OF life. 1t is the
efFrUescemes of life. When controll
ed by ripe judgment, it may prove
Iof1ncalcdiable blessing to the cause
OF Christ.-Interior.

Patience, Wisdom, Love.

There is one time in a young
PERSONS life whec every mother
must have patieHce, and wisdom,
and love. She goestthrough it with
each child when it is from twelve
90 sixteen or seventeen years DID.
bn these years the child is going
through a great change, mental,
moral and physical 1t is no long
9r a petted little creature, confding
i'm itssparents and believing them
80 be -sllwise and good. Its eyes
are epening; it sees great faults,
sslas.i ia it's mother 1t is dis&p-
pointed and wretched it wants ITS
own s7ay it cannot have it, and it
rebels and grumtsles and brocas
over rs wrong, and makes Itself
intensely disagreeaJble. 1t has not
learned to 60 to God; it thinks IT'S
OWN -ecm panions are its best guides,
aGd that it knows more than It's
mother, but it is nos happy. Then
is thettime for wise letting alone,
for great patience AID love, for in
creased cheerfulnesg and trust, and,
if an opportunity occurs, for a lit
tie explanation of'the trouble, for
encouragement and for hope in the
etigiousHe~aLd.

Simple Justice.

The poet Whittier is an earnest
advocate of every good plan for ex.
tending the privileges Of the higher
education to women. In a private
letter Of recent date he wrote to \
friend:
Il hope the time is not far dis
tants when Brown University will
be open to women. The tradi-
lions of the noble old institution
are all in favor of broad libera.ity
and equality of rights and priv
leges. The state of my health and
the increasing weight of years may
prevent me from taking an active
part in the matter, but it would be
a great satisfaction to sgive nv
voice in behalf of a measure which
| feel certain would rebound to the
honor and materially promote the
prosperity of the college. Brown
University can not afford to hest
tate much longer in matter like
this of simple justice. No one who
has felt the pulse of public opinion
can doubt that the time has come
when a liberal educational policy,
irrespective of sex, is not only q
duty, but necessity"

Coon CoNscIENcE.-The histori-
an Motley relates the story Of Gui-
do de Bray, who, with noble
friend, of Protestant faith like
himself, was loaded with chains
and cast into a filthy dungeon pre-
viousIy 10 their being hanged.
There they were visited by a
French countess who was curious,
as she said, to see how the Calvin
lists sustained themselves in their
martyrdom. She asked them how
they could eat, drink, OH sleep when
covered with such heavy letters.
"The cause and my good con-
science" answered De Bray, make
me eat, drink and sleep better thh
they whe are doing me wrong.
These shackles are more honorable
to me than golden rings and
chains. They are more useful to
me, and as / hear their clank, me-
thinks | hear the music of sweet
voices and the tinkling of lutes."

become drunkards after marriage

1EeM with w bonn Eae Was Pleas
antIy Talking.

CALAIS, Me-, March 2l.-A very myste-
ious shooting affair that occurred here last
night is causing great excitement. Jo-
seph E. Eaton and his bforher, HerbprI
w. Eaton, owners Of the largest .lnmber
mill on the river, had spent the afternoon
together in social enjoyment, Of which
drinking was a part in the stable office OF
the mill. Samuel Kelly, jr., oUe of the
most prominent men Of the city, near sup
per time passed the building accompanied
By friend They Were seen by the TWO
brothers and accepted an invitation to
drink. K lly remained and his compan-
ion left, so he says, a few minutes after
entering. They had been laughing and
joking for about AZ hyar, when Herbert
Eaton got up from his chair ana walked
over to his coat. Nouotiee was taken OF
his action natil be remarked: Joe, I've
had enough Of you t0oiHg," when they
became aware tha5 he had his revolver in
his hand. Before either could say a word
OF make a movement lie pointed his weap-
Oh at his brother aud without further
words fired, the ball striking Joseph in
his left ehest and passing directly through
his body without touching vital spot.
AS be fired Kelly started TO retire. but was
stopped by q second shot from the reyolV-
er, which struck him in the left hip. Ea-
ton then Went to the stable, barnessed his
horses, and drove home. Joseph Eaton's
wound is comparatively slight. Kelly
suffers much pain in the bowels and vom-
It's frequently. 1t is thought that lie will
not live through the night. Neither of
them can assign any motive whatever for
the deed. Officers found Herbert Eaton at
his home, at noon, armed with pistols and
his doors barred. He said he would never
be taken alive, and would kill any one
who attempted to arrest. Another broth
er and his business manager tried hard to
obtain his consent to quietly surrender,
but they did not succeed. There is a
strong guard outside the house to prevent
his escape.

Keliog Implicated

WASHINGTON, March a2.-The fact that
John A. Walsh has been present in the
criminal court room the past few days
caused some comment, but 1t was rather a
surprise, nevertheless, to persons interest,"
EN- IN star route matters, when it became
known that the government is making
determined effort to secure an indictment
against Gen. T. j. Brady, in connection
with former prominent United States
Senator, for conspiracy TO defraad the
Government. Ker was in the Government
grand jury room during nearly the whole
session, to-day. Walsh was examined at
length and it is believed that his testimony
was substantially that given before the
grand jury in July last. Contractor J. B.
Price and others have also been called up
on to testify and it is expected that their
combined evidence will make the case
much stronger than 1t was in the first In
stance. At the end of to-day s session the
grand jury was excused until Monday
next. The ex-senator referred to above
is generally understood to be W. ?. Kel-
