The lady who has had CHARGE for
many years of the Woman's Art School
of the Cooper Institute, New York. writes
long letter to the Critic Describing
Peter Cooper's almost dailyvisi to the
class-rooms, and showing how keenlv
he was interested in the good work Of
the school,
1t has been decided to POSTPONE the
general conference of the Evangelical
Alliance appointed for 1888, in Stock
holm, Sweden. 1t will be held in SEN
TENDER, 1884. The postponement was
at the request of Bishop Beckman, who
thought the holding of the State church
diet in the same month would interfere
with the conference.
In Miles City, M. T., the Metbo-
dists believe in receiving contributions
from anybody, whether good or bad,
who is disposed to give. They place
contribution-boxes in the drinking sa-
looms, and some of the patrons of those
establishments drop coin or two in
whenever they take drink. The
boxes become as full of money as the
customers do of drink.
Without some system OF rewards 70,
show the progress of the pupils, school

ports. Be punctual to the moment in
opening and closing school-in begin

Keep the premises neat and attractive,

DR. Schatf gives the following ex-
PLANTATION of the great falling off in the
sale of the Revised New Testament:
ga reaction was sure to come. 1t is es-
timated that about 8, 100000 copies were
sold-2,00 900 in England and 1,000,-
600 in America. This is not small sale
for book which may be called new
edition of an old work. Another OBJ
stacle to its immediate acceptance by
the public is that the work has no
sanction of authority as yet. The con-
vocation of Canterbury will not pass
upon the revision until both Testaments
are finished. Then it may authorize or
reject it.

the bees in their hives under the APPLE
trees. The kindly neighbors all helped
him in little ways, but in all that was done
he saw only the hand of his wife.
AT first some upright souls would try to
convince him that his wife was but the
shadowy creation of his own crazed brain:
but he only shook his head pityingly.
"Haln't we never seen her when We was to
the house" he would ask "Wal, now.
thet'S curious. She must "a ben out to the
hives, | guess; she's a master-hand at
watchin' the bees. Or mebbe she was in
the forge; she oftentimes comes out there
with her knittin'-work an sets spell with
me. You'll see her next time We come,
guess"
On Sunday one may see him coming
reverently into church, and standing aside
when the square old-fashioned pew is
reached, to allow his shadowy wife to go in
before him. He sits at little distance
from the head of the pew, and shares his
hymn-book with woman invisible to all
eyes but his own.
Nobody laughs at him; even the children
only wonder at him. His madness has a
curious method in it. He prattles of his
wife's gray hair and failing steps, He
knows nothing of the real Octavia, dead
and buried twenty years ago. He lives
content and cheerful in a world of his own
creating. Why grieve for him? and whv
pity him? Is he not blessed above his fell
lows?
And yet the village folks, whose busy
lives, poor hearts, are heavy with actual
cares and sorrows, sigh as they turn aside
to look at him, and call him ''Poor old
Uncle yrus."-Eteanor Putnam, in Lip
ptRCOtt'S MdGdzine.

/" THIS rs LIFE"


'I have planned much woSk for my life,' she
said
A girlish creature, with golden hair,
And bright and winsome as she was fair.
'"The days are full, till he comes to wed;
The clothes to buy and the home to make
A very Eden, for his dear sake"
But cares soon come to the welded wife;
She shares his duties, and hopes, and fears,
Which lessen not with the waning years;
For very struggle, at best is life;
If we knew the burdens along the line,
We should shrink to receive this gift divine.
Sometimes, in the hush of the evening hour,
She thinks of the leisure she meant to gain,
And the work she would do with hand and
brain.
81 am tired tonight; L am lacking power
To think" she says; 81 must wait until
Ny brain is rested, and pulse is still"
OF woman and man, there is never rest;
Dream not of leisure that will not come
Till age shall make you both blind and dumb.
You must live each day at your very best;
The work of the world is done by few;
God asks that part be done by you.
Say oft, of the years, as they pass from sight,
''This this is life, with its golden store;
shall have it once, but it comes no more"
Have a purpose, and do with your utmost
might: .ss.sst
You win finish your work on the other side,
When you wake in His likeness, satisfied.
