GIVE A KIND WORD TO THE ERR
ING.

Give kind word to the erring-
1t may raise fallen brother!
And the law of Heaven teaches
We should kindly teach each other
All! the paths Of vice are many,
And when tempted and when tried
Remember thou art mortal,
And thy feet may turn aside.
Give kind word to the erring-
Who have trod the paths of sin,
For the tempter too may WOO thee,
And thy feet may run therein.
All along life's rugged pathway
Stones are bruising weary feet!
Thistles spring among the flowers
Tares are growing with the wheat.
And the Master in His vineyard
Hath work for you to do,
For the harvest there is plenteous,
But the labOrers are few.
Tarry nOt-the day is waning,
And the night is coming on,
And the Master will reward yon!
For the work thy hand hath done.
If from out one bleeding bosom
You have plueked the bitter thorn;
If you have cheered the dropping spirit
When its every hope was gone; u.
Ifyon've stretched the hand in kindness
TO lead erring, straying feet,
There's ricn reward awaits you-
And loves labor, too, is sweet.
If along life's rugged highway
You have raised drooping.hower;
If thy smile hath ever gladdened
For one heart a gloomy hour
1t hath placed star to glitter
In the angel crown above!
All! life's mission here is holy,
When we make it one Of love!
Oh remember, then, the erring,
Thou mayst lift the soul again,
And from some poor, bleeding bosom
Wipe away the guilty stain.
All the world is one broad vineyard,
Where there's work for each to do.
Eos the harvest there is plenteous,
But the laborers are few!
Work, then! Life's sun is setting,
And the night of Death comes on,
And the Master at His coming
Will expect thy work we'll done!

THEODORE PARKER ON MARRI-
AGES.

Men and women, says Theodore
Parker, and especially young people,
DO not know that it takes years to
marry completely two hearts, even
Tie most loving and we'll sorted.
But nature allows no sudden change.
We slope very gradually from the
cradle to the summit of life. Mari
age is gradual-a fraction of US at a
time.
A happy wedlock is long falling
in love. l know young persons think
love belongs only to brown hair
and plump, round, crimson cheeks.
So it does for its beginning, Just as
Mount Washington begins at Boston
Bay. But the golden marriage isa
part of love which the bridal day
knows nothing of.
Youth is the tassel ard silken flaw
err of love; age is the full corn, ripe
and solid in the ear. Beautiful is the
morning of love, with its prophetic
crimson, violet, purple and gold, with
its hopes of days that are to come.
Beautiful, also, is the evening of love,
with its glad remembrances, and its
rainbow side turned toward heaven
as we'll as earth.
Young people marry their oppo-
sites 10 temper and general charac-
ter, and such a marriage is generally
a good one. They do it lnstinctly.
The young man does not say, only
black eyes require to be wed to blue,
and my overvehemence requires to
be little modified with somewhat
of dullnees and reserve" When
these opposites sites come together
to be wed they do not know it, but
each thinks the other just like him
self.
Old people never marry their op
posites; they marry their simi|ars
and from calculations. Each of
I. these two arrangements is very pro.
per. In their long journey these OPP
posi,es will fall out of the way
great many times, and both will
charm the other back again, aud by
and by they will agree as to place
they will go and the road they will
60 BY, and become reconciled. The
man will be nobler and larger for be.
ing associated with so much human
ity unlike himself, and she will be
nohler women for having manhood
beside her that seeks to correct her
deficiencies and supply her with
what she lacks, if the diversity be
not to great, and there be real piety
and love in their hearts TO begin
with.
The old bridegroom having
much shorter journey to make, must
associate himself with one like him
self A perfect and complete MARI
age is, perhaps, as rare as personal
beauty. Men and women are MARI
ed fractional-now a small faction,
then large fraction.
Very few are married totally, and
then only, think, after some forty
or fifty years of gradual approach
f and excitement. Sach a large and
sweet fruit is a complete marriage
that it needs a winter to mellow and
season. But real happy marriage
Of love and judgment between a man
j and woman is one Of the. things so
very handsome that if the sun were,
=, as the Greek poets tabled, a god, he
might stop the world in order to feast
his eyes with such spectacle.

WHEN Mr.. Oscar Taylor was in
town few weeks ago he showed me
a silver half dollar for which he has
already been offered $1,000. It is one
of four halves cast by the Southern
Confederacy when the mint was seiz-
ed in New Orleans. On the liberty
side the die is the same as on the
present half dollar, but on the re-
verse side were substituted seven
bars and seven stars, surmounted by
a pole with the cap of liberty. A
stalk of sugar cane and stalk Of
cotton are shown, around which are
the words "The Confederate States
of America" Only four of these
coins were issued. Mr.. Taylor pur
chased it from a man in Ozark, who
parted with it for the extremely low
price of $4,000. - TMeriwethsr's

A DUEL OF TONGUES.
Miss Coghlan Confidentially Informs
Reporter How Dearly She Loves Miss
Caroline Hill.

Caroline Hill.
Dramatic Times
The severe manner in which Miss Rose
Coghlsn was handled by Miss Caroline Hill in
an interview published in tho World the
other day has excited great deal of interest
in the theatrical profession. A. reporter of
the Dramatic Times, curious to learn how Miss
Coghlan would retort on the lady who said
she was trained stick" and no actress,
called on the former at her pretty fiat and
asked her if she wanted to soy anything in
reply.
II am little surprised" said Miss Coghlan,
"that's all. / have always had such q high
and enthusiastic opinion of Miss Hill that
her rude illusions to me are q trihe dis
couraging coming as they do from lady who,
by virtue Of her age and her experience, has
great weight with me. Still / think Miss
Hill might have been moro considerate with
me, seeing how much younger / am and how
much newer TO the profession"
"What foundation has she for the assertion
that you would not get an engagement in
London"
~ can't tell" was Miss Coghlan's response.
"You see, in London Miss Hill is rated as
woman of experience and capacity, while
rank as q mere girl Perhaps she is right.
The London manager goes great deal by
tradition, and he has heard for years and
years that Miss Hill is clever actress Her
very appearance is so little changed from
what it was twenty years ago that he still re-
CARDS her as being comparatively young; for,
10 matter what she.may say of me, want to
state that look on her as a remarkably fine
and attractive woman still"
"She says, openly, that you are jealous of
her. Is that the case"
mot in the least. can account, think,
on the other hand for her failings. You see,
she comes from London highly esteemed, al
most venerated, for what she has been, if not
for what she is She sees me, a much younger
woman, in the place of her leading lady.
Here, of course they do not talk of her as
they do in London, where devotion to old
favortes of the stage survives even the dis
appearance of their charms. Not, mind you,
that do not consider Miss Hill quite as at
tractive now as she was twenty years ago.
But she herself, poor thing, is naturally over
sensitive and over anxious, and, without
knowing why exactly, pitched into me-"
"Then you think a good deal of Miss Hill ?"
&C. am one of the most enthusiastic admir-
ers she has got. If she were young woman
or honestly thought Mr.. Wallack's audi
ences would excuse her age on the
score of her talents, / should throw
up my engagement and make way for
her Immediately. / should, indeed.
And, ON the other hand, if were as old and
as experienced as she is, wouldn't be jealous
of such girlish and unsophisticated little
creature as Rosie Coghlan."
And the interview ended in a merry peal of
laughter.

A VOLCANO IN ALASKA.
Mount Augustin Sends Out Fire and
Smoke, and IL Reft in Twain.


SAN Francisco. Dec. 2s.-Prof Davidson
received from Alaska to-day the particulars
of the volcanic disturbances there in October
last near the entrance to Cooks inlet.
On the morning of Oct. 8 settlement
of fishermen on English bay heard
heavy report, and, looking in
the direction from whence the
sound came, immense volumes of flames and
summit of Mount Augustin. The sky be-
came obscure, and o few hours later great
quantities of pumice dust began to fall, some
of it being fine and smooth and some
gritty. At $3.50 o'clock on the same day
an earthquake wave thirty feet high
came rushing in over the hamlet, sweeping
away all the boats and doluging the houses.
The tide, at the time being low, saved the
settlement from utter destruction. This
wave was followed by two other waves
about eighteen feet high, which were
succeeded at irregular intervals by others.
The pumice ashes fell to depth
of ive inches, making the day so dark that
ing country was illuminated by flames from
the crater. Ordinarily Mount Augustin is
covered with snow but this year it is
entirely bare. Upon examination after
the disturbances have subsidized it was found
that the mountain had been split in two from
base to summit, and that the northern slope
had fallen to the level of the surrounding
cliffs. simultaneously with the erup-
tion new Island made its appear
ance in tho passage between
Chernaboura island and the mainland. 1t was
rs feet high and mile and half long. So
violent was the volcanic action that two ex-
tinct volcanos on the peninsula of Alaska,
lying to the westward of the active volcano
1liamna, 1900 feet high, burst into activity
and emitted immense volumes of smoke and
dust. Flames were visible at night. 1t is stated
that the wives of party of Aleut Indians,
who were engaged in otter hunting in that
locality, became afraid of the subterranean
noises, and refused to stay, returning to their
homes None of those who remained can be
found.
