If it is to your interest to be a Chris
tian at all, it is to your interest to be a
faithful one. Upon this depends your
assurance as to the future and your
happiness and usefulness in the present.
The more your faithfulness the greater
your progress and success in spiritual
things. 1t confirms you Ia the faith
which sin would destroy, it increases
that peace which it would disturb, and
enlivens that hope which it would blast
forever. Your faithfulness is the
measure of your Christian usefulness
to others. Nothing will afford a better
reward, or pay you better, than to be
useful in the hig lest sense to your fe,-
low men. To be a faithful Christian is
to be earnest in the wolship, ard eff
Gent in the service of Christ and
his church. What higher, nobler
aim for a living man than this Be
persuaded by the strong and thous-
and considerations presented on every
hand, that it is to your interest to
be a Christian and a faithful Christ
ian. Goodness is profitable unto
all things, having promise of the
life that now is, and of that which is to
come"

An italian in America.

Landing at New York by a ferry-boat
is the first impression / get of Ameri.
cans. To us who have no estimate of
hurry, and live longer than these people
exist, the scene is very attractive--in
one sense The ferry-boat is crossing
early in the morning and is full of BUSH
ness men-that proud term of a country
which recognizes the dignity of labor
and condemns our dolce far niepte. No
one waits for the chain to be lowered !;
this chain oftimes protects a free peo-
pie from going overheard. They all
jump over it, and frequently before the
boat touches the wharf. That is pro-
gressive young America. And from
that early hour until the evening, when
they go back on this boat, they are
jumping over endless chains of COM
merce and coins. The great nation of
jumpers The republic of hurry !
Young men in the prime of life jump
into graves middle-aged men hurry
into cefiins ! live on, a type of retro
gressive Italy Oh, progress, progress
On thy altar are the sacrifices of mil
lions of lives, millions of Injuries, and
millions of happinesses. / am hurried
off the ferry-boat and hurried into a
cab; | am hurried into a hotel, a bath,
a d%ining-room where a dinner is hurried
into me, and then told that this is prog
less. | am hurried in and out of bed
and down Broadway, the veriest guilt
stream of all hurry. Yes, it is prog
gress So is a locomotive on the Hud-
sol River Railroad at eighty miles al
hour. So is cabling messages for the
daily dress under the Atlantic, when
The messages are worth cabling So is
lobbying at Albany on appropriation
bills Progress here is to me a paradox,
because I have not yet lost my Italian
| peculiaritjes. The American girl is
champagny. She is glitterng, foamy,
bubbly, sweet, dry, tart-in a word,
fizzy I She has not that dreamy, magi-
cal, murmury loneliness of our Italian
girl. And yet there is a cosmopolitan
| combination in the American girl that
makes her a most attractive coquette
In her frankness, in her pardonable fri
volity, in Der being a phenomenon of
of verbal intrigue, You may lose your
head easily with her in a week, and in
the way of recollecting what you had
said to her yesterday, for she is gifted
with memory, but your heart-jamais :?
| 1t takes a longer time for that But be
| sure she will have both sooner or later.
| don't believe she is half as mercenary
as she talks, in the vein of what female
heart can gold despise. Yet she gives
you a strong impression that the alpha
and omega of life, is a modiste and a
millionaire. My impression of an
American girl is n never to be for
| gotten, She is bright, brisk and bust
ness.like. To be concise, l would call
the American girl a sort of social cate
chism--full of questions and answers.
In many instances she omits the answers
and becomes an incarnate questioner.

Fashion.

Dark brown, green, black or blue
velvet is the most elegant trimming for
light colored cashmere dresses.
Satin cords, braided into rather
intricate designs, are used as the head
ing for other trimmings on rich CO.'S
TUNES.
Pansies of all colors and sizes ON
grounds of various colors appear in
chene effects on some sash ribbons and
scarfs.
Large shawls of white null embroi-
dered on the edges and in the corners
will be much worn with midsummer
toilets.
Maekinaw straw sailor hats, with low
rowns and stiff brims, will be much
worn by gentlemen in midsummer.
Colored silk mitts are embroidered in
s~elf-colors across the hand, the wrist
and on the top which reaches to the
elbow.
Violet, lilac, pansy, heliotrope,
dahlia and many other red tints of pur-
pie are fashionable for silk and wool
costumes.
Opal-tinted shot silks and the aurora
colors of pink with gray, or pink with
orange, are among the novelties.
Scotch plaid glace silk of very dark
colors are used in combination with
surah and cashmere for semi-dress
costumes.
Sun umbrellas are to match the color
of the dress, and are monnted on thick
oaken sticks, with handles studded with
gold.
The high novelty in walking suits in
Paris is a combination of fine black
cashmere and white MORE on white
Ottoman silk.
For children combination dresses will
be unusually worm. Piaids of every
pattern are imported with plain ma
terials to correspond in color.
In the matter Of fancy jewclry the
palm may be awarded to spiders. Jet,
cut silver and jeweled spiders are seen
in masses of lace, in bonnet strings and
In bows.
Ribbons grow more and more gor-
geous, and no color seems too brilliant
to be used by itself or in combination
with several others as a trimming for
bonnet or dress.

Abel Grimes.
'She forgave you then-forgiyes

"Oh, give me herself also," cried
Abel Grimes with powerful emotion, as
he seized the lady's hand and drew aside
the veil from the calm sweet face of his
old love, Mary Albright.
Need we go on with the sequel?
They were married on the next

been counted among the happiest of

Water Pollution.

The effect of water pollution upon the
health has been repeatedly published.
Goitre is caused by drinking water i'm
pregnated with animal matter, and dis
appears when pure water is substituted.
In Great Britain, 1874 epidemics of en-
teric fever were traced in four years to
impure air or water-usually both-and
6897 deaths occurred in a single year
from these causes. In the historic out
break at Over-Darwin 1000 cases of
sickness and 100 deaths resulted from a
polluted water supply. A simple test
for pure water such as might be used
by ordinary householders, is very desir-
able, but zone exists, and 1t requires
much skill to prove that water is abso-
lutely pure. Chemical tests are uncer-
tair The taste is not to be depended
upon as the most palatable water is
often the most impure. In India ex-
am iation of some of the wells used by
the pilgrims showed that the so-ealled
holy water consisted of almost pure
sewerage. The frequent outbreaks of
cholera among these visitors is there.
fore explained. So difficult has it be-
come to obtain pure water On the con-
tinent of Europe that the eminent
English physician Sir Henry Thomp-
son, in a letter to the London Times,
warns travellers never to touch a drop
in any place, or under any circum-
STAGES, unless it can be boiled before
using.-North American Revieao.

Indeed, there is 10 kind of food that
will not tire ore, and satiate the appe-
title il used all the time. All kinds of
poultry make avery inviting meal occa-
sionally, but one cannot relish them
for many days in succession. 1t is the
same with pastry, a change is needful
in order to have it well appreciated.
Bread is the only compound of which
people never tire, and they enjoy that
occasionally toasted, better than to have
1t set on the table in a stack of thin
slices. | know that some CLAIM that
1t is of no account what you eat, it is
sweet and wholesome, and will sustain
nature, but it is rot true. Our happi-
ness and bodily comfort both depend in
a great measure upon the food we eat
and the manner of cooking it. Admit
ting this fact it is an important branch
of science to understand cooking in all
its forms, and be able to make ~victuals
as tempting and palatable as they can be
cooked. do not believe in too rich food,
or extravaganza, but light, wholesome,
plain and substantial food, cooked and
arranged on the table 20 as to look nicely
and taste well besides.
Let the housewife seek for a variety
of dishes, not for a variety at one meal
alone, but a change for every meal. 1t
is just as easy as the everlasting same
ness that clogs the appetites of a family.
Hash for breakfast is very well once a
week, but to have it seven times a
week is six times too much. So with
every kind of cooking. Baked beans
are very nice once in a while, but to
have them for four or five consecutive
days would incline one to the belief
that he is not very fond of beans. Cir
cumstsnces alter cases, but a little fore
thought will generally arrange matters
SO that the mistress of a family can
vary the bill of fare, SO as to have her
cooking enjoyed and appreciated. No
more kinds are needed, but a variety of
kinds, and as variety is the spice of life,
so is it the greatest appetizer for our
daily food.

ions and 1t is the one sure Republican
city OF the Union. The surroundings
are healthy, and Pennsylvanis having
no " favOrite son" TO present Tor tine
nom nation, candidates from other
States will have fair and even chance
without a local influence boom.
Another thing to be considered by
the committee will be the new repre-
sentation plan on the basis OF the ise-
publican vote in each Of the States In
stead of the popular vote as heretofore.
The plan has been thoroughly prepared
by United States Senator Frye, OF
Maine. 1t possesses many advauta'
ges over the old plan and its evident
fairness cannot be successfully disputed
If Republicans would look at the new
plan in its right light they could not
help but favor it. Senator Frye's plan
provides that each State shall have
four delegates ut large as now. In
this respect Delaware will be equaI
with Pennsylvania and New York. II
further provides that each Congression-
al District shall have but one delegate
instead of two as now, and then one al
ditional delegate for every ten thou
sand votes cast in that district. AS Del
aware constitutes but one Congressional
District she will lose one delegate or
the two to d strict plan, but will gair
it on vote basis, the Republican vote IL
1880 being IA, l4s. This will still give
Delaware six delegates with fraction
of 4,l4S over. S52 additional vote'
would have entitled the State to sever
delegates. Thus Delaware by the new
plan would retain her old representa-
ton and gain the prospect OF soon hay
ing an additional delegate. AT the las
State election in 1882, only $50 vote
were lacking. If this new plan il
adopted it will increase the number o
delegates from $40 to $40. The twenty
two Northern and Western State
which cast the bulk of the Republican
vote and elect President will gaiI
ll3 delegates, and the sixteen Southern
States which can give no aid in tn
election of a Republican President, viii
loose 63 delegates. 1t looks reasonable
that the section that has the work 10 DE-
should have the most to say in the 81
lection of a Republican candidate AMI
therefore there should be no serious op
position to the adoption Of Senator
Frye's new plan.

The Provident Society that opened
the bazaar to-day in the Opera House
is entitled to and should receive the
hearty support of our citizens. The
great majority of the articles for sale
are such as are specially wanted
during the holidays to make glad the
hearts Of friends There are but few
who do not want such souvenirs and
keepsakes, though there are many who
cannot afford TO purchase them. The
bazaar is kind of general leveler. 1t
levels up and levels down; that is, il
take from those who can well afford
the luxuries of life and gives to those
who cannot afford them. But while it
takes it also gives, and those who spend
little money there always get honest
and full value received. Tie Proyident
Society Is the medium, or in common
parlance the go-betweeu that re-
ceives from those who can afford it,their
contributions and dispenses to those
who have no contributions to give, but
are worthy to receive. This society
composed of benevolent ladies, make
it their business to hunt up necessitous
and worthy cases where misfortune has
robbed them of all but character, and
dispenses to them the receipts Of the
bazaar, in whatever manner in their
Judgment will do the most good. Many
families rendered destitute by the vicis-
STUDIES aud hardshi D of life have been
assisted and made happy by the minis
trations of these ladies, and it is pro-
posed that many such families shall be
visited and made happy this winter.
How many will depend upon the sue
cess of the bazaar. This is surely a
good object and should receive a very
liberal support. We believe it will re-
ceive such support. There are kind,
generous soulsil Wilmington who only
need an opportunity to contribute when
their hands 90 down deep into their

Considering all the ills that attack
little children, it is a wonder that
any of the poor little youngsters
live to grow up.
There are children who are truly
objects of pity. They seem almost
|bloodless. Their cheeks are thir
and pinched; their eyes are hollow,
and their skin is tightly drawn
over their foreheads. There is
nothing hearty about them. They
do not enjoy their lives. They are
suffering from the debility that
leads to marasmus. Poor things!
Do a good deed for the pale,
poor, puny, pallid child. Hand its
mother a bottle Of Brozous Iron
Filters. Here is life even for the
most delicate, the most debilitated
for the child almost given up fol
dead. Iron in the blood is what tho
child needs to bring it up. The
little digestive apparatus will re-
| cover. The pale cheeks will fill out
The weary groan of the child will b.
exchanged for the merry prattle o
lnfantile gladness. Your druggist viii
