Percy w. Hastings of Leominster, Mass, whose body below his neck was complete ly paralyzed by fall in a gymnasium three years ago, has learned to paint in water -colors, holding the brush between his teeth. An attendant mixes the colors and puts the brush in his mouth. His skill is said to be surprising, and his prog ress is so rapid that his friends actually expect his paintings to attain celebrity by reason of their artistic value independent ly of the physical dexterity which pro- duces them

Miss Emily Faithful is reported as say

Miss Emily Faithful is reported as say ing after visit to Vassar college: "You know an audience of young lady students is the hardest one in the world to address. ! I always feel like surrendering at discre- tion when confronted with battery of 600 girls eyes. They listen politely, but you never know what they think. They ap- plaud kindly, but reflect afterwards. I was most struck at Vassar with the alert ness of your American women. They are full of nerves, they are eager, quick, ex- citable, and they seem to combine thor oughness with vivacity we slow coach English folks don't possess" '"Then you like our American women, do you ?" ask ed the reporter. "Your American women are more nervous and active and eager than ours. Your climate is more exasper- ating it is 'beastly' weather here some- times the London fogs are not circum- stance to some of the weather you en- dure without complaining. But it tells on women, who are more susceptible to such influences than men. l notice that many of your intellectual women, your women of culture and writers, have a meager, stinted look It isn't considered nice for ladies to eat much here. find that they regard 'feed' as nasty word. AS re- suit they lack physique. They ought to take more square meals, and have more care for creature comforts, and get more repose, to offset the effects of your too driving ways of living" "Do you think it better to educate girls by themselves or with young men ?' 'Better together than apart, but far better apart than not at all. !"

Jan. 10, 1883. MEssRs. LEWIS 6 Co.,,
 Gentlemen:-I have suf- 2 fered with Chills and Fever and Malaria for the past two years, residing during that time at 7so Chapel street, New Haven, Conn. I used quinine in it's various forms, and a great deal of it,y While I could prevent the chills I could not rid my system of the poison. For some time last summer I was so weak that l could sit up but very little. My countenance was swollen, and quinine failed to give me an appetite, or to act perceptibly as a tonic. In this condition I began the use of your Lewis Red Jacket Bitters. Immediately I felt their effects. In two weeks I was nearly in my usual health. I used two bottles since that time. Whenever l have 8 recurrence of mala- rial symptoms I use a few doses of the Bitters, and I certainly consider them 8 most valuable remedy. They are my medicine.

Jay Gould's Family.


From Brooklyn Engle.l
There is general impression that
Jay Gould has only one son, because
his wife never appears in society and
his children are almost unknown. II
has got abroad that his son George Is
his solitary offspring. But he has a
large and interesting family. His
daughter Nellie, who christened his
yacht, promises to be beauty and
will be great catch when she goes in
to society, She is u slim girl, neither
light nor dark, with charming manners
and studious habits She has been
under the charge of governesses all her
life. There IL son Edward. who Ia

fourteen years old, has been in delicate
health for long while. He knows al

in the neighborhood Of ton or twelve
years, promises to be the beauty of the

Tell the People Their Sins.

Plain preaching is demanded. Wise
observers are saying that the crying
sin of the times is covetousness. Alas!
who has not seen professors of the
religion of Jesus sitting complacently
under the gospel, and rejoicing in the
free grace of the Lord Jesus, while
their hands were stained with ill-gotten
gain "Covetousness, which is idola-
try" says the Scripture. And of all
sins, idolatry is the most odious to
God, and is the most certain to be over
taken with his swift judgments. 1t de-
bases the Christian, and makes him as
hard and unfeeling as the gold he
worships Those who heap up treas
ures for themselves even when honest
ly acquired, are condemned by scripture.
How much severer judgment is theirs
who defraud the widow and the father
less for the sake of gain. The follow
ing is an example of the plain dealing
which ought to be exercised on this
point. Who shall say that it is one
whit too plain?
DR.. William Anderson, for more than
fifty years pastor of church in Glas-
Cow had o somewhat pointed way Of
putting things" as the following in
cident, related in the Weekly Reuiesu,
will show
He was once expounding the fifteenth
Psalm, and had come to the word
usury,-"He that putteth not out his
money to usury." "Does that mean,"
he asked, taking ten per cent or more!
Not entirely. 1t means also the spirit
in which the ten per cent is taken.
There was once in this church a poor
widow, and she wanted twentyipounds
to begin small shop. Having no
friends she came to me, her minister
And happened to know a man-not
of this church-who could advance the
money to the poor widow. So we went
to this mantle widow and land
the man said he would be happy to
help the widow And he drew out
bill for ego, and the widow signed it,
and / signed it too. Then he put the
signed paper in bis desk, and took out
the money and gave it to the widow.
But the widow, counting it, said Sir
there are only Els here.' 1T is all
right, said the man; that is the inter-
est / charge And as we had no re-
dress, we came away. But the widow
prospered; and she brought the twenty
pounds to me, and l took it myself TO
the Office of the man who lent it, and l
said to him, Sir, there arc the f20
from the widow And he said, "Here
is the paper you signed, and if you
know any other poor widow, | will be
happy to help her in the same way
said to him: You help the widow !
Sir you have robbed this widow, and
you piU be damned p And, my friends,
l kept my eye upon that man and be-
fore six months were over God smote
him and he died." We can still recall,
after many years, the creep of soul with
which we listened to the closing SEN
tences, and the vivid glimpse we got of
divine retribution falling suddenly on
bad man.
Hear the solemn warning of James
speaking by the Holy Ghost: go to
now, you rich men, weep and howl for
your miseries shall come upon you.
Your riches are corrupted, and your
garments are motheaten. Your gold
and silver is cankered and the rust Of
them shall be witness against you,
and shall eat your flesh as it were fire.
You have heaped treasure together for
the last days.'- The Workman.
