our stage folks. Miss. Davis appear
ance in the far north now, is but the
index figure pointing to the time when
our people, not very far distant time
either, will have the legitimate drama,
the comedy. the opera and the higher
order of whatever is for the stage

borne in mind that the time in life

CIVIL SERyICE..-If any body is sim
pie enough to think that the future is
not to find Congressman, Senators and
others of influence busy, at the depart
mentS in the in the interest of their
friends, looking out for appointments
and promotions, let them think so, no
harm will come of this kind of think
ing. 1t will be late and cold day
when our modern American legisla-
tors and persons of influence Will give
up their hold at the departments. We
never expect to see it done in our day,
and we expect to be here for a season
or so yet. What is civil service? Bosh,
why it is all bosh. The best run gov
ernment on the top of earth is ours,
run on purely plain American demo-
cratic republican ideas, getting its best
intellect, blood, life, vigOr, hope, depen-
dence and devotion to duty from the
people. Just so soon as the communi-
ty understands that the Civil Service
Bill is measure especially to put
snObs and"tit Bit ariStocrats and theo-
retical signboards in places to the ex-
cluSionS of the best material in the
country, our self made people, they
will knock the cold stuffing out of the
whole thing by electing Congress
that will refuse to make appropriations
to preambulate around the country and
feed eXpensively at uppercrust hotels,
a lot of water Drained theorists, who,
when brought to practical test ques-
tion, does not show sense enough to
grease a gimblet with. We want the
institution run by those that saved it
when she was in a nine hole. We
don't want nor do we mean to let a
lot of wild theorists take full charge
of the machinery. In this we are sus-
tanned by the majority of the plain
folks of the country.
That there is much in a name is true
none will deny, for we all admit that
there is more il deeds, therefore we

American and has manifested his graf
itude and sense Of justice to the race

A Boys Sermon that Staid BY.

It was the first effort he had ever
made to speak in public. 1t was in g
union praise meeting, following great
revival, in college town. The boy
blushing and agitated, yet, wishing to
add his word of advice and thanksgiY-
ing, began abruptly:
"My dear brothers and sisters, hope
you will all take hold; and when you
get hold, keep hold"
The youth was so confused, that he
repeated the same words over and
over, apparently unable to stop, or to
catch a new sentence. Some of the
young people, who had religion, but
were not old enough to have pity or
consideration, began to laugh, when a
big hearted man (none other than
Brother Ben. Bristow, of Covington),
struck out with the always appropriate
ejaculation. Thank Godr' and then,
with that great melodious voice of his,
began the hymn-"Am 1 a soldier of
the Crosse"
Pending this inquiry the youthful
disciple sank, red and perspiring, into
his seat.
I am uncertain whether any honest
effort is fruitless. That poor lad
thought, no doubt, that that was a
failure. / have often wondered
whether he ever tried it again-whether
he did "keep hold" The talk of the
college professors and the ministers of
the evangelical churches assembled in
that union meeting have faded from
my remembrance entirely, but the poor
boys wretched exhortation remains at
least in one heart.
The flowers of rhetoric may decorate
the Gospel fabric, but add nothing to
its strength, nor can golden
CLINT of mans aesthetic upholstery
make more grateful the shadows of
the great rock in weary land.-Ctn-

Miss HENRIETTA NINTOS DAVIS
Philadelphians would do well to hold
themselves in readiness for a great
treat shortly to be offered through the
energy of MeSSrs Trotter and Dupree,
Of Boston. These gentlemen have
mapped out a most extensive tour for
the talented Shakesperian reader, Miss
Henrietta Vinton Davis, of Washing
ton City. Philadelphia, Of course,
comes in for an early visit, of which
full notice will he given. In view of
the fact that such an occasion is not
often presented, when it does come, let
il be appreciated Christian Recorder.
When Miss Davis made her first ap-
pearance in this city, there was great
deal of natural fear and doubt, and the
entire audience was in breathleSs
silence, and hearty sympathy stood
close by but she came forward and
fromthe time she Saidher first line to the
close of the last sentence, she wrapped
the whole audience so close to her, that
she became queen of the stage IN
their eyes.
One moment all was serene and quiet,
deep pathos-the next all was laughter
No body except Mrs. Mary Francis
Scott Siddons, ever made more real
good admirers than did, Miss Davis, as
a public reader and deliniator, before
a Washington audience. To say that
she is a talented little woman, is only
to use common sterotyped words, but
we shall say that she is talented and
accomplished woman, and genius.
