Every convenience possible has been
considered for both ladies and gentle
men, and the floor and acoustics Of the

led to another until he picked up
char and struck the woman on the
side of the head with one of the
legs, intlicting an ugly wound. The
woman fcl! inscnsible. but the brute
repeated the attack, until he had spat

About an hour afterward, the woman
was discovered in the middle of the
floor in pool Of blood foot in diam.

THE LIFE OF ENOCH.
The Rev. Mr.. Pratt's Discourse on this
Subject Yesterday.

SunJect yesterday.
Yesterday morning, in HALEY Thea.
ter, the Rev. E. Pratt discoursed on
the life of Enoch, taking as his text
Genesis V, "a: "And Enoch walked
with God and was not, for God took
him."
There are two marvels in the life of
the Old Testament hero; the one in
the setting of the life, and the other in
the life itself. The documents of
those early times tell Of the long lives
of Enoch, his ancestors, and some of
his descendants. Some dispute the
record and others the facts contained,
and say it is a myth of the olden times,
and others, equally assured, say the
record is full of impossibilities. But
it is as great a miracle that the waste
and repai" Of the system should con.
tinue a thousand years, and there is
no inherent reason why the age of man
might not be longer than 70 years.
This, however, is of little Importance
to US. One can believe these records
as to the long lives of our ancestors
and be not one whit improved. They
are but husks which contain the kerr
nels of divine truth. That feature OF
the life Of Enoch which is for our in.
struction and improvement is his walk
with God, or living as in the presence
of God, so as to please him.
To live for ones own pleasure is but
to find means to kill him. TO throw
off obligations to merely CRAFTY the
senses is to initiate the tramps
who are more free from care than the
singing birds Of summer. They eat
drink and sleep, much the same as
other men, and yet they are sunk in
the disgrace Of living below the brute.
pleasures are like peoples spread:
You seize their fiowe", their bloom is shed.
Or. like a SNOW flake on the river
moment here, then goLe forever
They are very good as the trimming
and beautifying of life, but should
never enter into the web and wool OF
the garment.
Some live to please men. Society
controls their lives. But society often
sanctions one vice when it condemns
another. And a life fashioned ac-
cording to its commands is superficial
To walk with God is to fashion the
whole secret life according to princi-
pies of holiness. 1t is not what mer
will think and say, but it is to do what
is right in the sight of God.
"Enoch was not found, for Goo
took him." The end of life spen
as was Enoch's Is with God. He take.
care Of His children who walk in faith
and finally brings them to Himself.
The Rev. Mr.. Pratt will, beginning
next Sunday evening, give short Sc
rics of historical sermons on the life
Of Nehe miab.

to-day as token Of the early moral
ity and social refinement that mark
distihctively our young city.
The ladies Of the Bazaar are conf
dent of success in liqnidating some
: debt on the church building and i'm
proving the latter for the comfort of
the people.

tho result For over two years have been
troubled with sharp pain at my heart. My
physician, upon examination, pronounced
it enlargement of the heart, and was unable
to give me any relief The trouble grew
worse, until had become convinced that
could not be cured. While in New York
City last week called on one Of the most
prominent physicians there, who charged
me $25 for an examination. and then rec
commended your Regulator" Knowing
you to be a regular Medical Association,
and not a patent medicine scheme, ordered
the three bottles. l have not been trou-

continue and take the entire three bottles,
SO as to obtain permanent cure. You

GOOD ADvIcE.-"My son, when you
hear man growing and scolding be-
canse Moody gets 5000 week for
preaching Christianity, you will per-
ceive that he never worries minute
because Ingersoll gets 5000 a night fol-
preaching atheism. You will observe
that the man who is unutterably
shocked because F. Murphy gets $l5C
q week for temperance work, seems tc
think it is all right when the barkeep-
er takes in twice so much money in q
single day. The laberer is worthy Of
his hire, my boy, and he is Just as wor-
thy of it in the pulpit as he is upon
the stump. Is the man who is hon
estly trying to save your soul worth
less than the man who is only trying
his level best to go to Congress Isn't
Moody doing as good work as Inger-
soil? Isn't John B. Cough as much
the friend of humanity and society as
the bar Do you want to get
all the good in the world for nothing,
so that you may be able to pay high
price for the bad? Remember, my
boy, the good things in this world are
always the cheapest. Spring water
costs less than corn whisky; box of
cigars will buy two or three bibles; a
gallon of old brandy costs more than
a barrel of -four; full hand at po-
ker often costs a man more in twenty
minutes than his church subscription
amounts to in three years: a State
election costs more than revival of
religion you can sleep in church ev-
cry Sunday morning for nothing, if
you are mean enough to dead beat your
lodging in that way, but nap in a
Pullman car costs you two dollars ev-
cry time; fifty cents for the circus,
and penny for the little ones to put
in the missionary box; one dollar for
the theatre, and pair of old trousers,
frayed at the end, baggy as to the
knee, for the Michigan sufferers; the
dancing lady gets $500 week, and
the city missionary gets 5000 year ;
the horse-rac scoops in $4,000 the
first day, and the church fair lasts a
week, works twenty-five or thirty OF
the best women in America nearly to
death, and comes out $40 in debt.
Why, ray boy, if you ever find your
sell sneering or SOOTHING because once
in a while you hear of preacher get
ting a living, or even a luxurious sal
airy, or a temperance worker making
money, 90 out in the dark and feel
ashamed of yourself, and if you don t
feel above kicking mean man, kick
yourself. Precious little does sligion
and charity cost the world, my boy
and when the money 1t does give is
flung into his face, like a bone to a
dog, the donor is not benefited by the
gift, and the receiver is not, and GER
tainly should not be, grateful. 1t is
insulted. "-Burdette.

Never fret children just before they
retire to rest Let the fathers caress
the mothers kiss be the last link be-
tween the days pain or pleasure and
the nights sleep. Send the children
to bed happy. If there is sorrow,
punishment or disgrace, Let them meet
it in the daytime, and have hours OF
play and thought in which to recover
happiness, which is childhoods right.
Let the weary feet, the busy brain
rest in bed, happy.

PROHIBITION IN IowA.-The Su-
preme Court of the State of Iowa has
decided that, owing to clerical error
the Prohibitory Amendment passed by
the last Legislature and adopted by
an enormous majority is essentially
defective and therefore not binding.
Judge Beck dissented from the opin-
ion Of the other four judges, and held
that the manifest intention of the law
ought to override any mere technical
error; but so-caled law has triumph
ed over reason and the expressed wish
of the people. The saloon keepers
are jubilant, but theirjoy will be very
short-lived The whole State feels
outraged that their will should have
been set aside, and will see to it that
they get tight law next time, and
will roll up so enormous majority as
will effectually silence the advocates
of license laws. We believe this mere
technical defeat will only make the
the next victory >urer, and prove that
Americans can and will rule this land
Let the friends of the Prohibitory
Amendment take courage, renew the
fight, and score another glorious vic
tory.-Epsscopal Methodist.
How often will the Temperance
people perpetrate this folly? Why
do they do it? They put too much
confidence in scheming politicians
In one county in this State the repre-
sentatives to the House and Senate
were elected by the Local Option peo-
pie, the party having pledged itself to
get bill. They got the bill, came
home, and worked against it. Anoth,
er representative got the bill for his
county through the House, and lob
bied in the Senate to its defeat. Gt
