Dispensing With the Gospel.

Mrs. Darlington uttered more Of
truth than she thought when she
said:
"Dear mel nothing don't do me
so much good as to go to church on
Sunday morning and hear a prec-
ious minister dispense with the
gospelP
Yes, dear soul, that is exactly
what some of them do; they give
us anything and everything but
the glad tidings of salvation, and
then they wonder that their chap
els become empty. Yet it does not
do to say as much, or you will have
a hornets nest about your ears. OF
course, they preach gospel-that is
to say, a gospel, if not the gospel.
What is the difference? Only the
indefinite for the definite article
only sand instead of rock only
opinion in place of truth Blessed
is he who dispenses the gospel, bat
cursed is he who dispenses with it!

Practical Hints about Glasses.

Persons finding their eyes becom-
ing dry and itching on reading, as
we'll as those who find it necessary
to place an object nearer than four
teen inches from their face to read,
need spectacles.
Persons under forty years of age
should not wear glasses until the
accommodating power of the eyes
has been suspended and the exact
state of refraction determined by a
competent ophthalmic surgeon.
The spectacle glasses sold by
peddlers and jewelers. generally are
hurtful to the eyes of those who
read much, as the lenses are made
of inferior sheet glass and are not
systematically ground.
No matter how perfectly they
may be made, unless they are noun
ted in suitable frame and proper
ly placed before the eye, discom-
fort will arise from their prolonged
use.
There are three systems OF grad
ing spectacle lenses: the English,
the metric, and the Prussian.
Those made to supply the demands
of the trade in this country are
carelesaly made, and M'e poor imi-
tations of either the English or the
metrical system. The metrical
scale has no English equivalent, is
not graded by any uniform rule OF
dividing the inter focal spaces, and
is therefore unsuited to the exact
ing demands of science.
Persons holding objects too near
the face endanger the safety of their
ewes and incur the risk OF becom-
ing near-sighted.
The near-sighted eye is an I'M
sound eye, and should be fully cor
rected with a glass, notwithstand-
ing the fact it may need no aid for
reading.
The proper time to begin wearing
glasses is just as soon as the eyes
tire on being subjected to prolong-
ed use.- Medical Herald.

C0lOred w. C. t. {.

Mrs. Hill, fine looking colored
woman who is superintendent of
work among her people in the In
diana W. c. t. u, gave an inter-
esting account at the State Con-
vention of the first Unions formed
by her among colored women. She
said:
"There weren't colored women
enough to go round with the offices
at first, so we had to borrow white
women to start with, but now we
have four Unions in indianapolis,
and an industrial school of $50
members which has sewed las gar
ments this year, and a Band of
Hope Of 233 pledged children"
This is a grand work accomplish
ed in a very short time. Mrs. Hill
has large family which she sup
ports by washing, and does all this
work besides. Signal.

Searching Question.

What right has a Christian lady
to give herself away to skeptical
scoffer-a man that hates her Bible,
her Christ and her Coda man
that tramples the law of her God
under his feet? What right has
Christian man to become linked
with soothing, swearing woman
that has no faith in God and the
Bible? BE ye not unequally yok-
ed with unbelievers.n Yet the mo-
ment you touch this question they
throw up their heads and say:
81 will marry whom l please"
Well, we give you the word of
God, and i you go against that you
must reap what you sow. There
are hundreds of men and women in
this country weeping, and they are
reaping bitter fruit Oh how many
times | have had mother come to
me with broken heart, and say;
Il want you to pray for my drum
ken son."
HOW came your son TO be q
drunkard ?"
"Well, my husband set bad ex-
ample. He insisted upon having
it upon the table"
Glow loEg have you been a
Christian? Were you Christian
before you married him?"

"Did you know he was scofer
before you married ?"

You had better save him before
you marry him better see him con-
verted before you marry him.

Let US teach our daughters a
higher use for their attractions
than simply to captivate the senses
to ennoble the hearts of their
young companions, to inspire right
deeds. Tell them that grace and
sprightliness are still more win
ming if combined with delicacy of
feeling, which avoids undue famil-
iarity, and never fails to insist that
all visitations and communications
shall be at reasonable hours.
Mothers, we have grave response
bilities. How far we come short
of our dutyl But let us strive to do
the best we can, and perhaps the
widening circles of our influence
may strengthen the weak and keep
the sorely tempted in the straight
path. Pittsburgh Commercial Ga

er good sleep, and let that little.

A WOman'S Words.

This celebrated case 1.-THE Dukes
murder case has been heralded
from one end of the country to the
other and fills the breast of every
honorable minded person with hor-
ror.
Enough perhaps has already been
said about it, certainly enough that
is sensational, but | cannot refrain
from addressing a word to mothers
while the tide of Indignation is
flowing in. We feel the deepest
sympathy for the bereaved family
of Capt. Mutt. Too tender words
cannot be spoken to them; but
shall we utterly forget the anguish
of that other mother in whose heart
sinks every arrow aimed at her son,
and fills with unsparing hand the
cup Of woe which she must drink ?
For the sake of that suffering heart
we rejoice that one man says, Let
us do nothing hastily" even though
personal spite so cunningly grasp
ed the opportunity to belittle the
speaker. Knowing the family
from childhood, he dared to raise
his voice against the popular tide,
Gin judgment remembering mer-
cy." He will never regret it.
Are we sure that our sons will
never bring upon us the crushing
sorrow that has fallen upon the
heart of this worthy woman? We
repel the thought with indigna-
ton. So would she have done as
she looked fondly upon her boy
her solace in widowhood-as she
watched his progress in college,
heard the enconiums of teachers and
friends, and felt even so lately the
mothers pride in his political sue
cess. Can we realize the agony Of
that cry as his crimes, his ruined
life, his inevitable remorse, rushed
upon her mind. Better had he been
shotW What shall we learn from
this fearful lesson? To train our
sons as carefully as we guard our
daughters; to implant in them
from their earliest childhood the
principles of purity and honor; to
teach them that an impure word is
as polluting to their lips as to their
sisters: to so fill their minds with
sentiments of beauty that vulgar
jokes and tales will be distasteful
to impress upon them the truth
that temptation and opportunity are
no excuse for lack Of honor, but the
very time firm principles are need
ed to teach our youths the impor-
lance of sclf-con troll, and that it is
as infamous to draw aside from the
path of virtue young orphan who
has no protector, or daughter of
the poor and lowly, as the pride of
noble father. Inform them of
the inevitable consequence of
laxity of morals, the fearful herit-
age to innocent generations of the
future; that nature cannot be de-
ceived, her laws are final, her pun
ishment sure.
Fear not that you will make them
effeminate. An honorable, high
toned man has as much energy and
force-yes, far more, than one who
has wasted his youth in questiona-
BILE pleasures.

Sleep For Women.

Women sleep by far too little.
Sleeplessness is one of the most
fruitful causes of the paleness and
nervousness so CHARACTERISTIC OF
American mothers. You will ex-
cuse US, sir, but permit US to ask
whether your wife is not still busy
with the care of your family SIX
hours after your days work is done?
