Religious Notes.

The talk in the prayer-meeting should
be supplemented in s1e life just as truly
as should the deliverances of the pulpit.
- Waterman.
Reflection is an angel which points
out the errors of the past, and gives US
courage to avoid them in the future.
Faith is the blossom of the soul; it
makes the hope of future life bright
reality, and brings departed friends in
speaking distance.
The noblest spirits are those which
turn to heaven, not in the hour of sor-
row, but in that of Joy. Like the lark,
they wait for the clouds to dispense,
that they may soar up into their native
element
There is nothing more TO be esteemed
than a manly firmness and decision of
character. | like person who knows
his own mind and sticks to il; who secs
at once what is TO be done in given cir
cumstances and does it ". u. Hdzitl.
Ananias and Sapphire died most
tragicallv! Have they left any posterity
to inherit their characteristic? Alas,
too many, Says Ruskin: 1T IS not
calumny nor treachery that does the
largest sum Of mischief in the world;
they are continually crushed, and are
felt only in being conquered. Bat it is
the glistening and softly-spokeii lie; the
amiable fallacy; the patriotic life of the
historian, the provident lie of the poll
tician. the Jealous lie Of the partisan,
the merciful lie of the friend, and the
careless lie of each man TO himself. that
casts that black mystery over humanity
through which every man who pierces
we thank. as we would thank one who
dug through well in a desert.
Would our King tell US again, Fear
noti'' if there were any resaons at all
for fear? Would he say this kind word
again and again, ringing changes as of
the bells of heaven upon it, only to
mock us. if he knew all the time that
we could not possibly help fearing?
Only give half an hour TO seeking out
the reasons he gives why we are not to
fear: see how we are to fear nothing,
and never and nowhere; see how he
himselfis, in every case, the foundation
and the grand reason Of his command,
his presence and his power always be-
hind it, and then shall we hesitate to
say. Il will fear no evil, for thou art
with me?n Shall we even fancy there
is any answer to those grand and for
ever unanswered questions: 1.-The Lord
is my light and my salvation; whom
shall fear? The Lord is the strength
of my life; of whom shall be AFRAID

An attempt was recently made by a
householder in an Iowa town to get an
injunction restraining the reading of
the Bible in the public schools of that
State, and also to prohibit the singing
of hymns or repeating the Lords Prayer.
In decision rendered, the Court held
that such selections were intended to
inculcate morality, purity and honesty,
and were, therefor, part of the school
system. He refused to grant the de-
sired order.

prize that promises rich. Miss Cherry

Tie author of The Bread winners
has written a spicy letter, which will
appear in the March Century, replying
to the charges of his critics, that's a.
1.-The Bread-winners' is conceived from
an aristocratic point of view. Cd 1t is
not well written. The incidents Are ex-
travagant and untrue to nature: and (S.)
1t is base and craven thing to publish
book anonymously On the last point
he says. "My motive in withholding nv
name is simple enough. am engaged
in business in which my standing would
be seriously compromised if it were
known that had written novel. am
sure that my practical efficiency is not
lessened by this act; but / am equally
sure that / could never recover from the
injury it would occasion me If known
among my own colleagues. For that
positive reason, and, for the negative
one that do not care for publicity, |
resolved to keep the knowledge of nv
little venture in authorship restricted to
as small circle as possible. Only two
persons besides myself know who wrote
The Bread-winners.

There seems to be a probability that
the law legislating naval cadets out of
position, bill prepared, advocated and
passed by and through the influence of
Congressman Robson, will be repealed,
in so far as it pertains to those classes
who had completed the four years
course at the academy prior to the pass
age of the act, and that those numbers
of the class of 81 who were honorably
discharged may return to the service
and take their places on the naval
register.

is no doubt the Chicago convention will
have full supply of candidates, unless

The railroad companies, whose lines
extend into the Territory of Dakota
are anticipating "a grand revival of the
emigration excitement that obtained a
year or so ago. From present indca-
tons they will not be greatly disap-
pointed, only that the bulk of emjgra-
ton will be to northern Dakota, aud
along the line of the Northern Pacific
in Montana and Washington Territory.
Already the local exchanges are chronic
aling the arrangements made by citi-
zens who are DESTROYS of lettering their
condition.
Instead of receding, the waters in the
Eastern and Southern States have been
gaining in volume, until the devastating
floods of one year ago have been far ex-
ceeded. The amount of damage done,
both to life and property, has never be-
fore been equaled in that section.
Great privation and restitution exists
among the people in the immediate dis
tricts. and the chilly weather makes
their suiferings all the more greater.
What the result will be is hard to sur
mise, but it is to be hoped that the worst
has been experienced and that the good
work of relief will go on until all are
placed beyond the necessities of want.

Reports were recently taken in GU,
High School of the books the students
had read in the past six months Oh the
subjects of GAY history, (b) biography,
(c) travels and description. The results
are such as to cause deep regret to all
who are interested in the highest good
of the young. OF Sc repoits from Room
E., Is had rea,l nothing on these sub
jects. only had had read histories az
volumes in ally, only z had read biog-
raphy (13 in ally, and only had read
travels and description G. in ally. Even
of this small number three reported
having read a book partially or had
read the subjects only from magazines.
In room F, from q reports, 10 had read
nothing on these subjects, 2 had read
history a volumes in alD, z had read
biography GO volumes), and had read
travels and description (13 volumes. In
all, So volumes were read, of which 1a
were read by two students, leaving only
IS for all the rest. With some of them
no doubt time for reading Is limited;
and yet large portion have abundance
of time for various useless amusements,
and some, we feel sure, waste much in
absolute vacancy. The time will surely
come when these young people will
sorelY regret THAI they aave not devoted
more thought to their own Improvement
during these years that are so swiftly
passing. Where rests the responsibility?
A GOOD TIME.-In recent letter to
students, DIR. Buckley editor of the New
York Christian Advocate, expresses the
following admirable words: 81 exhort
you to have a good time. but to make
honest work in the study and recitation
loom one of the elements, an indispen-
sable element, of that good time. A
good time without this is intoxication.
1t is mistake to think that only those
who drink wine are intoxicated He
who lives in school or college without
doing the work for which he is sent, de-
pending upon the pleasures of social
life, personal intercourse, athletic or
other sports, to keep up the flow of
spirits, is intoxicated, and sooner or
later will awake to painful knowl-
edge of the fact that, like all other in
toxicated persons, he has been extrava-
giant, reckless, and wasteful" He also
says: LET me advise you to do your
utmost to perfect your style as writer.
There is no good writing without clear
thinking. The work of composition is
the work of the whole intellect. Be not
content with writing what is required,
but practice writing your thoughts
valuable or otherwise as they NAV
seem to yoWupon every subject that
interests you, and participate in debate
whenever you have the opportunity
No American citizen is sure that he will
not be placed many times where it will
be a calamity to him not to be able to
express himself with force and pre-
cision."
