asked:
"Bub, have you seen lady standing
on this corner within few minutes 2"
"Yaas," was the prompt reply. "She
was here about ten minits ago."
"And where did she go?"

A Country Singing-SchOOl.

Did you ever attend country sing
ing-school in the days of 'auld lang
syne?" If you never did, you have
missed rare treat. l remember when
L used to walk mile to where my girl
lived, and then go two miles further to
sing ng-school, full well.
There was the teacher professors
were scarce in those days., with two or
three charts on which were the full notes,
looking like boldly outlined goose-eggs,
and the halves the same, excepting that
the ladies with which they were being
lifted from the pot were visible and the
quarters were great, black balls, just
colliding with long, frail bats. The
teacher owned tuning fork, and when
| he wished to find out the starting point
| for song, he would tap it on the
dusty, Scared desk in the old frame
meeting house churches were as scarce
as professors them, and say "do, mi,
sol, do, do-o-o," then gradually went
up to "mi" again, and said edo" in the
same KEY, and then we oil tried to
repeat it in the same way, and ranged
all the way from an octave, to above
half an octave below.
After harder work than it takes to
saw q cord of wood. we all agreed on
the right kind of do" and then the
teacher kept us doing until he led us
up to the note on which the song in
hand began, and then we "fa" ell awhile,
and then he began counting zone, two;
one, two;" until we got to bobbing our
heads up and down, and stamping with
our feet, when he suddenly broke the
monotonous style of counting and said
zone, two; one, ready; sing" and half
of us started out all right, quarter
wrong, and the remainder not at ALL
Then we had to begin again, and in
due time we all were singing, To be
sure, some of the tenors would hum
bass, and it was difficult to keep the
contraltos off the soprano cleft, but
we got there, all the same, even if there
were two young fellows, one of whom
is writing about it at this moment, who
never could keep their voices in line,
and were usually singing air as they
called it, although assigned to the
group of tenors.
In about three weeks, we began 90
sing round" songs. when one-fourtL OF
| the class sang one-fourth of the song,
and began on the first, and took to
their heels on the third quarter, when
the third fourth started in on the first,
and were coming down the home
stretch like CREASED organette by the
time the last installment became due,
and then started in again with all the
rest hard after them in regular order.
In due time, of course, we began to
pull up on the leaders, and before we
let up, we would all be coming in on
the home stretch together. When we
had conquered this difficult branch of
the art, we regard ourselves as perfect,
and were ready to challenge any other
school in the universe. Oh, yes
Those were grand, good old days, !

Ice Worms.

Not content with discovering many
species of ugly animalculse in our drink
ing-water, the scientists propose TO fan
the opposition against st. John to a
fiercer heat by asserting that even the
ice with which the Schuylkill water is
cooled for drinking swarms with dis
agreeable worms. At the last meeting
of the Academy of Natural Sciences
the President, DIR. Joseph Leidy, stated
that member had recently given to
him for examination vial of water OBJ
tanned by melting ice used for cooling
drinking-water. The member who
submitted the vial had noticed living
worms in the sediment Of water-cool-
er, but had supposed that they were
contained in the water. Upon melting
some of the ice, however, the worms
were still observed. These worms,
which were from four to six millimeters
long and colorless, belong to the same
family as the common earth worms
the lumbricid@. Their bodies have
thirty segments bearing spines. Be-
sides this cheerful discovery, Prof.
Leidy found in the vial several dead
worms with large ciliated infusorians
vegetable hairs, and other debris. II
has been supposed that ice was free
from the impurities of the water upon
whose surface it was frozen, but this
discovery is against that theory

and-will you please excuse me?" She
turned to enter the other room, and
Gid had no choice but to retreat. He
was in such state of mind, between
disappointment and chag1in, that he
left his hat lying upon the sofa, and
bolted out bareheaded. and down into
the street. He ran almost block be-
fore he discovered why people were
staring at HIM. How he hated to go
back But the hat was new, and Gid
was Just little close over unnecessary
expenditures. He therefore returned,
and climbed the stairs softly. hoping
that she might still be in the inner
room and would not hear him enter.
But, as he reached the threshold OF
the studio. he was greeted with a most
startling little drama. Not only Daisy,
but also Miss Hellett, had emerged
the highest state of exhilaration. They
stood with their backs to the door, and
were convulsed. at moments, with
laughter, over picture upon the easel,
which now stood in the center of the
room.
"Heavensl cried Name. at is a
splendid likeness
Il might pity him." said Daisy, "if
he wasn't so capable of pitying-him-
self"
Just then they moved, and Gid caught
sight of-his own portrait, ragged-hat-
ted, flannel-clad, and bearing a huge
title placard, "Down Our Wayl"
For q moment he was fairly stunned I;
then turning, he fed, hatless second
time, and choking with gasps of rage
and modification, to the street. He
ran several blocks in this condition, be-
fore he ever thought of hat-store.
He kept out of his uncle's sight that
evening and for several days after. But
gradually he came to himself, and
wrote to the long-neglected Mabel.

profligate son or fallen daughter will
prevail at last, penetrating through
every barrier of sin and selfishness.
The devoted love of brothers and sisters
of mercy who in any form give their
lives for others win at last win the
hearts of the hardest and most aban-
doned. 1t is as irresistible as summer
warmth on snow. Yet all this human
love is but the image and shadow OF
Divine love; 1--WE are but broken lights
of Thee" If the power of human love
is so great, if a man who has the rare
and godlike gift of pouring out OF his
little humal heart any tiny streamlet
of genuine human love can so attract
and sway and impel the human hearts
and wills around him, what wonder If
the Divine stream of love that poured
in full torrent on the world in the life
and death of Christ has moved the
world ever since. When you once open
your ears and your heart to the story of
Christ's love, when you listen to it, not
with languid, half-awakened intelli-
gence, but listen to it as you would
listen to the one fact that most of all
concerns you to know and understand,
then at last its power is felt.-ReU. j..

Gods Design.

We are quite certain that what we

artist meanslt should be. And | know

be, because feel yearnings and long
ings within myself 20 be infinitely bet

| am now. And so il is with you; you
are not what God means you to be; you
have only just begun TO be what He
wants you to be. lie will 90 on with
His chisel of aflliction, using wisdom
and the graving-tool together, till by
and by II shall appear what you shall
be; for you shall be like Him, and you
shall see Him as He is. o what com.
fort this is for our faith, that from the
fact that our vitality, and tho fact that
God is at work with us, it is clear and
true and certain that our latter end shall
be increased. do not think that any
man yet has ever got an idea Of what
man Is TO be. We are only the chalk
crayon, rough drawings Of men; yet
when we come to be filled up in eternity
we shall be marvellous pictures, and our
latter end, indeed, shall be greatly In.

What Love Does.

st. Paul says: "The love Of Christ
constraineth u.s." Others may use yari-
ous expressions, but they all ultimately
mean the same thing; "the love Of
Christ constraiueth" them. He does
not mean his love for Christ, but
Christ's love for him. This was the
grace and power that impelled him and
sustained him. II was strange, we may
say, that the love OF One whom we have
never seen, except in vision, should
have had this power. We may wonder,
but the fact remains. There was power In
His case, and the power remains still.
Il is the greatest power on earth. There
is no such motive power among men.
Men are so made that they can not sit
down and passively accept the pure love
of another; they may refuse TO listen, but
IL they listen It evokes response; they
become restless under It; IL melts hearts
Of stone. This Is true Of what Is, thank
God, the common love Of men and wom-
en-. The love OF parents for their chill
dren wakens the love OF children for
parents, and at last will control and

: Poverty's Means.

The practice Of the guest bringing his
own food TO be cooked is common one
even among classes many degrees above
poverty. For example, young clerk,
on say thirty pounds year, will buy
chop at the Leadenhall Market for his
midday-perhaps his only "solid ".
meal and take It to q neighboring chop
house, where 1t Is cooked for him and
served with piece Of bread for a
penny. The chop, half pound Of NUT
ton, has cost four pence; total cost of
solid meal, five pence. In Paris saw
an old veteran soldier, one who wore
several medals, enter soup-house on
the Rue St. Honore, buy bowl of hot
bouielLe-d-bdise for three cents, produce
q roll of bread frcm his pocket and thus
make solid meal for five cents. In
France even soup is considered solid.
The butcher-scrap business in London
affords, perhaps, the most striking
proof OF the extremities TO which the
poor are reduced for those nitrogenous
elements OF food which cold and wet
climate renders Indispensable. The re-
tail butcher shops are open from dawn
until about eleven clock at night, when
they begin to close. At this late hour
there Is no chance Of any further de-
mand for whole meats. But now COM
mences the trade In scraps. These con-
sist of such refuse as in America Is
thrown to the dogs or given to the
"swill" man. In London the demand
for it as human food is so strong that
children are sent 10 stand in line and
take their turn in purchasing the covet.
ed refuse at ten .and twelve cents PEI
pound. This trade continues up 70 one
o'clock in the morning, when the last
little pauper is sent home TO his expect

Was There n Cause !


We may see the significance of the
inquiry which the Almighty is said to
have put to Job-"Where vast thou
Tman1 when laid the foundations of
the world?" The supposed colloquy
between job and his Creator embraces
a pretty searching question, which may
be asked of the evolutionist; for, upon
the evolution theory, these things, the
tendency and capacity of the molecules
and the environing conditions, are 'the
foundations of the world" 1t is no
answer to say, as Mr.. Spencer does,
that these tendencies or capacities of
matter, and the laws of the favoring
conditions, came from the Unknown
Cause. Known or unknown, did they
have cause, or did they make them
selvesp Did these, the foundations Of
the world, have an origin, or were they
without any origin? If they had an
origin, was it from the will and power
of a being capable of summoning them
into existence and prescribing their
modes of action? II they had no origin,
If they existed from all eternity, how
came it that they formed this eXtraor-
dinary habit of invariably acting in a
certa n way, which, amid all its multi
formity, shows an astonishing persist
encyP II we deny, with Mr.. Spencer,
the absolute commencement of organic
life on the globe, we must still go back
of all the traces of organic life, and in
quire whence matter, molecules, organ
lied or unorganized, derived the capac-
ity to become organized, and how the
favoring conditions become established
as auxiliary or subsidiary forces. This
difficulty has not been met by Mr.
Spencer, or by any one else; for wheth-
er we call the cause an unknown or
a known cause, the question is, was
there cause, or did the foundations of
the world lay themselvesP The reason
ing powers of mankind, exercised by
daily observation Of cause and effect, of
creative product, seen, for example, in
the works of human power and skill
are entirely equal TO the conception of
a First Cause, as a being who could
have laid the foundations of the world;
but they are utterly unequal to the con-
ception that they had no origin what
ever,-George Iicknor Curtis, in The
Manhattan.
