Il
the churches of the city has increased
since last week. Services are held in
some of the Baptist and Methodist
churches every night as they were
last week, and have been well attended.
The Bible readings in the afternoon
at the Grace Street Presbyterian
church, conducted by Rev. George c..
Needham, will continue until after next
Sabbath. On last Sabbath afternoon
"a service was held in this church for
men only. The house was crowded,
and great interest was manifested.
About thirty persons present requested
the prayers of the meeting for their
salvation. A most interesting state.
ment was made by Mr.. Cree, General
Secretary of the international Young
Mems Christian Association, with re-
gard to the wonderful growth of these
associations in Europe and America.
Mr.. Needham will hold meeting next
Sabbath afternoon for men only, SINH
lar to the one above described.
In the Second Presbyterian church
a meeting was held on Monday night,
conducted by the pastor, Rev. DR..
Hoge, for the benefit of those who are
personally concerned on the subject of
religion. This meeting was well at
tended, about seventy-fve persons be-
ing present.
The service at the Old Market was
continued Sunday night. Notwith-
standing the fact that DIR. Hoge had
requested his own congregation not to
attend these meetings, so that all the
seats might be left for those for whom
the services are specially intended, the
hall was again crowded. The only
church in the valley is the Methodist
church on goth street, and many OF
those who were at the Old Market
Hall Sunday night, are little accus-
toned, we presume, to the services OF
the sanctuary. The meeting opened
at 7! P. NJ, though the audience began
to assemble at Z, and continued to
come in after 8 O'Clock. The singing
by the volunteers who assembled with
in the railing to conduct that special
service was exceedingly good, and it's
effect was greatly enhanced by the &C
compartment of the cornet, which
gave volume and spirit to the sounds
of praise. We rather prefer it to the
organ, and decidedly, to the melodeon.
The Rev. Mr.. McGilvray, of the Meth
odist church, opened the meeting with
prayer, and DR.. Hoge preached for an
hour from Hebrews V: 2. The audi
ence was one of the most orderly and
attentive we have ever seen. Deep in
terest is felt in these meetings, and we
hope that DR.. Hoge has gone down
into the valley to "stay," and that in
the future the Old Market may become
as famous for its religious exercises,
and the triumphs of grace as it was
once upon time for the stormy polit-
ical excitement and party strife with
which its memory is associated.
If the people will not come to the
Church, the Church must go to the peo-
pie.

DR.. }. j. MooRMAN, widely known as
a physician and writer, died at his re-
sidence in Salem, Va, on the 21st inst,
having nearly completed his eighty
third year.
To many of our readers he was known
through his connection with the White
Sulphur Springs, where he was resi-
dent physician for, we think, over fifty
years. For ten years past, or more,
he has been an elder of the church in
Salem, where he went to reside in 1861.
He was member of the Staunton AS
sembly, and several times attended
upon the meetings of the Synod of Vir-
ginia.
DIR. Norman was widely known as
a physician and writer on medical sub
jects. For several years he was one OF
the professors or lecturers in the Uni
versity of Maryland. At the White
Sulphur he had met nearly all the dis
tinguished men of this country and
many foreign celebrities of this and a
previous generation. His memory was
very retentive, and his personal recol-
lections of the men and things he had
known were exceedingly entertaining.
A note from his pastor informs us that
he passed away calmly, peacefully, in
full assurance of faith in Christ, sur
rounded by his family and friends.

THE MODEL WIFE.
The Woman Whom Husbands Love More
Than Their Cigars and Horses.

The Woman Whom Husbands Love More
Than Their Cigars and Horses.
Scripture, and history, and poetry vie
with one another in sounding the praises
of the model wife. The man who is
blessed with companion worthy the
name of model wife can snap his fin
gers in the faces of all the old bachelors
that ever breathed and give them points
each day in every exalted pleasure that
makes life worth living. There is no
danger of his applying for a divorce.
Unfortunately for the married men OF
this generation, the model wives are
most all dead. The struggle for exist
ence was too much for them. The
ceaseless, silent self-sacrifice needed to
build up model domestic character
could only be met and borne as long as
there was n living appreciation of the
personal laws of duty that underiie all
sorts of ideal existence. The men who
appreciated model wives, and were in
return willing to be model husbands.
were so few that the good wives-that
is. the model wives grew discouraged
and took to their graves or some more
congenial occupation.
The few model wives that are left are
cherished by their husbands beyond
even their cigars or their horses. The
model wife of the workingman. clerk or
business man has some appreciation of
the ten thousand little laborS, petty
cares and annoyanceS that her husband
has to 90 through each day in his work
shop or office. She considers that such
worrying cares are a part of the duties
by which her husband makes a living
for himself. for her and for the chill
dren. if there are any. And when the
husband comes home from his work,
tired, perhaps cross, and hungry and
out of sorts, she is always ready TO meet
him with some quiet and gentle good
cheer. Her own person is attractive
and restful TO him. She always ha:
some pleasant scheme in mind TO make
his home hours delightful to him and
so make herself indispensable and 6
constant JOY.
The model wife does not see how
many poor and silly or exciting things
she can say to her tired husband. Il
she has anything to ask she waits unit

REAL CIvIL-SERvICE REFORM.
How Old Norwood Goodboy Applied the
Rules to His Son, Leonidas.

By the way, You remember young
Leonidas GoOdboy? Old Norwood
GoOdboy's son. nice chap: smart. and
well behaved a. rule. He went away
to college only last month and came
back home last week for ten days visit.
He said it was the ..shOrt vacation.
Old Norwood had never been to col
lcge i'm his life. but he surmised that
something was short beside the vaca-
ton. So one day. after Leonidas had
called his mother Dame" once or twice.
and addressed his father as ''GovernOr"
and Gov" called his sister '.gummy. "
and slapped his little brother, the old
man took him away into an exceeding
dark and lonesome woodShed. AMI while
he stood there, cutting the buckle off a
skate strap i'm an awfully solemn way.
he told Leonidas that since he went
away in December. there had been a
popular revolution in the house; that
the people had successfully inaugurated
a through civil-service reform; that it
was Just a little the thorOughest and
civiliest he had ever seen; that the rules
of the service were most rigidly and
most civily enforced, and that Section L,
Article l, was that the oldest man in the
house was boss; and Section =, same
article. was that sass is sass, whether it
came from a tramp, hired girl, or a

and there made practical application
of the rules of the civil service with

back like cleavs of the forest for num-

formed boy. He? oh, bless you, no, he
doesn't want to go back. but ne has to,

The great international exhibition at
New Orleans has not been a success inaD-
cially. Its principal manager, Maj. Burke,
it is reported, has sacrificed sl50,000 of
his own means in carrying it on. But
congress will be appealed to next winter
TO make up the deficiencies in the inan
cial budget Of this great national enter
prise, one OF the grandest ever inaugu-
rated in any country. 1t has been decided
to close it next Saturday till November
next, when it is proposed to open it again.
To aid in this project. the citizens of New
Orleans have subscribed 1901 600 and will
increase this sum. The steamboat and
railway companies subscribe $200, 900, and
other donations will probably be rendered
before the opening mex autumn.
