A Genius for Friendship.

This genius for friendship, for en-.
tering into relationship with another, is
the rarest of gifts. For the most part
we go each our own way and make
virtue of it. The keenly critical nature
is seldom the sympathetic or the help
full It brings to bear the disintegrat-
ing, the analytical, rather than the
constructive and the synthetic forces,
and is far more apt to commend the
unfortunate to the aid of Heaven than
it is to endeavor to make itself an agen-
cy in heavenly work. A man has in
volved himself in some unfortunate and
exacting circumstances; he has some
how dropped the clue of success and is
cropping blindly in the labyrinth; and
we remark en- his unwisdom, and Won
der how he could have done so, and
with the comforting reflection that it is
none of our affairs, we leave him to
grope his way blindly as best he may.
It is no affair of ours. But is 1t not?
Does not the man or woman Who fails
to speak the needed word at the right
moment to give the inspiration Of SYM
pathy CT of counsel, become morally ac-
countble for the failure? "No one ever
came so near as Margaret Fuller" said
one who knew her well. "And have
no doubt" adds Mr.. Emerson, "that she
saw expressions, heard tones, and re-
ceived thoughts from her companions
which no ore else drew from them"
In this sympathetic capacity she made
of life her art. She saw the secret, in
terror capability. She brought this
vital educative power to act on all TO
whom she applied herself to counsel or
aid.-Boston Traveller.

An ELOQUENT Tramp.

A stupid looking tramp knocked at
the door of one OF the finest residence
in Austin, and was received by the
lady of the house, who expressed some
curiosity to know what he wanted.
"Please, mum. give me Il dime to
get glass of bread-'scuse me, l
mean loaf of beer
II hain't got no money" the lady
replied:
madame. you should move into a
cheaper house. so you will not deceive
the humble tramp by the gorgeous
ness of you residence. You are living
beyond your means. Economy is
wealth.
"Now you clear out of here or I'll
call my husband.
"Cut down your expenses, madame

or later your husband will be in my
fix 1 had just such wife as you,
and that is what has brought me to
the condition l am now in. Reduce
your expenses, madame. and some of
these days you may have a dime-a
whole dime-which may be the means
of preventing some hungry, thirsty
fellow mortal from committing suicide /;
or it may be a quarter, {: coin of the
value of twenty five cents, that will

pairing soul with silver-plated lining

Decaying branches break off sooner or
| later some distance from the trunk.
| When this happens, nature at once
begins to work by closing in the bark
at the base of the branch, which IS
| finally forced off when the bark meets,
if not before. In vigorous trees decay
in such a case rarely extends farther
than the base of the branch, because
the projecting pieces afford protection
from moisture until the wound is heal
ed over, as is often very well shown
in the buried knots of sawn-up trees.
L had u ramble through a broad belt
of woodland the other day, which,
am assured, the pruning hook" has
never entered, and was impressed by
the fact that it had never apparently
been missed. The trees are rather
crowded, having been planted for
sheltering purposes, but, with the ex-
ceptlon of those at the margin OF the
belt are remarkably straight and
although they are all decidu-
GUS showing that the shape of timber
trees depend more upon thinning than
pruning. The wind has little power
to do injury to such plantation, but
many of the lower branches decay and
fall off naturally before they get
strong, and hence leave no mark on
the trunk, because the knots soon heal
over. If this were not the case, such
thing as a clean pine or fir-tree
would never be seen in plantations,
for, as a rule, these are subjected to
no other pruning than nature affords,
and which consists in the shedding of
so many BRANCHES annually. Within
the past few years there have been cut
here large tracts of as fine larch, per-
haps, as could be seen, every tree bare
of branches TO near the top, from ma
ture's pruning. There was not an un-
sound trunk among them from decayed
branches. The same thing happens
with deciduous trees under similar
conditions. If the trees are judicious-
ly thiEned. the lower branches decay
and fall off before they grow large,
and the marks of them disappear in a
short time.

Goody- Goody Preshyterians vs.. BADLY
Badly Catholics.


Badly Catholics,
CINCINNATI, May 25.--AJ p. m. when
Judge brakes resolution against the
validity OF the Roman Catholic baptism
was taken up in the Pfesby terian Gem
eral assembly, he yielded the floor,
asking that some opponent open the de-
bate and that he be allowed to close.
DR.. w. G. Alexander, professor OF the
theological seminary, of San Francisco,
spoke in opposition to the resolu-
tion. He said it waS useless, as
1T would would not be deliverance,
but simply an expfession OF opinion
of hose voting. 1t was mischieVous,
since by passing it we make ourselves
the laughing stock of the world. 1t is
more papal than all the papists COM
bined. IL involves a mlsinterpretation
of the standards according to which the
"Visible Church" is composed of all
those who profess the true religion.
| This resolution denies the validity OF
| the baptism administered to millions of
persons who have come into the Pro-
! iestant church from the Roman Catho-
| lie church and never received any oJher
| baptism.
Bishop Nevin followed at some
| length, showing in what the cor
raptions of the Roman Catholic church
! CDHSlsJeus
Or. Schaff offered substitute for the
resolution, to the effect that the Roman
Catholic church, though corrupt and
teaching many unscriptural errors, yet
retaining the Holy scriptural and an
cienb creeds with all the fundamental
truths OF Christianity, it is still branch
of The visible church of Christ, and
! therefore the sacrament of baptism adj
ministered by that church, with the
right 10 baptize, is true and valid
Christian baptism, which cannot and
ought not to be repealed. DR.. Scbat
spoke in favor of the subftitute by
showing from the history Of the church
til at baptism administered in the name
of the Trinity, with the proper lnten-
ton, regardless OF the character OF the
one administering it, had always been
considered valid.
Further debate was postponed until
| tomorrow afternoon.
