THE New York Herald, which is the most
English paper in New York, We knaw. since
Mr.. Hurburt retired from the World, takes
Mr.. Hendricks to task for publicly expressing
sympathy with Mr.. Parnell in his efforts to Sc
cure an Irish Parliament. The Herald should
possess its soul in peace. Mr.. Hendricks is
not warlike man, and so seldom says any
thing in public that cannot be construed in a
different way from each point OF the
compass, that he should be given
latitude and encouragement. If a war
with any power should depend on
him, the world could at once set about laying
plans for the millennium People who were
intimately acquainted with Mr.. Hendricks
during the late unpleasantness remember him

MANKIND in general entertains respect for
an honorable, open enemy rather than for a
sneaking and hypocritical one. For this rea-
son Senator Blackburn compels respect be-
cause of his blunt honesty of opinion and pur-
pose when he says:

lican office-holder, and remove him because
he is bad. Then / want to remove every good
Republican because he is a Republican, and
there is as capable Democrat for the place,
who is better because he is Democrat"
How much better this is than the contempt
ible and false support given this law by other
Democrats, who pretend to honor it by requir-
ing charges to be brought before removals are
made. The infamy of these fellows is arpar-
ent only when it is known that the mere form
of "charge" is all that is required. There
isn't one Democratic official among five hun
dred in Washington in service now but hates
the civil-service law as cordially as does the
senator from Kentucky. But for the purpose
of making a show of observing it in order to

up a specious pretense of honoring its require

Love does not merely say to the
thirsty one, come and drink, but takes
the cup of cold water to the parched
lips. Christ did not remain in heaven
and invite all the world to come up
in its dying need his overlooking love
brought salvation to lost men. Love
gives; it never takes without offering
a return. Selfishness cannot love deep
or broad. 1t has strong passion and
intense desire, but of broad, deep love
it is ignorant A miser has a narrow
affection. He may love his wife and
child, but it will be shallow, without
any true appreciation of loves de-
mands. A generous man may not be
deep in his ideas, but he will be broad =,
for he who takes the whole world into
his heart will begin to see the whole
world in its needs. The spirit of penu-
robustness not only contracts ones affec-
tons, but his conceptions of truth
and life. 1t blinds mans eyes to his
own needs and to the wants of others.
Even cent too near mans eye will
shut out all the sunbeams. A selfish
husband is unkind because he cannot
appreciate a woman's. higher nature.
A selfish Christian is generally narrow
in his opinions; does not see the need
of progressive measures, or believe in
missions; and though his theology may
be broad, it will be so because it brings
less demand upon his benevolence.
This is almost the saddest thing about
selfishness-that it not only dries up
the heart, but contracts the mind,
makes men sharp, but narrow, in all
their character; yea, even reveals itself
upon the face. Selfish men have never
led the church in its victories because
they never see or feel the truth in all
its broadness. Great things have al
ways been planned and led by gener-
Gus souls.-Rec. Smith Baker, IN lions

What Are Christians For?

A Christian lady, who was engaged
in work for the poor and degraded, was
once spoken to by one who was well ac-
quainted with both the worker and
those whom she sought to reach, and
demonstrated with for going among such
a class of people. ." 1t does seem Won
derful to me that you can do such
work" her friends said. " You sit be-
side these people and talk with them in
a way that | do not think you would do
if you knew all about them-just what
they are and from what places they
came" Her answer was, Well, |
suppose they are dreadful people; but
if the Lord Jesus were now on earth
are they not the very sort of people that
he would strive to reach? And am
better than my Master? Would he feel
himself too good to go among them?"
A poor illiterate person, who stood lis
tening to this conversation, said, with
great earnestness and simplicity, "Why,
/ always thought that was what Chris
tians were for.p The objector was
silenced, and what wonder? Is not
that what Christians are for? If not,
then what, in the name of all that is
good, are they for?-American Mes

UpSetting Moses.

Jim Manly began to talk: " / say,
deacon, Darwin's theory of evolution is
little hard on the first chapter of Gene
sis. OF course we don't know how it
will turn out, but it looks a little as
though they were going to upset Moses"
The deacon made no answer. He
surely must have heard Jim's remark.
Presently he was observed to be count
ing his fingers slowly, and with pause
for thought between each enumeration.
After a while Jim ventured to ask,
Counting up your saw-logs, deacon,
aren't you?n "No," said the deacon.
"I'll tell you. Your remark set me
thinking. / was just counting up how
many times in the course of human his
tory somebody has upset Moses. First
of all, two old jugglers named James
and Jambres undertook this, but they
failed. Then certain king named
Pharaoh went at the work of upsetting.
He must have found it more of work
than he anticipated, for he has not
reached home yet. Then three leaders
of liberal thong ht-Korah, Dathan and
Abiram-went at the job. They failed
in the upsetting part, but they secured
a bit of ranch for themselves, which
they and their children have held in
quiet possession until this day. Later
on king named Nebuchadnezzar en-
tered upon the upsetting business. He
did not succeed either. lie spent seven
years eating grass like beast, and
when he had served out his time he had
changed his mind, and was sadder
and wiser man. His successor met with
a still greater disaster, and in a similar
attempt. Since that time there has
been no end of persons who have tried
to upset Moses. Some ancient heather,
CELSIUS and Porphyry and Julian the
apostate, and latterly these German
critics and scientists, so-called, are at
the same thing. Years ago, when / was
in Boston, l heard of a meeting of free
thinkers at IA place called Chapman
Hall. | could not resist the temptation
to go just once and hear what they
said. | found about twenty persons
there; three or four of them were
women, all the rest men. And what
do you think they were engaged in?
The old enterprise of upsetting Moses
And yet Moses has to-day in the syna-
gogues of Boston more people that
preach him than he ever had before.
1t is astonishing how much upsetting
it takes to upset Moses. 1t is like upset
ting granite cube. Turn it on which
face you will, there it stands as solid as
ever. The cube is used to being upset
and does not mind it. 1t always amuses
me when ! hear fresh cry from some
new quarter, averring that some man
whom nobody has ever heard of has
found out sure way of doing what
others have failed in. And now here
comes jim Manly, and Moses has to be
upset again. All, WE'LL" and the dea-
con sighed. There was roar of
laughter that made the rafters of the
old saw-mill ring, and all joined in ex,
