The Young Mems Praying Band.

This is band composed of christian
young men who meet in this town on
Tuesday evening of each week for pray
er, counsel and christian work. 1t is
strictly undenominational, its object be-
ing simply to promote godllness, es-
pecially among young men.
The meeting on Tuesday evening of
last week, held in the lecture room of
the NJ. Il. church, was devoted to con-
slider the utility of tract distribution, and
take efficient steps for the purchase of
tracts. Rev. Mr.. Cook, the able pastor,
of the NJ. E. church, kindly consented
to be present and address the meeting
in his usual interesting and instructive
manner, showing the utility of tract dis
tribution, and the spirit and manner of
scattering them so as to do the most
good. Several dollars were cOnsecrated
to this purpose by the young men pres
ent, and they purpose scattering them
throughout the neighboring towns short
ly. The meeting on Tuesday evening
the 26th of May, will be held in the
Presbyterian church, at which several
of the pastors of town will be present
and address the meeting.
All young men are cordially invited to
attend. -

LIZZIE EDWARDS.


AhVtV 10 ~ oWCNb ISol III lltdNCH.
Miss Lizzie Edwards was born in Lu-
zerne county, on February "a, 1867, and
died of consumption, at Lansford, May 0,
1885, aged Is years, 2 month and 10
days. At the age of IA years she was
converted to God under the labors of
Rev. o. r. Cook, (of Lehighton), and
united with the NJ. E. church; father,
mother, three brothers, four sisters and
large circle of relatives and friends
mourn her early departure. Last Janu-
ary she performed her last service in the
Sunday school, and ever since then un-
til the time of her death she was under
medical treatment; but the best of medi-
cal aid and the most faithful nursing
could not avert the steady progress of
the fell disease, she was, however, re-
signed to her condition and in her quiet
spirit no murmuring or complaint ever
escaped her lips; she comforted her al
most heart broken parents with the
thought that they would meet again to
part no more. On Saturday evening,
May 9th, her spirit rose with the clouds
to the noon of glory and her sufferings
were over forever; her last words were :
'All is glorious, / am going home"
The funeral services were held in the
English Congregational church, Revs.
Edwards and Wisegarver officiating.
The funeral was largely attended. The
remains were inferred in the soldiers
beautiful cemetery to await the morning
of the resurrection. May the Lord COM
fort the bereaved. Al. W.

there is no good reason why the number
should not increase. Many housekeeper, if
giving her honest opinions, will admit that, as
matter of choice, she would prefer kitchen
work to the annoyance Of having an in
efficient servant in the house, but from false
pride, which she cannot herself justify, she re-
tains the incompetent and wasteful Biddv,
INJURIES her health and practices spurious
economy by shaving over the sewing machine,
while excellent seamstresses are to be had On
every corner. There is some drudgery con-
nected with housekeeping and kitchen work,
no doubt, but there is drudgery connected
with every form of labor. To do it as
it should be done would, perhaps, involve
decrease of leisure in which to make crazy
quilts and paint PLAQUES, but this need not
necessarily be considered calamity. There
would be time enough left for all necessary

The public schools of the great cities and of the
country districts as well, are proper subject
for American pride. The buildings are the
best in the world; they teach an organization
and methods without which our system of
government is impossible; they a,e the most
democratic of all American institutions. They
have the public ear and sympathy, and all
private schools and systems trim their sails
to them. But their great failure is still on
the moral and dispositional side; they are not
the happy places they should be. Too much
is required by the supervision, and the teach
ers are not able to accomplish it. The reaction
is on the children directly then back to the
teacher, and ultimately upon the system itself.

enemies, of which the most dreaded the lion and

practced eye has failed to distinguish the giraffe from
of the dead and blasted trees which abound in the
haunts of this animal Reliable evidence assures us
that lions have been known to gaze long and earnestly
at motionless giraffe, and, being unable to decide
that it was not tree, to turn and skulk away.
