The rise Of the Young Mems Christian
Association js one Of these previdsntial
movements which by their timeiness and
efficiency prove the continued presence Of
God with his church, adapting its meth
ods to the changed conditions OF human
society, guiding its thought aud directing
its energy 10 the healing and regeneration
OF the world. When God would develop
some new line OF action in the church, he
drops great thought into human heart,
he tDueGea that heart with inspiration
until it flames like the bush in Horeb,
burning but unconsumed and then sends
forth the new evaugel armed With the
familiar weapon or agency OF his own life,
an o. gVsd, shepherds crook, q sling, q
plan, prayer, v word, u song, feeble in.
strument though it sssm, yet clothed
anew with the thundero OF his power. Thus
he dropped the thought Of missions anew
iutS the heart OF William Carey, the
thought of Sunday sohools into the heart
OF Robert Haikes, the thought OF Gospel
Temperance into the heart Of American
womauhood, and thus he dropped the
thought OF these Associations into the
heart OF George Williams. the Moses Of the
movement.
The first Association vaS organized in
London in lSi4-il years ago. The Asso.

This is Dayid's message to Nabel. The
story ia familiar and NO need not here re.
call details. A glance at the features will
suffice. Day and night, the followers Of
David had been as q wall to the tlOcks
and herds Of Nabal, grazing in the fields
Of Carmel or upon the mountain slopes ot
Judah. And now "in good day" when
the servants oil Nabal, with merry hearts
and song, were gathering the fullness OF
the year, David sent messengers to receive
an offering from the prosperity which his
strong hand had assured. He was in
no seuae possessor, but had been pro-
tecsor OF the proper y, and in the uu.
written law OF the time had right there
that day-a right founded not in legal
enactment, but in equity. This right Ma
bal de clined to recognize. His contempt
uous answer, "Who is David?" echoes the
heresy Of Cain and bringa him to tho
verge Of ruin. For nothing wins retri-
button 80 sure, 30 swift, so pitilecs as con-
tempt linked with Injury. David was ad-
vancing with his band, desperate with
hunger and maddened by insult, to wreak
the lot yeDSGDCe upon the offender which
outraged labor sometimes brings upon
selfish and unjus. capital. The syllogism
OF violenc9 is the logic Of the oppressed,
and it leaps to conclusions in tire and
blood. The obligation OF justice which
the churlish Nabal would ignore. A big
all tho wise and beautiful was 41ick to
understand. By timely advent she pre-
vented violence and gave hospitality TO
David and good fortune.
Over and above this obligation OF jug
tics there was one Of love which should
have bound Nabal to David. II was not
the sCeptered Saul in the palace, but Qa-
vid, the refugee in the wilderness, who
carried tho destinies Of the holy people.
The hope OF Israel was not so much in
The locEs and herds OF wealthy Nsbals as
in the courage and loyalty OF DAVid's
band. Their cause was his aud his own
but he understood it not. Ma.

dor, "nothingin his life became hin like

What the Different Kind of Eyes Ind
cate-Their Character.
Black eyes are indicative of passion
ate ardor and love.
Hasty, irritable persons have fe-
quently eyes of brownish tint, inclino
to a greenish hue.
Green eyes, although their praiseslre
often sung in Spanish ballads, show o.
ceit and coquetry.
Very dark blue eyes. with something
of the tint of the violet, show grea
power of affection and purity of mind
but not much intellectually.
Brown eyes, when not of the vel
lowish tint, but pure russell brown, show
an aflectionate disposition; the darker
the brown the more ardent and passion
ate is the power of affection.
The brown eyes which do not appeaf

Scotch.
The blue eyes among the fare blondes
of the South-that is, in Itsly and Spain,
have among them eyes ih which are
some greenish tints; and, such eyes,
though often called light blue, have
none of the qualities of serenity and
constancy which belong TO the light blue
eyes of the North.
Although the purely green eye indi,
Gates deceit and coquetry, the propen-
sity to greenish tints in the eve is q sign
of wisdom and courage. Very choleric
persons, if they have blue eyes, have
also certain tints of green in them, and
when under the influence of anger a
sudden red light appears in them.
In England, where there are more
varieties of tints thar. in any other
country, the poets have almost always
gray eyes, A biograbher of Byron
speaks of his beautiful, changeful gray
eyes" Shakespeare also had, we are
told, gray eyes; Colerfdge, eyes of a

eyes of this color abound.

DRUNKEN BABIES.

How Incorporate Habits Are Formed in
acknowledgements and Pernicious
Practices of Parents and Nurses.
1t often happens that when child is.
normal and wholesome at its birth hab-
its of intemperance are induced in it by
its nurse. We all know that in adult
people of most healthful constitutions
the alcoholic habit, the opium habit,
the quinine habit, the tea and coffee
habit, the tobacco habit, may be in
duced, and easily induced. How much
more in the susceptible body of an in
FAINT 1t is so much easier to give q
boy few drops of paregoric or sooth-
ing syrup or a gin sling than to quiet
it by a warm bath, by friction, by
cup of catnip or smellage tea. The.
paregoric, the gin, the whisky, needs
no preparation and is always elective.
The baby goes off to sleep drunken
sleep-and the nurse can rest in peace.
External applications of alcohol are al
most as dangerous in the habits they
beget as internal The pores of the
SIX absorb the stimulus, and what diff
ference does it make in the end whether
the child depends for quiet on alcohol
imbibed through the skin or by the
mouth. A baby accustomed to be
rubbed with brandy or whisky will not
be quiet without it. 1t may be thought.
necessary in cases of extreme debility
resulting from sickness to give alcohol
ic stimulus or some form of opium to a
baby, but even then it should be done
under protest. Fresh air, nutritious
food, judicious and sk.llful nursing will
in innumeraDle cases do the work alco-
hol and opium are made to do without
inducing vicious habits.
A great many mothers are made to
believe that in order to nourish their in
fants sufficiently they must drink ale,
beer gin or some other form of malt or
spirituous liquor. We all know what
wretched milk cows give that are fed
| on grains that have been first used in
making beer We call it ''swili milk.
What other name is suitable for the
| nourishment beer-drinking mothers
give their infants? How is it possible
for baby reared on such food to have
normal stomach? Why should not
| craving for something more and other
| than wholesome food be induced and
cultivated in it by such course? The
baby that partakes of alcoholized milk
is made drunk and has its constitu-
tional vigor so impaired that sit has
not over three or four chances out of
ten for its life. There is an enormous
percentage of mortality among infants
nursed by persons who use alcoholic or
malt liquors. ~ T. Tribune.
