1.-THE Rink reporter of the Point
Pleasant Register is an ox-eyed dai-
sy, a whole boquet and a silver hold
er. He mentions one young lad,
who fitted around the room like a
light-winged dove on some heavenly
mission; another who skates as
smoothly as the swan glides DER the
passive waters; then there was one
who glided around the room like a
sunbeam playing on the crest of a
sparkling wave one active maid with
exquisite grace, flashed through
space like bright meteor through
the vaults of heaven; and frighten-
ed Miss sped around as swift as a
startled fawn in search of the far-ot1
gardens of Paradise. We leave for
Point Pleasant as soon as we get our
washing and pair of roller skates.

Mr.. Peters finished shaving the
man, who did not even turn his eyes
towards Sam, and then powdered his
face and combed his hair Sam sat

frown, and so doubtless did the second hero.
More especially as the "Discourager Of Hest
fancy" stood at his elbow with keen sword.
Under such circumstances no man Of sense
would waste time in Analysing frowns; he Ger.
tainly plunged headiong at the lady who
smiled, and was happy ever after. Either way,
Frank Stockton is the most artistic dealer with
the unexpected now known to American story
readers.
The woman who drives isn't circumstance to
the woman who sprinkes 1t is painful to be
forced to reflect upon the ways of my sex, but
candor compels the statement that the average
woman acts without rhyme or reason when let
loose with the eardenho She first 6ashes tho
water wildly all over the yard and walks so she
won't have dry spot to stand on, and then she
begins the street She gets to thinking
of something, and turns the stream full into
street-car; while she is wondering what on earth
the folks in the car must think of her, she for.
gets to turn the hose down and almost foods a
passing milk-wagon. in despair she hastily
directs the nozzle toward the pavement, just in
time to douse another woman in spick and span
clean white dress. Apologies are nowhere
in the thirst for gore which spreads over
the other womans countenance as
she gets out of the way, fearful of worse to
follow Finally, the woman who sprinkles
grasps the idea that the street was what she
intended to sprinkle, and thereafter all goes
we'll When she adjourus after an hours tussle
with herself the hose, the street, and people, she
has hardly dry thread on her. If she is con-
sstent sample of her SEX she goes to the look
IL. it,
says: Gracious goodness! Look at my hairi
Look at my dress How on earth did I get so
wetl" And the very next time she has chance
she goes and does the very same thing over
again. O. woman, woman Things don't have
chance to stagnate while you're around.

MIR. LOWELL ON RELIGION.

There is nothing new to readers of Mr.
out in a recent after-dinner speech He says:
''The worst kind of religion is no religion
at all; and these men, living in ease and
luxury, indulging themse elves in the amuse-
ment of going without religion may be
thankful that they live i'll lands where the
gospel they neglect has tanned the beastliness
and ferocity of the men who, but for
Christianity, might long ago have eaten their
carcasses like South sea islanders, or cut off
their heads and tanned their hides like the
monsters Of the French Revolution. When
the microscopic search of skepticism, which
had hunted the heavens and sounded the seas
to disprove the existence of Creator, has
turned its attention to human society, and
has found place on this planet ten miles
square where decent man can live in de-
cency, comfort and security, supporting and
educating his children, unspoiled and unpol-
luted; a place where age is reverenced in
fancy respected, manhood respected, woman
hood honored and human life held in due
regard; when skeptics can find such place
ten miles square on this globe, where the
gospel Of Christ has not gone and cleared the
way and laid the foundations and made de-
cency and security possible, it will then be
in order for the skeptical Gterati to move
thither and then ventilate their views. But
so long as these very men are dependent upon
the religion which they discard for every
privilege which they enjoy, they may we'll
hesitate little before they seek to rob the
Christian of his hope and humanity of its
faith in that Savior who alone has given to
man that hope of life eternal which makes
life tolerable and society possible, and robs
death of its terrors and the grave of its
gloom"
What is here expressed in an apparently
easy after-dinner speech is the outcome of a
life-t time of earnest conviction on the part of
its author and is the ruling sentiment of the
poets Cathedral" published in 1862 This
poem ranks as the highest of Mr.. Lowells
poetical productions. AS in Tennyson's 'In
Memorian," the personal feeling and senti-
ment of the author is infused throughout the
Cathedral" although the two poems are en-
tirely dissimilar in conception and treatment
The "In Memoriam" is the sublimest tribute
of English verse to the memory of departed
friend--in this instance Arthur Henry Hal

arabic from religious nature. For that tits that

arabic from religious nature. For that It's that
binds men together; it is the etymology the
inherent, the present and eternal meaning Of
the word-union, mutual helpfulness, con-
tinuity of existence; life a commencement
responsibility coeval with consciousness. This
thought and feeling seems born with some
men. It has dominated their lives even
where they have joined no church, subscribed
to no Scripture, observed no form, but whose
sanctity and self-sacrifce were about them
through life as a garment and, after their
death, surrounds their memory as a halo
which no sun and no time or space can dim or
extinpuish.
