ST.. LOUIS, Dec. 22.-About dusk
last evening a ring at the bell OF
1905 Olive street, the residence Of
J. L. Raymond, broker, brought
his wife to the door. She was con-
fronted by a heavily yelled woman
who wanted to know if Mr.. Ray
mond lived there. Receiving an
affirmative reply, she asked to see
him, and Mrs. Raymond called her
husband. The instant he arrived
at the door the woman drew a
horsewhlp from under her cloak,
and dashed him vigorously oyer the
face and shoulders, cutting him
severely. She then turned on her
heel and left. The woman proved
to be Marie Salan, a stenographer,
who claims that Raymond owes her
$500 for work, which she cannot
collect. She says that he also re-
presented himself to her as bache-
lor. There was no arrest.

We are pleased to announce the
appearance Of that very charming
comedienne, Alice Harrison sup
ported by a great company Of com
edians. In the latest and said to
be the greatest musical farce alb
surdity now before the laughing
public entitled Hot Water at the
Opera House Oh Tuesday Dec. 29th,
The organization is one Of really
true merit and should secure
liberal patronage. The St. Louis
Globe Democrat in speaking Of this
attraction says:
Hot Water bubbling farce Of
the order now happily in vogue. was
given, last night for the first time
in this city by Alice Harrison
and her company. The plot shows
the baps and mishaps of two
elderly Benedicks who, closely
watched by jealous wives, engage
help at an intelligence office: a cook,
a wet nurse, a professor, a boxing
master.

child has plenty Of candy to eat, II
will be kept out of considerable
genuine mischief.

The Love of God.

The devout Keble, in one of his de-
votional poems, asks what a mans
friends would do if heaven loaned them
its light to see the rude bad thoughts,
that in our bosom's night wander at
large, nor heed loves gentle thrall."
Answering his own question, he as
sumes that the sad disclosure would
cause ones friends to shun and leave
one friendless to " die unwept." He
then prays to the merciful One, whom
he addresses as " Thou who can'st love
us, tho thou read us true" In this
last line there is most comforting
thought to the believer, who is often
bafiled in his moments of prayer and
meditation by the hosts of =" rude bad
thoughts " which will persist in coming
up, like troops of unbidden ghosts,
from the hidden depths of his heart to
vex his soul. How he hates himself
because of their obstinate persistence!
And how often he is tempted to believe
that his Lord turns from him in holy
disgust. But not so. His Lord is very
pitiful, and, seeing the struggle of his
follower to drive away these rude
troubles of his soul, he loves him still.
BE of good cheer, therefore, O tortured
disciple! Think of the greatness of the
love that clings to thee despite those
vain thoughts; for no sooner shall thy
mind have fairly taken hold of his image
than all thy vain thoughts will have
vanished like morning mists before the
risen sun.-ZiOn's Herald.

The Mind of Christ.

"Let THIS mind be in you Chich ,cas in
Christ Jesus" philippians ii: 81 If God
indulge you with ecstasies and extra
ordinary revelations, be thankful for
them but be not exalted above measure
by them. Take care lest enthusiastic
decisions mix themselves with them,
and remember that your Christian per-
lection does not so much consist in
building a tabernacle upon Mount Ia
Dor, to rest and enjoy rare sights there,
as in absolutely taking up the cross and
following Christ to the palace of proud
Caiaphas, to the judgment hall of an
unjust PLATE, and to the top of an ig-
nominious Calvary. Ye never read in
your Bible, " Let that glory be upon
you which was also upon Stephen, when
he looked up steadfastly into heaven,
and said: Behold! l see the heavens
open, and the Son of man standing on
the right hand of Cod" But We have
frequently read there, " Let this mind
be in you which was also in Christ
Jesus, who made himself of no reputa-
ton, but took upon him the form of
servant, and, being found in fashion as
a man, humbled himself, and became
obedient unto death, even the death of
the cross. John Fletcher.

Servants of God.

Have you ever observed, both in the
Old Testament and in the New, the
dignity of the service of God is spoken
of as paramount to all the other digni-
ties of Gods people? Hast thou seen
my servant Job?" job, according to
Gods own account of him. was unparal-
leled upon the earth. There was not
another man like him upon the earth,
and the Lord could boast of him as
My servant, job" God spoke with
Moses face to face, but when God
would boast of Moses, he does not
speak of other privileges, but of this
" My servant, that is faithful in all my
house." The Apostle Paul puts his
being servant of God before his apos-
tleship. You never find him writing,
" Paul, an apostle and servant" but
Paul, a servant and an apostle of Jesus
Christ" You find the same in Peter
You never find him saying, "Peter,
an apostle and servant" but he also
says, " Peter, the servant of God and
of Jesus Christ, and an apostle. {"
When the great apostle speaks of
James, he calls him "the Lords
brother"; but when you find James
writing his epistle it is, James, the
servant of God and of Jesus Christ. :"
The beloved disciple lay upon the
bosom of God, but we do not find him
speaking of this as his primal privilege !;
it was, John, the servant of Jesus
Christ" The man after Gods own
heart had learned the lesson that /
wish we all would learn on this subject
to-day. Have you marked his pleading
with God? He does not plead his
earthly dignity, and say, Great God
l am king -; nor does he plead his
prophetic office, but he comes before
God as poor, needy man, and he
pleads thus: 81 am thy servant" If
you were to take a concordance, and
read the number of pleas that David
POUNDS upon this, it would interest YOU
" BE merciful unto thy servant" " Be
surety for thy servant" Glide not
thy face from thy servant" Go all
through, and you find he pleads the
service of the Lord, and that he was
engaged as the servant of the Lord
more than all other considerations
whatsoever. This also was Eliiah's
boast: "The Lord God Almighty"
he says, before whom stand" He
was great prophet, anu ne performed
mighty things, but he boasts not of his
office and not of his works; he boasts
of his service: 1.-THE Lord liveth be-
fore whom l stand" This was Ga
briefs dignity: 60 am Gabriel, that
stand in the presence of God" The
glory of the angelic host does not con-
sist in this, that they excel in strength,
that they stand upon the mount of
God, but that they do his command
ments, and that they hearken unto the
words of his mouth. There is no
higher dignity in heaven, no higher
privilege than to be the servant of God.
When we come to Revelation, we
read of a goodly multitude there,
clothed in white robes. There are
palms in their hands; they stand upon
sheet of glass; they harp with the
harps of gold; but what is the privilege
on which the Spirit of God lays empha-
sis? Not their robes, not their palms,
not their harps, but this" They serve
God, day and night, in his temple" y
Rer Marcus RdinStOrd.

Jesus Shining In.

A visitor went, one cold day last
spring, to see poor young girl, kept at
home by lame hip. The room was
on the north side of a bleak house. 1t
was not a pleasant prospect without,
nor was there much that was pleasant
or cheerful within. Poor girl, what a
cherries life she has of it, thought,
as / saw how she was situated; and 1
Immediately thought what pity it was
her room was on the north side of the
house. " You never have any SUM-" L
said; " not ray comes in at these win
dows. That / call a misfortune. Sun
shine is everything; | love the sun"
"Oh,' she answered, with the sweetest
smile | ever saw, "my sun pours in at
every window and even through the
cracks" l am sure looked surprised.
= The Sun of Righteousness she said,
softly" Jesus. He shines in here and
makes everything bright to me-" 1
could not doubt her. She looked hap

a day. Yes. Jesus shining in at the
window can make any spot beautiful
and any home happy.-American Mes

Lesson i'm a Hay-Field.

We were walking through the hay
field, the other day, on our way home.
A storm was coming, and it was evil
dent that those who had hay out were
to have it thoroughly wet. On our way
we crossed small bit of meadow land
owned by poor Irishman. He was
working alone and with all his might to
get his hay in cocks and so far save it,
although it was made and ready to haul
into the barn, which was not far dis
tant. He had no hope of getting it in,
for the reason that he had none to help
him at the critical moment. " Patrick"
we remarked, "you are likely to get
your hay badly wet in this storm; it's a
pity you could not get it in. There is
not much of it and it seems dry enough
to NOW away" eyes," he replied,
" its likely to get a wetting, but the One
that vets it will dry it again." and he
looked up toward the skies with a
cheerful face, which contrasted strongly
with the grumblings we had heard from
other sources by men who were far
better able to have their hay spoiled
than was our friend Patrick Well"
we replied, you do not seem to be

cheerfully" "No," he said, 81 don't
grumble; where is the use? And thin,
why should we grumble at the rain the
good Lord is sinding? Haven't we all
been complaining of the dry weather
and been grumbling because there was
no rain?" But your hay will get wet
you might at least grumble because the
storm did not hold off long enough for
you to get this last two or three
loads in" "Ah," was the reply,
there's more folks nor me with hay
out to-day, and it all could not be
got in; beside, where is the good
o. grumbling; we far rather be thank
full, for we have more good hay-days
nor bad ones; and am thinking that
if we were as mindful to be thankful
for all the good days we has, we would
not be so apt to be grumbling and a
finding fault with the wet days, saying
we do get little jag of hay wet" And
he worked away with all his might to
get the last dry hay in the cock. Just
then there seemed to be little halt in
the on-coming storm and we proposed
that he run quickly to his barn and get

at has been so common to begin an
article, in an elegant, interesting style,
"Then run it into some advertisement,
that we avoid all such,
And simply call attention to the merits
of Hop Bitters in as plain, honest terms as
possible,
To induce people
TO give them one trial, which so proves
their value that they will never use any
thing else"
THE REMEDY so favorably noticed in all
the papers,
Religious and secular, is
:" Having large sale, and is supplanting
all other medicines.

tues are so palpable to every ones obser-

his horse and wagon and we would help
him load on the hay. We might save at
least one load of It and perhaps more.
He thanked us gratefully, and started off
at full run, and was soon back with his
wagon, and we quickly loaded and
unloaded load after load until the last
of it was in the barn. SO Patrick got
his hay in. We were much impressed
with the simple yet profund philosophy
of this Irish Catholic neighbor of ours,
and thought it worth while to commend
it to our readers, that they might adopt
it for other emergencies than that of
haying in the face of storm,-Dr. G.

There are men in this very town who

smile as sweet and tenderly, How

and wound their own wives with their

own. And so it is with some wives;
they are all smiles and kind words in

The Poets Who Only Listen.

When evenings shadowy fingers fold
The flowers of every hue,
Some shy, half.opened bud will hold
Its drop of mornings dew.
Sweeter with every sunlit hour
The trembling sphere has grown,
Till all the fragrance Of the flower
Becomes at last its own.
We that have sung perchance may find
our little need of praise,
And round our pa1lid temples bind
The wreath of fading days.
All, poet who hast never spent
Thy breath In idle strains,
For thee the dewdrop morning lent
Stillin thy heart remains;
Unwasted, in its perfumed cell
1t waits the evening gale
Then to the azure whence It fell
Its lingering sweets exhale.

IT is related by DR.. Scudder that on
his return from his mission in India,
after long absence, he was standing
on the deck of a steamer, with his son,
a youth, when he heard gentleman
using loud and profane language. " See,
friend" said the doctor, accosting the
swearer, " this boy, my son, was born
and brought up in heather country,
and land of pagan idolatry; but in all
his life he never heard man blaspheme
his Maker until now" The man colored,
blurted out an apology, and looked not
a little ashamed of himself.
