more Tor God and the race and her own

have got enough courage to voice aye or
no, but she raised her son John. who has
been preaching the gospel and translating

about forty years. Was not that better

OF men concerning rnelr wives, and let you
see the contrast. An aged man was asked
the reason of his salvation. With fearful
emotion he said: my wife was brought
to God some years before myself. perse-
cuted and abused her because of her re-
ligion. She, however, returned nothing
but kindness constantly, maintaining an
anxiety 70 promote my comfort and hap
piness, and it was her amiable conduct
when suffering Entertainment from me that
first sent the arrows of conviction to
my SOUL" The other testimony was from
a dying man: Harriet, am lost man;
you opposed our family worship and my
secret prayer; you drew me away into
temptation and to neglect every religious
duty. I believe my fate is sealed. Har-
riet, you are the cause of my everlasting
ruin" How many married couples in
heaven-Adam and Eve, Abraham and
Sarah, Lapidoth and Deborah, Zacharias
and Elizabeth, Joseph and Mary, and
many whom we have known as good as the
most of them.
As once you stood in the village or city
church or in your fathers house, perhaps
under a wedding bell of flowers, to-day
stand up, husband and wife, beneath the
cross of a pardoning Redeemer, while !
proclaim the bans of an eternal marriage.
Join your right hands, pronounce you
one forever. What God hath joined TO.
gether let neither life nor death nor tins
nor eternity put asunder. Witness men
and angels, allworlds, all agesl The circle
is an emblem Of eternity, and that Is the
shape Of the marriage ring.

The Permit System - Cleaning by
Workhouse Prisoners.
Superintendent OF Streets Burrows In his
annual report to Engineer Commissioner
Ludlow, as stated in yesterdays CRITIC,
makes an interesting statement Of the "per-
nit system" and the workbouse labor.
The "permit system" Of repairs to streets,
etc., is conducted under this Office, and has
become very popular among citizens and
people building houses. When there is no
regular appropriation under this system,
the city furnishes from the permit fund the
material and the enterprising citizens fur
nlsh the labor. Captain Burrows has
corps Of skilled laborers and he supern-
tends the work OF repair. The cost Of labor
to property owners was $50, 431 .39. The
cost to the District was S5S, 239. 80.
Gangs OF workhouse prisoners were en-
ployed under police surveillance, In clean
Ing cutters, alleys and Streets and In drain
ing ponds, filling dangerous holes, etc.,
for which no regular appropriation of money
was available. The employment OF this
labor was, as heretofore, on such work as
would have remained undone for want of
money to pay for doing it. Besides the
numerous holes, bitches, ponds, ETC.,
cleaned or drained there were cleaned gut
tiers, sidewalks, roadways, ETC., linear feet,
45l ,064; alleys, 15,l55,
In addition to this work larger gang,
with railroad track and dump cars, graded
the following streets, viz: Twelfth, be-
tween II and l northeast; b, between
Twelfth and Fourteenth northeast; Twelfth,
between A and b northeast; A, between
Eleventh and Fourteenth northeast; Fenton,
between First and North Capitol northeast
Pierce, between First and North Capitol
northwest, and Tennessee avenue, between
A and b northeast.
On these streets there were expended
1862 days work, under the direction OF
