Impertinent Beggars.

Senator Stanford's private secretary
tells me that three-fourths the letters he
receives are from beggars, and they
number from twenty-five to forty every
day. They come from all sorts of peo-
pie and from all parts of the world.
This week he received one from Egypt,
another from Calcutta, and two from
Ireland. He is asked to aid orphan
asylums, to subscribe toward the cree
ton of churches, to assist men and wo-
men paying morto ages on their farms,
to furnish capital for the development
of mines and the establishment of man.

A Move to Disbar Him.

In wlre-grass county in south Georgia
two lawyers had met often at a certain
justice court ground, and had communed
pleasantly together for a series of years.
They had their legal spars, but had pre-
served their feelings of mutual good
will.
One was an old lawyer who had been
''shelling the woods out in that sec
ton, as occasion required for over
twenty years. The other, equal in age.
but not so old in the service, had been
managing cases for 1.-THE boys for some
years, but really had never been ad-
mitted to the bar. His antagonist, the
old lawyer, had known this, but as he
was in the habit of gaining two out of
three of his cases, he never raised the
point. Thus matters moved smoothly
along. But the last time the legal COM
batants met the mischief was to pay.
The old lawyer shelled the woods with
his accustomed zeal and power, but the
Justice decided in favor of his antagonist.
This made no especial difference, as the
old stager would, of course, gain the
next case. The case was called. Both
parties exerted themselves, and the
justice again listened rather to the
astute suggestions of him who was
pleading without license. Two to moth
ing was not such result as to cultivate
the amiable propensities of the old prac-
titioner. But no absolute difficulty oe-
Cured. The third case was called.
The unlicensed lawyer won. This was
too much for human nature. The old
lawyer rose to point of order, and with
an air offended dignity, such as men,
Der of the Georgia Legislature assumes
when he rises to a question of privilege,
said: ''Mr. Justice, this thing is too
offensive for an old lawyer, who knows
the law, the whole law, and nothing
but the law, to stand. Sir, you know
me- tell you the law. But my friend
does not. He imposes on the court.
Therefore, sir, move he be disbarred
from practicing in this court" [Sensa-
ton. The old lawyer, who was upset
by his opponents good luck, related
this story with some degree of enthu-
siasm. But said the listener, why
| did you not move to disbar before you
| lost the cases?"
'Well," responded the old practition-
er, Il would have done that had /
known the fellow was going to beat me
out like he did. "-Albany (Ga.) Nea0s.

WHAT rs IN YOUR HOUSE.

When the long-buried city of Pom
peii began to be uncovered men were
introduced into the very scenes of Its
home and business life in the days of
its glory. The houses were opened
to view, and the pictures and utensils
and statuary and architecture and
hundreds of thing disclosed the char
acter and habits of the life of the peo-
pie. And the stranger now visiting the
unburied city and walking the streets
and going into the houses and shops
and forums and temples, and theaters
that were crowded with a busy, active
pleasure seeking population, can see
for himself just how they lived and
what was the nature of their pursuits.
And 1t is a deeply impressive lesson
to mediate upon how latter lying, for
eighteen centuries. in the grave, these
things have been disclosed to us and
especially how, among the freshest of
the things preserved, are numerous
evidences of the sensual and vicious
pleasuresi which the people INDUCED
The very works of art which minis
tered to their vices now rise from
their grave to testify against them.
What was done in their houses is now
brought to the light of day. Suppose
now that our home life could be put
into some permanent forms, and then
our houses should be buried by SIM
liar catastrophe, and at the end
of eighteen centuries be brought to
light, what would they disclose to
the curious Investigator of that day ?
If, at the great judgment, when the
world has risen from the grave, there
shall be revelation of all secrets
and an exact picture of our homes as
they are at present, what shall they
see as they gaze upon it? What does
God see there now? Let it be remem-
bered that every member of family
has an influence on the home, life and
therefore responsibility for the char
acter of the family. Our homes are
what you and l make them. parent
and children, husband and wife, broth
ers and sisters, master and servant,
mistress and maid-each and all make
up the family. Each bears part
in the daily influences which 60 to
make the home. Let 1t be repeated :
Our homes are what we make them.
And we are what our hearts are. And
so it comes to this: What does God
see in our hearts? Is the spirit of
of Jesus there?

The human soul, like a tree, is
subject to law of growth, and its
worth is determined by its fruitful
ness: but the soul is unlike a tree in
its life, that is to say, its spiritual
life is not in itself but in another,
even in the Son of God. Jesus, who
knew what was in man, said, "Ex-
cept We eat the flesh of the Son of
Man and drink His blood, We have
no life in you. Whose eateth My
flesh and drinketh My blood, hath
eternal life" Hence ones spiritual
life is not innate, but derived from
Christ through faith in his blood.
Therefore he that would know the
blessedness of spiritual life, must
live by constant faith in the Son OF
God.

Unnumbered believers in Christ
have died thanking God for the grace
by which they had been enabled to
spend their lives in His service. But
has one wicked man ever been known
to rejoice, when dying, that he had
spent his life in doing wickedness
Bad men do often die in a state of
moral stupor, as free from remorse
as beasts who have no moral sense,
but, if sane, they never rejoice in
their last moments because they are
Gods enemies. Why, then, will
men put acts into their lives which
will make it hard to die?

a contributation to that deafness
which he so loudly denounces? And
if he were thoroughly alive, jealous
ly devout, a burning and shining
light, would not his church be less
corpse-like than it is? Possibly his
light kept brightly burning might
kindle blaze throughout the church.
Is 1t not better, therefore, to be an
examplar than denouncer, soul
aflame with brotherly love than a cold
cynic breathing censules which
wound, and irrlatate, and kill, but
never heal and make alive?
To live without Christ in the heart.
is TO resemble mole which burrows
in darkness under ground with no
higher aim than to feed on the earth
worms that also live in dust and gloom.
Does not a Christless man also choose
darkness rather than light? Does he
MOI limit the aims of his life to the
satisfying of his animal nature? Does
he not, by burrowing amid the earth
ly, so weaken the perceptions of his
spiritual nature as to be purblind as
the mole to the spiritual world and
its claims? And with respect to his
destiny in the hereafter, does he not
live as aimlessly as the mole, which
has no hereafter? O blind human
mole, what will become of thee when,
stripped of thy body, thou shalt stand
in the eternal world without God,
without hope, and burdened with the
awful consciousness of having reject
ed Christ?

TRUST AND WORK.

Do your work, but do it in quiet
ness and confidence do your duty,
but do it without this corroding anXi-
ETY.; and he who even in the desert
spreads his table for the birds; he
who clothes the flowers in the en-
brolderies of beauty will feed and |
clothe you. That trust which uncon-
sciously Gods humber creatures
show, that do We show rehectingly |
and consciously. Trust in God for
these lower things, because he gives,
and will give, and has given, to you,
higher things than these. Do not
degrade and drag down your life in
the mire by the spirit of mean, selfish,
grudging, untrustful accumulation.
If you seek first the kingdom of God,
all these other things, or things tran
scendently better than these, shall be
added unto you. There is nothing
wrong in your trade and your mer-
chandise, and your daily work to earn
your own living that is altogether
right; so far from being a rival bus
mess to these, the seeking of the
kingdom of heaven is a divine law
which should regulate, divine tenn
per which should pervade and trans
figure them. Only, for the sake of
your own souls, for the sake of all
that makes life worth living, for the
sake alike of your temporal and eter-
nal happiness, do not seek the dross
of earth more, and love it better,
than the gold of heaven. Let con-
science and faith enter into every
necessary act of your daily life.
Learn to discriminate the transcen-
dent. Learn to feel habitually that
the life, the true life, the spiritual
life, is more than food, and the body
than raiment. Let justice, goodness,
purity, be your aim, not the selfish
scramble of scheming competition,
not the brutal appetencies of sensu-
al desire. Do not let your daily ne
cessitles blunt the edge of your ideal
aspirations, do not sink into grovell-
Ing appetites or money-making ma
chimes. Man lives, indeed, by bread
but he does not live by bread alone.
