al live," said a gentleman lately, din
town near New York, and go to my bust
ness there and return on the same line of
railway. The train in the morning and
afternoon is filed with girls from ten to
eighteen years on their way to and from
schools in the city. They usually belong to
families Of the educated, influential class
and at home are carefully guarded from
vulgar or vicious companions. They are
not 50 guarded on the cars, and the result Is
soon apparent.
For example. l remember, about five
years ago, that blushing little girl of
10 was put one morning on the train by her
father; her books were in an embroidered
bag, and her ticket ready in her portemon-
naie. 1t was evidently the first time she
had made the journey alone She sat tim
idly in one corner, her color coming aud
going when the conductor spoke to her She
was picture OF innocence and modesty.
After that she came down every day on
the same train. In q day or two, noticed
that she was listenin5 to the chatter Of the
other school girls, at first with a mixture of
disgust and amszement on her shy face.
Presently, as she became used to It, the dis
gust wore of, and she listened smiling, to
their absurd gossip and jokes
IN week or two the conductor and
brakeman recognized her as familiar fig
ure, and tipped their hats to her as she
stepped on board. A little later they ex-
changed good morning and remarks about
the weather. She apparently felt that civ
ility required some answer When, as
weeks passed, the conductor, a young, vul-
gar fellow stopped beside her seat to ask
what was her school, and to make remarks
on her text books, the girl, though fright
ened and annoyed did not know how to dis
miss him
Before the summer was over she had
lost much of her shyness aud helplessness
She came alone to the train, jumped on
board, and marched into the car like the
others with an air Of perfect sang froid The
girl was not to blame. L. was the natural
effect Of her daily journeys without protec-
ton. But the dewy bloom was fast going
from the peach,
I'm a year that gill entered the car as II
it belonged to her, laughing apd joking
loudly with the other girls and the train
hands She hal lost all interest for me,
and | ceased to notice her. One day, how
ever, about a year atterward, the morning
papers contained the account OF the elops-
ment Of the daughter of Judge Blank with
man who turned out to be a professional
gambler. Their acquaintance, it was
stated, began on the cars
1T was the shy little girl She might
yet be shy and innocent and happy, if her
mother had not sub ected her to the risks OF
that unprotected journey. No education
can atone for the pri paid for it in such
exposure. Wy Outh 5 Companion.

The Proper Hour For Dinner.

The proper hour for dinner is still matter
for discussion outside the city of New ork
There, we think it may be said it is as set
tied as it is in London. The orderly process.
sion of daily events is arranged with view
to I or $50 O'Clock dinner. Business
closes in time for a walk or a drive before
that graceful hour. The theaters oIHn at
$3.50. Lectures begin and engagements are
made with view to the ceremony of the
day. The busy man closes his front door
on the exacting world, with its cares and
worries, and sits down hundry, as prop.
erly constituted person ought, to his dinner.
He takes his important meal when he has
time to eat it, slowly, and with a proper
regard for the welfare of his digestive ap-
paratus He has the evening and the mig hit
before him. He can smoke his cigar, and
he can unbend his mind in familiar and
pleasant talk, or he can read good novels
and can go to bed with that cheerful self
contentment which Is an essential pre-
requisite to sound Sleep This is the theory
and although late dinners do not always do
the good which they might, We think that,
on the whole, they are conductive to happi-
ness and long life.
There are too many OF our business men
who dine in the middle of the day. They
have old fashioned habits and old fashioned
dyspepsia. They are holding on to Gus
toms which were more sensible forty years
ago They do not do business az their
fathers and grandfathers did, when the
merchant reached his counting room at Z
O'Clock in the morning and was through
the heaviest part Of his days task by noon
The merchant of to-day gets down town at
about 10 O'Clock and is busy until 3 or 4
O'Clock in the afternoon. This mid day
dinner is eaten on jump, and the direful
result is inevitable. 1t is always better to
dine late, but it is absolutely necessary for
the merchant, if he is to retain his health,
to eat his heartiest meal at a time which
brings him repose and contentment-

How Boys Are Spoiled.
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
AS rule, the cause Of the vicious
or destructive habits of boys whose
parents are in comfortable or affluent
circumstances, is fundamental one.
The primary and painfully fruitful
error is the common teaching in such
families, either by precept or exam
pie, or both, that industry is discred-
table. Boys are not trained or taught
the necessity of usefulness; they are
trained and taught only to enjoy the
luxury of idleness, and vice comes as
naturally as the night succeeds the
day. Such boys, if they happen to
worry through cigarettes and other
enervating indulgence, to manhood,
are ever distanced in the race for
honor and usefulness by the alley
boys or the mountain boys, whose
physical vigor is not destroyed by
luxury and indulgence. They are
taught, not only in theory but in
practice, that hardness ever of hard
ness is mother" and they bring the
highest physical vigor to the devel'
opment of their mental powers. They
forge to the front while the city
cigarette boy must be supported by
his friends or lag in the rear of the
race for a livelihood if dependent
upon his own efforts.

The Backslider.

TO the Standard.
Thetrue Christian, wherever found,
has deep sympathy for the back
slider, and yearns in spirit for his re-
turn. The great Spurgeon, strong in
Christian graces, mighty in spirit,
always feared that his love for God
might wane, and that in some I'M
garded hour he might be imprisoned
by Satan and turned from the Joy of
his salvation. He felt himself to be
but one in the fold of the Good Shep-
herd, and that, like the silly sheep,
he was liable at all times to wander
in forbidden pastures. His heart,
warm with Christian zeal, was ablaze
with kindly sympathy for fallen
brother. TO the backslider what shall
we say? That we will forgive you if
you confess your fault seven times :?
Yea, says the Master, seventy times
seven. Is there a Christian, is there
church, unwilling to heed this coun-
sci? Nay, there is none. If the
creature, weak men and women, are
thus filed with such fOrgiving love,
what shall we say of the unspeakable
love of Christ who died for us? How
many more times will he forgive the
contrite, erring disciple? His mercy
when weighed in the balance, in con-
trast with the best and purest of
mortals, is as the ocean to the bab-
bling spring of the valley, as a marble
to all the rolling worlds. Yes, back
slider, however humbling to human
pride, however it may tinge your
cheek with shame, however small it
may make you in the eye of heartless
critics, it is better that you should re-
consecrate yourself to Jesus ten thou
sand times ten thousand,land famed,
bruised and battered, make your way
to heaven on crutches than to sink to
hopeless hell with those who sit in
the seat of the scorner.
But lest this view should encourage
sin, let all remember that golden
thought, that, "The highest effect of
grace is to keepus unspotted !; but the
next is to lead us to quick, deep re-
pentance, when we have contracted a
stain F" There is no Christian who
should not stand on one or the other
of these plains. PRAYER, earnest and
yelling from the innur chambers OF
the heart, will keep the soul in one Of
the states or the other. Let us strive
for the highest, and be not content
with portion lower than second.
ERNEST E. DUPREE.
