grace, Of mercy, and Of love-, Adam

for he was the tEausgEessor, lie had
fallen, and he ought 70 have gone up and
down Eden crying, "My God my God!

TO grope through the dark world for the
rebel who had isllen-not to hufs BIN
from the face OF the earth, but TO plan
him an escape from the misery Of his sin.
And He finds him-whersP Hiding from
his Creator among the bushes Of the gar
den,
ION with God, even the prolsssed child OF
God, he wants tn hide away nom Him.
When God left Adam In the garden, he
was in communion with his Creator, and
God talked with him; but now that no
has fallen, he has no desire to see his
Creator, he has lost communion with his
God. lie cannot bear to see Him, even TO

A number Of years ago, before any rail

was 0 father who had . largo farm opl
there, and whoused to preach the gcspel

when church business engaged him, he
sent his son to Chicago with grain. lie

but no did not come home. At last he

Middle Seats in a Car Preferred.

A very common theme of conversation
among travellers is the question of
whether or not car rides easier in the
middle than above the trucks. One OF
our railroad contemporaries some time
ago published an article on the subject,
and took the ground that there could be
no difference unless the sills and franz
ing Of a car yielded like the blackboard
of wagon. There is certainly no yield
ing to car sills and framing; yet every
old traveller avoids the seats, and espec-
tally the sleeping berths, above the
trucks, and old travellers generally know
what they are doing. If the party who
insisted that there could be no difference
in the motion in different parts of the
same car had ever crossed the stormy
ocean in moderately long steamer, he
might have received some enlighten-
ment, especially if sea-sickness urged
him to find the point of least motion. II
is well known that there is less motion
amidships than there is at the stem or
stern, and less motion at the bottom of
the vessel than there is on deck. A car
acts in similar way. Anything defec-
tive about the track jerks the wheels,
which transmit the irregular motion to
the truck, and that in turn to the body of
the coach. h.-RailwA World.

How Burmese Football Is Played.

If any American youth has grown
tired OF all our popular sports he might
undertake the introduction of a game
which would certainty be novel in this
country, though it is a very ancient
paStime. II is Burmese football. The
ball, about six inches in diameter, is of
woven wicker, light and elastic. The
number who may join in the game is
not limited. The point is to keep the
ball to the air as long as possible by
striking it with the foot or the knee,
without touching it with the hands or
letting it fall to the ground. A player
controls the ball as long as possible,
when either by an unskillful stroke or tr
prevent it from falling to the ground. he
sends ii to a neighbor, who juggles it as
long as possible. The game develops as
tonishing skill on the part of the play
ers, and travellers say it is an attractiv
pastime. If adopted by the American
youth, the Burmese costume might hav

Life Of a Canary Bird.

There is no definite age to which can
aries live. have one over twenty years
old. 1t is exceptional for them to live
DO long. They usually die under five
years, and the majority are killed by
carelessness. Dyspepsia from improper
food is the main cause. The natura
fool is the seed that comes from tn.
native grass on the Canary Islands,
mixed with rape, or hemp seed at times.
The birds relish piece Of lettuce, and it
seems TO agree with them. All other
green stuff and every other kind Of food
should be prohibited. My bird hospital
Is kept filled with birds sent TO me 10 be
cured Of indigestion induced by cake,
meat and other unnatural bird food.
They are 80 delicate that il is hard to
cure them when sick, but a careful use
of homeopathic remedies gives good re-
suits. Birds do not take cold as easily as
b thought, but after their digestion is
ruined they become weak and prey to
svery malady.-N. Y. Tribune.

THE LOT OF THOUSANDS.

When hope lies dead within the heart,
BY secret sorrow long concealed,
We shrink lest looks or words impart
What should not be revealed.
IT'S hard to smile when one would weep
To speak when one would silent be,
To wake when one would wish to sleep,
And wake to agony.
Yet such the lot TO thousands cast,
Who wander in this world of care,
And bend beneath its bitter blasts
To save them from despair.
Yet nature waits her guests to greet,
Where diSappointments can not come;
And time leads, with unerring feet,
The weary wanderer home.

A COMPARISON.

Compared with other leading men and
statesmen of Texas, Judge Terrell, now
the foremost candidate for the high Office
of United States senator, not only suffers
none, but he gains in his acknowledged
intellect, no less than the profound ex-
perience and requirements that have
aided in making him what he is. Gen.
Maxey is good man, but is more cele-
brated for lis avoidance of errors than
the accomplishment of valuable achieve
ments for the state he represents at
Washington. Gov. Coke Is a sound, safe
and solid representative, whose ability
only equals his devotion to Texas and
its people. But neither Coke nor Maxey
surpass, and scarcely equal, Judge Terrell
in those intellectual abilities so necessary
TO th5 high position which each now fills
and which will, in all probability, yet be
filled by Alexander W. Terrell-a mar
who would stand comparison with any
mar now in the senate of the United
States. Nor will Judge Terrell suffer
when his platform-his position on the
great leading questions of the days
compared with the views of other leading
public men of the country, or of his owl
party. His position regarding monopoly
as well as the labor question, is the strong
est that could be assumed before the PEG
pie. Stronger, more clear-cut, bold anC

A PECULIAR POSITION.

The state of affairs existing in congress
in regard to the tariff revise is rather
anomalous, taking all the details into con.
sideration. The democratic representa-,
tiyes in the house from the overwhelming
ly republican states, Pennsylvania and
Ohio, are the obstacles in the way of a
| tariff revise under democratic rules. 1t
is singular fact that congressman rep
resenting a republican constituency are
allowed to shape the policy of the demo
cratic majority in the house by working
with their political opponents. II is in
deed peculiar that these men should be
permitted to caucus with the democrats
when, really, every stand they take is OPP
posed to the democratic policy since the
foundation of that party.
or refuses TO run for congress, again his
constituents will return a republican by a
large majority, Why, then, do they still
continue to keep man who does not rep
resent them politically, in office? The
reason is simple enough-by this stroke
of policy they retain in Office an able man
who is recognized as democrat and who
caucuses with democrats, but who at heart
in everything that pertains to politics,
possesses interests which aligns him with
the republican party. No one can charge
Mr.. Randall with being a traitor, but that
no is a democrat is not because of his
voicing the sentiments of that party, but
that it is a prejudice with him to be such
If he were asked to-day why he calls him
self democrat, he would be surprised
when he found out that he could not tell
the reason. Perhaps his friends are in
the party of his adoption, or, perhaps, he
thinks that that party is more honest, but
when he inquiries into his policy and com
pares it with the policy of the two ma
tional parties, he will be astonished to see
how nearly it fits that of the republican
party. The line of demarcation is not
very sharply defined between the two par
ties, and there is great deal of common
ground on which man can stand without
much damage to his conscience. This
common ground does very well for ordi-
nary voters, but the line should be drawn
at those who wish to hold office and are
elected for their political proclivities.
Mr.. Randall does not stand alone i'll his
anomalous position, there are great
many in every community just like him
men who are democrats because their
fathers have been before them, and who
have changed their views without deeming
it necessary to change their party. These
men come under class sometimes heard
of, called state democrats, but national
republicans Let these representatives
of republican districts stay in the demo-
cratic party if they desire, but let them
refrain from voting in caucus on questions
which bind the party to position con-
trary to its established policy.
