I" We Are Twins"

General Sheridan has four little ehil-
dren, who are his constant companions.
In Washington not long ago two of the
children were walking along with their
father. while the two other little sheri-
dams trotted along just behind him. A
gentleman stopped the little girls Of the
rear guard, and asked: Are You all
Gen. Sheridan's chiidren?" "Oh, no, >
exclaimed one of the girls demurely.

PugiliSln.

That the Prince of Wales should re-
turn to his former evil associations,
and descend from the royal pedestal
to again become the patron of pug
lists, and blackguards, must be acause
of deep regret to his best friends and
supporters, especially to those who
believed His Royal Highness" had
sown all his wild oats and become a
reformed character. Parliment enacts
that pugilism is brutalizing and must
be suppressed by the strong arm of
the law. The Prince of Wales con-
siders it ennobling, and shakes by the
hand men whose avowed object is to
break, or evade the law. In America
no decent citizen would be seen with
Sullivan, who is said to be low
ruffian and yet this is the man whose
society is courted by the future king of
these realms, and by some half-dozen
coarse-natured beings yclept Peers.
The press is, however, bigger sinner
than the Prince. The press heralds
the coming of the pugilists, announces
their arrival, and chronicles their
doings; but for the publicity which
the press affords them, the world
would never know anything about
them. Day by day newspaper col
umns are filled with details concern
ing their movements; the public first
become curious, then interested, and
at last excited. The same amount of
advertising would make popular or
notorious anything or anybody. Sey-
eral journals have professed to lament
the revival of pugilism. Now it is bad
enough to create all evil, but having
done so, to pretend to deplore its ex.
istence is rank hypocrisy. The curse
of modern journalism is an inordi-
nate desire to he sensational.-IHe

Homes Without God.

One alarming evil of the nineteeth
century is the number of irreligious
homes found in every community.
Not homes without culture, refine
ment and elegance; not homes want.
ing in social and worldly enjoyment
but irreligious homes-homes in which
practically there is no prayer, no God,
no Bible reading, no worship. Prac'
tically" God is as much excluded from
many homes as He is from the marts
of trade or the ballroom. Alas for
such homes! the father unsaved, bear
ing no testimony for Christ, placing
before the children no Christian exam
pie. Sometimes both parents are un-
covered and as different to the Gospel
or to word like this as the most BIAS
phemous infidel. Oh, what a calamity
is this! If parents are irreligious, and
can dispense with God and His Church,
how are we to expect better of the
children Cody homes have done
more for the Gospel throughout the
world than any other single agency.
IF this be true, who can speak the
dreadful influence and results OF ire
ligious homes, many of them excellent
in many things, but wholly un-Chris-
tian? God have mercy OH such.-Om'

Against Dark Stables.

In condemning dark, dungeon-ltke
stables, recent writer declares that
many horse suffers from imperfect
eye-sight in consequence of being kept
in such quarters. Then, again, light
is essential to health, he continues.
You cannot dwell in house or apart
ment where the sunlight never strikes
and the full daylight never comes,
without becoming depressed, gloomy,
sour, and sick. This fact is beginning
to be recognized by many intelligent
persons. The same effect in kind, If
not in degree, is produced on the horse
or other animal that constantly stands
in the cold twilight of never.sun-
lighted stable. You must have light
as we'll as air and food or you cannot
enjoy perfect health. Neither can

I went in and sat down. AS | was
musing on what to say looked around
At the head of the coffin sat the faith
er, feeble in health, stunned, broken
hearted. Ranged in row at the side
were five childrcn-thc oldest, girl
fourteen years old. There were only
three or four in the room beside the
family.
When finished, as they were carry
ing the coffin to the door, one of the
little children cried out, "Where are
you taking my mother in that ugly
boX?"
o, it was pitiful
The next day / called and saw the
oldest girl. I said, "You will have to
be mother to your little brothers and
sisters, and comfort to your poor faith
err
She answered: "Mother told me
she was going to heaven and she
would not forget me, and God would
help me, and I must take care of the
children, and 1 am going to do it."
1 looked at her with amazement.
She was small and childike in appear
ance, but something in her tone awed
me. It seemed as if woman, amoth-
er, indeed, were speaking.
For two years I saw the family.
The house was kept in beautiful order.
The children were always at Sabbath
school, and always well-dressed, and
always knew their lessons. Then I
left that part of the country and have
never heard from them since.
But down in every girls heart and
mind is the power to do great things
if she means to do them.
God always helps good intentions.
May none of my young readers have
such burden placed upon their young
shoulders
If they should, may they have the
Everlasting Arms to help them bear
it!

A Reconciliation.

A pleasing instance of successful
effort to restore peace is related in the
life of the Rev. John Owen. The Rev.
Charles Simeon and the Rev. Robert
Hall were offended with each other,
and in their anger declined intercourse.
After several friends had tried to re-
store peace and failed, Mr.. Owen wrote
the following lines on two cards, and
then left one at the house of each OF
the two foes:
"How rare that task prosperous issue finds
Which seeks TO reconcile discordant minds!
How many s1ruples rise to PASSIONS touch
This yields too little, and that asks too much
Each wishes each with other eyes to see;
And many sinners can't make two agree;
What mediation then the Savior show
ed who singly reconciled us all to God
The first man who read the lines was
so strongly impressed by them that he
hastened from his house to call upon
his offended friend. The friend had
also read the lines, and being affected
by them, had done the same; and the
offended persons met each other in the
street. A reconciliation instantly took
place-reconciliation which, it is be-
lIeved, was never interrupted nor re-
GREETED by either of those useful and
highly esteemed men, Western Chris
