Young Men in Public Life.

lt is no easy matter, if indeed, it is
possible. to fix the time at which it is
proper for man to enter upon public
life, supposing that he can enter upon it at
all. The question is quite prominent just
now. Pitt was very young man-but
little past 20-when he took the reins
of the British government into his mex.
perienced hands. Burke was &c when he
entered parliament. though he had pre-
viously been attache of "Single Speech u
Hamilton, secretary of Lord Halifax in
Ireland, and afterward private secretary
of Lord Rockingham while the latters
one year ministry lasted. And SO a
crowd of less notable illustrations might
be cited.
But no average of circumstances will
suffice to establish rule in the case. 1t
must ever be matter of perpei ual chance
and discovery. One man does his best
work in a very short sime and early in
life. when another does not Iarly come
to it till he is at middle lie and even
Later. And what young man is speci
ally good for, and for that l., ason sprci
ally inclined to, an older one would IA
gard as wholly out OF the reach of his
desires. The fully matured public man
is IA different being from the beginner
And if he has husbanded his powers he
generally possesses as good a stock of
the energy of youth rs any situation i'll
which he is placed may require.

THE THANKLGSs BEGGAR.

An interesting anecdote is related by
the ~ ugend Freunde" of King Alphonso
y, surnamed The WISE" who succeed
ed to the throne of Leon and Castillo in
lected to ask the divine blessing before
partaking Of their daily meals, he was
deeply grieved and sought diligently to
point out to them the evil of this omis-
sion. At length he succeeded in finding
aplan. He invited the pages of his court
to dine with him. A bouutilul repast
was spread. and when they were all as.
sembled around the table the king gave
a signal that all was in readiness for
them to begin. They all enjoyed the
rich feast, but not one remembered to ask
Gods blessing on his food.
Just then, unexpectedly to the thought
less guests, entered poor, ragged beggar
who unceremoniously seated himself at
the royal table, and ate and drank undis.
turbed, to his hearts content. Sur

every countenance.
The pages looked first at the king,
then gazed upon the audacious intruder,
expecting momentarily that his majesty
would give orders to have HIM removed
from the table. Alphonso, however, kept
silence; while the beggar, unabashed by
the presence of royalty. ate all he de
sired. When his hunger and thirst were
appeased he rose and without word OF
thanks departed from the palace.
What despicable, mean fellow"'
cried the boys. Calmly the good king
rose, and, with much eaInestness, said
"Boys, holder and more audacious than
this beggar have you all been. Every
day you sit down to a table supplied by
the bounty of your heavenly father. yet
you ask not his blessing. and leave il
without expressing to him your gratitude
Yes, each and all of you should be heart
lily ashamed of your conduct, which was
far worse than was the poor beggar's. y

Prison Reform.

Side by side with the questions of di.
vorce and intemperance, in their practical
relation to the clergy of the country, is
that of prison reform, not merely theo-
retical and legislative, but practical; such
as lies within the reach of every Christian
minister. We shall be very glad if our
readers will send us as full answers as
possible to the following questions:
l. What prisons and poor-houses are
there in your immediate vicinity, and
what is the average number of inmates
2. What is the condition of the
buildings? Are they we'll kept, clean,
and healthy? How much space is allowed
each individual
8 What efforts are being made to reach
the inmates with the gospel? Are there
Sunday and weekday services, and what
proportion of the inmates attend those
services q?
f. What results of Christian work
among the inmates are seen in the adop-
tion of Christian life, during and after
confinement? What proportion, so far
as can be ascertained lead a reformed
life after serving the term of sentence2
The recent disclosures by DR.. E M.
Hunt In regard to some of the prisons in
New Jersey reveal a condition of things
that would be supposed impossible in
Christian America To confne eighty
FIVE men in twelve rooms, each seven feet
by nine, thus giving to each man scarce

are herded together in this way Yet
each one of them has a soul, soul for
which Christ died, and for which the
Master will hold his disciples, at least in
degree, responsible. Brother pastor,
do you know about the prison, or the
poor house in your own vicinity? Are
you doing all in your power that those
who have broken the laws of men as we'll
as of God may know of the pardon for
all, and the hope for each, however de.
graded, of attaining to the glory of the
Saviours image?

possession Of our city, endeavor by threats
of punishment to stihe the very voices OF
those whose duty it is to proclaim the
laws of the Church and because you
have made this defence with prudence
and vfgor both justice and religion owe
you debt of gratitude. and this the
more because your defence has the merit
OF constancy.
These striking proofs of your faith and
zeal serve to bind our hearts in closer
union, and inepire us with the pleasing
hope that your words will have weight
with those even who, though not in com
mission with us, are at least unbiased
witnesses of the injuries inflicted upon us
and the church. Moreover, we are con-
soled, not only because -our declarations,
which are in accord with those of the
other dignitaries of the church, may win

In this that your prayers, united with the
rest of the faithful, confirm and increase
our confidence in the Almighty power,
and ever-watchful providence of God.

AN INTERESTING RESUME.
What Happened When the Twins
Met Here Before.

The coming of the ST. Paul team to
do battle once more with the home team
is the signal for general clamor among
the cranks. Since the Apostles were
here before Morton's men have been
playing much better ball than before,
and while the Saints have lost much of
the prestige which went with good
playing and good luck, but that
doesn't detract one whit from
the interest taken in the struggle of the
twins. A large crowd will undoubtedly
witness each game of the series, and
many of them may like to refresh their
memories regarding the details of the
games in the last series between these
two clubs on the Minneapolis grounds.
In the first of those games Duke and
Dugdale were the batteries for the home
team, and Sowders and Broughton
officiated for ST. Paul. The score was
to l in favor of the Saints. The hits
were nearly even, and rather in favor
of Minneapolis, the Millers hitting Sow
ders safely four times, while st. Paul
got four singles off Dukes delivery, and
one of the home teams hits was for two
sacks. A passed ball brought in one
of st. Paul's tallies, and errors counted
III dll tilS 1CSts LII SCCOuo SdlAS
Morrison and Jantzen were the Mime
apolis battery, while little Willie Mains
and Cal Broughton held the points for
st. Pull. The latter team scored nine
times, getting eight hits and one earned
run, errors and bases on balls giving
them the rest. The home team hit
Mains five times for fifteen bases,
including Morrison's two home
runs and one by Turner, but could
only reach the plate seven times. Sow.
ders pitched again in the third game,
and was touched up for one home run,
two doubles and six singles. which,
errors by Halves, Pickett, Reilly. and
Sowders, and the liveliest base-running
they have ever done on the home
grounds, gave Minneapolis eleven runs.
A home run, two two-baggers and
six singles was the best st. Paul
could do with Mitchell that
day and close fielding on the part of the
home team held the Apostles down to
run. Sowders is now gone: Pickett
also has ceased to maui the leather for
the Sanity City aggregation, and their
phenomenal luck seems to have LETT
them, too. Meekin, the new twirler, is
an unknown quantity, but, barring ac-
cidents, this weeks series should end
with Minneapolis above the 500 point in
the percentage column.
