THE DRUNKARD'S SON.

A bright looking boy entered the Chestnut
Street Police Station last night. He seemed
to be in great distress.
"Well, my little fellow" said the big, but
kind-hearted Sergeant at the station what
is troubling you?"
"Please, sir, is my mamma locked up heref'
"Who is your mammaW
"Please, sir her name is Martin"
The Sergeant looked at the record book on
which the names of all prisoners were regis
tered.
'YGs, here is her name"
"Please, sir, can see her?'
"She is drunk. don't think it would do
you any good, my little man. Come back
again in an hour"
The poor little fellow, with his eyes filled
with tears, turned slowly, and reluctantly
left the office.
In exactly an hour he returned He had
not been very far away, but spent the time
in going from store to store watching the
hour.
This time he was admitted to the door of
the cell. The mother had recovered partially
from the drunken stupor.
~ will let her out in little while, my
boy" said the Sergeant, patting the boys
curly head. The latters eyes frightened.
'Oh, thank you, sir" he said.
Where is your father? Is he dead?'
mo, sir papa, he is at home"
"Why don't he come down for your
| motherY
Again the boys eyes filled with big tears.

he continued between his sobs. Papa drank

if she did it too. No they both get drunk SO

The rccollections of his miserable home

much sympathy for the boy, whose love for

STANLEY AND EMIN.
A Report That They are Marching To-
gcthcr to the East Coast.

Advices received at Brussels, Belgium,
from Stanley Falls state that Arabs who have
arrived there report that Henry NJ. Stanley
and Emin Pasha were heard from in Febru-
ary. They were then marching toward
Zanzibar, with several thousand men, women
and children. they also had GOO0 tusks of
ivory. Tho Arabs who brought news of
Stanley and Emn arrived at Stanley Falls in
February. They claimed to have seen Stan
ley several months before that time
This report, says the New York Post, seems
to be a confirmation of the rumor, published
recently, that Stanley was on his way to tho
East Coast, and it would also indicate thai
he had safely rejoned Emin according to the
plan mentioned in tho letter just published,
and that the latter had determined finally to
return to civilization with all the men,
women and children attached to his con-
mand This would apparently fulfil the main
object of Stanley's expedition, although there
is a political side TO it yet to be explained.

RincnCSS in Character.

Rev. Charles II. Spurgeon beautifully il
lustratcs the marks of ripGncss i'll Christian
character som what as follows: Ono mark
is beauty Rirc fruit hrs its own perfect
beauty. AS the fruit ripens, the sun tints it
with surprising loycincSs, and the colors
deepen till the beauty of the fruit is equal to
the beauty of the blossom and in some re-
spccts superior. There is in rip, Christians
the beauty of realized sanctificaiion, which
the Word of God knows by the name of
'hcauty of holiness"
Another mark of ripe fruit is tenderness.
The young, green fruit Is hard and stonc-like;
but the ri fruit is soft, yields to the pres
sure. can almost be moulded retains the
mark of the finger. So it is with the mature
Christians; he is noted for tenderness of
spirit.
Another mark of ripcncss is sweetness.
The unripc fruit is sour, and p'rhapsit it ought
tO be- or Gle we should cat all the fruits
while they are yet green. Ii NAV, therefore,

the Youthful Christian some sharpness Sh0ul |

As we grow in grace we are sure to grow IN
charity, sympathy and love; we shall have
greater and more intense affection for the
person of Him 'whom having not seen, we
love- we shall have greater delight in the
prcci MS things of His gospel; the doctrines
which perhaps we did not understand at
first will become marrow and fatncss to us
ms We advance in grace. We shall feel that
there is honey dropping from the hone, comb
in tho deep things of our religion.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-06-03

The election in the southern part of
the county on the question of division
will take place tomorrow. 1t requires that
two-thirds vote in favor shall be cast in
order to carry division. There exists a
great deal of doubt as to whether this
vote can be obtained. 1t is believed that
there is considerable quiet opposition to
ACKNOWLEDGMENT even in Santa Ana and
Orange, and the outspoken snd positive
opposition to it is very pronounced in
Anaheim, Westminster and Pomona.
Indeed the feeling this side of Santa
Ana river seems to be unanimous against
separation. We shall be very sorry il
the divisonists succeed, and shall greatly
regret the dismemberment of the county
Had what we deem to be wise counsels
prevailed, this county would have con
tinued as it is until plan Of partition
could have been amicably agreed upon
by which this city with convenient terri
tory could have been set off as city ant
county, with one government in place O.
two to eat up taxes.
