A noteworthy event in the history Of
the State was the recent dedication, with
imposing ceremonies, of the publishing
house of the African Methodist Church,

sented the keys of the building, on be-
half of the young members of the church,
to Bishop Wayman, who, in receiving
them, sa d he did so on behalf OF !

The GosDel OF Love.

An eminent minister of the gospel was
criticised because he did not preach the law
Of God, but only and always the love of
Christ. It was said that persons awakened
by such preaching would not truly repent of
sin. But on the contrary, it was found that
the more sinners realized the love Of Christ
in dying for them the deep r and more in
tense was their hatred OF sin. Sin was to
them not simply the violation of law, but
that abominable thing which nailed their
Savicr to the accursed tree. 1t is well, of
course, to present all the doctrines Of the
Bible in due trder and prop rtion. The old
preachers were very systematic. They pre-
sented in their sermons at least once q year,
the ''whole body of divinity" Their theory
was that the p ople must be indoctrinated in
order to be saved. But the great truths Of
The evangelical system are so vita ly con-
nected with each other that if one is received
It will bring in all the rest; if one is stimu-
lated it will quicken all the rest. That is not
always one-sided which seems so. There is
difference between pulling the oar on one
side of boat and squirting on one side Of a
horse. se.-InteliOr.

COnuuering.


When God wsns testimony He often Sc
lects His proudest foes. The cause Of mis-
sions is now receiving the fireAo the enemies
Of Christianity. The battle RACES on every
side of the citadel Of truth, now on one side
and now ON the other, but from them all God
organizes victory. Truth compels honest
natures t. surrender, discqmfts Others and
silences d ceivers. This time it is sn honest
nature who surrenders before the light that
manline:s can no longer r. sist. Tn, notorious
Paul Bert while in France was a vindictive
infidel and denounced every form and shade
Of religion, and specially did lie rage against
al issionaries nd their efforts. But after
he lad lad official appointment to Tonquin
his hostilities ce ssed; wlen he be- an to un.
derSta d he situation his violence changed
first into t,lerauce and then into apprecia-
tion, and in his report of his administration
Of Tonquin, recently published, he says that
he avails himself Of the hep of these de-
spisedI workers for lost humanity. He ad-
units their immense influence over the people
and their knowledge Of them, by which, il
no by their advice, he guided his actions
saying that without their assistance it was
almost impossible for him to succeed, and he,
had to acknowledge the great value Of their
services" It would be difficult to find
more surprising example of complete turn
ing upside down of q public man as publicly
ayowed; and the fact is an important testi-
mcny to the value Of missionary work.

Dns!, Down That Bowl.

Dns! Down That Bowl.
Dash down that bowl!
Though the sparkling wine,
Like a jewel fair,
May brightly shine:
Though the brow it illumine,
The sad heart cheer,
rTis followed by grief,
And the sigh and tear.
Touch not one drop!
Be no more slave
OF the cup that is friend
OF the worm and the grave;
Break oil the yoke
That euslaves thee now;
Bear no more the brand
That's stamped on thy brow.
Gaze on thy hearth!
See want and despair!
The starving, the ragged,
The wretched are there;
What hath despoiled thee,
And made all so drear!
Look on the wine cup,
The answer is there.
Break not her fond heart
That bitterness feels,
As alone with God
In sadness she kneels;
While the hearth broken prayer
Rises up to the throne
From the groaning, the wretched,
For thee, erring one.
Dash down that bowl!
No longer drain
That cup Of he'll,
Of death and pain:
Drink the crystal stream,
twill life impart,
And true Joy give
70 thee, sad Of heart:

Twins of Two CoIors,

Mrs. Mary Jones, of Bridgeport, Conn, and the twins to whom she gave birth few days ago. are objects of great interest among many residents of the Eourth ward. The peouliarity aboat the infants is the startling coAtFast in their oomplexions. One ia AA black aa the ordinary infant born of full African parents, but the other is as white a the olearest-skinned repre- sentative of the Caucasian race. Mrs. Jones is the mother of nine other children, but m none of them is there any indications of white blood. Tue new white twin child is the favorite with the mother and. other members of the family. The doctors are wondering how it is that two children of ! the same parents caa be 90 dissimilar. Dr.. Downs, medical examiner for the city, has taken 2 s0aau lock of hair from each chiid's head, and also avery minute plece of cuticle, to make examinations under the microscope, If he finds the hair ot the whita child
 woolly, and also coloring matter aa tho skin, 1t will prove that the twiRa are both colored; otherwise the white child is just what he looks to be.

THE WICKED WOMAN.

She Is Nearly Always a Blonde with Light
 Hair and Bluo Eyes. -.
 It is the blonde woman who does the mis- chief, says the Hartford Courant Lucretia Borela had yellow halr, so, according to Grant White, had Lucy Macbeth, who was petite and slight. The mischief-maker, Mme. Montbazon, was 8 regal blonde. Mme Simon's kue eyes looked unflinchingly at the guillotine when the still fairer head of the innocent criminal, Marie Antoinette, fell into the basket. Bloody Mary was slight and fair. Marie de Medici was fleshy, blonde woman, though her hair was streaked with gray when she died on her straw litter at Cologne, and Catherine of the same noble house was either fair or stained her tresses to make her appear so. l dare say the daughter. of HerQdias, who danced before Herod, was yellow haired tho old masters made her so (those high born Jewish maidens had the blonde tint)- and nobody doubts that Delilah's blue eyes bewitched the secret out of tho soft-headed, soft-hearted, black-bearded giant. And it seems that Mrs. Maybrick is yellow-haired, slight, and before all this terrible experi- ence had peach.like bloom. Now, it is true, she has lost it and the good looks that Sir Charles Russell so much de- pended on as an evidence of her innocence, and has grown heavy and dull-eyed. After all,'her fate is not an en- viable one. For nine months she will be kept in solitary confinement in some coun- try jail In England. During that time she can see no one. receive no letters, neither
 read nor write, and the only mercy ex
 tended her is such work as she can do in
 her cell. When this probationary time is
 over she will be taken out of jail, and in her coarse blue convict dress and shaker bonnet make her first outing. It will be to one of the female penitentiaries, but which no one will know till the day of her, departure, and there she will live. and dle. If she has not torn her hair or bruised her frail body, or frantically cursed the keeper who brings her daily food, if, in fact, she has ssbeeu good, she may in the next year receive one visitor and one letter. Aa time rolls on she may even become good enough to earn three letters and three visitors each year. The Baroness Roques. her mother, whose
 shameful life and whose attainted blood are her heritage, returna to Paris, and the other l criminal, Brierly, has arrived In this coun- l try as the agent of several Liverpool mer- l chants, he Is reported to have said, to make 3 com fortable living in the South. A Mo l bile lady. who knew Mrs. Maybrick when l she was 8 child, told the Observer recently l that t'she was pretty little fair-haired l girl, with shy waysn So iuatiee to three equally responsible persons is meted out.
 We will asree, ] think, that it is not with thA woman Whp was only few years age descrlhed as a .spretty little fair haired girl with shy ways"

now rema inH for tho people to foot the

fifteen thousand already appropriated

it has been repeatedly stated that If
