which occurred in the early part of the

though insufficient, greatly benefited all

When Does Woman Cease 10 be Loyely2

When D0es Woman Cease 10 be Lovely?
Mrs. Jennie June Croly, famous writer,
opens discussion upon tho onesided ques-
ton, "When does woman cease to be love.
ly?" Never, we say. The voice is re.
garded by some as the supreme faculty,
the eye by others; but the face is supposed
to be the main type, and yet there is
scarcely feature Or function in the divine
harmony of womanhood that is not found
in charming verses. In the conyentiona
idea of loveliness, says the New York Herl
aid, "How much comes from millinery,
how much from new mown hay?' and
answers the question wisely and well:
"Woman is lovely so long as she OK
presses her womanhood. The years have
no part in this. OF a truth, the years
bring more than they take away. Lovely
is woman as she first looks upon the world
with deep, trustful, virgin eyes, to her a
wonderland, music in the winds, radiant,
intense, glowing world Of hopes and
dreams Bat is woman not even more
lovely as she looks into eyes that bring her
messages from the eternities, that take her
into the iofnite and holy past, when her
womanhood hss lew revelation from the
eyes of her first born? Aud as the years
come with experiences that ennoble, sor-
rows that become sacraments, what more
lovely than woman with children at her
side and children coming to them2 This
seems to answer the question: Woman
never ceases to be lovely so long as she is
woman and respects her womanhood.

BATES OFADVERTTsINg,
A Lay Sermon to the Clergy.

The New York Herald some time since
preached sermon to the clergy of that citv
as follows
"a few days ago there was meeting of
ministers in this city. and some of them de.
plored the Indifference of the great crowd
to religious services, complained-may we
be permitted as lay critic to say they
whined?- sparse congregations and
the difficulty with which conversions are
made, and all that sort of thing.
| Well, no won6er the people are cold.-
The pulpit and the Church are refrigera-
tors. Clergymen generally preach as
though it really didn't matter much wheth-
er men go to sheol or heaven. They read a
pile of manuscript in a dronipg, doIefuI
voice. and the dull monotone is no better
than an anasthesic. They tell their hear
ers that virtue is virtuous and vice vicious:
that we are all prone to evil as the sparks
| fly upward, and shat if we don't mend our
| ways righ. soon we shall go to everlasting
| smash, and do it with the same cadence
with which they ask the servant to pass the
| fried potatoes at the breakfast table.
When mans apartment is on fire he
doesn't wait to part bis hair or brush his
coat, neither does he walk leisurely up to
| the jauitor and request him to inform the
q
| OF it. He yells at the top of his voice. He
rings every bell he can get hold of. He
makes terrific uproar, rushes out into the
street in his shirt sleeves and gathers q
crowd in about two minutes.
Now, then, if the world instead Of the
apartment is all ab)aze, and if we are real
ly on the road to perdition and going an
fast as fellow on toboggan slide, why
are you SO mighty cool about it, gentlemens
That is what is the matter with the clergy
they ara so awfully cool that the people
are fully convinced that there is some mis-
take about the danger signal.
You can talk learnedly about predestina-
ton, but you might just as well talk about
the North Pole. Cry "Firei' at the top
of your lungs and we are with you. Show
that you mean business and we, the peo.
pie, will mean business, too. Here are
girls going to the bad every year; boys
dropping into saloons and gaming houses
and dives and thereby greasing the down
grade; strong men leaving for Canada, a
long procession elbowing each other to get
there first. You talk about sheol; why,
we have good sized one right here in
New York.
Who cares? Do you?
Phil DAILY may be nothing; those two
rufians may be nothing; those two women
may be nothing. But the condition of So
ciety which renders such crimes and crimi-
nails possible, is that nothing?
A dozen blazing sermons are hidden in
that occurrence.
If the clergy of New York had the
"nerve" of that gambler, and if their con.
gregations would back them up, the devil
would have to go to warne er climate for
bis health"

ANCIENT BABYLON the great
city of the Chaldsans, was five times as
large as the London of to-day. Its walls
were as high as lofty church steeples-330
feet above the ground. The palace of Neb-
uchadnezzar, the destroyer Of Jerusalem,
was seven miles in circumference. The bed
of the great Euphrates was paved with
bricks. The palaces and temples were full
of wonderful triumphs of painter. sculptor.
and of libraries of history, science and let
ters. The Babylonians were astronomers
OF great proficiency, considering the age in
whIch they lived, and they watched the
movements OF the heavenly bodies with in
