The Hunted Hart.

A traveller relates, II once stood and
watched hart being pursued by hun
ters, and a most painful sight it was.
The poor creature staggered along, its
eyes hot and bloodShot, while the
great tears streamed down its face.
Its flanks were torn by the priclly TO-
liage through which it had rushed. 1t
knew its only safety was in the hills,
and laboriously it staggered upward.
BY the time it had reached compara-
tive safety it was thoroughly exhaust
ed, and widely shifted the air for wa
ter. Soon it came to stream into
which it plunged. There it stood, al
most immersed, and when it stepped
from the water it looked quite fresh
and strong, and began quietly to nib
BILE the herbage on the bank. 'As the
hart panteth after water-brooks, so
panteth my soul after Thee, O God.'

Woman and War.

The Countess Setback read, at the
late Berne Peace Congress, the follow
ing communication from the women
of France, which was signed by Maria
Deraisme, the president, and V.
Griesstraut, the vice-president of the
Ladies' Committee of the Information.
al Arbitration and Peace Association
at Paris:
SIN the name of the Society for the
amelioration of the destiny of women,
we express to the members of the Con-
ference at Berne the warmest sympa-
thy.
ave desire, firstly, that all women
present at the Conference join the eff
forts Of their sisters at Paris and of
France for the substitution of the pa
cific means of arbitration and of the
international Tribunal in place Of war
for the settlement Of differences, be-
cause, of all the obstacles to progress,
to morality, to the well-being of ma
tions, nothing has an influence of
more evil omen and more demoralizing
than war.
"The women are the first inoffensive
and innocent victims; then let us un-
derstand our power and our duty in
this great mission of peace which be-
longs to women"

The QuestiOn-The Answer.

What can the sinner do to propitiate
God, and secure the pardon of his ma
ny sins? This, to the penitent crying
out, "My sins are burden too heavy
for me to bear" is a question Of i'm
mense Importance. He feels that he
can do nothing, but on the contrary,
that he deserves Punishment from the
peace-speaking presence Of God be-
cause of his transgression. He feels
that the words of the prophet suit his
case: "Woe is me, for T am undone,
for am a man of unclean lips;" aid
he greatly desires to have his trans
gression blotted out; but the question
still presses upon him, With what ar
guments shall he draw near to God ?
But here is the answer: "Not for your
sake, but for mine o1paa safe, will I
blot out your transgressions." Surely
this is a plea that any penitent heart
can hopefully use.

Preaching and Practicing.

That was plain and noble testimony
that the young man is reported to have
given to the examining committee Of
our church. "Under whose preaching
were you converted?" they asked.
Under nobody's preaching" was the
reply: II was converted under my
mothers practicing." Gracious trib-
ute was that to parental example!
And perhaps there was little talking
in it all, little urging to duty and ex-
horting to obedience. The temperture
of the mothers life was so sweet and
salubrious that it woke and matured
the seed of the grace that had been
dropped into the heart, and it sprang
up spontaneously.

Some people are afraid of anything
like joy in religion. They have none
themselves, and they do not love to see
in others. Thier religion is something
like the stars, very high and very
clear, but very cold. When they see
tears of anxiety, or tears of joy, they
cry out, Enthusiasm Enthusiasm !
II sat down under his shadow with
great delight" Is this enthusiasm ?
MAY the God of hope fill you with all
joy and peace in believing" If it be
really in sitting under the shadow of
Christ, let there be no bounds to our
joy. Oh! if God would but open our
eyes and give us simple, child-like
faith to look to Jesus, to cit under his
shadow, then would songs of joy rise
from all our dwellings.

Something About Gen. Noble.

From the New York Star.
'What about this new Secretary of the Inte-
rior?" said last night to Col Hickey of Mis-
souri,. who knows every man worth knowing in
the state.
"What about him?" said the Missourian.
''You people here in the east do not know him.
He has been an able and transformations attor-
ney in st. Louis, and has amassed fortune in
a legitimate vocation. He has never been a
railroad lawyer and has no utilization with the
speculative interests of the west Indeed. l
believe that they were all against him for his
present position"
How, them did he happen to be appointed?''
Harrison and Noble were classmates to-
gether. Their personal acquaintance began
long years ago and has never been interrupted,
although they lived many miles apart. l am a
democrat, but believe that Gen. Noble is one
OF the strongest appointments in Gen. Harri-
sons cabinet. While he is republican he is
not bitter partisan. and he is above all things,
conscientious business man. He will admin
lister the affairs OF the Interior department just
as he would conduct his law Office in St. Louis.
In wealth and position he is above the reach of
the corporations and cannot be polluted. He
will doubtless displease his party for his want
OF partisan zeal, but he will administer the Of
flee as few men have ever done in the history
OF the government / am of the opinion that
he has been appointed by Gen. Harrison solely
on this account; but, whether this is true or
not, there is no Missourian of character in
either party who does not feel that the state
has been honored by his appointment"

Here Comes "Eggscooz Me-"

rrom tne brooklyn Eagle
In one of the contest Of uptown fats there
dwells widow whose unaided and untlring
efforts to support, train, and educate as inter-
esting quartet of children as the city can
boast of have not robbed her of her youthful
charms of face and form or dulled her keen
appreciation of the humorous and ludicrous In
life. The landlord of the fiat is German wldower
who, despite his threescore years and ten, is
still convinced that at courtship he can hold
his own against great many Den young
enough to be his grandsons. The landlord
collects his own rents and personally attends to
all business Of the fiat. Consequently he fire.
quently has occasion to visit the handsome
young widow. One day he dropped in Just in
time to surprise her with sleeves well rolled up
on her shapely arms engaged in one of the
many domestic duties of the day.
"Eggs-scoo-z me, he remarked, in a quaint,
drawing way, while the smile of a courter
struggled in vain attempt to illumine his
wlzened old features. 'Eggs-scoo-z me, but
have you got the gonzoomption?"
Now, the widow is not at all consumptive,
but on the contrary. presents as pretty and
pleasant picture of perfect womanly health
as one could wish to admire. The question,
therefore. surprised her, but it finally dawned
on her that the old man was indulging in a
little piece of polite POPULARITY, and she replied
with smile that she was quite well.
"Eggs-scoo-z me-. he drawled out again,
while his eyes took on a squirt which was prob
ably meant for a gay twinkle of gallantry;
"eggsscoo-z me, but your arms are-are-are
so-pe-yoo-diful."
The widows sleeves were jerked down with
snap which nearly ripped them off, and the
aged admirer got a look of flashing scorn which
effectually stopped the wagging of his too COM
plimentary tongue for at least the rest of the
day. That was six months ago. Five-year-
Jimmy, the widows youngest and brightest,
had taken in the whole of the conversation.
One day last week little Jimmy dashed into the
kitchen OF his mothers apartments, excited and
breathless
Quick, mamma, quick" he gasped; "pull
down your sleeves quick. Here comes Eggs

THE BALL INCOMPATIBLE.
From a Terpsichorean Standpoint
Surpassed all Predecessors.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Prof. s. Asher, the distinguished professor Of
dancing at Philadelphia, who led the dancing
at the Inauguration ball, thus describes the
event:
IL attended four Inauguration balls at WASH
ington previous to this-Grants last one, Hayes,
Garield's and Cleveland's. Without exception
President Harrison's was the most brilliant as
sembly, the largest and most noted for the at
tendance of so many distinguished persons.
The display Of rich and becoming gowns and
costly jewels excelled anything I have ever
seen. Never in my travels did see anything to
compare with this. In the early part of the eve
ming, Of course, the hall was too crowded for
dancing. After midnight when many who had
gone merely as spectators had left the floor was
yielded to the dancers. 1t was noticeable that
there was more uniformity in the style Of dan
cling than has been seen at any previous ma
tional ball. The only way can account for
this is that the influence of the American
society of professors of dancing is making itself
more widely felt. The organization includes
in its membership the most popular instruc-
tors of the country and embraces every large
city in the Union. No doubt many of the
ladies and gentlemen present we're at one time
or other under the instruction of some of the
members of our society. In forming the
quadrilles the majority of the sets, noticed,
danced the Saratoga lancers. Ihls was partlcu-
larly the case with those in which were men,
bers of the diplomatic corps and other leaders
in Washington society. With the guests from
other cities many seemed to favor the old style,
too, and my impression is that the Saratoga
WILL from this on, not only return to popular
favor, but even exceed its former prestige in
the best society. / think in the Saratoga we
shall have our national dance.
"Of the round dancing, in the waltz the glide
appeared to be most generally danced, and
was pleased to see so many taking part in the
Yorks, which was very properly included in the
program. The music was ample in volume for
the immense building and the time was superb.
With the forces Of Beck and Hassler together
in the combined orchestra, and Boldt presiding
over the supper-room, the many Philadelphians
present could not but feel entirely at home at
the Inauguration ball ("

From the JamestowH, Pa, News.
Natural gas has artifcially prolonged the ex-
istence OF the fly. In the days of old, when
nights were cold, there being no gas fires, the
last fly of summer smoothed down his little csat-
tails, rolled up his trunk and fell over on his
back after the first few frosts. Now the fly,
like the man who wants small loan. is always
with us. He basks in continual warmth all
winter, but there are precious few of him. The
average happy home, where gas bills come as
regularly as the new moon. will have trouble in
soaring up more than three live flies on Valen-
tines day. Whether the February fy lasts
until the young mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of spring suits, is a question for sci
entists to tackle. We simply want TO 60 ON rec
ord as saying that where natural gas prevails
and no tab is kept ON the consumption il is pos
sible by the expenditure of from S12 to $50 to
preserve the life of fly all winter and keep the
household warm at the same time. When we
can see fly twiddling his hind legs and rub
bling his ears on February 2Sth We are con-
WINGED that he will live in great and growing
age.

TARTAN STATE EDUCATION.

DiohOf rOLEf, OF DETROIT. FAVORS NON-SEC-
TARTAN STATE EDUCATION.
special from Detroit, March IL, to the
Philadelphia Press says: Bishop Foley as
tonished Catholics to-day by coming out in an
interview taking strong ground in favor of the
public schools system. A committee of ladies
recently called upon the bishop bearing Pc
tition for the admission of women's votes for
school inspectors
Bishop Foley signed the petition, and the
woman suffragists were delighted. Being asked
to-day if he was in favor of woman suffrage
generally, the bishop said he was not, and
added; Il signed because 1 thought perhaps
1t might prove of some benefit to education
and perhaps take the schools out Of politics.
l believe in the state providing educational
facilities for its citizens and believe that the
public school should be non-sectarian. Sec
tarianism should not be allowed to enter into
either politics or public schools. When 1 vote
vote as John Foley. an American citizen. and
would vote for Protestant candidate against
a Catholic, if the former was better fitted for
the place in question than the latter. I
do not approve, however, of the maintenance
OF schools for the rich out of the money taken
from the poor"
