Young Mena' chrIstian Association Notes

Young Mens' Christian Association Notes.
personal Purity" is the subject of the
| next practical talk to be delivered under
Association auspices, on Friday evening
next, at 8 O'clock This is subject that
is attracting wide attention and one that
needs capable handling, and in DR..
Rogers we think the right man has been
secured. Every young man, as well as
boys over u years of age, are invited to
attend whether they are members of the
Association or not.
The Association has secured for the
second entertainment of the regular
course, G. L. Bolton to deliver one of
his most popular lectures, Russia and
the Romanoifs," amply illustrated by
stereopticon. In view of the series of
articles written by George KEENAN, for
the Century magazine disclosing the in
ner workings of Russia's domestic sys-
tenn, any further information concerning
that country cannot help but be interest
| ing. We must again, in justice to our
selves, bespeak the earnest cooperation
of the public in supporting these enter
tainments. A demand has been made
upon us to present attractions elevating
and at the same time enjoyable, and we
are trying to meet it. Your support is
absolutely necessary. Tickets will be on
sale at the rooms at the end of this week.
Messrs. Hoople and Milbury the evan
gelists will soon be with u.s. They are
men who have been blessed of God to a
large degree in the saving of souls,
among the large churches of New York
and Brooklyn. They are both young
business men, having large interests, and
have never before come as far as they
will in this case, their business not per-
hitting. All Christian men are earnest
ly requested to make an effort to be at
these meetings at the rooms of the Asso-
citation, commencing Sunday at 4 o'clock
and continuing each week day evening at I
s o'clock, for one week at least. Open
meetings will be conducted by these gen. !
tlemen each afternoon, commencing |
Monday the 10th, inst, at 4 o'clock for !
the general public in the Methodist
church. We hope the ladies will turn !
out largely and pray earnestly for the
success of all these meetings.
From the 9th to the 18th of this month
is celebrated all over the world as
special week of prayer and evangelistic
effort for young men. Over four thou
sand Associations will girdle this world
with one vast outpouring of prayer for
the salvation of young men. Let every
Christian soul join in with us. Win the
young men and you win the world. Let
our motto be the world for Christ in this
generation. On Sunday morning next
from each one of the pulpits sermons
will be preached about young men and
unless we are very much mistaken facts
will be presented that will pretty thor !
Dughly arouse people to the need of spec
al effort to win the young men. In the |
evening a union meeting of all the
will be held in the Methodist
church, when the worldwide work of i
he Young Mems Christian Association
will be presented by the Secretary of our
ocal Association. We hope to see the I
churches packed at all these services
lext Sunday.

The Soldiers Home.

The military committee of the two
Houses of the Legislature visited the
Soldiers Home on Friday last. We
understand that they were highly pleased
with what they saw. Certainly they
should have been. 1t is generally CON
coded that the home has no superior in
the country of its class. 1t is a small
institution in comparison with those
established in many of the States, but of
sufficient capacity for Vermont Its
location is beautiful, and the "boys"
who find home there regard it as their
own. The report af the trustees, just
made to the Legislature, shows the insti-
tuition to be under judicious and careful
management 1t is fortunate for the
State that it has an institution of this
sort. The expense of maintenance on
the part of the State is only about 500
per CAPITA at the present time, like
sum being paid towards its support by
the federal government And in cases
where the inmates have no families and
receive pensions, the pensions are turned
over to the home. 1t will not be long
before every inmate of the home will
receive pension, so that the expense to
the State, though small now, for the
number provided for, will be less, In
no other waycan so much good be accom-
plished with the same money. The
States which have had no homes of this
nature are rapidly making provisions for
them. But none of them have been
favored to the extent of the Green
Mountain State, which received its val
liable property as a free gift from the
T.. w. Park heirs. The institution is
capable of accommodating eighty-five
inmates, and its capacity is nearly sup
piled. The saddest feature of the home
in its extraordinary death-rate-t welve
inmates having already received their
final muster-out from the institution.
A hospital is sorely needed, and there is
no doubt this is to be built.-iSt. Adams
Messenger.

bees the plaintiff They stopped ~ the
same hotel, and had adjoining rooms, and
were often together during the evenings.
A local attorney Was assisting Voorhees, in
the prosecution Of the case. and the EVIL
dence tended strongly against Gordon's
client from the first, and he had littie hopes
Of verdict in his favor. The evidence
closed late one evening. and that night
Voorhees, entered Gordon's room at the
hotel, and the two engaged In cOnversa-
ton. The time that each would require in
the argument was referred to. and Gordon
asked: VOORHEES,, what are you going to

4 skeleton in the Closet.

The most modern Biuebeard is a farmer
near Bristol, Del. He employed Katie Ma
maa as domestic. and warned her against
peering into a certain closet. Of course
that meant thas kntie peered, and she saw
the dead body of a man lying on the closet
floor, and tho circumstances attending in
dicated that the body was in an advanced
stage of decomposition. Katie fed. These
heroines always fee, and in this instance
she notified the authorities, who made a
raid on the Bristol farm. After consider
able circumlocution-an easy term for pre-
varication-they got into the house and de-
manded entrance to the closet. This wes
granted after a time, and as the door
opened the odors enanating almost over
came the officers. They persisted in their
duty, however, and foUld-not the corpse
which Katie's imagination had produced,
