Two things constitute Christian. These two things are goodness and truth. Not goodness and truth as they are supposed to be practiced by church members, but as they are in fact. Truth married to goodness -- this is the essence of Christianity. All else in religion is external, and not essential, a mere shell and not the kernel. To be good a man must do good. Nor must he do good to be seen of men, and to have his name spread abroad. He must do good because it is right to do good, be- cause he loves to do it, because of the beauty and the joy that the act will bring to his heart. And he must be truthful in the same way, not for ostentation, but for the satisfaction it brings to his own soul. He must see nothing but beauty in truth, and nothing but ugliness and hatefulness in falsehood.
Nevada County picayune., 1890-02-26

gainville subsequently, obtained from her full confession. She said that she was an orphan that she had served before in mems clothes, and that a voyage around the world had innamed her curiosity. He added that she always behaved on board with the most scrupulous modesty. But he drops the subject without any further return to it, and we are left in the dark as to what was her real name, or what became of her subse- quently.- Exchange.

Regularity of Habit.

One of the most difficult of all minor habits to acquire, says an able writer, is that of regularity. It ranks with that of order. The natu- ra inclination of most persons is to defer until the last possible moment, or to put off till another time, when this can possibly be done. Yet hab- It's of regularity contribute largely to the ease and comfort of life. A per son can multiply his efficiency by it.. We know persons who have a multi tude of duties, who perform a vast deal of work daily, who set apart certain hours for given duties, and are there at the moment, and attend rigidly to what is in hand. This done, and other engagements are met each in order, and a vast deal ac- complished, not by strained exertion but by regularity. The mind can be so trained to this that at certain hours in the day it will turn to a par ticular line of duty, and at other hours to other and different labors. The very diversity is restful, when attended to in regular order. But let these run together, and the du- ties mixed, and what before was easy is now annoying and oppressive, and the exact difference hetween many is at this point.
Nevada County picayune., 1890-02-26
Water Lilies.

Not far from our house, which oc cupies good part of half an acre, can in summer find baskctsful ol beautiful water lilies-or perhaps had better say, as the cook books do, basltetfuls' of them. And l never lean tremblingly over great wind fallen sycamore that l don't forth with begin to marvel, as left beauty after beauty from the pond over which the old tree leans so handily just why such exquisite blossoms come in just such out-of-the- | places. But more than all l wonder how, from the black depths of this muddy pond, such cups of purity can arise.
 An, those lilies preach to me finer sermons on sweltering summer Sun day mornings than ever did Parson Blunt. And who cares to condemn me for choosing the old sycamore tree for a pew-rent free-and the songs of the birds in musical stead of the choir. with Natures temple ceiled in azure blue, and the softness of carpeting of emerald moss be- meath my feet, the cool winds blow ing about me instead of the suffoca- ting, dust-laden used-up atmosphere of the small and crowded Zion chapel may do so, with all my heart!
 My preachers are voiceless-my text, the difference that lies between foul, murky depths and the uncarth- ly purity of the waxen lily petals.
 What do shey teach me?
 This:
 That from the low places the foul dark recesses where crime may turk, and sin ann evil hold its court--from depths we may not penetrate, whose forbidding entrance we pass shud- dingly, even from these dark pools of the world, horrid Tn their moral stagnation, come, like the pure, white lilies, the little ones of God.
 Sinless, stainless, innocently pure, beautiful, fragile and sweet, fair and clean, as the lilies or the angels, come the babies into their mother s arms, Just as these white lilies are hers who gather them, be she who she may, so does the Giver of all Good bring to mothers in lowly places human blossoms as fair and precious and stainless as the cher ished flowers of nobility. -EX.
