Now, will you accept that Fathers kissf
The Holy Spirit comes to you with his
arousing, melting, alarming, inviting, vivi-
fying influence. Hearer, what creates in
thee that unrest? 1t is the Holy Ghost.
What influence now tells thee that it is
time to fly, that tomorrow may be too
late; that there is one door, one road, one
cross, one sacrifice, one Jesus9 1t is the
Holy Ghost.
THE LORD Is GOING TO SAVE YOU.
My most urgent word is to those who,
like the young man of my text, are a great
way off, and they will start for home and
they will get home. They will yet preach
the Gospel, and on communion days carry
around the consecrated bread, acceptable
to everybody, because Of their holy life and
their consecrated behavior. The Lord is
going to save you. Your home has got to
be rebuilt. Your physical health has got
to be restored. Your worldly business has
got to be reconstructed. The church of
God is going to rejoice over your disciple
ship. You are not Gospel hardened. You
have not heard or read many sermons dur
ing the last few years. You do not weep,
but the shower Is not far off. You sigh,
and you have noticed that there is always
a sigh in the wind before the rain falls
There are those who would give any
thing if they could find relief in tears.
They say: ooh, my wasted life Oh, the
bitter pastl Oh, the graves over which
have stumbled Whittier shall fyS Alas
for the futurel Everything is dark
dark, so dark. God help mel God pity
mep Thank the Lord for that last utter
ance. You have begun to pray, and when
man begins to petition, that sets all
heaven flying this way, and God steps in
and beats back the hounds of temptation
to their kennel, and around about the poor
wounded soul puts the covert Of his par
doning mercy, Harkl | hear something
fall. What was that2 1t is the bars of the
fence around the sheepfold The shepherd
let's them down, and the hunted sheep Of
the mountain bound in, some Of them
their fleece torn with the brambles, some
of them their feet lame with the dogs; but
bounding in. Thank Godl Saved for
time. and saved for eternity.

Details have now reached Breslau of the
accident by which forty-two children were

number of church goers, including about
forty young girls belonging to the villages

A compliment Of SENATOR purh.

Senator Pugh, of Alabama, has habit
of talking in such loud tone to his col
leagues that he can be distinctly heard in
all parts Of the chamber. A rather anus
senator's bad habit. Senator Daniel, Of
Virginia. had concluded long speech on
the silver question and was hopping the
perspiration from his face while receiving
the congratulations of his colleagues Sen
ator Vance had just commended the speech
in words of warmest eulogy, when Mr. Pugh
ambled over to the Virginian's desk and

rAE BABY.

The little, lettering baby feet,
With faltering steps and slow.
With pattering echoes soft and sweet
Into my heart they 60;
They also so, in grimy plays
In muddy pools and dusty ways,
Then through the house in traclxful maze
They wander to and fro
The baby hands that clasp my neck
With touches dear to me
Are the same hands that smash and wreck
The inkstand foul to see;
They pound the mirror with cane,
They rend the manuscript in twain,
Widespread destruction they ordain
In wasteful jubilee.
The dreamy, murm ring voice
That coos its little tune.
That makes my listening heart rejoice,
Like birds In leafy June,
Can wake in midnight, dark and still,
And eli the air with bowling fiji,
That splits tine ear with echoes shrill.
Like comets out of tune

NEW PUBLICATION

"Tartarin of Tarascon . in English.
The announcement that Alphonse
Daudet has written another Tartsrin
story, and that it is to be published
through the medium of a translation by
Henry James in HGrpeT's Magazine be-
fore the appearance of the French origi-
nal, has awakened new interest in the
origin of M. Daudet's famous hero of
Tarascon. LIE Figaro of Paris gives the
details as follows:-As far back as 1862 NJ.
Daudet contributed to Lie Figaro q story
entitled "Chapotin, Tueur de lions.v Six
years later he developed the story into a
romance and called it "Barbarin de
Tarascon." This offended Il family of
Barbarins living at Tarascon, SO in the
second and subsequent editions the b
was changed to a T. 'sTartarin de Taras-
con" first appeared in lie Petit OBiciel.
NJ. Daudet had promised his friend NJ.
Dalloz a sensational romance for this
new journal, and when he proposed 'Tar-
tarin de ~larascon," the offer was enthu-
siastically accepted and the story pub
lished. 1t proved a dead failure. The
humor of it was too fine, too delicate for
the class OF readers to whom Lie Petit
O6fcicI appealed. Some time afterward
the story was reproduced in LIE Figaro.
The success OF ''Tartarin de Tarascon" in
Lie Figure was as great as it's failure had
been in LIE Petit O6icicl. 1t was followed
by ''Tartarin sur les Alpes," and now
Port Iarascon," the last of the series,
will complete the adventures of ssthe
iuustrious Tartarin."

The Gardner Scandal.

The Gardner dredging committee
is fast becoming a public scandal.
The people are sick of it, irrespective
of party, and the taxpayers are grow
ing anxious over the *
pense that is being incurred.
Every useful purpose that the COM
mittee could have had has been &c
complished; there is ample material in
hand for a decision in Senator
McDonald's favor, and no reason
able prospect of any evidence to
reverse the result of last Noyember's
count. 1t is even bad politics for the
committee TO go on, because they have
worn out the public interest in the
alleged revelations, and are now Great
ing positive hostility to their own side
by the scandalous nature of their pro-
ceedings.
Senator Gardeners unblushing dis
tortion of the evidence, MI. Corbin's
one-sided course of procedure,
the insolent ignoring of Senator
Adrain, and the overriding of
Judge iGarretsoE are scandals. to
which the public are not blind.
Then there is the bulldozing of weak
women who appear as witnesses, the
constant effort to entrap the ignorant
and simple, also the outrage on the
rights of poor men in compelling
them to dance attendance day after
day at the Chancery Chambers while
their families are in want, perhaps.
But the most serious aspect of the
business is the expense. Thousands
of dollars of responsibility have al
ready been heaped upon the State for
heelers for the committee, wit
ness fees, type writer's and the
like. Then there will be the
counsel fees. They will prob
ably reach a pretty figure. What
matter if any public purpose were to
be served, but it is simply outrage
u that in these times of financial
trouble the money of the State should
be wasted to manufacture campaign
material for the Republican party.
We should think good taste, good
Judgment and a sense of right
would make the lawyers in the case
hasten to get the nasty business off
their hands.

The Perkins Fake.

The thing we most admire about
Mr.. George F. Perkins is his gener-
osity. He graciously permits the Re-
publican County Committee to go
ahead with the contest-of the Mayor
atty election, and to assume the ex-
penses thereof to the tune of 81, 900 or
5000 If they see fit.
Really this is too kind. Mr.. Perkins
has distinguished himself in the mat
ter of campaign expenses, and he is
evidently bound to keep up his
record.
But the delightful thing about it
is the way the committee fell into the
arrangement, and subscribed a little
jackpot to open the merry game of
bluff.
Ex-Judge Blair says the show will
cost 81, 600 to IS, 900. DfSthis there i
now in sight about So, 900. Mr.. Per

hardship on Mayor Cleveland and the
Democracy who have not much
money at command. But If necessary
an appeal to the public might be
made. We have no doubt funds
would be found to defend the ballot
