They Are Used in Large Quantities in All Parts of the World
 That there Is common craving among large proportion of mankind for medicated drinks is as remarkable as it is noticeable. Dr. Johnston, in "The Chemistry of Common Life" published in 1855, gives the following condensed topography of these mild stimulants: In Central America the Indian of native
 blood and the Creole of mixed European
 race indulge alike in their ancient chocolate. In South America the tea of Paraguay is an almost universal bever- age. The native North American tribes have their Appalachian tea, their oswego tea, their Labrador tea and many others From Florida to Georgia in the United States, and all over the West India islands, the naturalized European races sip their favorite coffee; while over the Northern States of the Union, and in
 tho British provinces, the tea of China is in constant and daily
 use In Europe we have no means of knowing how long such tastes and practices have prevailed. Tho Romans, at their banquets, used cups and Saucers made of silver richly em-
 bossed. They were nearly of the same shape as those now in use, and were employed for drinking hot water out of.
 Whether 1t was customary to infuse herbs in this water on any occasion we do not read. But in Holland and En- gland sage tea was in use till a very late period; and it's antiquity is shown by
 tho statement that the Dutch, in their early intercourse with China, carried out dried sage leaves as an article of
 traffic, and exchanged them against
 those of the Chinese tea-tree. Now,
 however, every country of Europe has chosen for itself one or other of the
 familiar foreign beverages Spain and
 Italy delight ia cocoa; France, Ger many, Sweden and Turkey in coffee; Russia, Holland and England in tea; while poor Ireland makes a warm drink
 for itself, out of the husks of the cocoa, the refuse of the chocolate mills
 of Italy and Spain. So all Asia feels tSe same want, and in different ways,
 has long gratified it. Coffee, indigo
 nous in Abyssinia or the adjoining coun-
 tries, has attached itself to the banncr
 of the Arabian prophet, and has fol.
 lowed it wherever in Asia or Africa bis false faith has triumphed. Tea, ns-
 tive of China, has spread spontaneously
 over the hill country of the Himalayas,
 the table lands of Tartary and Thibet,
 and the plains of Siberia, has climbed the Altais, overspread Russia, and Is
 equally despotic in Moscow as in St
 Petersburg. In SnmatTa tho coffee leaf yields the fayorite tea of the dark skinned population, while Central Afr ca boasts of the Abyssinian chaat as the indigenous warm drink of the Ethi- opian people. Everywhere, unintoxi- eating and non-norcotic beverages are
 in general use-among tribes of every color, beneath every sun, and in every
 condition of life Christian at Work.

cised a moments confidence in the great sacrifice. They are almost immovablo in their position. We can not pre- sent any thing about the religion of Christ that they do not know. The Saviour describes tho fate Of such one in His parable: And that servant which knew his Lords will, and pre- pared not himself, neither did accord- ing to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes" Theories in religion have beauty of their own, but if they result in no warmth of Christian life it is the beauty of hornblende and feld- spar. Do not call such coldness and hardness religion. The River of Life never freezes oyor. Icicles never hang on the caves of Heaven. Soundness of intellectual belief is beautiful cloak, we'll woven and well cut, but in the hour when God shall demand our souls ii will not of itself be sufficient to hide our iniquities.
 My friends, can 1t be that have been unkind and torn from you some hope upon which you were resting for time and eternity? Verify, l would be un- Mind if, having taken away your cloak, did not offer you something better This is cold world, and you want something to wrap around your spirit Christ offers you a robe to-day. He wove it Himself and He will now with His own hand prepare it just to fit your soul. The righteousness He offers is like the coat He used to wear about Judea, with out seam from top to bottom. There is day of doom. Coward would he if l did not dare tell you this. It shall be day of unutterable disappointment to those who have trusted in their officia dignity, in their elegant manners, in their outward morality, ins their soundness of intellectual belief. But I see a soul standing before God who once was thoroughly defiled. Yet look at him and you can not find single transgression anywhere about him. How is this? you ask. Was he not once Sabbath breaker, blasphemer, robber, a perjurer, thief, murderer? Yes, but Christ hath cleansed him. Christ hath lifted him up. Christ hath rent off his rags. Christ hath clothed him in spotless robe of righteous ness. That is the reason why you can not see his former degradation. This glorious hope in Christs name is prof fered today Wandering and wayward soul, is not this salvation worth com ing for worth striving for? Do you wonder that so many with bitter weeping have besought 1t and with very enthusiasm of sorrow cried for Di- vine compassion? Do you wonder at the earnestness of those who stand in pull pits beseeching men to be reconciled to God? Nay, do you wonder at the inn portunity of the Holy Ghost who now striveth with thy soul? In many of the palaces of Europe the walls are mosaic. Fragments of shells and glass are arranged by artists and aggre- gated into pictorial splendor. What made out of broken shells and broken glassl Oh, yes; God grant that by the transforming power of His spirit we may all Do made part of the eternal palaces, our broken and frag- mentary natures polished and shaped and lifted up to make a partof the ever lasting splendors of the Heavenly tenn pie.

Portrait. of White House Ladies.

A portrait of Angelica Van Buren, daughter-in-law of Martin Van Buren, and who presided over tho White House during his administration, has been hung up in the green room of the White House. There arc now four par traits of former mistresses of the White House there, besides the beautiful fdll- length of Martha Washington. The others are Mrs. Polk, Mrs. Tyler and Mrs Hayes. A very strong movement was made to have Mrs. Cleveland's pog- trait painted for the White House. but. curiously enough both she and Ms. Cleveland opposed it effectively. As the youngest lady ever in the White House, and probably that ever will be there, and as very beautiful woman, her portraint would have had singular interest Boston Transcript
