Various Thoughts.
BIZ J. II. Messenger Of Peace.

Philanthropy is the highest order
of virtue.
Let us live better today than we did
yesterday.
The architect should regard utility
more than beauty or grandeur.
The victories of love are lovely: the
victories of hate are hateful.
The victories of peace are precious;
the victories of war are woeful.
To love those who love US is man.
like; but to love those who hate Us is
Christ like.
1t should be an established rule of
life to speak as much good or every
person and as little evil as conscience
dictates, and always commencing
with much pleasure and commencing
with much sorrw.
1t is, at times easier to speak ten
good words ethan perform one good
seIf.denying action.
Earth without philanthropy would
be dreadful hell, and such universal
war would make our beautiful world.
lover all human actions justice, sweet
ly mingled with love and mercy,
should always preside with a meek
dignity.
The truly great and good man is
more sensible of his mental and mora
weaknesses and imperfections than
any one else is.
Tenderness of spirit is distinguish.
ing characteristic of Christianity, and
those persons who have little tender
ness of spirit are little Christians.
One passage of scripture candidly
and prayfully meditated upon, will be
productive of more good to Us than
the whole Bible read in all inattentive,
thoughtiess manner.
The Christian may innocently in
dulge his taste to a great expense, for
the fine art and soft luxuries OF the
world, when all the temporal and spir-
itual wants of every human being are
fully supplied. >.
No human being, when closing bis
ewes forever on all earthly scenes, ever
regretted that he had not spent more
time and money to crafty 1.-The lust OF
the flesh lust of the eye and the
pride of life.n
Wherever we turn our eyes OF
thoughts we meet with wonders and
mysteries and sublimities, extending
and still extending in unlimited ex'
tent, all speaking in language awfully
impressive to US: 1--WE are of yester-
day and know nothing"
What can be more horrible, what
can be more sinful among mankind
than war, and especially when vol
untary engaged in by those men who
profess to love each other as Christ has
loved them, even with plying love
that suffered unto death.

Unlikely Children.

Get grace in your own souls, and
light will be given you to guide your
children. Look at my plants filling
the windows with their great stocky
shoots and healthy leaves. I've a no.
ton they wouldn't grow where there's
envy, hatred, and malice, and all un,
charitableness. guess back biting
and evil-speaking would kill 'em as
soon as coal gas but they amt half as
sensitive as the mind of child. We
must get into the nature Of roses aud
geraniums and try to learn the best
conditions for them, and that's about
all there is in raisinghens or children.
The method requires Il deal of pa
tience, a kind of divine unselllshness
strained and clarified like the best
honey. If you've got weakly, plant,
nurse it, and give it richer earth, and
more air and sun. 1t may in time
bear blossoms that will in time take
the prize ut the flower show. Don't
ever he discouraged with an unlikely
boy or girl, but study out what il
needs, and try, and keep trying, and
by and by will hit Oh the right thing
to bring that weakly one along where
he can begin to grow. If you love
him enough, he may some day stand
ut the head of the lile-class. l always
say folks are like pitchers: there is Il
handle to every disposition, if we only
knew how to take hold of it. Plenty
of folks fail to influence their children
because they get tired searching for
that handle.-Augusta Larned.

An Old Story.
The pussy cat said ,

The pussy cat said,
Az she raised up her head,
And gracefully lifted her dainty paw;
"Dear Robin, I've heard
You're the sweetest bird
That ever a mortal saw"
Don't f1atter me So
It's wrong, you know
Tho better judges have said tho same"
Then the quick blood rushed,
And she biushed and blushed
Down to her bosom Of flame!
"But, you see," said kitty,
ATS such pity
To waste your charms on the desert air,
vow it's shane
For SO rare dame
To pine IN seclusion there"
Then pussy smiled,
And Robin, beguiled
By her gay and treacherous laughter,
Alighted at once
On the ground like Ounce,
And never was heard Of after.

Nashville Christian Advocate.

The power of the pulpit is found in
its essential unworldliness. That in
its utterances, in manner, measure, or
grade there shall be no sem mblance of
the world. That in the preacher him
self there are to be no points of world
ly contact or stain, literally crucified
to the world and the world to him.
Unworldly as Christ, not a nezus of
the breadth of hair binding him to
the world. That great gulf fixed
rolls between him and the world, a
gulf bridged by no lodgings, no re-
grets, no desires on his part.

"BLATuERsKITE." - The word
charlottesville" in its origin is Scotch,
being composed Of the Scotch blather'
blether, equivalent to the German
bladden, to talk nonsense, and skate,
into skite, term OF con-
tempt. The original meaning was
"one who talks nonsense in Il bluster-
ing manner.n From this comes the
present meaning, a good-ior-naught, Il
man who talks too much. The Wofd
is rood English.

ARBITRATOR.

Our friend DR.. Bichet informs US
that the Ex-Emperor of Brazil, Don
Pedro, has enrolled his name as a
foundation member of the french So
ciete d' Arbitrage. On certain occa-
sion Garibaldi said, "King Victor is
no king like another, but, verify NOT
BILE as we are." Don Pedro's action
shows that he is monarch unlike the
common run of kings. Neither he
nor we have forgotten that he was
compelled to abdicate, not by his peo.
pie, but by a military pronunciamen-
to.

Christian Standard and Home Journal :

Average human nature, as we now
find it in its present fallen condition,
is poor dependence for mercy and
pity, charity and justice, and, above
all, for "good for evil" Generally,
blow meets blow, law sues out every
appeal to law, eye must be given for
eye, tooth for tooth, and both cheeks
must redden before the strife is over,
If life itself does not pay the forfeit of
ill-hature, evil dispositions, carnality
and passion. But the precepts of
Christ rise into the unearthly. They
are singular from their very unworld-
illness. They seem almost impractica-
BILE and impossible under such unfa-
vorable human conditions. They
seem to men generally as almost un-
just in the sacrifices that they require. 4
Philosophers investigate them incred-
ulously. Statesmen prefer armies and
navies, Notifications and warlike ap-
pliances. Nonresistance is regarded
as Utopian dream, to be realized on
ly in the Millennium. The lion does
not yet lie down with the lamb.
Bolts and bars must needs be put upJ
on every house. But it is this ineffa-
ble unearthliness that stamps the di-
vinity Of Ch1ist's teachings. 6saE-

aTHE:.SsTRUE ATT1TUDE.-A very
marked change has taken place in the.
attitude'o the leading religious papers,
on reaching theimasses.t and the rela-
ton Of the SPIRITUAL condition Of the
Church to that subjecr.E Sometime
back they held with warmth of feel
ing that the Church was ripe for its
work, and coming up well to the New
Testament demands, and to present
opportunities. But they see the mat
ter in another and truer light now
that the spiritual condition of the
Church has every thing to do with
reaching the. masses, and that the
main obstacle to this lies in the low
spiritual condition of the Church.
The NeW York Observer had a most !.
timely and sensible article Oh this
subject recently, which closes thus:
"Let US seek to reach the Church.

Welded THE CoACHMAN.
BinghamtOn, NY, Society Stirred Up
Over Miss Phelps Marriage.

Miss Lizzie Phelps, who is said to have
comfortable fortune of Sz50.000. was joined in
wedlock, in Bingham ton, Ny. at 8 o'clock
yesterday afternoon to William Slattery. the
family coachman. The marriage. which wits
performed by Rev. Samuel Dunbar, caused an
enlargement between the brides friends and
her family. The ceremony was very simple.
No one was present except the young woman's
banker and her mother. who accompanied the
young couple to Alton, where the groom has
purchased a business block and will begin a
mercantile career. Norman Phelps. the father,
it is claimed by the groom, has gone TO New
York. He was accompanied by his daughter
Emma Fannie, who is engaged to young man
of that city
The Phelps family is one Of the oldest and
wealthiest III that section and occupy a mansion
at Port Dickson, q beautiful suburb of B.ng-
hamton. Their wealth. refinement and culture
made them prominent figures in exclusive cir
cles, although the girls seldom appeared in So
ciety. The mother was very strict and until
recently seldom allowed the daughters to en-
terrain male acquaiEtances.
The death of Sherman d. Phelps some years
ago left large fortune to be divided between
his Two sons-RObert and Arthur. Robert mar
ried, but upon the death of The two boys and
Roberts wife each of the judges nieces-Iiz-
Zle, Emma and Fannie-became heiresses to a
large fortune.
Two years ago William Slattery of Castle
Greek, y. u, was hired as a coachman BIZ the
patents Of the old judges neces. He won tine
good grices OF the iamily, and after time was
treated like a member, occupying a chair It the
same table. Fannie, the youngest, fell in love
with the coachman. who had little else but a
fair endowment of good looks to recommend
him to her favor, and an engagement resulted:
but Fannie was Tilted for the elder sister Stat
terys father was sent TO prison about twelve
Years ago.
