"You know Miss -, who lives on
Seventeenth street?" asked maiden
with short curly, blonde hair of COM

two exchanged condolences in the cor

afternoon.

eyes.
"Do you know how she became so
popular in society?" pursued she with
the short hair.
Haven't the least idea"
well, you know she was at the sea-
shore last summer She had the good
luck to become acquainted with a news
paper reporter, and he hoated her in
the swim. When anything took place
her name was foremost among those
who participated. Everybody saw it,
and she has become the co."
"And does the newspaper reporter
continue in her good graces?" innocent
ly inquired the brown-eyed maiden.
Horrors! No, you silly goose. She
has no further use for him."
"That's real mean," observed the
other.
''Now, do you know" continued she
with the short hair, "that have re-
solved to become acquainted with some
reporter when go to the

THEY ADMIRED THE SERMON.
A Touching Discourse Heard by Two
Pleus Society MaldcRs.

Alice--Oh, mother, we've had
such u beautiful sermon!
Eva-Loveiy!
Kate-Most eloquehtl
Mother--I am the more sorry
that this swollen face has kept me
away from church. Who was the
preacher?
Alice-A stranger. The verger
could not tell us his name.
Eva-But most striking-look-
ing man.
Kate-And his voice was heav-
enly.
Aliee-And we shall never forget
what he said.
Mother-What was his text?
Eva-His textl Let me see. Alice,
where was his text?
Aaice-I-I think it was from st.
Luke.
Kate--Oh Alicel How can you
say so? Why, it was from Deuter-
tonomy.
Alice-That / am sure it was
sure it was not. Why, he kept
talking of the Evangelist.
Mother-Perhaps, my dears, if
you told me the words 1 should
know the place.
Aliee--I never could remember
words.
Eva--Nor /.
Kate-They don't think anything
OF mere verbal repetition at the
high school.
Mother-But I should like to
CLEAN some information of this very
beautiful sermon. What was it
about?
Alice CATER pause)-well, moth
er, it was aboutr-it was about-re-
iigion.
Mother-I presume so, but that
is rather wide subject and capa-
BILE of very varied treatment. What
particular branch of it did he take
up?
Eya-Oh mother! his action was
so graceful-not too violent, YOU
know, but just sufficient to enforce
attention.
Mother-And, as it was sufficient
to enforce attention, am waiting
to hear a few particulars of what
he said.
Alice-There were some ST. liking
anecdotes.
Kate-Yes; that one about the
bear, for instance, A Laplander was
once pursuing bear
Eva-Now, Kate! the bear was
him.
Kate-Well, it was one way or
the other. And the Laplander had
Bible in his breast pocket, which
his mother had given him.
Eva-No; his grandmother.
Alice-1t was not a Laplander at
all. You are confusing it with an
other anecdote. 1t was young
English sailor.
Kate-Well, Laplander or Eng
lish sailor, or whatever he was, he
was just close to the bear when
Eva-You are missing out the
best part of the story. Before he
started his grandmother had said
to him
Kate-Oh, yes; but, if you re-
member, he had first said to his
grandmother
Eva--you are quite wrong.
Kate-Do let me go on. At all
events he and his grandmother
heen talking together
Alice-You forget, Kate, that
the grandmother was deaf and
dumb. That was the touching part
of the story. So she pointed to the
Kate-Nonsepse, Alice, am sure
The grandmother--
Mother-I am afraid, dears, you
Will not make much of that anec-
dote. But let me know the main
drift and design of the sermon.
Eva-Mother, dear, you are a
little tiresome. You cannot expect
us to repeat the sermon right off.
1T gave us great deal of most ex-
cellent advice.
Mother-In reference to what?
Eva-Oh, our conduct, 1 never
heard one more calculated to do
good, The illustrations were es-
pecially clever.
Mother-As for instance
Eva-It would be impossible to

arate them from the context.

drop the Illustrations. 1 shall be

course.

heads.

Sermons md Prayers.

Mr.. Sturgeon recently revealed q
little OF his own individuality while
reviewing a book on Methodism In
Yorkshire, by evincing delight with
this criticism OF sermon,
"Ah say, mister. you preeched q
goodish sermon tonight but II it had
been cut short at heath ends and set
a-fire in the middle it wad dean us

Mr.. Spurgeon scarcely remembers
a better criticism" than this and says
that it might be applied to many OF
the discourses and speeches which
one hears nowadays.
Another story tells OF a not very
fluent young man, who, being in the
habit OF saying in his prayers, Lord,
help me to pray" was answered one
night by an old mans ejaculation,
"And the Lord help thee to give
over"
How heartily" remarks Mr.. Spur
geon, could we say Amen TO such q

Mr.. Sturgeon also likes tho story OF
the clergyman, who. at a noisy prayer
meeting, commended silence and
said

deaf. Now, don't you think you could
pray little more quietly?"
