Al INEXPLICABLE MYSTERY.
How any woman keeps house with
out the religion Of Christ to help her is
q mystery to me To have to spend
the greater part of ones life, as many
women do, in planning for the meals,
in stitching garments that will soon be
rent again. and deploring breakages,
and supervising tardy subordinates,
and driving off dust that soon again
will settle, and doing the same thing
day in and day out, and year in and
year out, until their hair silvers, and
the back stoOps, and the spectacles
crawl to the eyes, and the grave breaks
open under the thin sole of the shoe
oh, it is a long monotOny! But when
Christ comes to the drawing room, and
comes to the kitchen, and comes to the
nursery, and comes to the dwelling,
then how CHEEKY become all womanly
duties. She is never alone now. Mar
tina gets through fretting and joins
Mary at the feet of Jesus
All day long Deborah is happy be-
cause she can help Lapidoth; Hannah,
because she can make a coat for young
Samuel; Miriam, because she can watch
her infant brother; Rachel, because she
can help her father water the stock;
the widow of Sarepta, because the
cruise of oil is being replenished. o
woman! having in your pantry a nest of
boxes containing all kinds of condi-
ments, why have you not tried in your
heart and life the spicery of our holy
religion? martha! Martha! thou art
careful and troubled about many things;
but one thing is needful, and Mary hath
chosen that good part which shall not
be taken away from her"
l must confess that a great deal of
the religion of this day is utterly in
sipid There is nothing piquant or ele-
waiting about it. Men and women go
around humming psalms in a minor
key, and culturing melancholy, and
their worship has in it more signs than
rapture. We do not doubt their piety.
Oh, no. But they are sitting at a feast
where the cook has forgotten to season
the food. Everything is fiat in their
experience and in their conversation
Emancipated from sin and death and
hell and on their way to a magnificent
heaven, they act as though they were
trudging on toward an everlasting
Botany bay. Religion does not seem
to agree with them. 1t seems to catch
in the windpipe and become a tight
stranguIation instead of an exhi1ara-
ton.
All the infIdel books that have been
writes, from Voltaire down to Herbert
Spen.sor, have not done SO much dam
age to our Christianity US lugubriOus
Christians. Who wants a religion
woven out of the shadows of the night2
Why go growing on your way to celes-
tial enthrOnement? Come out of that
cave, and sit down in the warm light
of the Sun of Righteousness. Away
with your odes to melancholy and
Hervey's "Meditations Among the
Tombs!"

HIS WISDOM.

More than this, he had great repu-
tatiOn for the cOnundrums and riddles
that he made and guessed He and
King Hiram, his neighbor, used to sit
by the hour and ask riddles, each one
paying in money if he could not answer
or guess the riddle. The SOlomonic
navy visited all the world, and the sail
ors. of course. talked about the wealth
Of their king, and about the riddles and
enigmas that he made and solved; and
the news spread until Queen Balkis,
away off south, heard Of it, and sent
messengers with a few riddles that she
would like to have Solomon solve, and
a few puzzles which she would like to
have him find out. She sent among
other things to King Solomon a dia-
mond, with Il hole so small that a
needle could not penetrate it, asking
him to thread that diamond. And
Solomon took a worm and put it at
the opening in the diamond, and the
worm crawled through, leaving the
thread in the diamond.
The queen also sent a goblet to Sol
ONION, asking him to fill it with water
that did not pour from the sky, and
that did not rush out from the earth;
and Immediately Solomon put a slave
on the back of swift horse and gal
lope1 him around and around the park
until the horse was nigh exhausted,
and from the perspiratiOn the horse
the goblet was filled. She also sent
King Solomon five hundred boys in
girls dress and five hundred girls in
boys dress, wondering if he would be
acute enough to find out the deception.
Immediately Solomon, when he saw
them wash their faces knew from the
way they applied the water that it was
all a cheat.
Queen Ball1is was so pleased with the
acuteness of Solomon that she said,
IN just go and see him for myself"

nine Appellate Judges by sending the
names of the gentlemen he has select

to have kept his own counsel, as he
usually does in such matters, SO the
announcement Of the appointment has
not been discounted by any previous

we have no doubt that the best in

the most of these appointments.
