He Was Just Right.

Cyrus Field will not keep in with
the boys" if he continues to follow the
course which he has adopted with GER
tain boy, recently. He gave the lad
three cents for unchecking his horse at
a wayside trough, and explained to his
wagon companion: never give more
than that for a small service. l think
the reckless way of throwing ten cents
and quarter to poor boys is harmful,
as it leads them to expect more than
their work is worth, and they do not
value what they earn so easily. A
penny for such service would pay the
boy; then why should l give him a
larger sum?"-PittSfen Journal.

The Caravel Santa Maria.

Among the exhibition attractions is
to be facsimile of the caravel Santa
Maria, in which Columbus sailed. 1t
is proposed to have this caravel as
nearly exact as possible. 1t will be
manned by Spanish sailors in the cos
tune of the time of Columbus, and it
will be rugged with the same sort of
rigging that he used. There will be
on board copies of the same charts that
he had, fdcsinlileS of the same nautical
instruments. The crew will be of the
same number, and it has been sug-
gested that to carry out the truth of
history there should be in the crew an
Englishman and an Irishmap, for ac-
cording to Navarrete, the eminent
Spanish historian, William Harris, an
Englisbman, and Arthur Lake, an Irish
man, were members of Columbus
crew. There will also be notary on
board wearing the ancient costume,
and representatives. of all other
fur ctionaEes who accompanied Column
bus. 1t is prSsosed to have this vessel
make its first appearance at the grand
naval review which is to take place in
the barbor of New York, where the
little ship will he saluted by the mon
strous cruisers Of modern invention
representing all the navies of the world.
AT the close of the naval review it is
proposed to have this vessel trans
fer.ed, with ceremony, by the repre-
sentative of the government Of Spain,
to the pres ident of the United States.
and then have it towed through the
lakes and Welland Canal to Chicago,
where it will be one of the most inter
esting features of the exposition.

Moral ann Relisious.
Christian ExclusivenesS.

The Christian Register, writing on re-
ligious exclusiveness, says: " Religious
exclusiveness is no better than other
excusiveness; it Is just as mean, hate
full and uugenerous. The barriers
which it rears to separate men do not
bring them any nearer to God. Hap
PLY, men are coming to see that there
are more roads than one to heaven;
that they do not all start from Rome or
jerusalem. Wherever God has any
children, there his fdtherhood is ex-
hibited. 1t may be exhibited inecor-
rection and discipline, but the great
process of education goes on. Man
kind cannot be divided into elect and
reprobates. 1t is given to no sect or
to no being on earth to pre-empt the
future life." Certainly not" we re-
join, so far as pre-empting the future
life is concerned; but if our contempo-
rary means to say that there is any way
to heaven other than through faith in
the Lamb of God, we shall have TO pro-
test against such an Interpretation of
the gospel. That gospel is wonderfully
inclusive, proclaiming free and world
wide salvation, and yet it is sufficiently
exclusive to warrant, aye and to de-
mand, constant enforcement of this
side of the truth. Otherwise the apos-
tie Peter spoke to no purpose when,
speaking of Jesus of Nazareth, he said :
"Neither is there salvation in any
other; for there is none other name
under heaven, given among men,
whereby we must be saved" 1t is not
necessary for us to attempt to divide
men. They place themselves within
. or without the pale of salvation by their
own reception or rejection of Christ.
This is the dividing line as he reveals
it. {" He that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved; and he that believeth
not shall be damned" We claim that
the line is here laid down with sim
plicity, definiteness and solemnity that
will serve for all nations and for all
time. This is the gospel message
blessedly inclusive, solemnly exclusive.
There is no other We do not know
what our contemporary may mean by
" the great process of education," but
he who best knows the evil of mans
sin and the requirements of divine JUS
tice said Ye must be born again.
Salvation is matter of regeneration
rather than of education. We fear that
some who call themselves Christians
hold very emasculated conception OF
the early portion of the third chapter
of John.-New York Observer.

Emerson Sides With the Good Wife.

When Emerson visited Dundee he
was Gilfllan's guest at the manse. A
story is told Of this visit, that after sup
per, when the time drew near for
family worship, Gilfilan took Emerson
and showed him to his room. When
the household assembled, Mrs. Cliff au
observed that Mr.. Emerson was not
present. She said quietly to Gilfllan,
"Where is Mr.. Emerson ?" Gilfllan
sal she has gone to his bedroom. +"
Have you not asked him to come to
Worship" "No, l don't think he
would like it. His views are very differ
ent from ours. 1t might embarrass
him." "Never mind that, George, 90
and ask him" He went up stairs to
Emerson's room and found the philos-
opher with his coat off, sitting on the
bed. He said, 1.-THE goodwife, Mr..
Emerson, wants you down to worship.
Will you come ?" "Of course | wil.''
said Emerson, and went. Afterwards
he said, with reference to this incident,
81 thought more of the goodwife in
that matter than the goodman" -En

BigOts to LiberaIity.

These are days in which to be heret-
ical is to be popular, while to be ortho-
dox is to expose ones self to contumely
and abuse. The martyrs of to-day are
not those who attack, but those who
have the courage TO defend, the old
faiths. The complaints of "perse Gu
ton" and "heresy hunting" may
usually be resolved into this: that men
are 10th to give up fat salaries and
places that confer distinction, even
though salary and place can honorably
belong only to one who holds the or
thodoX faith. Things seem really to
be reversed. 1t is the heretics now
that pers ecute, that hurl anathemas,
that indulge in loud-voiced and fiery
denunciations. In all the recent heresy
cases, the moderation and self restraint
of the orthodox party has been as con-
spicuous as the Incorporate and un.
charitable language of the heretics and
their defenders. Just why the advo.
Gates of a more liberal theology should
be so illiberal in spirit is problem not
easy to be solved. Why should big
oted scorn of opponents be the chief
"note " of those who profess scorn OF
bigotly? Why should there be such a
tone of dogmatic certainty in the cur.
rent denunciations of dogmatism?
Would that all the orthodox Christians
could be brought to hold their nominal
beliefs with such energy of conviction
as is shown by those whose creed is
that there should be no creeds. 1t re-
quires an uncommon portion of the
grace of God to enable one to tolerate
such intolerance as is daily shown by
the advocates of federation. -Nev York

Why Some People Insist on Getting
Drank.

Even after physical restraint has been
faithfully persevered in for long periods,
many of those who have been subjected to
it, resume the habit of getting drunk soon
after they are set at liberty. They do this
simply because they want to. Drunken
ness is a mode of enjoyment for them
They either do not believe it to be injurious !,
or, if so believing, they drink and know
ingly take the consequences. Not long ago
a patient said to me: Doctor, you may
lock me up and surround me by guards
when / go out, and you may advise me as
much as You please, and you may continue
this system of treatment for ten years or
more, and when you stop it and pass from
under your charge, I shall get drunk.
shall do so because like to get drunk.
am free citizen of this country, and have
right to get drunk if wish to do So" In
this connection it may be stated that many
persons continue to drink to excess be-
cause they believe they have moral right
to do so if they choose, and they feel that it
is an outrage upon their personal liberty to
subject them to restraint. AS to moral sua-
sion the third of our means of cure, it is
mainly successful with those unfortunate
but intelligent persons who strongly desire
to be cured. 1t is with these that the ad-
vice of physician in whom they have con-
ddence, the encouragement that he is able
to give them, and the charity toward their
failings which his knowledge of human ma
ture gives him, prove most successful
These are the patients to whose honor we
can trust with the most confidence, and
these are the ones who are most generally
cured.-Dr. william, Il. Hammond, in North
american RerieU.

NOT A WOMAN TO TRIFLE WIT n

found that she was married to Lee.
He got divorce, aud then Lee got
lie and had the marriage performed
anew.
His ground for divorce now Is cruel
~. He weighs only 100 pounds, while
his wife weighs $50. ae says she
would take him and toss him up 70
the ceiling and allow him to drop to
the floor, just to see how it sounded,
and when he onstrated with her
she would drop him out of the win
dow. Judge Th~yer told him that
when he was once free from her he
should have sense enough to remain
that way, aud that, so far as the court
was concerned, Mr. Lee would have
to take his medicine. Lee talks of
running away, but his wife says she
will take care of that.

RACED FOR A WIFE.
A Pretty Girl Was the Prize That
Sailor and a Marine Con-
fRnHah Epr-

tended For.
A race for q wife livened up the
monotony of life at the League Island
navy yard, Philadelphia, a day or two
ago. Among the visitors to the re-
ceiving ship, st. Louis, twice week
for a month, has been Miss Kate Me-
Coy, a rather pretty woman of 81 or
thereabouts. Bernard Burns, a ma
rine, and George Lindsay, u sailor,
became smIUten, and she was asked to
decide between them. This she could
not do, as she liked them both.
The men were friends, ana they de-
cided to end the trouble by tOotrace,
the winner to take the bride. The
course selected was Broad street
south from Jackson into the navy
yard. The commandant, q file OF
marines, and all the sailors I'm port
gathered at the finish. The start was
at 8 O'Clock, the men getting of at the
crack of the pistol. Burns stands
about feet inches In height, and
weighs about two hundred pounds,
while his opponent, Lindsay, is Q
short, lean fellow, who Is very wiry.
When the pistol was fired 10th got
away at q rapid gait and keptabreast
as tar as the tracks of the Green wich
Point extern sion OF the Pennsylvania
railroad. Here Burns lost his wind,
and Lindsay got ahead and staid
ahead, and when he reached the end
OF the course Burns was out of sight
in all senses OF the word. The woman
will become Mrs. Lindsay.
