AL NIGHT ON THE POTOMAC.
A Washington School Girl said She
Would Go Home and She Went

A Warrington School Girl said She
Would Go Home and She Went.
Friday there were two excursions to
Marshall Hall, one on the Corcoran snd
the other on the Manchester, the CorcO-
ran carrying the High school combina-
ton. In the evening about the hou for
returning a young girl of sixteen and n
lad of eighteen, possibly, were seated on
the piazza of the house talking, as young
people are liable TO do in the cleaning.
They heard the warning whistle of a
boat at the pier, but thought it was not
the CorCOran and went not. A few mo
ments after, however, they concluded it
would be better to go down and see, and
when they got there their boat had gone.
They tried TO get the Manchester, but
missed that boat.
Now, here was a pretty pickle, and
the young girl almost had a fit, but she
soon recovered and vowed she would go
home some way, even if she had to swim.
The servants at the house insisted that
the ladies living there be awakened and
the young girl go in with them, but she
demurred and asked about n rowboat.
1t was finally learned that boats were to
be had a mile or so up the river, and
taking the helpless young man under
her arm she started off in the darkness
to the place designated. Arriving there
safely, she got the boat and We men TO
row it, and assuming command she put
her escort aboard, wrapped herself in his
macintosh and set sail for home, where
she sIid her mother was awaiting her.
About 1880 there came up a terrific
rain, and the girl wa out there OF the
Potomac in an open boat taking it all
The old skipper at the bow oar said he
had never seen an angrier sky. But the
girl said never a word, except n or two
of encouragement to the rowers and to
her escort, who in his nice light spring
suit was dripping and shivering by her
side. The boat filled half full of water
mi there was no way of bailing it out,
but still they kept on. Then the rain
stopped and the biting north wind came
down n the crew and passengers were
nearly frozen, and the young mans
clothes were blown dry on his back and
he was as blue as Monday and his teeth
chartered.
At 1870 in the morning they put in at
Alexandria, but only to find no train or
ferry for two hours, and the girl gave
the command I'd move on to Washington,
and once more the tiny bark breasted
the waves and the sturdy oarsmen bent
beneath their stroke, and the young man
shivered aud shivered and wanted to
throw bricks at his COMPOUNDED luck.
AT $3.50 they landed Mt the wharf, and,
after paying the men ten dollars for their
heroic all night work, the young fellow
followed the girl to tho street ears and
they came up town.-Washington Star.

CHRLSTLAN ENDEIrOR.

The Young Peoples Society of Chris,
~neapolis is a sudden and extraordinary
outgrowth of modern church work and
needs. 1t was organized in the study OF
Dr.. Francis +. Clark, pastor of the Willis
ton church in Portland, Me in 1851. 1t
is therefore Just ten years old. In that
time it has spread into every state and
territory, into Canada and the British
provinces, into England. Germany and
Europe generally, into Africa, China and
Japan. 1t numbers over 10000 distinct
societies with a membership of over
1000 900. It is essentially q society of
young people, but this limitation has rel
erencc to youthful spirit and activity
rather than TO age. Its founders say hat
it was born Of the religious necessities OF
the time. The church needed the young
as much as the young the church. says
cure ITS conversion, and provide a sphere
for its exercise was the imperative aues-
ton. For a quarter of a century the
church had been feeling after some agency
of power, if haply it might find it. Here
and there individual pastors were break
ing through the traditions, customs and
beliefs of former DAYS. Their hearts
yearned not only Tor the salvation of the
young, but also for their sympathy and
help. The whole church needed revivinV.
1t needed lie and power. as the human
system constantly needs the introduction
of new blood and the growth oil new It's
sue"
The pledge which each member gives
presents a very good idea OF the cause OF
the society's success. 1t is as follows:
Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for
strength, | promise him that | will strive
TO do whatever He would like to rave me
do; that | will make it the rule of my life
TO pray and to read the Bible every .4y:
that will support my own church n
every way, especially BY attending all her
regular Sunday aud mid-week services.
unless prevented by some reason winch
can conscientiously give to my Saviour,
and that, just 80 far as [ know how
throughout my whole life, | will endeavor
10 lead a Christian life.
As an active member, | promise to be
true to all my duties, to be present at, and
to take some part, aside from singing, in
every Christian Endcayor prayer meeting,
unless hindcred by some reason which !
can consclenciOuslY give to my Lord and
Master. If Obliged to be absent from the
monthly conservation meeting of the soci
ETY. | will, if possible, send at least a verse
OF Scripture to be read in response to my
name at the roll call.
The society is Instrumentation but is
never organized except in connection with

EVIL Effects OF Catarrh.

1t has been the rule to consider nasal catarrh
almost entirely a local disease, and one that
has very little effect upon the general system,
All this is being rapidly disproved, and II Is
being shown that II the nose is in an I'M
healthy state there is quite n long list of affec-
tlons which may be induced in consequence.
Hay fever has often been cured by applica-
tions to certain points IN the nasal passages.
Asthma, also, has yielded to the same treat
ment. 1t is "A we'll known fact that when the
victim OF catarrn suffers from dyspepsia
scarcely any Improvement in the latter can
be made, no matter what is done for IT., until
the former Is on the gain.
Evidence is not wanting to show that severe
functional disturbances of the lungs, and even
OF the heart, arp sometimes induced by nasal
trouble. Recently there was reported the case
of a woman who had had epilepsy for several
years, and, although she had patiently sought
relief, no Improvement took place until appll-
cations were made to her nose and its condi-
tion improved. Under that line of treatment
entire recovery occurred. Very many other
cases are on record which show that the rela-
ton OF the nose and other parts OF the system
is very intimate, the connection being, OF
course, through the nerve system.

AT REST.


Poor girl!
Fold her hands, cross her feet,
Leave her to her slumber sweet;
She hath earned 1t well.
Every day for many years
Cause had she for bitter tears.
And they daily fell
See the hOlIows In her cheek,
Marks OF woe she could not speak:
See her sunken eye.
Worn and wasted Is her frame.
None too soon her slumber came;
Touch her tenderly.
Hard as iron was her fate:
Life for her was desolRte,
Full Of y~earnings vain
Sympathy and loving care
Fell not to poor MAry's share,
Wake her not again
All she trusted faithless proved,
Every creature that she loved
shortly changed, or died.
Good II Is for her 10 rest,
Seldom. sure, was human breast
More severely tried.
often has she slept before,
Dreaming woe was hers no more,
Life and sorrow past;
But from such delusivo sleep
Ever more she woke TO weep
Peace is hers at last.
Poor girl
True and tender hearted one;
Hard 1t was that death alone
Comfort had for her.
Fold her hands, cross her feet,
Lay her, robed all white and sweet,
In the sepulchre.

CAMPBELL RENOMINATED.

The Flank 10 the Ohio Democratic plat
form endorsing free silver shows every To-
dication that the white metal has become a
live issue in that state. There is nothing
perfunctory in the language, 1t is n plain

terpreted or misunderstood. We regard
1t as a very hopeful indication Of victory
for silver that Ohio Democrats should

phasis.
Notwithstanding the opposition to
Governor Campbell II Hamilton.

ton followed almost as a matter of course.

We are panied to be called upon to

William HI. Griffith, son of Comrade

permanent benefit, and returned after
