Chapel Services.

Rev. Father Murphy preached from the 1epistle
read on the second Sunday in Lent-Thess w.
1-S. The chaplain said that the scripture lesson
which had been read was one calculated to inspire
us with a sense of the honor with which God has
clothed us by calling us unto sanctifcation. These
earnest words of Paul, the teacher of nations ex-
horting us tn awaken to a sense of our duties as
the consecrated children of God, should burn
them selves upon the tablets Of our memory. We
should arouse ourselves from our state of
and give the strength of our whole being to the
working out of our salvation. 1t is cur habit to
follow the fashion of the day and float along with
the current regardless of whether we please God
or not. We are the architects of our own fortunes.
To secure sanctfcation we must regulate our
lives to please God God created us for Himself.
You were not created for generals or governors or
for any earthly honors, but for something higher
you were created to dwell with God throughout
eternity. You cannot find contentment in this
world because it is not meant that you should be
satisfied until you have reached the greatness for
which you were created. you were like the
The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1891-02-26

beasts who are created for earth alone and find
perfect happiness here, then you would be per-
fectly contented with the things this world affords
Then. seeing to what greatness and honors you
are called, why do you like foolish children
run after the empty baubles of the world? You
should keep in mind the great honor God has
placed upon your shoulders-an honor greater
than that enjoyed by the archangels. You should
bear yourself as becomes the honorable station
For instance, suppose a man has been raised to u
place of great Importance that confers high hon
ors upon the incumbent. You observe that a great
change takes place in that man, a change so
marked that you consider him another man. You
do not regard him the man you had formerly
known. That is as it should be- Men should feel
the great responsibilities and should comport
themselves so as to make others respect that high
and honorable office they represent. What posi-
ton do we occupy the chileren of God by divine
ordinance? We are to participate in the divine
nature. How should we live as the children of
God in order to harmonic with our high connec-
tions? Do the works of God, obey His commands
and follow the teachings of Christ who was sent
to show us the way. AS Christians we have re-
nounced the ways of the world and should there.
for live according to the dignity we have as the
children of God. We must obey the command
ments of God which are not hard, for He loves us
and seeks us wherever we 60. There is not bet
ter time to begin preparation for exalted des.
tiny than in this holy season of Lent.

The Decline of the Sailor.

Rather severe criticisms on our nav! are appearing !: the English journals The critics admit we have as good naval officers as any, but say that what shipa we have are manned by Englishmen, lrishmen, Germans, Scandinavians and negroes. This is true in time of peacei for first rate American sailor men can make more than $21.50 a month ashore. But once the signal of war comes, and the promise of prize money and adventure, end there would be little room for much ot the poor material now manning the yards. The great fleet that Farragut led past the Mississippi forts was manned with Gloucester fishermen-men who, un- uke tho average blue jacket, combine q keen intelligence with strength and dar ing.
 The day of the "square rigger" is gcnc by, for the modern war ship has 10 sails, snd quick hand at the gun sight ana block, tackle and gearing is more in de mand than one that can hand, reef, and steer. Indeed, it is curious study tt watch how, in the war ship of today, the tailor is declining and the engineer and nachinist advancing. Perhaps in the future the crew of a war ship will be com posed of three classes Only-scientists, en gincers and coal beavers or oil feeders.- Scientific American.

A Story with 8 Moral.

Near a railroad crossing where trains frequently waited for connection berries were very plentiful Two women con. ceived the idea of making little money by selling fresh berries to the hot and dusty travellers. They forthwith put their idea into execution, and were soon passing through the waiting trains offer. ing the fruit for sale. One invariably made ready sales, selling out before she had gone through 8 train; the other al. ways had berries left unsold, and some. times she failed to sell any. One made q handsome little "pile" by the end of the season; the other questioned whether she had been paid for her time.
 The reason for the success of tho one and the failure of the other was not hard to find. It all lay in the manner of ser vice. One of these women wos careless and untidy in her appearance the other was scrupulously clean and neat; one measured her berries from her basket in a cup, filling it with her hands as she passed through the train; the other made up little paper holders lined with fresh green leaves, and these she filled with beET.ss before the train arrived. No one wonders which would sell the best.
 Probably some baker or confectinr., nay suspect small sized moral lying ,round loose hereabouts.-American Gro.

Rabbits Versus Sheep Raising

Americans have dual reason for con sern in thetreatment of the rabbit pest it Australia Upon the abatement of the pest depends in very great degree the sheep raising industry of that south sea continent which plays such an important part in the wool market of the world, anC what is the pest of Australia today may threaten large agricultural area in the United States tomorrow.
 Some idea of how sheep raising in Aus ,ralia has been interrupted by the plague of English rabbits may be gained from tho following facts: At one station in Victoria, which under skillful management pas tured 1000 sheep, the incursion of rab bits reduced the stock to 1,200 sheep found by the visitor "dying in paddock at the homestead" The rabbits had to account for the deficiency. All that good manage nent, backed by abundant capital, could do had been inc Teclual to stay the progress of the rabbits They had eaten up ant destroyed all the grass and heritage; the, had parked all the edible shrubs ant bushes. and bad "latterly themselves be gun to perRh in thousands. s."-Chicagt News

THERE never was shown a more

THERE never was shown a more honorable disposition on the part of any set of men than that by the gen. tlemen who last year succeeded in defeating the disincorporation of the city of Tombstone. At that time those opposed to disincorporation said to the voters "wait till the legislature meets and we will father a bill to re- duce expenses, lop off useless offices and reduce the expenses of running the city to a minimum, but we will never agree to disincorporation." The dis patch from Phenix last night, telling of the passage of the economy bill through the house by a unanimous vote proves that they were in earnest when they made the promise to the taxpayers during the prog ress of the disincorporation campaign. Although the bill will throw out of office men who were elected for two  years they will not be disappointed as they must certainly have expected just such legislation. The appoint. ment of committee by the mayor to look into the matter of economy was the parent of the rolling stone which went through the house without gath ering any moss to impede it's progress. The bill is surely we'll named "The City Economy Bill" and to the city council and the mayor and those who aided in carrying out the reform which they promised to do, the citi- gers of Tombstone owe debt of gratitude.

Charles Summers Charming Letters.


 Senator Sumner had happy way oi writing to any one whose work pleased im as author, oiator, painter, sculptor ol musician. Many authors have been made happy by his expressions of appreciation. lnngsellow, Whittier, Holmes, Lowell, Motley, Prescott, ct id genus omne, have Teen laid under contribution by the sena. tors biographer, and the letters Sumner ssrote them while hot from their works will make very interesting reading. There are those across the water who can con tribute to his biography charming letters of appreciation, and among them Juan Ingelow, who received several of great force. He had an especially warm side for young authors of merit, and many a one of them, now of established reputa- ton, owes much to his discriminating praise, and his encouragement to press on, to elevate and purify their taste, and, aNove all, Ito work, work, work" To o.e he wrote: "Who shall say that the power to work is not itself genius?"
 It was his way to write to speaker i'm mediately after he had heard or read his speech. Schuyler Colfax came to the front in speech on the Kansas question, which showed him to be man of mark. Sumner on that same night wrote him Q letter of thanks, couched in such terms that the young orator showed it to doubt. Ing friends as an evidence that at least one leading man did not deem him too rash. The letter found it's way into print, and soon it was regarded as happily vOicinG the views of the party, and Republics ns generally indorsed Summers indorsement, and Colfax was @ made man.
 So thoroughly necessary was it deemed to have Summers stamp on a rising repu tation that he was sometimes importuned to do for others what he had done for Col. fax. "Let him." Sumner said to one suitor, 'make such @ speech as Colfax made, and will write him such letter as wrote Colfax. ."-Arnold Burges JOhu. son in The Cosmopolitan.

Negro CAbina in KanfnckY.

Looking out the doors and windows ol hle cabins, loungiAg in the doorways, leaning over the low frame fences, gath aripg into quickly forming, quickly dis rolting groups in the dusty streets, they swarm; they are here from m1lkwhite through all deepening shades to glossy Alackness; octOrOOns, quadrOOns, mulat' r,es, some with large, liquid, black eyes, refined features, delicate forms; working, Yossip:ng, higgling over prices around Q vegetable cart, discussing last nights .hurch festival, today's funeral or next weeks railway excursion, sleeping, plan rinp how to get work and how to escapa 1t. From some unseen old figure in fam. boy ant turban, bending over the washiub in the rear of a cabin, comes a croOned song of indescribable pathos; behind a h If closed front shutter, Moorish hued smOroso in gay linen thrulns his banjo in measure of ecstatic gayety, preluding the more passionate melodies of the coming night. Here fight; there the sound of the fiddle and the rhythmic batting of hands. Tatters and silks Haunt them- ,elves side by side. Dirt and cleanliness lie down together. Indolence goes hand in hand with thrift. Superstition dogs tho slow footsteps of reason. Passion and belf control eye each other all day long across the narrow way. If there is any. where resolute virtue, all round it is @ weltered muck of low and sensual desire. One sees all the surviving types of old f,egro life here crowded together with and entrusted with all the new phases of "colored" life, sees the transitional stage of a race, part of whom were born slaves and are now freemen, part of whom have been born freemen but remain so much like slaves.
 It cannot fail to happen as you walk along that you will come upon some cabin set back in a small yard and half hidden, front and side, by an almost tropical jungle of vines and multiform foliage; patches of great sunflowers, never more leonine in tawny magnifcence and sun loving repose; festoons of white and purple morning glories over the windows md up to the low caves; around the porch and above the doorway trellis of gourd vines swinging their long necked, grotesque yellow fruit; about the entrance flaming hollyhocks and other brilliant bits of bloom, marigolds and petunias- evidences of the warm native taste that still disth. 3uishes the negro after some centuries of contact with the old, chast ened ideals of the Anglo-Saxon.-James Lsoe Allen in The Century.
