A MORE HOPEFUL VIEW,

This is world of change, and it is well enough to notice a change made by the Presbytery of Rochester at its meeting last week. The Presbytery had warm discussion over the proposed revision of the Confession of Faith, and it finally re- solved by large majority that the pro posed amendment of the seventh section of the Confession, as we'll as the original sec- ton, relating to election should be stricken out, and the following substituted for it: The decrees of God concerning all man kind are to be so construed as to be in har- mony with these declarations of Scripture, viz.: That Christ is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world, and that God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance and live.
 These are the interesting and weighty reasons given for this important substitu- tion: Because it is the one dark and dread ful item against which more than 8 hun dred Presbyteries lifted their united voice. Because it is a doctrine nowhere taught in the Scriptures, and repudiated by some of the foremost authorities in the denomina- breaches and which no one can preach to the edifcation of saints or the conversion of sinners and the omission of which from the Confession, therefore, can involve no loss to the church or the world. Because it contradiots the sa- cred word, aye, and the solemn oath of Almighty God. The section says that God was pleased to ordain Q multitude of his creatures to dishonor and wrath, but God lifts up his voice and swears: "As I live, saith the Lord, have no pleasure in the death of the wicked" Because it is Contrary to the tenor and spirit of the gospel throughout, which declares in sundry places and in divers manners that God would have all men come to knowledge of the truth and be saved. Because it turns to hollow mock cry the free and universal offer of saliva tion as set forth in the new chapter on that subject Because it bellies the tears of the adorable Saviour. which, in the compassion of his soul he shed over the most incorrigible of sinners, the inhabi- tants of Jerusalem. Pitiable, it was said, must be the state of the mans mind who can turn his bac k upon weeping Saviour to carry out heartless metaphysical the ory, and pernicious and detestable must be the doctrine that can find no place for the tears of the Son of God.
 John Calvin and John Knox wouldn't think much of this performance.

we have just done he could be sure win. ner in the long run"
 I witnessed this transaction, and it inter. ested me SO that I looked the matter up. In the report of the director of the mint ] found full explanation. In that is 6 ta- ble giving the coinage in different denom- nations for each series since the organiza- ton of the hints. The coinage of quar- ters has huctuated in & most remarkable way. Beginning with 1850 the coinage averaged about S40,0O0 year. Then in 1853 it jumped up to S, ,S13, ,555. In 1854 it was almost as much, $3, ,095, 900. Then it dropped to STA, ,260 in 1855. In 1856 it was S1 ,S15, ,000; in 1857, S2, 2,411, 900, and in 1858, S1, ,342 900. Then it dropped again never rising to $400, 900, and in war times averaging only five or six thousand, except in 1861, when it was S1, ,213, $50. In 1875 it was S1 ,075, ,375; in 1876, S4,454, 1S7. 50; in 1877, g, ,727. 927.50. Then began the coinage of silver dollars by the millions, and the production of subsidiary coins dropped way of. For the past ten or if teen years the coinage of quarters has aver aged only S3,000 orS4, 900 8 year.
 Just examine the dates on the quarters that come into your possession, and see how they bear out these statistics. For instance, in 1886 the-e were only S1.471. 50 in quarters coined, and there are thousand chances to one against a coin of this date coming into your hands.

Seagfrt.

Lonely the sun sinks down behind the ocean, The mad surf thunders all along the shore; And sad and sweet, above its wild comnotion, The fitting sea birds mock its sullen roar. Only this barren rock the sea surrounding, Pierces the dusky leagues of ocean gray; Only the voices of sea and sea birds sounding Dies on the melancholy wind away. Hungry, the yawning chasms of ocean spaces Draw, with @ yearning wash the rock weed
 down,
 And seaweeds float, like hair about drowned
 faces
 In gllstening glimpses of the bowlders:abro No scent of herbs or dew annoints the gloaming Nor pleasant drone of happy insects small; Odors of ocean only faintly roaming And oceans endless moaning over au But rowing fancy leaves the dusk Atlantic, The spreading sands faint fiecked with yellow
 foam.
 The breakers leaping with with fury frantic, And turns with fondness to it's hillside home There, far away, in safe and pleasant pastures The lowing cattle cluster at the bars; And as in splendor dies the summer sunset Above the uplands shine the evening stars There chirp the crickets ssftly in the meadows And scents of green things growing fill the
 air.
 There sings the forest grandly in the shadows, And hay-sweet winds blow down the uplands
 there.
 Star-clear see the old familiar faces, hear again dear voices speak to me, And still in fancy tread the we'll known places, While twilight creeps across the lonely sea.

AN IMPORTANT EXPERIMENT.

--@-~~--~-~
 The present administration has done many things to better the postal service, and it has paid some attention to a very important matter, namely, the free deliv- cry of mail matter in villages. There is a law authorizing the postmaster general to try the experiment of free delivery in certain number of small towns, and under this lava very thorough trial has been made in Newark, Delaware, during the last six months. Newark is town of only fourteen hundred inhabitants. Only s19O was placed at the disposal of the postmaster for conducting this experiment for the whole year. The carriers salary was fixed at S14 month, leaving a small amount of money over for letter boxes, which were placed about a quarter of mile apart, so that none of the residents of the village was more than this distance away from letter box. Three collections and one delivery day were made, and in in accordance with the law the postage on local letters was raised from one cent to two. There was much curiosity in the early days and the carrier had to answer many questions. In March he delivered 3,9S7 pieces of mail matter and collected 3,275, the receipts from local postage alone being only $6. The increase was gradual until in August 5,406 were collected and 5,113 were delivered. The local postage increased until it amounted to $17.90 in June and $1s.62 in July. This made an average of receipts from this source of about SIS month-a little less than the salary of the carrier.
 There is no doubt that free delivery would be much appreciated in the small towns. The question is, how far ought the government to go in this directions This country is big, and free delivery in all it's towns would be very expensive operation.

From the Boston Transcript
 The servant girl discussion is breaking out again very earnestly in private circles, though fortunately it is such a dreadful grind that the newspapers do not take it up to any great extent The difficulty of organizing households after the summers absence falls with more maddening force upon women who live in the suburbs than it does upon those who live in the city. At this season a good many girls are looking for places, but they all want them in the city, and every one is looking out for ex- actly the sort of place she wants and will hear of nothing else until she has made sure that she cannot get that. Women who used to pay s a week for a general housework girl now pay $4 90. Cooks get from 5 to S9 week. And the more they are paid the more troublesome they are as rule.
 It is not to be supposed, though the city housekeepers have the first choice of girls, that they are much better of than the sub urban people, after all. Their trouble be- gins when they get the girls into the house; and the more sgirls they keep the more | trouble they have. It is very important that each servants special duties shall be | carefully lsid down beforehand, and every thing covered, or else some important duty
 will be left totally unprovided for. One
 Boston lady, who thought everything was nicely arranged, found sfterward that it
 was nobody's duty to wipe the floor of a little yestibule room about six feet square; and in order to get it done the mistress | had to get down on her knees and wipe | this floor herself. In another large house it was found that the shades in the win dows could not be lowered or raised, be- cause it was nobody's duty to do that. Iu | @ suburban house where two servants were kept, a terrific strife arose as to whether | the second girl should wipe the windows of cooks sleeping room, the cook hay ing made | an energetic acquisition on the mistress to have the seryiceperformedfor for her by some | body.
 Of course. women ask one another, as they have asked thousand times before,
 f'What are we going to do about itf' and they insist repeatedly, as they have insist ed thousand times before, too, that the time has at last come when some joint and i organized step should be taken. There is | a certain amount of talk, as before, of i'm porting Chinese from California, which thing, however, isn't any more likely to be done now than it ever was before.
 The logical way out of the difficulty-or perhaps it should be said, Ios.cel way to get parkway out of the dificulty-is for American families to simplify their life as
 much as possible, reducing their domestic establishments to the fewest possible terms. Let those who possibly can do so dispense
 with servants altogether, and let those who can't do that keep as few as they possibly
 can. Let people lop off the superauities | of their lives; if they do so they can have

Some Interesting Statistics Relative to the Issue of American Silver Mo- ney.
 From the Albany Argusl
 At the club one of the members pulled out a handful of small change to pay his bill.
 "Have you any quarters" said one, who was sitting near.
 "Yes, four. Do you want to borrow them7'
 "No. But what do you want to bet that I cannot guess the dates on theml"
 'I do not know what your trick is, but for f1ier I will bet the coins themselves '
 'Done. I will name the dates. 1853, 1854 and two of 1876. Am rightI
 "Let me see. One is 1854; this is 1877; this 1876, and this is 1853. You guessed three correctly and missed one. So you owe me quarter and owe you 75 cents. Now explain your trick"
 '1t is no trick. The fancy took me a few weeks ago to examine the dates on coins, and found that almost every quar- ter bears one of these dates, with an ooca- sional 1856, 1857, 1858, 1878. I suppose more of them were coined in those years During the weeks have been interested in the subject have seen one 1861, but not single other quarter bearing date ir | the sixties or in the seventies except as have mentioned, If one wanted to bet ai
