The Tale of Domestic Woe Borne by
Mrs. Mary Perry.

The Tale OF Domestic Woe Borne by
Mrs. Mary Perry.
Mrs. Mary Perry of 90 Langson street
was committed TO the Napa Asylum yester-
day by the Insanity Commissioners. The
inquiry into her case proved it a very sad
and unfortunate one. She is only % years
of age and the wife of painter. The
neighbors say that for two years or more
her husband has subjected her to the most
brutal treatment imaginable, requiring her
to support him with her earnings in dive,
and beating her almost daily. She has
child years old in the care of the Humane
Society. After its birth she refused to work
longer in dives, ard then the cruel treat
ment of her husband was so increased that
she finally broke down under it. Perry has
been missing for week or two.

Many boys in circumstances like Hor- ace Greeleys earn enough by teaching during a part of the year to support then- selves in college during the rest of the time; but he could not afford even that much withdrawal from continuous labor and he would not accept the offer ot some of his richer neighbOrs to support him while at'eollege. He felt 1t to be neces- sarv for him to learn trade and,a chance to go into a printing office occurring, he improved it. lie was also a boy of dig nity too high to have done as some New Hampshire youth are doing to get col legiate education. He would not have paid his way by tips obtained as waiter in a Summer hotel; and therefore he say ed what is far more valuable than any thing college can impart-his self re- spect. Genius or not, Horace Greeley would probably have cut poor figure III the world if he had such sacrifice tC save himself from the misfortune of self education, grievous as that misfortune is He would have weakened or destroyed the best qualities of his character TCharles A.

The Picket Guard.

All quiet along the Potomac tonight, Where the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming; Their tents, in the rays of the clear Autumn
 moon,
 Or the light of the watch-fires, are gleam-
 ing. tremulous sigh, as the gentle night wind Through the forest leaves softly Is creep While stars up above, with their glittering Keep guard-for the army is sleeping. There's only the sound of the lone sentry's
 tread,
 As he tramps from the rock to the foun-
 tain, As he thinks of the two in the low trundle
 bed,
 Far away in the cot on the mountain. His musket falls slack; his face, dark and Grows gentle with memories tender; As he mutters prayer tor the children For their mother-may Heaven defend her! The moon seems to shine just as brightly as
 then,
 The night when the love, yet unspoken, Leaped up to his lips-when lOw-murmured
 VOWS
 Were pledged to be ever unbroken. Then drawing his sleeve roughly over his He dashes off tears that are yelling, And gathers his gun closer up to its place, As ii to keep down the heart swelling He passes the fountain, the blasted pine The footstep is tagging and weary; Yet onward he goes, through thesbrOad belt
 of light, Toward the shade of the forest so dreary. Harl1! was it the night wind that rustled the
 leaves?
 Was it the moonlight so wondrously flash
 ing? ItIooked like a rifle. "Ha! Mary, good-byi" And the life-blood is ebbing and plashing. All quiet along the Potomac tonight No sound save the rush ot the river; While soft falls the dew on the face Of the
 dead
 The pcket's off duty forever.-L LEthelin E.

In the last 20 years, while rates of in terest have been constantly declining in America, vast fortunes have increased more rapidly than ever before. Several non-speculative estates have increased five-fold in less than 10 years. Interest is now very low, but, adding to interest the steady increment of city lands, an ad- dition of at least per cent. per annunl, at compound interest, may be counted upon for these great estates. At that rate, a present fortune of two hundred millions would become billion in less than 10 years. Financial conditions re- maining unchanged, the American bil- lionaire might reasonably be looked for within that time and several billionaires might be expected within GO years.- Thomas G. Shearman in The Forum.

Faith Healing.

The subject of "Faith Healing and Missions is discussed in a vigorous way in a series of articles in Regions Beyond, with special reference to the deplorable loss of life among the missionaries who went recently from Kansas to Sierra Le- one. It seems from official reports for warded by the governor of Sierra Leone and the colonial surgeon that no physic- ians were called to those who were suf- fering with the fever, and that, after the deaths had occu rred, it was with difficult ty that others who were sick were pre- vailed upon to take medicine, being still stanch believers ill the "faith-healing' doctrine. The article in Regions Beyond uses a felicitOus illustration in exposing the fallacy of the theory that prayer and faith are to be substituted for. .rather than conjoined with, the use of means. The mission station on the Lulongo river, i'll the Congo Free State, suffered recently from fire; one house was burned and another caught fire and the station was threatened with destruction. Earnest prayer was offered, and buckets of water were also most vigorously thrown upon the flames and thus the best buildings were saved. To have stood by and pray ed without throwing water, which was near at hand, would be deemed by every one as the utmost presumption. "Now," says the article to which we refer, 'feVer is only kind of fire, burning the body itself instead of a house-that body which is not only the house of our own spirit, and the instrument of all our service in this world, but the temple of the Holy Spirit which we are expressly told is for the Lord.' Are we not to try and eXtin- guish the fever-fire which may destroy 1t in spite of our utmost efforts, and which will certainly destroy it if left to itself: Are we to stand listlessly by and watch the flames doing their fatal W work hour by hour, without lifting hand to save and help? Are we to ask God to eXtinguish the fire and neglect to use the buckets at hand and the river that runs close by? Would not our Lulongo friends have been foolish and criminal had they so acted ?" The argument here presented is com- plete. According to divine appointment quinine is as truly means of protection from African fever as buckets of water are from fire. Not that all levers can be escaped or cured by it's use, any more than all fires when under headway can be extinguished by throwing water. The best means we can use are not always successful. This fact shows us our de- pendence upon God. But when it is clear that he has appointed certain means for certain ends, it is utmost presumption to neglect them. The keen sarcasm of the governor of Sierra Leone when he sends , to the world the message that "the cli- mate of Africa is not suited to faith mis- sions'' may be of service, should it lead any misguided ones to true conception of the nature of faith.-[ Missionary Her. ) aid.

One answer to the question of New EngIand's decadence is found in our treatment of the servant and labor ques- tion. The farmers of our hill towns have been and are now employing help, cheap in every sense of the word. The Ameri- can boy has been driven from the farm, the foreigner, Polander, Irishman, Ger man, and even Italian, have been taken to do the work of the farm, because they could work for less money and would drudge without complaint. And the farmers son has been driven from the soil to the city to seek a fortune, while the farmer hired the first tramp that came along because he would work for low wages.- Rev C. II. Smith.

Until We Meet Again.

It were double grief if the departed, Being released from earth, should still retain
 sense of earthly pain; It were double grief, if the true-hearted Who loved us here should on the farther shore
 Remember us no more. Believing,in the midst of our afdlctlons, That death is a beginning, not an end,
 We cry to them and send Farcwells, that better might be called predic-
 tiOnS,
 Being fore shadOwings of the future, thrown
 Into the vast unknown. Faith overlaDs the confines of our reason And ii by faith, as in old times was said,
 Women received their dead Raised up to life, then only for a season Our partings are, nor shall we wait in vain
 Until we meet again. LonStelloW.

Let the priests mix freely with the people, be of them and with them and enter all their joys and sorrows. Such is the burden of the advice given by Car dinal Gibbons in the course of re- markable interview-an interview in which the cardinal freely and boldly crticises the old ecclesiastical system, the traditional motto of which was that the clergy, especially those wearing mitres, should wrap themselves in thick layers of rigid dignity and avoid close and frequent contact with humble and common folk.

The time was in our New England towns when the hired man could discuss the theological questions of the day with his employer; when he could ask the blessing at the table in the absence or the master of the house; when, in the circles of prayer, his voice was lifted up and the whole family was interested in the question whether he was Christian or not. Qdite as likely as not, he was some neighbours son and the ties of life bound him close to the Christian man who called him neighbor. But now, how seldom we think of the hired man as be- ing at church, every Lords day. How we break the fourth commandment in re- spect to him. He is an alien, foreign CT. And the spiritual condition of the stranger, you care very little about TRey c. H. Smith.

This is the doom of the stay-at-home worshiper. He begins by disliking forms of worship and dislike of forms becomes dislike of the church and preference for some outside, everyday religion of good conduct and devotion to an everywhere God; and the everyday religion becomes no religion, and the everywhere God IS worshped no where, not even at home |; and, unworshiped and unthought of, grows strange, improbable, and ceases to be believed in or to signify aught for be- lief; in a word. is unknown and unknOw- able. has no existence whatever for knowledge, and therefore none for con- duet, whose motives are necessarily mo- tivcs of knowledge, and thus, for con- duct and character,is no God at all. Az nosticism is practical atheism. And now the stay-at-home has lived an atheistic life until his faculties and sentiments have taken it's tone. He has hablted himself to unbelief until he cannot be- lieve if he would, and would not if he could. Eyes kept long in the dark go Dllnd; speech IS IolSoCCeh ah,' hU itself becomes imbecile in long solitary confinement; the souls vision may bo lost likewise, and the souls mother tongue of prayer, and the souls power to think God. Disuse is death, and for a dead soul God is indeed unthinkable, or rather God too is dead and the uni verse is His tomb. In such a universe, there is no use in going to church and no church to go to- This life is all and earth is the only heaven, and money Is the heaven of earth.- Rev R. A. Hol- 1onI

Many of the BEES readers have doubt less received circulars from Chicago of fering a crayon portrait free, if the per son receiving the circuler would send on a photograph. This giving of something for nothing has been justified in the cir culars as a method of the firm for adVer- tising their work in the community. inc trick consists in getting the portrait and then sending back word that it will cost from $7 to $l5 to frame the crayon, which is to be forwarded on receipt or the money. The frames are placed at a figure that makes it profitable business but the men engaged in it have been in- dicted by the federal grand jury for us- ing the United States mails to carry on a fraudulent business. The developments show that one of these companies has lm- posed on credulous public at the rate ot 100 cray yons day and another to the tune of 300 portraits daily.
