There are moments ofsorrow when
all JOY is out of mind, and it seems as
though we had never known gladness,
and never should know it. There are
moments of joy when we forget that
we have sorrowed, and when fear of
sorrow has no place in our mind for
the time being. This is living by the
moment, being absorbed in the sense
of present experience. Why can not

A RULING PURPOSE.
Called of God to n Special Work f
Christ and Humanity

Called of God to Special Work for
Christ and Humanity
All the living members of class that
was graduated from Princeton college
more than twenty years ago returned
lately to visit their Alma Mater, and
to talk over old times, After they had
gone a venerable doctor of divinity,
who had been their tutor when they
were students, said
Il discovered one singular fact with
regard to them. Among them were
three men who, as boys, were full of
enthusiasm; who believed that they
were called to some especial work in
life, and who sacrificed everything else
to that They were the only men in
their class who had made their mark
on their generation.
''Cne was an inventor, another a
leader in a great reform movement. the
third an author. Neither of the three
had made money, or was reckoned, in
the worldly sense of the word. a sue
cessful man; but they were the only
ones who had strongly influenced their
fellow-men."
In old times men generally believed
that God Himself summoned them to a
certain work or method of life. 1t was
their vocation" or calling" because
He called them in it.
In these modern days men are apt to
espouse the cause or take up the occupa-
ton which will pay best

by reason of her freedom from family
ties, can often go where her married
sister is unable to follow.
The world of art, of music, and OF
Literature is rich in the names of single
women whose work is honored. Rosa
Bonheur is a happy woman as she
seizes her brush and transfers to can
vas some rare, beloved form of animal
life, Anne Whitney, Harriet Hosmer,
and many lesser names represent the
work of woman in enduring marble.
In the literary world, notable names of
famous single women are numerous
Frances Power Cobbe and Harriet Mar.
tineau in England, and Miss Grace
Dodge in our own country, are simply
types of those who have moved the
world to a sense of needed reforms.
Mary Lyon, Catherine Beecher, and
Mary Brigham are names glowing with
the influence of strong, loving, enthu-
siastic teachers whose life work was but
a beginning, and small beginning OF
their power, and whose good deeds can
never, in this world, be traced to their
fnality.
In the medical world the tribute OF
all women physicians of to-day is hon
estly paid at the shrine of DR.. Elizabeth
Blackwell, who, with her sister Emily,
established medical school and an in
Urinary for women in the city of New
York, and gave generous aid to those OF
their sex who sought medical training.
In the early days of English litera-
ture, Joanna Baltic, Hannah More and
her five sisters, Miss Milford, and
Maria Edgeworth were names of note.
Grace Darling, Joan of Are, the SIS
tiers Alice and Phoebe Cary, Angelica
Kaufman, with her noble motto, ''Gen-
ius is patience" Amelia B. Edwards,
are names at whose utterance rises a
a vision of power cultivated, genius ex.
ercised, or strong purpose faithfully
pursued Diligence, fidelity, sincerity,
an aim have characterized all these
women. In Phoebe Cary's "a Woman's
Conclusions" is found the secret of her
happy and faithful life.-Harper's Ba-
Ear.

SHORT GLEANINGS FOR WOMEN.

MRS. EVANS, the wife of lawyer and
the mother of five children, is student
in the Iowa state university. She pro.
poses to practice law, and expects to
get two briefs to her husbands one.
THERE is a large carriage manufac-
tory in New York in which the chief
art decorator is woman, Caroline
Kilby, who has twenty women EN-.
ployed in all departments which she
controls.
MRS. WICKENs, of Sabatha, Kan, is
the newly elected president Of the Ma
tional Woman's Relief Corps. She has
served two years as president of the
Kansas department, and filed other i'm
portant official positions
The United States now holds twenty
one law firms made up of husband and
wife. In addition to these there are at
least one hundred and eight American
women who practice law in the courts
or publish legal documents.
The empress of Austria is reputed to
be the best royal housekeeper in
Europe. Everything in the Austrian
palace is under her own personal care.
She orders cooks, buffers and laundry
maids, and is constantly inventing some
thing new in cookery.
FEMININE bishops are a possibility
which Sir Wilfrid Lawson, of conserva-
tive England, suggests, for why not,
since there is no fighting to be donec
st is an intellectual, spiritual and theo.
logical affair, and surely women are as
good in these things as men," he adds
and hopes to live to see the woman
bishop consecrated, as she may do more
good than the men.
Mrs. f. r. GRANNIs, editor of the
New York Church Union" is probably
the only woman who has successfully
carried for nearly twenty years the
whole burden, financial and editorial,
of large religious journal. The paper
is devoted especially to the advocacy of
church union. She is president of the
National Christian League for the Pro-
motion of Social Purity, and an active
member of many benevolent societies
MoRE than 600 delegates attended the
nineteenth annual convention of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
at Denver. Forty-four states, five ter
ritories and the District of Columbia
were represented. The national organ
ization now has 10000 local unions,
$50, 900 members and direct following
of nearly half million women. The
union is the largest organization in the
world composed exclusively Of women
and managed by them.

Sometimes, however, there still e3mes
to boy or man the conviction that a
Power higher than the world, with its
policy and expediency, is urging him
into an untried path. If he is sure that
he is right, let him attempt it, fearing
nothing He will soon have a great
following
The world in its ordinary movements
is shrewd and mercenary; but in its
heart it loyes the man with high pur-
pose, and in the end is led by him.
In the gardens of the Tuileries there
stands the statue of q young girl on
horseback, which is always covered
with fresh garlands and votive wreaths.
In the ancient city of Rouen, in the
market-place where the shrewd huck
sters chatter over their fish and meat,
one space in the pavement is always
kept reverently vacant The pious
Catholics mutter prayer as they pass
it by, and even the hurrying tourists
pause and look at the gray stone witha
quicker beating of the heart. Above is
the inscription: Here the Maid of
Orleans was burned at the stake"
Very few among these plying crowds
know precisely what the cause was
which this girl nearly five hundred
years ago upheld But they do know
that while tending her sheep she heard,
or believed she heard, voices from
Heaven bidding her defend it, and that,
to defend it, she gave up her home and
her womanly life, and in the end suf-
fered death of torture.
1t is not her cause, but her faith in it,
which makes the poor girl of Domremy
alive to us to-day.
But if you have not this faith and
this fervor of purpose, do not pretend
to have them. You will deceive no one
by fire which does not burn.
All the world will know, though you
may not, whether it is Heavenly call
which urges you to yonr eccentric
course, or only the voice of your own
vanity and ambition. Youths Com

Forever I'll sing OF Thy mercies o Lord,
And unto all ages Thy truth will record;
Thy mercy shall ever be builded on high,
Thy truth be established cen unto the sky.
4 covenant sure Thou hast made with Thine

And sworn to Thy Servant to build up His
throne:
His seed to establish His kingdom extend.
Through all generations and world without
end.
Thy Heavens to Thy wonders glad tributl shall
bring;
Y7a, I'll holy angels Thy faithfulness sing.
For who in the sky can he likened to Thee?
What sons of tho mighty Thine equal can beH
A God to be feared in Thy council art Thou; Gus
Above all who round Thee in reverence bow;
o Lord God of Hosts who is like Thee ia might,
With faithfulness round Thee girde lght9
Thou rulest the pride Of the sea at Thy WILL
Its proud swelling waters Thou biddest be still
Thou Egypt hast crushed like the slain from the
land,
And scattered Thy foes with omnipotent hand.

PATIENCE AND CONFIDENCE.
The Christian Virtue That Gives is II Last
ing Victory Over the Flesh.

Shflstian virtue lhat Gives u Last
ing Victory Over the Flesh.
What is patience? What but stead
fast constancy and endurance under
the pressure of the evil of the world,
quiet standing still under the burden
and sorrow laid upon us, humble and
obedient submission to Gods ordering,
even when He permits crosses and
griefs to be our portion; holding
fast the blessing which has been
left us in the midst of all this,
namely, faith, hope and confidence
in better times to come in Gods
wisdom and faithfulness, which finally
make all things to work together for
good for the children of God. Patience
is to keep fast hold of the strength
which comes from His condolences; it is
fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22), lasting
victory over the flesh, which is ever
ready to despair or give way topassion.
The patience in which the soul is to
possess itself is like the firm iron band
round cask which prevents it from
slowly leaking or bursting by reason of
the force of the fermentation within. If
we cast away confidence and the joy
full hope of better future, all capacity
for patience is gone. Thence Paul's
answer to the question: GLOW shall
we hold fast PATIENCE" lie says:
Cast not away, therefore, your conf
dence, which hath great recompense of
reward. For we have need of patience,
that having done the win of God, We
might receive the promises" Heb. 10;
50, S6). In substance, he says that we
are to hold fast by patience by resist
ing the temptation to cast away conf
dence and joyousness, Theodore

WHEELING, w. Va, July 22.-The
prospects of riot at Opekislia, a few
miles below Paramount. this state, on
the Monongahela, in the upper Monon-
gahela coal fields are very good. On
the i4th Of June the Acme Coal and Coke
company discharged eight of their
miners for what they considered good
and sufficient cause. The following day
NJ. S. Moran, president of the United
Mine Workers, called meeting in per.
son and ordered all the union miners
out. This order was obeyed by all the
union miners, but about twelve men did
not belong to the union and refused to
obey. Since that time every effort has
been made by the company to induce
the men to return and 70 to work. The
twelve men who refused TO strike have
been subjected to abuse and intiInida
tion by crowds from other mines. Fear.
ing for the safety of the property the
employers asked for assistance. and d
sheri1fs posse is now on the ground.
